It’s interesting that the one of first things John hears on the train is the conversation between the priest and Jenny. Jenny brings up flying machines and the priest tells her “only angels can fly.” The very last conversation John has before shit hits the fan is with Jack. John asks Jack if he’s heard about flying machines and Jack tells him “they turn men into angels.”

So as a young man I was raised without a father or ANY strong male role model. I ended up emulating Clint Eastwood and all the great Spaghetti westerns of the '60's and 70's. As a child of the eighties the western thing wasn't all that huge yet, so I felt like an outcast. I always wanted to be that mysterious and dangerous gunslinger who was always one step away from being a villain . This game allowed me to be that man. For that reason it will always be the greatest title of all time in my eyes!

When I first played RDR1 I was quite young and didn’t really understand why so many had such a high opinion of it but playing it through some years later when I had matured a bit more I realised it was the overall atmosphere and world the game creates; the soundtrack, characters, random encounters, the actual map and the way it’s laid out, even down to the way people talk it feel like everything was fine tuned to make you feel like you are really living in the last days of the Wild West. I can’t think of many games that base themselves off a certain era in time and do it as well as red dead redemption did

I actually think the game was designed around auto-snap aiming because it actually delivers experiences (not skill based ones) that are more cinematic and thematically appropriate. Yes, it sacrifices skill for this, and maybe that's a bad trade-off.

I am currently playing GTA4 again it really holds up the Phyics, The choices you can make which lead to different side quests findimg the side quests gives a sense of discovery as they are hidden. Going on dates and if you cheat on The likes of Kiki she fucks up your car. Hanging out with Friends adds to Niko and will offten give you more back story. The main story is great and makes it great over all. Theres things GTA5 does better and things San Andreas does better but they are worth playing. RDR2 really surpasses RDR1 with its side quests, Random encounters, NPC interaction, wildlife, Hand to hand combat, Leval of detail, exploration and disovery, Horse riding, Graphics, The honour system has more of an impact on the story of arthur, The chracters and story are more fleashed out. So I do think unlike GTA4, San andreas and GTA5 which are quite differnt, RDR2 being a sequel as far as the open world goes really surpasses it But at the very least its still great.

" After all, the imagination is much more capable of filling in the gaps than a writer is." If only there were writers with imagination. Imagine the possibilities.

It's kinda weird to call old women "Chicks".

I actually liked the ending to that mission where you save bonnie. John thinks he's sly by makes a cringy joke and she just calls him out. Then he just shrugs his shoulders and leaves lol. Classic rockstar humor. RDR2 is has a much more serious tone to it. Im loving the story so far, but I do sometimes miss these little comedic moments.

17:20 Buy the newspaper's final issue of the game as Jack. It's mentioned that Seth DID find the treasure he was looking for and returned to his family.

I like how each part of your critique and issues you mentioned in the game or elements that are not polished, in RDR2 are the exact things Rockstar paid attention to and actually improved them a lot.

He critiscized the gunplay and yet rockstar made it even worse in rdr2.

One of my all time favorites. This game was/is a dream come true for fans of western and games.

Oh they DEFINITELY improved it. Red Dead 2, AMAZING!!!

I feel bad my ex girlfriend bought me this game for Christmas, we actually broke up and I never bothered with the gift. I still have it and the zombie one, both unopened. Maybe I should fire up the ps3 and play it!

You totally should, if you have started by the time you read this, let me know what you think about the game

Dead eye makes you feel like bad ass gunslinger from Clint Eastwood movies while you play using a controller.

I think RDR1 and RDR2 are the only games I like more than The Witcher 3. Witcher series is fantasy and really well written coming from novels but RDR just has this intimate story told over this sprawling adventure. I'm not a huge Rockstar fanboy all the time, I find the GTA series a little too juvenile in it's humor but RDR just hits a really solemn, touching feeling while still slipping in some humor that's silly but not too childish. I think it's the best balance I've seen. And Undead Nightmare is my favorite expansion that's ever been released. RDR2 is always what I use when I talk with friends who don't play games about how amazing their narrative can actually be.

its crazy how rockstar is capable of having really good foresight, improving on so many mechanics from the first game whilst also having little foresight and not improving other aspects of the their formula in rdr2

It’s both good and bad but I think they know they have to switch it up for gta6

Well considering Bonny lives in McFarland's ranch (her father's ranch) and the railroad does pass by it, all the way to Armadillo, which is the way the train is heading, maby she just took a ride to Armadillo to pick up supplies or something like she does later in the story. She does it by wagon though, later in the story.

Had it been accurate, Johm would have died from his bullet wounds, broken bones, torn arteries and open, festering tear wounds and subsequent blood loss and infection or from a common Western disease or sickness like dysentery

I read somewhere a while ago that the code for the game was a mess and they were suprised it worked out for the console version, which is why there wasnt a PC version They'll probably release a PC version of the game later like they did for GTA V

If the reason for red dead redemption not getting a pc release is the reason I suggested above, it fits with what Luke said in the video, then I dont see why they wouldnt release it for pc eventually, it means more sales for rockstar, and who wouldnt like to earn more money

This is my favorite game of all time

Hey buddy, I know you’re busy a lot so I just wanted to say on behalf of the little Lukie Stephens fan club, thanks for taking the time to make this great content! Great vid btw :P

38:55, this is exactly what Rockstar is planning on. Get people to buy the game twice.

Dude, thank you for your thoughts and efforts on this. Here I am in May of 2021 saying, "HELL YEA!"

Red dead 2 ruined the western part of the map, it doesn’t feel like the Wild West. It looks too modern. Maybe it’s the advanced technology rockstar used, doesn’t look rustic.

I've been waiting ages for this one.

as soon as i saw this video in my sub box i got so pumped!

Such a fantastic game. I don’t get all these fans ranking the two Red Deads... for their time, they’re both ahead of it.. both products of it.. they’re equal in their own right. I view the RD titles as R*’s hobby rather than their career (GTA). You can tell they just have so much more fun with them based on the overall research that goes into making the environment and aesthetics so nostalgic and accurate. I hope they continue to make more of these. I personally would like to see a remaster of the original! I think we all deserve to see Dutch die with this new technology after them having put us through that emotional rollercoaster of RDR2.

when I first played rdr in the beginning I thought they were doing what they did in GTA 3 where the main character was mute throughout im glad I was wrong I hated that about GTA3 who wants hellen keller as there hero

Uhm, blind people, I guess...

RDR is one of the reason I still own and play my PS3. It is a game that I constantly come back all of these years later. If I am truly honest with myself, this sit in my top 5 games of all time along side Yoshi's Island and Hotel Dusk.

this game is really the best game ive ever played and it probably wont change for years to come. it made such an impact on me, especially the first time i experienced the main character i played through an entire game with dying(and i did not see it coming at all) it solidified the #1 spot for me. great job on the analysis luke! keep it up.

The facial animations are actually still really good, there's something about them that almost makes them look better than the second game (not that they are cause they're not).

RDR2 is coming to pc on the 5th November 2019.......a message from the future.

Rockstar should remaster this game especially after the release of RDR2 which was set before the activities of of the first release of the series

Still playing the magnificent Rdr2.. then going for 1 first time. Haven’t met a single person who hasn’t said it’s a masterpiece and the music wow🎉

Oh, I love the pretense that you put on about explaining the intro to the game, like we've never played this game before.

Hey Luke, I really enjoyed your video, discussion and critique. Very well edited and narrated. Keep it up man☺. Hope to see your channel grow. Also is there any other game you wish Rockstar should make, open world specifically? For me something into sci-fi would be cool. Love to hear your thoughts.

They are allegedly working on a game called "Agent," which would be a big spy thriller but done in a rockstar way. I'm super excited for that if it ever sees the light of day!

I'm very nervous for RDR2. It's got big shoes to fill. Lots of expectations on that game. It's always hard to follow up a game like that. I mean they've done so many times with GTA vice city, san andreas, 4 and 5 all being better than the last. But Rockstar has changed this generation. Gaming has changed this generation. This is the first release of theirs this generation. I have no doubt it will be great. But will RDR2 be "the next" RDR? I have to say I'm a little worried.

"for the upcoming RDR2" Oh lawd if I could only go back to that cold winter night when I first saw the opening card "the year is 1899 and the age of outlaws is nearly at an end". Truly an unforgettable gaming experience.

I love the small bar that says “spoilers: this is the ending of the game!”

you always make me appreciate the things i never think of appreciating in games, good work

Red dead redemption is a masterpiece🔥💯

Theory: Bonnie was originally intended to be a much larger character instead of basically a one-off tutorial giver. Evidence by the hints of romantic intrest she seems to show to John Marston in the first few cutscenes with the two. (as for why she's on the train)

@cynicalgold9992

Calling Bonnie a "one off tutorial character" makes it look like youve never played the game. She is most certainly NOT a one off character.

I remember getting this game years ago and I played the hell out of it

What you say at around 29:30 is amazing. Everything you said they could have included with the hunting was included in RDR2.
