Life is absurd. Lean into it.
One of the greatest games of all time in my opinion.

John’s story, which I just started, is cool. But, damn, I need money. I’m desperate out here, robbing anything that crosses my path. What I love about this game is how it ties your style of play to the narrative arc of the character you’re controlling.

Just completed part 2. Ended more abruptly than I would have liked, missing context that explained John’s mission in RDR, but I actually liked it more than the first part - and that was amazing in and of itself. I never thought Dutch was a bad person, finding him fatally idealistic, so I’m glad he somewhat redeemed himself. I want to say Arthur deserved a better ending, but it was made all too clear that he wasn’t a good person, only developing a conscience as his mortality came into view. Would LOVE a RDR3 starring Charles. He was my favorite character in the game.
Ranks among the best games I’ve ever played.

It's been a year since I've played the single player (might have to fire it back up), but wasn't the bolded explained in the credits?

Wow, I didn’t wait for the credits to end.
They're like 40 min long but in between they had scenes that set up the original RDR
Here are all the scenes compiled

Funny enough I’ve just completed RDR1 this weekend even though I bought it on day one (I’m terrible at completing games) and the story hits differently when you’ve completed RDR2.
I know a lot of people are not a fan of RDR2’s slow start but I absolutely love it. Other than probably MGS no game series touches the story of RDR.

I tried this when it came out, ending my session after just an hour or two, finding the place plodding and the movement too slow. Everything, from how your character walked to how he interacted with the environment, moved with a deliberate sluggishness that almost seemed to interfere with your agency. It made for a disconnect that I wasn’t able to overcome until recently.
I returned to it, taking my time with an understanding that this is how Rockstars wanted you to experience Arthur’s story. And, taking that into consideration, I have to say that this stands as one of the best games I have ever experienced.
I just ended the 1st story, which was epic in how it charted the consequences that inevitably - for most men, I’ll say - meet a life of depravity and violence. I loved Arthur as a character, despite knowing he wasn’t a good person at all, his qualms over the course of the game coming only as he pondered his mortality.
I don’t want to be spoiled, since I’ve only just begun the 2nd part, but that ending had to have been because of the choices I made. It was so sudden and unforgiving, as if to show me the error of my ways.
I don’t know what to think about Dutch. I don’t necessarily see him the way Arthur did at the end, as a man who betrayed his brothers for venal ends. I think he was a flawed idealist who had a vision he wasn’t willing to let go of, no matter how impractical or even impossible it became as the world encroached on him and his gang.
fukk Micah, though.
Bought the game and only played it for one day smh
