It's party time [Red Dead Redemption 2 - Part 21]

[@mattwoo556]

dont worry john ur pacing is fine for the majority of us i appreciate how u break things up into sections like having a whole vid dedicated to hunting or having a night out on the town, it makes things easier to follow

[@UnstablePax]

The 'Hunting'(/'Exploring' seems more fitting) is great for this game. RDR2 is best played slowed, which sucks for Let's plays so having those sections makes it easier for those that are just interested in the story to know what they should watch.

If a few people complain that he's going too fast, and a few complain that he's going too slow, it's a good sign that the pace is perfect for the majority.

[@BishopCheney-uc3ue]

Why is he going to slow he needs to harry up

[@reaperman111]

definitely agree, i like the variation a lot and i don't think its too slow or too fast

[@LaurenActually]

not that my opinion matters but i love the pacing of this game. it's getting me through a really difficult time in life. the 5 hour hunting video was a breath of life.

[@patricehonez]

I feel this one so much!

[@JazzTen-]

Crazy, I too was literally watching these to calm myself thru this *depression* he even gets me to chuckle alil lol

[@luke5041]

For a first playthrough this is a perfect pace, You were never going to see absolutely everything in 1 playthrough. I’ve done 4 playthroughs of this game with 500hrs played and am still finding new things, you’ve found a really good balance in my opinion.

[@normahidup]

Have you ever done 100%? If you have, is it worth it?

[@luke5041]

@normahidup I haven’t got 100% completion, I think the most I have on a save is 93% but I know what you get from completing 100% and personally it isn’t worth it. Some of the challenges (e.g. collecting all dinosaur bones and dreamcatchers) are incredibly tedious and the reward isn’t good enough to entice me.

[@normahidup]

@@luke5041 fair, it's a lot of work

[@fabiog9447]

[@sophiag7005]

I thought my favorite part was going to be John getting stuck behind his horse when trying to be an upstanding citizen by saving the robbery victim, then I thought it would be him baiting people into getting killed by cops, but it was actually when, during a harrowing ride through the city, with random bystanders dying around him, Arthur leaned forward and shoved a bunch of hay in Naomi’s mouth to calm her down. True camp

[@JohnTwolfe]

lol too many funny things you can do in this game. I've been telling my friends who haven't played that the main story is great and all, but the game truly shines during the mundane in-between moments out in the open world

[@GolemCC]

@@JohnTwolfe Yeah, 100%. I think that's why it's nice you're taking your time through the game. Your reaction to major plot beats has been fun to witness, but nothing beats the wild police chases or the pure vengeance unleashed when some random nobody crosses you and leaves a rude word.

[@uneasyspider]

John, get Arthur thoroughly drunk, and interact with friends, strangers, but especially DOGS and CATS. Have fun!

[@girlpaintsworld]

I’m so glad you finally investigated the murder-suicide house!! I commented about it in a previous video and was itching for you to go inside ever since. So many things like that to find in this game which is why I really love how much you explore. It makes it a more immersive experience for us too ⭐️ People who complain about the pacing are the ones who want you to just play the main story instead of having some fun for yourself too. I am loving the pacing and even if this playthrough takes 50 videos to finish, I will watch every single one. I watch all of these videos multiple times while I wait for a new one to be posted!

[@harukahoshino]

I love the pacing, enough main quests and exploring in each episode. RDR2 is a tough game to balance and you've managed to do it, you're playthrough's been my favorite.

[@ssss-rt5qu]

At that big house in emerald ranch you can see the owner's daughter in the window at some time of the day. He keeps her locked in and doesn't allow anyone near his house. Hence his behavior towards Arthur. There's an interesting backstory to this.

[@maskedmisfit364]

Damn John beating the poor kid and taking his cards and candy. Minus cowboy.😅

[@EissaDelRey]

Your pacing and the way you're exploring every part of this game is what I love about this playthrough!!

[@Fall_1n1]

If you're curious about the Vampire thing, there's more clues with writings scattered around Saint Denis. If Arthur finds them (There's 5 I believe), and you go to Saint Denis at night, you will find something marked on your map and you can go investigate it.

[@Fall_1n1]

@KitsuneNoMaboroshi Mhm, this one happens between 12 and 1, not 3

[@siobhan_is_on]

Wow, can't believe my daily check in to see if John posted the next part of RDR2 happened right when this was posted!

[@mika7072]

This entire series deserves so many views... I've been enjoying every single moment :)

[@amodelmannequin]

John, if you're having fun and like the gang then you're going at the right pace. Also "Grim"shaw, indeed lmao

[@Helena-Van-Troje]

I just finished part 20 yesterday. I was asking myself what I should watch this evening and a new episode dropped. Thanks John. I like your pacing and I do love the hunting episodes even if the animals are never around when you need them. I do enjoy the stories that you tell about your encounters with wild animals. I live in Belgium and the most interesting wild animal you can encounter over here are foxes. If a wolf casually strolling through Western Europe crosses our borders it is in the news on national television. It is wild to me that you've encountered a bison.

Seriously love these. This kind of game is really so enjoyable to watch and your pace is excellent! However you play it is great with the majority of us!

[@AbbaJoe26]

Love the smile at the start of every Red Dead video on John's face. 20 videos in, and still having fun with it. It's great to see. Love ya, John. You kick ass. heh And when your spiderman misses a roof, or the wagon gets stuck on a roadsign at a emotional plot point, your EZ Small great timing is showing. You are good at content. heh It's all in the bechuckles reaction you have to things going awry, that makes those moments better than just normal clean gameplay, but not contrived like so many "screw up on purpose" youtubers. You are top tier sir. :)

[@donna3290]

I love this playthrough (one of my favorites now), and your pacing is perfect. Some people need to remember it's almost impossible to see everything in a first-time playthrough without spoilers. Now for some more +🤠!

[@thecatlady4405]

Your pacing is perfect. You aren't making everything dramatic for KZbin. Yours is the only playthough of this game I've been able to watch because you play naturally. I love it.

[@anacsadder]

1:44:49 Lol, you really broke into his house, beat him up, and took his trading cards. I didn't know Arthur was a YuGiOh villain XD

[@AbbaJoe26]

Oh, and good lord, don't let anyone rush your playthroughs, John. All the good stuff is the in-between you find and make out of the moments and the everything. Low-key chill but clever and fun and funny. Sincerely. I did the hunting stuff in RDR1, but thought I'd be board watching it on a youtube video, but you make every twist and turn as good as any in-game content. Loving your detours, that's "main game" to many of us viewers. :)

Howdy John. I got a new cat today John. So me and Ginger will be enjoying this new video.

no yeah i love the pacing of your playthrough, i love you do a couple of story missions, get suckered into some story missions 😂, do side quests, and then just a whole bunch of hours doing everything else. i think thats the perfect pace to play. and even tho theres a couple of ppl you havent met that i really hope you get to run into, idk does anyone ever really see EVERYTHING on the first playthrough?? anyway, you have a ton of time at that. still a bunch to explore and a bunch to see so! im enjoying myself and thats what matters 😂 and that you're having fun, more importantly!

[@RachelKermit]

i´ve been loving this playthrough and will be sad when it is over. The pacing for me is perfect! We get a bit of it all. Story, side quests and some exploring. Not to forget some great jokes.

[@kittyetheridge9899]

There are a lot of secrets in the game, but it's your playthrough and as it's your first time playing the game you should be able to go at your own pace. Personally I'm really enjoying this playthrough. I think your commentary is brilliant and I like your sense of humour.

[@AbbaJoe26]

Look at that tail goin on that doggie! :) (where delivering to Seamus) Now that's good video game design. Pat the doggie, tail speeds up. That's just good gaming. :) Glad you take time to pat the doggies John. Makes things even better.

[@TnrOfficial-1]

The pacing you're doing is fine John! I'm honestly just enjoying you exploring around the world and doing fun quests instead of just speeding through the main story lol

[@H0TR0B]

Pacing is great! RDR2 is meant to be enjoyed slowly, I think. Sometimes you smash through main and side quests and get into hundred-man gunfights, and other times you just potter about up in the mountains, picking flowers and hunting game. The game is at its best when it has that contrast; grilling meat and sipping coffee in the woods is a nice change of pace from Dutch's pontificating, and vice versa.

The random cut in of the fail screen in the rob coach mission with the "Sheamus was abandoned" message, I was SO CONFUSED 😭 For a second there I felt like the game was gaslighting me with some character from camp I didn't remember you were supposed to be on the mission with or something, I'm so glad John was equally confused (the solidarity I felt when John too could only stare in perplexed silence and ask who Sheamus was) and looked it up. It was cool that Tilly was missing from camp for a reason and John noticed it!! I like how they thread in the camp people's side missions. I guess it's possible to never rescue Tilly from them, which is really creepy considering how angry that guy was with her and how horrible Tilly and Grimshaw were implying they treated her (like the idea of either Tilly just vanishing forever from camp without explanation if you never trigger that mission, or if enough time passes that the game acknowledges it with other characters commenting on it or being able to find Tilly's body at that house or something, creeps me out). Favorite moments hands-down were John's shocked giggles at Grimshaw's bloodthirstiness, him reading the Charles letter, and the affronted way he said "I threw you over a WATERFALL." (fingers crossed John keeps murdering him and running across him perfectly alive again the next day. like Kenny)

[@Yvesenjoyer666]

Most people have no idea one fact about this game and the way it was developed. The pacing is the biggest "choice " you make in this RPG, and that choice is all yours Jhon. My self personally, I uncovered all available areas in the map, and Trapper items before I collected from The Downes family. Also people have no idea you can opt, Easy/Normal/Hard/EXPERT on the story mode by not using tonics or deadeye, and getting gold medals for each missions (listed in the progress menu) Regardless I'm enjoying this playthrough too much..

[@Argacyan]

Every single scene with native americans and Dutch at the same time is going to be interesting thinking about RDR1.

[@SNP80]

Your pace is great. You’re checking out a ton of side things and have seen enough of what the game is about. Some things can be tedious to max out fully and not fun for someone who just wants to play for fun but also catch most of the storyline. When your gang has item requests and you fulfill them, there’s a pretty regular glitch that if you try to give them the item while that character is sitting or performing some kind of chore that it won’t show the animation or have their little cutscene. Which I think is what happened when you tried to give Tilly her item at the end of her talk with Karen. You should still get the rewards from it just fine, but it can be annoying. When you go the party as Arthur there’s a ton of people you can talk to or listen to before going to the fountain. It’s good you helped Algie (lol), I think he’s optional and after saving him, you unlocked someone who you can do item requests for if you feel like it. I think it’s possible to accidentally miss a few of the Native American missions. Like the one you ended on with the ? Even though it’s yellow. I’m sure you’ve been wondering about that reserve you visited an episode back as to why it’s in the game and their storylines are obviously compelling and interesting. I also thought Evelyn Miller was a woman in my first gameplay. Wasn’t expecting him to show up at all but it’s definitely intriguing considering how much Dutch looks up to him and his writings.
