When I recorded gameplay back then I just selected any old settings, so it was hard making all of this look better, but most of it is an upgrade :D Enjoy!!

Indeed Khajit's time has come. We miss you Sid, gone but not forgotten.

You actually can skin animals like rabbits in that fashion. Their skin peels off really easily. Most of the skinning animations are fairly correct.

Reuploads are basically like a reminder to rewatch my favorite UNJ videos :)

I'd like to point out that skinning rabbits is, in fact, completely accurate in the game. For reasonably small rabbits, that is: split the skin between head and neck, grab firmly, pull fast and hard. Abracadabra!

You could repload a video 50 times and I feel like I could watch it over again every single time

I love these because I have a habit of rewatching Upisnotjump videos randomly, and so remastering older ones just gives me a reason to do it again except with modern Upisnotjump polish but still with that older Upisnotjump style of writing. It’s like a mixture of pure goodness.

41 seconds since upload and this is a certified jump classic

It was just a few moments but seeing sid once again brought joy to my heart ;u;

I agree it's not a perfect game, but I honestly did not care at all for its flaws. I know only few games, if any, that made me immerse myself in it like RDR 2 did. The beauty was that you could pretty much make Arthur be whoever you wanted. In my gameplay, he was a morally challenged guy. For his family, his gang, he would go through hell and back, commit crimes and such. Every day, he would go hunt, bring food so little Jack could sleep with his belly full. And outside of the gang... he was a hero that helped others. He was a bounty hunter that brought many to justice. Or you could make him into a villain, who took whatever he wanted and shared nothing. A desperado.

We will never forget Sid our collective condolences to both of you.

worth mentioning that mainstream, wide release games often have heavily tutorialized first few missions so that there's virtually zero chance of players getting stuck and frustrated becasue they don't know what to do. some ppl forget what it was like in the 90s when every other video game you tried ended in an unsatisfying dead end you can't figure your way out of, so you spend a few hours wandering around before you remove the game and play mario again

You already know that someone WOULD get confused if missions weren't built like this.

The little segment with the fish postage and sid (RIP) is just class

The fact that you have a million subscribers now makes the part about that even better to see again ❤

I think TES3: Morrowind would make a great Nightmare video. It's an incredible game, but it also absolutely refuses to help you in any way. Most everything will try to kill you, and even the things that don't still think that you're scum. There's no quest markers, and NPCs will even give you mistaken directions to find things. It's so good, and also a complete nightmare at the same time.

RDR2 has two moments that i well never ever forgot, the beauty, the story, the person, the music, the visuals. Just mind blowing

I can finally count every individual strand of your chest hair at a glorious 1080p, as god intended. Thank you so much, UpIsNotJump. I feel complete.

hand to hand combat can actually be very complex in rdr2, unfortunately the game just doesn't teach you how to do anything other than spam the "hit" key. you can do a variety of moves that change depending on what your opponent is doing at the time, all by using the move keys while you press the attack key; your orientations to each other also affect the moves you can do. if you know what you're doing you can have a really fun and engaging fight. but the game doesn't tell you that

I really wish more content creators would take on your stance on videos anytime some KZfaqr video gets demonetized they just remove it and that's it video is gone for good. But you you leave the original up and just remaster it so it is monetized. It's actually bloody brilliant for a number of reasons 1 demonetized videos are simply normally the most entertaining and it gains alot of respect not just bowing down to the KZfaq overlords lol.

Near the end of the game, I had an optional random dialogue scene w Beth where Arthur confesses that he does things and kills people and animals and he doesn’t know why. I’ve honestly never seen this in a game before and it’s an interesting way of the game acknowledging all the random murder and destruction the player causes over the course of the game in the open world, if you choose to play the game that way that is.

Here is an interesting point of view to add to this: The roleplaying servers aspect. Red dead's massive animation and everyday actions range, and quality, has enhanced numerous mod based roleplaying servers to an entirely new level, to the point where a substantial amount of the moments you can live in them are like straight up taken from a movie. They allow you to perform a character in such a complete manner that you feel like you are fusing with the environment and the other player's storyes. The extra animations, the abundance of mundane details, the wide range of clothing and everyday tasks you can partake on, even the use of mail to contact other players in multiplayer... it all contributes to creating an incredible atmosphere where people can bring the best of their own performances and create a cinematic experience right on the go.

Any UpIsNotJump video with "Is an absolute nightmare" in the title will be a banger.

I love when you make games I like into absolute nightmare videos, it makes me realize how stupid some things are in the game without ruining my fun for it. It makes it a “lovable weirdo” type of game lmao

I've been a gamer for, well let's just say a lot of years, and RDR2 is, hands down my favourite of all time. it's not perfect, but it captured my heart in a way no other game has ever done.

Reading Blood Meridian helped me come to terms with Arthur and I using explosive rounds on an entire town of innocent people. The Glanton gang did some truly unspeakable acts. But Arthur gave Little Jack a book. He’s a saint

16:50 "Arthur keeps a diary in cursive!" Everybody wrote in cursive back then. There wasn't really any 'non cursive' writing until block printing since the romans, and even then it was hundreds of years before people actually started writing in 'printed' letters, because everybody wrote with quills, and a quill didn't stop dripping ink just because you picked it up from the page.

It was really hard for me to get into rdr2, but when I got into it, I got INTO it. I remember I had to stay home from school for a while cause I got my wisdom teeth removed and there were a lot of pain issues. I spent 2 days straight basically high playing rdr2’s main story. Absolutely awesome.

You dont actually need to use the Batman Vision to track animals. You can follow their tracks, especially in snow or mud. You *literally* showed that. Game just tells you to use Smell-o-Vision though.

I'm playing this for the first time, about 70% complete. It's a masterpiece. It wouldn't work if the story missions were open ended or didn't create very obvious set pieces by means of prompts because it's a cinematic story game. However it's realism makes it an RPG when not in missions. The 2 don't gel well that's for sure. I binge on a few missions in row to make some story continuity. Next day role play, buy stuff, hunt, base jump etc. It seems better this way.

What a fantastic video! Thank you so much, I really enjoy watching this^^ I love how much effort, work and attention to detail you put into your skript :D

This is my favorite video of yours, the jokes all just land really well and the pacing is incredible!

Don't ever change UpIsNotJump, your style is both hilarious and informative.

I love how UpisnotJump is so incredibly British, he still just looks like a British guy in a cowboy getup. Please don't ever change. ❤️

I would love for you to do a vid for HIFI RUSH! you havent touched on a unique rhythm game like this tbh. Your video on Beat saber was amazing and I was wondering if you can continue to bring that sort of quality and humor into another rhythm game. A more unique one at that! Loving your videos tho professor! Cheers!

Arguably the best KZfaq channel content! I love your channel and have been rewatching all your videos for the (idk how many times now) time. Thanks for your effort you put into your videos! It shows and it’s amazing. I love your editing comedy you use and it fits very well. Have a good one 😊

This is unquestionably the best video you have ever made. I'm fairly sure it's the first one I discovered you with. Anyway, I have watched the original video at least 15 times so here's at least one more. Thank you!

I like how he even dressed for the part addressing the mistakes in the original, that's commitment.

Aww, so glad you reuploaded this! It was really good to see Sid again. ❤

You are entertaining. Thank you. I like the theatre idea I usually watch things like that in detailed game worlds.

smoking and drinking increasing your deadeye is genius

16:45 Cursive writing is actually more informal than print writing at the time of the setting. Writing in cursive is significantly faster than writing in print, but print writing is far more distinct and varies significantly less between individuals.

Your explanation of the scoring system is spot on and I love it

I'm happy that you re uploaded this video became I only got around to playing RD2 a few months ago :D

A remaster of a great video of a great game?! Sure why the hell not, I’ll watch it again (it’s been years). Yee-haw

Reupload? Sounds good, now I can justify watching this video for the 14th time without seeming insane

As a stoner we enjoy things like the theatre as its time to smoke a blunt , i have on many occasions got on the train on rdr2 and rolled a fat blunt and sat back and taken in the sights like im on a real train

that ending diary joke was wonderful. i dont know how you manage to make every single joke incredibly funny and at the farthest possible projection. like in the HL:A video, your monaco joke, or the boss cursing joke ("HE DOES NOW." was such a funny delivery)

This is a certified downisjump classic

I found this channel a few weeks ago and ive never laughed so hard in my life.

For a second I forgot this video already existed. I can rewatch your videos without a sign of stopping man

gotta say, love the cut between seeing the "color correcting" still image then very soon after showing us the footage where you massacre the set-up table. great surprise for those of us that didn't watch the original upload.

its funny how almost 5 years have passed and its still the best looking game ever, almost like this game is so good its made the whole industry go backwards, like look at starfield or redfall for example they look like 2010 games

It took me this long to realise that at some point Matt's suspenders disappear when he's taking off the vest. I don't know why I felt the need to point this out but I think it's mostly because I'm jealous of the cowboy outfit.

Always SO excited to see a new upload! Huge fan

Literally put the original on my watch later yesterday to rewatch it and then the gods of UpIsNotJump blessed me with this

Two UpisnotJump videos in as many weeks?! How did we get so lucky?

My favourite part of Red Dead Redemption II is when Red Dead says: "This is.... My redemption, Two."

Thanks for the vid. Helped me start my day with a laugh. You are funny and insightful.

Great timing when I literally installed RDR2 last night, I had to double check if this was indeed uploaded today cause it felt too much like a coincidence.

You’re one of the few people on this platform who actually cares about what they put out and I love you for that

I remember when I first played this and thinking this was as realistic and beautiful a game could look and behave. I’ve recently played the last of us 2 and have been playing death stranding directors cut and it’s insane that looking back at this I can notice their limitations and the shortcuts they had to take for this game both visually and with the games physics. It’s so amazing how even today their is noticeable improvement in under 10 years

Any upload from UpisNotJump is a treat

1:20 this man is so good at explaining mission so well he could speedrun a movie in 10 minutes RDR2 is a 2018 timeless classic

The biggest problem I had with RDR2 was that it was so 'immersive' that it deconstructed and ruined all the fun of being a cowboy. You can't really run around doing whatever you want because there are real consequences for screwing up and that's about as antithetical to making a Rockstar sandbox game as it gets.

When I see an upload from here, i just cant wait to see the entourage of props

Your videos are the greatest. I will happily watch a reupload...plus I have ADHD so I could watch it several times and it's all new to me.

My thought pretty much exactly. The free roaming in the open world didnt really match the story. It never does in a rockstar game. Even though it was hilarious to see Arthur preach Dutch about killing innocent people in some of the cut scenes when you have had Arthur kill more innocent people in one play session than the whole gang combined, rockstar should still choose a path. It seems now more than ever after GTA 5 and RDR 2 that Rockstar wants to make these interactive movies with a clearly defined story path but dont want to let go the thing that made the old GTA games famous. The mayhem! This could have easily been fixed in RDR 2 by making the morality system influence your progress ability. If you go all psycho you would have to make up for it or pay the bounty before you can progress the story. Instead of just some random characters just telling you to stop killing innocent people. But then again the story path isnt that well refined either. Story missions too often entail you killing tons of people/lawmen but that doesnt stop you from returning to that place in the future. You can still easily roam the streets of St. Denis even after you murder half the police force during that trolley station robbery. In fact the story requires you to return there. Rockstart should make up their minds and make a linear narrative driven game or a open world RPG (lite) with some consequences. I think should be the fírst option because how rigid the mission design already is. As for the "realism"... Jesus christ! Do we need to see the god damn skinning animation every time?! And who ever though up that bathing "minigame" should burn in hell! And why even bother adding an "special bath option" when the game is otherwise so prudish. Also I'm not so impressed with rockstars writing as many are. As video games they are very well writen and there are some great characters here and there. But the main stories in their games are very predictable and rely heavily on cliches lifted from crime or western movies. And all too often they seem to highlight the upcoming story beats in the same way it does mission objectives. If you pay attantion I mean. I didnt even know that RDR 2 was prequel because I havent played the RDR but I could still see where it's headed from the start and had zero surprises during the story.

awwww love the sid moments way 2 keep him live in our hearts gr8 vid! as always

this video made me realize that watching any old upisnotjump video now will be a tinge bittersweet any time I reach a Khajit intermission

its always a joy to see this guy upload a video-- even if it's one i've already seen lmao

This was the first video of yours I saw and I'm so glad to be here to see the remaster!

Two of my favorite things RDR and UpIsNotJump going on for a while about a lot of details my zombie brain doesn't always think about, unless I'm on one of my "everything is in the matrix" mindset where I try to wake NPCs up to the mechanics of the games that hold them in place, wasting hours trying to control things and cause lots of chaos.. Entertaining as always! 🤠

Been insanely busy lately, had this in 'watch later' for ages. But later has finally arrived. I never get tired of your reviews, it's like Family Guy after they stumbled through the first season... you never knew when a cutaway joke was going to...slap postage stamp onto fish!

Anyway, in the theatre you can see a segment talking about what happened in the region of the whispering trees, where you can hear the same voices from the theatre story through the woods at night. There are a lot of small and not so small secrets to unveil!

do one on star citizen it definitely wont be a nightmare, also great vid! always glad to see you come up in my feed

Did.....Did you just remaster a video? You're wonderful.

Your Fallout 4 VR Video is one of my favorite KZfaq video of all time, definitely a fan :)

love your videos, you are one of my favourite youtubers. I would love to see you do one of these of Metroid: Dread :)

stop being a comedical genius I don't know if thats the word but damn, all you videos make me die of laughter

I love all ur videos man litrally just said to gf when's he ganna upload and here we are ahaha ur amazing keep it up ❤❤

A remaster of the first Upisnotjump video I ever watched? Yummy

Seeing sid in this video brought a smile to my face, he wont be forgotten.

1:36 I like what you did with the FTL soundtrack there

the name UpIsNotJump blew my mind 🤯 subscribed

Love re-discovering your video

love the mood lighting

Jokes aside, you have _most certainly_ earned the 6:17 bit. outstanding quality in your vids. 👍 cheers, man. been here since the Elite Dangerous vid.

You really hit the nail on the head on why Rockstar games feel so dead to me. They might have huge beautiful and intricately crafted worlds but they might as well not do for how much it impacts the gameplay. Every single mission in these games could be set in a linear world with no issue since you never really utilize the fact that it's open world, you don't even do as much as take a shortcut in the chases and infact you are forbidden from ever doing so because the mission fails if you loose sight for like ten seconds. The world is basically just set dressing since there aren't really any systems that matter or do anything, the only mechanic they have is getting chased by the cops. So usually these games are the most fun when you're just free roaming but for some reason they gate content behind the missions and that's literally the only reason anyone ever plays. Because you very quickly become painfully aware that as much as these games tend to be mechanically excellent their writing is terrible, I can't speak for Read Dead, but GTA V has some of the most shallow and grating writing of any game. It's trying so depserately to be topical and shocking but is so scared of taking any kind of stand that it feels like South Park.

I remembered my bad habit of watching the gps more than the landscape in RDR1 and was glad to find that RDR2 has an option to replace it with a compass with an arrow showing you the marked direction and nothing more. I generally tend to turn off the GPS in anything else than Truck Simulator

The best thing about remasters is getting to see Khajit again. What a wonderful cat.

honestly, i still remember games ending like i finished it yesterday, and its so heart tearing on meta level my guy arthur dying from pneumonia, and he's coughing all the time in the end was so real i even stopped smoking to refill deadeye his last words to john about leveng fair life just to know what terrible fate awaits him eventualy but the momet that spawns waterfall in my eyes was when arthur released my hourse which ive grown quite attached to, my legendary white baby paper butt slapped so she run far away from bullets... man

Adorable. The new music really makes it.

Good job on the remaster

Well time to rewatch this, I've only rewatched it recently as well haha

A video remaster I'm more than content to rewatch again (I rewatched the original vid alot anyways)

The horse thing is pretty realistic. I swear they wait until humans are nearby to start shitting.

I like how you do an intro and then proceed to throw as much information as possible. I’m on the verge of a stroke right now.

I'm old enough to remember when this was one of the biggest and most complex video up worked on

Rewatching old vids becuase we love your content. Also 🥰 Sid
