This Game is a Certified Western CLASSIC! | Neversoft's GUN

[@APeelingG]

This game taught me that the 100% guaranteed way to win at poker is to just bet as high as you can and force everyone else to fold ;) eventually their wallets run out from the antes

[@EvanHelblingYT]

Haha I actually spent an hour doing that and forgot to include it tbh

[@neonblud9595]

lol fr even in RDR

[@JWS1985]

Lol

[@WanderlustZero]

If you told me you'd gotten Thomas Jane, Brad Dourif, Ron Perlman and Lance goddamn Henrikssen into the same game... :o

[@11135_]

The most original title to a game

[@EvanHelblingYT]

a very deep, thought provoking title

[@Rabbit-o-witz]

They were supposed to make an RPG named SWORD but it got cancelled

[@Rabbit-o-witz]

Still better than Disney's Cars tho

[@SuperCakeKing]

almost as good as pong, or doom, or asteroids, or rampage, or mafia, or scorn

[@doublem1975x]

Short and sweet.

[@kalkella8822]

They didn't even let you scalp people in Red Dead Redemption 2. That's how big this game's balls were.

[@vb_blokeboi7251]

Man this game had an insane cast of actors, such a gem

[@homeygfunkoffacherryfruitl4971]

Just a point of contention at about 12:23, Clay didn't say he stood up to Macgruder. He says "If only I'd stood up to him like Ned" so he's lamenting the fact he didn't.

[@EvanHelblingYT]

Thanks for pointing that out, I kept watching that clip but never fully heard him. Makes way more sense

[@heli0s101]

I moved from the US to Europe in the mid 2000s. My Xbox 360 was NTSC, and all the European games were PAL so they weren't compatible. The only game I ever saw on a shelf that was marked NTSC was this one - and I played it so much. Love seeing Gun content.

[@ManoloRibera070]

aaaaaaaah the good old era of NTSC and PAL. I was born in europe but emigrated to south america. All my PAL stuff did not work, and even on the TVs if it worked and I was lucky, black and white. Good times.

[@MrMoros1]

Always good to see a video reminding the world this game existed, it was Red Dead Redemption before Red Dead Redemption even existed, deserves SO much more credit than it gets. I swear a remake of it with modern hardware and some expansions on in-game material would make it a damn blockbuster of a game.

[@UfsSnake]

It was red dead revolver on PS2 who was pretty bad, and actually I prefer this game than rdr 1 whose just sent you find a guy for all the game but with good graphics and a horse

[@UndividedSilver]

Loved this trip down the wild west lane. I was on the edge of my seat waiting for you to say "Comment down below if your a horse"

[@EvanHelblingYT]

Thankyou daddio, and damn man I missed out on a golden opportunity 🥲

[@cabbage826]

It's worse if you own a horse ngl.

[@loneronin6813]

I must have played through this game at least ten times in a row when it first came out. I still say it's one of the best western-style games out there. My favorite line from the whole game is when you kill Hoodoo. Hoodoo: "I'M HOODOO BROWN!!!" Colt: "You were." (Fun fact: Hoodoo Brown was a real person, believe it or not. Gun has a few characters that were pulled from history.)

[@sadscientisthououinkyouma1867]

It laid the groundwork for Red Dead Redemption, and to top it off the game has among the best voice acting in any game mainly because they assembled an proven veteran cast of western actors. Also being made by people who had no experience in this game genre (or setting) makes the game far more impressive. It is to me such an tragic waste that Activision (I think they are the IP holders) refuse to do anything with the Gun IP. There are very few western games and ALL OF THEM sell like hotcakes, people yearn for the American myth and in terms of market share, Gun and Red Dead do not compete with each other. Gun is an spaghetti western of the most absurd variety, while Red Dead is an strange fusion of the more serious western with the spaghetti western creating both constituting its highest and lowest points.

[@loneronin6813]

@@sadscientisthououinkyouma1867 You make excellent points that I definitely agree with, especially in regards to Activision not doing anything with the Gun IP as I would love to see more from it and its world. I'm not big on most shooters, but I love western-style games so I completely understand what you mean and it really is a shame that not many games are out there in the genre.

"Like fresh bread. So I said, you're toast!" I may have botched the exact wording, but like so many of your analogies, that was hilarious.

[@EvanHelblingYT]

hahaha luckily I was so proud of that little combo, thanks dude

[@companylovesmisery1463]

No problem dude. I came to your channel because of the Darkwatch video- I miss that game so much, it's not backwards compatible on a 360 and it's not on Steam- and the "I had to hold it down like my neighbor's head in a bathtub" had me in stitches. Soul Calibur 2 and Metal Arms: Glitch in the System are the only old Xbox games I still have, because they still work on my ancient 360. I miss Alter Echo and Turok: Evolution for the original Xbox too. Did you play any of those?

[@manuelacosta9463]

This is an epic classic. Still have it on OG XBOX alongside the PSP Showdown version, it's a shame we never got a follow up. As a kid I imagined it would be a prequel following Clay's exploits in the Civil War, his break with Magruder and ending with meeting Colton to continue the resistance. Still, what we got is timeless and they sure do not make them like this anymore.

I was in a group home in 2006 and some kid cut the parental advisory out and taped an "E for everyone" on it instead and snuck it in that way after a weekend visit. This was the best thing we had there... After I aged out I went and bought this right away... I'm sure the red dead redemption team took notes because red dead revolver had nothing on this game. I never noticed the A list actor cast list as a kid. I knew those voices seemed familiar during the video. WOW this game really was ahead of its time and competition.

I see this channel skyrocketing. Your videos bring back so much nostalgia for me while your commentary, jokes, use of sound bits from beloved games and pop culture keep this super fresh and entertaining. I like that you do a variety of PS2 games and I hope you continue to bring light on other classics like Jak and Daxter, Ace Combat, Metal Gear Solid and others. Even my fiancee, who grew up with no games of any kind, enjoyed the Harry Potter Chamber of Secrets video (please do Prisoner of Azkaban).

Its great to see this forgotten gem getting some well deserved attention lately! It's still a great game that deserves both a sequel and a remaster.
