I actually went back on my PS3 and started playing Infamous and I can tell you it's the most fun I've had I years. I feel like Infamous inspired the honor system since depending on if you're good or evil NPCs will respond differently and the world will change because of your actions and you'll get different endings, cutscenes, and your appearance changes as well if you become more good or more evil.
Yep, they kinda dropped the ball so we can't expect the players to stick around. There are actually a lot of new players when I look in the lobbies (level 5-50) and they will have a lot of content to go through but once it's over, they will probably be gone too. If they even stick around to burn through all of it.
you’re the person that got me into this game but i’ve always loved your content no matter what it was. you’re a great guy that speaks honestly regardless of how hard it may be so mad respect. i’m excited to see the new videos and good luck in the rangers mate.👍
I've completely stopped playing Red dead and GTA. I understand completely becoming more interested in other things, especially joining the army. That's really amazing. We all grow up and find different things that stimulate us. I'm glad you could find that.
@Michael Sørensen Lost cause, I mean how obtuse you have to be to be seriously considering joining the army in the first place. Either that, or extremely desperate, so again, lost cause.
The last time I truly enjoyed playing RDO was the first week when they added Call To Arms. Played with friends constantly on Fort Mercer, dodging canons. But after that we played less and less, only went on to explore the weird 2D looking world of Guarma. Since October I've been playing "Dead by Daylight", and I'm still surprised by their scheduled updates. I've joined Lady during Easter on RDO but while I enjoy talking with her I've noticed I could've also not played the game since there was nothing to do. I'm sad about that. It's such a good looking game, it has potential but it feels dead. What I miss the most is messing around with friends in the game. Sure we play other games but rdo was special. Video games are there to entertain us, but if you don't have enough fun to play a game then there's nothing wrong with deleting it. It shouldn't feel like a chore, it should be something to look forward to do.
I left rdo about the same time you did for greener pastures, doing the same grindy shit after all my friends left just got boring. Gl getting into the rangers John, thx for the content
Hey man I love this game as much as the next guy, but tbh, we've gotta move on. All the fond memories and interactions. What an awesome experience! It's too bad this game is ignored. I wish you the best of luck in the army 👊
It's a shame about the state of RDO, and I can imagine it being especially bad on PC with the modders and stuff. The fact that R* doesn't take the steps to prevent modding, and the lack of communication towards us in general is awful. Personally I play RDO because I love the atmosphere, and just having this big sandbox game to do what I want and play with friends/ meet up with random players, but I understand that it's not enough for a lot of players and respect if people need to take a break or quit. It's sad, but absolutely understandable.
I can understand your reasons for leaving this game, but I can't also understand people's disappointment when you leave, and the reason is simple. They way you play this game and make content is absolutely badass. And I bet you inspired many player to emulate your play style for them you were a master and a hero. And knowing that a hero would quit this game is just heart breaking including for me I loved your rdr online videos and you were the reason to switch to free aim back in the days to counter the paint it black meta. I'm so glad you came back at least with one video this really made me happy.
Good luck with the Rangers my friend 👍🏻💯. I myself when I hit 18 wanted to join the Army & do exactly the same thing you're doing - Try out for Army Rangers.... But due to my hearing impairment, it was no longer a dream that could come true. I just accepted the fact & tried moving on to other things. I'm a guy who's interested in very few things, RDR/RDO is definitely one of them lol & anything to do with outdoors/survival/combat/Defense Etc. Stay strong mentally & physically 💯 Rock on Soldier 👊🏻👍🏻🍻💯
Although I rarely play anymore, and when I do, it's just a weekend type gig with some close friends..... I have really missed your red dead videos, Sly. Good luck with everything in the future.
I love your videos, you always made it fun to watch playing solo or with viewers, I was always laughing, having a good time watching and loved it when you sung THE ROOF, THE ROOF IS ON FIRE 😂. Playing games and creating videos was a passion for you and now you're moving on and have a new passion your striving for, I know you're going to put as much heart if not more for this new exciting career you have chosen. Good Luck John !
I can't blame you man I've always thought of red dead when it was fun,been over two years since I watched you and was so much fun and cheered me up,Try to do your best in your new career!🙂
There is a lot of disturbing rabbit holes in the rdo community. Some of the stuff I've seen makes me low-key hope rdo gets abandoned by rockstar but the better part of me knows that's ridiculous. But regardless rdo has a very dark future.
As someone who rode with you a few times back in the day on PS, I was sorry to see you go, but I completely understood why you did. Things became stagnant and for a lot of people nothing new meant nothing worth doing. I'll always remember turning into a rabbit with you so we could try to tempt a grizzly bear into attacking us (no luck). Best of everything to you and your new career, and I hope you continue to do the things that make you happy. Cheers!
For the last 2 days I have been feeling like complete shit from covid when I decided to start rewatching your old rdo content from the pre and post summer update. I kinda miss the original explosion of content from the summer update . If I remember correctly I dropped the game around maybe a year and a half ago(naturalist update) and since then I haven't kept up much with any "updates" from pvpcat. I looked at his channel and one of his videos recently and it is not too different from what is was almost more than a year ago, but seeing you upload rdo content while I'm binging old rdo is a huge coincidence haha.
It’s normal not to be interested in games anymore beyond the few you fell in love with, most games that are “new” aren’t actually “anything new” and / or don’t offer a quality experience. In my opinion stick to the games that interest you but take them for what they are and focus on not what they could be but what they are to you atm. RDO always has colosal potential, but will never live up to that, which is a shame but moving past it you can enjoy it occasionally for the unique gameplay it offers! Great video! I hope you succeed in the rangers!
Just got into the game and it feels so barren despite everything that you could possibly do. Really discouraging knowing that beginners grind gets even worse with all the moderation stuff on PC but regardless, I hope you find something that stimulates you and gives you purpose.
Red dead online and overwatch changed my life for the better if I'm gonna be honest. Both of these games were so good at one point but just fell so hard. I started going to the gym, learned that I'm interested in architecture and even saw myself becoming more social and having a positive outlook on life. These games were amazing once but now it's only good for some memories and nothing else
What I look for in video games is: Goal Completion that affects Stat grinding + gets you better at the game, fun combat systems, and good story and immersion. For me, these are the perfect elements for a great game.
Had to do a double take to make sure this was real, the king is back baby!! Funny thing is I was just telling my new friends on this game that if they want good and I mean good red dead content they should check your old videos and playlists because you genuinely make the best content this community has and it's great to see you back john
@@SlyJohn I'm having the same problem as you, games just don't grab me as much as they used. Personally though I've gotten back into rdr2 story mode and have been enjoying it, I play elden ring a lot cause I love souls games and bloodhunt BR as well. I also have some friends that just picked up rdo so it kindve incentivised me to play again. I try plenty of games but nothing I really stick to. Also though good luck getting into the rangers, it seems you have a lot of passion for it and I hope for the best
Hi John! I'm glad you're fine. Your videos are the best Rdr2 videos I've watched on you tube. It's okay not to play Rdr2 anymore. For me personally, Rdr2 is the best game I've ever played and I've played a lot of games. Why do I play games? Because it's fun, because you meet a lot of good people, because I like the world the way it is in the game. We may not admit it, but almost everyone who plays games is a child at heart. God bless you. :)
It got so bad with the modders ruin every session I try to play. Now I just play on a private session using a tool I found just so my wife and I can play in peace with being blown up every 5 seconds by hackers/cheaters.
You are soooo Right about leaving the game, i said the same over a year ago and haven't even logged back in ever since. I just want to say " I've never seen a gaming company that halts one of it's own titles just to allow the older one to thrive by scamming people to buy the same old fashion game 3 times in consoles hahahahahaha " oh that's hilarious...
Focus on your goal in real life, that is much more important than just a video game. You have more happier times ahead of you and I hope you good luck during boot camp training!
About RDR 1 jack’s ending That’s the thing you can kill Edgar‘s wife and brother but the game doesn’t force you to. It should have especially if rockstar never has any plans to ever do Jack’s story. And regardless after a while somebody’s gonna notice that that family is missing. I’m sure that they have friends and what not elsewhere. Eventually somebody will probably find out that they died or missing and that’ll get back to Blackwater, and that one agent that Jack first asked will give a statement saying he remembers speaking to a “young guy late teens early 20s” who is looking for him… considering what happened to John is not ancient history to the blackwater police and considering Jack would have a high motive to go after Edgar they’ll likely pin all those deaths on him. So even if the agent alone is left alive by rockstar there’s still a sizable enough loose end to make a story out of that. If they ever remake red dead redemption and they are definitively sure they don’t want Jack to have a story, he either needs to just not go after Edgar at all and move on. or they need to kill off all three witnesses immediately that’s part of the mission not a choice. As it stands now technically John’s own game isn’t even an necessity if we pretend rdr 1 never existed. And only focus on rdr2 and how that ended, literally zero need for a sequel for John he avenged The gang killed Micah, and kind of made peace with Dutch, got rich, got a ranch, and his whole family is alive and the last “good” gang members have a happy ending too.. and the surviving “bad” gang members had really no interest in going after John so he was pretty safe. So those federal agents that just happened to find John somehow after all these years (in the credit seane) seams a little far-fetched and kind of forced. They should’ve just ended the story there and I think many of not most people would probably agree. *Again pretending red dead redemption one doesn’t exist* People would feel hesitant if not completely against John having new story. Statements like “he has no story to tell”, “The wild West is over by 1911 and should never even touch the 1910s anyway”, “John got a happy ending just leave him alone” “sure let’s just ignore Arthur’s sacrifice to save John and his family”, this is more or less what probably most if not everybody would be saying if red dead redemption two was created first. But back to Jack he arguably deserves a sequel narratively speaking more so than John ever did considering John pretty much got everything he wanted. as compared to Jack who has a a massive cliffhanger about the fate of a young man killing a top brass federal agent and (canonically speaking) naïvely let 3 people live who could lead to his arrest…. Jacks ending, literally involves him asking a federal agent, Edgar‘s wife and Edgar‘s brother about where to find Edgar himself. And canonically speaking let’s all three of them live and only kills Edgar… The brother most likely is the one who finds the body or at least reports him missing, that gets back to blackwater and then the agent gives the statement describing a young man looking for Jack. Then the police will ask themselves “what kind of young man would have an issue with a retired federal agent like edger so much so to track him down and kill him”. They will also get statements from the brother and the wife no also match the same description the agent had about jack. Then considering what happened to John at breachers hope is not ancient history to the blackwater police. they’ll will be looking at Jack very closely on this and certainly blame him for it, he does have biggest motive to wanna kill him, no alibi to suggest otherwise, and most likely will not be at home and not return home realistically after killing someone like Edgar so.…. Rdr3 “ Red dead revelations” And yes I know there is a book in GTA that has Jack’s name on it. But that *only* proves he published 1 book. he technically could’ve done that in the few years following John’s death before even going after Edgar in 1914 for all we know. He could’ve died an outlaw, died in World War I, we have no idea truly how that kid turn out and considering we watched him grow up, leaving his adult life a mystery I just feel is subpar to really treat him with such low regard as a character.
I love your content, and you were the person that really got me into RDR2 Online, and it was sad to see you leave the game but I totally understand, go out there and achieve your goals in the army 👍(and as much as I would like to see you return to red dead, it can still be a shitty game at times]
I mean I remember getting in fights daily but now that’s all people do other than grind for money. I’ve been trying to kickstart the experience again with story mode, always worked before. I miss the game in its prime
It is becoming a big problem across all players playing. Its called over stimulation and life passing you by. There is a whole world out there and people are even depressed about that when you talk to people and they give their phone more attention then the people around them. Some day you will face death and wonder what was my purpose in this life. This is my take on it as a kid who grew up wanting to be an Army Ranger ...became one...was a father, husband and avid gamer...since the creation of Pong-Atari-Arcade Games-Nintendo-Sega-Playstation-Gaming Rigs on my off time...My kids loved gaming with me in World of Warcraft etc...We still made time to do outdoor sports, fishing and camping. I have been retired from the Army Since 2012 was an Army Ranger that you aspire to be with 3 combat tours in the Middle East. I got divorced and remarried after my kids graduated highschool. Since then I retreated to video games like Kingdom Come Deliverance, Total War Series Games, RDR2 and Star Citizen. For the last 6 months out of the blue I quit playing. Look around you and see and hear what is going on in the world. There is an awaking to the truth of what we have become. We have drifted too far from our original purpose were things of this world are but a shadow of its former Glory in the natural world. What I found that was missing in my life was God. For others search your own souls. I am not preaching just sharing what happened to me. Today I am finding a peace and better understanding on what is most important. It is living in truth and in love for each other. Every person has that moment of questioning ones self in this life many times. In those dark hours deep down you know where to find the answers..
Hi all, i still play rdo since beta. Mostly PVP on PS4. Still fun although it is disappointing not much update has been done throughout the game. I am even willing to pay for new contents.
I did the same thing, and I’ve played last weekend it was not the same.. it felt strange.. I still love this game but we need a descent update! In the main time I will play division.
I used to play this game everyday, but the game seems dead, and boring. You got the same idea as me as I'm trying to make it to the Army, Next Year. I'm training everyday, and don't have time for video games sometimes. I wish you well in the army🙏
Cyberpunk was a saving grace to get me off of red dead online.. now that I’ve completed 4 play throughs of cyberpunk I’m actually thinking about jumping back in to rdr2.. story mode though, I have no interest in online anymore
Whats up jhonnyy i wasn't expecting you to drop a video about red dead again damn but yeah i was a die hard fan of this game because of you and sadly i stopped playing cus its just so boring and nothing new to do but yeah happy to hear ur moving forward with your life goals ❤💪
I still love ❤️ your videos and your humor! However, I respect your feelings on the game! I still log on to connect with friends but the game is definitely lack luster and repetitive. Your RUclips content and Twitch streams kept it alive for quite awhile! ❤️🐴
Yeah I feel sad and sorry about the state Red Dead 2 is in. It's like they abandoned it. What I feel. I still like hopping on it with friends. If I hop on it by myself I get bored quickly. Last time I was on Red Dead was with Lady and we kicked some griefer butt and I was a little more confident vs in the past because of another game I've been playing with friends. I killed and fought back more. I don't think their going to add more on Red Dead 2. All their love and focus is on GTA. To get more money. I'll still hop on Red Dead sometimes if I see a friend on or I get a message from one asking if they want to hang out. I still love riding my horse around the map and stealing the small wagons. Lol
I championed this dead horse for a year, now I’ve moved on to No Man’s Sky to get the bad taste of R* out of my mouth. Used to be my favorite developer but now I’ll never buy another product from them. Just like they treat their customers, I say now R* you are dead to me. I work to hard for my money to throw it at a toxic relationship.
if i am being honest... the lack of contemt and updates doesn't deter me from continuing to play. what gets under my skin are all the bright, neon looking colored outfits and clothing that looks like it belongs in GTA. absolutely inaccurate time period clothing and colors. the skins for some weapons just suck the immersion from the game right out of me. as realistic as the game is, there are a lot of aspects that make it cheesy.
I find not much about red dead to be realistic to be honest. It's a very casual game and I'm sure it was not meant for realism. I actually have yet to seen a proper cowboy game grounded on realism.
Yeah I left GTA 5 and RDR2 for over a year as well and I can say it was good choice cause my God both games are going down hill very badly. I've moved onto VR games now and I've been playing RE 4 VR and it's freaken amazing man. You need to try VR John that'll probably get you back into gaming, well VR gaming that is and it actually requires skill since you gotta use your own reflexes and aim yourself in real time.
First of all, let me just say, even if you don't make it to the service John-- Thank you for your service. I may not be from your country, but for someone to stand up to fight for their country is someone I respect. I haven't followed up on your non RDO content, honestly, and didn't really catch any streams either. Just know that I may not watch much, but I still stand behind you and think you should play what makes YOU happy. Hope your next shot with Red Dead goes excellent! Just try not to step in Cripp's shit at the bank... Oh wait, R* hasn't added anything to do with the bank.... Shaaaaaaammmeee.....
honestly the 3 reasons you said for playing video games, i play them for all 3 and now you say that no game catches your attention for long anymore its the same for everyone, if im being honest fortnite was the peak of videogames and now people expect soooo much from videogames cause fortnite raised the bar to a whole new levels, now i try search for so many games just to keep my attention for a bit longer, i have recently come back to red dead and am enjoying it but i know once i get all the items i want im either just gonna fight online people or stop playing the game. red dead is a good game they just need to add more stuff and actually try expanding their game and get players intersted. if you think about games that have been a success for so long its because they have added and updated their game constantly to keep their player base interseted, games like call of duty, the company that releases the call of duty games just expect to keep their player base by releasing a new one very often and hoping they keep people, sure some of the games they release it works such as the new version of modern warfare 2 coming out but they cant just carry on releasing new ones they need to continue updating. such as minecraft still going strong after about 13yrs and fortnite for about 6ish or so
Good to see u brother, unfortunately RDO is more than dead tbh and rockstar is basically doing nothing to save it. I still think it’s fun to play it with friends but playing it alone will burn you out very quickly Good luck with your future plans, always enjoyed watching your vids even though I start playing RDO long after you stopped playing it. 👍👊✌️
IF ROCKSTAR HAD A BACKBONE INSTEAD OF BEING MONEY HUNGARY, RED DEAD WOULD BE A MASTER PIECE. THEY NEED TO KEEP ADDING THINGS. BUT I GUESS $$# IS ALL THAT MATTERS IN LIFE. WHEN YOURE ON YOUR DEATHBEDS YOULL WISH YOU WOULD HAVE DONE "YOUR BEST" MAKING THE GREATEST VIDEO GAME IN HISTORY. NOT HOW MUCH $$$ YOU MADE. ART IS FOREVER.
Have you tried any milsim/tactical shooter games? I think I saw tarkov but maybe you would like Hell Let Loose or Squad? Both are receiving updates and have a fun replayable experience.
R* not going to add anything else. It's basically been confirmed short from them saying so. At this point it's pretty obvious they let a great game die. Honestly game game out to early. Had it came out with new console release it been a complete different game tbh
Servers are trash, they have systestems in place to make you spend 4 hours in game for 400$ and then take 200 from you when you want to reform a posse, they make you grind for 2 weeks to become bounty hunter, but when you buy it you see that its absolute shit. Start playing a fun game that relies on skill, and dont waste your time.
Still a beautiful open world no matter how neglected it is. People just gotta stop having RDO as their primary game and enjoy other games then come back to RDO whenever they want. That's the thing that confuses me with people who get mad at RDO creators not playing RDO anymore 😂, we play games to enjoy, let people do what they wanna do 🙏🏿❤️, i kinda have the same love hate relationship with RDO that I do with FIFA since I love football so much, so I'll always find myself going back to it but not in an obsessive way where I constantly get frustrated at the lack of content and updates. On the games thing for me this year it's been: SIFU, Dying Light 2, Horizon Forbidden West, Ghostwire Tokyo, The Quarry, Elden Ring... upcoming, The Devil In Me, Stray, The Last Of Us Remake, Forespoken, God of War Raganrök, The Callisto Protocol. My standout from that so far being SIFU, was a really fun experience. Keep up the great work 👊🏿👑
@@SlyJohn No problem 🙏🏿❤️, i see a lotta people giving creators flack for not pushing out RDO content constantly, and simultaneously people constantly forcing themselves to play when it's just dry at the moment. Errbody just gotta take a step back. Play what you enjoy. We all love video games at the end of the day and once you're at a point of no longer enjoying you gotta find something that you do enjoy. And yeah on Dying Light 2 you'll like it. It's not as polished as the first one was and doesn't have as much replay value beyond the end game but it was a fun pickup game. The one I'd highly recommend more than anything is SIFU at least for me out of all those games I've played this year that one properly gave me that joy of feeling like a kid again. Then Elden Ring was also super fun but I'm not super into Soul's games so it didn't grasp me as much as it did other's. The only Soul's game to ever fully grasp me was Sekiro. Have an awesome day and hope Dying Light 2 treats you well when you eventually get time to play it :)
All off a sudden i have 2 kids your a class act thats witty john i miss your sexy voice and i know you miss me shouting down the party chat and asking you to help me. i play video games as a escape from reality and recently im enjoying reality if u ever feel anxiety just remember theres more stars in the sky than there is grains of sand on this earth if that dont make you feel small and deflate the old ego i duno what will. all problems are created in the mind just have a strong one the stuggle is real and i live for it
hahahahah take care of yourself Doyle :D I miss playing with you as well. I don't have a PS4 at home otherwise I would have got on to play a bit with you. Maybe we can play some crossplay game at some point before I join the army.
@@SlyJohn I got a external storage so I can download something that we could play together but I enjoy the time we played together will try drop you and stock a message now and then
I only play red dead online just for the free roaming, it's a beautiful world, but you can still get harassed by other players, I like PvP, but even after parleying if I'm not interested they continue to harass with dynimate. Its more fun with friends but non of mine stayed around so now I'm just by myself, the lone bandit 🤣
I'm using mouse and keyboard now. I've lost the cable to my controller somewhere in the house and I need to find it. I do have a settings video somewhere on the channel. Just look it up
What other games are you playing nowadays? I'm open to all suggestions!
For Honor
Elden ring
I'm playing Assassin's Creed Odyssey.
Re-playing Resident evil Code Veronica
And re playing Skyrim
I actually went back on my PS3 and started playing Infamous and I can tell you it's the most fun I've had I years. I feel like Infamous inspired the honor system since depending on if you're good or evil NPCs will respond differently and the world will change because of your actions and you'll get different endings, cutscenes, and your appearance changes as well if you become more good or more evil.
Gta tf2 ect
Rdo at the superior meta of deadness now it's always gonna be like that forever regardless the content
Yep, they kinda dropped the ball so we can't expect the players to stick around. There are actually a lot of new players when I look in the lobbies (level 5-50) and they will have a lot of content to go through but once it's over, they will probably be gone too. If they even stick around to burn through all of it.

Although I rarely play anymore, and when I do, it's just a weekend type gig with some close friends..... I have really missed your red dead videos, Sly. Good luck with everything in the future.
It seems most of the OG guys have stopped playing, at least regularly. Thanks for the kind words!
For me right now the only thing keeping me playing is my goal to buy everything and try to help new players
I love your videos, you always made it fun to watch playing solo or with viewers, I was always laughing, having a good time watching and loved it when you sung THE ROOF, THE ROOF IS ON FIRE 😂.

There is a lot of disturbing rabbit holes in the rdo community. Some of the stuff I've seen makes me low-key hope rdo gets abandoned by rockstar but the better part of me knows that's ridiculous. But regardless rdo has a very dark future.
Man just when I started playing. I been watching you a lot and it’s really funny. Love the videos and hope you change your mind on the game.
As someone who rode with you a few times back in the day on PS, I was sorry to see you go, but I completely understood why you did. Things became stagnant and for a lot of people nothing new meant nothing worth doing.
I'll always remember turning into a rabbit with you so we could try to tempt a grizzly bear into attacking us (no luck).
Best of everything to you and your new career, and I hope you continue to do the things that make you happy.
Cheers!
Always loved the way you played and talked about RDO. You were a great part of the community. Also good luck to your endeavors with the Rangers.
For the last 2 days I have been feeling like complete shit from covid when I decided to start rewatching your old rdo content from the pre and post summer update. I kinda miss the original explosion of content from the summer update . If I remember correctly I dropped the game around maybe a year and a half ago(naturalist update) and since then I haven't kept up much with any "updates" from pvpcat. I looked at his channel and one of his videos recently and it is not too different from what is was almost more than a year ago, but seeing you upload rdo content while I'm binging old rdo is a huge coincidence haha.
Hope you would feel better very soon sir :D Yeah the picture is more or less still the same. Red dead is dead. Take care man!
Rockstar had a huge falling out with the original creators. They're letting it die just to spite them. Yeah, it's personal.
THE LEGEND IS BACK!
Last good update was really the moonshine shack ..
They have officially killed it on the newswire they posted recently.
It’s normal not to be interested in games anymore beyond the few you fell in love with, most games that are “new” aren’t actually “anything new” and / or don’t offer a quality experience.
In my opinion stick to the games that interest you but take them for what they are and focus on not what they could be but what they are to you atm. RDO always has colosal potential, but will never live up to that, which is a shame but moving past it you can enjoy it occasionally for the unique gameplay it offers! Great video! I hope you succeed in the rangers!
Just got into the game and it feels so barren despite everything that you could possibly do. Really discouraging knowing that beginners grind gets even worse with all the moderation stuff on PC but regardless, I hope you find something that stimulates you and gives you purpose.
Red dead online and overwatch changed my life for the better if I'm gonna be honest. Both of these games were so good at one point but just fell so hard. I started going to the gym, learned that I'm interested in architecture and even saw myself becoming more social and having a positive outlook on life. These games were amazing once but now it's only good for some memories and nothing else
Sad you stopped, been here for a long ass time, gonna miss your RDO vids man
What I look for in video games is:
Goal Completion that affects Stat grinding + gets you better at the game, fun combat systems, and good story and immersion. For me, these are the perfect elements for a great game.
Thanks for sharing!
@@SlyJohn np
PvP cat has had some traction with #SaveRedDeadOnline . So we at least got SOME confirmation that they will give the game some more love.
Had to do a double take to make sure this was real, the king is back baby!! Funny thing is I was just telling my new friends on this game that if they want good and I mean good red dead content they should check your old videos and playlists because you genuinely make the best content this community has and it's great to see you back john
Thanks for the kind words. What other games do you play nowadays?
@@SlyJohn I'm having the same problem as you, games just don't grab me as much as they used. Personally though I've gotten back into rdr2 story mode and have been enjoying it, I play elden ring a lot cause I love souls games and bloodhunt BR as well. I also have some friends that just picked up rdo so it kindve incentivised me to play again. I try plenty of games but nothing I really stick to. Also though good luck getting into the rangers, it seems you have a lot of passion for it and I hope for the best
The fact they didn't even add new limited time clothing showed me exactly what direction this game is going dead end.
The OG back with a video awesome!
Unfortunately RDO has been left to die on the prairie, but congratulations on the Army and good luck!
I still tend to enjoy playing RDR2 Online even in its current state.
Hi John! I'm glad you're fine. Your videos are the best Rdr2 videos I've watched on you tube. It's okay not to play Rdr2 anymore. For me personally, Rdr2 is the best game I've ever played and I've played a lot of games. Why do I play games? Because it's fun, because you meet a lot of good people, because I like the world the way it is in the game. We may not admit it, but almost everyone who plays games is a child at heart. God bless you. :)
God bless you too! stay safe!
Best wishes on your goal of joining the Rangers
It got so bad with the modders ruin every session I try to play. Now I just play on a private session using a tool I found just so my wife and I can play in peace with being blown up every 5 seconds by hackers/cheaters.
You are soooo Right about leaving the game, i said the same over a year ago and haven't even logged back in ever since. I just want to say " I've never seen a gaming company that halts one of it's own titles just to allow the older one to thrive by scamming people to buy the same old fashion game 3 times in consoles hahahahahaha " oh that's hilarious...
Wishing you success with your goal!
Hey, John nice to see a new vid as always great content I miss your stuff.
Welcome back!
Focus on your goal in real life, that is much more important than just a video game. You have more happier times ahead of you and I hope you good luck during boot camp training!
It’s awesome to have you back!💫😍 I absolutely love your content.🔥
I play rdr1 for pvp and rdr2 for poker. Thanks for making content you will be remembered as a great red dead online creator.
About RDR 1 jack’s ending
That’s the thing you can kill Edgar‘s wife and brother but the game doesn’t force you to. It should have especially if rockstar never has any plans to ever do Jack’s story. And regardless after a while somebody’s gonna notice that that family is missing. I’m sure that they have friends and what not elsewhere. Eventually somebody will probably find out that they died or missing and that’ll get back to Blackwater, and that one agent that Jack first asked will give a statement saying he remembers speaking to a “young guy late teens early 20s” who is looking for him… considering what happened to John is not ancient history to the blackwater police and considering Jack would have a high motive to go after Edgar they’ll likely pin all those deaths on him. So even if the agent alone is left alive by rockstar there’s still a sizable enough loose end to make a story out of that.
If they ever remake red dead redemption and they are definitively sure they don’t want Jack to have a story, he either needs to just not go after Edgar at all and move on. or they need to kill off all three witnesses immediately that’s part of the mission not a choice.
As it stands now technically John’s own game isn’t even an necessity if we pretend rdr 1 never existed. And only focus on rdr2 and how that ended, literally zero need for a sequel for John he avenged The gang killed Micah, and kind of made peace with Dutch, got rich, got a ranch, and his whole family is alive and the last “good” gang members have a happy ending too.. and the surviving “bad” gang members had really no interest in going after John so he was pretty safe. So those federal agents that just happened to find John somehow after all these years (in the credit seane) seams a little far-fetched and kind of forced. They should’ve just ended the story there and I think many of not most people would probably agree. *Again pretending red dead redemption one doesn’t exist* People would feel hesitant if not completely against John having new story. Statements like “he has no story to tell”, “The wild West is over by 1911 and should never even touch the 1910s anyway”, “John got a happy ending just leave him alone” “sure let’s just ignore Arthur’s sacrifice to save John and his family”, this is more or less what probably most if not everybody would be saying if red dead redemption two was created first.
But back to Jack he arguably deserves a sequel narratively speaking more so than John ever did considering John pretty much got everything he wanted. as compared to Jack who has a a massive cliffhanger about the fate of a young man killing a top brass federal agent and (canonically speaking) naïvely let 3 people live who could lead to his arrest….
Jacks ending, literally involves him asking a federal agent, Edgar‘s wife and Edgar‘s brother about where to find Edgar himself. And canonically speaking let’s all three of them live and only kills Edgar… The brother most likely is the one who finds the body or at least reports him missing, that gets back to blackwater and then the agent gives the statement describing a young man looking for Jack. Then the police will ask themselves “what kind of young man would have an issue with a retired federal agent like edger so much so to track him down and kill him”. They will also get statements from the brother and the wife no also match the same description the agent had about jack. Then considering what happened to John at breachers hope is not ancient history to the blackwater police. they’ll will be looking at Jack very closely on this and certainly blame him for it, he does have biggest motive to wanna kill him, no alibi to suggest otherwise, and most likely will not be at home and not return home realistically after killing someone like Edgar so.…. Rdr3 “ Red dead revelations”
And yes I know there is a book in GTA that has Jack’s name on it. But that *only* proves he published 1 book. he technically could’ve done that in the few years following John’s death before even going after Edgar in 1914 for all we know. He could’ve died an outlaw, died in World War I, we have no idea truly how that kid turn out and considering we watched him grow up, leaving his adult life a mystery I just feel is subpar to really treat him with such low regard as a character.
I love your content, and you were the person that really got me into RDR2 Online, and it was sad to see you leave the game but I totally understand, go out there and achieve your goals in the army 👍(and as much as I would like to see you return to red dead, it can still be a shitty game at times]
I will miss your video about rdo man. I wish you a very bright future in the Army. Thanks man for so much laugh watching your vids. 💣🖤
I mean I remember getting in fights daily but now that’s all people do other than grind for money. I’ve been trying to kickstart the experience again with story mode, always worked before. I miss the game in its prime
It is becoming a big problem across all players playing. Its called over stimulation and life passing you by. There is a whole world out there and people are even depressed about that when you talk to people and they give their phone more attention then the people around them. Some day you will face death and wonder what was my purpose in this life. This is my take on it as a kid who grew up wanting to be an Army Ranger ...became one...was a father, husband and avid gamer...since the creation of Pong-Atari-Arcade Games-Nintendo-Sega-Playstation-Gaming Rigs on my off time...My kids loved gaming with me in World of Warcraft etc...We still made time to do outdoor sports, fishing and camping. I have been retired from the Army Since 2012 was an Army Ranger that you aspire to be with 3 combat tours in the Middle East. I got divorced and remarried after my kids graduated highschool. Since then I retreated to video games like Kingdom Come Deliverance, Total War Series Games, RDR2 and Star Citizen. For the last 6 months out of the blue I quit playing. Look around you and see and hear what is going on in the world. There is an awaking to the truth of what we have become. We have drifted too far from our original purpose were things of this world are but a shadow of its former Glory in the natural world. What I found that was missing in my life was God. For others search your own souls. I am not preaching just sharing what happened to me. Today I am finding a peace and better understanding on what is most important. It is living in truth and in love for each other. Every person has that moment of questioning ones self in this life many times. In those dark hours deep down you know where to find the answers..
2:38 Wow! You finally learned my secret move 😆
Yes sir! what games are you playing nowadays?
@@SlyJohn only Fallout 76. I still remember the good times.
I stopped playing around a year ago as well after the last update, it got so boring. Might go back just to remember it all
I missed u and missed your videos very much
Your aim still gold
Stay safe man💚
You too!
Hi all, i still play rdo since beta. Mostly PVP on PS4. Still fun although it is disappointing not much update has been done throughout the game. I am even willing to pay for new contents.
I did the same thing, and I’ve played last weekend it was not the same.. it felt strange.. I still love this game but we need a descent update! In the main time I will play division.
I used to play this game everyday, but the game seems dead, and boring. You got the same idea as me as I'm trying to make it to the Army, Next Year. I'm training everyday, and don't have time for video games sometimes. I wish you well in the army🙏
Ive always loved that classic laugh. And when you do join the Army Rangers, please be safe John
So good to see a video!!!!! You have no idea. 💯🙏
Cyberpunk was a saving grace to get me off of red dead online.. now that I’ve completed 4 play throughs of cyberpunk I’m actually thinking about jumping back in to rdr2.. story mode though, I have no interest in online anymore
Whats up jhonnyy i wasn't expecting you to drop a video about red dead again damn but yeah i was a die hard fan of this game because of you and sadly i stopped playing cus its just so boring and nothing new to do but yeah happy to hear ur moving forward with your life goals ❤💪
Sly- i don't know how to play I don't know any of the controllers [literally after killing both the players 50 times]
hahahahaha
Always enjoy your contact great to see you having a run at it again. 😉. Best to look at joining the Rangers 👏👏✌
Thanks 👍
I still love ❤️ your videos and your humor! However, I respect your feelings on the game! I still log on to connect with friends but the game is definitely lack luster and repetitive. Your RUclips content and Twitch streams kept it alive for quite awhile! ❤️🐴
Thank you ma'am!
Yeah I feel sad and sorry about the state Red Dead 2 is in. It's like they abandoned it. What I feel. I still like hopping on it with friends. If I hop on it by myself I get bored quickly. Last time I was on Red Dead was with Lady and we kicked some griefer butt and I was a little more confident vs in the past because of another game I've been playing with friends. I killed and fought back more. I don't think their going to add more on Red Dead 2. All their love and focus is on GTA. To get more money. I'll still hop on Red Dead sometimes if I see a friend on or I get a message from one asking if they want to hang out. I still love riding my horse around the map and stealing the small wagons. Lol
I stopped playing rdo weeks ago, got sick of toxic players
Busy with destiny 2 now and loving it
I play video games to chill out with my online friends and to escape the real world
I championed this dead horse for a year, now I’ve moved on to No Man’s Sky to get the bad taste of R* out of my mouth. Used to be my favorite developer but now I’ll never buy another product from them. Just like they treat their customers, I say now R* you are dead to me. I work to hard for my money to throw it at a toxic relationship.
if i am being honest... the lack of contemt and updates doesn't deter me from continuing to play. what gets under my skin are all the bright, neon looking colored outfits and clothing that looks like it belongs in GTA. absolutely inaccurate time period clothing and colors. the skins for some weapons just suck the immersion from the game right out of me. as realistic as the game is, there are a lot of aspects that make it cheesy.
I find not much about red dead to be realistic to be honest. It's a very casual game and I'm sure it was not meant for realism. I actually have yet to seen a proper cowboy game grounded on realism.
It is been a loooong time!!!
RDR2 Had so much potential but rockstar only care about shitty GTA
Yeah I left GTA 5 and RDR2 for over a year as well and I can say it was good choice cause my God both games are going down hill very badly. I've moved onto VR games now and I've been playing RE 4 VR and it's freaken amazing man. You need to try VR John that'll probably get you back into gaming, well VR gaming that is and it actually requires skill since you gotta use your own reflexes and aim yourself in real time.
I get headaches from VR sadly, I've tried it before.
First of all, let me just say, even if you don't make it to the service John-- Thank you for your service. I may not be from your country, but for someone to stand up to fight for their country is someone I respect.
I haven't followed up on your non RDO content, honestly, and didn't really catch any streams either. Just know that I may not watch much, but I still stand behind you and think you should play what makes YOU happy. Hope your next shot with Red Dead goes excellent! Just try not to step in Cripp's shit at the bank... Oh wait, R* hasn't added anything to do with the bank.... Shaaaaaaammmeee.....
honestly the 3 reasons you said for playing video games, i play them for all 3 and now you say that no game catches your attention for long anymore its the same for everyone, if im being honest fortnite was the peak of videogames and now people expect soooo much from videogames cause fortnite raised the bar to a whole new levels, now i try search for so many games just to keep my attention for a bit longer, i have recently come back to red dead and am enjoying it but i know once i get all the items i want im either just gonna fight online people or stop playing the game. red dead is a good game they just need to add more stuff and actually try expanding their game and get players intersted. if you think about games that have been a success for so long its because they have added and updated their game constantly to keep their player base interseted, games like call of duty, the company that releases the call of duty games just expect to keep their player base by releasing a new one very often and hoping they keep people, sure some of the games they release it works such as the new version of modern warfare 2 coming out but they cant just carry on releasing new ones they need to continue updating. such as minecraft still going strong after about 13yrs and fortnite for about 6ish or so
Good to see u brother, unfortunately RDO is more than dead tbh and rockstar is basically doing nothing to save it.
I still think it’s fun to play it with friends but playing it alone will burn you out very quickly
Good luck with your future plans, always enjoyed watching your vids even though I start playing RDO long after you stopped playing it.
👍👊✌️
option 40 contract is the way to go!!!
Dude, i really missed you a lot
(Im also from Brazil)
No fala merda (that's all I can say) hahahahaha
@@SlyJohn :)
IF ROCKSTAR HAD A BACKBONE INSTEAD OF BEING MONEY HUNGARY, RED DEAD WOULD BE A MASTER PIECE. THEY NEED TO KEEP ADDING THINGS. BUT I GUESS $$# IS ALL THAT MATTERS IN LIFE. WHEN YOURE ON YOUR DEATHBEDS YOULL WISH YOU WOULD HAVE DONE "YOUR BEST" MAKING THE GREATEST VIDEO GAME IN HISTORY. NOT HOW MUCH $$$ YOU MADE. ART IS FOREVER.
It's a sad reality indeed not even #Savereddeadonline did anything except get Dan's attention and even then he only acknowledged us
Bf2042 got an update, cyberpunk got an update, wwe2k22 got an update, gta 5 will get an update. Every game but red dead online are getting updates.
Have you tried any milsim/tactical shooter games? I think I saw tarkov but maybe you would like Hell Let Loose or Squad? Both are receiving updates and have a fun replayable experience.
I've tried Ground Branch, Ready or Not and Tarkov lately... they are all good games. I do have hell let loose but don't like it much
I rarely play pvp these days due to many hackers/cheaters bootings and stuff. Focusing more on single player games now✌️
R* not going to add anything else. It's basically been confirmed short from them saying so. At this point it's pretty obvious they let a great game die. Honestly game game out to early. Had it came out with new console release it been a complete different game tbh
Servers are trash, they have systestems in place to make you spend 4 hours in game for 400$ and then take 200 from you when you want to reform a posse, they make you grind for 2 weeks to become bounty hunter, but when you buy it you see that its absolute shit. Start playing a fun game that relies on skill, and dont waste your time.
sniper elite 5 axis invasion is a lot of fun pvp
Its okey to come back friend, kinda miss your post 😔😔😔
Still a beautiful open world no matter how neglected it is.
People just gotta stop having RDO as their primary game and enjoy other games then come back to RDO whenever they want. That's the thing that confuses me with people who get mad at RDO creators not playing RDO anymore 😂, we play games to enjoy, let people do what they wanna do 🙏🏿❤️, i kinda have the same love hate relationship with RDO that I do with FIFA since I love football so much, so I'll always find myself going back to it but not in an obsessive way where I constantly get frustrated at the lack of content and updates.
On the games thing for me this year it's been: SIFU, Dying Light 2, Horizon Forbidden West, Ghostwire Tokyo, The Quarry, Elden Ring... upcoming, The Devil In Me, Stray, The Last Of Us Remake, Forespoken, God of War Raganrök, The Callisto Protocol.
My standout from that so far being SIFU, was a really fun experience.
Keep up the great work 👊🏿👑
Thanks for the insights, my good sir. Well worded and true. I actually did buy Dying Light 2 but I still haven't played it yet.
@@SlyJohn No problem 🙏🏿❤️, i see a lotta people giving creators flack for not pushing out RDO content constantly, and simultaneously people constantly forcing themselves to play when it's just dry at the moment.
Errbody just gotta take a step back. Play what you enjoy. We all love video games at the end of the day and once you're at a point of no longer enjoying you gotta find something that you do enjoy.
And yeah on Dying Light 2 you'll like it. It's not as polished as the first one was and doesn't have as much replay value beyond the end game but it was a fun pickup game. The one I'd highly recommend more than anything is SIFU at least for me out of all those games I've played this year that one properly gave me that joy of feeling like a kid again. Then Elden Ring was also super fun but I'm not super into Soul's games so it didn't grasp me as much as it did other's. The only Soul's game to ever fully grasp me was Sekiro.
Have an awesome day and hope Dying Light 2 treats you well when you eventually get time to play it :)
Do you use the long or short scope on your sniper
always short
@@SlyJohn thanks
Awesome welcome back 💪💪💪💪👌
Maybe do a video on how you have your settings set up for gun play etc
There is already a video on the channel
Can we get a look at your settings on how you have your guns set up is it lock on n when useing a scope how is it set up
Is it a possibility to have some rangers videos in the future ?
Maybe
Goodluck in the rangers John 👍
Thanks! Selection is not until start of next year so I'll be around for a while :D
Trinston was here..
All off a sudden i have 2 kids your a class act thats witty john i miss your sexy voice and i know you miss me shouting down the party chat and asking you to help me. i play video games as a escape from reality and recently im enjoying reality if u ever feel anxiety just remember theres more stars in the sky than there is grains of sand on this earth if that dont make you feel small and deflate the old ego i duno what will. all problems are created in the mind just have a strong one the stuggle is real and i live for it
hahahahah take care of yourself Doyle :D I miss playing with you as well. I don't have a PS4 at home otherwise I would have got on to play a bit with you. Maybe we can play some crossplay game at some point before I join the army.
@@SlyJohn I got a external storage so I can download something that we could play together but I enjoy the time we played together will try drop you and stock a message now and then
I respect you Johny
I only play red dead online just for the free roaming, it's a beautiful world, but you can still get harassed by other players, I like PvP, but even after parleying if I'm not interested they continue to harass with dynimate. Its more fun with friends but non of mine stayed around so now I'm just by myself, the lone bandit 🤣
do you have Easter Egg moments???
What is your in game controller settings for sniping?
I'm using mouse and keyboard now. I've lost the cable to my controller somewhere in the house and I need to find it. I do have a settings video somewhere on the channel. Just look it up
i enjoyed doing this exact thing when i played, just sniping the shit out of people that griefed me, shame R* gives it no love
Dammmmmmn ur back !!🔥🔥
Bruh i hate it when people go defensive mode
#SaveRedDeadOnline we need to keep it going
Woo Hoo John is back!!!🤙🤠
