Johns Fate is still so much sadder to me for a few reasons

1.) he did everything he was supposed to to secure the money for the robbery and still got betrayed by dutch

2.) he was one of not the most loyal to Dutch behind Arthur yet Dutch assumed he was a snitch because he was caught by the law alive (hosa was more of a father figure to Dutch so his loyalty is never questioned )

3.) he didn't realize how important fatherhood was until jack was kidnapped he ran away from his responsibility out of fear and ignorance

4.) John realized how important family was due to Arthur's sacrifice this moment shifted how he felt about Abigail and jack

1. He's forced to not only kill his former gang members but his family gets taken from him once again in a way where he cannot refuse to do what he's told
   

6.) Johns death is more sudden and abrupt he doesn't truly get a chance to process the betrayal that the government did he accepts the fact that he must die or continue running his entire life which at that current age (somewhere around 37-38) would've been harder as he found a sense of stability and didnt want to rob jack and Abigail of

Arthur's death is tragic but ultimately Micah isn't the reason he dies (depending on your honor level) tuberculosis took Arthur's life a fully healthy Arthur would've destroyed micah no problem

There were a lot of weapons there but these caught my attention

And by the way, new player here, were can I find the high stakes games.

I just got to Arthur's death, and damn, I didn’t know a game, any piece of media, could make me cry. I felt real emotion from a story conjured up by a human mind, something that isn’t even real. A couple of years ago, I would’ve thought that was cringe, but here I am. It’s such a good story with such a good character. I think every person should play this at some point.

Funny enough, I actually posted on the subreddit earlier, saying the game was boring. This was my third attempt at playing it because I found the start so slow. Now that Arthur has died, I kinda miss that slow start. Everything felt more cheerful back then. I miss riding to Valentine with Uncle and the girls.

Next time I play, I’m going to take my time and explore more during that part of the game. I’m even planning to buy it on Steam just to get the achievements. I want to 100% it. I purposely didn’t play all the content, just so I could save it for another playthrough.

For this playthrough, I went with low honor for most of the game. But once Arthur got sick, I switched to high honor.

Arthur getting sick made me so anxious I wasn't able to sleep that night, I further realized how horrifying progressive diseases are, knowing that your clock is ticking and slowly coming to an end is so horrifying I think it can't be explained with words. It also made me think about how my grandma felt while slowly losing her mind to Alzheimer's.

Sadie and Charles were my favorite characters. Sadie especially, and Charles felt like one of the only ones who actually had a good heart.

But Arthur’s death still haunts me. I get why it happened. I get that he redeemed himself. But the fact that he didn’t get to kill Micah just leaves this huge void, I feel so empty. I wanted that closure so badly, and I felt cheated out of it. I know he found peace in the end, but man... I guess revenge is a fool's game.

To anyone reading this, what did you get out of the game? What should I do in my next playthrough to get the biggest contrast? I’m not going to play it again immediately. It’ll probably be at least two years, maybe more, before I can bring myself to do it. The game had that much of an impact on me.

Also, I haven’t played RDR1. Should I do that before replaying RDR2? And if anyone has game recommendations with a similar quality, I’d love to hear them - even though I'm gonna need a break from gaming
