  • spoilers I just got done with my first playthrough of Red Dead Redemption 2 and I think that The Epilogue and American Venom is EXTREMELY underrated! The transition from Arthur Morgan to John Marston is great. High Honor or Low Honor - This ending is satisfying.
    If you liked it - please watch it the entire way through as that helps the channel the most.
    Also, like subscribe and comment if you liked this longer video or you would like me to do another type of video.

      I played RDR2 as a prequel to RDR1 knowing nothing about the plot besides what the name implied. I genuinely thought Abigail was the traitor because of how they mentioned her getting away in Saint Denis. Just seemed too convenient. I thought she had a deal with the law to keep her and Jack safe at the cost of the gang. And Micah seemed, as you said, way too obvious. Obviously doesn’t make sense if you know the plot of the first game but it made sense with no other context.

    I love how the whole game you're denied every chance at a satisfying confrontation with any of the main villains. Colm, Cornwall, Bronte and even Milton get unsatisfying deaths that really just leave you disappointed and hollow feeling. But it all changes in the final confrontation with Micah. He's the only one that you get to personally pump full of lead for what he's done and it beautifully releases all that satisfaction that you were denied throughout the whole game.

      I would argue that Bronte and Colm's deaths were both pretty satisfying, at least to me. I would agree that Milton's death was pretty lackluster, though. I would also agree that Micha's was the most satisfying death in the game. No other "final boss" fight has given me the same feeling I got after shooting Micah in the balls 6 times.

    I’m a John Marston fanboy. RDR1 and RDR2 are my favourite games of all time. John is my favourite protagonist ever after Indiana Jones and the epilogue of RDR2 is incredible for me. It’s literally pure fantasy service for us RDR1 fanboys and it’s not rushed or anything. It’s really well done. The full story of John Marston at least for me, is the greatest story in gaming.

    The epilogue is the best part of the game, and critical to John as the central protagonist of the Redemption duology. Arthur and Jack are more than meaningful aspects to his life - along with developments of their own - but the John we knew from RDR1 was always there. Less refined and more hotheaded in his younger years, letting his doubts and Dutch's gaslighting cause him to be flagrant and irresponsible, but everything good that we love about him was there and it's good to see those qualities come into fruition. I respect the story's willingness to knock characters down a peg and make things more complicated.

    I agree, the epilogue is peak writing and fiction and every time I see or hear someone talk negatively about it in any variety of way I can’t help but wonder if they even played the same game as me. These people must have far too shallow of thinking if they can’t appreciate the pure bliss that is the epilogue after all the hardship the rest of the game was. And it was damn earned! Love this vid. John is my favorite character and honestly a big reason why I dared to get married at 21 myself, it means a lot to me. The game and my relationship that is.
    Thanks for this trip down memory lane.

  • @k8x97
    @k8x97 3 месяца назад +6

    The Epilogue has some of the most standout moments in the game. Scaling the mountain mowing down Micah's gang as John's theme plays is probably one of the most memorable moments in gaming for me.
    My takeaway after playing it is that it's very good, but I don't necessarily want to play through it on subsequent games because by and large I enjoy playing as Arthur so much more. If you loved the base game, you owe it to yourself to play through it at least once.

    The epilogue is amazing. I just finished it again there yesterday, and i have to say it's one of my favourite parts of the game. Its a wonderful cooldown after the darkness of the end of Arthurs story and it allows you time to visit some of the locations that arthur had impacted and see Johns reflections of that. Its brilliant. The end credits scenes also tie up what was happening between the first and second games.

    Ive always had an idea for Red Dead 3 since I finished 2, Sadie Adler is the main character and you go through her life after the end of 2, you see just how dark her life gets up until she hears about the death of John Marston and she goes to give her condolences to Jack and Abigail, eventually she hears about an outlaw using the Marston name and you find Jack not long after getting his revenge. This leads to Sadie giving her life for Jack so that he can live a proper life out of the outlaw lifestyle that plagued his father and the rest of the gang.
