In this episode, did we save her or did we almost
0:03
kill her? Is Ricketts drunk? And did we really
0:07
do all of that for only two people? Thank you
0:13
for coming back for more replay reviews. My name
0:15
is Leah. And my name is Kathy. We are two friends
0:17
who are here to replay, review, and analyze your
0:20
favorite video games. And since Kathy has never
0:22
seen the games before, it helps me view them
0:24
through her fresh eyes. Almost like I'm discovering
0:27
them again for the first time. We hope it will
0:29
be a similar experience for you. So let's get
0:38
into scene one. John finds Ricketts at a saloon
0:41
where he's talking to two men about Javier. One
0:44
of the men's sister has been taken by Javier
0:47
and his men, it sounds like. But they don't recall
0:51
Bill being with him. They head to El Matadero
0:55
to find info about the sister. Her name is Luisa.
0:58
On the ride, we learn that Luisa is a rebel and
1:02
is close to the rebel leader, Abraham Reyes.
1:06
Ricketts says she's young and pretty, which is
1:08
apparently enough reason for Allende. Again,
1:13
that's how John says it. It's hard. I barely
1:16
took Spanish, but it's hard for me to not want
1:19
to say Allende. I can barely say Abraham in its
1:24
correct way. I know. I say the words Abraham,
1:28
but so. I'm sure we'll flip it out. I mean, by
1:30
no means are we Spanish experts. By no means.
1:33
Did I want to take it in high school? No. Did
1:36
I have to? Yes. Was I bad at it? Also, yes. But
1:41
some things are still with me. Anyway, so Allende
1:46
sounds like he's kind of a creep. Kind of a perv.
1:50
there's one part where it's um the spanish speaker
1:54
ricketts and john and pretty much this entire
1:58
game up through here whenever they're speaking
2:00
spanish we get no translation and then here i
2:03
feel like maybe it's a moment for the players
2:05
but john's like yeah i got it when ricketts is
2:07
trying to translate but it's that part was obvious
2:10
enough so i feel like that's exactly how we feel
2:13
is like this part we got it but everything else
2:16
why didn't you give us any context clues I like
2:19
it just because it seems like it's John's perspective.
2:24
Like he pipes in when he knows something, which
2:26
is pretty obvious that most people would probably
2:29
know it, even just by context. But when there's
2:32
full conversations, yeah, we get Spanish subtitles,
2:35
but not English translation. And so I think that's
2:39
just indicating to us what John is understanding.
2:43
I mean, I'm fine with that. I think it's just
2:44
hilarious too when John's like, yeah, I got it.
2:47
Yeah. He's like, I'm stupid, but I'm not that
2:50
stupid. Come on. Okay, but Kathy, we send this
2:57
butcher, Carlos, to distract two guards from
3:00
the entrance of the cave, right? But not five
3:03
seconds later, we're in a massive shootout with
3:06
the whole army. I'm like, what was the point
3:08
of distracting the guards? Yeah. Literally no
3:12
point for Carlos to be in this game. Sorry, bud.
3:15
Maybe Carlos was like the nephew of the game
3:17
developer and they had to give him something
3:19
to do. Oh, what's your next note? About blowing
3:23
open the door. Yeah. What's up with that? That's
3:29
really what the question is. You're trying to
3:32
be subtle, and then yet you blow up this entire
3:35
door when you could easily kick it open. And
3:37
the thing is that you could have killed everyone
3:39
there. If it was just like a cave, you don't
3:41
know what's in there, that entire thing could
3:43
have collapsed and killed Louisa. I'm so glad
3:46
you reacted to this the same way I did. Because
3:49
I was, okay, do you really need dynamite to open
3:52
that cell? Can you not shoot the lock? How strong
3:55
could they have possibly built this thing? And
3:57
then the best part. So giant explosion to get
4:01
this one handmade cell door in a cave open. And
4:06
then Ricketts comes out with Louisa flung over
4:09
his shoulder and says, poor girl's barely alive.
4:12
Well, maybe it's because you used dynamite three
4:15
feet away from her. But that's just my thought.
4:19
They do save her. They do not kill her accidentally
4:22
by using dynamite. And she says she doesn't think
4:25
Javier was with the men who captured her, but
4:28
she remembers the name from prison. She says
4:30
bad people spoke of him. Sometime later, John
4:35
finds Landon playing poker at the saloon. He's
4:38
forced to join the game, and then they get accused
4:40
of cheating by Moeller, the German guy. Things
4:44
escalate, and then our favorite moment. So we're
4:51
watching. And you go, isn't this like a Mexican
4:55
standoff or something? And you're like, hold
4:57
on, hold on, hold on. Wait, wait, wait, hold
5:00
on. And then Moeller goes, there must be a name
5:03
for this. That joke is so underrated. It's right
5:08
up there for me with, I don't like women, partner.
5:13
This one is too good. Well, after the Mexican
5:17
standoff. John is challenged to a duel. He wins.
5:20
I didn't even try to just disarm Muller. I'm
5:22
like, you know what? You're a bit excessive.
5:27
You want it to be done. I don't, you know, he
5:32
asked for it. Someone else then takes a woman
5:36
hostage in order to force John to duel him. Okay,
5:40
he wins. And then a town -wide shootout begins.
5:45
What's up with all this shooting? Do they have
5:47
excess ammo to use? Right, they're in a war.
5:52
Why are they wasting bullets like this? Why won't
5:55
you save your strength against the common enemy
5:57
here? Why? This is so unnecessary. Next, John
6:01
goes looking for Allende, but finds Captain DeSanta,
6:05
who is interesting. I immediately don't like
6:08
him. And I don't like how he jokes around. Immediately,
6:11
I don't trust him, nor do I like him. So he says
6:15
that Allende is trying to keep the people alive
6:17
and preserve order. We'll see. John tells him
6:21
who he's been trying to find, and DeSantis says
6:23
that they're probably with the rebels, again,
6:26
led by Reyes. They don't know where he is, but
6:29
they're trying to lure him into a trap, so John
6:31
joins them. So there's some conversation about
6:34
how John needs to find Bill, but he's also not
6:38
paying to do it. What incentive does John have?
6:43
to do this for for free i guess i'm also assuming
6:48
that he did some jail time after everything that
6:51
went wrong but i what do you think do we i guess
6:55
do we know enough to guess why he's he's doing
6:59
this for free we've had references that he's
7:02
here against his will and in a couple scenes
7:04
we'll learn more exactly why that is I think
7:09
it's when he's riding with Espinoza, whatever
7:12
that guy's name is, in a few scenes. But basically,
7:15
the government kidnapped his wife and son and
7:18
is using them as leverage to force him to do
7:21
this. Okay. I didn't realize it was because they
7:25
were kidnapped. The plan is to escort a train
7:28
meant to look like a supply train. They assume
7:31
the rebels will attack it, and they do. They
7:33
fight them off, and then sometime later, the
7:35
rebels launch another attack. And then they steal
7:38
the train. John is enlisted, and only John is
7:41
enlisted, to stop the train before it crosses
7:43
the bridge. This entire scene, the fight scene,
7:47
John's pretty much doing it all by himself. And
7:50
it also shows how useless DeSanta is. Mm -hmm.
7:54
And again, John's just being... I mean, the government's
7:57
manipulated him into doing this, but now the
8:00
Mexican army's manipulating him into doing things
8:02
because if he doesn't help them, they're not
8:05
going to give him information. And he has to
8:07
go with whatever he has at the moment to ensure
8:12
his family stays alive. So it's kind of, you
8:15
can start to understand it, but it's still frustrating.
8:19
But also, who blew up the bridge? Okay, so it's
8:25
either the rebels or it's either the Santa's
8:28
people making a mistake. I don't know. But maybe
8:32
there's a third group of people out there that
8:34
are screwing with both parties. Because the rebels
8:37
are stealing it because they think it's supplies,
8:39
right? Mm -hmm. So they wouldn't want to destroy
8:41
it. John was sent to stop it before it crosses
8:45
the bridge. Because I think if it crosses the
8:47
bridge, then the rebels are free. They have their
8:49
supplies. But why would they need to stop the
8:52
train if they rigged it to explode? I don't know.
8:55
I don't know either. Burning question. Maybe
8:58
we'll ask Reddit. We didn't really do any Reddits
9:00
last year. We were too busy. We were dying. This
9:03
year... We will have time. And again, you have
9:06
diapers behind you. Oh, that's just an empty
9:09
box. You always have diapers behind you. Yes.
9:16
What was that? Season one? Season two? Season
9:19
one or season... I think it was like... season
9:20
one i think i had like six boxes of diapers just
9:24
stacked up ready for baby showers this is that
9:27
empty box of diapers it's just i'm using it for
9:30
my recycling but i love how you notice the diapers
9:32
i'm just like wait i'm getting deja vu where
9:37
were we okay scene three are you ready for that
9:39
okay sometime later again john finds ricketts
9:43
again in the saloon again Landon questions John,
9:47
who reveals he's tried to live a better life
9:50
since the gang left him after being shot. I tried
9:53
to go straight. I did. I left the gang after
9:57
the gang left me. Left me to die after I'd been
10:00
shot. Ain't all gone crazy anyhow. Our old leader?
10:06
Fellow you probably heard of. Anyway, he more
10:09
or less lost his mind, went and shot a bunch
10:11
of people unfair like. I got shot in a robbery.
10:16
They left me, and I left them. So we got some
10:19
more background on kind of what went down. Just
10:22
to clarify, he was left behind when he got shot,
10:26
and then in the start of the game, he was also
10:29
shot and left behind. So did Bill do that twice?
10:32
John is shot during a robbery. We don't know
10:34
by who, by what side. We just know that basically
10:37
they left him for dead. They cut him as dead
10:40
weight. Man, this man has been through it twice.
10:44
Throughout this conversation, we both kind of
10:46
felt like Ricketts is drunk a bit. Like he's
10:50
being kind of weird. He, yeah. Okay. So they're
10:54
talking and getting drunk. And then Louisa runs
10:56
in and asks them to help save prisoners who are
10:59
about to be executed without a trial. We managed
11:02
to hijack the prisoner wagon and drive it safely
11:05
to America where we released them. But do you
11:07
have anything before we get there? I think this
11:09
is just proving DeSanta wrong. So earlier back
11:12
in, I think it was like scene one, when they're
11:14
writing to stop the train, DeSanta says that,
11:18
well, in Mexico, we have a whole justice system.
11:21
And immediately you cut to the scene where it's
11:23
like, no, you don't. Speaking of DeSanta, as
11:28
they're writing to save the prisoners, Ricketts
11:33
gets kind of mad at John for his involvement
11:35
with DeSanta. But John's reaction is basically
11:38
like, I don't want to be here. If you could help
11:42
me more, I wouldn't need to, you know, talk to
11:44
this guy. This is where John starts to get frustrated
11:47
because now he's in the middle. Both sides like
11:50
him. Both sides hate him. And he's like, I just
11:53
want to go home. I feel for John because I know
11:56
he needs the information. But my frustration
11:59
is if you know this person isn't really trustworthy,
12:02
why? believe him like i know you're desperate
12:06
but we don't know just ain't enough yet but the
12:09
more we know him the more john needs to start
12:12
thinking critically and thinking that some people
12:15
might have bad intention and feed me bad information
12:18
i know i want to see john being a bit more intimidating
12:22
because we know he has it in him okay but yes
12:26
so we do a lot of work to free these prisoners
12:29
and there was at least two prison wagons maybe
12:32
three But we just take one across the river and
12:34
there's two prisoners in it. What happened to
12:38
the other wagon? Did we really do all of this
12:40
for only two people? Apparently. I don't get
12:44
it. Well, it sounds like we'll be parting ways
12:47
with Ricketts. He tells John to talk to Louisa
12:50
and that she can help him because she's well
12:53
connected. John rides to her family's house where
12:56
they're getting ready to leave, except for Louisa.
12:58
She wants to stay and fight. Her parents and
13:01
brother are heading to the hills and her sister
13:03
is being sent to the Yucatan. And Louisa asks
13:06
John to take her to the docks. Too much work.
13:09
She could have just gone to the docks herself.
13:11
And how many blankets do they need to pack? Right?
13:14
There is something. I do want to go back. I think
13:16
I recorded the timestamp around 5420 where it
13:20
was just me going like, why don't you just run
13:22
them over when John's... On the wagon. And then
13:25
immediately, we do see that this guy's, like,
13:29
flying after you run him over. Yeah. So good.
13:35
I love the ragdoll physics in this game. It's
13:38
so entertaining. Well, after a bumpy ride, we
13:41
do get Miranda to safety, and then John heads
13:44
back to Escalera to see DeSanta again, who's
13:46
listening to Allende rant. John just sneaks a
13:51
little introduction in there. When questioning
13:53
him about Javier, he says the same thing, that
13:56
he's the type of man that would join up with
13:58
Reyes. While watching the gameplay, I wanted
14:01
people to know how much we enjoyed watching the
14:03
Santa cower while he was getting yelled at. You
14:06
just like him being put in his place. Satisfying.
14:11
So, Alinda says he'll help locate Bill and Javier,
14:13
but tells John he has to help him out first.
14:16
John is sent with the Santa to help clear out
14:20
some rebels. and then burn the town they're staying
14:23
in. I do have a question here. Do you think that
14:26
they really needed John's help? Because John
14:28
should have, in my opinion, been like, I'll help
14:32
you, but you need to give me a little bit of
14:34
information first. John is just going with whatever
14:37
they say, and I think that really is frustrating
14:39
for me because, come on, give him a small piece
14:42
or some kind of incentive for him to keep doing
14:45
your dirty work. Well, also, if Javier's a rebel,
14:48
why not just... deliver him to john but anyway
14:54
so they burn down the town and then soldiers
14:57
take women for allende uh just a bonus they say
15:01
no i don't like this i don't either uh and then
15:09
i noticed as the scene fades out it shows the
15:13
church on fire and it shows like the cross with
15:16
flames behind it And I feel like that's just
15:17
pretty good symbolism that I've missed until
15:20
this point. I interpret that as that the one
15:23
thing that unites everyone together, like that
15:27
they see not necessarily power, but more authority
15:30
and things they believe in is the church. And
15:33
by destroying that, I feel like the symbolism
15:35
is that now the colonel is the religion. Like
15:39
he's the top dog kind of situation. Yeah, I agree.
15:43
It's like he's playing God. And so there's a
15:46
symbolism there. And then there's also the symbolism
15:48
with John. He set it on fire. So it's symbolism
15:51
of his part that he's now playing in it. Yeah,
15:55
he's just doing this to fulfill his duties, get
15:57
his family back. But he's still doing some bad
15:59
things. He's not innocent. Moving on to our fourth
16:05
scene. In Escalera, John is approached by DeSanta
16:08
and some soldiers. He's asked to ride with them
16:11
and says they've been betrayed. He assures John
16:14
that they'll find the men you seek. So it sounds
16:18
like the rebels have taken over an abandoned
16:20
town, and they cannot be allowed to establish
16:23
a stronghold, so they've been commanded to kill
16:26
them all. Once there, a battle breaks out, ending
16:29
with the rebels being defeated. Notes? My next
16:33
note is about pleasure doing business with you
16:35
boys. I can't remember when that happened. I
16:40
don't either. Okay, ignore me. Keep going, keep
16:44
going. So maybe it'll come back to you. But DeSantis
16:47
says to John that they'll talk once the army
16:50
gets back to Escalera. John replies, next time
16:52
I see you, you better have some answers, Captain.
16:54
So he's getting impatient now, which I'm like,
16:57
finally, John, thank you. He lets him have this
17:01
one, but kind of threatens him a little bit.
17:04
John then rides to Louisa's house, which has
17:06
been burned down, and she's just sitting on the
17:09
hot coals. But she's beside herself because Reyes
17:13
has been captured. She says he was on his way
17:16
to meet her at a romantic spot and was ambushed.
17:19
She says, in her hearts, we are married already.
17:23
This is also when she gets pretty darn dramatic.
17:27
She's like, I wait for my country. And about
17:31
everything. And I was like, calm down, calm down.
17:35
But I can see her just being distressed that.
17:39
Of course she falls for the top dog leading the
17:42
revolution and so forth. She's very dramatic
17:47
and very much wants to be a big part of this.
17:51
She's young, so it makes sense for her character.
17:55
And I like how you can sort of see John picking
17:57
up on the same thing we're picking up on. He
17:59
doesn't really respond. He just nods his head,
18:02
you know, and then it's like, well, let's go
18:04
get him. He understands. Does John realize the
18:08
dangers he's putting himself in by helping both
18:11
the rebels and DeSanta's group? I don't know.
18:16
I don't think he's taking the time to think about
18:20
that. Though he should be. And I also think he's
18:23
just trying to be a better person still. And
18:27
so helping Luisa is part of that. I mean, who's
18:31
just going to leave a sad, weeping woman? on
18:35
a pile of burned down house. Santa would have
18:39
left her. You'd have to be pretty heartless to
18:41
do that. And John's not heartless. They set out
18:45
to rescue him. John sneaks into the prison just
18:48
in time to save Abraham from being executed.
18:52
Reyes is immediately not what we expect after
18:55
all the praise Louisa has been giving him. Am
19:02
I wrong? You're not wrong. We, considering how
19:07
we know he's one of the leaders, and we just
19:11
hear Louisa praise him, which I know she's a
19:14
bit dramatic, but still, we're like, high hopes.
19:17
And you see this man, which we pretty much, at
19:20
one point, falls off the horse. We'll get there.
19:26
But yeah, he doesn't even remember her name.
19:29
He keeps calling her Laura. Anyway, moving on
19:34
to the ragdoll off the horse. So there's two
19:37
horses in this prison, but apparently Reyes cannot
19:40
ride in his current state, even though he's running
19:43
and walking. And he hops. He can hop onto a horse.
19:48
Yeah, so he jumps onto the back of John's horse.
19:50
We're galloping full speed. I don't know if he
19:55
gets shot. Or what happened, but he just, like,
20:00
there's maybe a brief T -pose in there. And then
20:02
he just backflips off the horse. And I'm like,
20:06
what happened? So I stop, and I look back, and
20:08
he's just scurrying behind me to try to catch
20:13
up and jumps back off the horse. That was too
20:16
funny. This is why people need to watch the video
20:18
episodes, because you'll be able to see it. I'll
20:20
add it in there. He's also very dramatic saying
20:24
like, oh, they're going to write songs about
20:26
how I fought off a hundred of his men with my
20:30
bare hands. But you needed saving, dude. You
20:33
could have died and no one would have cared.
20:35
Right? And my favorite thing is John's response.
20:38
He says, all you've done is get on the back of
20:40
this horse, my friend, and you barely managed
20:43
that. And the fact that he fell off the horse
20:47
in my gameplay just makes that line. pristine.
20:51
It's so good. I think the reason why he and Louisa
20:56
get along so well is that they both are super
21:00
dramatic. Very dramatic, very head in the clouds
21:03
kind of people. But he says, I will help you
21:07
find those men and in return you will win a people
21:09
her freedom. Then honestly, I think John could
21:12
care less. And then he calls her Laura again.
21:15
In song this time though. John rides back to
21:20
Escalero the next day to hopefully get some answers
21:22
out of DeSanta. When he arrives, DeSanta and
21:25
his waiter friend, which is what he's referred
21:27
to in this game. He doesn't have a name as far
21:29
as I know. They're taking women to Allende. John's
21:33
not too happy about it. Which feels good. At
21:36
least one character is annoyed at this, right?
21:38
Mm -hmm. They inform John. That they'll tell
21:41
him where Javier is if he does a dangerous mission
21:44
for them. Which, pause, didn't they say that
21:47
they were already going to give him some, like,
21:49
tips or whatnot? Like, explanations? So why are
21:53
you, again, they're like, we'll tell you after
21:55
you finish this. And then he does what he needs
21:57
to do. John, come on. I thought you were done
21:59
with this. I thought you were laying down the
22:01
law. I feel like he spent Mexico a week and got
22:04
nowhere. Why are they Adelante throwing up like
22:07
that? Yeah. Yeah. This is why they need John
22:14
to do things, because Zelenda is just getting
22:17
drunk. Yeah, which, at this point, I do have
22:20
some questions here about John and his moral
22:23
compass and his ethics. Earlier, when we first
22:26
meet him and DeSanta and their writing, he's
22:29
pretty much sticking up for the rebels. Kind
22:31
of pisses DeSanta off. Yet, when it comes, push
22:34
comes to shove, he doesn't care about females
22:36
getting raped. I thought... John would have more
22:39
ethics and more of a moral compass because he
22:41
like yeah he's done things wrong but he's a he's
22:45
a new person now he's trying to fix what he's
22:47
done wrong go back to his wife yet I'm confused
22:51
like now he doesn't care about those I think
22:53
he does care why didn't he do anything about
22:56
those two girls or three getting dragged what
22:59
can he do when they were just a bonus I mean
23:02
he commented about that here he's like more loyal
23:05
followers you know sarcastically So he's sort
23:08
of saying things to express his displeasure at
23:12
what they're doing. But what can he do? They're
23:15
at their headquarters. So I don't think he approves
23:18
of it. Okay. If that makes you feel better. It
23:22
does make me feel a bit better, but I feel like
23:25
John isn't doing enough to... I get his hands
23:30
are tied, though. I was watching this game. I'm
23:33
frustrated. Everything John has been doing this
23:35
entire... episode has been irritating me there's
23:41
a lot of people who don't love the mexico section
23:44
of this game so you're not alone okay um but
23:50
of course they are attacked by rebels while making
23:52
the ammunition delivery they continue on the
23:54
road on their route and i think it's s but did
23:58
you write the name down i didn't espinosa yeah
24:00
espinosa is the uh the general or the whatever
24:04
that he's writing with And he says, there's something
24:07
wrong. I feel it. John says, maybe you just need
24:11
to take a piss or something. Come on, John, why
24:15
not trust this guy? Of all the people you should
24:17
trust. Especially after they've already been
24:19
attacked once. Yeah. John just can't help with
24:23
the witty one -liner. He just has to do it. Anyway,
24:27
they survive the attacks and get the ammo to
24:29
Chuparosa. And from there, board the train to
24:32
complete the delivery. Lots of shooting. Lots
24:35
of rebels jumping awkwardly and glitching across
24:38
the trains. And then after reaching the destination,
24:42
John says, I don't think DeSanta expected us
24:45
to come back from this. So they basically sent
24:47
John and Espinosa on a suicide mission. Why do
24:53
they still give DeSanta the benefit of the doubt?
24:57
Like, Espinosa and John should know better than
25:00
to trust DeSanta at this point. I think this
25:04
is the clincher. This is where the trust is completely
25:08
broken. I love Espinosa saying, do you want to
25:11
kill him or should I? Doesn't Captain Espinosa
25:13
also call DeSanta a pathetic little boy who chases
25:16
after barmen? Yeah. He hates the guy so much.
25:21
Yeah. But John's response to, like, do you want
25:25
to kill him or should I? Is, I need him alive.
25:29
Like, he knows he has information that he's holding
25:31
from John. He's just trying to figure out how
25:34
to get that out of him. And I think this is the
25:36
point where he realizes doing favors for him
25:39
is not getting him that. I don't know when this
25:42
takes place, but I had a random note saying,
25:44
DeSanta obviously has mommy issues. I don't know
25:49
where that is applied, but... He's got a lot
25:55
of issues. Yeah. Didn't he say, like, my dad
25:58
beat me and called me a girl? And John's like,
26:01
that explains a lot. I think there was a comment
26:04
about that where DeSantis is saying that women
26:06
are frustrating or something like that, like
26:08
my mom or something. Yeah, it was like two contradicting
26:12
statements. Like, this is something positive,
26:14
like my mom. Something negative, like my mom.
26:16
It's like, okay, I think you're just spewing
26:19
shit out of your mouth. Maybe that's why he likes
26:22
barmen. But there's only the one bar. man that
26:28
we see, but they act like there's hundreds of
26:31
them. So, as discussed, John is running out of
26:35
patience, and he returns to Escalera, and one
26:38
day tells him Bill and Javier have been captured
26:40
in Chuparosa. He sends DeSanta with him to retrieve
26:44
them. On the way to Chuparosa, this is where
26:47
they have that conversation we were just discussing,
26:50
John will ask how they found them, and DeSanta
26:53
responds, all rats must come out of their holes
26:56
eventually. So kind of, like, not really a direct
27:00
answer. Mm -hmm. They reach Chuparosa. DeSantis
27:04
says they're being held in the church, and John
27:06
heads in. Turns out it's a setup. John gets knocked
27:10
out. Quickly after, he comes to outside and is
27:13
about to be executed, but is saved last second
27:16
by Reyes. So maybe it's good that he's doing
27:19
all these side missions so someone could save
27:21
his butt when the time comes. Right. I just...
27:26
Okay. I was so frustrated with John because like
27:29
you knew something was wrong. Espinosa warned
27:31
you something was wrong. Yet you still, I get
27:34
you're desperate for information, but man, don't
27:37
you have a sixth sense? Like where's your gut
27:39
intuition? So I'm not surprised that he gets
27:42
betrayed by DeSanta and nearly dies a third time.
27:46
I agree. I mean, yeah, the lure of they're in
27:49
there is pretty strong. So I get it, but. He
27:54
could have been a little more cautious about
27:56
his approach. Okay, now I'm going to break your
28:00
brain. So he's saved by Reyes, right? And you
28:03
might be asking, how did he know? How is he here
28:06
just in time to save John? Let me show you if
28:11
we go back a few minutes to around an hour 46.
28:15
Because the last we heard about Reyes, he was
28:17
on a boat with Louisa to somewhere. So let me
28:21
show you this. Look at this. Who's this, Kathy?
28:26
Wait. Okay, let's see if John acknowledges him.
28:32
What? Do you think John sees him? Wait, wait.
28:37
Does John look over to his left? Okay, for our
28:39
listeners, Reyes is in Allende's villa. How did
28:46
- Just chilling out there. So they must not know
28:48
what he looks like. Because last we knew, they
28:51
were still trying to lure him out in the open.
28:53
Okay. So he's just sitting here watching this
28:56
go down. And we assume he follows John. But does
28:59
no one else realize there's a whole human standing
29:03
right there? Okay. So John doesn't even acknowledge
29:06
him. I think it's just because it's at the top
29:11
of a village. So maybe people just can walk into
29:14
that section. I don't know. But either way, that's
29:17
totally Reyes. Yeah. Totally Reyes. Yeah. Good
29:21
catch. And so now we know. Why he was there.
29:23
Yeah, I saw that, I think, editing. And I was
29:26
like, wait, hold on. There's no way he's just
29:29
standing right there. How good of a detail is
29:32
that to add into this game? Because I was asking,
29:37
how did he know how to be here? And how is he
29:39
here just in time? They gave us that answer.
29:42
That's just such a great detail. And they didn't
29:45
have to add that in. But I love it. I like it
29:49
too. Can we talk about Jon? Well, first of all,
29:53
we've been laughing at Jon running throughout
29:55
this playthrough. But it just gets so much better
29:58
when his hands are tied behind his back. Gonna
30:01
add in every clip of that. A compilation of him.
30:04
He is cut free by Abraham. Jon and the Rebels
30:08
defeat the army, and then they have their hype
30:11
-up moment. Jon walks off, and that's the end
30:13
of the gameplay. Any more notes from you? Nope.
30:19
Wait, I do have a question. So I feel like in
30:23
this game, he's always constantly traveling from,
30:26
I can't remember what city the villa is in. Chuparosa
30:30
to Escalera. Yeah, and back and forth and back
30:33
and forth. He's been to Chuparosa like eight
30:35
times. Probably not eight, but it feels like
30:38
he's been there a lot. He's got some miles on
30:42
that horse. The horse must be pissed at him for
30:44
going back and forth. I'm pissed about having
30:47
to go back and forth. No, it's fun. It's just
30:52
different when I'm playing it to record because
30:54
obviously I don't do any of the side content
30:56
and just focus on the mission. So it's more fun
31:00
when you're playing it just to play it. I will
31:02
say that. It's a great game. But yeah, there
31:05
are reasons people don't like the Mexico section
31:08
of this game because it is a lot of back and
31:10
forth and it is a lot of John seemingly being...
31:14
Just allowing himself to be used. Well, that
31:19
was part three. Two more parts of gameplay, and
31:22
then we'll have the summary episode. Part four
31:25
gameplay will be released tomorrow, and we'll
31:28
discuss it next week. And we'll finally get out
31:31
of Mexico. Thank goodness. With that, audacity
