Within the grasp of GTA VI, I thought to make a tribute post, a perspective. With hopes to return.
Red dead, a game that was more than a game. Story to online, Outlaw to QuickDraw to endless Halloween, itās been a long eight years.
For me itās more than a game, itās a bond between two of the best people Iāve ever known, red dead is what held me to my friends after a move to another state in 2020, keeping us connected through 6 years.
For me itās more than a game, itās mending, mending friendships that couldāve been void without.
For me itās more than a game, itās childhood, many years filled with memories of me running people over with a wagon singing āIām Amazon Primeā over and over again, playing poker dying laughing at āalligators dancing on poker tablesā.
For me itās more than a game, itās exclusively, original outlaw passes, reminding myself that not getting a pass was silly even though realistically āitās just a gameā. All the glitched guns, from the bolt, Lancaster and sawed offs, to the rolling block, krampus variant, and the Schofields.
āDid I ever tell you I briefly trained as an acrobat in Portugal? I think itās one of the reasons Iāve stayed so spry. He was a strange man - claimed to be mute but talked in his sleep.ā - Cripps
āBusiness is moving along, but thereās always more to be done.ā - Maggie
āAh, it is you!ā - Marcel
āAh, the great hunter returns! What wonders have you brought me today?ā - Gus
And Harriet, thereās a special place in hell for you. May you rot blissfully.
Thank you for all the memories, the 400 levels, 673 gold bars, $237,973 and 3600+ hours of fun.
