I think the experience of finishing RDR1 then mourning, then discovering that you'll mourn again in RDR2 and then the solace of a "restorative" ending to that game
Is a fascinating and beautiful process.
And you'll see how influential RDR1 was and why Yasumi Matsuno adorned it
@BarryBerkman6 i'm gonna sound like an absolute try hard. but i think Metal Gear 2 and MGS1 are probably my favourite games from the whole series...
And I have a soft spot for Ground Zeroes. Which I think is a magnificent game, that was drowned by the discourse regarding its length and price
@StormLavaNew@Skallywag_again exactly. thank you! so many philistines here on this app who haven't played RDR1, not knowing that it's low-key more fascinating and most probably better than 2.
also, i find it interesting how many RDR2 fans refuse to touch or even play RDR1
Google apologized to a man whose Lord of the Rings movies vanished from his digital library
After initially refusing a refund, they gave him links to the movies that still ask him to buy them again
@Sj202525657 Absolutely. This was an insane moment.
i think it would be rather shocking (in a good way) if they did this for Oba vs Bron
a Match that ends so quickly in such explosive fashion
@BarryBerkman6 Absolutely, Playing MGS3 before playing the rest won't truly enrich the experience
however playing the MGS1 or even Metal Gear 1 & 2 first and encountering big boss as a villain, then playing as him later on in MGS3... Is definitely a far richer experience
Without giving away specifics/spoilers...
The narrative of RDR1 ends with taking away that which you thought could never be taken away (In regards to videogame storytelling)
By the end of RDR2, They give back, what they took from you.
@bartonovopolis@Skallywag_again I think the experience of finishing RDR1 then *mourning*, then discovering that you'll mourn again in RDR2 and then the solace of a "restorative" ending to that game.

@bartonovopolis@Skallywag_again I disagree my friend, and you know I share I love ya🥲

Arik my friend no shade intended, but my outlook…
Avery is 19. His Father was paying dues and making sacrifices throughout that young man’s youth that some people may never understand. When you’re the family holding down the fort.
To simplify…he already set up the fn’ chairs
It’s embarrassing, dude. You’re pushing 50 and you’ve been crying all weekend about a teenager that’s had two matches not breaking down the ring.
Grow up.
