The little hint of laughter from Arthur after Micah walks off mad showed that Arthur saw Dutch Walk away from Micah and he knew that Dutch finally believed him.
@@Gamfluent it's more of a relief laugh, like he can now die knowing Dutch believes Micah is a rat. And I know alot of people wanted Dutch to shoot Micah right there or even pull Arthur up and sit there with him as he took his last breath but if Dutch did that then it would completely negate who he has become over the course of the story and who we see in RDR1. Although Benjamin Byron Davis said that after they shot that scene and after he walked away he had to stand there for a few moments because he was balling his eyes out. He said they probably have motion capture footage of Dutch crying as he's walking away.
@@MrBlack252 "Dutch believes Micah is a rat" Yeah...maybe. Not sure, since Dutch sided with Micah on the epilogue, and in the first game he was one of the villains. Dutch knew Micah was a rat, but he still didn't care.
@@vinizin8291 ok well Dutch didn't side with Micah in the epilogue first of all. It was hinted throughout the entire conversation that Dutch went there to kill Micah and take the money. That's what Dutch was going to do all along he was going to kill Micah because he knew. When Dutch saw John it changed. He knew Micah still needed to die but he wasn't about to kill John to take the money so he just left. He even says "same as you I suppose" when John asks what he was doing there.
@@vinizin8291 Micah was manipulating Dutch by agreeing to every one of his ideas. That way he seems more loyal. Throughout the game, Dutch’s ego gets damaged. The ending isn’t really happy for Dutch. By that point he definitively knew that Micah was the traitor, but admitting to that was admitting he was wrong and his legacy was over. In the end, when Dutch finally shoots Micah, that is him facing his failure. He doesn’t get redeemed but he finally admits to his faults instead of shooting John and continuing to lie to himself.
@@MrBlack252 When Dutch said that he was there for the same as John, he meant he was there for the money. If he meant he was there to kill Micah It wouldn't make sense. Why didn't he kill him already If that's what he meant?
ROYAL GAMING javier like micah the survivor but always be brother to athur that why in the end he just run with bill and never look back he don’t chose a side
The reason I cried so damn much was because Rockstar made Arthur such a real character, so real in fact that he almost felt human. I’m in love with this game.
We all knew where the story was going but it still hurt to see it end. What matters is that he tried in the end. With the time he had left, he tried. He died as a better person than he lived. He sought some form of redemption. What a good game
Well, they didn't have to kill off Arthur, they could have written it to where he never gets sick, but that he runs away like John and his family but he runs away with Marry in the end, like the 2 talked about in chapter 4. Arthur wanted to get out. But still his death is very sad to this day.
@@BigIronOnMyHip69 if Arthur “got away” then I don’t think the story would have been good. The game shows us that “if you live a bad life, the hurt you caused will eventually catch up with you” Arthur’s death was sealed the day he beat a sick man to death for just a few dollars. All he could do was redeem himself before his sins caught up with him
@@LateNightHalo yeah I understand why he died, I knew it pretty early on, didnt take long to put 2 and 2 together to know he was going to from when Thomas Downes coughed in his face while being very sick and dying shortly after. Then Arthur starts coughing throughout the game and I knew he got it from Thomas, just didn't know the exact sickness. I still just wish Arthur could have had that happily ever after ending with Marry :(
@@BigIronOnMyHip69 well that would ruin the entire point of the game. The entire game is about getting redemption for your sins that you did in the past, before you die. Hence why it's called red dead redemption.
This applies to both rdr games. Both john and Arthur died in the end, but redeeming themselves before that. Arthur sacrificed himself so that John and his family might live a good life. John sacrificed himself so that jack and abigail might live a good life. I'm sure john could've escaped but that meant he would be hunted down for the rest of his life, along with his family. He wanted his wife and son to have a good life so instead of letting them live worrying about the law, he sacrificed himself to let them have a decent life
Yes when I first beat it I can’t believe how fast I had to switch gears from crying like a baby to being serious when John is riding with his family. Rip a legend the goat game character who is more than a character he is a part of me and lots of people.
I cried like a baby. I had to step away from my monitor because I was so heartbroken. It’s crazy how something like a video game can really get under your skin. It really felt like I was losing a friend
I milked the game when I was going through depression and emotional abuse . Losing him, I don’t think I’ll experience something worse. He died alone, all Fucking alone.
@@KITN._.8 this game came out the year I really struggled with my mental health. I was suicidal and I was using this game as a way of distracting myself. I made a conscious effort to not finish the game, because I wasn’t ready and the ending had been spoiled for me. The feeling of finally being able to finish it after 6 months of mental health treatment was both incredibly sad and was a proud moment too. I guess it was kind of symbolic for me, that I was willing to let it go. (Then I played story mode 5 more times lmao)
@@elil8094 that’s great, I’m happy you found solitude. But I don’t I think it can be that for me. I’m too attached on all accounts, I don’t think I’ll be able to let him go.
I only cried 3 times while playing a game, and it was all red dead 2 1. When my horse dies 2.When arthur dies 3. When we see his grave during the credits
Omfg you're not wrong. I watched my younger brother play through this, and I too cried when your horse gets killed. The option to leave it pains me, and Arthur comforting it while it's slipping away just twists the knife in the wound.
And this is why we still play single player games and gaming is the purest form of entertainment. Hours upon hours shaping and connecting to a character for him to die is a horrible way. Its enough to bring anyone to tears
I only started playing it about a month ago, we inherited a ps4 a year ago but I had no real interest in gaming anymore, that ship had sailed several years ago, rdr2 was in the pile of games and I largely forgot about it. Eventually, I decided one Sunday after the kids had gone to bed to load it up and give it a go. I loved the original rdr, all the gta games etc, well holy shit this knocked all of them into a cocked hat. Easily the best, most immersive, beautiful and emotional game I've ever played. I finished the epilogue an hour ago, then decided to come on here and see if Arthur's death kicked anyone else in the feels as much as it did me. Yep. I feel hollow. Like I've actually lost a real life friend. Crazy that a game can make one feel that way.
@@the_mse You're close! During Chapter 3, Tilly, Hosea, and I believe Lenny are around the table by Arthur's tent and they all talk about how they wanna be buried, Tilly asks Arthur and he brushes it off before pausing and saying he wants to be buried to the west so he can watch the sunset and think of all the good times they had. And his grave in game doesn't face the west, but it is on the west side of a mountain so he can watch the sunset, Charles most likely overheard and buried him like that.
That’s kind of the core story is about 2 men (Arthur’s and Dutch) who realize abruptly that the world no longer has any use for them. One accepts it and goes peacefully into his good night while doing as much good as he can. The other fights and kills like a cornered animal, carrying on wounded and afraid for a reason he doesn’t fully understand until a hunter finally puts him down.
I started tearing up when Author helped Tilly, jack, and Abigail…best protagonist ever…I definitely started crying like a little bitch when John called author his brother
Arthur Morgan was a man of honour and respect. He was the kind of man youd want to have behind you in a fight. Arthur was a brilliant person within the Red Dead Redemption series. Arthur is what pulled me out of my depression. Arthur is the reason I love life. I am eternally thankful for Arthur being in my life, in-game or not.
That last mission was hard..not because there were difficult shootouts, but because I had to play it with tears running down my eyes as it went. Also when he was taking his final ride with his horse, and hearing the voices of people he helped..that also broke me. Oh, and the horse..I had the pure white horse with me the entire game. When it got shot and he comforted her before running off with John, fuck. This game made me care so much and fall in love with its characters. They felt so genuine.
You have to actively bust your ass to get low honor. The things that reduce your honor reduce by minuscule amounts and the things that raise your honor raise it by a huge amount. That’s why I’ll always consider the sunrise ending the canon ending.
@@patrickhughes9304 what do you mean? Its so easy to get low honor, you can just go around shooting people, and stealing their wagon, and sell it to the fence. You can rob stores everywhere, and just randomly get in bar fights. Those are just some of the things to get low honor. Frankly you do, and you don't have to bust your ass to get high honor, sometimes in missions, or random encounters you can get a high honor boost, but other than that it also goes up a miniscule amount. Thanks for reading
I had the worst honor possible until the last few missions and I looked it up and realized that honor had a significant role to play in the ending so I did everything in my power to get good honor and it made the scene with the deer so much better because the deer almost looks like he would say “you did it”
When Arthur's horse died, (Tenesse Walker you get in the very beginning) I started to tear up. When Arthur tells John they both won't make it, realization kicks in on what's about to happen. And finally, when Arthur dies, even though I knew it was coming, I didn't expect it. This, is when I started crying. Didn't play the Epilogues for another month or so.
I didn't play the Epilogue for months either lol The game ended with Arthur, IMO. The epilogue was just context for John's story. John's story, as good as it was, did not feel good after losing Arthur as the main protagonist. Too big of a transition.
When Arthur was about to ride to his death I remember saying "oooh, Arthur..." and I see a lot of people doing the same. It is such a beautiful character that (in my case) did so much good things.
Notice how in the beginning Arthur was more cruel and mean but after being exposed to TB he started to change into a very good and honorable man. This shows how our lives change how we act after an action or something has changed or happen it shows that life is short and that we should always change our act and our ways before it’s to late.
I got the impression early in the game, before I knew any of this, that he was a decent man living a bad life through circumstance and learned behaviour. Many people are like this, and it takes work to break out of that... I love that for Arthur. He was trying to follow what he knew was right in his heart, not what he was taught he was meant to do as an outlaw (Obvs depends how you play that is, lol)
As blind prophet Cassidy’s said... That which is killing you will help you see the Devil’s lies...and he did especially when Dutch started killing in cold blood and began grooming new young disenfranchised people... Arthur realized what Dutch always was... we have all been though this... once we see a trusted relative groom us... only we did not realize until we became adults and saw said relative do it to other young people. Hosea May have had a soul... but Dutch was always a demon... and even Blind Prophet Cassidy calls Dutch.. “The Devil”.
He was still showing genuine concern for the gang even at the start. Him and Hosea were the only ones questioning Dutch when he planned to ambush the O'Driscolls.
The reason this scene is so emotional is because the player gets to see Arthur’s growth throughout the game. Rockstar found a way for Arthur to grow in a good enough way that the player feels an emotional connection to them. So when he dies, we aren’t just losing a video game character, we are also losing a comrade and a friend.
Hosea: how do you wanna go out Arthur? Arthur: I wanna watch sunset on the west. Man I didn’t even know that he would’ve predicted the way he went down. Depending on your honor of course. (Quote might be wrong but it was something super close)
In a way, Hosea died so that Arthur would have the death he deserved. If Hosea didn’t die because of Dutch greed and Micha’s treason, Arthur would maybe never have understand that his way’s were wrong.
Hosea also said he wanted to be buried with friends and Lenny agreed. He is buried north of saint denis right next to lenny. And the quote you are referring to is from the same conversation. But arthur was talking about where he would want to be buried, not how he would want to die. His grave is faced west. just like he wanted, so he can see the sunset and remember all the good times he had
First time I shed a tear for a videogame character, in spite of seeing it coming. Congratulations to those who wrote, developed and produced this masterpiece. By far, the best game I ever played, and the best story. By far the best videogame character. RIP Arthur Morgan.
They drew that last cutscene for so long, they were like «Arthur is dead, yeah, let that sink in» and everyone gradually become more and more depressed withing those 40 seconds. Amazing ending, truly emotional masterpiece

@@XDRevnge where girls cried : molly where boys cried : Susan Where men cried : hosea Where real men cried : John Where legends cried : arthur maybe next is me ;(
Stand Unshaken is a masterpiece within it’s own right; adding so much emotion to an already tragic moment. With that being said, I sometimes wonder if Mountain Hymn would’ve been a better song for this moment. Regardless it’s really something rare in games where you find yourself reflecting on your own person and wondering whether you’ll ever mean as much to someone as the character to a video game means to you. Whether or not you’ll be remembered long after your death by others or just fade away into obscurity, which I believe to be a worse fate than death itself.
I always heard Arthur was a great character and when I played it, I didn’t see it, I thought he would be perfect, but then I realized that’s why he’s an amazing character, he’s not perfect, he’s just a guy, trying his best to do the right thing or survive depending on your choices, he feels like an actual human being, like a friend we lost, and man…. It hurts… it hurts
As a trivia, The Deer in The Good Ending symbolizes what you had to do to get it very well, It symbolizes Sensitivity and Gentleness as what Arthur did in the good ending as in having the feeling that the debtors are in need more than him. While The Coyote inspires Pragmatism, no matter how cruel it is, you gotta pay what you owed, and what you find you keep, no matter if it was important to the person who originally had it
@ً I changed so much in the last year or so, I used to prefer multiplayer games but now I'm all about single player story games. They are so amazing, and this game was a huge part of swaying me to single player 💙
@@antnichoas I didn't play it myself, but watched a playthrough of it. Even not playing it, I was still attached to the characters and cried at the end. I'm looking forward to Spiderman Miles Morales!
Watching that beautiful buck turn and look at us before peacefully leaving was insanely painful. I didn't realize Arthur was gone until that very moment.
Man the horse, I had Priscilla from chapter 2, I took my time pottering all over the map with her, spent about 50 hours with her and she went out like that.... it made Arthur's "thankyou" seem all the more poignant.
i had my tennessee walker (which I called Boadicea 2) died with my Arthur and with my happiness, the rest of the game I was just sad and completely depressed, I had no feelings and nothing made me happy during epilogue (except for Jim Milton rides again and American venom) the rest of the epilogue was good but I was like (T_T) all the time...
Yea I had the big black horse from the hosea mission in chapter 2, I loved that boah like he was my own son and i started crying when he died. Miss ya Hotay
I'm just realizing this after watching but when Dutch walks away from Micah, it's just like he's walked away from everyone else, showing he really does only care for himself.
Theres a image where the Moutain in this scene where Arthur died in the top but the sun shining bright, Micah on top of said moutain bout only cold snow, and another with dutch only for him being on the bottom of said Moutain Notice anything about said similarities to those people in said Moutain
Dutch’s voice actor said he looked at Arthur dying and Micah being the only one “loyal” to him left and realized his mistakes, so he turned his back on both of them.
When Arthur died i cried so hard, especially since i took Buell on my last mission. When he whispered thank you It just hurt because i remember that amish was like a friend to arthur and he asked me to take care of him. Then i remember that at least amish will see Buell again and arthur can let him know we got the boar after all. He was a good man, and he did his very best to redeem himself at the end and everybody noticed that.
I love how they kill your horse first who is either: A. A level 4 bonded horse you’ve had since the beginning of the game or B. Buell who you get from that awesome side quest with the old vet. Really softens you up for this gut punch
Arthur taking the time (in a hail of gunfire) to "thank" his horse was a tough moment for me. Arthur telling that amazing nun, "I'm afraid..." was also a tough one.
The horse i had that died was a Arabian one wich i bought with the money i got from past missions. I literally bought the horse before doing that mission, i didn't know It was the last one
Crash of worlds/unshaken is one of the most chilling soundtracks for an ending i’ve heard in a long time. Also when he rides back to camp and i hear that song, it feels like i really knew this man. You damn rockstar writers, hats off to you!!!
Even though he's just a video game character, Arthur's story legit helped me through some pretty tough times. It hit extra hard when he died. RIP Mr. Morgan 💔
Plug Penguin dude relax I understand where you’re coming from I used to suffer from it when I was mugged! But ptsd comes in all forms bro maybe it was something about Arthur’s death or in the game that triggered it. So don’t judge a book it’s cover. Not cool
@@undscvr calm tf down, whether he jokes about it or not won't change what happens to people suffering from it. People make jokes like this all the time, it's just an exaggeration of how they felt, which is what makes it funny. The internet isn't for snowflakes, toughen up
You know, generally I don't see this as a sad ending, I mean yeah it's sad cause we lost Arthur, but even though he died alone, least his death was peaceful and when you do the good ending, he may die alone, but he dies as a changed man, or at the very least died trying to be one up to the end. It's the bad ending I find that is generally more sad cause you don't get a peaceful ending to his story, he doesn't die a hero, he dies alone as an outlaw, not as a hero who ended up helping people.
Thanks for the mixed reactions. I always like to watch other people react to something that made me cry so that I have someone to cry with. Looking up people's reactions to something that made me cry is the first thing I do when I'm feeling sad.
I cried so hard when Arthur died. He deserved better and Dutch is messed up in the head, he would’ve realized that if he wasn’t. Arthur is probably the most likable character.
I cried because he died….alone. Abandoned by his father figure of 30+ years. He died for his familey and yet it abandoned him, cried really really fuckijg hard.
This was one of the first game’s I felt such a real connection with. Arthur was such an amazing character and I just have to give Rockstar another standing ovation.
@@antennahead4978 if your honor max it means u got good ending ,if you good ending then the buck will smile :) because you were a good man, if you bad honor and got bad ending then you can notice that the buck is sad :( because you were bad and he will run away in slow motion
Arthurs character was so well made and rockstar really did great to make us feel connected and feel attached to Arthur. The ending made me cry but I like to think Arthur was able to die a happy peaceful death helping John and his family and his death was not in vain
While i wish Joel had the same type of send off, the same time I find Joel’s death scene to work. It’s unceremonious because it is a harsh world with death looming around every corner. Same went for triss (even if she made more of a sacrifice than Joel, protecting him and Ellie instead of him trying to protect these people only to get backstabbed) she got bit, she got shot, dead. No blaze of glory we can see, just alive one second and dead the next. And I find it worked for me, showing how one mistake that he made out of the kindness of his heart lead to his death. I kinda wish that theme of death looming around every corner was more constant throughout the game tho because it showed us what kind of world we were in in the first hour, and the next time it happens is like 12 hours in with Joel’s killer no less. Her friend gets shot in the head unceremoniously and is left there while Abby just tries to survive. But that’s just my opinion about a game I enjoyed (until the rattler part, then it just felt like filler to get the game over the 20 hour mark)
Dawson S, honestly, while I do wish that Joel could have had a better death, I think his death worked the best. It was harsh, unexpected, and set the tone of death and hurting for the rest of the game. You have to think about it like Abby; her Dad, the last person in her life (kind of like Ellie) is just shot and killed for seemingly no reason to her. That anger builds inside of her through her gaining all of that muscle. Her pain is shown through that, and by the end, she is ridiculously buff, BECAUSE it represents her anger, and need for revenge growing. Ellie’s need for revenge grows through her weight loss. After Abby gets away, Ellie is very gaunt, you can tell. This just another parallel between these two characters. And, finally, the last parallel, at the very end of the game, after Abby has spent all this time with (I forget the kids name, I hate blanking on names lol) Ellie threatens to kill him, after ALL of this, and after Abby says that she has moved on. This is just the cycle the game was telling you abt. The cycle of hatred and death. The cycle that started with Joel killing Abby’s dad for Ellie, Abby killing Joel for revenge, Ellie killing all of Abby’s friends and now threatening HER only person left. I kinda went on a tangent, but when you think about the story, and the characters like that, the game is just the masterpiece it was meant to be. P.S. the reason the Rattlers may feel like filler is because the story was supposed to end with Ellie getting her life with Dina and JJ. But, her lust for revenge sends her away again, making what should have been an end to the story for everyone, just another chapter.
You know what really sucks? It really seems like arthur really wanted to change but he was bounded to the group. What did it cost him? His love for Mary and his own life. P.s: at least in the end of credits she visits him one more time, she still loved him.
I remember in the game, even just visiting the barber and seeing Arthur's face struggling and weezing, I felt so bad. My man did everything he thought was right. It just pains me that he died alone, even more so that he wasn't mentioned in rdr1. Yeah I know the devs didn't have him in mind back then but still..
@@nekonebitan2912 yeah but after playing with arthur it just doesn't feel right, imo both characters are really cool but the game really made us connect to arthur
You could tell QueenTofu was trying to suppress just the biggest sobs throughout the whole thing. I loved all of her reactions in this game, I'm glad you included her!
This hit me on a level that I was not expecting. I lived in hope he would somehow survive throughout, praying he would find a cure and escape, then he died and it felt like losing someone I knew and cared for weird as it is to say. Couldn’t play as John for at least a month afterwards lol. This storyline is better than any game, film or TV series created.

What matters is that he tried in the end. With the time he had left, he tried. He died as a better person than he lived. He sought some form of redemption.

This applies to both rdr games. Both john and Arthur died in the end, but redeeming themselves before that. Arthur sacrificed himself so that John and his family might live a good life. John sacrificed himself so that jack and abigail might live a good life. I'm sure john could've escaped but that meant he would be hunted down for the rest of his life, along with his family. He wanted his wife and son to have a good life so instead of letting them live worrying about the law, he sacrificed himself to let them have a decent life

@@KITN._.8 this game came out the year I really struggled with my mental health. I was suicidal and I was using this game as a way of distracting myself. I made a conscious effort to not finish the game, because I wasn’t ready and the ending had been spoiled for me.

God damn. That was too much
I only cried 3 times while playing a game, and it was all red dead 2
1. When my horse dies
2.When arthur dies
3. When we see his grave during the credits
Omfg you're not wrong. I watched my younger brother play through this, and I too cried when your horse gets killed. The option to leave it pains me, and Arthur comforting it while it's slipping away just twists the knife in the wound.
I started crying when you were on your final ride back to camp, then really started bawling when Arthur gave John his hat and my horse died.
4.
when i read his diary, playing as John
I shed a tear during Arthur’s final ride.
I got angry when my horse died it was a good horse full bond but I replaced it Arthur dying made me cry
And this is why we still play single player games and gaming is the purest form of entertainment.

I only started playing it about a month ago, we inherited a ps4 a year ago but I had no real interest in gaming anymore, that ship had sailed several years ago, rdr2 was in the pile of games and I largely forgot about it. Eventually, I decided one Sunday after the kids had gone to bed to load it up and give it a go. I loved the original rdr, all the gta games etc, well holy shit this knocked all of them into a cocked hat. Easily the best, most immersive, beautiful and emotional game I've ever played. I finished the epilogue an hour ago, then decided to come on here and see if Arthur's death kicked anyone else in the feels as much as it did me. Yep. I feel hollow. Like I've actually lost a real life friend. Crazy that a game can make one feel that way.

And his grave in game doesn't face the west, but it is on the west side of a mountain so he can watch the sunset, Charles most likely overheard and buried him like that.

Your hurting yourself
Beastly just said the realest thing about Arthur. He was a good person deep down but he didn’t belong in society and he owed his loyalty to the gang
That’s kind of the core story is about 2 men (Arthur’s and Dutch) who realize abruptly that the world no longer has any use for them. One accepts it and goes peacefully into his good night while doing as much good as he can. The other fights and kills like a cornered animal, carrying on wounded and afraid for a reason he doesn’t fully understand until a hunter finally puts him down.

Arthur is what pulled me out of my depression. Arthur is the reason I love life. I am eternally thankful for Arthur being in my life, in-game or not.
If this were made into a movie or mini series critics who never played a video game in their life would call this the greatest western ever made.

I literally played the game a second time to see how the un-honorable was. I “accidentally” picked the honorable ending again.
You have to actively bust your ass to get low honor. The things that reduce your honor reduce by minuscule amounts and the things that raise your honor raise it by a huge amount. That’s why I’ll always consider the sunrise ending the canon ending.
@@patrickhughes9304 yeah I agree, but it’s just SO hard to be a bad person...

@@patrickhughes9304 what do you mean? Its so easy to get low honor, you can just go around shooting people, and stealing their wagon, and sell it to the fence. You can rob stores everywhere, and just randomly get in bar fights. Those are just some of the things to get low honor. Frankly you do, and you don't have to bust your ass to get high honor, sometimes in missions, or random encounters you can get a high honor boost, but other than that it also goes up a miniscule amount.

When Arthur's horse died, (Tenesse Walker you get in the very beginning) I started to tear up. When Arthur tells John they both won't make it, realization kicks in on what's about to happen. And finally, when Arthur dies, even though I knew it was coming, I didn't expect it. This, is when I started crying. Didn't play the Epilogues for another month or so.
I didn't play the Epilogue for months either lol
The game ended with Arthur, IMO. The epilogue was just context for John's story.
John's story, as good as it was, did not feel good after losing Arthur as the main protagonist. Too big of a transition.
It's been almost 3 months since I completed chapter 6 and I still haven't touched the epilogue, it just isnt the same game without Arthur

Notice how in the beginning Arthur was more cruel and mean but after being exposed to TB he started to change into a very good and honorable man. This shows how our lives change how we act after an action or something has changed or happen it shows that life is short and that we should always change our act and our ways before it’s to late.
I got the impression early in the game, before I knew any of this, that he was a decent man living a bad life through circumstance and learned behaviour. Many people are like this, and it takes work to break out of that... I love that for Arthur. He was trying to follow what he knew was right in his heart, not what he was taught he was meant to do as an outlaw
(Obvs depends how you play that is, lol)
As blind prophet Cassidy’s said... That which is killing you will help you see the Devil’s lies...and he did especially when Dutch started killing in cold blood and began grooming new young disenfranchised people...
Arthur realized what Dutch always was... we have all been though this... once we see a trusted relative groom us... only we did not realize until we became adults and saw said relative do it to other young people.
Hosea May have had a soul... but Dutch was always a demon... and even Blind Prophet Cassidy calls Dutch.. “The Devil”.
Yeah....that's literally the entire point of the story....
He was still showing genuine concern for the gang even at the start. Him and Hosea were the only ones questioning Dutch when he planned to ambush the O'Driscolls.

The reason this scene is so emotional is because the player gets to see Arthur’s growth throughout the game. Rockstar found a way for Arthur to grow in a good enough way that the player feels an emotional connection to them. So when he dies, we aren’t just losing a video game character, we are also losing a comrade and a friend.
I think everyone whos played has a deep connection with arthur ngl
Check the comments for Brix Cer you don't have to scroll much to find it
I hella do, it was like I was losing a brother from another mother in a game.
Hosea: how do you wanna go out Arthur?
Arthur: I wanna watch sunset on the west.
Man I didn’t even know that he would’ve predicted the way he went down. Depending on your honor of course.
(Quote might be wrong but it was something super close)
In a way, Hosea died so that Arthur would have the death he deserved. If Hosea didn’t die because of Dutch greed and Micha’s treason, Arthur would maybe never have understand that his way’s were wrong.
He watched sunrise on the east.
Turned his back on the wild west, and embraced civilisation.
Herr Edward goddamit you made me tear up with that
sunrise*
Hosea also said he wanted to be buried with friends and Lenny agreed. He is buried north of saint denis right next to lenny. And the quote you are referring to is from the same conversation. But arthur was talking about where he would want to be buried, not how he would want to die. His grave is faced west. just like he wanted, so he can see the sunset and remember all the good times he had
It’s nice that on Arthur’s last breath he wasnt gasping for air or nothing. He just calmly breathed in and out.
Technically when people die of tb, it's because they drowned in their blood
I hope that how I will go calmly breathing in and out

Stand Unshaken is a masterpiece within it’s own right; adding so much emotion to an already tragic moment. With that being said, I sometimes wonder if Mountain Hymn would’ve been a better song for this moment. Regardless it’s really something rare in games where you find yourself reflecting on your own person and wondering whether you’ll ever mean as much to someone as the character to a video game means to you. Whether or not you’ll be remembered long after your death by others or just fade away into obscurity, which I believe to be a worse fate than death itself.

As a trivia, The Deer in The Good Ending symbolizes what you had to do to get it very well, It symbolizes Sensitivity and Gentleness as what Arthur did in the good ending as in having the feeling that the debtors are in need more than him.

Man the horse, I had Priscilla from chapter 2, I took my time pottering all over the map with her, spent about 50 hours with her and she went out like that.... it made Arthur's "thankyou" seem all the more poignant.

I'm just realizing this after watching but when Dutch walks away from Micah, it's just like he's walked away from everyone else, showing he really does only care for himself.
Theres a image where the Moutain in this scene where Arthur died in the top but the sun shining bright, Micah on top of said moutain bout only cold snow, and another with dutch only for him being on the bottom of said Moutain
Notice anything about said similarities to those people in said Moutain
Dutch’s voice actor said he looked at Arthur dying and Micah being the only one “loyal” to him left and realized his mistakes, so he turned his back on both of them.

You know, generally I don't see this as a sad ending, I mean yeah it's sad cause we lost Arthur, but even though he died alone, least his death was peaceful and when you do the good ending, he may die alone, but he dies as a changed man, or at the very least died trying to be one up to the end.
It's the bad ending I find that is generally more sad cause you don't get a peaceful ending to his story, he doesn't die a hero, he dies alone as an outlaw, not as a hero who ended up helping people.

U can still help people even if ur low honor at chapter 6 so ur basically like an anti hero which makes arthurs low honor mountain ending hit harder
Sydney Cartwright exactly how I feel
not the ending we wanted, but the ending we deserved
He achieves redemption, at the end he looks at dawn knowing that he may not live to see that day, but many people will thanks to him.
Thanks for the mixed reactions. I always like to watch other people react to something that made me cry so that I have someone to cry with. Looking up people's reactions to something that made me cry is the first thing I do when I'm feeling sad.
I cried so hard when Arthur died. He deserved better and Dutch is messed up in the head, he would’ve realized that if he wasn’t. Arthur is probably the most likable character.
I cried because he died….alone. Abandoned by his father figure of 30+ years. He died for his familey and yet it abandoned him, cried really really fuckijg hard.
This was one of the first game’s I felt such a real connection with. Arthur was such an amazing character and I just have to give Rockstar another standing ovation.
you know what really got me his last breath looking at the sunrise with the music and the buck
Ngl Seeing the buck at the end made me laugh
@@antennahead4978 if your honor max it means u got good ending ,if you good ending then the buck will smile :) because you were a good man, if you bad honor and got bad ending then you can notice that the buck is sad :( because you were bad and he will run away in slow motion
@@TGWBW if you're bad then the buck is being eaten by a wolf
@Gr8sc0tt Revenge is a fools game
@Gr8sc0tt its a fools game fool
Arthurs character was so well made and rockstar really did great to make us feel connected and feel attached to Arthur. The ending made me cry but I like to think Arthur was able to die a happy peaceful death helping John and his family and his death was not in vain
Author's last deep breath always hits me hard !

A message to naughty dog : this is how you make a memorable character's death
Say it again but louder I don’t think Neil heard you
Oliver Clytus yeah he’s too high in his fucking ego to listen to people with valid arguments
Ok dude lmao, RDR2 and TLOU2 are both amazing games
While i wish Joel had the same type of send off, the same time I find Joel’s death scene to work. It’s unceremonious because it is a harsh world with death looming around every corner. Same went for triss (even if she made more of a sacrifice than Joel, protecting him and Ellie instead of him trying to protect these people only to get backstabbed) she got bit, she got shot, dead. No blaze of glory we can see, just alive one second and dead the next. And I find it worked for me, showing how one mistake that he made out of the kindness of his heart lead to his death. I kinda wish that theme of death looming around every corner was more constant throughout the game tho because it showed us what kind of world we were in in the first hour, and the next time it happens is like 12 hours in with Joel’s killer no less. Her friend gets shot in the head unceremoniously and is left there while Abby just tries to survive.
But that’s just my opinion about a game I enjoyed (until the rattler part, then it just felt like filler to get the game over the 20 hour mark)
Dawson S, honestly, while I do wish that Joel could have had a better death, I think his death worked the best. It was harsh, unexpected, and set the tone of death and hurting for the rest of the game.
You have to think about it like Abby; her Dad, the last person in her life (kind of like Ellie) is just shot and killed for seemingly no reason to her. That anger builds inside of her through her gaining all of that muscle. Her pain is shown through that, and by the end, she is ridiculously buff, BECAUSE it represents her anger, and need for revenge growing.
Ellie’s need for revenge grows through her weight loss. After Abby gets away, Ellie is very gaunt, you can tell. This just another parallel between these two characters.
And, finally, the last parallel, at the very end of the game, after Abby has spent all this time with (I forget the kids name, I hate blanking on names lol) Ellie threatens to kill him, after ALL of this, and after Abby says that she has moved on. This is just the cycle the game was telling you abt. The cycle of hatred and death. The cycle that started with Joel killing Abby’s dad for Ellie, Abby killing Joel for revenge, Ellie killing all of Abby’s friends and now threatening HER only person left.
I kinda went on a tangent, but when you think about the story, and the characters like that, the game is just the masterpiece it was meant to be.
P.S. the reason the Rattlers may feel like filler is because the story was supposed to end with Ellie getting her life with Dina and JJ. But, her lust for revenge sends her away again, making what should have been an end to the story for everyone, just another chapter.
You know what really sucks? It really seems like arthur really wanted to change but he was bounded to the group. What did it cost him? His love for Mary and his own life.
P.s: at least in the end of credits she visits him one more time, she still loved him.
I remember in the game, even just visiting the barber and seeing Arthur's face struggling and weezing, I felt so bad. My man did everything he thought was right. It just pains me that he died alone, even more so that he wasn't mentioned in rdr1. Yeah I know the devs didn't have him in mind back then but still..
Queen tofu was NOT ready for this game.
Definetly
I literally had the EXACT same reaction as her I was really not ready
Same reaction, cried like a baby
But she had a (mostly) great playthrough
@@terminallumbago6465 true
If your Arthur didn't die on that cliff watching the sun rise as he gave his final breath, don't talk to me.
Micah killed me on the Cliff what did i do wrong?
@@markosiuk_4883 i had both endings
I went to get the money because I didn't want Dutch and Micah to get it.
@@markosiuk_4883 If he picked up his gun and shot you in the head it was probably because you had low honor.
In the second playthrough i wnated to go yo thr money with low honor. I didnt made it
i cried so hard when he died and i was so salty when i was playing john 💀
At least we killed micah
What's wrong with John? He's awesome
@@nekonebitan2912 yeah but after playing with arthur it just doesn't feel right, imo both characters are really cool but the game really made us connect to arthur
@@nekonebitan2912 the same thing that happened with jack at the end of rdr1. we got attached to arthur
@@nekonebitan2912 he can't swim
Hearing Arthur weezing trying to breath hives me so much anxiety because I had very bad asthma as a kid. I know how that feels.
If you didn’t cry during Arthur’s death you’re heartless
I didnt because I was already in shock over my arabian horse.
no not really cuz i die all the time in red dead
@@batminhh but he always comes back. Not this time
Or you had it spoiled for you
@@goombatroopa5110 me
Micah: It’s over Dutch! We Won
*Some years Later*
John: IT’S JOHN MARSTON MICAH!!!!
Just you left, is it?
YEAH, JUST ME.
His name is John Marston
You could tell QueenTofu was trying to suppress just the biggest sobs throughout the whole thing. I loved all of her reactions in this game, I'm glad you included her!
This hit me on a level that I was not expecting. I lived in hope he would somehow survive throughout, praying he would find a cure and escape, then he died and it felt like losing someone I knew and cared for weird as it is to say. Couldn’t play as John for at least a month afterwards lol. This storyline is better than any game, film or TV series created.
