Welcome to the red dead depression club. It took me days to get over that end to chapter 6. I think I cried through the entire credits after the epilogue too. Great play through!! You will love the epilogue though!!! It's fun.
@@Fusrodah-z3m I took mine for a last ride, cleaned the boy, gave him food and set him free in the wild... Not letting him die without freedom, still hurt tho
I remember seeing him talk about that scene. He was asked what scene was the hardest to film and he mentions how he couldn’t get through one take without getting emotional.
I don't why I do this to myself -- watching so many people play this for the first time. It just breaks my heart all over again. Every time. I just love this game.
I LOVE this quote. My favorite quote of the whole game. It's basically, be the thing you want in the world. But you have to believe in it first. Arthur the whole game never considered himself a good person, but he strived to be towards the end.
@@1polyron1Yes and that’s what Arthur did in the end. He helped get John and his family to safety so they could live a peaceful life redeeming himself in the process.
32:48 "Maybe it's a sign, Arthur..try..try to do the good thing." Do you know how many times I've heard this line of Mary's? How many playthru's I've watched and always wondered "Huh, when did she say that...." To find out that it was said in one of the missable camp interactions and the one where in the beginning dealt with Arthur talking about all the bad things he's been doing. The genius of it now being key insight into Arthur's frame of mind now that he's sick. This was an amazing conversation between these two. Thank you for including it
The ultimate tragedy of Arthur Morgan. A good guy who dedicated his life to one man and in the end, that man repays all his years of loyalty by turning his back and leaving him to die alone
The day is done, the time has come You battled hard, the war is won You did your worst You tried your best Now it's time to rest See the fire in your eyes
Maturing is when you realised Agent Milton is lot more decent human being than Dutch. Twice he has offered the gang and Arthur a way out if they give up Dutch. Yeah, he was ruthless when he had to, but he never lied, did not try to deceive others. He said what is going to happen. Also, for some reason this hit me harder, than my first playthrough. I guess I was younger and I knew about there's the epilogue. I was sad, but I was more angry than sad. Thankfully the epilogue is very chill.
@@Beltboy True. Milton was better than Ross. Without going into details in case she hasn't played RDR1 but Ross is a real snake. Milton did seem to more or less be straightforward.
@@itskiki4979No, he says he enjoys killing our friends which are all outlaws. Let's be real here, we are the bad guys, we're a bunch of murderers and thieves so no wonder Milton enjoys killing us after giving us multiple chances to give up Dutch and dissappear
Thank you for your heartfelt playthrough. I've said it before that I wish Dutch had sat down next to Arthur put his arm around him and simply said "I'm sorry Son" or "Thank you Son". I'm really looking forward to your playthrough of the epilogue. It's worth it to see how this interactive movie leads into RDR1
Wow, I'm speechless 🤯🤯🤯🤯 thank you so, so much. I would've loved for Dutch to try and comfort Arthur in his last moments, but it's obvious that his priorities lie somewhere else 🥲 I'm sad Arthur was all alone when he died.
I understand and agree with the above comments. I was just stating what I WISHED had happened. I just remember the time that Dutch said to Arthur "I was going to say you're like a son to me, but you're more than that" After the moonshine mission with the deputy...How far he has fallen. Micah was the worst thing that happened to Dutch.
True.I don't think the game needed John's epilogue after Arthur's demise.The game was complete after Arthur's ending but it'd have left bad taste in most players' mouths.so as a fan service the developers left John's salvation as the conclusion.But most of us who are truly familiar with RDR knows John's little piece of heaven that was gifted by Arthur's selfless act of kindness,love and Redemption doesn't last very long.
This has been, by far, my favorite rdr2 playthrough on youtube. Thank you for taking us with you on this journey. But it is not over just yet! The epilogue is really good. I recommend you'll play all of it as well.

@@SkrulzieMore on symbolize that he fully redeemed himself. Because when he goes for the money with high honor, the sun only partially lights him up with leaves and trees covering the light.
But his ending ends totally different if he doesn't help John and goes for the money and dies with low honor.His grave is weathered,dilapidated and without flowers and a coyote stands by his grave.Like the coyote is misunderstood and seen as a scavenger of sorts, so too does this reflect the public opinion of Arthur's low honor life.
Arthers last ride always get us all, no matter how many i watch it it gets me right on the feels😢😢😢 Rockstar did ans amazing job with this game. Arthur was a good man RIP
This game broke pretty much everyone who played it… I cried harder than I EVER have playing a game.. to this day I haven’t played a game that felt like this one. This was not just a game but a movie, an experience, a representation of true redemption of the soul, a portrayal of one man seeing another (John) involved with something that wasn’t gonna get him anywhere and was just going to cost him the same life Arthur had hoped for with Mary. Arthur had regrets and pain he carried, he wanted better for John because he knew the cost otherwise because he went through it. All Arthur wanted was for John to not look back…….
i did the same. i played this game knowing ABSOLUTELY nothing about red dead redemption, my only previous rockstar game was GTA 5. and i wanted to try another rockstar game, i started crying on arthurs last ride, and when my horse died, i started bawling, and when arthur died, i broke down, i literally had to walk outside to breathe, i was so heartbroken, no game ever has made me cried so much as the ending of red dead redemption 2
@@Bappster420 there’s not many games that are like that. Not many studios or developers are focused on high production quality story games, we get like one or two of those every decade it seems, so this game rlly is one of if not THEE best game to come out in the past decade… and tbh that’s including the time GTA V came out IMO.
For Arthur’s whole life he lived in constant sadness. Both of his parents died during his childhood leaving him an Orphan who eventually got swept up by Dutch and Hosea. He then had a child who died too soon and also fell in love with girl who broke his heart many times. The only family he had left to love was the gang and even that was falling apart. Even when he knew he was about to die with nothing left he made sure to help others get something he never could have 1:14:51 - This line says it all When he thought john died he really had a look of defeat. All he had worked for almost for nothing
"I gave you all" was a refrain from Molly's poem you could find back in the Horseshoe Overlook camp. I like to think that Dutch recognized it and it caused him to finally start to realize what had really happened and what he had done. Anyway, thank you for this playthrough! And make sure you finish the Epilogue, it's very satisfying and it will heal you (kinda).
I always thought it was a callback to Hosea saying that to him, and that’s what finally hit Dutch, also the slight realization on Dutch’s face when Arthur, who is about to die, still calls Micah a rat. A dying man wouldn’t have any reason to keep going with that if it wasn’t the truth, Dutch realized his mistake and figured Micah was leading Dutch to the Pinkertons and walked away
@@Jimmie_RudolfssonAs Arthur passes away, It is just Unshaken chorus but listed as its own song “Crash of Worlds” sung by one of the songwriters Rocco De Luca 👍🏽😊.
Now you can find Dutch's mother's grave in the Blackwater cemetery. He told us about this when they were out fishing. Go for a trip around the map, try to speak to everyone Arthur knew. Especially old Hamish and Charlotte!
The ending was very sad I’ll never forget it! good play throughs of rdr 2 I hope you had an amazing journey playing through rdr 2 such a great game I’d definitely replay it again!
I'm a few days late to getting some time to finally watch this episode, but I just wanted to say a small thanks for a great series so far! It was almost painful to watch you lose frank and arthur it reminded me of my first playthrough I was also an emotional mess 😭🫠 Keep playing through the whole epilogue, it's 100% worth doing! And it will be a bit of therapy after losing arthur. You survived the worst of red dead depression 2. Sending hugs 🖤
Haha, that's exactly how I felt the first time too! After Arthur's tragedy, I was in shock. The same when you suddenly start playing as John (I didn't even know the first part). I didn't touch the game for several weeks until I was ready to continue. It felt like a really good friend had died with Arthur.
Take all the time you need to heal, personally don't mind to wait a whole month for the next episode. Just wanted to say (no spoilers) that the epilogue starts very slow but then picks up the pace and becomes as amazing as the rest of the game (in some aspects it's even my favourite part)
“This is agent Ross with the Pinkerton detective agency. Put your guns down we have you surrounded.” The moment it was all over. Goosebumps and chills.
2:04:51 And this is why I love watching people's experiences to compare to mine. After everything that happened to Arthur, the fact that I knew he wasn't going to live by the end, it's like I was in denial. No tears. No emotion. Just emptiness. As I sat there watching one of the best story arcs of a character given to one of the best fictional characters I've ever seen, I could only sit there helpless and alone. That will be the last time I ever hear in-game Arthur Morgan alive. This is where his story ended. As the game switched to John, I immediately put the controller down, powered off my ps4 and til this day have never finished the epilogue myself. Now, I eventually did experience the epilogue after weeks/months by watching someone play the game and watching them play the epilogue lol. I just did not feel it. Arthur Morgan is my whole Red Dead experience. At the time I was like if not him, I don't want to play. Thank you so much Prymbra, this was such an emotional journey. I always hate when this time comes because I don't ever want this experience we all are having to stop. Imagine if there was a world where Arthur lived and the game continued and we would still get more gameplay each week. Ah but alas, I guess it wouldn't have the same effect like it has now. Please take any time you need to heal (it's just a game but you know what i mean.) Loved this playthrough through and through.
I get what you are saying and i personally did the same and put the game down for a whole week. But you're doing yourself a mischief by not experiencing the redemption arc of John, wich Is different but by the end of Rdr1 as powerful as Arthur's. Mr Morgan redeemed himself saving the people he had around and giving a chance to live to John, John redeemed himself loving his family and fighting day and night for them
@@fabiog9447 it's been years since i've played rdr2 and i don't really play games nowadays. but like i said i have watched the epilogue on youtube and it's great. many many moments that puts everything in perspective.
You are really awesome at the hand-to-hand combat!! You dodged and blocked everything Mica threw at you! You would have won if the end of the flight wasn't scripted! I've never seen anyone do that well.
I feel with you sweet Jenni, just allow those tears to come! Sending you all the warm hugs to make you feel better! We all went through this together, and we all held out hope for Dutch to come around, but let the epilogue tell the rest of the story! Take some time to rest up and come back when you feel ready! Love you beautiful girl, this has been an amazing journey with you, and Arthur, and Frank! ❤
1st time I watched your stream, looked at that specific moment, your tears plus my tears watching it over and over again, gained my heart, subscribe, love you dear, best game of the time ❤️
After playing this game, I noticed one thing. The moment I discovered that I was terminally ill with tuberculosis, I started giving away all my belongings, money, everything, and I no longer cared about having material things. It's the same in real life, so today I no longer care about possessions, and focus more on my family, love, true happiness and friendship, and cherish that until I die. That's what this game taught me. A true masterpiece.
Many of us had similar reactions at the exact same points that you did, even old men like me. And I've watched a lot of these. Yours was harder to watch than many others. You seemed almost too -- fragile -- to go through it. I hope you come to see it as the masterpiece it is.
had the exact same reaction during Arthurs ride. ive never been more attached to a fictional character ever like I am with Arthur. I feel like I lost a friend. What a fcking masterpiece of a game.
I've been a fan for a long time, thank you for a good playthrough! I have over 200 games in my steam library yet RDR2 has been my favorite game of all time. Nothing was the same after i finished the game. The writing and acting were so good that when Arthur passed away I felt like I lost a friend in real life... I really hope RDR3 is gonna come out soon and I hope it will be just as good as this game
Cried all over again watching this. Must be such a different experience playing this without playing RDR1 first! Losing Arthur is tough but then being back with John is a comfort.
After playing through the scenes of Arthur's death, I felt the way I think most people did. I really had a hard time getting back into it and ended up taking a pause. It's such an emotional experience and wasn't prepared for that kind of experience from a game. I enjoy watching other peoples reactions during their playthrough, it still chokes me up, I think its beautiful.
Your reaction to everything happened mirrored mine so closely. This was the only video game that I've ever had a deep emotional attachment to the protagonist, and thus cried at the end. I think this is how most people feel playing this for the first time. The one thing I hate is that I've played this, because I cannot relive that first time playing it again.
As soon as the scene with Abigail and Sadie played I got tears in my eyes and when the song was playing I was bawling my eyes out. Ive had one playthrough myself and as far as I can remember it was the same thing back then.. Thanks for sharing your experience, I'm glad I got to share it with you!
We're here for u Jenni big hugs 🤗. Arthur Morgan definitely was a good good man he may of done some bad but that doesn't mean he wasn't a good man deep down it jus took him getting TB to realize what a truly amazing man he was a badass outlaw wit a heart of gold he & Frank are reunited riding in an endless golden field forever. RIP Arthur & Frank play the epilogue Jenni it will heal ur broken heart. Ride on Cowboy Ride on ❤
This is one of the best playthroughs of the game on youtube. You should try using the chewing tobacco. It refills your deadeye and fortifies the core. It's also really cheap at the stores, so it's easy to keep it stocked up.
How embarassing. You had me shedding too many tears for the hundredth time, especially towards the end of Arthurs story. I love how invested you were, it still hurts me.. Arthur is the best and this game is my all time favorite.
Well, it finally happened and way too soon I knew what was coming and watched you, like a lamb to the slaughter, be pulled through the gauntlet of the games finish, a slap in the head followed by another and another with no time to process, recover or even gather your senses between the blows. It was rapid, harsh and brilliant with you also brilliant, operating at times on pure instinct, senses overwhelmed. I feel strongly that the sudden push into twenty minutes of the epilogue is ill advised and I actually hated that choice though I understand why they did it. I longed for the chance to stop at the end and grieve, recover and gather myself. I thought I was robbed and feel that you must have felt that way. I am glad there is a full epilogue though i find it a wholly different, good but lesser game without Arthur being more than a memory. I loved, and I mean really loved taking this truly epic journey with your lead and am sure the adventure with John will be interesting and fun as you explore this new experience. Thanks for lots of adventure, emotion and discovery on the way. 🙂
It's both gut wrenching and beautiful. In the end...his soul was clean...and he took on the form of the stag...his spirit animal...to carry on to the ethereal plane.
I have played this game through 3 times and cried like a baby every time in the scene where Arthur passes. Hands down one of the best games of the past decade, The story line is amazing.
This game draws you with Arthur and start loving him then it rips your heart out. They knew what they was doing. It is a great game I still play after all these years.
The horse scene broke me in a absolute way, I'm from Mexico, and we believe that if a loved animal/pet of yours dies before you and you're sick or in a terminal state, we used to think that pet is going to "clear all the way" so you can go peacefully and be with your dear friend. When I saw that scene for the first time, it broken 'cause I knew Arthur was about to die :(
I've never seen that sweet conversation with MaryBeth. Such an emotional journey with a game and story that just hits different than anything else I've ever played. Lovely job Jenni, looking forward to the Epilogue whenever you feel like jumping back in (took me at least a month to pick the game up and finish it out).
Best RDR2 Video I ever watched! It is looong and real, best quality and it shows your first impressions like we want to see. It is Gold! I will watch it from the start next. I hardly could believe you did this till the end, so proud. Nothing more needed after this one. Rly love this Vid
You think about it, the reason Arthur never spit or coughed on Micah when he fought him was because he didn’t want him to go through the same thing he had to go through
I have just completed this story today as well then I hopped on RUclips rewatching Arthur’s death scene when I can’t help it but shed tears watching it.RDR2 story is amazing!
It's even more heartbreaking and more sad when you spend so much time with Arthur Morgan from doing everything and i mean everything in the game before playing as John Marston it hits so much harder because when you're spending so much time playing as Arthur Morgan by doing all the side missions doing the stranger encounters and exploring the map and everything else it ends up hitting you way more harder and it gives you a more of a deeper experience playing the game And the emotions end up being much more stronger and that's something that I have understood when playing the game myself because it hits you much harder than it normally would when not doing every single thing in the game.
I like watching reactions to this game. It's the closest I can get to experiencing it all again for the first time. Your reaction was very sincere. Thanks for sharing! 😊
Howdy Prymbra, Yes, this game brings out ALL the emotions. I too, was devastated losing my horse my first playthrough. Seeing you cry, made me cry ,Again. You did give me a chuckle this episode, using your Varmint rifle in battle ( .22 caliber, for small animals. lol. ). You have now opened up a new map to explore ( after a few main missions is better ). All my other playthrough's, I sell my main horse's ( to give them a good life ) before the the last Dutch mission, and use a new horse I barely bonded with. Not sure if you explored enough around the Mysterious Hill house ( your editing skipped by that part ), check all over the hobbit house and just a little north of it is another mysterious area to find ( this is a Prime location. lol ). Be sure to watch all the end credits of this game ( more story being told ).
The actor that played Dutch had so much trouble with that last scene. He's on record saying he would start crying every time he walked away from Arthur as he died. A story that makes the actors actually cry is an amazing thing.
I’ve played a million different games…RDR2 is the only game that has come close to making me feel the way I did with this…rockstar made an absolute masterpiece
That horrible, beautiful moment when we all learned that Rockstar Games secretly hates horses and the people who love them so they made a whole game just to torture them.
My heart is broken.
I have nothing to say except I wish we had more time.
RIP Arthur Morgan.
RIP Frank. 💗
Welcome to the red dead depression club. It took me days to get over that end to chapter 6.
I think I cried through the entire credits after the epilogue too.
Great play through!! You will love the epilogue though!!! It's fun.
Its okay to cry, we all did 😢😢
After you're completely done with this game you should try playing the first red dead redemption. It's a continuation of playing as john
@Prymbra With the experience you, do you agree about the idea RDR2 is may be one of the greatest games of all time made by humanity ?
❤🩹❤🩹❤🩹❤🩹❤🩹❤🩹❤🩹❤🩹
The main rule that everybody learned in the first RDR2 playthrough: never take your favorite horse to the last mission
Learned it the hard way 😔👊🏻
I think its the opposite, I knew and took some random horse, its not the same feeling,and you lose all your horses anyway
It will never hit like Shadow of the Colossus.
@@Fusrodah-z3m I took mine for a last ride, cleaned the boy, gave him food and set him free in the wild... Not letting him die without freedom, still hurt tho
@@Fusrodah-z3m I've learnt to only do the final mission for the Veteran with John so Buell gets to live.
Fun Fact : In the scene when Dutch's leaves Arthur and Micah on the mountain, Dutch's actor Ben Davis started crying after climbing up the mountain.
That is not fun😭
I remember seeing him talk about that scene. He was asked what scene was the hardest to film and he mentions how he couldn’t get through one take without getting emotional.
You can see him getting ready to tear up at 2:04:06
Another fun fact is Return for Money - High Honor ending is Roger Clark's last day on MoCap set.
I don't why I do this to myself -- watching so many people play this for the first time. It just breaks my heart all over again. Every time. I just love this game.
Fr with this game and mafia remastered the ending of those games hurts
I do literally this over and over.. while questioning to myself why I do it too lol..

I like how Arthur never once cough on anybody not even is people that shows how good of a person he was
idk about that, every time he started to cough I was yelling at him “DON’T COUGH ON THE WIDOW!”, DON’T COUGH ON THE NUN!” 😅
Coughing on Micah would’ve made him even more of a good man
I smoke infront micah and cough on him 😂😂
@@bisforbitcoin8202 Micah did not get tb still I just think if Arthur had a chance to cough on Micah he would have tb but he never got anyone tb

"Get the hell out if here and be a god damn man." Out if all the lines in this that one is the one that gets me every single time.

That's The Way It Is is song name. Unshaken is played when Arthur returns from Guarma and ride for Shady Belle.
@IgorBozoki1989 Yeah my mistake 😆. It's also played right when Arthur dies.
That part absolutely broke me 😂😭
@@Jimmie_RudolfssonAs Arthur passes away, It is just Unshaken chorus but listed as its own song “Crash of Worlds” sung by one of the songwriters Rocco De Luca 👍🏽😊.
Now you can find Dutch's mother's grave in the Blackwater cemetery. He told us about this when they were out fishing. Go for a trip around the map, try to speak to everyone Arthur knew. Especially old Hamish and Charlotte!
ive seen the ending like 10 plus times and still cry everytime. i relate too much with Arthur
The Epilogue is the best therapy honestly
Oh now...the moment we've all dreaded. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
this is not a game . This is a EMOTION
amazing piece of digital art
The ending was very sad I’ll never forget it! good play throughs of rdr 2 I hope you had an amazing journey playing through rdr 2 such a great game I’d definitely replay it again!
There's still plenty of game left until the credits roll.
Such an impactful ending Rip Arthur, the last enemy Shall be destroyed.
I'm a few days late to getting some time to finally watch this episode, but I just wanted to say a small thanks for a great series so far! It was almost painful to watch you lose frank and arthur it reminded me of my first playthrough I was also an emotional mess 😭🫠
Keep playing through the whole epilogue, it's 100% worth doing! And it will be a bit of therapy after losing arthur. You survived the worst of red dead depression 2. Sending hugs 🖤
Thank you 💗💗💗 I am definitely never getting over Arthur and Frank, I'm like a grieving widow rn 😔👊🏻
Haha, that's exactly how I felt the first time too! After Arthur's tragedy, I was in shock. The same when you suddenly start playing as John (I didn't even know the first part). I didn't touch the game for several weeks until I was ready to continue. It felt like a really good friend had died with Arthur.
Out of all the playthroughs ive watched, this is the ONLY one where ive felt heartbroken for the player. You brought me to the verge of tears jenni!
"You know, there ain't enough kindness in this world, that's for sure" 😢
Take all the time you need to heal, personally don't mind to wait a whole month for the next episode. Just wanted to say (no spoilers) that the epilogue starts very slow but then picks up the pace and becomes as amazing as the rest of the game (in some aspects it's even my favourite part)
I do love that Arthur smiled at Dutch not leaving with Micha.
That was terrific. Thank you so much for giving us your all.
“This is agent Ross with the Pinkerton detective agency. Put your guns down we have you surrounded.”
The moment it was all over. Goosebumps and chills.
RIP Arthur Morgan 🙏🏾 One of the greatest video game protagonists ever.
That deer in the start of the epilogue is a paid actor I swear, it makes me chuckle every time I see it freaking out in the river.
IT happens in almost everyones game lmao
@@MrFrankEast no fr, it's so funny.
Dude there were 2 of them 😂 I'm crying, this was the WORST I've seen of it and she didn't even notice 😂
@diswazzi1683 lmfao that's funny, I only saw the one💀
2:04:51 And this is why I love watching people's experiences to compare to mine. After everything that happened to Arthur, the fact that I knew he wasn't going to live by the end, it's like I was in denial. No tears. No emotion. Just emptiness. As I sat there watching one of the best story arcs of a character given to one of the best fictional characters I've ever seen, I could only sit there helpless and alone. That will be the last time I ever hear in-game Arthur Morgan alive. This is where his story ended. As the game switched to John, I immediately put the controller down, powered off my ps4 and til this day have never finished the epilogue myself. Now, I eventually did experience the epilogue after weeks/months by watching someone play the game and watching them play the epilogue lol. I just did not feel it. Arthur Morgan is my whole Red Dead experience. At the time I was like if not him, I don't want to play.
Thank you so much Prymbra, this was such an emotional journey. I always hate when this time comes because I don't ever want this experience we all are having to stop. Imagine if there was a world where Arthur lived and the game continued and we would still get more gameplay each week. Ah but alas, I guess it wouldn't have the same effect like it has now.
Please take any time you need to heal (it's just a game but you know what i mean.) Loved this playthrough through and through.
I get what you are saying and i personally did the same and put the game down for a whole week. But you're doing yourself a mischief by not experiencing the redemption arc of John, wich Is different but by the end of Rdr1 as powerful as Arthur's. Mr Morgan redeemed himself saving the people he had around and giving a chance to live to John, John redeemed himself loving his family and fighting day and night for them
@@fabiog9447 it's been years since i've played rdr2 and i don't really play games nowadays. but like i said i have watched the epilogue on youtube and it's great. many many moments that puts everything in perspective.
The moment we've all been dreading 😭 you've done a wonderful job with this game prymbra thank you 🙌 sending hugs and good vibes to all 🙏🌻🐝🌻🐝
"Cough on him, spit on him" - Prymba lost honor xDDDD
Noooo!!! Jenni crying is heartbreaking!!!! 😢 💔
You are really awesome at the hand-to-hand combat!! You dodged and blocked everything Mica threw at you! You would have won if the end of the flight wasn't scripted! I've never seen anyone do that well.
I feel with you sweet Jenni, just allow those tears to come! Sending you all the warm hugs to make you feel better! We all went through this together, and we all held out hope for Dutch to come around, but let the epilogue tell the rest of the story! Take some time to rest up and come back when you feel ready! Love you beautiful girl, this has been an amazing journey with you, and Arthur, and Frank! ❤
you know you have made a good character when even after already beating the game it still makes you cry
1st time I watched your stream, looked at that specific moment, your tears plus my tears watching it over and over again, gained my heart, subscribe, love you dear, best game of the time ❤️
After playing this game, I noticed one thing. The moment I discovered that I was terminally ill with tuberculosis, I started giving away all my belongings, money, everything, and I no longer cared about having material things. It's the same in real life, so today I no longer care about possessions, and focus more on my family, love, true happiness and friendship, and cherish that until I die. That's what this game taught me. A true masterpiece.
Rest easy cowboy!
You deserve that ride into the sunset!
Hope you’re doing okay after all this ❤ RIP Arthur and also Frank she was a good girl.
Still trying to cope 😭🤞🏻 it's very hard to accept that Arthur and Frank are gone
@@Prymbra take a break if you need it. I did the first time I played it and it still gets to me.
@@AnnaDiLiberto @Prymbra Yes please take a break. it's a lot to process honestly
Many of us had similar reactions at the exact same points that you did, even old men like me. And I've watched a lot of these. Yours was harder to watch than many others. You seemed almost too -- fragile -- to go through it. I hope you come to see it as the masterpiece it is.
Tilly and Arthur saying goodbye got me the hardest.
Notice Javier is the only one who doesn’t point his gun at Arthur and John. He just puts his gun towards the sky
had the exact same reaction during Arthurs ride. ive never been more attached to a fictional character ever like I am with Arthur. I feel like I lost a friend. What a fcking masterpiece of a game.
I've been a fan for a long time, thank you for a good playthrough! I have over 200 games in my steam library yet RDR2 has been my favorite game of all time. Nothing was the same after i finished the game. The writing and acting were so good that when Arthur passed away I felt like I lost a friend in real life... I really hope RDR3 is gonna come out soon and I hope it will be just as good as this game
I don't think there's a normal person - man or woman out there who has not cried at this ending.
Agreed. I was a 28 year old hulk playing through for the first time. Cried like a bitch.
@@LiquorAndWh0rz so many people say "it's just a game" but that's also the same people who will cry after a 90 minute movie.
Man seeing you cry made me emotional. What a game.
Cried all over again watching this.
Must be such a different experience playing this without playing RDR1 first! Losing Arthur is tough but then being back with John is a comfort.
Arthur walking into heaven: HAHA, FOUND YA LENNY.” and today’s my birthday.
Happy birthday day
@@PaulArmstrong-tu3he thank you
Tears in my eyes and I'm laughing my ass off at this. 😂
@@justkiddingnotreally4865 that was so funny did you put this game
Happy birthday!
one of the most genuine reactions to the end I've seen so far, you dont hide your face or run to fix your makeup. I love this
After playing through the scenes of Arthur's death, I felt the way I think most people did. I really had a hard time getting back into it and ended up taking a pause. It's such an emotional experience and wasn't prepared for that kind of experience from a game. I enjoy watching other peoples reactions during their playthrough, it still chokes me up, I think its beautiful.
Your reaction to everything happened mirrored mine so closely. This was the only video game that I've ever had a deep emotional attachment to the protagonist, and thus cried at the end. I think this is how most people feel playing this for the first time. The one thing I hate is that I've played this, because I cannot relive that first time playing it again.
As soon as the scene with Abigail and Sadie played I got tears in my eyes and when the song was playing I was bawling my eyes out. Ive had one playthrough myself and as far as I can remember it was the same thing back then.. Thanks for sharing your experience, I'm glad I got to share it with you!
We're here for u Jenni big hugs 🤗. Arthur Morgan definitely was a good good man he may of done some bad but that doesn't mean he wasn't a good man deep down it jus took him getting TB to realize what a truly amazing man he was a badass outlaw wit a heart of gold he & Frank are reunited riding in an endless golden field forever. RIP Arthur & Frank play the epilogue Jenni it will heal ur broken heart. Ride on Cowboy Ride on ❤
This is one of the best playthroughs of the game on youtube. You should try using the chewing tobacco. It refills your deadeye and fortifies the core. It's also really cheap at the stores, so it's easy to keep it stocked up.
How embarassing. You had me shedding too many tears for the hundredth time, especially towards the end of Arthurs story. I love how invested you were, it still hurts me.. Arthur is the best and this game is my all time favorite.
It was one of the most innocent reactions I've ever watched. Yes, we all cried in this mission.
Well, it finally happened and way too soon I knew what was coming and watched you, like a lamb to the slaughter, be pulled through the gauntlet of the games finish, a slap in the head followed by another and another with no time to process, recover or even gather your senses between the blows. It was rapid, harsh and brilliant with you also brilliant, operating at times on pure instinct, senses overwhelmed. I feel strongly that the sudden push into twenty minutes of the epilogue is ill advised and I actually hated that choice though I understand why they did it. I longed for the chance to stop at the end and grieve, recover and gather myself. I thought I was robbed and feel that you must have felt that way. I am glad there is a full epilogue though i find it a wholly different, good but lesser game without Arthur being more than a memory. I loved, and I mean really loved taking this truly epic journey with your lead and am sure the adventure with John will be interesting and fun as you explore this new experience. Thanks for lots of adventure, emotion and discovery on the way. 🙂
It's amazin how a 6 years old game still have so much attention and makes people filled with sorrow.
You probably won’t see this but I think you should play all the mafia games. They’re very story driven much like this game. Love your work!
I will absolutely do that someday! Never played any of them
It's both gut wrenching and beautiful. In the end...his soul was clean...and he took on the form of the stag...his spirit animal...to carry on to the ethereal plane.
I have played this game through 3 times and cried like a baby every time in the scene where Arthur passes.
Hands down one of the best games of the past decade, The story line is amazing.
This game draws you with Arthur and start loving him then it rips your heart out. They knew what they was doing. It is a great game I still play after all these years.
When A game can produce this sort of emotions in you , you know this is a MASTERPIECE !!
The horse scene broke me in a absolute way, I'm from Mexico, and we believe that if a loved animal/pet of yours dies before you and you're sick or in a terminal state, we used to think that pet is going to "clear all the way" so you can go peacefully and be with your dear friend. When I saw that scene for the first time, it broken 'cause I knew Arthur was about to
die :(
I've never seen that sweet conversation with MaryBeth. Such an emotional journey with a game and story that just hits different than anything else I've ever played. Lovely job Jenni, looking forward to the Epilogue whenever you feel like jumping back in (took me at least a month to pick the game up and finish it out).
Best RDR2 Video I ever watched! It is looong and real, best quality and it shows your first impressions like we want to see. It is Gold! I will watch it from the start next. I hardly could believe you did this till the end, so proud. Nothing more needed after this one. Rly love this Vid
That first jump to the horse was epic 😂, great playthrough, no rush, just full enjoyment. Congrats.
Breaking Eagle Flies outta prison is 1 of my favorite missions
You think about it, the reason Arthur never spit or coughed on Micah when he fought him was because he didn’t want him to go through the same thing he had to go through
I have just completed this story today as well then I hopped on RUclips rewatching Arthur’s death scene when I can’t help it but shed tears watching it.RDR2 story is amazing!
They never advertised that this game will probably make you cry
It's even more heartbreaking and more sad when you spend so much time with Arthur Morgan from doing everything and i mean everything in the game before playing as John Marston it hits so much harder because when you're spending so much time playing as Arthur Morgan by doing all the side missions doing the stranger encounters and exploring the map and everything else it ends up hitting you way more harder and it gives you a more of a deeper experience playing the game And the emotions end up being much more stronger and that's something that I have understood when playing the game myself because it hits you much harder than it normally would when not doing every single thing in the game.
Great reaction, Jenni. I’m glad you showed your emotions. It’s how I felt when I played the game.
RIP Arthur
RIP Frank
The look on dutchs face when he finally realized micah was playing him
I like watching reactions to this game. It's the closest I can get to experiencing it all again for the first time. Your reaction was very sincere. Thanks for sharing! 😊
That final ride back, i cried with you Jenni even though ive done it 2 times allready, hits the same again
Howdy Prymbra, Yes, this game brings out ALL the emotions. I too, was devastated losing my horse my first playthrough. Seeing you cry, made me cry ,Again. You did give me a chuckle this episode, using your Varmint rifle in battle ( .22 caliber, for small animals. lol. ). You have now opened up a new map to explore ( after a few main missions is better ). All my other playthrough's, I sell my main horse's ( to give them a good life ) before the the last Dutch mission, and use a new horse I barely bonded with. Not sure if you explored enough around the Mysterious Hill house ( your editing skipped by that part ), check all over the hobbit house and just a little north of it is another mysterious area to find ( this is a Prime location. lol ). Be sure to watch all the end credits of this game ( more story being told ).
I really enjoyed your journey so far!
Arthur's death is always hard to watch.
The actor that played Dutch had so much trouble with that last scene. He's on record saying he would start crying every time he walked away from Arthur as he died. A story that makes the actors actually cry is an amazing thing.
RIP Legend :(
LegendS! Frank is also one 😭💗
Awesome playthrough... As sad as things were, you'll have great memories of Arthur and Frank... Keep going! ☺️
Hello from germany . That was a really good performance . thank you for that . I have played RDR2 ( online / Story ) for over 7300 hours .
Hallo (auch aus Deutschland)! Ich kann 100% verstehen warum du so viel Zeit in dieses Spiel investieren würdest, es ist perfekt 💗💗💗
It was a Hell of a ride. Thank you Prymba
I mean.....it's not quite over yet. C:
We all cried when Arthur got his diagnosis.. And again when he dies. Arthur changed us all. Arthur was a good man surrounded by bad company,
I’ve played a million different games…RDR2 is the only game that has come close to making me feel the way I did with this…rockstar made an absolute masterpiece
That horrible, beautiful moment when we all learned that Rockstar Games secretly hates horses and the people who love them so they made a whole game just to torture them.
