Ex-Mob Boss REACTS to Red Dead Redemption 2 | Van Der Linde Gang - Hry
I love how he appreciates the graphics
Shit the game will forever hold up bro even the RDR1 game too lol.
@@MODERN-GAMING-IS-TRASH truth.
No shit, game is incredibly beautiful
still is no game today to surpass on details RDR2
i doubt GTA 6 will surpass this and im not talk graphics , always GTA is arcade type , not realistic one
arguably the best looking game of all time, I don't think even in 20 years rdr2 will look bad compared to what's new
I love that Dutch's plan just goes sideways from the get go. Kinda like how most plans go.
Yea because of Micah
It went at a nice pace, showing the end of the wild west and encroaching civilization and law, and the closer they got, the more desperate and irrational Dutch became
@@recorepro Not all, some dutch fucked up like it was planned to be fucked
@@TheOneManWhoBeatYou micah was sabotaginh dutch everytime.
"Dutch always has a plan" -John Marston
I honestly would love to see a native who's well versed in American history react to Rains fall and his tribe. It would be interesting to see how accurate they were portrayed in the game with the added context of a tribesmen giving insight on the thoughts and feelings of his people during this time
This!
I plan on doing that someday. They're Lakota so it's better to get a Lakota though I'm Mohawk put it this way i know more about their culture than most non natives but less than a Lakota themselves. There s no Wapiti tribe but RF and EF are both Lakota Nation cause of th language spoken. I think Rans Fall might be personally based on Red Cloud while his son is more like Crazy Horse
@@northeastokwari1889 lemme know if you actually do the video, I'll check it out
Yea would be cool, too bad we killed all of them
Edit: there seems to be some confusion, i was joking here. I just know we killed alot of them in the past
Unrelated but Idk what tribe my mom's dad is from but ngl we need more games like AC4. The sheer energy I felt playing that....
Ex-mob boss reacts to Angelo Bronte's mob would be amazing.
Get him and a cowboy/historian together. That mini-storyline is all about old crime (rural riders) meeting the emerging, future way of crime (urban, suited goons). Would be interesting to see a clash of ideas/attitudes on both game and experts
@@metafication yeah, I think they showed very little about Angelo's Bronte mob. There is plenty of things to show over there. Also Mafia 3, which he never reviewed.
It would be interesting to hear him talk about the mob before Luciano's time.
I really thought that's what this was. Seems to make little sense otherwise. Still fun to see his reactions but it's unrelated lol
@@aveteranplayer6403 SHUT UP DONT LET HIM WATCH ANYTHING ELSE
“I’d rather be loved than feared”
His reasoning behind that is awesome. Love watching this stuff!
"easy both, i want people to be afraid of how much they love me" - Michael Scott
Finally someone who understands Machiavelli’s quote. “Better to be feared than loved *if you can’t be both.”*
Fear makes people leave, love makes people get closer and stay.
As of rn, 96 likes, so eciN
Makes sense. People would turn on a monster if they saw a chance, but a person you trust and respect has a moment more of hesistation.
I love how Michael sees one scene with Micah after the bank job goes wrong and he's like, "Yeah, he gave them up." I've always been on the fence on the "was or wasn't Micah a rat" debate, but I think his immediate assessment closed it for me.
he actually didn't give them up until after guarma
@@houseofaction We have no idea if that's true. It's a theory with some weight, but we don't know for sure.
@@houseofaction but ever since Micha joined PERIOD the gang was always running behind the Pinkerton's
@@craig2196 That's because they kept shooting up every town and robbing every place they came in contact with. The pinkertons were searching for them constantly and the gang made it easier for them by being idiots. Micah didn't rat until after Guarma, that was confirmed by rockstar devs.
@@Triple-Four you really find it a coincidence that the second Micah joined Dutch started losing it? Also proof would be great. Link preferred.
He just made me realize.. What if Rockstar did a Mafia game.. holy crap I could 100% see that happening down the line and it would be so good. Nobody would expect that.
...
Uh
...
Anyone gonna tell him?
@@nsahandler nah but they do need to remake LA.Niore
@@nsahandler Rockstar hasn't made a game yet that's directly about the Mafia.
"Nobody would expect that"
Except from you, apparently
@@ok9908 You work for the mob in multiple GTA titles, and play AS a mobster in Liberty City Stories as well as Vice City. Believe or not, GTA V isn't the only GTA game that exists.
This is an unexpected surprise. Franzese has adjusted well despite being 70 years old
Dude ages like wine
@@Heyhowareya97 His presence highlights the importance of taking care of your self even in old age. That and his genetics are top notch.
I know right? Dude carries himself like he's in his 40s
Lol he looks 55
He is 70? He looks like he is 50 lol
I wish they'd given Michael a bit more info about the scenes he was reacting to, especially the scene at the Braithewaite manor. Even gangsters would balk at the idea of kidnapping a 4 year old over a personal dispute.
@@user-ph3ji8gp3pI think he would’ve had something interesting to say if he knew they were pinkertons. Wish I could’ve known his reaction to that
The Cosa Nostra in the U.S. - you're mostly correct. In Italy, or when talking about other mafia organizations like the Camorra and 'Ndrangheta...not so much, especially the former as the Camorra killed an estimated 200 children in Italy during the '90s. More recently, the Pope spoke directly to the mafiosi in 2014 about asking them to "stop doing evil" after the targeting and murder of a 3-year-old boy.
Met this guy in July . He’s a slight man, 5’7 probably 130lbs. But his eyes and aura are intimidating no doubt . He’s the real deal
And should be in jail
Wtf is this hunter X hunter? Never liked when people type or say the word "aura" UN ironically 🤣💯
@@josiahgonzalez942 its just a synonym for a persons vibe, energy, etc. Its how we can tell certain people are bad to be around, and some are good.
@@Pause-ta with just one word " aura "
Wouldn't want to mess with him. He's got dat experience for sure
Video games are an under appreciated art that is becoming more and more recognised as a medium to tell a powerful story. He said he likes westerns, and as westerns go RDR2 has a great story.
RDR2 isn’t just a great western, it’s one of the greatest stories told in a game period. Along with arguably the best protagonist a game has ever seen in Arthur Morgan
I hate to bring this conversation to this particular game, because it was so well made and everything, but I think because players are actively involved that games can get away with fairly rudimentary stories and be considered narrative masterpieces without much effort. This _can_ happen with movies and I imagine literature too, after all, it has always mattered at least a little bit more how a story is told than what it contains.
The story seems pretty safe to me as far as Rockstar games goes. The characters play their expected roles and don't really deviate from them. It feels like they reinforce the same points over an over, just in this one game, but up to and including rehashing the ending from the first Red Dead Redemption.
I mentioned in the comments of a completely different video that the basic plot seems like it got a trial run in GTAIV's "Lost and Damned" DLC. Even though that almost seems _less_ safe to me because it has such a downer ending but they don't kill the protagonist at the end.
I don't know. It's obvious I'm in the minority by being disappointed, and normally I wouldn't care but I think my biggest pet peeve is Rockstar never lets a story unfold. I don't know how many hours it takes to finish RDR2, but It would've been more interesting to me to see Dutch perhaps go from charasmatic, ideological revolutionary to a volatile gangster in love with the smell of his own farts. As it stands getting a whiff of his own farts is pretty much what we can assume he's always been about despite some disputed words to the contrary. If anyone thinks "well it's clever they let players decide for themselves" imagine how much more clever it would be if you showed us the gang at the height of their loyalty to Dutch, and we were _still_ in a position to decide for ourselves.
Look at this way, in the first game Dutch suggests that Abbigail was a prostitute who slept with every member of the gang, even if the prequel retains the basic backstory of Abbigail's prostitution (I don't remember anything about it) they don't _really_ paint a picture of a gang were that scenario seems even remotely plausible. That's the kind of thing I mean when I say "safe"
Also the graphics does it justice for old timers like him. No way he could look at say play station 1 graphics and enjoy it the same from spectating. Playing it of course is different.
I don’t even know if rdr2 can be just considered as a western at this point
@@radicalman7304 the first and second parts of the story are western for sure. but once they move into the city the western theme is gone.
"If I needed a gun, today... I'd have whatever I wanted." Something chilling about that line.
FR!!!! I think it’s because he wasn’t kidding 😂 he’s such an interesting guy but I can tell he is a scary mf if you get on his bad side from some of the stories he tells
Easier to get a fun than put a criminal in jail, somehow
black markets really improved, you can get anything from mexican cartels or the dark web these days.
Seeing Hosea got shot always stopped my heart for a second, every time...
It stopped his too 😅
@@confusion8579💀💀💀
The Pinkerton Detective Agency was a private investigator firm which back then was hired by the U.S. government as well as various private clients - such as Mr. Cornwall in the game - to deal with interstate crime cases that could be anything from a missing person case to taking down outlaws like the game's Van der Linde Gang. They were very expensive but had the largest force of field agents in the States; in a sense they were forerunner for the FBI. Also, something I noticed as a regularity in the commentary: cowboys are NOT to be mixed with outlaws and gunmen. Being a cowboy was a legitimate business of herding cattle from A to B across long distances and living on the rough along the animals, as opposed to ranchers who were working at a more or less fixed location. It was the bandits and outlaw gangs that made a living by robbing trains, banks, stagecoaches, etc.
Fun fact: There was also a tradition of "cowboying" in Europe as well up to the mid/late 1700s in Central Europe and the Balkans, with medieval Hungary being the biggest contributor to it. Since Hungarians had a nomadic ancestry before settling in Europe, trekking long distances with animals wasn't at all a strange concept and they herded quality cattle for meat and hide as far as the markets of London. In Hungarian we called these people a "hajdú" (hajdúk in plural) which is a derivative of the word "hajtó" which means - among other things - a herder or cattler.
And then apparently the plural “hajdúk” became a singular in Romanian as “haiduc,” and in South Slavic languages too, IIRC
I didn't know that about hajdu! My great grandparents came to Canada from Hungary as refugees in 1914. I raise cattle now in western Canada (BC).
@@Halocon720 Yes, because Slavic languages have a more rigid vowel-consonant harmony system and can't handle words ending in a vowel that well.
@@canadianeh4792 In all fairness, by that time in went out of existence as a profession :D But that's very interesting and nice to know :)
Yes, but cowboys did also venture into outlaw or bandit territory as well. Some cattle barons made their cowboys commit crimes such as murder, intimidation, and robbery. There's some interesting stories out there about it on CZcams.
Love his reactions. Gives me a perspective on how realistic and unrealistic is, during this time period.
He's not really a historian. But he is a smart guy who's lived quite a bit of life
how? hes not a historian lmao
@@futurestoryteller Was about to say that, he's smart but defo not a historian. Train robberies weren't as common as people think, over 50 years between the 1860's to the 1910's there were only about 1,000 or so recorded train robberies, and that's just in general, failed and successful robberies.
Check out his reactions to the mafia games. Much better assessment since he was actually in that life (instead of an outlaw cowboy 50+ years before he was born).
@@altair5240 I mean the population was much smaller back then so 1000 is still a big figure
I think it's cool to have an actual ex-capo of a real mob to validate everything in a mafia game. It's like sitting in a classroom and a special speaker comes in and you're just locked into his speech. I love the authenticity.
Let's just say killing Micah aka giving that sniveling, cowardly rat what he deserved as John in the post-game epilogue was so satisfying and it helped that I hated Micah's guts due to how he acted in the main story.
Van der Linde helped kill Micah too... in fact if he hadn't helped you you wouldn't have been able to kill him in the game...
@@BradenOnYT no one hates Micah more than The actor lol! he even said so himself he was legit hurt playing out the scenes but knew he had to be the bad guy n be hated.
It’s sad that killing Micah basically got John killed because it got the Pinkertons back on him
Ok
@@space7681 Revenge is a fool's game.
I'd be down to see Michael react to Mafia 3. Granted it's the least Mafia-like but it's more or less around his time as a mobster/captain at that point.
I would too, since he mentioned one of the main bosses in Mafia 3's New Orleans allegory.
Admittedly I don't know the overall plot of the game. But he said in his American Gangster video that he doesn't really distinguish mob guys based on race, and that in his opinion Frank Lucas was one of the greatest mobsters that ever lived. So if if it's mostly about the black protagonist I don't think he'd find fault there, not the way... some gamers have
@@futurestoryteller Mafia 3's issues weren't due to Lincoln Clay being black, he was a great protag with a compelling arc. It was the game's lackluster sandbox that dragged the game down. Watching a 'Mafia 3 Movie' youtube video of the main story is awesome.
@@Bateluer I've heard the criticisms you're talking about but Mafia is the game that fans tauted as "so realistic you have to actually fill up your gas tank" . I mean... have you played the opening of the first Mafia game from 2001? It made me want to blow the back of my skull out, and suddenly the hardcore fans of _this series_ have a problem with realist tedium.
I saw a lot of "This isn't a mafia game, the main guy is against the mafia in this game"
So I'm aware that there are people who criticize every game in good faith, I was referencing people who drag down games like this - transparently - in bad faith
@@futurestoryteller I've only played the remake/remaster for Mafia 1 and 2, normal release for Mafia 3. I didn't find them to be models of realism. I maintain what I said about M3 . . . it was the lackluster open world sandbox implementation, not Lincoln Clay that dragged it down. M3's main story, supporting cast, and multiple endings are all great. The after credit scene with John Donovan is legendary.
Whether it is accurate or not. The acting and characters and setting is just top notch. Its really a good modern tribute to old western movies. If it somehow came out in the 60's it would be a hit for several reasons. Not just because of the alien high tech technology its run on.
Shows that no matter the time period, the gang life is the same no matter what.
It's interesting. Humans act different but quite the same simultaneously no matter what time period. I'm sure we won't change much a hundred years from now.
At least with Dutch, he wouldn't have you killed if you just decided to leave. I mean, before he went off the deep end, of course, but as early as the Lemoyne exploits, anyone could come and go. Marston left for one or two years and was welcomed back with open arms.
@@ElPayasoMaloTwo years. Marston left for two years and Morgan complained that no one else would have been welcomed back like that after being gone so long.
I would love to see him react to GTA 4 since he was in the New York mafia, and you have to deal with a lot of crime families in that game Russian, Italian etc
True and GTA 4 surprisingly got most of the things right for the mob world of real life NYC.
I'd love a GTA IV reaction video. In fact, it would've made more sense for Michael to react to than RDR2 since it even depicts the Five Families of New York including The Colombos.
For me GTA 4 is almost like a sopranos game adaption, especially towards the end where you are deeply involved in the new york/new jersey mafia.
@@nathanmonteiro2822 fr the overworld, dark, depressing, bleak vibe is just like sopranos
@@nathanmonteiro2822 I've always loved that quality about IV, it has this feeling to its story and world that no other crime game quite gives me. I can only hope that one day we'd return to that same Liberty City and cast of characters.
3:10 They were essentially tipped off
They raided a rival gang camp
And found plans to rob a train
And figured if their rivals wanted to rob it there must be something worth it
Wow I remember watching his break down of mafia 2 glad to have him back.
Good job, you remember a 13 day old video!
@@average__height8033 I’m pretty sure he reacted to mafia 2 in a much older video but okay
@@average__height8033 czcams.com/video/ycFziHLcxdY/video.html
@@lukemccartney826 “but okay”
@@average__height8033 yup that’s exactly what I said
Love the way the camera was on Micah when he said "somebody gave you up".
Yeah, what a twist that was too you know - I remember being like NOT MICAH he's such a good guy!
My man was already making calculations to understand whether he and his people could take the Van Der Linde gang.
Gotta appreciate the way such a mind works.
I'd like him to react to more RD2 content but at least give him some context of cutscene instead of a blind reaction cause he might have a different opinions/reaction if he know what's actually happening
Right? He gets introduced to the mob boss and the next scene, he's been kidnapped already, in his pajamas and gets drowned. Maybe the scene where they actually assault his estate and kidnap him?
@@jacobsampsonis7782 Yeah, this is something that has always bothered me about these reaction videos.
@@themadtitan7603 Aye, full agreement.
It's not even a spoiler problem because, Michael isn't gonna be playing RDR2. Let's be honest. lol. So I don't think spoiling him on the plot is going to really matter.
@The Mad Titan I see you on every RDR video ha. I'm glad someone is as big of a fan as i am.
Really enjoyed what he had to say at the end about it's better to be loved than feared. There is definitely a lot of wisdom in that and it's VERY in line with Arthur's whole character arc in the game.
The storyline is masterpiece
it actually has some big holes but overall, the way the story is told IS a masterpeice
I disagree. The characters are great, but the storyline basically amounts to: "We need more money Arthur!" "Let's go get some money!" (Something goes wrong) (Big shootout). Rinse and repeat for 50 hours. Also it's silly that they're in constant need of money when the player can be carrying thousands of dollars; which would probably be worth hundreds of thousands these days.
@@inputfunny Still, it's a good history, a little repetive sometimes, but most of the scenes and camera plans are very cool, besides, sometimes what makes a good game isn't the original history line, You could watch for example "Little Nightmares" and "Little Nightmares 2" both of them have kind of the same history "we are in an unknown world and the only thing we can do is survive" now, the cool thing about little nightmares it's how is shown in the story, while you are escaping to survive, lots of things are going on in the background, and if you play both games maybe the first time you won't get it, but after playing it some times you will understand some of the symbolisms and parts of the history of why the world is like this.
@@inputfunny That perfectly describes RDR2's story. It's a masterpiece of a character exploration and writing but as a plot with missions, it's a great but flawed story. Chapters 4 with Bronte is rushed, Guarma is a weird, abrupt detour from the main game and Chapter 6 quickly tries to wrap stories brought up earlier like the Wapiti tribe in the middle of the gang's downfall. Again, it's a good story, but I don't think it'd be as excellent if not the excellent character development and performances.
@@inputfunny many big robberies by them failed ...and players money together is low to start a new life because the money is distributed as a whole..and they re really had money dutch snapped and wanted to create chaos
My favorite guy! Feature him more often!
Not sure if you know, but in case you dont, he has his own yt channel. Check it out if you havent.
@@Nrzpokrter I didn't know! Thanks!
@@Nrzpokrter name?
@@grandmasterblueberryice4882 Just his name and surname: youtube.com/@michaelfranzese
No. Let's put him where he belongs, in jail. Let's not give him a job.
I love how he talks about the events happening not as someone who will claim he knows the lifestyle of the wild west but as someone who wonders and thinks about if it was like that and maybe add some of his experience to it. Really fun listening and thinking about it as well. He has a point about security, it isn't like today where there are cameras or other security measures. I do wonder if they had the five families then how would it had been like.
In the first train robbery it was actually scouted and planned by the rival gane the O'Driscolls. The Van Der Linde gang gets wind of it when they raid an O'Driscoll camp and decided to do the job themselves.
Also I remember a video you made about the Cosa Nostra originating in New Orleans. San Denis is the equivalent of New Orleans in RDR2.
How tf are you finding these people
Jail probably.
He's Batman
He’s Batman in a dif body
I would've loved more emphasis on Bronte's crime syndicate in Saint Denis (RDR's New Orleans) and Michael's reaction to it and the idea of the criminals of the old meeting the new, civilized form of organized crime that he brought up. Still, it's always entertaining to hear his insight into crime stories.
Hey bud we see you on every read dead video comment section. Calm down its not that serious getting a reaction 🤣🤦♂️ in am curious how you have this much free time on your hands? Unemployed or just a kid?

"Be loyal to what matters." - Arthur Morgan, 1899
Now this is content!!! Keep up the good work ex Mob Boss!!!
There actually were many rules of war in these times. One of the most commonly known was that bayonets cannot be triangle shaped because it made nearly unsalvageable wounds. Reason these laws and practices existed was because many of the lawmakers and politicians of the time partook in the war and saw or even were subjugated to the effects of it so they had first hand experience on "what was just too far".
The triangular bayonets myth is pure cap
That's a myth
@@Josep_Hernandez_Lujan No shit?
Nope. Triangular bayonets were never banned, didn't cause more grievous wounds, and were actually designed like that to make them more durable. Give a grunt an expensive, fragile peice of kit and he'll show you how to use it to pound a nail in.
Much love for Michael, love to hear more of Sammy's views about some of the real serious games of the Era now.
2:48 He says 'Where does he get the information from' they got it from The O'Drisolls
Good point about being feared and loved. Arthur and John truly loved Dutch despite his faults and never betrayed him to the law unlike Micah. We can the same with Molly and even Strauss they never said anything
God-like episode, Red Dead and this guy are a perfect match, we need another video
Holy Michael Franzese, Batman! I watch his videos all the time, and it feels like such a treat to see him on Gamology. We're spoiled.
Love how he talks about being loved or feared. I agree with him.
"Gotta tell ya, these cowboys had balls". Best line of the video!
I really enjoyed this video thanks!
I think It would be better if Michael reacted to Mafia 3, GTA 4-5, Sleeping Dogs or the Yakuza games.
Doesn't seem like the wild west is something a mafia boss can relate to as much.
Yeah, and if they wanted him to react to RDR2, it should've focused specifically on Angelo Bronte's part of the game.
@@themadtitan7603 why is your nerd ass on EVERY red dead video I watch? 🤣🤦♂️ not even annoyed I'm just like amazed you have this much free time on your hands lmao
"Better to be loved than feared"... Life lesson right there!
When you go into depth on what is better, to be loved or feared, I've always been told that it's better to be feared, however i've always been a firm believer that loyalty is the most important thing to have (to be loved). I would get ridiculed by my answer everytime by people around me, but in turn would see the same people have their lives flipped on their heads when someone close to them either stabbed them in the back or betrayed them because of monetary gain, attention, lust or fear as you put it. I might've lost a ton of people in my life due to being too naive, hoping people have a good heart by default, but in turn I've slowly regained a circle of people that not only are understanding and loyal, but also ready to have my back... which is shocking, but so refreshing to experience. I'm not of course fully there yet, but it's slowly becoming a reality.
Love is a far better motivator then fear. I would never betray someone I love out of fear, but I would certainly betray someone I hate out of fear, and since I usually hate the people I fear that would be a problem for the person I fear less.
Very wise words.
I can sit and listen to his stories for hours. He’s such a cool dude
I can confirm through a friend of mine that it is possible to pay your way out of the mob. He got caught up in a gun fight while picking up drugs from the triads. Decided that's not how he wanted to go. Paid 10k to get out quietly. That was nearly a decade ago. No trouble since then.
Triads are different lmao
🧢🧢
I’ve been watching some of Michael’s stuff for awhile now, his great with his words, I never quite expected this to be honest
So glad he’s reacting to this game!
Where does Gamology find these people 😭
This game has something for everyone us western lovers and outlaw gangs. Storywise its also awesome and you really get emotional. Not alot of games make you feel that way :)
8:40 i like that Michael likes Hosea's words of wisdom..
Been waiting for this one Keep posting great Videos Gamology i appreciate the work you put in theese videos gamology keep posting
Now we got to have the ex-mob boss and Chris the Cop react together to a project
He mentions Yellowstone, I wonder how much grey area "organized crime" occurs on some of these ranches out West. Grey area in that it's in that weird dubious legal limbo where ranchers are the law unto themselves in certain areas
I love that despite not being some big expert on the old west, historically speaking, he still applied his knowledge of his experiences with the mafia to how gangs used to function back then. The fact that everything he said was spot on blows my mind. It just shows how much old practices carry into the new. Even in a different time period, things could be the same. You could put the Van Der Linde gunslingers next to a bunch of Capone's lieutenants and they'd probably be similar in everything except for appearance.
Fear also leads to resentment, and resentment to hate. And when you hate someone, you'll do everything to see them burn
I must remind everyone, during the events of RDR2 (Red Dead Redemption 2), the year was set in 1899, while the wild west ended in 1865. During the early 1900, we are beginning to see the construction of cities, federal law, and travel on a national scale. RDR2 represents the end of the gunslingers and outlaws, where the last few criminals and vigilantes are hunted down and either arrested or hung.
1) We know what "RDR2" is. No need to add "Red Dead Redemption 2" in parentheses.
2) You don't need to explain the plot of RDR2. We fucking know. In fact, what you just said is explained with text in the opening of the game.
Mike says it wouldn’t be easy to kidnap a mob boss. It wasn’t they killed like over 2 dozen guards to get to Brontë 😂
I don’t think they showed him that part
With how much he talks about contingency plans I’d love to see his idea on the failed trolley robbery
The man who lived being caporegime and reacting to the games is amazing. Mafia definitive edition next please!!!
We need more of the old assassins creed games
Michael Franzese should take a look at GTA 3D mob families sequances. From Forelli Sindacos and Leone.
Oh, to clear some confusion. The game is set in 1899, when outlaw gangs were dying out and the mafia was rising.
The question is: *Did he have faith in the Plan?*
This is so random but I love it
This guy is fascinating. Id love to see more of him.
Dude ive been waitinh for thisss
I wish I can experience RDR2 for the first time again, it's been 2 years... I hope I can quickly forgot everything about it and replay it..
Same
@@themadtitan7603 bro ur really everywhere
Damn was just watching red dead 2 videos, today, never played either one, and was just watching his videos yesterday! What a time pleasant surprise
@Brief Keef I plan to play the second game soon
you should play it its like a real life simulator it feels so real
6:35 they’re in a city based on New Orleans, Louisiana. And if you know your mob history (which I’m assuming you do) the Italian mafia originally set up in New Orleans. In fact in 1891, so roughly 8 years before the game is set, Police Chief David Hennessy was shot and killed either by members of the Mantranga or Provenzano family which led to the New Orleans Lynching, the largest lynching in American history in which 11 Italian-Americans were killed
I love that you guys manage to find these people lol
I would pay money to see Michael play this game on twitch.
I like how the mob boss is congratulating rdr for completing jobs
1:26 "how well planned was this"
Dutch coming up with a plan a zectosecond after that:
Another amazing video
This is gonna be good
Have him react to Papa Bronte
Always good to see you!
He’s so right about it bein hard to fight back when someone decks you in the face multiple times 😂
To be loved and feared (or the latter, if both were not possible) was a quality that Niccolo Machiavelli described as fitting for a leader.
7:48 I thought the same thing when I got to this scene. I mean we knew it wasn't going to ever happen at this point, but had we been in his position I think most of us wouldn't have tried that angle. Maybe if Dutch WASN'T there it might've seemed like a play, but you don't really want to try that when the boss is right in front of them.
when i got to when he said that, i was dying from second hand embarrassment. he really tried it
I would like to see him reacting to Angelo Bronte capture mission it would be nice
Yeah, they skipped over the part where they planned and raided his manor so it seemed like they just suddenly captured him.
I love this guy, I feel there are even more scenes from this game he could comment on
This was amazing hearing his perspective on rd2 was awesome
Fascinating idea. The person who came up with this deserves a promotion, give them a pay raise, or something
No he doesn't. And this criminal doesn't deserve a job either. Or a prison job, eventually
@@romanoonamor7690 You just assume the person who came up with it is a man, just like you assume criminals can't be reformed. How cliche
@@futurestoryteller Reformed? He wasn't a theif who stole bread. He was a mafia boss. And people in the comments admire him, I don't think they care about him being reformed.
And you really used the misgender card?
@@futurestoryteller Also you're ignoring the homophobia in the mafia? Never mention the criminal activities obviously.
@@pascalg16 You need to grow tf up
My brother is watching Yellowstone and yeah it's wild also this game is one of my favorite games
Imagine this guy was your grandpa sitting on the couch watching you play and adding this epic commentary.
Hey Jet, I’ve been watching your content for a lil while now and I’ve played Twd like 3 times now,there will be more downs then ups but the ups are pretty great. Just wanted to let you know that we are here for emotional support and wanna let you know I’m here for you and your fans are here for you.this game is really taxing on whoever plays it mentally and puts a different perspective on how a game could be so dark and so good at the same time just hope it doesn’t put a bad taste in your mouth (love your content don’t stop or I’ll come to your house)
That’s how I woulda did it
I was in a major 1% motorcycle club. I got out.
I hit a very low point in life. In this period I played red dead 2. The storyline spike to me. Great game
those cowboys are bold is the best description of the original van der linde gang.Even bill who gets a lot of shit for being an idiot is as brave as it gets,especially in the swap gunfight
For the train robbery, they knew who the train belonged to and that it was likely worth robbing because they stole plans from a rival gang that was planning the robbery for months.
“You don’t get punched in the face that many times and keep fighting back” that’s bullshit 😂😂
Thats what i would've did
Was not expecting this but I am glad it happened 👍
The collaboration I never knew I needed. LOL.
Have him react to mafia 1 definitive edition
