Can You Learn Anything From a Game?

[@ViciousTNT]

Hello there, I also made a video on Dutch Van Der Linde: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqXOc4SOZrOVf6s

[@Roverwonder]

Amazing video my dude I always like hearing how people take this story

[@ViciousTNT]

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@prowthegamer]

RDR2 legit changed my life. It changed the way I see the world in a way. It inspired me to do good things and not expect anything, just spread good throughout this awful world.

[@_pankaj117]

You're a good man @prowthegamer

[@davidoh14]

and learn it isn't so awful, when you spend the time enjoying it.

[@Falco_1987]

[@maxmeister747]

Apart from calling my friends fellers, i started going camping with them, i learnt to play the harmonica, i started fishing more, spending time by myself, journalling and drawing for the first time since school killed my interest in art. All of this was inspired by RDR2. It also probably set me up to be kinder and more generous.

[@ViciousTNT]

That's awesome ❤️

[@Miltypooh2001]

Red dead redemption 2 taught me that no matter how much stuff life throws at you, you should always keep going forward and never look back, the interaction between sister Calderón and arthur throughout the game was beautiful and almost made me cry

[@ViciousTNT]

Great takeaway 🙌

This game had a deep impact on me. It made me want to be a better person. It made me want to be a better husband, father, son, brother, and friend. It’s been five years and I’m doing better than I did before, but every once in a while I’m not the best. Yesterday one of my uncles passed away and it hit me hard. This video just helped me feel better. Thank you, I hope you have a beautiful life.

This is a video to send to your parents who say that “video games are mindless and they dont teach you anything”. Perfect to prove a point. Very well made ❤

[@laura_gieger]

My friend explained RDR2 to me like this, by the following experience of his cousin: at the start of RDR2: Hell yeah! Cowboy time! Let‘s rob people! at the end of RDR2: What is the meaning of life? and I think that‘s pretty accurate

[@ViciousTNT]

Haha, pretty accurate 😄

[@thestupidteenager2821]

One thing I really love is channels that have very few subs that make long, incredibly well made videos. It really shows how you’re not doing this for profit or anything, you’re just doing it because you love making videos. Keep up the good work!

The most important thing I've taken away from my years of gaming is something I picked up in recent years. You can't save everyone.

[@MohammadAVGN1]

i almost learned english from video games you can learn anything from video games depends on you and the game you are playing

[@ViciousTNT]

Same here, I originally picked up English through games as a kiddo

[@bajrangbhagat1047]

Me too buddy

[@davidwright326]

this game became every young man's dad that's the impact it had

[@raineahava7217]

The interaction between Dutch and Arthur in regards to John being freed is a perfect scene showing Arthur believed in the values Dutch raised him with but Dutch, the very person who instilled those values did not actually believe in those values. Ironic Dutch brought up loyalty there, trying to gaslight Arthur, after Arthur just engaged in an act of loyalty. It's a shame in RD1 John didn't put the bullet in Dutch's skull. Not only would have been justified but MAYBE would have decreased the chance of Ross turning on him which led to Jack becoming an outlaw

[@Cybop-xd9mm]

The game came out in 2018, so 19 year old me experienced it in a different POV then how I experience now whenever I play and finish the game. I think one of the most rewarding and insightful things about the game is to see how your moral compass has changed/or not changed over the years. In that sense, the game’s replay-ability is unmatched.

[@hungryhyena5]

Wow. This is one of the most impactful video essays I've seen. Fantastic work.

[@ViciousTNT]

"Can You Learn Anything From a Game?" We've grown enough to see games come from pure entertainment into novels that change our vision of the world. Red Dead Redemption is one of them. Thanks, Rockstar. And you, Vicious TNT. Your channel will grow, I promise that. I got this video in recommendations, so the progress is here. Don't stop. So, yes. You truly CAN learn something from a game.

[@ViciousTNT]

The past few Assassin’s Creed games have history tours that you can take about the real world at that time, I played one in Origins about ancient Egypt

[@ar6assassin913]

Tell me, exactly how much did you retain from the game in comparison to how much you could learn actually studying Ancient Egyptian history?

[@RonnieMcnuttGaming42O]

Before even watching this video, i feel like most story driven games have a moral lesson, and i would argue one could learn a life lesson from a game. especially kids when i played red dead 2 on launch at 13 that shit hurt harder than my mom on report card day.

[@ViciousTNT]

Haha, well said 😄

[@Gunny426HemiPlymouth]

I learned that god mode, unlimited ammo, and the goat mask is a vibe.

[@ViciousTNT]

It definitely is a vibe 😄

[@thenom6648]

red dead redemption 2 taught me morality. And just how important it is to understand where you stand by it, and process in life how much good and bad have you done. Because it lets you make a choice for the betterment for yourself and others. And letting me know why it’s important to be good to others.

[@gowtham8909]

God of war, Arkham, Assassin's creed, Halo, Niko and Tommy (GTA) and almost all story games i played had an effect on me as a person.

[@ittz_jace05]

Listen my favorite games are: red dead redemption, cyberpunk 2077, red dead redemption 2, five nights at freddy's, five nights at freddy's 2 & five nights at freddy's 3. And the game that has had the most impact on me was Red Dead Redemption 2, it changed me and really made me inspire to be like Arthur and I'm still trying to be like him and be better than my past self. Red Dead Redemption 2 provides you with countless fun, the best story in fiction and the best open world in gaming but it also leaves you with a life lesson not many games do that, and while red dead redemption 1 and cyberpunk also give valuable lessons on life they don't do it quite as well as red dead redemption 2.

My dad passed from cancer in March of 2018, he’d been fighting for 16 months. He never shared how he was feeling and but on a brave face. The story of Arthur I experienced later that year helped me understand what my dad was going through.

[@ViciousTNT]

I'm sorry about your loss. But I'm glad the game helped you at least a little bit.

[@kevinmelendez5339]

Man, i don't want to imagine, how you felt when Arthur's passed away.

[@travistreadway3180]

March 2017 was when I lost my father to cancer those last 7 months were the closest we have ever been it’s kinda sad because up until then we weren’t too too close but we were still chilling but that time he had left he used to be with me and my mom knowing he didn’t have much left he told me he had 2-3 years before it got him but he was lying to save me the burden of knowing the loss coming early 2 years later my mother passed away I carry being stone cold but also having a heart I carry both of them with me still to this day

[@PluteyGames]

Same here man, I also thought that, when Arthur gets told he doesn't have long to live, I understood clearly how my dad felt when he was told he had weeks from blood cancer. All the best to you man, genuinely

RIP to your father. Thank you for sharing your story and I’m glad this beautiful game can help you unpack this

[@yup7380]

RDR 2 is one of the very few games that managed to push me or made me feels that doing "good" things are more rewarding and satisfying than destroy everything in your path. Ofc, being bad in RDR 2 is also fun, experimenting how much the people and world around the player reacts to our bad deeds are interesting in it's own way. Gotta love character who try their best to be better than yesterday despite how flawed and imperfect they are

[@ViciousTNT]

Well said 🙌

[@machematix]

All you can do in life is try to be better than yesterday.

[@kuddlethegamer]

Cyberpunk 2077 made me realize I don't wish to be dead, but Red Dead Redemption 2 made me understand that sometimes there's a greater good that we have to be willing to die for.

[@ViciousTNT]

Well said ♥️

[@philipy1632]

"I'm dying sister..." That was the expression of redemption, the best moment to me, so simple with birds singing in the background, and ambivalence feeling of happy and sad at the same time.

[@ViciousTNT]

[@rymatin]

Haven’t watched much of the video, but I wanted to say that rdr2 has taught me more than one thing. I’m restarting the game (I’ve never finished it and am attempting again) and it’s become very apperent that one of the messages this game sends is “to be careful of who you decide to trust” and to “be aware of any other possible outcomes when interacting with people” More than once I judged just by body language in that game that someone was either nervous, or calculated. I’ve determined if they are actually asking of help or have an ulterior motive. A good example is the random mexican robbery encounter on your way north into the coldest regions. Just watching how he spoke when asking for help and his body language already put me off. But then he started approaching me for no reason. So I was ready when he pulled a gun. Shot him dead right between the eyes then and there. And I’m sure everyone knows Micah that’s why I gave this example here. I’m a high honor player so killing isn’t my first choice, but i also know that in a dangerous world it has to be your second option. If they won’t back down peacefully and walk away well then they won’t like the 4lb revolver in my holster. Another thing it taught is to also take into account a persons situation before making action. Such as in Saint Denis. There is a beggar who is blind, except he isn’t actually blind. He’s faking it for pity to make money. Which yes deceiving people isn’t okay. He’s also flat broke and can barely feed himself. So I decided to give him some cash but also showed him that some people won’t be as forgiving as I am if they figure it out.

[@dissonantcookie]

[@ViciousTNT]

Thank you for the kind words and for sticking around this channel 😊

[@notadocterate8987]

I think the reason i cried so much during red dead is because I relate so much to Arthur. Like him, in my childhood I was always running to save a burning ship. And thru being a people pleaser, much like Arthur. I tried to keep the wrong people happy far to long, and I did things I am ashamed of because i couldn't say no to my peers, or i just didn't idk. Now I'm trying to just be there for those who really matter, I could do better but I'm trying to be responsible and not fuck things up because I'm trying to play both sides. Unlike Arthur tho, I am not dead. I get a chance our beloved arthur rightly deserved, something to be grateful for.

[@ViciousTNT]

There a few games that can bring generations together or actually relate w/ the death from an illness or bad decisions as well as those regrets which haunt us until we die. If you have been told how long you have left to live etc. it truly changes you in one way or another ..the morality system is creepily accurate in some regards. When you know your dying.. its a funny thing
