Bye Bye Valentine [Red Dead Redemption 2 - Part 8]

Love how he thinks people are going to complain about him not switching horses. I don't think he realizes how attached people get to their horses in game.

My biggest gripe about RDR was the horse limit. I had a nice horse but I spent hours roping and taming wild ones for fun. I wanted to have the best horse in the game.. but I bonded with the one they gave me at the start. ❤ 🐎

[@Bosorka0]

These story-heavy, well written games combined with John's great and natural commentary with little to no editting really make an amazing combination. I'd love to see John do playthroughs of The Witcher 3 and Ghost of Tsushima especially. Seems like he'd have fun with them!

[@floatingdisembodiedhead8975]

Same, I also want him to try other Rockstar games too if he's into puzzle solving. Games like L.A Noire or RDR1 if he's interested on further lore of the Van Der Linde gang, from Marston's pov.

[@sophiag7005]

John’s escalating disbelief about the amount of brushing Victoria requires to feel her best was my personal favorite part of this episode

[@djbeema]

As an RDO veteran, the horse brushing is insane sometimes. Made me laugh

[@princessfetus]

John being nice to NPCs in the beginning and then being a little shit to them after is the funniest thing ever. 😭😭

[@ledumpsterfire6474]

"Howdy mister!" "Heya!" "How you fine folk doin?" "Doin well, thanks." "Good.. good." "..." "Your momma's so fat that, round these parts, we just call her 'AVALANCHE.' " (Gunfire ensues)

that interaction with the german family is one of my favorites. just how soft the guy talks, you can feel the genuine relief he feels. it makes me feel warm. the voice actors in this game are SO good, theyre all so fitting for the characters and they all do such an incredible job with the lines. i love this game so much

The cool thing about these ultra long videos is sometimes I can't watch all of it in one sitting, which helps to spread it out until the next one releases.

[@djbeema]

The fishing trip/sheriff assist is when Dutch is at his most likeable for me in the entire game. You get a tiny glimpse of what Dutch and Hosea might have been like together back in the old days, and it's really nice. Sadie is one of the best characters in the game, it's fun to finally go on a mission with her.

[@samwisegamgee1243]

This game’s attention to historical detail is so cool! I didn’t even notice when the Chinese railroad speakers started speaking Cantonese. It just threw me for a loop and I was like, “Wait why do I understand this, that’s not Arthur speaking.” 😂 Thanks for checking out that quest John!

[@adriells5695]

I appreciate the fact that you are taking time to look around the map. The map has so so much content that is easy to ignore or miss.

[@floatingdisembodiedhead8975]

I'm also glad that he's not TOO eager to explore the other towns aswell. Because by sticking to the town's that's related to the story, he'll be more appreciative of the vibe of the newer towns later on. These people that are too ADHD got bored of the game too quickly because they have exhausted every corner of the game before the game was meant to PRESENT it to them. Making their "exploration" more akin to window-shopping than actually taking it in and immersing themselves with it. John taking it slow and cherishing every nook and cranny of the starter towns would guarantee for him to have a lot more fun exploring the new towns. Same reason why I don't mind when open world game restricts players from accessing some part of the map until they complete a few story missions. It's a great tool that sadly people that have no patience nowadays like to look down upon.

[@toodleloos]

too excited to see john customize a gun 🤣 i feel like no one ever even knows about the customization. arthur is your cowboy barbie! and victoria is a good girl, i just appreciate you actually feed and brush your car instead of asking "why is the horse going so slow!?" when it's like starving to death lolol. man these 2hr videos just breeze by!

"I'm not trying to one hundred percent the game or anything." Nor do I recommend it. I actually just did that today. I'm not going to go into details, but it was a pain in the butt. The platinum trophy is insane too. When you beat RDR2, look up how crazy 100% is.

Favorite part of the video was John indignantly yet proudly killing those guys by the shack, thinking they were just unnecessarily defensive, then finding out they were actually bandits trying to ambush him and becoming even more proud about it. It's true, righteous violence is so satisfying in this game.

Some white ones will disappear as you finish yellow bubbles and some are time related and if you miss your chance you miss your chance. Sometimes they are dependent on the time of day/if enemies are around. But you can yes miss some missions." so yes some missions are missable

[@medb3993]

Someone’s probably already mentioned it but not all animals have perfect/ good skins, so it helps to study them with binoculars first before u hunt if u want a perfect skin.

[@coffeemode2159]

The white bubbles are optional and sometimes miss-able, so if you WANT to do them, it's better to do them first. Stuff like Karen's robbery also often doesn't show up as their initials like everything else, it'll show up as a bubble with a symbol in it for like hunting, fishing....robbery. I think that Bison hunt with Charles was one of those...but it is easier to just kind of look past them because they almost blend in with other map icons. Doing everything in this game is not easy and yeah, wouldn't recommend it. A lot of the side content is great, but there are a handful of really tedious quests that just kind of slow the game to a halt. (Stuff the like finding all the dinosaur bones) Anyways, another great upload!

also explanation of legendary animals: if you skin one, you get all the pelts required to do all of the clothing crafts, i.e. there are only 3 clothing crafts that require legendary bear pelt, so you have 3x legendary bear pelt. you cannot sell or buy more of the legendary bear pelt.

[@ArikLicholat]

A good tip that I discovered was to follow railroad tracks. If you follow main roads, they bend and wind and you have the chance to encounter strangers or random events. Those make the game more interesting, but if you're trying to get somewhere with minimal interruptions, follow railroad tracks.

[@natashathegrei3390]

Has anyone told John he can set up a tent out in the wild? John you can set up a camp of your own and cook/sleep/refresh. I don't think that's much of a spoiler.

[@lizzy6828]

A couple little tips: 1) you can just tap the weapon wheel button to holster/unholster your weapons, you really only have to go into your weapon wheel if you want to change to a different weapon, 2) you can use your binoculars to look at animals like you wanted to with that bird in the camp, 3) all animals are ranked poor (1 star), good (2 stars), or perfect (3 stars), so if you're looking for perfect pelts you have to first find an animal ranked with 3 stars (which you can see if you study them) and then kill them in the way that is recommended in their compendium info with either a shot to the head or the heart to keep the animal from losing value from a poor kill because a 3 star animal can become a 2 or 1 one star animal if you kill it wrong

[@Goatsht3423]

You can run through water to clean your horse

[@PandaEyes47]

John, when you go to brush Victoria, just press the button once. I think you're tapping it and nothing is actually registering, which is why she needs brushing all the time. Also you can't do it if you're going too fast on her.

[@Marvalous0729]

You can use Eagle Eye to find plants and also to find loot and searchable closets,chests, etc. It also comes in handy when fishing and finding legendary fish

[@littlekitsune1]

Victoria for life! Also realistically you have to take the saddle off for brushing since that's where the sweat and dirt accumulates that gets uncomfortable for them. But you never untack your horse in this so I guess just her neck gets to be pretty. XD I think you can bathe your horse when they get bloody though, by swimming them in a river.

[@NoLifeCrackHead]

I’m sure others have commented but just in case. Use your binoculars to study new animals, that info will tell you what weapon you have to use to get a perfect pelt. Once you have that, you still have to study animals you want to kill if you want to know before you do if they’re going to give you a perfect pelt or not.

[@ElizabethAftontheicecreamgirl]

Oh more red dead redemption 2 and the video was so amazing and it was enjoyable and cool john 🎉🎉🎉

[@brabbit6262]

John perfect pelt is spawn-base mechanic you need to track down the animal first (and studied it if you haven't) to see if they have 3 star. A 3 star animal means they have perfect pelt when killed unless you used extreme force to killed it you're risking damaging the pelt, make sure you use bow and arrows to kill an animal with a headshot to avoid the pelt from getting damage and for hunting smaller animals like iguana or any of that sort I recommend to use varmint rifle.

[@realsnang82]

⚠️⚠️ before you dedicate an episode to hunting, please note that a pelt quality can be determined by studying the animal before hunting. many are 1 star and not worth it ⚠️⚠️ also keep a fish or two geez

[@s0r480]

I'd love to see you play into Fallen Aces man! There's currently only one episode out, so there's not that much content but I can imagine you'd like it's style and gameplay!

[@CaffeinatedKing]

45:00 From moment one in my playthrough, the way Dutch talked always felt gross to me, people who naturally talk really well always set off my alarm bells. I think too, based on the journal stuff you've read so far, and Arthur's comments to John in the sheep mission, that Arthur is at least somewhat aware of Dutch's tricks. It's probably why he thinks so much more highly of Hosea, who comes across as much more genuine and level-headed.

[@MonaMello]

Barrel, iron sites/scope, and wrap all have benefits like accuracy and range and weapon protection!

[@LacrimosaArt]

Hey John, Each animal have thier pelt quality displayed when you aim at them in eagle view or tracking in the right down corner, boar already had one star, so it wasn't your fault. When animal have 3 stars then yes you can damge them using inaproppriate weapon or using too many bullets/arrows. I understand the confusment, ther's a lot of gameplay mechanics in this one.

[@scarymarilynn]

Hey John, if you take a little time to practice, you could get really skilled at marking ❌️ more than one enemy in deadeye mode! Try it out! Could make situations like Valentine easier to handle efficiently!

[@djbeema]

No, there are no parts of the main map that you get permanently locked out of, but as people have mentioned you can miss time sensitive missions (usually side missions). And as time passes in the game some locations do change in certain ways, in terms of people/buildings and available actions. And yes, some of the gun upgrades definitely make them better. You should immediately get rifling in the barrel of every new gun you buy, for one. Finally, said this before as others have, but pelt quality is pre-determined, doesnt matter how you get it, sometimes its just a one star. Now IF you find a 3 star and lasso, then that makes it stay a 3 star and not get lowered.

[@BazookaGamingGirl]

SPOILER: The only part that gets permanently locked after getting past it is Guarma, but I understand why you didn't mention that.

[@vina6665]

Every animal starts with different skin quality, and depending on the way you kill them it could lower the quality. So if you want a perfect quality skin you have to look for them first by aiming at the animal and see their skin quality. If it doesn't tell you that means you have to study them first

[@mikiwink]

I know you're already past vid #8 but, when riding with someone, if you go into cinematic mode right away, you may miss out on chances to target them with RB and ask questions or get additional dialog. Also, lassoing animals doesn't guarantee perfect pelts. If you observe them with binoculars and press the button to reveal info on each one, you will see the animal quality. the Perfect ones will yield perfect pelts as long you laso them (bigger game) or kill them using the specified method in their info box. (apologies if this has already been said. I'm behind on watching 😅)
