Wow..anyone hear after playing Red Dead 2? This is some heavy stuff. Playing the game the first time around was great, but getting to know how it was before. Even more powerful
I cried so hard at this. I miss this. This wasn't just a game. This felt like my second life. My childhood dreams, everything I've ever wanted. Remembering this feeling I went into my closet and pulled at the old 360 and replayed Red Dead Redemption, just one more time. We only get one life, but this felt like I was living another. And just hearing that voice again, I was bursting into tears. A voice like my fathers.
Just after you've shot Dutch to finally put your dirty past to rest, sitting on your horse up on that snowy hill, tiny flakes blowing past, and it's just dead quiet... And you hear nothing but the wind, and just this deafening silence after all the talking and the running and the chasing, the bloodshed and the sarcasm and the money... And then this song starts playing. And you know this one thing for sure, and it's the truest thing you've ever known; you're gonna see your family again. Thank you, Rockstar, for making the most powerful gaming moment I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing. ¤ ¤ ¤ OUTLAWS TO THE END ¤ ¤ ¤
When RDR2 came out I never played RDR1, but once I finished the game with high honor, I bought a ps3 and RDR. Once I reached this scene, a buck rode alongside me. I was imagining it was Arthur’s spirit.
After I beat red dead 2, I bought ps now for a year just cause Red Dead 1 is on there. I'm still working my way thru it, a little at a time. Ive just been spoiled by the graphics and game play of rdr2 that its hard to go back
It's funny how Rockstar is able to make much more emotional impact on us when they just simply add music as a background of the gameplay and nothing that special. And other big game studios tend to make big budget moments with lots of effects and shit to affect us as much as possible and the result is just super boring and generic. No game studio is even close to Rockstar Games.
CoD does have epic moments, though mostly in the older titles, like the original Modern Warfare. The nuke, Gaz's quick but impactful death. Then Soaps death in later games, etc.
@@auslander1776in Infinite Warfare, the final battle in the control room of the shipyard is similar with the music in the background leading up to the final scene
0:21 - Dutch was right. Their time was past, after his death the law went after John, most likely the last real outlaw of the wild west and Jack avenged his father without any witnesses and propably after that he turned to pretty normal life.
I honestly don't think Jack returned to normal life. Ross's wife and brother and the agent in Blackwater all saw his face. Him shooting Ross makes Arthur's and John's sacrifice pointless.
I just simply got goosebumps on every of those important moments of the game where a song started. Those songs are so perfectly chosen for those situations, truly a masterpiece.
I know this sounds corny but this scene was so so beautiful and emotional the whole time you play the game up until this point your fighting and playing all these missions for John to get back to his family and then on the journey back you have this amazing song play about how all John wants to do is be with his family and he finally gets it this is one of the many reasons why this is my 2nd favorite game of all time.
I agree with everything. Like i absolutely loved last of us and other games like that, but RDR1 and 2 just really hit me more. Hands down my favorite game series’. Other then that i’d have to say Assasins Creed (2 up to Revelations)
After rdr2, these two games are trully art. Best moments in my life. It hit me right in the heart. The feelings that I have for the series i far more than love. Thank you rockstar, thank you.
''Head home to see your family''....First time I played this (now my favoruite) game and saw this quest I fucking cried !! Best game ever man, can't wait for RDR 2
@@Commander_Rane here now after beating rdr2 like four times God its jst as great but its way sadder all I will say no spoiling shit jst it's way sadder and the soundtrack is jst if anything a lil more amazing!
The thoughts that must of ran through John's mind on that ride to Beecher's Hope. Seeing his former father figure, the man that taught him how to read and write and took him under his wing just die even after all what happened. He must of had thoughts about Arthur too.
If anything, I seriously wish they keep Red Dead 2's plot as far away as possible from 1. Not because it was bad (Hell no, it wasn't!), but because it undermines John's sacrifice. John makes it a point constantly that he no longer cares for the Van Der Linde gang and that he is doing all of that *exclusively* for his family he built. Retroactively putting flashbacks in and making it seem like a remembrance of his times as an outlaw entirely defeats that very purpose. Specially at that very moment. The song literally spells it out. The only thing that he is thinking on at that moment is his family. Doing something as small as even a nod to Arthur will take the attention from that away.
Wow you sure timed that arrival perfectly. I made a capture of my same experience of this song, different route. But it was so emotional. Especially with Dutch's ending. Not knowing their history at that time (we do now after RDR2) you just knew there was a LOT of history and you could feel how hard it was for John. Incredible story writing.
This game has two of the most unbelievable moments in gaming. The ride in to Mexico, and this. When this hit me out of the blue at 3am, it was incredible. I was expecting moments like this in RDR2, and it never happened....
I was looking at the mountain after the mission ended thinking “man everything from rdr2 led to this moment, everything that happened ended here and only John’s left standing,” and some coyotes jumped me and made the song stop 😭
the first time i done this mission i cut trought the forest and, after a short ride in the woods the landscape open up into the great plains, with the sun about to set in the distance and a perfect timing solo (the one that start at 3.20) begins while still galoping home, it was glorious to say the least.
I still get emotional when I go back and play RDR1 and I get this part and the song starts up it's just such a good moment because of the journey you go on with John Marston and you come what seems to be the end of it and this great song plays after Dutch's death then it's triumphant and it just gives you or at me at least this triumphant feeling that's just I did it
Fuuuck. I just did the mission, just needed to see Abigail, had to go to work so I paused the game, came back, god damn power saving turned off the console, and now I can't trigger the song. I'm sad now. Such powerful moment with this song.
7 years ago I beat rdr1 and it was one hell of a ride playing as john , 1/2 years ago I beat rdr2 twice and it is really an emotion story playing as arthur, just like its predecessor , rockstar games is going down in my books as the best game developers in terms of a good story . I am currently replaying rdr1 beating it again to relive those awesome moments playing as john.
When the mission is over and the music is playing you know you can still do other things, stranger missions, maybe hunt or just put off the game. But no, the music just obligates you to run at your family
I remember riding in the snow taking in what happened along with this beautiful song, only to be tackled off my horse by a fucking bear who went on to maul John. Magical moments in gaming
Quando vc sabe que ele esta indo para reencontrar sua familia,ensinar algumas coisas a seu filho,cuidar da casa por um tempo,isso se torna muito emocional.
The way they implemented music into these games still amazes me to this day. Compass in RDR1. Unshaken in RDR2. Of course some other musical bangers. But these 2. Damn. Perfect.
It's cool how R* makes a scene more impactful and effective by just adding music in the background. Other game companies put so many effect, filters, etc. Only to make it intersting for first time watchers but second time it will feel boring.
No matter how great DRD2 is, RDR1 definitely had better main antagonist (Ross and what he represents). Maybe it's because the main antagonist in RDR2 is not the law or Pinkertons or Cornwall or Bronte, but some other important person.
1899: THEY WILL NOT CRUSH US!
1911: Our time is passed, John...
So sad :(
Thanks heisenberg
Over a decade can make a difference
Dutch in RDR 2: I didn't have a choice
Dutch in RDR 1: There's always a choice
I HAVE A PLAN
Red Dead was more than a game. It was an art, an emotional experience.
Maybe the biggest gut blow I've ever felt in any work of art was playing through that epilogue, and hearing Jack's voice instead of John's.
agreed, its unfortunate they never released a remastered version for the new consoles
Red dead 2 is way more emotional
On the outside they're just shooter games, on the inside they're emotional masterpieces that comment on the nature of America
@@babbel-0511 I think rdr2 actually makes rdr1 way more emotional than it already is
If only John had pulled the trigger when Ross made that stupid joke...
Or after he said where they are. Then he should've pulled the trigger. :'(
+Jonathan Almendarez Who would have killed him? The other folks weren't around in that moment...
Yeah, but he could've taken the force of BOIs and soldiers who were weakened from the fight with the gang.
+Jonathan Almendarez Not really. Again, most of the force was wiped out in the gunfight with Dutch's gang. In addition, that small of a force would easily be handled by John. It was only when Ross brought overwhelming force and odds against John that he succeeded in killing the guy.

Both this and your first entry into Mexico are gaming moments that will stand the test of time.

Kay settle down bud this one moment from a game ain't gonna cause world peace any time soon
When Arthur was riding back to camp one final time I kinda thought of this moment.
Those moments will stand unshaken.
@@Nrzpokrter That's the way it is
I feel like RDR2 makes this feel 100x more important than it already was.
It made me not want to kill them... they were family... just pushed to the end of their ropes.

Thanks for putting this on YT, we needed HD quality to bring this emotional scene to new young people who will not give RDR1 a chance... Sadly..
If they do decide to ever remake rdr1 in RDR2 it’d be cool to see little flashbacks from rdr2 from Johns perspective as your riding
I'd love to see a remake of them both, Red Dead 2 which runs straight into Red Dead 1 in the same title

Somehow, the Xbox 360 notifications only add to the emotional weight of this video.
What made the ride home so much better for me was that I never got attacked by wildlife, the sun was setting which just set the mood, perfect
I just played the game this year. I started December 2019 and ended it yesterday, this was one of the best gaming experiences that I ever had😭.
That part got me into tears
This moment means so much more after Red Dead Redemption 2
This is the moment where i stopped riding the horse and listen to the song only. Brilliant.

Until bear spawns out of nowhere and kills you. Thats the moment where it just ruins your experience of listening the song.

No matter how great DRD2 is, RDR1 definitely had better main antagonist (Ross and what he represents). Maybe it's because the main antagonist in RDR2 is not the law or Pinkertons or Cornwall or Bronte, but some other important person.
