Seeing John Wolf saving John from wolves has got to be in someone's bingo card lol yeah John Marston was the character you play as in the previous game, John. His wife, Abigail and son, Jack were also in that one. A lot of the characters are from the previous game.
I played this and watched multiple playthrough of this (at least the earlier parts) and I didn't know you could see and talk to Kieran before you do that Pearson mission. That's pretty neat little detail. Nice find, John.
just wanna say, even if you don't love the gameplay and side quests, the main story and characters alone are more than enough reason to complete RDR2. It's got some genuinely impressive writing going on.
I've said this before and I'll continue to say it; RDR2 is a masterpiece of storytelling. From characters, themes, dialogue, and reincorporation, Dan Houser and his team are masterful writers. I loved the GOW remake, but RDR2 was robbed of the 2018 Game of the Year.
Well first of all God of war 2018 is not a "Remake". Also, GOW was very well deserved for Game of the year in my opinion as it had a Fantastic story telling and gameplay.
@@AerialFrostgow definitely didn’t deserve goty, rdr2 is the greatest game ever made, gow (and gowr) are both mediocre walking simulators that don’t even respect the mythology they’re based off of enough to represent it accurately, the gameplay sucks too
@@sebastiankruse6202 sure I respect your opinion although i totally disagree with everything you said. GOW 2018 was a great game with the best story narrative, fights and best gameplay. Thats the reason why so many people voted it for the game of the year and it won over rdr2 deservingly so. If you didn't like GOW that's totally cool, i am glad you enjoyed rdr2 and had fun. In the end its all about having fun.
This is my all time favourite game, for almost every reason! The story, the setting, the free roaming, the potential to cause chaos if youre feeling mischievous, the realistic animals, the secrets to discover etc etc. It checks all my boxes! I hope you love it, not just for us, but for your own sake!
John, For emersion and lore's sake, you can oftentimes "target" members of your group on some of those long quiet horse rides, and it will prompt you to engage in optional conversations.
My favorite content creator playing my favorite game of all time. Dreams really do come true. 😭😭😭 A big thank you in advance, John, for taking the time to play this MASSIVE game.
@@jessicamacaulay7462 yeah but mark seemingly didn’t really care about the game, he didn’t seem to enjoy the story and it felt like he just tried to rush through it
One of the coolest details of this game is during the cut scenes you can pause the game and open the map and everyone (represented by little dots) will show up in their exact positions in that cutscene, just thought that was a really cool touch. Looking forward to your playthrough of one of my favorite games!
YESSSSSSSSSSSS!! honestly i love this game mostly for the horses, i love taming the wild ones, i love giving them oats and apples, i love patting them, i love running everywhere with them, and also i love the hunting mechanics esp for the small animals with the tiny game arrows. but it has great characters too so thisll be so EXCITING!
@@haisuarina i honestly really like the mustangs because that was the first one i bonded with! i love any who are fast or who have fun colors and patterns. i actually took a black american standardbred from the pinkertons!
@@haisuarina i remember getting the notification during a race where it said that my mustang (grey, named bullet) got more stamina because of our bond and success in the race and i was so happy haha
I am SO excited to get to experience this for the first time again with you John. Honestly, I hope you love it. It's such a great story. I don't comment much but I'm on the edge of my seat for this series.
bumping into Charles with your horse and having him die instantly absolutely made me lose my mind. its been fun revisiting this game through your playthrough so far John lol
Helpful tip while playing: If you want to know who's talking during cutscenes and it helps remembering names this way, in settings for subtitles you can make it where it shows the characters names when talking.
Not alone in saying this is my favourite game of all time. I replayed it only recently but you can never ingest this game too much, it's just a masterpiece. Also so glad John hasn't had anything spoiled!
John for the love of God I know it’s a long game but it’s worth the adventure! Please continue the journey as not many of us fans of EVERYTHING you do get to experience these types of games! Please continue! We love you!
Yesssss, time for horsey game, everybody!!!!! I struggled with the controls too tbh, I ended up enabling some of the accessibility options and I got it to a point where I wasn’t constantly fumbling 😭
John, my wife and I are soooooooooooo stoked for your playthrough!! Man oh man, we hope you love RDR2 as much as we did. (also - fast forward to Episode 5 of your RDR2 playthrough and you're wearing a cowboy hat, have a handlebar mustache, there'sa horse on your office, etc.)
The main evidence of you not having played many Rockstar games is that you don't seem to glance at the map very often. Other than that, I think you're doing very well! This game is such a great experience with beautiful visuals and fantastic music. I hope you enjoy it! I love to just sit back and enjoy the scenery of it. I barely even leveled up in Red Dead Online because I would just hang out and adventure with my horse instead of doing anything useful. :D
I'm so happy that John is playing through this, excited to watch this entire series through to the end! Quite a commitment, but I've got a feeling it's gonna be an amazing ride :D
So glad to see you’re playing this. It’s especially fun because you haven’t finished RDR so you’re experiencing this story with a fresh perspective, which I haven’t seen in any other play-through.
LMAO, every time you say you "can't pick out your horse"...My man, you've been stuck staring at that horse's painted rear-end for loooong, cinematic stretches. /s
You hadn't been popping up on my timeline recently until the Casting of Frank Stone video so I've some catching up to do. I'm so happy to see you playing this and hope you enjoy quite possibly the greatest game of all time imo! You'll be using Arthur Morgan quotes every day before you know it 😂
SO EXCITED!! this is one of my favourite games, i spent almost a month playing it just because i loved exploring and walking around the environment so much that i didnt want it to end lol really hope you enjoy it, john!!
Huge fan of this game. I really love the acting in this game. Really characterful, eg the Dutch voice cracks, etc. Adds to the authenticity. Hope you enjoy your playthrough as much as many of us have and continue to do.
Yay I'm so excited for this series! It's fun to see your initial impressions of the characters and the predictions you're making for the story. The controls can be overwhelming at first but once you get used to them I thought it all felt pretty natural. Btw, if you're ever really deep in a menu (like the compendium), you can usually just hold down the back button to exit instead of manually backing from every sub menu. Can't wait for the next part!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLAY THIS MORE!!!!! I'm a fan of the game but I'm a massive fan of your witty and snappy commentary and I've been struggling to get into anyone else playing it since they're so loud and over the top or really quiet and barely speaking I absolutely adore you playing games and this is one of the games I've enjoyed the most recently! Ofc you don't have to keep playing it but I'm super glad you did!
So excited for this play through 🎉 I would LOVE to watch John play La Noire. His commentary would be gold, especially for the interrogations. All the Mad Men cast might also prompt some past life advertising stories, which are my fave 😊
I am so stoked for this playthrough! I'm super excited to see John use his immaculate fashion sense to dress up Arthur. (Low-key one of my favorite parts of watching him stream DBD. His Yun Jin fits.)
I really hope you enjoy it enough to finish the game. I love watching people play this game for the first time. This trilogy of games is one of the best ones I have ever played. And RDR2 is one of my favorite games ever made. It’s a true masterpiece, and it’s a wonderful journey to go on from start to finish.
Don't worry, take your time learning everything! It's a lot in the beginning but it's a long game and you learn on the way. I'm sooo excited to see you play this, I love your commentary. Played the game myself for the first time this year and it's now one of my favorites! Hope you like it :)
OH MY GOD i just finished this game literally 30 mins ago and you wont believe my shock when i open youtube AND SEE THIS! IM SO EXCITED FOR YOU TO PLAY THIS AND WATCH THIS! LETS GOOO!!!!!!!!!!
I cannot put into words how happy i am that this video series exists! 😭🎉 Rdr 2 is one of my favorite video games and John is one of my favorite youtubers and im enjoying this combo soooooo much! My year was absolutely shit so far and even though this is just a playthrough it brings me a lot of joy!
So excited to see the playthrough start! Controls tip: they will become more muscle memory and remember tapping and holding buttons can be different inputs. Can't believe you attacked Charles like that.
Omg the Charles moment was so good XD I'm stoked about this playthrough! I always meant to play this game since a friend's brother worked on it, but I had tried the first Red Dead Redemption back in the day and was miserable at controlling the horse so I gave up. I think I'm in the same boat as you expressed re: being somewhat turned off by the 'vehicular gameplay' in Rockstar games. So I'm definitely looking forward to getting to experience this legendary game without having to suffer the controls myself (:
OMG, you've already started this? I’m so late lol. Didn’t get any notifications, so I almost forgot. So excited for this playthrough! I really hope you enjoy the game it was such an emotional experience for me.
My man just called the great Arthur Morgan a sidekick. I don't think the story could hit nearly as hard if you were Dutch at this point in his life, considering how the story goes and the events of RDR1. Also, can't wait for the extensive clothes shopping and barber choices episodes.
This is one of my favorite games of all time. It's SUCH a treat to watch you learn and play through this. Aaaand that means it's time to fully play through this again for the 10th time.
It's a fantastic game, though difficult to get back into because of the controls. I must have spent more time just galloping around looking at the landscape than actually focus on the plot. RDR2 definitely raised my standards when it comes to AAA video games.
This being your first rockstar game from start to finish it extremely exciting because this is my favorite game of all time. Thanks for giving me something to look forward to
So excited! I definitely recommend exploring. There’s some interesting, even creepy things going on. Also, the game picks up around ch. 4! It can be a slow start but so worth it!
Glad you're playing this. Yes, it's "slow-paced" and a LOT of traveling. But Wow the things you'll see and do while traveling are incredible. Also, also, I have "driving" mechanics too. I.E. Horses and autos, but they did this one right, and I actually USEd my horse in RDRII instead like The witcher (great game) where I would rather walk LOL
The frustration with the controls and accidentally killing people is why I didn't finish this game. When I tried to mount my horse and instead punched a woman in the face causing the town to turn on me, that's when I gave up 😅 glad I get to enjoy the story via you now John!
The controls frustration is why I switched from playing console to PC. I still occasionally kick instead of dismounting or grab an NPC instead of talk to them, but it's much better on PC
@@Ksweetpea interesting... I might give it another go then on pc! Tbf I went straight from playing God of War where Kratos is so responsive, to Arthur where he feels like he's walking through treacle lol
Very well! This is my first comment although I consume your content for a couple of years now. I like the way you perceive the games, being practical, technical, logical. I relate it 100%! About Red Dead II, I am watching as if it was my first gameplay. This game is so well done, so catchy! I'm sure you will do a good job. Gosh help me to find time to watch it...
Yes! My fave RUclipsr playing one of my most fave games ever! Id never played a Rockstar game before rdr either John so your playthrough is sinilar to how i played the first time. The story is amazing though.
I've glimpsed bits and pieces of this game over the years from watching my husband play even with just that I felt really attached to the characters and story, I'm really looking forward to seeing it in full from your playthrough it's genuinely a masterpiece of a game, I hope you enjoy playing!
I haven't really been interested in playing this myself for whatever reason, but I dropped everything I was doing to sit here and watch you play. I mean, I even closed Vampire Survivors to watch, and that game plays itself. Still have an hour to go on the vid, but it's been very interesting so far! Thanks for the upload John and you bet I'll be here for the 80 hours of main story gameplay lmao
So glad you’re playing this! I’ve always thought the game was compelling to watch but couldnt find someone I really wanted to see play the whole story - I think your style of gameplay is going to finally scratch that itch for me. Hope you have fun with it!!
One of my favorite works of art out there, it fills almost every niche I have, slow-burn, top tier animations, etc. It was really ballsy of Rockstar to release an open-world game that doesn't feature constant moment-to-moment action with cluttered icons everywhere on the map. Like most open world titles I've played these days.
So excited to see you playing this, John! The Red Dead series is my absolute favorite! RDR 1 was the first game I ever actively tried to 100%, RDR 2 is even better in my opinion.
was soooo excited for you to be playing this. you prob know by now or other ppl will say but light tap down dpad for objectives and you dont have to worry about survival Too much but arthur gets different perks depending on how much you eat. You SHOULD feed your horse though 😂 that's important. ia about the car gameplay thing but its significantly less stressful past the tutorial chapter IMO. they keep you on a rail to really get you used to those controls. super hype 🎉🎉 great first ep!!
oh i wanted to say too, i think THIS song is fine, but the songs at the end of the game might need to be edited around. theyre the only ones I have seen give ppl trouble. trying to share with no spoils but it'll be obvious when you hear them. and they're *hours* away
Hell yeah! This is one of the best games that I've ever played. I love Rockstar Games for their storytelling. I'm looking forward to seeing your playthrough! ❤
So so excited for this! I too tried to play the original Red Dead Redemption but the controls were hard for a newbie (at the time) and only got halfway through.
Oh my god, this is one of my favorite games and I am so glad to see you giving it a shot! Even if you don't finish it on the channel, it is so worth a playthrough. I was a big fan of the OG RDR, but this one blew that one out of the water. Arthur is a fantastic character! I hope you have fun with it.
Hardest part of the game is definitely trying to get equiptment off your horse inventory. So glad to see you playing this in 2024! I played RDR2 for the first time this year too, and both the main story and side missions will stick with me forever. Hope you enjoy this wonder of a game!

I was just about to say the exact same thing 😂! You can buy little hair clips too
This this this! Please LOL
this is genius
this is a sick idea!
Genius
"I didn't know we were gonna be this far away" Be prepared for a lot of this lol. Love the game, but oh boy, is there a lot of traveling time.
Casually riding into Charles and killing him had me dying!
This is awesome, John obviously has somehow dodged all spoilers so this’ll be a totally fresh reaction. Gold

john, your western audiobook narrator career is waiting for you
Absolutely dying at "Charles was attacked" 😂
30 videos?! John's optimism knows no bounds!
More like 130
yeah, he can beat the game if it's 30 videos of 2 hours each
Why not? Markiplier beat it in 13 videos.

Instantly reminded of what an amazing job the voice actors did in this.
YESSSSSSSSSSSS!! honestly i love this game mostly for the horses, i love taming the wild ones, i love giving them oats and apples, i love patting them, i love running everywhere with them, and also i love the hunting mechanics esp for the small animals with the tiny game arrows. but it has great characters too so thisll be so EXCITING!

this is gonna be great. absolutely LOVED the game myself, can't wait to see how your journey unfolds
Good luck to you John! We hope you enjoy this game as much as so many of us have 😊
Love seeing you guys here!

Yesssss, time for horsey game, everybody!!!!!
I struggled with the controls too tbh, I ended up enabling some of the accessibility options and I got it to a point where I wasn’t constantly fumbling 😭
I just think one video of John interrogating people in LA Noire would cure my depression
John, my wife and I are soooooooooooo stoked for your playthrough!! Man oh man, we hope you love RDR2 as much as we did.
(also - fast forward to Episode 5 of your RDR2 playthrough and you're wearing a cowboy hat, have a handlebar mustache, there'sa horse on your office, etc.)
I fully expect that by episode 5
By episode 49 he'll be in Tahiti.

Great cowboy accent, John. Hearing you read the journal with it was enjoyable.
I’ve been waiting on this! Just got my gall bladder taken out, now I’m about to heal up and enjoy this gameplay.
It took me over 300 hours to finish this game and I enjoyed every second of it. Truly a masterpiece

Ur in for a wild ride this story is beautiful
100% was hoping for every other day uploads 😂. I have never watched the game so im exited.
im just imagining you trying to 100% this game. We're going to be here for 57 parts lol. I'm here for it though
I've glimpsed bits and pieces of this game over the years from watching my husband play
even with just that I felt really attached to the characters and story, I'm really looking forward to seeing it in full from your playthrough
it's genuinely a masterpiece of a game, I hope you enjoy playing!
I haven't really been interested in playing this myself for whatever reason, but I dropped everything I was doing to sit here and watch you play. I mean, I even closed Vampire Survivors to watch, and that game plays itself. Still have an hour to go on the vid, but it's been very interesting so far! Thanks for the upload John and you bet I'll be here for the 80 hours of main story gameplay lmao
As a horse girl I cannot fathom how you could not know which horse is yours. It's your horse! And they're all so different!
NO WAY. I was just thinking about how badly i wanted to see you play this yesterday. WWWWWWWW
So glad you’re playing this! I’ve always thought the game was compelling to watch but couldnt find someone I really wanted to see play the whole story - I think your style of gameplay is going to finally scratch that itch for me. Hope you have fun with it!!
Me and my husband have been waiting so excitedly for you to play this!!! We both screamed when we saw the notification. 😭❤️
This is so cool. I never played the base game, just online.. and the horses themselves are a joy to just ride round on. I'm excited to see this.
my favorite youtuber playing my favorite game! definitely so worth the hours, so excited to watch you play through this masterpiece🤞
john i cannot believe how savagely you just attacked charles. have some couth. some decorum.
So glad you’re playing through this John, it’s my all time favorite. I hope you enjoy it!
STOP THIS IS EVERYTHING I EVER NEEDED
so looking forward to the rest of this! i'd def recommend enabling the names in the subtitles section !!
One of my favorite works of art out there, it fills almost every niche I have, slow-burn, top tier animations, etc. It was really ballsy of Rockstar to release an open-world game that doesn't feature constant moment-to-moment action with cluttered icons everywhere on the map. Like most open world titles I've played these days.
So excited to see you playing this, John! The Red Dead series is my absolute favorite! RDR 1 was the first game I ever actively tried to 100%, RDR 2 is even better in my opinion.
was soooo excited for you to be playing this. you prob know by now or other ppl will say but light tap down dpad for objectives and you dont have to worry about survival Too much but arthur gets different perks depending on how much you eat. You SHOULD feed your horse though 😂 that's important.
ia about the car gameplay thing but its significantly less stressful past the tutorial chapter IMO. they keep you on a rail to really get you used to those controls.
super hype 🎉🎉 great first ep!!
oh i wanted to say too, i think THIS song is fine, but the songs at the end of the game might need to be edited around. theyre the only ones I have seen give ppl trouble. trying to share with no spoils but it'll be obvious when you hear them. and they're *hours* away
Hell yeah! This is one of the best games that I've ever played. I love Rockstar Games for their storytelling. I'm looking forward to seeing your playthrough! ❤
So so excited for this! I too tried to play the original Red Dead Redemption but the controls were hard for a newbie (at the time) and only got halfway through.
Oh my god, this is one of my favorite games and I am so glad to see you giving it a shot! Even if you don't finish it on the channel, it is so worth a playthrough. I was a big fan of the OG RDR, but this one blew that one out of the water. Arthur is a fantastic character! I hope you have fun with it.
I love your western reading voice, John; especially with how you seem to enjoy it. It makes an already entertaining video even better :)
Absolutely decimating Charles by lightly brushing against him with the horse was hilarious! Hell of a first episode, enjoying it.
Loved this! I'm excited to see what cool shots John will get in cinema mode
Hardest part of the game is definitely trying to get equiptment off your horse inventory. So glad to see you playing this in 2024! I played RDR2 for the first time this year too, and both the main story and side missions will stick with me forever. Hope you enjoy this wonder of a game!
