Rdr1 has a better story and characters while also focusing more on survival mechanics, hunting, collecting herbs, etc. I think gta has a better traversal system and is more fun because there's no moral dilemma of killing innocence and causing havoc

Besides GTA 4 there's no other GTA better than rdr1 and 2, those who say that GTA 5 is better are probably 12 years old kids who don't even know about the western genre and don't even want to give it a try because they don't have mobile phones or cars in red dead...but it's incomparable riding a horse throughout a beautiful landscape with driving a car through an American metropolis, and I'm not saying that GTA 5 (story mode) is a bad game, it's just that is very overrated, and when it's about GTAO things are a lot worse

In regard to the crows. Crows in film and literature are common symbols for death. Not only is their appearance sinister, but they are also common carrion eaters and will frequently pick at any dead animal, humans included. Crows particularly like to eat the eyes out of dead creatures. They became common symbols for death and danger and no where else is that more common in westerns. The perched crows on the grave represent the death of the gang and it’s members. The crows perched at the fort in the first game are simply a visual representation of the danger John is walking into. If the crows are already nesting there in numbers then it means there’s a steady supply of food for them (ie dead bodies)

I love the conversation between the old women after playing the second game. Dutch in the second game is constantly trying to spin the public into sheep following a corrupt government, unaware that they're going into the slaughterhouse. However, the first thing we see in the first game is the two women talking about how corrupt the political scene is, immedietly showing us that the world Dutch was trying to sell isn't representative off how things are. I also think the pastor saying that Jenny need only to come to him is also a reflection of Dutch. They both present themselves as moral arbitors, despite both being wrong. Sets up the themes in the first game about Dutch and Ross being very similar pretty well.

There's so much heart in RDR that it pains me to think that RDR2 is likely the last title Rockstar will produce with any real soul to it. Obviously GT6 hasn't been released yet, and for sure there's every chance that game's story might have some real heart to it. But GTA Online set such a horrible precedent in terms of what's most profitable that my hopes are not high and I sincerely believe that we've seen the last of R*'s genuine storytelling at least as far as original stories go.

Tbh I think GTA Online just didn’t have the same level of writers for it. Because while yes it was the money maker, they knew that no matter what the story was people would play it. But even GTA5 story is very well done, I think it’s probably just below GTA4 with the red dead games on top. But it’s still very clear with Red Dead 2 that at least for that game they still cooked up one of the best games of all time with one of the best stories. So I don’t think we should lack faith, because the same people who wrote GTA 5 wrote Red Dead 2. Two completely different types of stories.

Fun fact: you can encounter a man who took part in the massacre of the Wapiti Tribe in chapter 2 of the second game. He can be found in a random camp encounter, east of Valentine out in the plains, or at least that's where I found him. He goes into some detail about the conditions of the camp and the things the soldiers did, which I found absolutely fascinating because I think he's actually the only living witness to the atrocity you can find anywhere in the game... Everyone else is either long dead, or understandably doesn't feel a massive urge to come out and confess what happened and what they did. At the end of the encounter he fades off to sleep in a drunken stupor, I assume this is the part where many would kill him for what he did, but I just walked away, he wasn't at fault for what happened, and leaving him with the guilt and the memories is a far more fitting punishment... If he were awake, he'd probably want you to put him out of his misery. Which is exactly why I didn't.

Another detajl is I think he may have not been present during the beachers Hope raid. There is an agent standing in the firing squad outside rhe barn that is wearing a similar suit but its not 100% clear if it is him or not so depending on the facts there He might have even objected to the plan and staged out of it.

As far as I'm concerned, the most compelling connection between one and two is when Ross and Milton confront Arthur while he's fishing with Jack. Ross says 'enjoy your fishing, kid, while you still can'. 15 years later, that same kid shoots Ross dead while he himself is fishing.
@BrinkPink4 ай бұрын
I agree with you, them meeting up at a river is awesome, but sadly the fishing part is a minconception, Ross isnt fishing, hes in fact shooting quail... Which is something John told his son, Jack theyd do in the coming season, just as Edgar Ross and an army arrives at Beecher's Hope during the end of RDR1... Ross is also, horrible at shooting quail. Essentially Ross is literally doing (poorly) something you were supposed to do with your father, he even robbed you of that the bastard.

In my opinion, Jenny's quote about not knowing the difference between a loving act and a hateful act is a testament to her innocence, naivety, and lack of real world experience. We learn how naïve and sheltered she truly is later on as she believes she can survive in the desert with no food or water on God's faith alone. She has never experienced true hate or evil, or the realities of danger and the harshness of nature and survival. She is a simple religious girl of the Church, who likely grew up sheltered under the close watch of her parents and the Church administration. She may hear of and read of bad things that occur in the world but has no concept of them, or experience of bad and hateful things being done to her. In contrast, that is all John has ever known. He has seen evil and been evil himself many times throughout much of his life. He knows what humans and the natural world itself are capable of. To hear such a naive quote must make his eyes roll, because he surely can differentiate between evil and hateful actions, and love and good actions. Of course there are instances where these lines become blurred, and revenge can be pursued from a place of hate towards the instigator and love for those who suffered at their hands, but these are specific instances. Generally, John could very easily tell Jenny what the difference is between hate and love, and what hateful people are truly capable of.

My only regret regarding RDR2 is that we never got an option to have an alternative timeliness, based on personal choices presented in the game in certain sections, that allowed Arthur to survive, even with TB into the epilouge, so we could play as him. Some might think that's unrealistic, but look at real-life Doc Holliday, who despite his hard living lifestyle, lived for 15 years after his initial diagnosis at the age of 22, to finally die in bed with his boots off. I hate to say it, because John was the original star of the Red Dead Redemption game and I played the original back when it first came out, but after playing as Arthur, I honestly couldn't stand playing as John afterwards. Please don't get me wrong, John is a great character, but what I loved was Arthur's wit and how he genuinely seemed to enjoy life and had a fun side to him, whereas John seemed to be serious all the time in comparison. But I did feel compassion for John, because by the time 1911 roles around, John truly has changed and has tried to be a better man, yet sadly as John said in the first game: "Nothing gets forgiven."
@BrinkPink5 ай бұрын
thanks so much for watching! understandable to feel that way, but i mean John uh genuinely enjoys life and has a fun side to him...they literally copied his character, retooled it a tiny bit and created an older brother aka Arthur for RDRII lol And honestly, Arthur is not a real happy dude. Hes described as a sullen man, sad, very often. Even by himself, or mary beth, well nearly everyone. He cant barely stomach looking at himself in the mirror. Dutch calls him a "big shadow case behind a tiny tree." aka Arthur is a useful ally but hes dumb, simple. People think hes a blockhead, and I think thats great. As we the player know hes not, just like John, thru Arthur's journal we can discern that for both of them. I mean also Arthur beat a sick man, who ran a kids charity, to death...Its something John didnt do. Arthur is the one doing strauss' dirty work, as strauss says himself no one else (including John) is willing to stoop so slow to conduct, usury is not a good look. All those mistakes, and looking the other way with Dutch's decline are super necessary for Arthur's Redemption to be meaningful, as he didnt exist in RDR1. So having him live after rdr2 would be a super weird choice, and definitely wouldnt fit into RDR's overall narrative and themes. Especially as Ross wouldve been hunting down Arthur too by 1910. Arthur's sacrifice is essential for it all to at least make a little sense for continuity, its what pushes Dutch waay over the edge to the crazed man he becomes in rdr1, just as it pushes John to eternally strive to be a better man..to try and change and do whats right. Personally I couldnt wait to play as John again, and I find the epilogue is this ultimate love letter to rdr fans.....but thats just my opinion anyway.

I mean, that may not be perfect, of course, but it could fit the terms of continuity as well. Arthur's character, from his voice, to his height and build kinda remind me a little of John Wayne, who was always my favorite cowboy in cinema, and maybe that's another reason I liked Arthur more, plus if you do the Charles missions, like where you attend that gallery, when Charles gets smacked over the head by that lady with her purse, Arthur busts out laughing, whereas if you do them as John, he barely let's out a chuckle, which to me shows a huge differences in their personalities.

Sorry to all Sadie fans, but Bonnie is the greatest female character of the all saga to me. Dude, pls do a vídeo expeculating what happened with Sadie after de rdr1 ending. There's a real debate if she gets married with that guy from the ranch or not at her final. cutscene.

ngl, i cant think rdr2 is better than the first. everything good about rdr2, I feel it just adds to the feel and story of 1. but no gta has the strength of either. hands down

I hope RD3 we get to play as a young Dutch, leading up to the events of this heist with the ending as the escape from the heist and leaving off right where RD2 starts.

They made all this progress in story telling and presentation and gameplay just to abandon it and tell us that GTA6 is going to be underwhelming and more like gta v. I’m done with rockstar

I think with jenny and the angels cant fly bit i feel thats more of just a light misogynistic priest discounting a news story because he heard it from a woman the interpretation about people and angels feels like a stretch. Also fyi when they say savages they're talking about natives its what they called them as an element of dehumanisation. Which also puts a spotlight on the pastor talking about people and savages like they still think theyre not worthy of heaven even though the natives dont personally care about christianity . It calls into question that even the idea that it was even worth it to do those conversion camps aka concentration camps is up in the air that their humanity is still up for debate which is disgusting. so you know native people are still getting prejudice. And in some cases they still are today more from government screwing over resevation land than interpersonal but those still happen too. Anyway i feel like when thats more clearly the point of the two convos seeing these stretched meanings i dont feel they fit. Still and interesting interpretation.

Rdr2 is still better than games made today if you think rdr2 was a masterpiece just wait for gta 6 that’s gonna be a whole a whole a new great white shark or whale

So the game still never fully explained what happened during the blackwater heist and also never showed how agent ross took John's family. How are yall happy with that?

@@BrinkPink are you mentally challenged? RDR2 is supposed to answer all the questions we had from RDR. But now since releasing RDR2 we now have even MORE questions about the games story, if you don't see an issue with that you either have a learning disability or you're dumb.

It adds a lot when you haven’t played it for ages and forget all of rdr2s abysmally convenient writing, shoehorning in the worst characters for the epilogue, making John ugly on purpose aaaand waiting till the end of the game for him to act anything resembling John Marston 😂 Rdr1s storytelling was just light years ahead of the sequel lmao

holy moly somebody with some sense lmao i like rdr2 as a game but it’s a terrible prequel. it’d be a fine standalone story if they didn’t force it to connect to rdr1 though. like seriously, taking that throwaway line about dutch killing heidi mccourt and conjuring up the blackwater ferry job adds absolutely nothing to the story and just character assassinates john by making him look like a moron for buying a plot of land 5 inches away from the town he & his gang committed such a bloody crime in that it can only be described as a “massacre” then the shit with the whole revenge is bad “””message””” that they try to pretend was the theme of the series all along by having the extremely out of character revenge mission to kill micah being the sole reason for the events of the first game happening when in rdr1 john is decidedly uninterested in taking revenge on bill javier & dutch and in fact doesn’t want to go after them period. but nah not anymore john must’ve played dishonored in 1906 and took the “revenge solves everything” tagline to heart. it’s all just really dumb and disappointing
