I miss when I was totally addicted to RDR2. When you are mid game and just everything is fantastic. What a journey! Thanks Rockstar (if anyone should read this..)!
I haven’t played since probably a little after Online released, and recently I’ve been opening the game, walking for a minute, then closing it. Two days ago I said screw it and started a new game, and my life is gone again. This game sucks you in like no other; it’s an incredibly immersive and surreal experience. I don’t know how to describe it, but I literally feel like I’m actually the one that’s living Arthur’s life, but not in a video game sense, a real one, like it’s all actually happening. No other game has come even close to giving me that feeling. Sometimes I’m actually glad I have work solely because I could play 16 hour sessions and not even realize it’s been 16 hours lol. Easily the best, and probably will forever be the best, video game and video game experience I’ll ever get, and I don’t think I’m lying saying many others feel this way too. This game will be seared in my mind for forever, I think. Born too late to explore the world, born too early to explore the universe, but born just in time to be able to have this little portal into an intoxicatingly beautiful world.
@@funkguylorz7315 I understand you perfectly well. I felt so devastated after Arthur's death, like it was somebody I really knew, somebody really close to me. And I was surprised by this reaction, so surprised that I discussed it with my therapist 😅 In general I am not a gamer. This is the first game I ever played on x-box (because my boyfriend urged me to try). And I decided that this will be the only one 😅 I don't want to play anything else, 'cause I know that this one is the best.
The reason why this game is so immersive is that all the sounds are coming from a real source in game. Rustling in the grass will be from some small creature. The howls from coyotes nearby. The train is actually passing in the distance. Hooves from travellers on horseback. Wind in the trees. It's all happening for real in game. I haven't ever played a game like it.
I always remember this from the very first rdr2 trailer reveal. The next line would be.. Arthur: " this is over", then you would see the gang riding together as one off in the distant sun ... incredible. ..!
This game feels so real. To the point where I can almost smell the burning wood. I can feel the wind in the trees and the spray of the waterfall. I want nothing more than to live here. And only here
Yep. I just starting playing this game and then i find myself at fishing, hunting or just walking around and looking at this beautiful fields for 3 hours. Serious.
As the story progressed and things started to crawl towards a finale, I found myself roaming the fields and planes by myself more often ... alone, on one of my favorite horses, Queen. I had nothing to do but there was nothing in particular that I wanted to do, either. I just took it all in, cause I was afraid of things coming to an end. I haven't returned to camp ever since. My favorite spot were the lavender fields down at the Little Creek River. I roamed them up and down as I watched the clouds change color when the sun set. As the night settled and my fire burnt down to embers, I packed my things and reached one end of the valley's backs. I turned around once more, and before my eyes the white silhouettes of horses appeared down in the valley, ghostly hazy in the moonlight. Three of them like snow, and one pitch black, it was just a roaming dark speck between the bushes. The piano at 14:15 was playing, one of my favorite quiet parts. It ran shudders up my back. The horses started trotting away down the river neighing quietly, ever faster than me on foot, cautious as not to spook them. It took so long to catch up that I was afraid I would loose them. I ended up finding the black horse at dawn in the nearby woods. She was the most beautiful thing I had seen, her coat throwing back the sun's early light with a blueish sheen, so I called her Shimmer. I knew that moment that I would keep her close to my heart and make her part of the select few that I couldn't sell over the months, despite the constant flux of horses in and out of my stables. I have no more space left there, but I am a dying man and I've seen my share by now. Maybe I'm coming to an end.
hahaahah I had an exact same experience at he exact same location. Walking through that valley makes you feel so alive and free with nature, its definitely my favorite place in the game. Although I was walking there and was admiring a dear in the mere distance when suddenly a wolf runs out of the bush and kills it.
R for Respect hes a good man but sad how he got caught up with all of the violence and eventually the mess Dutch caused killing people when they shouldn't been they still followed his plan until the end at the final camp. Why didn't Arthur leave sooner I do not know.
@@GentlemanGaming1122 Actually, Dakota was probably Dutch's most loyal follower, following him into all his blood bath for a "better" world, even going to the point of taking over his gang once he died. Dakota, despite being with him "only" 4 years and being the leader for 3, was like Dutch's 3rd son.
@@herredward9277 thank you for telling me that never knew that. I hate the low honor ending just seeing the wolf dreams and the wolf with the thunderstorms scared the life out of me. It isn't perfect but RDR2 is a good game.
Personally, I have been listening to this on my TV most evenings with the lights off, all dark. Just me, my whisky, the music, the fire keeping me warm and the cold, cold moon howling back at me... dark times... but we shall push on, push forward.

It often goes unnoticed that the two entries into the Redemption franchise have had a profound effect on people that spans far beyond the emotions it evokes while playing or the fond memories it provides. I was fortunate enough to grow up, work upon and come of age while living on my family's ranch. The morals, traits and ethics that were instilled within me could not have been attained had I been raised elsewhere. And yet as I grew older, some of these things lost potency and some began to fade like many things do when we become overburdened in the rat race of life. Redemption was a wake up call for me. While being emersed in the atmosphere, beauty, pain, strife and excitement of both games I felt my senses and my old self becoming reinvigorated. My lust for the wilderness and spending time in nature was ignited. My curiosity and profound respect for wildlife and animals of all shapes and sizes was reborn, twice as strong as before. My long standing interest in American history was re-awakened and became more fervent than ever before. The most amazing thing is I am not alone. I have noticed similar changes in others who were blessed with the experience of playing both Redemption games. I can only hope that we will see another entry into this epic franchise during our lifetimes.
Wow, you're so right. I also grew up on a farm and have lived in a city for most of my adult life, and what you're saying really rings true. Playing this game felt like a deep, deep itch was being scratched. Well said.
I usually hesitate to use the word masterpiece, because people often associate it with the most perfect game ever. But RDR2 is a masterpiece through and through. Everything feels like so much love and passion was put into it, it truly is a masterclass in modern video game storytelling, design, and immersion, and I don't think any other game will match up to it, at least not for a while.
Sadly the online part was treated so poorly because of GTA. But not a day goes by where if I want to relax or enjoy a day with my friends we will ride across rdr2 from Saint Denis all the way to tumbleweed. Up through mountains down by the lake and into all the animals along the way just our horses and the sound of our travels.
@@dolphintropics4448 i personnally never fast traveled ..the immersion of the game always made me ride my horse wherever i was going and sometimes before i reach my destination i will have so many encounters... Best game ever..
The moment you know RDR2 is a masterpiece is when you dismount your horse to look at the scenery and the horse walks in front of you and takes a big crap.
I have never been more wholly invested in something until I played this game. As many others have said, I wish I could forget the story and play it fresh once more... the first time experiencing it was like reading the best book.
I finally bought RDR2 a few weeks ago, and the atmosphere and world is some of the best I've ever seen. Just taking a deep breath as I ride my horse as the music chimes in, it's so relaxing. Thank you so much for making this.
Just finished my second play through of the story and it was even better than the first, make sure you take your time and not rush through the stories, the amount of side missions and random things you can do is insane
Dont finish the game , some places are active during different chapters so best to explore in chapter 4 , enjoy the side missions bro and beware of the swamps and the Abirdeens
Imagine it's night and you're in grizzlies all alone in complete solitude, you're sitting in your camp while warming your hands by the fire surrounded by snowy trees, you have your hot coffee and as you're drinking your steak is being prepared which you got from hunting a deer the early day. You hear the subtle cold wind pass by and as you're sipping your coffee you feel a chill go down your spine, you take a relieving gasp, for that moment everything is good in the world, you eat your steak and finish your coffee, you go to sleep and in the morning you wake up to go hunt again life is simple life is good.
A few times during the story i would go to town, get supplies and go up in the grizzlies. I would just set up camp and chill there. I listend to the soundtrack and to the nature around me. Call me crazy, but this game is alive. And it’s beautiful....
Hard to believe its already been over 2 years since experiencing this game. I was so hooked on the story I honestly played it too quickly. Most certainly a game I wish I could experience for the first time again.
No matter the ambience I listen too, this is the only video that can put me to sleep. Which to be honest isn’t even that surprising! I remember when RDR2 was released and I was sat watching my brother play it; an ethereal experience even if you wasn’t playing the game. RDR2 will always be my comfort
Still playing and about 96% finished as a full time mum... I only play every so often ... on the months I don't play I chill to these songs and reminisce
So cool to hear! Last year, I finished the main story and only did two missions in the Epilogue and stepped away. Trying to stay away from spoilers but am really enjoying taking my time as Arthur and am only in Chapter 2 🔥
Red Dead 1 and 2 literally at random times I'll just grin and be like "gah this game is awesome" The music and just vast openness of them is unmatched to me. The atmosphere and tone of these games is movie quality. Easily my favorite story in gaming.
this isnt just a game ...... this is a very deep special story movie of how life was and will be...... it teaches so more morals ...... it can get your feelings ...... and it can let its touch carved in your mind RED DEAD REDEMPTION
Rdr2 was such a cathartic experience for me, I was going through some dark times when it came out sadly. But by being able to fully immerse myself into this beautiful world, my life got a whole lot better. It will forever be my favorite game of all time.
Same man. Was going through the worst panic attacks of my life. Thought my life and the world was ending. Family was falling apart. Everything seemed bleak but this game grounded me. It calmed me and ultimately made me appreciate the hardships and the calm moments of life. I will always hold this game close to my heart.
I bought this game in March at the beginning of Quarantine, Because I finally had the time to play it. It consumed my waking hours for days on end. It will forever be one of my Favorite Games. Sometimes I just sit on my horse in the middle of the woods and listen to the Music and just vibe.
Certain parts of this game feel like, revisiting your pleasant aspects of childhood in a dream. The exploring, the food, the canoeing and fishing...the night sky and country air of it. Even some of the bird songs, take me back.
i think what gives this game so much replay value is that it’s genuinely like living inside a story. you get to know the gang members to the point where you feel like you know them, and when they’re gone, you miss them. as the game progresses, it becomes smaller. this causes players to reminisce, whether about old camps, fun missions, and even fallen comrades. by the time most players finish, a lot of them feel something that can only be described as nostalgia for the “happier days” of the gang, and go start a new playthrough. with each new game, players appreciate and linger longer. we all know what’s coming, so we try so hard to relive the good old days of the gang during our replays. it sounds so corny, but this game is so immersive and beautiful. i went through a really, really tough time a few years ago, and this game got me through it.
RDR2 was a pure masterpiece. Best video game I have EVER played. My son and I played the story at least 3 times and loved it every single time. Honestly I never thought a game would become a part of us as humans like this realistic life story did, telling significant stories of times past when life was rebellious and free. Thank you RockStar!
This music reminds me the time when I used to have a duo, we used to play the online every single day, hunting, killing randoms and doing the daily missions... I really miss him
And in the distance, across the snow-capped peaks, through the ponderous trees, over the heads of grizzly and deer alike, they say you can still hear the wind whisper: "Lennnneeyy"
I like this. It's like you're isolated in a big warm room alone. Dark wooden floor, a big carpet I the middle with a desk and three four chairs and a big chimney in the wall and middle. I can really enjoy this peace.
You’re Arthur Morgan. It is 11:30 PM after a long tough day of doing errands, looking after the gang and dealing with people standing in your way, you stop along the path, you decide you need to rest. You want a break away from everyone, away from everything. You unmount and take a deep breath, you gather some fire wood and start a fire. You sit there, taking time to reflect on what happened so far. You admire the night and the gorgeous nature around you, then your eyes start to feel heavy. You try to stay awake, but you can’t. You lay down in your tent, your face towards the fire. You slowly close your eyes, the warm orange color of the fire fading away as you drift off...
I remember when I saw the first trailer of Red Dead Redemption 2 . It popped up as a youtube ad around midnight . I didnt even know they were working on a new Red Dead , yet I was so excited to see a new Rockstar game . Oh boy I had no idea what I was going to walk into . I wont forget it anytime soon .
Best game ever. I’ll never forget the long nights playing this game. Then when the pandemic happened, I got hooked once again. I don’t know if I would’ve survived Covid without red dead. Great times..
@@Nevermizzinzz I'm going slow with the story, not only bc there are various side quests, but I also got some spoilers and wants to enjoy this game 100%. Btw i'm on chapter 2, i did the quest where me and another one (forgot his name) kill everyone in strawberry lol
I know a lot of people don’t like the online but I think it’s great for the atmospheric stuff like this. Playing the game as this silent, lone outlaw who just roams from town to town, doing bounties, robbing, and then setting up camps way off the main roads and just sitting at your fire listening to the windy trees and flowing river, it’s amazing. And doing it with no hud? Perfect.
Still having them for myself, even after nearly 2 years of playing. Just the other day i stumbled across Kierans grave for the first time.... poor fella
I remember the first horse I ever forged a bond with. As soon as I could, immediately after leaving Valentine behind, I explored. Explored as much as I could. I wandered the hills, valleys, rivers. Visited towns and climbed mountains. The world was mine to explore. I had just finished getting some supplies in Blackwater. I set up a camp and slept through the night under the stars. When I woke, fog had settled over the land. The sun's rays pierced this fog in magnificent shafts of light. I looked around me as I ate my morning meal, taking in the beauty of the scene as the breeze softly brushed the grass back and forth, like waves of shining water. And then I saw the herd. Horses, walking carefree across the plains. A beautiful Paint caught my attention. He was at the back of the herd, looking at me as I was at him, with curiosity and wonder. I began to slowly walk towards the herd, circling around it towards the back, towards this horse which had so captivated my attention. The rest of the herd moved away from me as I approached but the Paint stayed where he was, watching me curiously. I reached him, took out my rope and mounted. He bucked and kicked for a while, but eventually settled down. I called him simply 'Paint'. He was my friend and companion until the very end. This music reminds me of everything I played RDR2 for. The journey it took me on. The game changed me, something I hadn't expected. Thank you for the reminder of one of the best experiences I've ever had.
Rdr is so immersive i feel like i may have lived through the 1890s. The crisp cold of night, the wind blowing through the trees, the pale blue moonlight shining before you, the faint scent of smoke, the distant sound of wolves, the clinking of spurs against stirrups as you ride...Never have I felt so alive in a game. I played it through once...the second time I couldn't bring myself to end it all. Such was the beauty of this game
I am currently only on Chapter 2 of the game. I love it! The way it makes you feel as if you are really in the Wild West. The ambience, sound design, music, acting, graphics, all of it creating something special. I can't wait to see what happens next in the story of Arthur Morgan.
Please can you do music and ambience of The Jasmine Dragon (Uncle Iroh's tea shop from Avatar the Last Airbender). They have an amazing sound track and you could add amazing sounds like tea stirring, pouring, whiteware clinking, coins, customers mumuring, Iroh's voice...
just playing this game and listening to this ambience, puts me in that time period when I close my eyes. I wish this was a true story and there really was an arthur.
HOME RUN! I’ve been searching for the perfect ASMR video to fall asleep to. I like that it is dark tones. I like that the low, slow quiet music that simulates binaural beats. I like that there is no rain or a lot of water sound that I will think that there is leaking in my house while asleep. I like that the fire crackle is low and doesn’t overwhelm so I think my house is on fire when I’m asleep. ❤️
True masterpiece. I loved riding slowly through wilderness for a few day night cycles and setting camp going to hunt bringing it back, cooking and then taking bigger hunt and pelts back to the camp.
Sitting at a patio in a housing program sometimes means when taking off to work you dont always get breakfast so it really makes you appreciate the eggs sausage bacon and coffee you do get...very western. Pray for Texas by cotton smith is a good book. Couple campfire moments I picture in my head as if in rdr and well many other moments I think of the scents smells and tastes of the Old West what we didn't have back then but also what we did..
there was something so beautifully peaceful about this game, yet to me it didn't just feel like a game. I rushed through the story line so eager to find out what the ending would unfold but it wasn't until I took my time in online, alone, to look at the true beauty of the game. I am yet to go go back and replay the story with every stranger mission, but nothing takes my breath away more than taking the time to just engulf in the true beauty of this wonderful game.
I bought this game when the second lockdown started at the end of 2020, just before the christmas holidays. When it arrived, I played for three days straight. I just couldn't fathom how a game could be THIS immersive. I remember riding into Valentine for the first time thinking: ''How am I supposed to do all of these quests in one lifetime?'' XD My answer was simple, play for three days straight. So far I've done two playthroughs, still discovering new things. During my second playthrough I realized I hadn't even covered the entire map in my first playthrough. I bought a second hand xbox one x for my second playthrough, wanting an even better experience than on the ps4. 4K HDR10 display, ambilight, surround setup and all the time in the world. Man, what a time to be alive.
The exploring theme hits different i don't know why, whenever I hear it I just get flooded with memories of when i used to explore everywhere and discover little easter eggs or quests
Makes me somehow dream myself into a better time, without social media, smartphones, even the internet, and so much more things. When pure human feelings, emotions and bindings were much more valuable and not everything was superficial and artificial..
After chapter 6 it took me almost a year to play again and finish The epilogue (because I was too hurt to play). This game is hardwired deeply inside my heart.

It often goes unnoticed that the two entries into the Redemption franchise have had a profound effect on people that spans far beyond the emotions it evokes while playing or the fond memories it provides.
I was fortunate enough to grow up, work upon and come of age while living on my family's ranch. The morals, traits and ethics that were instilled within me could not have been attained had I been raised elsewhere. And yet as I grew older, some of these things lost potency and some began to fade like many things do when we become overburdened in the rat race of life.
Redemption was a wake up call for me. While being emersed in the atmosphere, beauty, pain, strife and excitement of both games I felt my senses and my old self becoming reinvigorated. My lust for the wilderness and spending time in nature was ignited. My curiosity and profound respect for wildlife and animals of all shapes and sizes was reborn, twice as strong as before.

and became more fervent than ever before.
The most amazing thing is I am not alone. I have noticed similar changes in others who were blessed with the experience of playing both Redemption games. I can only hope that we will see another entry into this epic franchise during our lifetimes.
🤠👍🏻
Wow, you're so right. I also grew up on a farm and have lived in a city for most of my adult life, and what you're saying really rings true. Playing this game felt like a deep, deep itch was being scratched. Well said.
i hope and pray we do see another entry.
I usually hesitate to use the word masterpiece, because people often associate it with the most perfect game ever. But RDR2 is a masterpiece through and through. Everything feels like so much love and passion was put into it, it truly is a masterclass in modern video game storytelling, design, and immersion, and I don't think any other game will match up to it, at least not for a while.
this game is like 10 years ahead of its time
Sadly the online part was treated so poorly because of GTA. But not a day goes by where if I want to relax or enjoy a day with my friends we will ride across rdr2 from Saint Denis all the way to tumbleweed. Up through mountains down by the lake and into all the animals along the way just our horses and the sound of our travels.
@@dolphintropics4448 i personnally never fast traveled ..the immersion of the game always made me ride my horse wherever i was going and sometimes before i reach my destination i will have so many encounters... Best game ever..
The moment you know RDR2 is a masterpiece is when you dismount your horse to look at the scenery and the horse walks in front of you and takes a big crap.
I have never been more wholly invested in something until I played this game. As many others have said, I wish I could forget the story and play it fresh once more... the first time experiencing it was like reading the best book.
The charm of the game for me was the second play through. It’s bittersweet
I finally bought RDR2 a few weeks ago, and the atmosphere and world is some of the best I've ever seen. Just taking a deep breath as I ride my horse as the music chimes in, it's so relaxing. Thank you so much for making this.
same, it's so much more awesome than I thought it could be
Just finished my second play through of the story and it was even better than the first, make sure you take your time and not rush through the stories, the amount of side missions and random things you can do is insane
Dont finish the game , some places are active during different chapters so best to explore in chapter 4 , enjoy the side missions bro and beware of the swamps and the Abirdeens
It’s like an instant hit of dopamine for me. So relaxing.
i’m glad man
Imagine it's night and you're in grizzlies all alone in complete solitude, you're sitting in your camp while warming your hands by the fire surrounded by snowy trees, you have your hot coffee and as you're drinking your steak is being prepared which you got from hunting a deer the early day. You hear the subtle cold wind pass by and as you're sipping your coffee you feel a chill go down your spine, you take a relieving gasp, for that moment everything is good in the world, you eat your steak and finish your coffee, you go to sleep and in the morning you wake up to go hunt again life is simple life is good.
Then a pack of wolves show up and the damn horse runs away leaving you alone to deal with the hungry beasts.
@@user-ic4oh4lt5r lol that too
This is the life I want…. So badly.
@@user-ic4oh4lt5r or the fucking bounty hunters appear from nowhere
Now imagine doing it in real life...done it and it's so much more magical
Whoever disliked this is *_NOT goin' to Tahiti_*
yeah, they better forget them mangoes
Such a magical place.
Nobody's going to Tahiti I'm afraid
A few times during the story i would go to town, get supplies and go up in the grizzlies. I would just set up camp and chill there. I listend to the soundtrack and to the nature around me. Call me crazy, but this game is alive. And it’s beautiful....
It’s like its own small universe within my Xbox.
@@dustinpowell6507 that's nice
Hard to believe its already been over 2 years since experiencing this game. I was so hooked on the story I honestly played it too quickly. Most certainly a game I wish I could experience for the first time again.
The music at 3:20 New Hanover theme is just something else. It takes me to my deep memories with my dead wishes, I get feelings no one can feel.
No matter the ambience I listen too, this is the only video that can put me to sleep. Which to be honest isn’t even that surprising! I remember when RDR2 was released and I was sat watching my brother play it; an ethereal experience even if you wasn’t playing the game. RDR2 will always be my comfort
My god, this game is so nostalgic. Probably still my favorite game. Still miss Arthur too. :(
nostalgic? its not even 3 years old lmao how old are you ?
@@anakinskywalker7960 it doesn't matter how old the game is
@@canObeans4we nostalgia means something different as you age, you will see
I get what he said no need to be a shitbag
@@Linus1871 This comment is 2 weeks old omg it makes me feel so nostalgic to read back over it
Played this game during Covid. I will never forget how it made me feel.
Still playing and about 96% finished as a full time mum... I only play every so often ... on the months I don't play I chill to these songs and reminisce
So cool to hear! Last year, I finished the main story and only did two missions in the Epilogue and stepped away. Trying to stay away from spoilers but am really enjoying taking my time as Arthur and am only in Chapter 2 🔥
@@blitzball4lyfe823 have fun and enjoy the rodeo!
Red Dead 1 and 2 literally at random times I'll just grin and be like "gah this game is awesome" The music and just vast openness of them is unmatched to me. The atmosphere and tone of these games is movie quality. Easily my favorite story in gaming.
It’s trippy how we’re all the same
Fuck yeah bro this game is bad ass
this isnt just a game ...... this is a very deep special story movie of how life was and will be...... it teaches so more morals ...... it can get your feelings ...... and it can let its touch carved in your mind RED DEAD REDEMPTION
Greatest Game of All Time
"We can't change what's done, we can only move on" -Arthur Morgan
I feel that quote deeply.
Rdr2 was such a cathartic experience for me, I was going through some dark times when it came out sadly. But by being able to fully immerse myself into this beautiful world, my life got a whole lot better. It will forever be my favorite game of all time.
Same man. Was going through the worst panic attacks of my life. Thought my life and the world was ending. Family was falling apart. Everything seemed bleak but this game grounded me. It calmed me and ultimately made me appreciate the hardships and the calm moments of life. I will always hold this game close to my heart.
For a game like this, $60 is a steal.
Listening to this after a long day of staring at a blank page suddenly made all the ideas start to work. Can't thank you enough!
"jog the mind" a brain in motion will stay in motion lol
Arthur: ok , let's sit by the fire and sing
@Robert Pounds It's soft and round like a pussy cat !
@Robert Pounds That's what you call the Ring-Dang-Doo.
it's crazy how this game actually invokes so much emotion for so many players
I bought this game in March at the beginning of Quarantine, Because I finally had the time to play it. It consumed my waking hours for days on end. It will forever be one of my Favorite Games.
Sometimes I just sit on my horse in the middle of the woods and listen to the Music and just vibe.
you're alright boah
what a man, what an accent 🤏🏻
*calm horse noises*
Certain parts of this game feel like, revisiting your pleasant aspects of childhood in a dream. The exploring, the food, the canoeing and fishing...the night sky and country air of it. Even some of the bird songs, take me back.
i think what gives this game so much replay value is that it’s genuinely like living inside a story. you get to know the gang members to the point where you feel like you know them, and when they’re gone, you miss them. as the game progresses, it becomes smaller. this causes players to reminisce, whether about old camps, fun missions, and even fallen comrades. by the time most players finish, a lot of them feel something that can only be described as nostalgia for the “happier days” of the gang, and go start a new playthrough. with each new game, players appreciate and linger longer. we all know what’s coming, so we try so hard to relive the good old days of the gang during our replays. it sounds so corny, but this game is so immersive and beautiful. i went through a really, really tough time a few years ago, and this game got me through it.
RDR2 was a pure masterpiece. Best video game I have EVER played. My son and I played the story at least 3 times and loved it every single time. Honestly I never thought a game would become a part of us as humans like this realistic life story did, telling significant stories of times past when life was rebellious and free. Thank you RockStar!
This music reminds me the time when I used to have a duo, we used to play the online every single day, hunting, killing randoms and doing the daily missions... I really miss him
My girlfriend and I fell asleep to this while she was laying on my chest. Best feeling ever
Anyone else here in 2024? Just started a new play through. I'm ready to get hurt again.
Love red dead
@@zachkahn3381 me too
Me
And in the distance, across the snow-capped peaks, through the ponderous trees, over the heads of grizzly and deer alike, they say you can still hear the wind whisper:
"Lennnneeyy"
Good one, you had me laughing
I like this. It's like you're isolated in a big warm room alone. Dark wooden floor, a big carpet I the middle with a desk and three four chairs and a big chimney in the wall and middle. I can really enjoy this peace.
I love listening to this while in the hospital recovering from a serious case of lumbago. 😢
😂 was that a game reference?
You’re Arthur Morgan. It is 11:30 PM after a long tough day of doing errands, looking after the gang and dealing with people standing in your way, you stop along the path, you decide you need to rest. You want a break away from everyone, away from everything. You unmount and take a deep breath, you gather some fire wood and start a fire. You sit there, taking time to reflect on what happened so far. You admire the night and the gorgeous nature around you, then your eyes start to feel heavy. You try to stay awake, but you can’t. You lay down in your tent, your face towards the fire. You slowly close your eyes, the warm orange color of the fire fading away as you drift off...
Perfect my friend
I really love when the train comes by, such a nice and familiar sound.
Reading this while train on my right ear, awesome
I remember when I saw the first trailer of Red Dead Redemption 2 . It popped up as a youtube ad around midnight . I didnt even know they were working on a new Red Dead , yet I was so excited to see a new Rockstar game . Oh boy I had no idea what I was going to walk into . I wont forget it anytime soon .
RDR2 Story Mode is truly amazing. I've spent hours just wondering around with my horse, doing nothing and it was so peaceful.
Best game ever. I’ll never forget the long nights playing this game. Then when the pandemic happened, I got hooked once again. I don’t know if I would’ve survived Covid without red dead. Great times..
Oooh yeah! This will make a lot of people happy! Including me :)
Freaked me out that. I use your avatar as the image from one of the characters for my novel.
Mark Mullen Haha, wow. That’s cool! She must be a special character :)
I thought this avatar was so pretty. Good luck with your novel!
@@queenvictoriann Well actually she's a bit of a harlot. Haha. But thanks.
Mark Mullen Good lord, I was way off!
Lol, just kidding and no problem!
Sometimes I go out wondering: hunting animals, exploring and camping in story mode. It’s a great experience.
I wish i could experience both rdr games for the first time again 😢
This is the perfect background ambiance. I use it while in online school and it helps me stay focused during dry lecture.
I started playing rdr2 only a few days ago and I love it, super excited with the story!
How far are you now❤
@@Nevermizzinzz I'm going slow with the story, not only bc there are various side quests, but I also got some spoilers and wants to enjoy this game 100%.
Btw i'm on chapter 2, i did the quest where me and another one (forgot his name) kill everyone in strawberry lol
Micah, and good luck!! Take it slow
I know a lot of people don’t like the online but I think it’s great for the atmospheric stuff like this. Playing the game as this silent, lone outlaw who just roams from town to town, doing bounties, robbing, and then setting up camps way off the main roads and just sitting at your fire listening to the windy trees and flowing river, it’s amazing. And doing it with no hud? Perfect.
Yep
this game is the only one i never once used fast travel for when given the option because i loved riding around in the game so much.
My god I love this game - on my third playthrough right now. The 'Exploring Theme' @ 13:00 was always so haunting - gave me chills
The Big Valley (Strawberry) theme
I don't think anyone loves this masterpiece more than me
this game is a masterpiece. I'd happy pay $100 or more for rdr3
Reminds me of all the great times I had playing rdr2
Still having them for myself, even after nearly 2 years of playing.
Just the other day i stumbled across Kierans grave for the first time.... poor fella
This is one of the main reasons i play this game, the ambience is really amazing
I remember the first horse I ever forged a bond with. As soon as I could, immediately after leaving Valentine behind, I explored. Explored as much as I could. I wandered the hills, valleys, rivers. Visited towns and climbed mountains. The world was mine to explore. I had just finished getting some supplies in Blackwater. I set up a camp and slept through the night under the stars. When I woke, fog had settled over the land. The sun's rays pierced this fog in magnificent shafts of light. I looked around me as I ate my morning meal, taking in the beauty of the scene as the breeze softly brushed the grass back and forth, like waves of shining water. And then I saw the herd. Horses, walking carefree across the plains. A beautiful Paint caught my attention. He was at the back of the herd, looking at me as I was at him, with curiosity and wonder. I began to slowly walk towards the herd, circling around it towards the back, towards this horse which had so captivated my attention. The rest of the herd moved away from me as I approached but the Paint stayed where he was, watching me curiously. I reached him, took out my rope and mounted. He bucked and kicked for a while, but eventually settled down. I called him simply 'Paint'. He was my friend and companion until the very end.
This music reminds me of everything I played RDR2 for. The journey it took me on. The game changed me, something I hadn't expected. Thank you for the reminder of one of the best experiences I've ever had.
RDR2 is a piece of art, no doubt about that and its soundtrack it's another proof of how manigficent it is.
"This mix is amazing, there are really some beautiful songs in here.
"
I miss the feeling of playing rdr2 for the first time :(
The exploring theme will always be my favorite. I love stopping my horse wherever I am and just looking around.
Until a deer runs into me.
God this was such a good game
Rdr is so immersive i feel like i may have lived through the 1890s. The crisp cold of night, the wind blowing through the trees, the pale blue moonlight shining before you, the faint scent of smoke, the distant sound of wolves, the clinking of spurs against stirrups as you ride...Never have I felt so alive in a game. I played it through once...the second time I couldn't bring myself to end it all. Such was the beauty of this game
I am currently only on Chapter 2 of the game. I love it! The way it makes you feel as if you are really in the Wild West. The ambience, sound design, music, acting, graphics, all of it creating something special. I can't wait to see what happens next in the story of Arthur Morgan.
Best to savor that time. Play it as slowly as possible.
Please can you do music and ambience of The Jasmine Dragon (Uncle Iroh's tea shop from Avatar the Last Airbender). They have an amazing sound track and you could add amazing sounds like tea stirring, pouring, whiteware clinking, coins, customers mumuring, Iroh's voice...
Now that's a great idea!
Please I beg you
Yeah I love that place
noice
just playing this game and listening to this ambience, puts me in that time period when I close my eyes. I wish this was a true story and there really was an arthur.
currently in hospital missing playing RDR2 at home. thank u for this, it has really helped me :)
Imagine sleeping while hearing the fire, what a relaxation!
Yes
This helps me sleep 1:28:36 thank you for uploading this
HOME RUN! I’ve been searching for the perfect ASMR video to fall asleep to. I like that it is dark tones. I like that the low, slow quiet music that simulates binaural beats.
I like that there is no rain or a lot of water sound that I will think that there is leaking in my house while asleep. I like that the fire crackle is low and doesn’t overwhelm so I think my house is on fire when I’m asleep.
❤️
True masterpiece. I loved riding slowly through wilderness for a few day night cycles and setting camp going to hunt bringing it back, cooking and then taking bigger hunt and pelts back to the camp.
These times seem so much easier.
Only God, man and free lands to wander on...
Can one know that he is in his good old days, before they pass?
Idc tho it would be better then these days
Just today have I discovered for the first and last time ever that I will sleep a perfect 8 hours until morning
This music, make u feel like a legend.
Sitting at a patio in a housing program sometimes means when taking off to work you dont always get breakfast so it really makes you appreciate the eggs sausage bacon and coffee you do get...very western. Pray for Texas by cotton smith is a good book. Couple campfire moments I picture in my head as if in rdr and well many other moments I think of the scents smells and tastes of the Old West what we didn't have back then but also what we did..
This reminds me of my boys in BSA camp outs they always seemed to love it
My wife and I fall asleep to this video every night. Wish it was longer
My husband loves this game. He'll get a huge kick out of it. Thank you. :) Really hope you see this comment - I would love Home Alone for Christmas.
there was something so beautifully peaceful about this game, yet to me it didn't just feel like a game. I rushed through the story line so eager to find out what the ending would unfold but it wasn't until I took my time in online, alone, to look at the true beauty of the game. I am yet to go go back and replay the story with every stranger mission, but nothing takes my breath away more than taking the time to just engulf in the true beauty of this wonderful game.
The part with the guitar is just so relaxing. Played this game on launch and completed it. Thinks its time to do another playtrough again.
I bought this game when the second lockdown started at the end of 2020, just before the christmas holidays. When it arrived, I played for three days straight. I just couldn't fathom how a game could be THIS immersive. I remember riding into Valentine for the first time thinking: ''How am I supposed to do all of these quests in one lifetime?'' XD My answer was simple, play for three days straight.
So far I've done two playthroughs, still discovering new things. During my second playthrough I realized I hadn't even covered the entire map in my first playthrough. I bought a second hand xbox one x for my second playthrough, wanting an even better experience than on the ps4.
4K HDR10 display, ambilight, surround setup and all the time in the world. Man, what a time to be alive.
First game where I was walking instead of running asap. Walking and admiring it's beauty.
The exploring theme hits different i don't know why, whenever I hear it I just get flooded with memories of when i used to explore everywhere and discover little easter eggs or quests
I'm using this to do homework, I like to pretend I'm journaling in a sunny field in New Hanover instead of doing calculus
Lol same
Makes me somehow dream myself into a better time, without social media, smartphones, even the internet, and so much more things. When pure human feelings, emotions and bindings were much more valuable and not everything was superficial and artificial..
Learning every day with this masterpiece
After chapter 6 it took me almost a year to play again and finish The epilogue (because I was too hurt to play). This game is hardwired deeply inside my heart.
"Many thanks Mr. Morgan!"
“I have some ideas of some improvements for the camp me Morgan”
