(Spoilers for ppl who haven’t played)
When I was told to play red dead redemption 2 I didn’t think that..
1, the game would be so interesting and immersive. I had a rocky start getting used to the controls ( kept accidentally shooting ppl nd whatnot 😭 or running them over w my horse)but everything just drew you in
2, I didn’t think I’d be going through so many stages of grief. WGAT DO YOU MEAN SEAN, KIERAN, HOSEA, AAND MRS GRIMSHAW DIE??? I was HELLA upset they left Lenny, I was so sad for Kieran, I was angry at Molly for snitching but only to find out it was Micah’s bitch ass, I freaking loved Hosea, BUT MY GIRL SUSANNN😭😭 and then I was heartbroken that Arthur got diagnosed with tuberculosis like oh my god😭I was in denial for so long because i thought SURELY the main character wouldn’t die right? Had to have been a wrong diagnosis, right? Surely.
..
HE DIES ON THE CLIFF WHILE BEING BETRAYED BY HIS FAMILY😭😭 I have never hated a character more than I hate Micah Bell. And people have the nerve to have him as a favorite character. Now for some reason I am iffy on Dutch. For some reason a part of my brain is like.. “if he knew it’d go down like this surely he wouldn’t have let the gang fall apart. Suuurely he’d have a little bit more faith in his son Arthur.” But logically he knew. He had to have. You could see the shift in who his “favorite son” was. And not only that but got Rains Fall involved and got his son killed.
When I first heard about RDR I was like eh just some random western type game. Literally one of the best games I’ve ever played. HOWEVER it was such an odd transition of seeing Arthur in his last moments to suddenly shoveling shit as John Marston😭 like FUCK not only is Arthur dead but now I have to watch horse shit be dumped into a wheelbarrow. I haven’t finished the epilogue but now I’m definitely willing to play the first game. My only real complaint is that I wish Arthur had more missions with Sadie. She is an absolute blast I love her so much
