Spoilers are overrated, i played RDR2 already knowing Arthur gets TB, still enjoyed every second of it and it's for me the best story game ever, yeah it could have been a better experience, but if the quality of a story is determined solely on the end then it's certainly not a good story, it's more about the journey.

14:27 It's also really cool to note that during an NPC camp conversation hosea asks arthur how he wanted to die and he replied "facing west, watching the sunset, watching an old day end" but he actually dies facing east, watching the sunrise, watching a new day begin, representing who he was and who he has become. It's crazy how the little details come together so brilliantly.

[@salvadorhussonsotelo9263]

I thought i was the only one who remembered that conversation, when i finished the game and saw that scene was like Bro...

[@connorsucks3847]

This conversation also includes hints about hosea and Lennys deaths. Those 2 are discussing it before arthur joins and if you listen to them they will both say they want to die with their friends. After returning from Guarma we can visit their graves and they were buried side by side

[@PrestigiousConman]

Its truly a work of sublime art.

[@TamLe-vb5ig]

The thing is, he was actually buried facing west

[@thecesca]

(SPOILER WARNING) If I remember correctly Hosea, Lenny and Tilly are talking about how they want to be buried when they're gone. Hosea says that he want to be buried with friends, Lenny agrees (foreshadowing much) and then Hosea asks Arthur, which replies that he wants to be buried facing West. In the end Charles actually buries Arthur facing West, like he wanted. But the fact that he dies facing a rising sun is still incredibly poetic and beautiful.

[@asylumskp4391]

14:26 The sunrise signifies that Arthur's death started a new era, and ended the gunslinger era.

As well the prohibition age wasn’t organized crime entirely but the entire story is about organized crime & would connect GTA universe with RDR. Think moonshining route & “lawless” (w/ Tom Hardy) setting. Also forgetting the World War Jack may get to be a part of & the weapons you can use deriving from that setting. They’ve done the wild west desert and backwoods bayou, it’s time for the Appalachian country. It works perfectly for connecting the two universes & ending the two legacy titles with a 3 & 6.

@@10yearsinthejoint363 I think they're both trying to such different things that both excel where they need to. I don't know that Yakuza's dynamic action shots would fit RDR2's pared back realism and vice-versa with RDR2's very classical cinematic language. It fits with the genre it's inspired by and helps focus on the character drama rather than the surface level bombast that would hurt a game like Yakuza if included more than the crazy creative shots they have in action scenes and silly dialogues.

[@cellophaneoxygen]

lemme get this out before someone starts comparing these two, both are good in their own rights. you don't need to hate one in order to like the other.

[@beatingstuff88]

Do this gameology! let this guy watch cutscenes from yakuza!

[@celestiaaaa962]

I’m still sad they didn’t show him the “Blood Feuds, Ancient and Modern” mission or the “Fine Joys of Tobacco” mission. Those two missions we’re hella cinematic. You were like controlling a movie.

[@comradepickles7607]

Played through the game 3 times but I still teared up at the Arthur death scene in this video. That shit hits so hard. That and when he thanks his horse.

The high honour ending, Braithwaite mansion, the beginning in the snow and the scene before they halt and rob that train. Should convince you that this game is a cinematic masterpiece.

Love that scene with arthur and Milton, those last words from Milton foreshadowed a lot and you can really see his frustration as well.

[@henriquekonradt541]

It's been four years and Arthur's death still always makes me cry

[@nicoth.412]

We need a part 2 with this guy! This game has so many amazing scenes, it's impossible to put all of them into one video...

[@MythicSuns]

0:43 what adds to this scene is the fact that anyone who played the first game knows exactly what that young and innocent looking kid becomes once he grows into an adult. The Redemption games are set in a weird order in that the 2nd game is chronologically the first part of the story so for the story to make the best sense you actually have to play the second game first...that being said Rockstar kind of threw Arthur Morgan into the series out of nowhere so there is this weird disconnect where John Marston (the main character of the first game who's also a member of the Van Der Linde Gang) never mentions Arthur Morgan at all throughout the first game.

[@lordvmm6076]

Can he do this with Ghost of Tsushima!?!? He was great in this

[@corny17]

lmao William is so expressive and pretty funny 😂 cool to see a director that's not involved in the gaming industry, get so excited and joke about wanting to get into it. Hope William did actually play RDR2, and maybe even got involved in some gaming projects 😆 he got me when he said Abigail was doing the lil harlem shake with the ropes. 11:53

[@EL1TESHARK]

playing this game felt like being placed right into the middle of an old country western movie and you're the main character. i wouldn't change a damn thing about this game. a timeless masterpiece that i dont think will be topped for a very long long time. 10/10

[@kuessebrama]

Oh yes. This game really is art and no game i've every played got me so emotional as rdr2, i've never cried because of a game before but the death of the horse and the death of arthur just killed me, i had to stop for two days. Even films don't get me so hard, i really felt this game and if a game is triggering such emotions you know it is a masterpiece.

[@genericxbox360account6]

I’ll say it a billion times the little foreshadowing when Arthur explains to hosea in chapter 2 he wants to die facing the rising sun in a little camp conversation to finding out that’s how he actually dies is just pure perfection

[@David_Quinn1995]

I think RDR2s scenes are some of the best I have seen

[@acidfish322]

I Would love to see him react to scene on a train station when Arthur talks with sister, it's a slow but Soo powerfull scene

[@RyKaB17]

you should've showed him the scene with Sister Calderon, where Arthur says "I'm afraid" one of the best cutscenes in the whole game

Shoulda shown him walking from doctors to meet Sadie at the bar and the ride from the docks after guarma, the ride to camp for the final battle. So many good moments man he's gotta play the game. It's worth it. So so worth it!

[@dwarfbaby8784]

He thought red dead was PG XD

[@SmellsLikeRacing]

What's great about the camera looking-up/down at 8:11 is that it has layers. One thing is a power-play, the other thing is that the stones on the background will remind you that you have or will have a treasure map with those stones on it.

[@durgasdelight]

Awesome, William's voice is so smooth I could listen for hours. Plus you can really hear and see his love for filmmaking as an art form. I'd love to see him react to The Last of Us/2, Far Cry 4/5/6 or Life is Strange.

love this game so much, and i think part of the reason why i love it so much is because i too share a love for cinema. this game truly does an amazing job at making you feel like you’re watching a movie & feeling like you’re in the movie as well. this game has such a special place in my heart.
