This weekend has seen me reach the end of Red Dead Redemption II. I have never been as moved by the ending of a game, or by a videogame protagonist. The sheer depth of this game -- so much so that its credits rolled for thirty minutes, and I was happy to watch because of the glimmers of story that continued to be revealed throughout -- puts it in a class by itself, in my opinion. No videogame, and precious few actual movies, have had character drama this good. I bought a PS4 just to play the game, and I don't regret it a second. I look forward to continuing to explore this amazing world Rockstar created, but now that the first flush is over -- time to go back to reading!
riding off into the sunset i presume...
ReplyDeleteIndeed...there's an aftergame where you can continue to explore the world at will, which is what I was doing there -- moving into a part of the map that's only accessible once the story is finished. Desert country, like New Mexico, Arizona, and west Texas.
ReplyDeleteThey've grown a bit since then. ;)
