hey gamers. I had a lot of fun going on this journey and I hope that comes across clearly in the final product and isn't just a stuttering mess lmao my ass be nuts for real. here is the link to Ball Creative if you wanna check out some of the clothes. really excited about whats coming in the future. with love, Jabo
I'm literally at the end of RDR2 right now for the first time this is crazy (I bought it because of you)
Is a good game
dunkey🤝jakey
criticizing red dead redemption 2 at launch and falling in love with it later anyway
@@jonathanwilson7949bro you haven’t even seen the whole video it’s been out 11 minutes 😂
Never change Jakey! You are AMAZING man
The amount of courage it takes to sit on a big workout ball in the middle of the city like that....
how about dressing up like an emo and doing that funny dance in the middle of the city like he did in one of his music videos
You could say, he has “big workout balls.”
Also, seeing an officer speed walking towards Nakey Jakey then saying “get off the street!” made my day.
It’s New York, that’s the least insane thing going on.
Or FU money
I get anxiety from just watching it. Was he even aware there was two cops right by when he did it?
someone made a conspiracy theory about Jakey being homeless and thats why he's been outside for all his recent videos. i dig that.
Just a man and his yoga ball against the world :,(
He lives in New York.
Of course he's homeless.
He lives inside the RUclips.
He went a few months without posting, now he can no longer afford the rent on his matchbox apartment.
But come to think of it, with NY being NY, I think he might be better off just squatting in someone's house. Ball and everything.
Yeah because homelessness is so cool and funny 🤦. Tf is wrong with you?!
“I’m afraid” is one of the most heartbreaking moments I’ve ever seen and the journal is truly incredible
It's insane to me how fast time goes by when you're not paying attention. When you mentioned thinking about RDR2 for 6 years, I thought there was no way, I still remember when the game came out, and when your initial rant about Rockstar drew me in back then.
But I look back and there it is - five years ago. It can all go by so fast. Thank you for all the goofs and gaffs and laughs over those years, Jakey.
Im in my 30s now :(
I'm still thinking about Return to Castle Wolfenstein from 2001. Got my first PC in 2003, 21 years ago and that game blew my mind. Going from NES side scrollers straight to this was like another world. The brilliant campaign I probably finished over 100 times at this point. And the multiplayer. So much fun. So many amazing maps, both vanilla and modded. Such a nice community. All gone.
I still play the campaign quite often.
After 18 years, time seems to pass 3 times faster. And on top of that, there's covid, which every time I think about it makes me feel like I've been robbed of years of youth that I didn't get to experience. My "time compass" has been completely out of kilter ever since.
When I realized that when John writes in the journal and is not as good at drawing, really hit me. Like he’s trying to live up to what Arthur wanted and trying even if he’s not good at it yet
I always thought his drawings were just a result of him not spending that much time on them. He’s pretty good at some technical aspects of drawing like perspective but his drawings very much look like rough sketches more than finished artworks. I still think it fits with his character since he’s almost always portrayed as being a practical but not very open or expressive person.
I loved that subtle detail of the journal changing hands it gives you so much insight into both characters especially arthur
I went back to my old completed save this past weekend, just to go for 100% because I was bored, and ended up stumbling upon the journal by complete accident
I was somehow never aware of it in my original playthrough
It hit me like a train when I went back a few pages and found Arthurs final Journal entries
I love the journal. It's a fantastic window into Arthur's psyche, and it contextualises how Arthur is studying the various plants and animals he encounters.
There's some other fun details in the journal as well. One of my favourites being in the missions with Angelo Bronte, Dutch and Bronte's henchmen address him as "Signor Bronte". But when Arthur writes about him in his journal, he writes it as "Señor Bronte".
@@venicec3310 Arthur is wayyyy more existential, he never did no book learnin’ but he’s actively trying to live a full life and enjoy the flowers. His family was taken from him so he does a lot of reflecting and mournful introspection. John still has a full plate in front of him, so he’s never pushed himself to understand anything more than what’s pragmatic to him
When riding alone in the wilderness, Arthur will quietly hum to himself and it’s beautiful. Ya need headphones to hear it. He will hum songs he hears at the campfire gatherings, only after he hears them.
Just a gorgeous game. It’s pro’s absolutely demolish the cons for me.
it still absolutely blows my mind that i can learn facts about this game 6 years after it came out and having played it like 3 times over
I heard him do this recently and I stopped everything I was doing to listen when I realised it was a song I still had in my head after hearing it at my last visit to camp. This game transports me into a different world like no other, it’s beautiful.
Eh, you don't really need headphones to hear him do that; all that's really necessary is turning up the volume. However, I do agree with you that it's a beautiful little detail in a game that's absolutely bursting with detail, and it's one of the many reasons why I've been a huge Rockstar fan since 2001.
I think my favourite campfire song is the "jack o diamonds/rye whiskey" one they sing at the very end of Sean's party, just cause Arthur will yell "quack quack" after the line "If the ocean were whiskey and I were a duck" if you have him sing along
Most boring game I've ever played. I fell asleep EVERY SINGLE TIME I've tried to play it. Yeah sure it looks good but horse riding simulator is just mind numbingly boring.
The way Arthur’s grave changes depending on honor haunts me. A weathered lonely “blessed are those who mourn for they will be comforted” for low vs cared-for, flower adorned “blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness” for high. Great visualization of where each version of Arthur ends their journey and callback to John’s “blessed are the peacemakers”
"Blessed Are The Peacemakers, For So They Shall Be Called... or however it goes"
-Micah "Rat" Bell
Arthur was not worthy of either epitaph.
Ephesians 2:8-9
For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
1 Corinthians 6:9-11
Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.
Isaiah 64:6
We have all become like one who is unclean,
and all our righteous deeds are like a polluted garment.
We all fade like a leaf,
and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.
Romans 3:19-23
19 Now we know that whatever the law says it speaks to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and the whole world may be held accountable to God. 20 For by works of the law no human being will be justified in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin.
21 But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it- 22 the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
Matthew 5:2-12
2 And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying:
3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
------(James 4:6 ... “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”)
4 “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
---(2 Corinthians 7:10 For godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret, whereas worldly grief produces death.)
5 “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
---(Romans 12: 10 Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. 1 Corinthians 1:26-29 For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards,not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, so that no human being might boast in the presence of God.)
6 “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.
---(Matthew 22:37-40 Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”)
7 “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.
--- (Matthew 6:14-15 For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. James 2:13 For judgment is without mercy to one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.)
8 “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
---(Hebrews 10:2 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.)
9 “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.
---(Romans 5:1 Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 10:13-15 For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard?And how are they to hear without someone preaching? 15 And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!”)
10 “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 “Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. 12 Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
I loved how you shot this video!!! So so cool and when you seamlessly cut from one shot to another in the middle of sentences? bars!
This feels like a really beautiful ode to rdr2 from someone who really loves and cares for games. The appreciation and reviews of mods and how that impacted your play was SO cool to hear and it’s amazing there are people out there who care so much about gameplay immersion and mechanics they work in ways I cannot fathom to make those modifications.
I love the rdr2 story so so so so much, it’s one of my favourite pieces of fiction in that regard and I’m so pleased this time round you were able to sit into, as you put it, the tv show angle more.
I just think your videos are always so great Jakey, I get so excited to see an upload and I’m always SO satisfied at the end. I really play very few games but I love watching letsplays and hearing reviews etc and you play a huge role in my love of them.
Also, the angry birds comment made me laugh out loud, slay hard king
the fact that jakey’s posting now marks the end of a college quarter makes me feel old
Please, I'm at least four years older than Jakey and still don't feel old.

That's the definition of white privilege lmao
@@user-zp8kj2cl9g It was during a pedestrian crossing, they just didn't like him sitting there. Are you gonna be OK?
This video is amazing, the intro has to be my favorite to date. I remember discovering your channel after watching “The Power of Sound Effects in Video Games” so many years ago, and I’ve been hooked to your channel ever since. You have been such an inspiration to me and so many others over the years, not only creatively but also how you choose to hold yourself as a person, and I’m sooo excited for more content in the future!! Thank you and keep up the amazing work 🤘🤘🤘
Like others said, I’ve been filming in public for years and I still don’t know if I’d be able to have the courage to take on the city of New York’s foot traffic 😂 well done as always!
didnt know you were a nakeyjakey fan...
Mans got good taste
man you are so cool
most of those places he filmed probably had more tourists around then new yorkers
Because Jakey is a hotboi.
I made the Fast Walking mod! It's so surreal to watch a new video by a channel I love and see my obscure little project come to light, I'm really glad you liked it :)
Great video as always Jakey!
oh nice
that’s sweet dude, that modpage image of the stickfigure fastwalking is funny as shit too haha
did i ask?
@@user-rw8rc3yp9d nope, but neither did we for your reaction
@@user-rw8rc3yp9d you good?
Sick shots. Loved it. Slowing down and really playing the character is basically my favorite part of these types of games.
Such an amazing video I mean the editing alone was so good. The way u talked about this game echoes my own thoughts so much. Especially love for Arthur’s journal. Thank u for this beautiful video I’m gonna go log yet another 60 hours maybe with mods this time

Me too 💀
@@Volkswagen_YeetleYou sound brown.
Nice minimal and thoughtful mod list. It will be fun to revisit the game with the minor changes there! Thanks for including links to the mods in the description
Jakey, I discovered your channel back in 2018 when you released your first review video of RD2, and it’s a pretty beautiful thing to see you ‘coming home’ in a way to a subject that introduced me to your channel. It’s been an entertaining, hilarious, and joyful experience watching your channel evolve over the past six years, and I really hope that you continue to make very heartfelt videos and other art like this more in the future.
Btw- I also loved the hunting system in RD2. So much so that early in my second playthrough I hunted all of the necessary animals I needed to craft the perfect outfits that I wanted Arthur to wear at certain moments throughout the story to save & replay those moments whenever I liked. This game allows you to make it as cinematic of an experience as you want it to be. It very likely is Rockstar’s In Rainbows.
Props to the yoga ball gamer for not passing away from embarrassment whilst filming in a big ass New York crowd, my simple Midwest brain could not stomach such brutal conditions.
"It has, and it will continue to, blow my back out." LOL wish he had a clip of him saying that in foot traffic
I used to feel this way but learnt that we as people honestly need to get over ourselves, we aren’t so important, sure he’ll be that guy in the ball for a few retellings but that’s it, a distant memory to most…I hope you can use that mindset to chase your dream that you may be too self conscious or embarrassing to persue !!🤘🏾
I mean people in NY see weirder stuff, no one really cares. Only people who don't live in NY or visit regularly are surprised. The Subway system is full of stuff like this and worse and we just ignore it.
@@MrBoxen litterally, on a smaller capacity london is like this too, i do photography and used to be so worried about getting certain shots because i was embarrssed, by my mentor told me what's the worst that can happen, people laugh at you a little ? in in 5 mins they will be on their phones and you'll be forgotten but you'll always be thinking about that shot you wanted
@@MrBoxenyeah, I always laugh at people saying stuff like that when you know they’re not from here lol. You can pretty much do whatever you want in this city and people won’t give you a second thought.
My grandfather was born in 1899, and the rest were in the next decade. Two of them lived in Colorado, near places like "Valentine," another from Arkansas who would have traveled west through some of the areas depicted in the map such as "Rhodes." For me, this wasn't a video game. They mostly lived in cities, but it was a time machine to how things still were around them in their early days, in ways I could never imagine. It gave me insight into why they were in certain ways I didn't understand before. They all lived through an amazing transition into the 80s and early 90s. It's hard to believe the changes they experienced; from iron and steam power to aluminium and nuclear in no time. From cities of thousands to millions. From horses to interstates. From primitive Civil War era technology to computerized modern times (cell phones had even been sold by the time my last grandparent died). RDR2 connected me with my grandparents in ways they never could themselves. It's one of the most remarkable pieces of multi-media art combined with history teaching tools I've ever seen.
Coincidentally, Rockstar's LA Noire connected me with my mom's childhood Los Angeles, where she was born in 1940. I showed her that game which she says was incredibly accurate, enough so that she was able to direct me around the map to see certain things, including her West LA neighborhood. I suppose I owe Rockstar a big thank you for insight into my family's experience, or at least a little look into what the world around them was like.
California in that era was just dope. That was cowboy central with the sea.
I live in western Colorado so basically this game, and I’m sure this landscape and all is important to people who live in cities and stuff.
I never really got into it because it was slow paced. Saving it for when I have time ti enjoy it
@@lindboknifeandtool my mom has a photo of my 1899 grandfather's Norwegian immigrant grandfather cooking food at a ranch where Los Angeles would be around 1870. Full on cowboy: suspenders, jeans, boots, hat, big knife. It's straight out of RDR2.
My other grandfather was native to Denver (where I am now too, full circle) so he's the one who'd have known the "Valentine" foothill towns in the Grizzlies. Speaking of west of the Divide, his sister and brother lived in Cedaredge.
I get what you mean about the slow pace. This connection I had with the game had me gripped the first time I played it and I couldn't put it down. Every time I've tried another playthrough it ends up being just for a visit, but I go back often.
Amazing
Rockstar didn't make LA Noire.
Team Bondi did.
I suggest you to inform yourself before spreading ignorance.
It's a big insult that you ignored Team Bondi who made the game.
Rockstar didn't make LA Noire.
Rockstar bankrupted Team Bondi which were forced to give game to them for franchise that will never exist in any future sequel.
GTA is making their houses full of money.
Every other game gave them much less.
Dont even praise Rockstar.
They don't deserve any praise for just having one game per 8-10 years.
i finally got a decent gaming pc awhile ago and literally just downloaded red dead 2 a few months ago on steam after playing it originally on ps4 in 2018. the mods definitely helped me too lmao but the game’s story remains one of my favorite of all time. i’m glad someone made a video that basically encapsulates the same feelings i got playing the game a second time around because i missed so many things in my first play through. the depth in each character is crazy to me. another banger video as always
Thanks again and again for your videos @NakeyJakey.
You really touched me by your openness.
Jakey made a video about the joy of watching other people play video games at one point and just recently had my girlfriend play through RDR2 and watching her get so immersed in the game and story and atmosphere was even more fun than when I played it.
Her actively crying when she lost her horse when Arthur and John run up the last mountain together, or the shocks of when characters she really loved died in the most insane ways was awesome.
Watching others experience and experiment with games is awesome and his perspective on it was one I think about all the time.
This was definitely a perfectly timed release of a video about RDR2 for me, thanks!
i had that but watched my mum play, it was rlly awesome and she cried when arthur died
I feel like this is just n RDR2 thing because my mum who has no interest in games, used to come and watch me play the story after work.
I had a long distance gf I eventually went to meet up with and this was one of the things we could do to spend time with each other. One of us would stream while the other watched, she watched me play re8 when it came out and I watched her play a couple games, too.... Especially resident evil 4 since I knew the game like the back of my hand, it was fun watching her learn and trying to help. Good times... 😅
For all it’s faults, RDR2 will forever be my favourite game. I was at the lowest point of my life and planning on calling it a day, but I loved RDR1 and wanted to experience the new game first. I related to Arthur so much with how sad and angry he was at the world, but then I got to *that* scene… “take a gamble that love exists, and do a loving act”. I spent the rest of my playthrough redeeming Arthur, and come the end I was a different person. If it was possible for Arthur, why not me?
I’m in a much better place today, and this game and Roger Clark’s performance played a huge role in that. That is why RDR2 will forever be my favourite game.
I had a very similar experience too, Arthur's story resonated with me so much
This was a really beautiful comment to read, thanks for sharing :)
Hell yeah brother. That is the transformative power of good art.
Rodger Clark legit gave the performance of a lifetime
you should have just called it a day. Done us all a favour
Hey Nakey, just wanted to leave a comment and say that your videos are frikking awesome man. When I get that notification that you've dropped some new fire vid, my day brightens a little bit👌
I've platted RDR2 and I've gotta say, probably one of the best games ever made, despite the problems you point out (all of which I agree with). Keep up the great work man, we're all rooting for and supporting you 🙏
dang, this is one of my favorite videos you have produced! im gonna watch this again every few years
i decided to replay red dead 2 when my girlfriends’ dad donated his old ps4 games to me and he had the steelbook edition so i decided to boot it up. When i first played it 6 years ago i was entirely focused on the story and found it slightly repetitive so took a big break before finishing it. this time i just explored the world and got lost for hours and hours fishing, hunting and just riding around. the random encounters felt so new and dynamic since i hadn’t played it in so long and it was truly an amazing gaming experience
Granted, this is in the context of multiplayer, but spending hours fishing with my friends and just talking was a magical experience. We’d go to Valentine and ride down the mountain/plateau to that river that’s right next to it and stand on the banks or in the water and just chat. Catch a fish or seven, go sell them, then back to it once again. It’s one of my clearest memories of the multiplayer from way back when
Red Dead 2 is one of those games that gets so much better when you have the time to take it slow and just vibe out in the world. You’re really doing yourself a disservice if you approach it the same way you would GTA or something.
It was SOOO boring. Mind numbing. God this game was the most overrated of all time.
6 years ago.. damn.. time really passed, but not only this masterpiece of a game became a memory of mine and many others, but you first video reviewing it as well.. and this one feels like a sip of how life was before 2020, thank you so much for becoming a part of my nostalgia :)
Killing the Braithwaits is one of the(if not the best) climaxes in storytelling history. I’ve never been so emotionally invested in any piece of fiction as that first time I played it. Then again when Arthur told Sadie “mrs Adler ride with me!” The story and main character are unmatched perfection. The only thing to come close was ghost of Tsushima.
the way your videos have become actual theatrical pieces is amazing its been a privilege to watch your own creative voice develop !!!
As someone who has pretty much watched all of Strange Man’s videos, Jakey is still only scratching the surface here.
This game is a masterpiece.

This video is perfect timing. I just finished my first run of rdr2 after just beating 1. After 127 hours on 2, and 40 hours in chapter 2 alone, i still missed so much camp dialogue. The amount of subtle foreshadowing a poeticism with the camp interactions is so fun to take apart. Such an intricate game. Also love that i could zoom into decals with photo mode and actually read it. I loved the whole thing except for guarma. It genuinely felt like it didnt even happen. Also the whole revenge message was done so well. The fact that john is the reason the government intervined in rdr1 because he wanted revenge on micah and went up that mountain which in turn got the pinkertons on his trail flowed so well. Gosh this game IS FUCKING SO GOOD GRAHHH!!
Ahh man that first run is truly magical. It’s why this game hasn’t left the back of my mind for like 5 years now. I pray we get another game like it within the next decade
I've only played it once near release and not since. I'll play it again very soon. Because I wanted to forget almost everything about it. So I can live it all once again
Gta 6 hopefully, although its modern! @rowleyryan9025
I'm at 100th hour and I'm just afraid to finish the game
That’s the Way It Is by Daniel Lamoi sends shiver down my spine. I’m a grown ass man and I balled during the final Arthur scene. Nothing comes close to the quality of this game
NakeyJakey, This is amazing! I subscribed right away!
One detail i really like is that some sidequests have an alternate cutscene if you do them as john instead of arthur. Like i started the sidequest chain with the hunter dude as arthur, but then did the laat mission as john, and the cutscene is completely different. John introduces himself and says he read about the dude in arthurs journal, then they talk about arthur for a bit and then the normal mission starts. It's pretty cool
So this is basically Jake's Redemption video about Red Dead Redemption 2
The first one was like Jake Red Revolver
@@BarackLesnar jake dead revolver**
Playing red dead redemption will always be one of the best gaming experiences I’ve ever had. I’ll never forget the countless hours riding my horse and hunting animals. One of my most treasured moments is the ride home through tall trees to that music. It was so beautiful. I haven’t played red dead redemption 2 yet but I wanna really give it the time it deserves.
RDR2 blows RDR1 out of the water, play it ASAP
Agree the ride back to Beecher’s Hope with Compass playing in the background was one of the emotional high points of the game!
I got RDR2 when it came out bought an Xbox for it, yet didnt play until 2022 when I got it on PC, It was the best experience I ever had gaming. Rdr1 was one of my top 10 also
RDR 2 is the clunkiest Game from Rockstar . It’s slow and controlling Arthur feels like controlling a tank . Max Payne 3 on pc is the most fluid game from Rockstar .
Amazing visuals Jakey
This video feels like u read my soul it’s so nice to hear someone feel so immersed and desire more details like u just get ittttt jakey
The shots and the scripting in this are downright inspired. The cursive cues, the pretty shot locations, and the true blue embrace of the game's vibe and theme is clear to see. Great job yoga ball man!
How you keep your energy and demeanor flowing while you switch locations is awesome! I can only imagine how much effort you put into making that work. Incredible job!
I'm guessing he
1. Wrote the whole video first
2. Did the on-location shots
3. Did his segues and transitions at home multiple times to match the on-location footage
Right after finishing it, I went to Utah for a couple weeks. Sleeping by canyons, jammin the RDR2 soundtrack half the time. It was great.
You are one of the only content creators that can get me to actually audibly laugh. You are truly a gift to my YT feed. I can't wait for the next vid already.
The police officer shouting “get off the street!” followed by Jake's cheeky laugh got me. Well deserved thumbs up, fam.
Wow, the production on this video is really great.
Bros production quality has been skyrocketing the last few videos. If he continues to follow the stereotype, he will soon begin production on a feature film
I listened to Jakey for a couple years now and just found his channel a month or so ago. These videos are awesome.
the fact i've never played this game and probably never will, but will watch a full jakey video is a testament of how good his videos are
4:28 I did not expect to be growled at 😭
It’s so good to see the push in creativity and the improvement in video editing! I remember reading comments about how people didn’t like the change in format and it’s so nice to see how far the channel has come!
What change in format?
I wonder if he still hates it when Eddie calls him The Yoga Ball Gamer though. Especially now his company name references that plus he has the Jakerine.
oh I absolutely loved the last bits with you being dragged into bloodbaths against your will, with wanting to keep a low profile due to how much shit you and the gang have already and more importantly, being faced with your mortality and just wanting to help out the gang or be a better man for the world you've help ruin for others before you inevitably die depending on the honor, also giving John another chance as well and having those chances be at risk because of Dutch's crazy ideas
I'm sending the whole modding community a huge virtual hug. You guys fucking rule.
Had a similar experience with RDR 2. Thought it was pretty good my first play through but just kinda ran through it and thought it was kinda boring. On my second play through however I took my time to appreciate the little things about it and it is now my all time favorite game. The amount of detail is insane, I began to fully immerse myself to a point where I actually enjoy riding my horse to destinations. Truly a masterpiece.
Was not expecting this upload. Nice surprise. One of my favorite games ever
nice try fed
@@Juntouthese bots are getting insane
I love the pacing of this video. Accidentally clicked on a Mr. Beast video before this and nothing against the guy, but it made this video both soothe my hyper-editing whiplash and feel very refreshing in comparison. Essentially Jakey you are a very good youtuber, I like your videos a lot :).
new subscriber, i absolutely love this game. I hope i continue playing it throughout my life. great ep!!
love the video jakey, idk if youve ever thought of this but i'd love to see a GTA4 retrospective told in your own style
YES! NEW NAKEY JAKEY! Loved the original RDR2 video after i finally played it i was so refreshed to see the exact qualms i had with it be addressed
if only they were addressed by rockstar
@@seanm241 We'd have to wait until the next big release to see if they're addressed or improved upon them to any degree.
@@themadtitan7603 spoiler alert: they wont be
@@Sazed0 I'm taking a wait and see approach.
@@Sazed0 How do you know?
Love how much time and dedication you put into each video, insanely creative amd it shows
"You guys are gamers. You'll figure it out " 😂😂 ..Great vid
Jakey,
I watched your initial Red Dead 2 video long before I ever ended up playing the game myself. Then finally last year, I started my first playthrough. And having watched your video, I think it gave me a decent insight into what to expect when playing, and probably ended up making my first playthrough somewhat better.
Fastforward to this year and I'm towards the end of my second playthrough, and not only have I been doing the same in taking in every detail possible, it has promoted it to without a doubt becoming my favorite game/story of all time. I don't think I exaggerate when I say that this second playthrough changed my life.
All this to say, watching you travel down the same path not only brought a smile to my face but tears to my eyes, as watching everything I've come to love be still held in such a high regard by the one who indirectly started me down this path.
So thank you.
SAME. The second playthrough made me realize truly how special this game is. It changed my life.
Jakey, Im not lying when I say you are my favourite artist. I listen to your music almost everyday, Ive been listening to your stuff for years since I found Moby Dick... Your are amazing! Thanks to your music it gets me through the days and got me through my depression. Thank you and I hope you are doing well
Man not sure what is it with people coming back to RDR2 lol, I just out of nowhere felt a desire to finally play it like 3 weeks ago and finally finished it for the first time, then I see plenty of posts of it online, Jakey uploads this video and game's popping again.
Very cool since I love the game, most of the flaws are what I like in games weirdly lol.
Rdr2 is my ultimate comfy game either camping and hunting or even going around town and fighting npcs this game is amazing and will always have a special Place in my heart
Weather effects, ambient music and atmosphere are amazing, we had like 20+ years of open world games and almost all of them neglect those aspects.
Jakey looks more and more like Aphex Twin every year
Jakey's bouncy ball inspired an Aphex Twin song. It's fact dont @ me
@@therwfer what track
@@NOguy667 Bucephalus Bouncing Ball off of Richard D. James Album
@@notapseudonym678 oooh yeah
i'm glad you made this video. i agreed with a lot of points in the first video you made but at the same time, rdr2 will always be the game that saw me through covid lockdown and you do a good job getting into the reasons why here.
21:42 jakey talking about train-tracking someone only to then cut to footage on him talking on a train track was uniquely terrifying
Your rdr2 vid changed the way I view game/level design aswell as how open world games should work. I then went on to enjoy years of the kingdom, mgsv, and elden ring thanks to you. Thanks jakey
I don't quite remember if I heard the famous Rockstar mission design complained before that video or not, but it's definitely the first time I've seen it delved into in a deeper way and well-formulated my thoughts on it. And made me aware of how it even seeps into the open-world content in their recent games. It's the reason why a notable tweaking of their mission structure is one of my biggest wishes for GTA VI and all their future titles.
@@themadtitan7603Like Jake said in his previous video, it's pretty damn hard to merge a Lego-sandbox-style gameplay with Uncharted, and that's why Rockstar doesnt even try to do it. They keep those styles completely separated.
I highly doubt they're going to change that for GTA VI. Financially speaking it's not worth it.
@@FelipedPaulaSantos To be clear, I'm not expecting nor hoping for some Hitman-eque open level structure to be adopted in GTA VI nor any of their future titles - unless they take a crack at a new IP one day that has several core differences from the established "formula".
I won't even bet on getting something that's like GTA III's mission design. I just see a scenario where they can break away from the hand-holdy objective system that has gotten exacerbated in their most recent titles, in my and others' opinion.
A GTA VI where potentially, you don't fail a mission because you didn't park a wagon/car or plant bait in the specific square area they want you to (which makes complete no-mini map playthroughs nigh impossible) and doubles down on some of the freedom of approach they mingled with in RDR2. Where they allowed players to choose e.g; what time and how they'd rob a household in 'The Spines of America'. And maybe, more open side quests, activities and events since they aren't as narratively driven.
@@themadtitan7603 I get you, but to be honest, I dont think GTA VI's missions will be any different than RDR2. Simply because Rockstar has no reason to change. The game will likely score high 95s, sell billions and be popular for a decade even with those super rigid, story-heavy, mass-pleasing "missions".
And just to clarify, I would also love to see missions designed a bit more creatively. But oh well.
Hands down the best video you’ve ever made. It’s thought provoking whilst being super funny. You went above and beyond going to various locations in New York just for a single sentence of the very long script. Absolutely love it, keep up the amazing work. 🎉
This video was perfect timing as I have recently been wanting to play this game again (until I remember the no 60fps issue). Looking at different perspectives in the narrative and dialogue in particular. I've been watching a lot of videos of rdr2 again and going hmmm
Fantastic intro, Jakey! And another banger of a video!!
Mr.President a second snakey has hit the building
This was one of my favorites Jakey. You captured what makes both Red Dead 2 and your videos so special. Thank you for this one.
Arthur is my favorite fictional protagonist in any piece of media I've ever experienced
thanks for the great video jakey!
Honestly I’ve slowly done a full 180 on RDR2. I’ve started to appreciate how calm and atmospheric the game is - honest contender for the best game ever made.
Also hello fellow Jabo
Dude I swear that game is like meditation for me. I'm the slowest RDR2 player when it comes to missions. Everytime I start up the game I just find myself exploring, hunting, talking with people, crafting gear and setting up camps at nice spots. Then I look at the time and it has been 2 hours and I haven't done a single mission. Which is fine tho because I then notice that I'm totally relaxed even after stressful days.
RDR2, Cyberpunk, Elden Ring, Baldurs Gate 3, modern gaming may not be the best but these games are proving just how good it can be
Oh hey jabo, where's the other j guy? Joov
@@californiansniper2133cyberpunk is only good if you just completely ignore the development and launch.
Making a good dlc and adding *some* of the things you promised shouldn't completely wipe the slate clean, but I guess it does.
@@Oldass_Deadass_dumbass_channel I agree 100% but they completely overhauled the game, the combat is insane, the story and characters are fun and night city is gorgeous
Man, your passion just oozes through every video you create. The handwritten title cards and notes are the perfect touch, I see you Jakey, please continue to share your passions with us.
Born and raised NYer. When I moved to Chicago in my late 20's, I played GTA IV to visit when I was homesick. So much love for that game.
Made my week jakey, we missed you man!
I played “that’s the way it is” for my Mom and I started crying toward the end. No piece of media has ever done this to me. To get me to cry from just a song because of the context when it played plus its pure beauty. That is just crazy.
One of my favorite songs ever. It really is beautiful.
Going back to a game you were maybe more critical on in the past and coming out with a new appreciation is a magical experience personally. I went through something similar a few years back with Final Fantasy XII and now it's legit one of my game in the series despite years before completely hating it and writing it off. Good work as always Jakey!
It has to be terrifying to start a company like Ball creative. I wish you all the luck in this endeavor and look forward to seeing what you do.
4:33 I'd just like to appreciate the attention to detail here that the last few times (as far as I'm aware) the mixing on the "Attourney's at Law" has be egregiously loud every single time up until now. And not only did you fix that, but to acknowledge how painful it's been to hear you also added the metal pipe sound effect to really nail home "yeah that was fucking loud". Love that thank you I feel validated.
I daresay this is one of my favorite videos of yours. You’ve really evolved over the years, but I think it was just really nice to hear you…loving something. This wasn’t about critiquing it or anything, it was just talking about what you liked and how your revisit went.
Good job, man. Good job.
It's always eye-opening to revisit some of the stuff you already watched/played or whatever. When a certain amount of time passes you almost get that feeling that if you give It another shot you're going to enjoy it more knowing that you changed in a way. Awesome to see this new Ball Creative thing by the way, it's great to see you cooking stuff again after a hard year or so break!
Learned about you from your FPS debut.. Great stuff, now to check out your music
Going out, handwritten texts, calm music, and the ball. i really like the new art direction with your two last videos, it's awesome.
Lovely Video! (for me subjectively) you sneakily moved your way all the way from "guilty pleasure game/internet content" where i'd check in from time to time to one of the most appreciated and looked forward to video creators. I'm excited everytime i see a new upload when i open op youtube. Insights and visuals really hit the perfect spot for me, thank you so much for your time and efforts. Greetings from switzerland
The mods segment - my man 👌🏽
Brother, the effort and work you put into your videos is unmatched. IMO one of the greatest on the whole platform. Scripting/Comedy/Locations/ASMR ass umbrella rain shot/Editing/Audio are 11/10. You're a real one. Keep doing you, papa.
Also just a random af story:
The night you dropped ROMCOM I got into a car accident against an 18-wheeler whilst blasting DRIVE OFF A BRIDGE and lived.
Your Red Dead 2 video was the first I had seen and I almost instantly became a huge fan. I will support all your endeavors so keep on riding along snakeboy!
I deeply appreciate this reevaluation of my favorite fictional narrative. Arthur Morgan is one of the most well written and acted characters in all of entertainment… particularly his high honor path. While I disagree with some of your takes on the issues with linearity, I absolutely love that six years on you’re able to grasp the feeling and “playing pretend cowboy” for which Rockstar was going. Good stuff.
Great video as always. I never was a Rockstar story player. But when I was like "let's see what the hype is all about" ... oh man this game and GTA V just had me. Both 10/10 story.
Jakey started singing Twist by Korn at the start of that ad read lmao.
Great video, once again!
Genuinely amazing video. You just keep raising the bar. Really impressed by the seamless cuts between locations. Phenomenal editing!
Fantastic video!! Arthur's journal is the best piece of character building I've ever seen in a video game and I felt so seen when you brought it up. I haven't played Red Dead for years but I think about his journal at least weekly. Such good storytelling.
Thanks for using the Phendrana Drifts music from Metroid Prime, made me hella nostalgic!
