American Venom but it's a Western Film

Red Dead Redemption 2's Final Mission, Epilogue: American Venom.
John Marston tracks down a lead for the notorious Micah Bell high into the bone-chilling, snowcapped peaks of Mt. Hagen, seeking revenge for his fallen brother, Arthur Morgan.
No Deadeye, No HUD, just straight up cinematic gunslinging.

[@ethan-gy2sx]

one of the only criticisms i have of this level is that it’s supposed to be really badass and cinematic, yet, you’re dialogue gets interrupted every time you get shot. i really want to hear every line of dialogue from John. there’s no place to take cover so it’s guaranteed you’re gonna get shot. when i first played this level, i kept getting hit every time John started to say something so i was running up that hill with John repeatedly yelling “Micah- Micah- Mi- Micah-“. it really pulls you out of the moment.

[@BrunoHartmann-]

To be honest John shouldn't even be screaming Micah in this mission, I know it's meant to be badass and all but all he's doing is revealing his position even more.

Yeah and that was super unrealistic, you could’ve had a fighter like Charles appear on the other side since he only had a shoulder injury and it’s make sense if he was aiming as weakly as Sadie… but come on. A gut stab wound and she manages to run up the other side of a mountain in a shootout?

@@alext399 yeah, Dutch was gonna kill Micah regardless of whether or not John had showed up. When John asks what he’s doing there, he says “Same as you, I suppose.” John’s there to kill Micah, Dutch knows that. Meaning that was his plan too. Micah was probably with Dutch to hand him over to the pinkertons. At least that’s how I’ve always looked at it.

I absolutely love playing this game with no reticle/ mini Map/ etc….. making a good shot on a human or while hunting with no dot in the way is so satisfying.

@BRUVVAA 1st person view is aiming down your barrel / iron sights. third person is developing the feeling for it.

[@SpecterNeverSpectator]

@BRUVVAA it isn't really hard once you try, I've played a lot of games without reticle and it's kinda intuitive to just feel the center.

[@Insane0industry]

@BRUVVAA yeah it just practice. side note.. dual wielding guns in first person will alsow have no reticle or ads. but its easy cause de reticle is allways dead centre

[@Illsayanything]

@BRUVVAA yea it’s all about just knowing where you’re at. If you have aim assist on you normally lock on in the middle of their chest. Headshots are basically muscle memory in third person, but in first person it’s all about tapping down on the D pad and just using the iron sights.

[@Illsayanything]

@BRUVVAA you’ll get it once you try man! I played all of red dead redemption and rdr2 with no reticle or mini map and I’m not gonna lie…. The missions where your accomplice is hanging from a rope and you have to shoot it to secure their safety are almost impossible with no reticle 🤣 Besides those very rare situations, I’ve gotten 100% more enjoyment and immersion from playing with no assistance.

This is definitely the only other American Venom that isn't my own, which I consider to be one of the bests. Great triple at the beginning.

Good to see more people appreciating skill and finesse in RDR2, it's a rare thing but mostly appreciated through American Venom.

I was thinking: imagine being Micah in American Venom. You came to know that your buddy Cleet was killed by a man and a woman. A few hours later you hear gunshots closer and closer to your hideout, and you hear your men screaming and dying while a man is running up the mountain screaming your name; but you're still calm because you have Dutch by your side. In the end, you find yourself in a shootout against the guy you never thought would come and search for you and right after you thought you won because of Dutch's arrival, you get shot in the stomach by the man you thought by your side.

[@El_Krani]

I like to think that despite Micah dissing John all the time, he knew they were brothers in arms at one point and what each other are capable of when they set their sights on a goal. So Micah sends out his men in flocks to try and overwhelm John because he knows, given the terrain and their numbers its probably the best chance he has at stopping John. After all raids like these never scared the sons of Dutch, i think its why Micah stayed in the cabin as opposed to being hot headed and running straight towards John. That little quiet moment where John is outside the cabin must’ve been real interesting between Dutch and Micah. Also i love this little parallel Cornwall: Ill do no such thing Dutch: you sure? Good, i prefer it this way Joe: you aint getting much further than right here John: ahh, i was kinda hoping you’d say that
