I hate to bring this conversation to this particular game, because it was so well made and everything, but I think because players are actively involved that games can get away with fairly rudimentary stories and be considered narrative masterpieces without much effort. This _can_ happen with movies and I imagine literature too, after all, it has always mattered at least a little bit more how a story is told than what it contains. The story seems pretty safe to me as far as Rockstar games goes. The characters play their expected roles and don't really deviate from them. It feels like they reinforce the same points over an over, just in this one game, but up to and including rehashing the ending from the first Red Dead Redemption. I mentioned in the comments of a completely different video that the basic plot seems like it got a trial run in GTAIV's "Lost and Damned" DLC. Even though that almost seems _less_ safe to me because it has such a downer ending but they don't kill the protagonist at the end. I don't know. It's obvious I'm in the minority by being disappointed, and normally I wouldn't care but I think my biggest pet peeve is Rockstar never lets a story unfold. I don't know how many hours it takes to finish RDR2, but It would've been more interesting to me to see Dutch perhaps go from charasmatic, ideological revolutionary to a volatile gangster in love with the smell of his own farts. As it stands getting a whiff of his own farts is pretty much what we can assume he's always been about despite some disputed words to the contrary. If anyone thinks "well it's clever they let players decide for themselves" imagine how much more clever it would be if you showed us the gang at the height of their loyalty to Dutch, and we were _still_ in a position to decide for ourselves. Look at this way, in the first game Dutch suggests that Abbigail was a prostitute who slept with every member of the gang, even if the prequel retains the basic backstory of Abbigail's prostitution (I don't remember anything about it) they don't _really_ paint a picture of a gang were that scenario seems even remotely plausible. That's the kind of thing I mean when I say "safe"

More recently, the Pope spoke directly to the mafiosi in 2014 about asking them to "stop doing evil" after the targeting and murder of a 3-year-old boy.

The Pinkerton Detective Agency was a private investigator firm which back then was hired by the U.S. government as well as various private clients - such as Mr. Cornwall in the game - to deal with interstate crime cases that could be anything from a missing person case to taking down outlaws like the game's Van der Linde Gang. They were very expensive but had the largest force of field agents in the States; in a sense they were forerunner for the FBI. Also, something I noticed as a regularity in the commentary: cowboys are NOT to be mixed with outlaws and gunmen. Being a cowboy was a legitimate business of herding cattle from A to B across long distances and living on the rough along the animals, as opposed to ranchers who were working at a more or less fixed location. It was the bandits and outlaw gangs that made a living by robbing trains, banks, stagecoaches, etc. Fun fact: There was also a tradition of "cowboying" in Europe as well up to the mid/late 1700s in Central Europe and the Balkans, with medieval Hungary being the biggest contributor to it. Since Hungarians had a nomadic ancestry before settling in Europe, trekking long distances with animals wasn't at all a strange concept and they herded quality cattle for meat and hide as far as the markets of London. In Hungarian we called these people a "hajdú" (hajdúk in plural) which is a derivative of the word "hajtó" which means - among other things - a herder or cattler.

"Be loyal to what matters." - Arthur Morgan, 1899

Been waiting for this one Keep posting great Videos Gamology i appreciate the work you put in theese videos gamology keep posting

When you go into depth on what is better, to be loved or feared, I've always been told that it's better to be feared, however i've always been a firm believer that loyalty is the most important thing to have (to be loved). I would get ridiculed by my answer everytime by people around me, but in turn would see the same people have their lives flipped on their heads when someone close to them either stabbed them in the back or betrayed them because of monetary gain, attention, lust or fear as you put it. I might've lost a ton of people in my life due to being too naive, hoping people have a good heart by default, but in turn I've slowly regained a circle of people that not only are understanding and loyal, but also ready to have my back... which is shocking, but so refreshing to experience. I'm not of course fully there yet, but it's slowly becoming a reality.

I would've loved more emphasis on Bronte's crime syndicate in Saint Denis (RDR's New Orleans) and Michael's reaction to it and the idea of the criminals of the old meeting the new, civilized form of organized crime that he brought up. Still, it's always entertaining to hear his insight into crime stories.

I’ve been watching some of Michael’s stuff for awhile now, his great with his words, I never quite expected this to be honest

Where does Gamology find these people 😭

So glad he’s reacting to this game!

Hey Jet, I’ve been watching your content for a lil while now and I’ve played Twd like 3 times now,there will be more downs then ups but the ups are pretty great. Just wanted to let you know that we are here for emotional support and wanna let you know I’m here for you and your fans are here for you.this game is really taxing on whoever plays it mentally and puts a different perspective on how a game could be so dark and so good at the same time just hope it doesn’t put a bad taste in your mouth (love your content don’t stop or I’ll come to your house)

Another amazing video

This game has something for everyone us western lovers and outlaw gangs. Storywise its also awesome and you really get emotional. Not alot of games make you feel that way :)

"Gotta tell ya, these cowboys had balls". Best line of the video!

Dude ive been waitinh for thisss

Love how he talks about being loved or feared. I agree with him.

I can sit and listen to his stories for hours. He’s such a cool dude

Holy Michael Franzese, Batman! I watch his videos all the time, and it feels like such a treat to see him on Gamology. We're spoiled.

He mentions Yellowstone, I wonder how much grey area "organized crime" occurs on some of these ranches out West. Grey area in that it's in that weird dubious legal limbo where ranchers are the law unto themselves in certain areas

Good video. Keep em coming

2:48 He says 'Where does he get the information from' they got it from The O'Drisolls

I can confirm through a friend of mine that it is possible to pay your way out of the mob. He got caught up in a gun fight while picking up drugs from the triads. Decided that's not how he wanted to go. Paid 10k to get out quietly. That was nearly a decade ago. No trouble since then.

Love is a far better motivator then fear. I would never betray someone I love out of fear, but I would certainly betray someone I hate out of fear, and since I usually hate the people I fear that would be a problem for the person I fear less.

Very wise words.

I love that despite not being some big expert on the old west, historically speaking, he still applied his knowledge of his experiences with the mafia to how gangs used to function back then. The fact that everything he said was spot on blows my mind. It just shows how much old practices carry into the new. Even in a different time period, things could be the same. You could put the Van Der Linde gunslingers next to a bunch of Capone's lieutenants and they'd probably be similar in everything except for appearance.

Good point about being feared and loved. Arthur and John truly loved Dutch despite his faults and never betrayed him to the law unlike Micah. We can the same with Molly and even Strauss they never said anything

Now we got to have the ex-mob boss and Chris the Cop react together to a project

Damn was just watching red dead 2 videos, today, never played either one, and was just watching his videos yesterday! What a time pleasant surprise

I think It would be better if Michael reacted to Mafia 3, GTA 4-5, Sleeping Dogs or the Yakuza games. Doesn't seem like the wild west is something a mafia boss can relate to as much.

I must remind everyone, during the events of RDR2 (Red Dead Redemption 2), the year was set in 1899, while the wild west ended in 1865. During the early 1900, we are beginning to see the construction of cities, federal law, and travel on a national scale. RDR2 represents the end of the gunslingers and outlaws, where the last few criminals and vigilantes are hunted down and either arrested or hung.

1) We know what "RDR2" is. No need to add "Red Dead Redemption 2" in parentheses. 2) You don't need to explain the plot of RDR2. We fucking know. In fact, what you just said is explained with text in the opening of the game.

Michael! Your comment at 13:45 on how things would go if it were Mob v. Cowboys has been answered! There was a show called Deadliest Warrior a long while back! It was Jesse James' outlaw crew from history pitted against Al Capone's mob. Amazing insight in how things would have gone down, and even a winner was picked in the end!

The question is: *Did he have faith in the Plan?*

Oh, to clear some confusion. The game is set in 1899, when outlaw gangs were dying out and the mafia was rising.

He’s so right about it bein hard to fight back when someone decks you in the face multiple times 😂

This is so random but I love it

I like how the mob boss is congratulating rdr for completing jobs

With how much he talks about contingency plans I’d love to see his idea on the failed trolley robbery

6:35 they’re in a city based on New Orleans, Louisiana. And if you know your mob history (which I’m assuming you do) the Italian mafia originally set up in New Orleans. In fact in 1891, so roughly 8 years before the game is set, Police Chief David Hennessy was shot and killed either by members of the Mantranga or Provenzano family which led to the New Orleans Lynching, the largest lynching in American history in which 11 Italian-Americans were killed

I would pay money to see Michael play this game on twitch.

7:48 I thought the same thing when I got to this scene. I mean we knew it wasn't going to ever happen at this point, but had we been in his position I think most of us wouldn't have tried that angle. Maybe if Dutch WASN'T there it might've seemed like a play, but you don't really want to try that when the boss is right in front of them.

I like hearing this particular perspective, very interesting. I enjoyed this

The collaboration I never knew I needed. LOL.

That’s how I woulda did it

I was in a major 1% motorcycle club. I got out. I hit a very low point in life. In this period I played red dead 2. The storyline spike to me. Great game

love how his eyes sparks up when Italy is mentioned, haha

I enjoyed this more than I thought I would 😊 They could've have given the guy a bit more context for each situation. The factors and Nuance+ that the person playing gets to make certain decisions...Also I wonder if he knows this is a prequel, We all know what ultimately happens to the Van Der Linde Gang
