Finally, I'm a real rancher [Red Dead Redemption 2 - Part 35]

[@Osprey.]

Robbing Pearson right after the reunion and all the 'staying out if trouble' talk is actually so diabolical 😂

[@vdotcdot]

I’ve watched 35 episodes (happily) of this playthrough. I 100% want to watch you grind out the 100% completion lol.

[@magalieg273]

Idea for a side stuff video: try to find all the graves of the deceased gang members. They're either around the camp they were in when they died, or around where they died. There's Arthur, Grimshaw, Eagle Flies, Sean, Lenny, Hosea, Davey and Jenny.

[@djbeema]

Did that when attempting to get the platinum. Some are suuuper hard to find

[@floatingdisembodiedhead8975]

Damn, I didn't notice Eagle Flies was dead. I thought he was just hurt when Arthur left him with his dad.

[@anacsadder]

"I have done something foolish trying to impress you." You know, I miss Arthur, but John has his own charm sometimes.

[@JWildberry]

Arthur has that natural charisma, and John has zero. He's so damn awkward, and I love it.

[@xvromo1362]

The house building mission so peak lol

[@H0TR0B]

🎵🎶🎵Well, let me have a rule and a saw and a board and I'll cut it I’ll climb up a ladder with a hammer and a nail, I'll nail it Well, we worked so hard to build a little house together In the snow or the rain or the ice cold wind, whenever🎶🎵🎶

[@CaffeinatedKing]

I would understand if you want a break from RDR for awhile, but i would be thrilled to watch you go straight into RDR1 after you're done with this game, I think playing them in reverse order will be a really fascinating narrative experience for you. Especially now that it's finally out on PC and seems to be a pretty okay port.

[@SeaFoamStrat]

Definitely record yourself doing the challenges. I've been loving this playthrough; the more, the better!

[@fractiousjope]

If you feel up for it I would love to see all the challenges being completed, regardless of however repetitous it may become.

[@luke5041]

At last, the adventures of John and John return!

[@djbeema]

That house-building montage is one of my favorite things in the entire game. Just so endearing. Glad you enjoyed it so much as well. That song pops into my head now and then 😅 I can’t believe you robbed Pearson after his interaction finally worked!!😢 Serves you right that it didn’t count for the challenge 😂 So messed up “It’s so great to see you after all these years! Alright hands up or die!” 🤣

[@Jam-n9p]

I'd love watching the 100% completion but it does take FOREVER. I'm super glad you finally got the interaction at the Annesburg train station.

[@scarlettspencers2816]

OMG! Thank you for the upload today John!! I’ve been checking everyday to see if you had uploaded a rdr2 video lol 😂 ❤

[@cheepytiger]

Yay! The House Building theme and the A Quiet Time mission theme are probably my favourite light hearted tunes from the game. Seeing the little bird hop around and watch made me tear up. I sometimes find myself singing the house building one randomly xD such a wholesome sequence.

[@bugdomrulez]

i love how blunt marston is. with uncle, arthur would probably say something sharp about how lazy he is, john just straight up is like "you're very annoying." its so fun edit: oop john said the same thing i did LMFAO

[@floatingdisembodiedhead8975]

Arthur doesn't need to be blunt. Remember when he kicked Uncle when was sleeping next to the wagon lol he didn't need to say anything at all.

[@klaudia3502]

Bruh this pearson bug is such a bummer! I didn't realise the pc version had so many immersion breaking glitches

[@sophiewood]

mine is the exact same on ps4… although it lets me rob him without consequences so idk what that’s about

[@klaudia3502]

@sophiewood oh ok then maybe it's not the port's issue. I didn't have this issue on xbox one

[@BoneStack117]

I didn't have any of the issues John has run into on PC.

[@InsaneEmoWolf75]

it's because john has a bounty

[@sophiewood]

@@InsaneEmoWolf75 mine doesn’t lol

[@madalynn2533]

That bird hanging out and watching you build the house is Arthur 😭

[@snowblind9551]

34:34 It's theorized that the blue jay is meant to represent Arthur watching over John

[@oreoorva]

That's adorable 🥹🥲

[@Emily-xk2du]

Probably still making snarky comments about how John's doing it too, in a tiny tiny squeaky version of his normal "gruff cowboy" voice 🤠

[@ESPLTD782]

I’ll watch any video you do of this game. Main story. Side stuff. It’s peak content

[@HeartlessSora]

I for sure missed John robbing Pearson in the last episodes, but just John saying "Pearson, we were outlaws, I'm real annoyed of this bs" is comedy gold

[@BannockMeatball]

Spawn camped this notification shamelessly

[@ChaserBD04]

Same.

[@InsomniaYoutube-wz1ju]

Have been for days 🤣

[@mandem612]

I have sunk 100+ hours into your rdr2 play through. It would be a massive bummer to not be able to see EVERYTHING. You are the only streamer I have seen do this game justice.

[@raengil_]

I wouldn't mind watching you complete the challenges as I love this playthrough so much, but I realise that recording all of them would be a lot. I think more importantly I'd love to see you solve the treasure maps! And find the rock carvings, dreamcatchers and dinosaur bones; no shame in looking their locations up, that's what I did too... But I think they are a nice way to explore the map more and appreciate all the details :) Oh and definitely find the graves too! I always visit Hosea and Lenny whenever I'm nearby since they're in a convenient location :D And Arthur and Susan have amazing views from their resting places, Charles did an awesome job.

[@Daffelia_1]

The scene where they're building the house is insanely cute

[@hollielouise3391]

I think the die hard playthrough fans would definitely like a grinding episode! Weird funny situations still make them entertaining :)

[@Gabby-xr2bc]

When you picked up the rancher's hat and didn't notice until after the haircut... l was cracking up once you realized hahaha

[@Chaosmarine-d1g]

Been watching and rewatching the series and loving it, keep going JOAHN😅

[@princessfetus]

mr black and mr white are kind of a cute couple

[@Avertigog]

46:38 "You're the one who got confused because of a bush, Sadie!" 😂😂😂

[@uneasyspider]

55:24 Sadie’s themesong(?) is a BOP. We heard it with the last bounty in the canyon. Really good gunfight music, when with Sadie.

[@AbbaJoe26]

Exactly, John. This game may look amazing, but the true accomplishment, rarity of this game, is the sheer amount.....of variously located, unique, full effort high-quality voice acted.....not once does it break suspendion of disbelief with any marginal voice type cast or voice quality performed. And my god the amount of writing that had to be required...for the sheer volume of different individuals you can stumble across all over the map in the game (not even related to propelling a story forward). That alone, itself, makes this games claim to stand in limited company atop the list of open world games/genre. And I don't make such high claims about anything lightly, or often (like John, I tend to call things out when they have bad stuff in them, but this game is very hard to say such about much, in it)

[@uneasyspider]

John, 33:51 look for the small blue bird on the lumber. Follow along this cut scene, and keep your eyes looking for the bird. Then, come up with your own theories on what you saw, and please let us know.

[@oreoorva]

I imagined Arthur watching John rob Pearson 😂😂😂😂 "That's Ma Boi"

[@AbbaJoe26]

"You see.....what we've got here.....is a Trust issue." lol lol I swear.....Sadie's dialogue style....I swear I hear John Wolfe's voice saying her words. She's so John commentary style. :) :)

[@george_yassington]

I firmly believe that the little birdy watching while they build is Arthur. Edit: I just wanna say I would do anything for more red dead content from you! It was so much fun to experience this game with you. Your playthrough is fantastic

[@Yvesenjoyer666]

Another banger ep, it was pretty fun watching you complete the challenges, so ill happily watch you complete some more! the bandit ones were hilarious, with how you were camping near the coach fence, and the guys like yeah seems about right nothing suspicious, good business friend🤠👍

[@ChupChup91]

If I remember right, you still have horseman 4 (?) to do/drag someone with a lasso 3300 feet; You can finish it by lassoing the racist in St Denis because nobody will stop you harming him and you dont lose honor. I wouldnt mind watching you finish the challenges but they do take some time and i wont blame you for not 100% the game :)

[@fabiog9447]

I've been camping on your videos waiting for this one... now i'm addicted to both Red Dead and Astrobot 😂

[@floatingdisembodiedhead8975]

I forgot how wholesome that housebuilding scene was lol especially with that jaunty tune playing. Also Uncle trying to waltz with Charles and he just stares at him dead in the eyes 🤣 it also reminds me of why i always love Marston. It's because he's a family man. We don't get a lot of family men here on Rockstar games lol but John Marston is as good a family man as any, despite his shortcomings.

[@wildboar67]

2:22:00 : the amount Seamus gives you for each coach you rob depends on the type of coach you steal + its condition. So, he will pay less for a wooden wagon and more for a fancy carriage from Saint Denis, for example.

[@Cuddly_CatLady]

i was away for a week and half recently without my tv and knew a small screen would not so it justice so i waited watching these last 3 parts back to back was so much fun also if you want to do more of the challenges then I'm all for it, the longer we get RDR2 the better i say, i wouldn't even mind of its cut down a bit like in this part, it actually made it funnier to me

[@jellylorum]

When I first finished the main game I needed about six months before I felt like giving the epilogue a chance. Speaks for the game that you get that attached to Arthur. Make sure to enjoy it though and also visit the old camps and maybe look for Arthur's grave, too. There is still a lot to discover in the epilogue :)

[@clayhair]

This episode was so fun lol. Love watching the challenges bc I’m too lazy to do them all myself. Also the house building mission 🥹💕 I think they’re great, but maybe you can just put time stamps on the screen for people who aren’t interested in watching the challenges? It’s nice and relaxing content for just chilling out & listening to your commentary/stories. :)

[@JWildberry]

I'll love to watch you do challenges! It's chill time.

[@liio415]

I feel so bad for John desperately looking for any semblance of Arthur in the epilogue. You can tell how much he misses him. It reminded me of how it was when my grandma died, I would ask about her to all her friends and the rest of my family, hoping to fill the void left by her absence with knowledge

[@AbbaJoe26]

God! That fist fight against three attackers (while escorting the writer)......damn, John, the dodge and strikes pacing was so perfect, it was like watching your Spider Man 2 playthrough again. :)

[@RachelKermit]

i actually enjoy seeing you do these challenges!

[@littlekitsune1]

I really wouldn't mind you doing the challenges on video if they're edited down somewhat, like what you did with the horse fence challenge in this video

[@PSNRainOverThin]

"HHHOOKAYYYY RIP VAN *WINKLE* "

[@sophiewood]

lol apparently “pongo” is a derogatory term used towards low rank members of the british army… must be why

[@anacsadder]

The first hit when I Googled "pongo profanity" was someone 5 months ago on the Red Dead 2 subreddit that tried to name their dalmatian-esque horse after the Disney dog and ran into the same issue. Funny coincidence.

[@yutodsynp]

I deadass would love to watch you 100% all of the challenges

[@AbbaJoe26]

:) :) Awwwww, I hadn't scene that house building sequence ever. That really was a good bit. A nice counter balance to all the games blood and death and dark stuff. A nice, heartfelt, honest good sequence. Bravo to the game makers for having more than a few gears, few-trick-pony to their writing and tone and directing of the game content and pacing. They commited a long sequence to it. (rightly so, for how much it took to build a home back then) :)

[@caitlinreuterskiold5828]

Omg John sat on that chair using the Riker technique 😂

[@Jam-n9p]

John don't sell the copies of your cigarette cards, the max is 5 and the game HAS to give you a different card once you have a max amount of one. It'll make the process of purchasing cigarette cards way quicker the more copies you have.

[@sophiag7005]

RDR2 one of the rare AAA game of the year contenders where being outraged about wearing the wrong hat makes total sense and is in fact morally justified

[@mikenzieogburn8813]

This is probably the funniest episode. John, and John, are menaces 😂 I can’t believe John went ahead and robbed Pearson, robbed the coach that the guy was nice. -cowboy! But +cowboy for the funny video. And the wagons pay is probably determined by the cargo of the wagon And I’d love to watch the challenges! Either video or stream

[@tinytulpa]

I also named one of my horses after 101 Dalmatians lol, named her Perdita (Perdy) because she looks like a Dalmatian

[@maxgeorge3735]

rdr2 having a profanity check is hilarious in my opinion they use every cussword throughout the entire game and Pongo how is that profanity 😂

[@djbeema]

I’m guessing the system is shared between story and online is why

[@Cheddarhead7]

Not sure if it's ever said in game but it's impossible to successfully rob people on horseback using a revolver, you have to point a long-arm weapon at them or they'll just shoot you

[@nesbech6189]

I’m replaying the game right now myself, and when I got to Pearson here in the epilogue he just completely ignored me, like he did for you. There’s supposed to be a big heart filled reunion between them, so its a bit of a shame. Never had this glitch before now

[@nesbech6189]

Glad you got to see the real cutscene though

[@AbbaJoe26]

Honestly, John if you record doing the challenges, a lot of the fun of your playthroughs are "surprising things that happen along the way" since it never goes exactly to plan. So I don't think it will bore (very many) folks currently along for the ride, to see you do the challenges. If you look back over it and sense it went too cookie cutter repetitious, you could do some easy cuts to knock it down by half, no need for lots of editing effort. But honestly, posting them as is full, might be pretty fun. A lot of the game's gameplay is repetitious anyway, like the hunting animals, but the actual *doing* of it....always ends up a wild ride. :)

As for challenges, I’m down for anything you do in this game. Maybe to keep it from being repetitive, just allot a certain amount of time per episode that you do challenges in? Idk. I’m sure some people would get annoyed, but reading the comments it seems most feel as I do that they will be up for watching anything you do in this game.

[@cheepytiger]

I'm pretty sure Pearson is supposed to acknowledge that it's John and interact with you, from what I remember. It's a shame the PC port seems so buggy! 😭 EDIT: Skipped ahead to check, glad it worked when you went back :D

I don't think the PC port is usually buggy, it's a pretty good port, John's just had bad luck. At least my two play throughs have had no issues

[@maxgeorge3735]

just a heads up you probably won't read this but if you go to armadillo and Rob people there it's really easy to complete the challenge no one fights back

[@Emily-xk2du]

(Longggg comment that's all over the place, also spoilers) Aww man, that Pearson bug was unfortunate. Sucks that it ruined the moment like that! Last episode was so cursed, it's still lingering! :( It's especially unfortunate because I agree with what John said about the random encounters in this game after the campfire fort guy, it breathes a lot of life and personality into the world to have them and really elevates the experience, so having such a meaningful "random encounter" (or I guess just little surprise meeting in case you stumble across him, in this case) glitched out and unsatisfying when you first come across it stinks. But ah well, just to reiterate, I really do enjoy the random encounters and feel like they add a lot of nice spice to the world, since I was mixing my compliment in with a gripe haha. The sequence of putting the house up really was nice, I think it was my favorite part of the video! :) It did make me think wistfully about Arthur and the others being around to help Johnny M, though... John's letter to Abigail was sweet but made me sad with Johnny M's voice acting when he said, "But I am trying, very hard, to be something like, the man you deserve. I have done something, very silly, in an effort, to impress you!" (You can hear how carefully he's picking his words as he's writing because he knows this letter is his only shot at getting her back.) And speaking of voice acting, omg Ramon's VA is super hammy lol. ROBBING POOR PEARSON FOR NAUGHHHHHT NOOOO. I do like the story idea of John using Johnny M time to do all the crimes he really didn't do as Arthur and tanking his honor; it feels like Marston "falling off the wagon", so to speak, without Abigail and Jack, and back together with old outlaw friends, and getting desperate enough to finance the ranch meant to bring his family back together by any means possible (and being an outlaw has gotten him the most money consistently, so...) I think my other favorite part of this episode was the wagon and horse-stealing sections, John was so sassy. (Fave parts from that part: "Why are you talkin to me like I'M Clive?! He was talkin to me like *I* was gonna do it!!" He really was 😭, John chanting "EM-ERALD RANCH, EM-ERALD RANCH, EM-ERALD RANCH! YEAHHHHHH!" made me cackle, and "You are... a man of mystery. I don't understand what your standards are for this crap.") 2:11:32 remember, this is what Rains Fall saw him do right in front of him before they talked lol. Rains being a bro and giving John a little Plus Cowboy to make up for how much he lost in this episode, good guy. (Good to know he's still alive and remembers Arthur fondly, but man, poor fella.) So glad John decided to take the American Paint for himself, I liked her the minute I saw her too

[@mikari3498]

The return!!! 🥺

[@pancakeclaper1021]

I know you're probably finished by the time you read this, but I just wanted to let you know that Johns honor doesn't affect anything except for the usual shop bonuses, although it does change Arthur's dialogue mostly in chapter 6. Oh and there's no real reward for 100%

[@normahidup]

I don't know why your game is so buggy, John. I've not had any problem playing this game, only little glitches here and there, nothing significant. Hopefully, you won't get any more of those when you meet other important NPCs. Thanks for the new RDR2 uploads, and sorry that some people are so impatient with this stuff.

[@ChaserBD04]

I've always recommended people play RDR1 first before RDR2, even though 2 is a prequel. John, I understand your frustration with the epilogue, but the epilogue is a HUGE payoff for fans of RDR1. I loved 1, and then played 2, and was kind of bummed to go back as Marston, but still, he was like a warm blanket. Nice to have around. And nice to see the payoff that proceeds RDR1. I hope you play RDR1, and then if you decide to try and 100% in your own time for either game, there are definitely a lot of resources out there to help you do it. Both games have their own niche; I would say 1 feels a lot like early GTA, more like arcade style, but the story is still fantastic, and Marston is just a complete badass. Your Pearson thing was just completely glitched... lol That's unfortunate. Hilarious that it popped off during a gun fight outside. And even more hilarious that you robbed him. AND that it didn't count. LMAO. That whole sequence was just... fantastic.
