Never really understood everybody’s obsession with westerns until I played this game. Now it is probably my favourite genre...
You took the blue pill. Congrats!
STUNTS My dad always had westerns on as I grew up. They will always hold a special place for me.
I always loved westerns growing up but i kind fo forget them when i got older and then i played rdr2 and i found that amazing nostalgia again lol
naippes same story mate
STUNTS EXACTLY
“This game takes 40-50 hours to complete” *Laughs in 567 hours played and only 45% Complete*
The main quest? I'm not a gamer and I finished the main quest way sooner than 567 hours. CNET gave those facts, BTW
I meant that I can’t just do the main quests, I always find myself doing stranger missions, buying new outfits, or customizing my weapons. Rockstar has always been good about that
@@cheznoob4307 Yeah, some folks on here were just interested in the main quest. I like the other side quests better, myself.
40 days played and at 97%...
@@TommyTombstone It happens! Great game tho
A fun fact: Arthur's hat was actually a keepsake of his father (even though they didn't have a good relationship). "Arthur Morgan was born circa 1863 to Beatrice and Lyle Morgan. His mother died when he was very young, and his father was a petty criminal and outlaw, who was arrested for larceny in 1874 when Arthur was 11 years old. At some point, Lyle was killed and Arthur witnessed it, donning his hat afterward." That's probably the reason why that very worn leather hat is Arthur's favorite and he wears it despite the weight and weather.
Yeah. But it's not practical to wear it in all weather. The 19th century folks on the frontier were practical. I agree he would have kept it, though.
Only for me to immediately buy a big valley hat like an hour into the game.
You figured it out
Even if different hats would have been more practical sentimental value means you would probably still stick with the hat
Me with a lazy stovepipe
Can confirm this game made me a Wild West fan
That's great to hear.
Same. WILD WILD WEST

@@s.c5714 Nope. Burt Alvord was robbing trains in AZ in 1900 and the AZ Rangers were hot on his trail. Chacon, too, was on the loose. Butch and Sundance as well. NM and AZ became territories in 1912...that was about the time of calm.

Those are rookie numbers in this racket
I have more then 100 hours now I buyed the game in december of past year , now I am in the epilogue trying to do 100 % completion .
indeed rookie numbers! :3
When you get interested in the old west from playing red dead 2
Honestly this game made me watch some old Clint Eastwood westerns I've never watched them before and really enjoyed them.
Watch Tombstone, The Wild Hunch, and Unforgiven!
@@wetlettuce4768 I did the same! A fistfull of Dollars, A few dollars more and the good the bad and the ugly are masterpieces

Yeah, 40-50 hours is about the time it takes to just blast through all the main story missions. You're doing it wrong if you didn't spend at least that much time just screwing around, lol.
Well its better to take time and enjoy all the game that has to offer than to finish it as fast as you can. during my first playthrough, i blasted through the main story missions without doing any side missions or exploring the game itself and now finished the game i gotta admit it kinda ruined my experience.
As a completionist it takes over 100

Something I love about Red Dead 2 is that it felt like a blend of hollywood spaghetti westerns and actual historical stuff, really great!
Thanks!
@European Patriot okay....?
@@dustinakadustin in my mind red dead 2 would be redemtion, but since nobody remembers red dead revolver, redemption 2 has that title now
@@dustinakadustin You especially get that Spaghetti Western feel when playing with headphones on during a gunfight, and you hear those _old_ bullet ricochet sounds. I love it.
@@NaruSanavai yeah they're sweet! Just wish they kept the Wilhelm screams in, they're in the first game and it's hilarious.
When I was younger, I used to hate living in New Mexico but now I looooove how much western heritage is right at my front door
Good!! You have a bunch. Not to mention all the movies filming out there.
This game has greatly increased my love and interest in the Wild Western period. They did an absolutely phenomenal job with this game.
Absolutely.!
@@ArizonaGhostriders This game made me interested in almost every western film .
I think it is not period accurate for the years which is 1899 and 1911.
This week on the Arizona ghost riders Videogames in the old west Now the pioneers didn't have xboxs at the time so they had to settle for Atari2600s

I don't know what this channel is but I'm glad I found it via rdr2
Me too!
Same
I'm not from the U.S but dang, western genre is just fascinating
👍
RDR2 has sparked a HUGE interest for me in the old West. I’ve always thought old gunslinger stories were cool, but this game has be obsessing over the real life nuances to what life was like back then; both for outlaws and regular folk.
Well, I'm glad to hear that. Hope this channel can help you with that obsession some of the rest of us share!
One thing of note on the guns: The relative difference in damage inflicted by the firearms is off. For example, the Schofield is depicted as being more powerful than the Rancher, despite the latter being based on a gun that was capable of firing a more powerful cartridge due to the break-top Schofield having limitations on cartridge pressure. Also, the Volcanic pistol is depicted as being exceptionally powerful, when the real life version was so anemic that even something like a few layers of clothing could prevent the rounds from penetrating deep enough to cause significant damage.
Great info!
Not to mention with the volcanic, it was only in production for roughly a year from about 1851-1852 which makes it hard to believe that it would be so common by the time 1899 rolled around.
@@eddiepiszczek4820 The Volcanic is an odd choice. It was used in another western game, too. In the game I don't believe it's a common gun. I've honestly never seen one in person...yet.
The in game description mentions it is converted from it's propriety rocket ball ammunition to regular brass cartridges which attributes it's higher power. It still makes little sense though.
Exactly! When I carry a shotgun, it's just for style lol... Express ammo in the Schofield is just as powerful...
Your style of comedy is very refreshing
Thank you!
Agreed
And his editing is creative
There is a comment Charles makes in the post-game (few years later), that the thugs have Mausers now, and "technology is moving fast".
Yes.
Thugs got 50 round drums now on a Glock 17 lol 😭
I’ve always been around the old west. My dad raised me on westerns, on stories from his visits to arizona, on john wayne and clint eastwood. But I didn’t really start to appreciate it until the red dead series. It reignited a fire that actually burns hot in me and brought me to your channel, now i love this stuff.
SO glad to hear it.
If you ever notice, there is a fued between two families and a member from each fall in love. It's in relation to the Hatfield's vs mcCoys
Yes!
T.O.K The Omessian King I thought it was Romeo and Juliet
The family's are called the grays and the braithwaites
So Dutch gang vs O’Driscoll in the game represent the actual feud?
@@jonathanraynard8572 no because that's not a love story she's talking about Penelope braithwaite and beau gray in chapter 3 of the game
This game has actually sparked my interest in the old west, and since then I've been binge watching all your helpful and informative videos. Thanks for the great content and humor, keep it up!
Grayson, much appreciated!
watch 3:10 to Yuma, it's a classic
grayson Rothrock same here. I went to my local library and rented some cool western books. thanks rockstar!
Same here, I never understood my Great grandfathers obsession with westerns until now. In the early 80s when I was around 4 or 5, our family would go to his house every Sunday after church to visit and have dinner. I hated the fact that the only thing we were allowed to watch was westerns...lol. However I didn’t realize until playing this game that the Wild West still existed during his lifetime. He was in his late 90s in roughly 1983 and would have been a child during the timeline of this game, a bit older than I was when I watched them with him. I don’t know why it never dawned on me until now, but like many I always associated the Wild West with the early 1800s
Have you played the first one it's okay if you didn't otherwise
The first time I’ve ever actually laughed at someone calling someone a nerd, I didn’t see it coming, kind of like the slap to the back of the head except it didn’t hurt.
Yeah. Trouble with ghosts...ya never see it coming.
This episode is making me wanna try this game.
You should!
Please do!
Do it# it is very fun. Very immersive. Put time aside for it though...
You wouldn't be sorry you did. Great game.
DO IT! you wont regret it one bit!
Would the button down shirt be more excused due to the prevalence of the French/European founded town of Saint Denis within the game?
Possibly. But historically, I've never seen a photo with anyone wearing the coat shirt from that era.
Arizona Ghostriders That May be so but at the same time we don’t have track of every personal life from that century so would that help to make it more uhhhh explainable? Like you don’t unlock the Mauser pistol until after you deal with the Italian guy in the game I believe
Dalton Waddell GODDAMN YANKIES
Yea he said it was at the same time just in different countries and the United States is built on foreigners especially off the coast's cuz that's how foreigners get here so being able to buy them in Saint Dane would make sense cuz it's South like maybe in the Luissianna area which where there is a lot of foreigners in Saint Dani
This just appeared on my recommendations. Really glad it did
Me too!
I've been going on a spaghetti western binge BECAUSE of this game
Good!
Whats interesting. Is that this game serves as a prequel. So it might be preferable to play this before the Red Dead Redemption I
Yes!
But you wouldn’t get all the nods to the first on if you do that.
Which is precisely why I'd like Rockstar to go back and do RDR completely anew, graphics-wise, and keep the bulk of the game identical to how it was previously, so that you could play the two games back-to-back and get the same level of graphical detail. It's one of the few games that is truly worthy of that treatment.
Colton Frederick you’ll get him once you play rdr1 tho
I generally find that when something is deliberately released as a prequel to an existing story, it's best to experience the original first. RDR2 assumes that the player has already played 1. Likewise, much of the interest in the first game is unraveling the story and relationships between John and his surviving gang members, an aspect that's lost on players if they've already played the second.
I want a LOTR rockstar game. With their graphical capabilities, amazing attention to detail and the amazing world made by Tolkien and Peter Jackson would make an amazing game that I would pay easily one hundred for.
Elias Harben no because it has giant spiders in. also the Witcher and elder scrolls dominate that sub-genre
I want a game that at least has quality of Shadow of Mordor but with more role-playing depth.
Elias Harben what is LOTR?
@@1fbgsp Lord of the rings
People would be pretty skeptical of an open world Lord of the Rings sandbox game. Especially due to there being so few successful Lord of the rings videogames.
Wtf! The video is so dynamic, well done dude, props to your editing.
Thank you much!
i killed a guy and took his hat, when I returned to the ranch the kid asked me "you got a new hat pa?" freaked me out
yeah yeah yeah.... it so fun to watch.
This game got me to trade my double action for a single action! I already dressed like a cowboy but after playing this for a while I started leanin hard back to the cowboy life. I'm a cowboy courrier, people seem to love when I walk in and great everyone by tipping my hat and saying "Howdy" (tho I do scare small kids in walmart)
HA! Well, that is still cool.
"40-50 hours to complete" *looks at my 100+ hr playthrough with 70% in the story mode. me: yeeeeeeaaahh...
Some on here would laugh, while others would understand. It's not a race, so it doesn't matter how long it takes to enjoy that game!
I knew you were going to review this game, best video game of the year in my book. I beat the game a few days ago. The weapons that I usually carry in the game are a pair of of custom nickel plated engraved colt peacemakers, heavily engraved Winchester or sometime the Henry, and for shotguns either the 1887 or 1897 Winchester both heavily engraved
Nice!!
I've got a pair of schofields, blackened barrels, brass frames and cylinders, ivory handles with eagles on them, and the metal is engraved with silver inlays
Sweeeet!!
I use the Otis Miller and the Jim Calloway but I only started using them last night before that I was using 2 black Schofields with the most costing engraving and I made it gold and with a Pearl grip and long barrel
I carry Flaco and granger revolver Lancaster repeater dB improved shotgun.
These people riding on the fame of RDR2 are geniuses. I love all things late 1800s, so I subscribed, but this would generate so many potential subscribers.
It could, andt a game about this era is important to spread the interest in the Old West.
I a person who’s never been into westerns, this game has definitely sparked my interest. While playing, I noticed how Arthur and the gang had to live and how everything was back then. Now I’m watching westerns on Netflix and doing some research on the history. Just shows how great this game is.
Its honestly stunning how you could spot these tiny details and point them out, explain when they were used and what for. After this I’m really thinking about watching some of your older videos. Thanks again!
When you are really into this period of history, you pick out things. I picked out more, but Rockstar did a good job of finding things that "could have been" present.
KZhead recommendations is working again
Great to see.
Red dead redemption 1 was what got me into cowboy action shooting. Thanks for reviewing it. Check out the soundtracks for red dead one and red dead revolver also, masterpieces in their own rights.
Yes, they are. Very fun games.
I love playing rootin tootin cowboy shootin aka grand theft horse. Great way to unwind after a frustrating day... you know, those days when you wish you could still just hogtie and rob those that annoy you
@@jordanhicks5131 Oh yes!
@@jordanhicks5131 nah, its different from GTA.
The carcano 1891 was Italian, so ya it probably would have been difficult to acquire one as an outlaw in the states in 1899 but i agree it was mainly there just to add in variety and serve as an upgrade ti the bolt action rifle the player would have had for a while at that point. Fun fact, the rifle still served as the main battle rifle for the royal italian army during the second world war, 50-ish years after its inital introduction
Yeah, I read that. Interesting rifle, eh?
This is so wholesome!! Thanks for the review it makes me happy to see this game receive so much well-deserved praise.
Even as a non-gamer, I wanna play this! Great review, my friend! Hey, wait a minute... Why don’t other videos about the game show a t-rex? LOL!
Glad you like it.
You should get it, probably the greatest game I have ever played. It'll be the best £60 you'll ever spend, believe me!
as a gamer this game is a grate digital experience it looks grate and has a lot of detail built in it that will have you amazed as you find how just how much detail is in this digital experience but as a game it sucks the controls are clunky and take a long time to get use to them the bounty system is not very well explained in game like the majority of the mechanics its left up to the player to figure out how thy all work and intertwine and the time it takes to do anything is just way to long it is a vary slow game it is literally a chore to play so much so it is not fun to play which is key to being a game a lot of the times animations will lock you up and you cant abort the actions that you can actually die from it you allies in mission are dumb bullet magnets so much so that you will fail more missions because one of them died then you will fail a mission because you died and the ending to this game is more drown out and has more false endings then the third lord of the rings movie that everyone complains about for never ending the last 20 hours of this game drag on needlessly the climax has already happened and because this is a prequel most of what is played out in the last 20 hours was already covered in the first game and took less time to cover it playing threw the ending of this game i was literally singing out loud this is the game that never ends it goes on and on my friend some people started programming not knowing what it was and thy will keep on programming just because this is the game that never ends it goes on and on my friend some people started playing not knowing what it was and thy will keep on playing just because this is the game that never ends it goes on and on my friend some people started programming not knowing what it was and thy will keep on programming just because this is the game that never ends it goes on and on my friend some people started playing not knowing what it was and thy will keep on playing just because this is the game that never ends it goes on and on my friend some people started programming not knowing what it was and thy will keep on programming just because this is the game that never ends it goes on and on my friend some people started playing not knowing what it was and thy will keep on playing just because this is the game that never ends it goes on and on my friend some people started programming not knowing what it was and thy will keep on programming just because this is the game that never ends it goes on and on my friend some people started playing not knowing what it was and thy will keep on playing just because this is the game that never ends it goes on and on my friend some people started programming not knowing what it was and thy will keep on programming just because this is the game that never ends it goes on and on my friend some people started playing not knowing what it was and thy will keep on playing just because this is the game that never ends it goes on and on my friend some people started programming not knowing what it was and thy will keep on programming just because this is the game that never ends it goes on and on my friend some people started playing not knowing what it was and thy will keep on playing just because this is the game that never ends it goes on and on my friend some people started programming not knowing what it was and thy will keep on programming just because this is the game that never ends it goes on and on my friend some people started playing not knowing what it was and thy will keep on playing just because this is the game that never ends it goes on and on my friend game of the year this is not their is just to much wrong with it for it to be game of the year thy dropped fun for realism and gamer's don't play games for realism we play them to we play them to have fun and to escape from reality
@@rayzimmermin It seems from the comments a lot of people do want the realism, but only to a point. Like loading and cleaning the guns. They want to do it, but not take as long as in reality.
yes games don't mind realism as long as its still fun once the realism interferes with the fun that's is ware the deal is broken and RDR2 brakes that deal on so many levels its not even fun its just a chore and its not even the loading or cleaning of the gun that is the problem in RDR2 its the cooking mechanics ware you have to cook one piece of meat at a time no batch cooking for Arthur the horse riding ware you hit trees all the time horses will not run in to a tree that's why only videos you can find that shows a horse running into a tree its from a video game even the creators of zelda knew this little fact about horses that why in breath of the wild you cant hit a tree on a house the wanted system is never fully explained and is actually very in depth and needs explanation to fully understand but its never explained how it all works also defending your self gets you in trouble but thy don't get in trouble for attacking you like i was jumped on the road so i killed my attackers another NPC saw this and ran off and reported that i murdered the people who were trying to kill me and i got a bounty or i road up on a NPC looking at a dead body i did not kill but he reported me the person who shows up to the crime scene after he found the body's i did not kill but because he saw my face i got a bounty for people i did not even kill that's how bad the bounty system is and no i could not have killed them and forgot about it because it was the first time i was ever in that area and somehow he know my face and my name to report me for a crime i did not commit like i was wearing a name tag the control scheme is so bad do you press it once tap it repeatedly or hold it thy all do something different and are all contextually based and why is the get on your house button and the grapple someone button the same button so if someone is next to your house and you try and jump on your horse you ether start choking a random NPC or you straight up tackle them to the ground getting you a bounty ( side not im dyslexic and use google to try and make sure i spell things right like control scheme and the first thing that popes up as a suggestion was control scheme red dead 2 that's how bad it is ) its the fact you cant abort actions mid way threw the action once you hit that button you must let the animation play out its the fact that their is 6 different visible stat bars you must keep an eye on and one invisible one each with their own restore item 1 health bar 2 health core 3 stamina bar 4 stamina core 5 dead eye bar 6 dead eye core and the invisible weight meter that's not counting ammo honor gun degradation cleanliness and so on then their is 4 visible stats for your horse and i invisible one each with their own restore item 1 health bar 2 health core 3 stamina bar 4 stamina core and the invisible weight meter that's not counting bonding or cleanliness this game is an exercise in extreme multitasking their is so much to keep track of on a moment by moment basis their is your health stamina dead eye how is your horse health stamina how is your wights are you eating enough how are your weapons are thy clean how is your camp you bringing them food and money you buying them stuff are you tracking down the items thy request because even tho thy can go out and do what you do all thy do is stay at cam asking you to do for them so realistic its the fact that your gang members will step out of cover when their is still people shooting and get shoot and die which fails you the mission the hunting only perfect hides are worth anything finding them is a chore on its own then their is having to know the exact weapon and ammunition to use to get the perfect hide and if you accidentally hit the dead body with your horse or kick it because you pressed the wrong button by mistake it lowers the quality of the hide the legendary animals consist of the same thing find 3 hints that are realy close together then kill the animal and as long as you don't use explosives or shotguns to kill them the hide is always good making it easier to take down a legendary then it is to fined and skin a perfect hide thus making legendary animals more underwhelming then thy should be their is just so much wrong with this game for it to be fun and the longer you play it the more you see its flaws i have completed the main story once with a 84% total completion then i started a new game ware im currently just starting chapter 3 with a 45% total completion so i have more then enough experience with the game to know what it is im talking about what is sad is im having more fun playing threw spyro reignited then i did with RDR2 and its not because its an easier game but because when i fail in spyro i feel like it is my fault because i messed up as ware when i fail in RDR2 all i can blame is the game and how it control's because instead of letting me open my satchel and use an item its grayed out because Arthur is currently in a animation and by time i back out to let him finish the animation so i can go back in and use the item he has died because i could not use the item i needed when i needed to use it or one my other gang members in their wisdom decides walking into gun fire is a good idea also picking what guns i want in my load out on the way to a mission just to find out once i hop off my horse my load out did not equip so i have to walk up to my horse just to get the weapons i already put in the slots i wanted them in before i got off my hose back into the slots i had them in is frustrating or you on you horse using a bow shooting deer and you need to hop of your horse somehow the bow you were just using got left on the horse as you hoped off or you were just using a rifle and you skin an animal and another one you want walks up you thing if i pull up my gun it should be the last gun i was using that's ware you would be wrong because rock star knows deep down inside that you realy wanted to draw was your handgun not your rifle and you shoot a perfect deer with a handgun instead of a rifle and their goes that perfect hide or lets say your mid skinning animation and a bear or wolf attacks and what you realy want is your rifle that you were just previously use but instead of your rifle you first get mauled because you cant exit an animation and the animation of you carrying a pelt make the animation of you drawing your weapon slower but you also default to your hand gun which is not vary effective against bears and wolfs if i don't stop now i could keep going forever my point is this game has to many probables to be fun all relating to them trying to make it to realistic
Uncle plays Space Invaders?!? Learn something new every day :D
HAHA!
although your guy looks way younger than Uncle, just to be clear :))
@@ericsbuds He's in the early stages of lumbago
I didn't know you existed! Now I do! And now I'm subbed! Isn't it amazing how murder, thievery, and banditry in video games bring us all together?
Yeah! Tomorrow is a follow up to this one. Please catch it!
this is the level of nerdiness I came for. excellent attention to detail and accuracy
Thank you so much!
Good job for embracing this new form media and its story, I know a lot of older people don’t acknowledge gaming as a history storytelling vessel that it can be. So it’s nice to see you talk about it:)
I keep seeing people commenting similar things, it's not like the guys in his 80's haha
Lol how’d you get uncle and Dutch to feature in this
I know people.
Thank you for this! I've been waiting for a video like this since this game was released.
Thank you!
this video is too wholesome for my heart, thank you
woah! i totally wasnt expecting you to review this! pleasantly suprised! i used to play the old game all the time, and i fricken loved it. im obsessed with the genre and im a bit of a cowboy myself anyways. ive been playing rdr2 nonstop for a couple weeks now. its great! not always perfectly accurate, but its probably as close as a triple a game is gonna get. i even put together an outfit i thought at least looked a little more accurate from afar with the buttons only halfway down and a white big valley hat with some batwing chaps. i should upload a video in the getup sometime. thank you for makin this video! loved every second of it!
So glad to hear it.
Hope this isn’t the last time you visit Red Dead Redemption 2. Red Dead is the reason I subscribed to your channel a while back. Great video but I wanted much more.
Oh, I'm sure I'll do more, but with a FT job it's hard to make a longer video.
I remember getting interested in the wild west when I was 7, by watching for a few dollars more. Lee Van Cleef became my hero, and I always wanted to experience the wild west. Playing a game like rdr2 sure gave me that feeling.
That is a perfect reason for getting interested. Similar to my own.
Now THIS one I liked. Very informative, it's as though you weren't pressed for time. A loo so love your comedic touch.
Thank you!
It's uhh actually not exactly a western, it is about the last days of "the west" and how the idea of the wild west was dying. The entire game is actually spent running east/northeast. The hat thing you mentioned? Well the gang didn't plan on going to the snow they were forced up there so he didnt get time to prep for clothes he just had what was on the caravan. Some of the little critiques are actually related to the way story unfolds in the same way as the hat. But a fun watch this was.
Thanks for your input.The gang getting caught in the storm is sort of understandable,...yet they had coats. It wasn't a critique about the winter so much as the material the hat was made of.
True The gang wasnt prepared for the storm but not because of clothing, but because of food and medicine If they had both of those, the storm wouldnt be so bad
@@ArizonaGhostriders I think Arthur wears that hat because it used to be his fathers, so he would wear it no matter the weather
Yeah it’s the later part of the frontier age, but it’s 1899. It was still 12 years before rdr1 takes place, which is still considered a western.
So it's the Wild Wild East?
I liked and subscribed, no kidding! I was very impressed with the RDR2 and I have always liked old western memorabilia and history. Thank you for doing this!
So glad to hear it!
GREAT VIDEO DUDE I’m glad someone did something like this there’s something great about knowing how accurate your favorite games are!
Nice to know they did good, eh?
I love any channel like yours who take their subject matter seriously but present it in a light hearted and well mannered way.
Much appreciated.
I like how frequently the word "folks" is used. It kinda has a western/rural touch to it
Instantly charmed by the light hearted humor! You got a new subscriber!
Thank you. It's our thing!
I had no idea this channel existed, but now I will binge all of the videos.
Thanks!
Just bumped into your channel a couple days ago and well. 'Became a subscriber immediately'! My love for the Old West goes back to my childhood like most. The Old black and white shoot em ups and the singing cowboys. But all that is a long stretch from reality. When I really started learning about 'The Real West', the romance just grew out of control. Anyway, love the fact versus fiction in this great era, that you provide, and will continue to watch. You guys stay cool and 'Watch your top knot'. ...And yes, 'I play RDR2', and love it... Thanks👍
Glad to hear it! We try too keep it interesting and educational.
I watched 3:10 to Yuma a couple of days ago so you know I’m rocking the duel wield schofield revolvers
You go, Charlie Prince!
This popped up in my suggestions. Man have you earned a subscriber. Also, although I'm a foreigner Arizona is my favorite state. Hugs from afar!
Thank you! Welcome!
Remember Ohio is the worst state. They steal land from smaller states and and have the worst sports team in not only the US, but the entire world. You can trust me because I'm from Michigan the state Ohio stole from.
@@trentn1127 well politically yeah, but it's a really beautiful state when it comes to natu- wait the fires killed everything. You're right it is the worst state. Ohio's a close second though.
@@trentn1127 I lived up in Northern California for about two years with my aunt and uncle when I about 15. The mountains we're beautiful (A little bit terrifying to drive on)This was right after gay marriage was legalized so the state wasn't as crazy and in fact where I lived was basically the opposite of the south politically. In fact there was a segregation sign in a town in el dorado county that said no colored people allowed. Of course it was a null law and black people were allowed in, but the city refused to take it down asserting it as a historical monument. People were understanbly outraged and I'm not exactly sure how the situation ended.
Loved this video and glad to say it ignited my interest in the old west and I’ve been trying to find some good movies to see! Keep up the good work from Dundee, Scotland
Thank you! Appreciate the comment.
This game did indeed spark an interest in old west things for me. Great video!
Thanks!
Great video! I did a mission where you’re bringing a criminal back to be the first human experiment for the electric chair and Arthur goes into graphic detail about stumbling across a field after a storm and finding cattle that had been struck by lighting. They def didn’t skimp on research on writing for the most part
They did a great job.
Not sure if this has been said already, but Actually, It kinda makes sense for the Mauser to be in the game. Later on, when it appears, The gang gets into a bit of trouble with a man named Angelo Bronte, Who’s an Italian businessman. It would kinda make sense for him/his bodyguards to have Mausers.
Good point!
That was actually how I acquired my first Mauser.
El Matador Yup same here.
Alex Ovi Angelo bronte has a Mauser if you loot him bud
Gavin’s Friend hence why I said ‘For him/his bodyguards’.
I just found your channel and I already love it! Glad to see how much effort Rockstar put into the game and it’s accuracy.
Glad you enjoy it!
That was FUN to Watch..Nice Editings..
I was always a fan of Western stuff. Not a hardcore fan but I enjoyed it. Gunslingers and wanderers were always an interesting topic for me, so if I may, i would like to ask you a question Are gunslingers an actual group of people? Meaning; when gunslingers walked around towns, they were called gunslingers? Or they were just folk with jobs like lawman that were real good at shooting? And if they job was to be gunslingers, they got paid? Lawman just let them pass? Another quick question: would you consider Rdr2 a game that could be use to learn a little bit from Western USA? If I say to my friends stuff like “The double barrel shotgun was common on that time” would I be correct? Cuz I aint an expert on USA since i am not from there Sorry for the long comment, good video, i really enjoyed it!!!
Yes on the double barrel shotgun. Gunslingers were called shootist, gun-toters, gunmen, pistoleers...a whole lot of titles. Many were vets from the Civil War that had skills with guns and made a living out of using them. Lawmen, outlaws, hired guns (range wars, private detectives, bounty men, etc)
@@ArizonaGhostriders I understand now, thank you for the reply!
This game is set in 1899 so that means the c96 mauser IS plausible to own. Pretty hard i imagine but possible none the less.
Definitely is plausible, but I haven't seen many period photos in the Western US depicting folks wearing them. Since photos and documentation is provenance from the period, it's hard for me to say they were common. But....I keep looking!
Arizona Ghostriders that is a good point! And i loved the video btw! Could you perhaps do a part 2 to this video since all this western stuff is really intriguing and i would love to know what else rockstar games got right and what they got wrong? I mean from clothing to way they speak..whatever! Ever since i played the original Red Dead Redemption i've been really interested in the 19th century america from the weapons to how they got their food! And you seem to know your stuff so i'd be interested in more. Greetings from Finland!
@@Fl4m3tu5 Thank you and yes I will. Let me get some more recorded gameplay and I'll pick it apart!
Arizona Ghostriders hell yes! Thank you! You just earned a subscriber!
Especially the C-93 Borchardt
Absolutely loved this channel then slowly drifted. Recently made an account for the first time, and the algorithm brought me back. Swiftly subscribed
Thank you!
Great video! One of my all time favorite games!
Good of you to show a clip from my favorite tv show lol
Mine too. I actually met Dan Haggerty a couple of years before he died. It was amazing to meet him.
@@ArizonaGhostriders wow that would have been amazing,I've seen him in a few interviews and he seemed like a cool guy
@@johndoe-uz2kc He was. Here I was, at an event to do a show all dressed in outlaw attire, and got to meet a hero from my past. Man, I couldn't speak. He was a truly nice man.
I can officially say that this game has grown on me too much
Naaaawwww!! Never too much.
@@ArizonaGhostriders yep
One of KZhead's recommendation hidden gems. I'm very glad to find this channel. I hope you have as much fun playing the game like I did!
Thank you.
This was a good video, I'm very curious to see further reactions to the rest of the game! Have to give props to KZhead's algorithm for pointing it out to me. Hope you've continued to enjoy it!
I'll be coming out with another one this weekend on RDR2. Keep your eyes open for it.
A Good video.Thanks for enlightening me on that fine looking western game. cheers & hope all of U at Arizona Ghostriders had a Good enjoyable Thanksgiving
Appreciate it!
I've always liked westerns, but Red Dead rekindled my interest in the frontier, and that's how I found your channel! Cool to know you play it too.
Welcome and enjoy!
I enjoyed this video very much.... loved the funny parts a lot! I love also the fact comments even get an answer even when just a short one and I think that's priceless. I just can't wait to see a final review when the game is over! Keep up that ride, cowboys... Yeeeee-haw!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
Well santee, actually I am a gun enthusiast or as you may call it in old west gunslinger...but sure am not going around shooting people, so I was looking for a game to fill the long quarantine hours so I stumbled upon RDRII and honestly, I got caught up by this amazing game and actually I was researching the history of spurs while I was playing this morning and that's how I came across your channel, and I've been watching your videos for a couple of hours now, and I rarely pause my game on weekends so great work the game got my attention about the western part of the American culture and you actually convinced me in an indirect way to pay the state of Arizona a visit, so you guys are doing a really great job -chapeau bas-
Bob, I certainly appreciate that. Thanks for watching and enjoy the heck outa that game. Today's video is on Schofields!
Gotta admit I prefer spaghetti westerns for the most part, but Red Dead 2 is just an absolute masterpiece overall. Genuinely epic. I just wish there was a way for non gamers to enjoy the whole story, they could watch videos but then they'd miss on all the details and choices that make the player bond with Arthur so much which gives the story so much impact
the story is just literally amazing. and yes, you would miss a crap ton by watching the cut scenes.
I usually associate the term “spaghetti western” with the style of cinematic music pioneered by Ennio Morricone. Red Dead is filled with it, especially during the mission horse rides and gun fights.
Red Dead Revolver is a Spaghetti Western
@@deadcaliph6414 Redemption 1 is kinda one too
The game has been incredible, extremely Immersive and very hard to put down. Rockstar really took their time with it and the quality shows. Like your videos pure quality! i wish i knew how to record my ps4 to the computer for youtube. Great video!! Absolutely well done as always. Have a wonderful weekend and Happy Thanksgiving
Thank you, Brendan
@BrendanTheGent Even without a capture card, there should be an option to stream directly to a streaming service from your console. From there, you can grab your recording off of the recording site. You can even just stream to KZhead if you wanted to have it on KZhead.
@@NotStephenColbert i appreciate the info i will look into it, im still learning all of this. Thank you!
@@BrendanTheGent Not a problem! I'm always happy to help.
@@BrendanTheGent use the share button and you can save up to 15 mins of clip and upload it to youtube or you can stream from i believe twitch and youtube im not sure
Thanks, this was actually really interesting, it is super impressive how far they went to get this game right
Yes!
I just love the channel. Grazie!
You're welcome.
Love this game and you were dead on in the video. This game is very solid and Rockstar really wanted to make it accurate.
Thank you for noticing and supporting!
I've been thinking about doing a video on the guns of Red Dead, might be a good opportunity for another collab.
That'd be cool. I have no idea about the 'Volcano pistol', I think, in the game, and that would be interesting to see some information on.
@@MrPaul-bn9cl It's a rare gun now, but a lot of games use it. Not sure why.
You know I'm game, Duke.
The volcanic pistol is one of my favorites. Would of loved to have seen cartridge converted civil war era revolvers though. I wanted a 1847 walker to make a appearance.
Joshua Baker, just wait til it’s out for pc and people start modding. You’ll get your wish for sure
Ran across this channel from recommended, and I love it. I'm a bit of a blooming western buff and your content, comedy style amd editing are great. I'm subbing!
Thank you very much!
I love this game so much! And your review is sooooo good. Thank you!
Thanks!
Very good and funny review i love it good job.☺
Im so glad this was requested to me
Good!
Great video man! Covering one of my favorite series while adding in some learning material. Definitely wasn't expecting that youd be a fan of the game. Very wholesome to watch. You've earned a like and a sub from me.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Number 1 is something I actually never really noticed in the game thanks for the information
You're welcome.
I thought this was going to be cringy but this was amazing. You earned a sub my friend
Thank you.
Came here to say the same thing. Great video!
This was the absolute best and funniest game review I've seen, it made my day! Cheers, love from Japan!
Thank you!
my love for red dead redemption 1 really got me into the western genre and the history of that time period as a whole it would be interesting to see you cover that game too if you havent already, either way very nice video
I would like to one day.
Alright, now that. That was entertaining, it was to the points, it was clearly and concisely voiced and it stuck to both the good and the bad of the game in a way that was entertaining and non biased. That. That was a good video.
Thanks.
