    Small appreciation video. Not just for Arthur’s journal. But to every game that has more interesting facts and trivia for you to find. What game do you think does something like this best?

    in the beginning of chapter 6 Arthur mentions how he's always longed for death and that he understands its coming and this part always stuck with me specifically

    One of my favorite quotes from his journal is “I know that the only enemy that remains, is one I cannot put a bullet into.”

    I'm in Chapter VI, slowly hyping myself for the epic final fights and preparing for the tragic ending to Arthur's story, and I accidentally pressed "J" after the mission where Eagle Flies ambushed the Army and Dutch and Arthur had to jump off a cliff. I saw this entry on his journal about his thoughts with Mary's last letter (a letter of goodbye, if you will) and it legit made my eye teary. I had to step back and ease my way into the ending.

    It's funny I just came across this video because I just restarted a fresh playthrough of RDR2 last night with kinda the same thing in mind, to read Arthur's journal completely and read through it as I play as him. Something important to keep in mind for anyone else doing this, explore as much as you can as Arthur because his sketches are way better than John's and I'm pretty sure Arthur writes more in depth than John as well.

    Arthur is hands down the greatest character in video game history, so well fleshed out I mourned him and felt his loss like I’d lost a friend, one who I had to watch die every step of the way, I miss him, and his journals brought me all the more closer to him (call it corny whatever, I don’t much care)

    Honestly rude to RDR2 to compare it to TLOU, which is more or less just a bunch of cutscenes with fighting between.
