The lads head eastbound and down as they take a ride through the American Inferno and sharp cultural commentary of Rockstar Games’ magnum opus: Red Dead Redemption 2. They discuss the magnificent open world, the labor abuses that went into its creation, and the hauntingly empty void at the heart of the American Dream.

I love AJ's horse corner

The whole discussion near the end about how RDR2 was an artistic video game didn't quite sit right with me. If the main thing making your game artistic is basically writing and story, that's great, but why make it a video game? You all brought up games that tell their story more through their gameplay mechanics, which to me is the best way to make video games their own unique category of art, but you all didn't seem to like the concept generally.

Listening right now and in terms of telling story in game design, when you get to the final camp, you can’t even donate money to the till or upgrade the camp outside what you can do through Pierson because Dutch has smashed the box.

This was really great! Love the video game episodes. Regrettably though I did laugh at the "Dutch angle" joke.

When y’all said there are two different deliveries of all the Arthur lines I literally did a spit-take. What a WASTE OF MONEY

I am in the industry, and the level of scope creep that has continued to flow into AAA games just makes me honestly, so tired. I always say it as eventually everything becomes Skyrim

Jimmy McMillan

Why can't you name horses swares in rdr2? I tried to name a horse Sam Bone in the game which was a nickname I would call my late dog. Apparently SAM BONE was too spicy language for the Puritans at Rockstar Games. Murder is cool but not PG level cursing

prior to listening this was my only knowledge of this game https://www.reddit.com/r/reddeadredemption/comments/afni4a/deluxe_bath_machine_roke_again/

I’ve never seriously played a video game before in my life, but the story on this game sounds interesting enough for someone like me. Wow!
