It's not just playing a game, but feeling a change called 'the times'.
Jimmy had this feeling in the game.
Unlike the fast pace of the earlier "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare".
"Red Dead Redemption" has a very slow pace, but it is this slowness that makes him feel a real sense of immersion.
Especially since every character in the gang is so alive.
And the NPCs in the game with names and surnames all have such distinct personalities.
For example, Kieran, who was captured from the O'Driscoll gang on the snowy mountain before, saved Arthur's life in front of the cabin.
He expressed his desire to join the Van der Linde gang, but because of his former O'Driscoll gang member status, many people did not give Kieran a good look.
But you can also see that he is trying to integrate into the Van der Linde gang, and unlike the vicious criminals, Kieran is better at raising horses and fishing.
In addition, there is also Trelawny, who is like a gentleman. He is an old swindler who occasionally teams up with the Van der Linde gang. He disappears from time to time to take care of his own business, but he will come back when the gang needs him.
This time, he came to find everyone after hearing about the Blackwater robbery, and brought news of a missing member, 'Sean'.
So Arthur and his companions risked being wanted, sneaked into the area around Blackwater, and rescued this Irish young man, Sean.
However, what impressed Jimmy the most was not how reliable the Irish young man was, but that he especially liked to curse.
Even if he was caught by bounty hunters, severely tortured, and forced to ask about the whereabouts of his companions, the Irish young man still maintained his foul-mouthed nature, and was beaten half to death.
After successfully rescuing Sean, everyone in the camp held a welcome party. Except for Sadie, who was a widow after her husband died, everyone was happily drinking and celebrating Sean's return.
Javier, a Mexican, played romantic tunes, the lazy uncle sang dirty songs, and Karen, the blonde with big breasts, sneaked into the tent with Sean, who had returned to the camp, to do some things that could enhance their friendship but were difficult to describe. The whole gang was immersed in a long-lost atmosphere of joy.
Of course, happy is happy, but after all, Arthur Morgan and his gang are a group of bandits... well, bandits with ideals.
So soon everyone planned a train robbery, which was proposed by John Marston, who had just recovered from his injuries after being rescued from the snowy mountain.
At the same time, in some details of the conversation, Jimmy also understood why Arthur had such a big hostility towards John before.
In their early years, John Marston and Abigail were both orphans adopted by the Van der Linde gang.
But later, John and Abigail got together and had a child: Little Jack.
But John Marston always let himself escape reality, unwilling to take on the family responsibilities as a husband and father, and left the gang and his wife and children at every turn, which also made Arthur very displeased with John.
But this time, John's proposal to stop the train with a tanker was surprisingly reliable.
As for where to get the tanker?
That is naturally Cornwall, this unlucky guy again.
"This Cornwall is too miserable." Jimmy was speechless after looking at the information he found.
Can't you change a sheep to fleece?
After robbing the train before, now he's robbing the tanker, will he blow up Cornwall's factory in the future?
And it seems that he read the introduction that "Red Dead Redemption" will also launch an online mode later, will the enemy in the online network mode also be this Cornwall?
Jimmy kept sighing while doing the quests.
But soon, he got a little excited.
Because the scene of robbing the train next was so cool.
Everyone put the tanker on the railroad tracks in advance, and ambushed in the woods on both sides, while Arthur stood alone on the tanker like the God of War, pulling up his mask, and facing the arrival of the train head-on.
Faced with the train's searchlights, Jimmy switched the camera from the first-person perspective to the cinematic perspective.
Although it was Arthur in the game, Jimmy had already imagined himself as him.
There's no way, it's just too cool.
And this scene in the previous life was a tribute to the most classic train robbery scene in the movie called 'The Assassination of Jesse James'.
In addition to these, there are many similar scenes in the game, such as the snowy road in the prologue, which is a tribute to the classic scene in 'The Hateful Eight'.
At least Jimmy is completely conquered by this scene now.
He even reloaded the game and played the train robbery scene again after robbing it.
However, although this train robbery was smooth and enjoyable, the money was not much, not enough for the gang to fly away.
And this period of free life was soon broken by the arrival of two uninvited guests.
When Arthur took John Marston's son, Little Jack, to fish.
Pinkerton detectives found Arthur and wanted to buy him off to disintegrate the Van der Linde gang.
Arthur naturally refused, but when he went back and told Dutch about this, Dutch said not to panic, the most dangerous place is the safest place.
However, the fact proved that Dutch made a wrong decision this time.
Two Pinkerton detectives not only found Arthur and his gang, but also notified Cornwall, the big capitalist who had been robbed continuously.
And this big capitalist actually disregarded his status and personally came to the area with a large number of armed personnel.
After a bloody battle, Dutch finally understood that this place could not stay any longer.
After discussion, they could only transfer their position and send Arthur and Charles, who had some Native American blood, to find a new camp location.
What Jimmy found surprising was that this Charles, who had taught him to hunt on the snowy mountain before, was completely different from the other members of the gang.
Charles can even be said to be a good person.
When looking for a camp, they encountered a group of Germans who had been robbed by bandits.
Arthur didn't want to care about this, but Charles said that he wanted to help others as much as he could.
Jimmy looked surprised.
But good people are rewarded, after saving the German family, Arthur and his gang not only found a suitable camp, but also received a thank-you gift from the German family: a gold brick.
Soon the story came to a new scene, the town of Rhodes in Lemoyne.
After settling down, Arthur followed Dutch and Hosea to the nearby town of Rhodes to find out the situation.
But they accidentally discovered that Trelawny was locked in a prison wagon. Arthur and the others just wanted to persuade the sheriff to let him go.
But unexpectedly, they accidentally helped the sheriff catch a few other escaped prisoners and made friends with the local police.
However, in this plot, what surprised Jimmy the most was the widow Sadie.
At first, Jimmy thought that this widow, like some of the women in the camp, was basically a logistics NPC.
But he never expected that when going to Rhodes to purchase some daily necessities, Sadie, who was with Arthur, showed a very crazy side.
Faced with the gang who came to cause trouble midway, Sadie didn't say anything and shot the other party directly.
A roadside battle broke out instantly, and the killings were strewn with corpses.
"Damn, this widow is too strong!" Like Arthur in the game, Jimmy was also shocked by Sadie's fighting power.
Micah, who is crazy, bloodthirsty, and looks like a bad guy.
Dutch, the leader of the gang, always has good ideas and plans.
Sadie, who was originally thought to be a weak widow and a little white rabbit, turned into a female God of War.
And Charles, who loves nature and is wholeheartedly benevolent, the lazy uncle.
And Hosea, who is the think tank of the team.
These characters with distinct personalities made Jimmy very curious about what direction the next plot of "Red Dead Redemption" would develop.
