Some highlights from me playing RDR2 on my dad's PlayStation. (We wanted to see how fast I would fail with unfamiliar controls)

------

"Your Arthur can't run for shit"

"my gun does my running for me"

------

"No throwing--why do you not have throwing knives??"

"aw, are you missing your favorite?"

"Well sometimes I'd like to kill someone without alerting all the enemies on the freaking map!"

------

"the moustache is going. I'm the one playing. It's going."

* pained and mournful noise *

-------

"what the hell are you riding, a morgan?"

"it has four hooves and takes me places. That's the extent of my knowledge"

-------

"oh god your camp is in a sorry state"

"well if I wanted responsibility I wouldn't be gaming"

---------

"well I don't know which button is 'dive for cover' so I guess berserker it is!"

---------

"I thought the mission said to kill them silently?"

"a knife is silent. Those gurgles don't carry far"

---------

"shitshitshitshitshitshit--"

"how are you not dead yet?"

"I do not know!"

---------

In total it took me two hours to kill Arthur (fist fight with a bunch of O'Driscolls) and until that point I :

* got dad a nice shiny new Springfield Rifle to replace his starter weapon.

* got a nice new shotgun for him.

* took his funds from $28.54 to $400.39

* cleared three missions successfully.

* improved his honor.

* improved his health/stamina.

* got the throwing knives and tomahawks.

* got him a better horse.

* topped up the camp supplies so people weren't starving anymore.

* did some camp chores that had been neglected.

#rdr2 #i have NO IDEA how i lasted that long without dying #dad likes playing rdr1 and doesn't actually care for rdr2 so thats why i was allowed to do what i pleased to his save file #i would Not have had that latitude with his rdr1 playthrough #and our playstyles really reflect who we have spent our time playing as tbh
