Exactly the point. Chasing after Micah and not letting go of the past instead of moving forward like Arthur asked is what lead to the authorities managing to track him down again. He tried to let go but this single act of not doing so led to awful consequences and a repetition of history
I guess rockstar managed it so that for the storyline it has to make sence why john in rdr1 never talk about him. But john said once he thinks lot of on the old times and arthur. And u can hear some things what arthur said as johns thoughts when u visit old campspots This game is still insane after 1500 hrs almost all in sp
after this if you greet Abigail, John asks her why she said that, and he said he likes talking about him, but that there's just not much to say. and if you follow Jack and greet him after it, John will say "you know, I saved us too."
More like Abigail doesn't want to talk about the gang, and including Arthur. The tone she said "Aint that right" is a code how a wife tell her husband that she doesnt want to hear about this. She's the kind of person who forget the past by pretending that it didn't really happen.
I think it‘s one of many choices they intentionally picked to create that image of John, in which he‘s not really meant to be very confident when it comes to communicating about or with people he has a close relationship with. Besides, in contrast to all the other people Arthur saved, when John talks about Arthur saving him, he’s also talking about his old criminal identity which he likes to leave behind and actually would even be dangerous to talk about too publicly, so yeah… kinda understand this directors choice.
Nah that's sinful 6 playthroughs... that's like 300 hours with all the side quests... you should really do something more productive with those hours man, I love red dead, but twice or 3 times is max for me
@@nalletraktorn I played rdr 1 and 2, and it would be amazing to have rdr 2 with rdr 1 mechanic, like cheating at the poker, fame, patroling at nights, random duels, and exploring mexico with improved graphics.
I feel it’s because Arthur was a conflicted person morally and in other ways he was also a very very funny character and as time went on we watched him change and he dose better himself as he started dieing of TB it’s a very dynamic character and how you play influence a lot of things in very small details in a cutscene or aurther journal(his journal also made him more human) and then you have the tech aspect so yeah
I think it’s because the first one came out in 2004 so a lot of people didn’t play the first one. Many along with me were introduced through this game.
I remember when RDR2 first came out no one knew who Arthur was and everyone wanted to play John. Then you learn John’s back story and the love for Arthur grew more than the love for John.
I remember I was salty and then as the game was coming to a close I started doing all the side missions just to prolong Arthur's life 😭. Arthur is man John strives so hard to be.
I remembered on the mission where Arthur gets taken away by the O’driscols. My first thought was why kill him?! If they ever do a third game, it’ll be in a long time from now. I hope they do though. Another prequel.
I think it's to make sense of John not ever mentioning Arthur in first game when killing the gang members even though it seems like he was such a crucial reason for revenge etc
@@Matthewgaming20even more tragic when it turns out dutch was planning to kill Micah off in the first place. If john and saddie stayed, micah would be dead and they would have been in more peace.

John celebrates his victory by closing the to-do list alongside the person who gave him the chance to complete that list
I wish john wouldve put arthurs hat on the grave stone and laid the journal at the base of it, perfect explanation of why he doesent have them in the 1st game
“The past is gone, we left that behind.” Also John hearing voices of the camp followers and full on conversations whenever he is in the abandoned camp sites from the Van Der Linde gang.
I came out of RDR2 liking John *less*. Arthur gave his life for John and his family to leave the country and the outlaw life behind, and only 8 years later, John's back in America doing outlaw shit again. And, shocker, it ends up getting him and Abigail killed. If he just listened to Arthur and stayed long gone, they'd probably be happy. And Jack would still have parents.
Everything about this little scene is perfect, the way jack suddenly said his name, waited seconds to continue and abigail's reply as she acknowledges that arthur indeed saved them and lastly the way she passed the conversation to john, and how he replied rather cold but inside you know arthur was the world to him, his half brother.
True when I first played rdr I assumed John was in a small group, with Dutch, Javier, and Bill, but when rdr2 came out i was surprised to see more than just four members of a gang

@@thyst8004exactly these little kids make me cringe there mad emotional and won’t even continue the game bc of it like without john and his game being so successful there wouldn’t BE no Arthur roger the actor for Arthur even calls john the legend.
I remember when people were upset they wouldn’t play as John in the 2nd game but rockstar knew better and made the better choice by far as letting us play Arthur Morgan who I think is the best rockstar character ever by far
Yes i remember i played the game completely opposite on the second time round (low honor) but on the last arthur mission i still sided with helping john i couldnt bring myself to grab money lol
I’ve never cried over a game or game character before, but here I am. Sobbing. Crying. This game, I became emotionally attached to this game. We all miss Arthur.
Am I the only one who didnt end up like that? It might have something to do with the fact that I was spoiled to that Arthur was gonna die before even starting to play the game
@@Gravity_304 I was really sad that he died but i would have probably been more sad if i didnt get spoiled the things about rdr2. I knew that micah is the bad guy and that arthur dies before i even started
Nah, wasn't working on rdr2 yet but had it in planning but still decided who was going to be the main character. That's why he never mentions him in rdr1. So stop pulling fake stories that rockstar didn't even knew.
@@hyek2.0 rockstar still had the idea of john having a very close friend that was like a brother to him while rdr1 was in development, while they didnt know who it was they still had the idea of it, just because they didnt know the name of the character doesnt mean theres no way to mention him, they couldve done something like god of war where kratos refers to atreus as “boy” because they hadnt made a name for atreus yet
@@hyek2.0 that's the most unfun, boring and utterly shitty way to view the story. You may as well say that the prequel never existed, and then we're right back at square one with giving RDR1 context. Example: Dutch in rdr1 repeating the same speech he did in rdr2 has so much weight and implications about his regret and guilt over what happened with the gang, the speech was given extra context while still making complete sense for his character. If you're going to remove every instance of rdr2 adding extra context to rdr1 that wasn't accounted for in 2010, it'd be a really really (good game but a) shitty prequel that would add very little to the original game If you went and said "John didn't learn to run and not look back from Arthur, his life wasn't saved by the guy who Dutch betrayed and he didn't learn to love and embrace his family over time", you have literally done NOTHING in the prequel to explain ANY of the characters or their motivations and traits, at that point it's barely even a prequel aside from it sort of connecting to the first game, and the first game stays entirely the same
I remember being apprehensive about playing as Arthur in rdr2 when it first came out, but after 2 minutes I was in love with him. Absolutely phenomenal writing for this game
He didn't. But Arthur didn't sit around and pout. He didn't whine or give up. Arthur knew this was unfair, and despite all the unfairness and cruelty of the world Arthur rose above it all and chose to do something good anyway, with the time he had left. In this, we should all aspire to be like Arthur 🫡 (no I'm not crying as I write this)
I love how they created a game where most of the characters in the game loved Arthur as much as we do. He was more than just someone who saved them once; he was so much more.
In one of the encounters, the civil war man, Mickey, openly confessed that he never served in the army and that he found that uniform and just wears it to trick people.
i absolutely love it how john still follows what arthur told him to do years ago, to run and don’t look back. he never talks about arthur because arthur told him to not look back and to keep moving forward. absolutely amazing. edit: i apologize for saying it twice, i was really high when i originally made the comment but i think it’s to funny to change 😂
John going after Micha was the precise paradox about "not looking back." John tracks Micha down, kills him, Ross finds Micha's dead body and then finds John's homestead, leading to the events of the first game. If John actually listened to Arthur, he would of been just fine.
John says “you’re my brother Arthur” when Arthur tells john to leave and live a good life. John, Arthur and Hosea were like two brothers and a loving father. So was dutch until he was corrupted by Micah.
This game teaches you many things about life honestly. If you sit back and think on a lot of it. It’s a masterpiece. I’ve been obsessed over it the last couple days. I somehow am just now getting myself to play the story of the second game. Finished the epilogue last night and since, I have been watching videos on the first games story since I forgot much of it since I last played. And man. It’s so much to take in. I forgot the key roles the gang members played in the first game. Hunting Dutch. Javier. Bill. Seeing uncle die. It makes everything make so much sense. And it really changes how you see John. I always saw him as THE big badass of the gang. But you see in rdr2 he was the “little brother” in a sense. He always had dutch and Arthur and everyone else to protect, teach, and save him when need saving as dutch and Arthur would say haha. And then seeing Arthur’s death, change him into a combination of what he once was, with his new self. It really shows you how he got to where he is. I really wish they’d make a story dlc for Sadie and Charles tho. Even tho we know they likely moved on with there lives and did what they planned in the mission killing Micah. I have so many yet so little words. I play on PC, so for my second play through I have decided to download some quality of life mods to make the game even more of an experience! And last but not least. Lenny.😪 it made me cry. Happened so fast and has no time to say goodbye😢 probably one of my favorite characters in rdr2. Wish he had gotten more time or had been part of the first game😔
Arthur is one of the only people that Jack talks about (and therefore we can presume hes one of the only people he remembers). Arthur treated Jack so well. And Jack remembers that. He mentions Arthur a few times during the epilogue, but nobody else. Just to add to everyones heartbreak :)
Arthur has such a great story, its so good, and it leads to another story that has great potential, John Marston having the fallen hero story. if the first game were scripted a bit differently, it would be perfect
There a time when you go to the camp, Arthur tell Abigail to “be careful” and Abigail says “I don’t have to be careful when I have a friend like you to protect me”😢 sad he died but atleast he kept that close to his heart.
I cried so much when he died that I honestly became just a little depressed, this game is so amazing and the emotions you experience playing it is just amazing
I remember finishing the game and sitting down in the shower absolutely distraught. Like “wtf did I just witness did that actually happen??”(I got the low honor ending) It’s kinda embarrassing but I was actually depressed about it for a few days
First thing I thought of when he mentioned King Arthur and such. John even said he liked the names that they had in those books, and I think it’s because Arthur was the king
@@phormioofathens4774 I remember that Jack Marston later was nicknamed Lancelot. But Lancelot was pure of heart. In RDR1 at the end of rdr1 jack becomes evil and opposite of Lancelot
@@noahtylerpritchett2682 I wouldn't say evil more vengeful and ready to kill Ross and after it he probably just went back to the Beecher's Hope and probably settled down and lived a family life or alone.
John started working with Milton The guy who corrupted the gang sending Mika back to spur Dutch on with the bandit work Just cuz we play as the character, dosent mean they are the "pure" good guy.
@@donovanulrich348 I don’t think anyone was under the illusion that Arthur or John or even Jack would be truly called “a good guy” but they are “the good guy”
Seriously red dead 2 is the only game ever to have made me cry after the ending I had a mental breakdown and had to stop playing games all together for a few days
i had to do the same thing. it felt like i had actually experienced the loss of soemone i knew and loved. crazy i may be but i cant help how i feel lol
Did you know the voice actor for Dutch was tracked with a full suit and when Dutch turned around that cliff the voice actor actually cried because of how sad it was
I think the thing that hurts the most about RD2 is that we’ll never get to play such an amazing character like Arthur again. At least with John we got to see/play him again in RD2. I highly doubt Rockstar will ever bring Arthur back, and by the time they decide to make another game it will most likely have different characters/main character. Arthur really is one of the greatest video game characters of all time.
Same. I was suffering great depression and was in desperation to find anything worthy to live for until I got it, it definitely distracted me from my previous bitch of a circumstances.
@@danielcoelho3477 I watched my big brother play it through on the PS3 a while ago so I don't really remember a whole lot from it,but I'm definitely gonna replay it when I get a PC because I'm not paying 50$ to play it on the ps5
And it's even more beautiful when you realiser that Arthur is that he wanted his grave facing the sunset and Charles accomplished that by putting his grave I'm the top of a mountain facing the sunset.
People feel more attached to Arthur because we can control his choices, read his journal and see a life he could’ve had with Mary. His illness gives him clarity and and allows him to see his life more clearly. You become Arthur. Watching a man with little time left trying to right his wrongs and save as many as he can.
I choke sobbed, on the floor, screaming, crying, when Arthur died. he was the best video game character in history. whenever I see edits like this, I start crying.
Грустно понимать что Джек довольно плохо помнит Артура, а ведь Артур знал Джека когда тот был ещё маленьким, они вместе ходили на рыбалку, катались на лошадях. Мне действительно грустно осознавать то, что Джек плохо помнит Артура.
I know this is 7 months late but if you talk to Abigail after her conversation with Jack, John actually asks her why she told Jack that he didn't like talking about Arthur much in which case he was fine talking about him but didn't have much that he really had to say, other than how he saved him in the end.
Whether John does or doesn't like to talk about Arthur, he still remembers him, and that's all that matters. As long as he's still remembered or talked about, he will always be alive.
John: "the past is gone... We left that behind"
John: *goes after Micah*
Exactly the point. Chasing after Micah and not letting go of the past instead of moving forward like Arthur asked is what lead to the authorities managing to track him down again. He tried to let go but this single act of not doing so led to awful consequences and a repetition of history

I do miss him but when people mention him I feel this pain in my gut like I shouldn’t have left him
I’ve never cried over a game or game character before, but here I am. Sobbing. Crying. This game, I became emotionally attached to this game. We all miss Arthur.
He was a criminal
I reccomend cyberpunk then, its also sad as shit
Am I the only one who didnt end up like that? It might have something to do with the fact that I was spoiled to that Arthur was gonna die before even starting to play the game

He told Mary Beth that in the epilogue. Find her at the Valentine train station.
i mean duh 😭
He also hears arthur voices every where when he start a camp
Heh. Nah. I bet Arthur would be on John's kill list in RDR1 if he existed in that game. Just like what he did to Javier.
@@supremedealer6697 absolutely not 💀
“you have forgotten people far more important than me partner.”
hits way harder after you realize he didnt even mention arthur a single time in rdr
Nah, wasn't working on rdr2 yet but had it in planning but still decided who was going to be the main character.
That's why he never mentions him in rdr1.
So stop pulling fake stories that rockstar didn't even knew.
@@hyek2.0 rockstar still had the idea of john having a very close friend that was like a brother to him while rdr1 was in development, while they didnt know who it was they still had the idea of it, just because they didnt know the name of the character doesnt mean theres no way to mention him, they couldve done something like god of war where kratos refers to atreus as “boy” because they hadnt made a name for atreus yet
@@hyek2.0 that's the most unfun, boring and utterly shitty way to view the story. You may as well say that the prequel never existed, and then we're right back at square one with giving RDR1 context. Example: Dutch in rdr1 repeating the same speech he did in rdr2 has so much weight and implications about his regret and guilt over what happened with the gang, the speech was given extra context while still making complete sense for his character. If you're going to remove every instance of rdr2 adding extra context to rdr1 that wasn't accounted for in 2010, it'd be a really really (good game but a) shitty prequel that would add very little to the original game
If you went and said "John didn't learn to run and not look back from Arthur, his life wasn't saved by the guy who Dutch betrayed and he didn't learn to love and embrace his family over time", you have literally done NOTHING in the prequel to explain ANY of the characters or their motivations and traits, at that point it's barely even a prequel aside from it sort of connecting to the first game, and the first game stays entirely the same
@@jaxmc3547 Jesus why did you write a whole article?
Apparently that's supposed to be in reference to the girl that Dutch shot on the boat
John: “The past is gone”
Also John: “ITS JOHN MARSTON MICAH!!”
I remember being apprehensive about playing as Arthur in rdr2 when it first came out, but after 2 minutes I was in love with him. Absolutely phenomenal writing for this game

He didn't. But Arthur didn't sit around and pout. He didn't whine or give up. Arthur knew this was unfair, and despite all the unfairness and cruelty of the world Arthur rose above it all and chose to do something good anyway, with the time he had left. In this, we should all aspire to be like Arthur 🫡 (no I'm not crying as I write this)

I can still hear his voice in my head..

John going after Micha was the precise paradox about "not looking back." John tracks Micha down, kills him, Ross finds Micha's dead body and then finds John's homestead, leading to the events of the first game. If John actually listened to Arthur, he would of been just fine.
@@SmokeyGames420 i didn’t think about that. thank you bringing that up.
John says “you’re my brother Arthur” when Arthur tells john to leave and live a good life. John, Arthur and Hosea were like two brothers and a loving father. So was dutch until he was corrupted by Micah.
It's the only game that puts me in such a state. It's more than a game, it's a life lesson.
True Arthur was that person showed people in the real world how to be right and live free
@@Dogwater68probably just you
This game teaches you many things about life honestly. If you sit back and think on a lot of it. It’s a masterpiece. I’ve been obsessed over it the last couple days. I somehow am just now getting myself to play the story of the second game. Finished the epilogue last night and since, I have been watching videos on the first games story since I forgot much of it since I last played. And man. It’s so much to take in. I forgot the key roles the gang members played in the first game. Hunting Dutch. Javier. Bill. Seeing uncle die. It makes everything make so much sense. And it really changes how you see John. I always saw him as THE big badass of the gang. But you see in rdr2 he was the “little brother” in a sense. He always had dutch and Arthur and everyone else to protect, teach, and save him when need saving as dutch and Arthur would say haha. And then seeing Arthur’s death, change him into a combination of what he once was, with his new self. It really shows you how he got to where he is. I really wish they’d make a story dlc for Sadie and Charles tho. Even tho we know they likely moved on with there lives and did what they planned in the mission killing Micah. I have so many yet so little words. I play on PC, so for my second play through I have decided to download some quality of life mods to make the game even more of an experience! And last but not least. Lenny.😪 it made me cry. Happened so fast and has no time to say goodbye😢 probably one of my favorite characters in rdr2. Wish he had gotten more time or had been part of the first game😔
@@timmyneutronofficialI agree, it's way more than just a game
Arthur is one of the only people that Jack talks about (and therefore we can presume hes one of the only people he remembers). Arthur treated Jack so well. And Jack remembers that. He mentions Arthur a few times during the epilogue, but nobody else. Just to add to everyones heartbreak :)

@@bsaaxtyfoon143wasnt that epilouge p2
Arthur is such a good person. Best person I’ve ever played as in a game
This is so emotional.Everyone loved Arthur
Arthur has such a great story, its so good, and it leads to another story that has great potential, John Marston having the fallen hero story. if the first game were scripted a bit differently, it would be perfect
unpopular opinion, I know
might be an interesting story. Jack Marston finds arthurs old journal and begins a journey of redemption.
"The past is gone. We left that behind."
If only John, if only... 😢
There a time when you go to the camp, Arthur tell Abigail to “be careful” and Abigail says “I don’t have to be careful when I have a friend like you to protect me”😢 sad he died but atleast he kept that close to his heart.
I cried so much when he died that I honestly became just a little depressed, this game is so amazing and the emotions you experience playing it is just amazing
I remember finishing the game and sitting down in the shower absolutely distraught. Like “wtf did I just witness did that actually happen??”(I got the low honor ending) It’s kinda embarrassing but I was actually depressed about it for a few days
I finished recently and have felt numb for the past few days.
yess I cried when Arthur died he was a good friend and a uncle and a good husband and a father and he was a good man too.
I crode & crode so much when Arthur died
Arthur, you know, Jack Marston said he reads a lot of Arthurian legends books.
I wonder if he compares King Arthur Pendragon to Arthur Morgan.
First thing I thought of when he mentioned King Arthur and such. John even said he liked the names that they had in those books, and I think it’s because Arthur was the king
@@phormioofathens4774 I remember that Jack Marston later was nicknamed Lancelot. But Lancelot was pure of heart. In RDR1 at the end of rdr1 jack becomes evil and opposite of Lancelot

Did you know the voice actor for Dutch was tracked with a full suit and when Dutch turned around that cliff the voice actor actually cried because of how sad it was
Ayo gavin? Finally found you
I think the thing that hurts the most about RD2 is that we’ll never get to play such an amazing character like Arthur again. At least with John we got to see/play him again in RD2. I highly doubt Rockstar will ever bring Arthur back, and by the time they decide to make another game it will most likely have different characters/main character. Arthur really is one of the greatest video game characters of all time.

People feel more attached to Arthur because we can control his choices, read his journal and see a life he could’ve had with Mary. His illness gives him clarity and and allows him to see his life more clearly. You become Arthur. Watching a man with little time left trying to right his wrongs and save as many as he can.
Great video I love Arthur he is very heroic
Thank you
@LoganB23 thank you
No problem arthur
That’s a great way to retcon Arthur actually being a character in RDR1. John just doesn’t talk about him because he doesn’t like to talk about him
well that that's the main reason
it was what arthur wanted, for john and his family to leave him and the life behind
I choke sobbed, on the floor, screaming, crying, when Arthur died. he was the best video game character in history. whenever I see edits like this, I start crying.
John thinks about arthur as much as we do in the epilogue
Грустно понимать что Джек довольно плохо помнит Артура, а ведь Артур знал Джека когда тот был ещё маленьким, они вместе ходили на рыбалку, катались на лошадях. Мне действительно грустно осознавать то, что Джек плохо помнит Артура.
Arthur was a good person but he was forced to do bad things
I don't know what's sadder, watching Arthur die, or watching everyone continue on without him.
John is just hiding the pain
Man I cried some real man tears at this scene
I know this is 7 months late but if you talk to Abigail after her conversation with Jack, John actually asks her why she told Jack that he didn't like talking about Arthur much in which case he was fine talking about him but didn't have much that he really had to say, other than how he saved him in the end.
Whether John does or doesn't like to talk about Arthur, he still remembers him, and that's all that matters.
As long as he's still remembered or talked about, he will always be alive.
