Red dead 2 is by far the best and most emotional gaming experience i've ever had. I enjoyed every minute of it. :)

[@guitarman0365]

such a shame so many adhd freaks couldn't get past the opening mountain sequence for being too boring and slow paced. This game ain't for everyone but the people it's for it really nails the experience.

I hear that man. The world needs more ambiences of this level. Even with a little bluesy vibe atimes, it's still not distracting.

[@lichenthug]

Listening to this, brooding atop the southwestern hills of Oregon. Among the yellow grass and under the lodgepoles, where whooping and knocking of a mythical legend echoes through the holler. The ferns run dense through the thicket, as the high grass through these high hills. Twilight in 2 hours time, the crickets sound their backwoods symphony, amidst the golden sea of grass and sun. The wind rides as gently as the condor over my ridge as I write. All things flow, and so too will the creek once the land of eternal rains harken again it's namesake.

[@Permskiykrai]

Tbh the second part with John was even more memorable for me because of the travelling around the empty and beautiful landscapes. That's why I started to really appreciate even the little things that happen to me while travelling. I found out about so much simple yet interesting things to do, like fishing or hunting the legendary beasts or just sitting and looking at the dawn. Sometimes I came to a house in the very west of west-elizabeth to look at the lake. I also really enjoyed a quest with the writer that Dutch admired, I read through all his books for like 3 times. They made me think about nature and the way of life I want. I know that this isn't a serious philosophy book but damn. I sometimes dream about going to some remote place to live in my own house by lake now

Nearly tied with my favorite game OAT (Skyrim) and was such an eye-opening, emotional, interesting, and overall personality forming experience. Waking up on a summer morning, playing some RDR2 and drinking a Black Coffee was something else. Truly, an amazing game. It is profound in a way that a 10 out of 10 rating couldn't do it justice.
