I've been spending my whole time playing poker. Sigh. And you know what.. why the fuck can't I fuck any saloon girls? Come on now.

Stop fooling around and meet that Javier guy

So, yeah. Now that I've been patient, its not so bad. Got enough money to pay off bounties, got some cash to fuck around with (all the lamb fry you can eat!). Getting to know the gang helps, and now that I can fish, its even better, even if they hold the rods upside down.

Seriously. Hopefully he comes back because I have some things to say about Blackwater. I mean.. how can it be worse than what we did in Valentine and in Saint Denis? Good lord. This game is getting insane. Glad I pushed through.

I really wish the game showed exactly what happened in Blackwater. All you really know is that a heist went bad and members of the gang either died or were apprehended.

:Very minor and obvious spoilers for people that haven't got far into the game ahead: Although I think most of what I'm about to write can be inferred by one playing the first game or just reading promotional material about the second.

One of the things I think the game did well was show Dutch's slow slide into both insanity and ever more reprehensible actions. That, and showing how he gets practically addicted to robbing people. He starts off as somebody that's relative to other outlaws and bandits not that bad comparatively. He's not into killing in cold blood, he seems to care about the other people in his gang, maybe even more than himself, and besides the bit of loansharking the gang doesn't really seem to target poor innocent people. You can tell how a lot of that unravels as time goes on. Its amazing how nobody can ever decide to quit while they are ahead in the gang, most of all Dutch, despite the number of jobs they do that go very badly in one way or another. I lost count of the number of times he tells you, "just one last job" or something similar to that, and you know that there will never be that job that really is the last one.

Sure not everybody would have been fabulously wealthy, but most of them would have been far better off if they had just called it quits after their first time making back some money after Blackwater and moving to a different country. The biggest thing that lead to the downfall of the gang, even over other things I won't mention for spoiler reasons, is that too many people remained loyal to Dutch well past the point he no longer deserved it, and when some of the people are finally forced to come to terms with the reality of that it's way too late.

Well shit. I'm done. Maybe. I mean, there was the credits roll. I guess I'll poke around some more and see what else needs doing.

I swear, when they were gonna knock down that shitty ranch house, I thought the money was gonna be in there.

Would have been a great twist if they kept up the plight a little bit longer.

**STORY SPOILERS***

I was hoping for an alternate happy ending where the entire gang finally gets that "big score" or recovers their money from Blackwater and is able to escape to Tahiti where they become mango farmers. All except Micah of course. I hate that guy.

He was easy to dislike, thats for sure.
 
For a while I thought the game making him so obviously a duochebag was going to be some red herring. Turns out he really was simply a douche all along.
 
I was playing the game again after 4 months and..... I got frustrated to not getting/seeing a fucking moose anywhere. And yes, I searched Youtube for "perfect" locations!
