I remember a while ago watching your gta vids and saying idk why he even posts these since the viewer count was lower on these compared to the gta videos. I just bought it and completed chapter one in like 3-4 hours, it seems like these videos comes from the heart and passion. Thank you

[@HazardousHDTV]

Thank you so much for this comment. It truly means a lot to me! A ton of work goes into making these RDO guides every week, so it’s incredibly rewarding to hear that it resonates with viewers like you. Red Dead Online holds a special place for me, and I pour my heart and passion into each video. I’m glad you’re enjoying the game and finding value in these guides. Thanks again for the support!

@ I’m glad you saw the comment and appreciate it, truly. Keep doing what you love my man💪🏽❤️

Your tenacity, enjoyment and endurance of RDR2 are admirable Haz, I don’t play as much, but, still enjoy your content.

[@monosy1ab1k]

I've owned this game for a few years and loved it so much over the first couple chapters that I stopped playing.... like, keeping it in my back pocket until I thought I could give it the attention and appreciation it deserves. Thanks for the vid

[@digthathole5521]

I would say careful about that plan. I've done that but when I hopped back in I didn't enjoy it half as much as the first time.....but this RDR 2. Don't think that will happen.

[@jackson.369]

I always play a semi bad to middle ground Arthur until I get TB, then he reforms becoming high honour. I love my Arthur to have reflected on the diagnosis, feels the most right.

@@BogosBinted98 Yes I have played it for a couple of weeks and am very impressed with it. After 30 hours I'm just beginning to sort things out. I agree $20.00 is a screaming deal for this game. I don't buy games before they've launched. I prefer to wait for the reviews before I consider buying them.

[@jakebailey9884]

Same bro. 20$ for me on steam this week. It’s slow so far but I’m enjoying it as time progresses

[@pacman5800]

Played this game for the first time 3 years after it was released. I stuck with the main story, and it was a blast. I put the game down after I beat it. And now, in 2025, I'm starting a brand new playthrough, and this time, I wanna do everything.

[@blitzball4lyfe823]

Just started another one this evening! I want to do everything as well. I beat the main story but couldn’t bring myself to do the Epilogue so this will probably be a mega slow year long playthrough 🔥

[@krazyhorse9596]

Just started playing a month ago because my 13 year old said i was "uncultured swine" for never giving RD2 a chance. My advice for early game success would be, find the white Arabian, explore and find treasures and special guns to get money fast and uprade guns and camp. Pay attention to the 10 challenges as early as possible especially Chapter 3. Make satchel of the east an early goal. Some special treasure are very important and can craft trinkets for upgrades. Despite what your jealous 13 year old says, dont sell said special items. Gensing exlixer, valerian root and aged pirate rum increase your stats, i didnt know. Was just carrying all of it aroun til I figured out they give you boosts. I just started chapter 3 and having a blast just hunting and trying to find rare wild horses atm.

[@caseycameron5370]

😅😅 uncultured swine 😂😂 you raised him right coz he's correct games a masterpiece 😂

[@kevinlee8732]

I like the black arabian better and half the time he's also a male.. i got the chestnut this playthrough and he's male also.. nothing against females I just like how arthurs says "you're ok boah" and tough manly names suit horses for me better haha...

[@PierH226]

Another tip that I just discovered last night, you can craft special bullets or arrows while riding your horse. I never knew that but for me it's a game changer as you can just craft small game arrows or split point bullets while you roam towards your preys, four legs or two. I used to stop just to do those while hunting.

[@HellRaiZOR13]

How?

[@PierH226]

@HellRaiZOR13 just select the crafting tools while your horse is trotting, hope this helps

[@craigmills6275]

Wish I could play this game again. I was like 24-25 when it came out and had been out of gaming for years. I got this on ps4 at midnight from GameStop. The game took so long to download. It came with 2 discs. I’d love to replay it on a nice tv on the ps5. I bet it’s insane.

[@Fabricplants]

HAHA the cinematic tip is very true-- I put it onwhile riding my horse. I put the controller on my lap, and I turn around to ask my brother something.. I hear a bang, I turn around and I have a gun in my hand, a person is dead, and I'm wanted XD so do keep an eye on it and I learned to put my controller on a flat place XD

Hahah every time! You gotta watch out. Even in Online when Im streaming and get up to go get water or go to the bathroom I come back and I was eaten by a cougar or waltzed into a Revenue Agent roadblock and it all went South lol

[@rory1653]

First time player - just made it to chapter 3 and loving it! One of the best things I’ve ever seen on a console was playing the drunk mission 😂😂😂

[@Rekaert]

One of the things I love about it is how some encounters organically lead into another. Case in point ... So I happened up on a deal going down, four men haggling about what appeared to be a stolen wagon. It was night, so I slid over and took a good position behind an old stone wall. The men started arguing, guns were drawn, and in no time at all two of them were dead, one being coldly executed once down with a shot to the head. I figured these were probably not the nicest of men, so decided to take them out. As it happens I had my new Winchester rifle that I stole whilst rescuing a store owner's male sex slave, (whole different story), and I dropped both scumbags pretty quickly. Then I figured there's me, four dead men, and one wagon that's very likely stolen anyway, so hell, I may as well take the wagon and sell it to a fence at Emerald Ranch. Whilst in that neck of the woods and with more cash than I had before, I remembered that Marston had a plan to take down a train. For someone who left camp to go hunt a wolf, things really seemed to spiral out of control.

Start on version 1.00. Get your cash. This game is so much better if you have a horse you like. So visit the horse ranch glitch. That's just the way I choose to start a playthrough. To each their own. Play it the way you want. Best game I have ever played.

[@No_Throne_King]

@ honestly, it’s worth every single penny and I’m enjoying it even more the 2nd time round, taking my time with it instead of just focusing on doing the story and side missions, I’m doing all the things this game allows, trying to play it like an ‘Outlaw RPG’ more or less. First couple hours are a bit of a slow burn but once you’re free to do what you want etc it’s unlike anything I’ve played before

[@TheOneRei69]

@ God, it’s gonna be so much fun then this convinced me a bit to try the game even though I have no idea what types of mechanics and stuff there is in the game. Except horses, I love horses

[@No_Throne_King]

@ it’s like…’life of an outlaw’ simulation almost, you can hunt various wildlife for food and crafting, rob pretty much anyone from random NPC’s to store owners, you can go and catch and tame your own wild horses, your main horse you have to keep fed and bond with, keep yourself fed and rested, help random strangers you’ll meet out and about in the huge game world and they’re all random, some you won’t even come across your first play through as I’m encountering things I never experienced the first time, there’s an honour system which works pretty well, phenomenal story and voice acting, there’s treasure to be found through exploration etc. you’ll struggle to be bored with everything in the game and you can play it anyway you want

But yet, and still, you can gather up over a million dollars in and you can do nothing with it because you already spent everything that you wanted to spend your money on in the game, you're over a million dollars already.

The only fun thing on that game is bounty hunter Until they come out with all of those big updates for the next red dead. I won't be playing it until they come out with the new redemption 3 and I think you should be able to own a mountain lion like let's say you rescued. It's mom from a killer and The Killers kill the mom, but you got to escape away with the baby tub and you raise it and so forth and so forth. Now that will be dope, what's the other stuff?
