6 years before the award winning 'Red Dead Redemption' showed the world what cowboy games could be, Rockstar took the first foray into a cinematic cowboy game with Red Dead Revolver.
A linear, cliché filled cowboy adventure with too many situational mechanics, a thin plot which finishes about 2 hours before the game actually ends and a protagonist more wooden than the fence posts.
So let's replay the journey of Red Harlow and ask, Red Dead Revolver, was it actually any good?
As usual thank you to the supporters on Patreon and Twitch who keep the channel alive.

The reason as to why the tone is so inconsistent may be because the game was originally developed by Capcom, before Rockstar took over the project. It was originally meant to be a much sillier arcadey game.

I actually think the "Good luck -Sam" sounds exactly like it should. She is clearly in a hurry and desperate, but she does make a pause to before saying "Sam". Enough of a pause that I think she absolutely nailed the delivery and I didn't for a moment think she sounded like she was not reading a sign off.

I always loved how each character had different loading screens of them playing around with their weapon

I played this game with my dad as a kid. It's the reason I love westerns so much. I thought Red was the coolest

This game actually has a pretty WILD development history, the arcade-y style shooting is a remnant of when it was being developed for Capcom by a different studio. At some point Rockstar got the rights and more or less "finished" it up and released it. That's why the game feels disjointed and unfinished at times.

I think the voice acting from Annie was fine. She was reading the letter quickly and with a hint of annoyance. Reading it out loud to herself. She wanted to just get done reading it and from now on she's probably gonna say Sam with a bit of venom.

I played this game til the disk didn't work anymore and then I had the RDR theme as my phone's ringtone for like a year. Needless to say I loved this game.

It was never about the money. When he held up the bank manager by his coat, it was about the gold mine. The caravan was coming from said gold mine. It was about who controlled that gold mine, because those were the ones who were responsible for his parent's death.

Correction, Red didn't sign up for the quick draw competition for money, he signed up because the guy who apprehended the buffalo soldier clued Red in on the governor being corrupt and considering the reason for buffalo soldier was apprehended, it must have had something to do with the people who killed his family.

The “Good Luck -Sam” scene was leaning more towards menial nitpicking imo. I think the way she said it works better if you put yourself in her shoes. She’s about to save her farm from thugs she can see actively burning down her barn. Her adrenaline is pumping and she’s in a hurry to stop the thugs so she is going to read at a quicker pace, you know?

the "good luck, sam" line sounds good to me, like she's exasperated and defeated by the message

Fun fact, the song that plays in the intro was composed by Luis Bacalov for the 1966 western Django. And that song was later used in the 2012 movie Django Unchained.
Growing up I remember this song very very well from playing Red Dead Revolver and imagine my surprise when I heard it in Django Unchained.

I remember loving the hell out of this game as a kid, to the point where I was unreasonably excited when Red Dead Redemption was announced. Hours and hours into the multiplayer thing

12:24 This wasn't for character motivation; its reference to a near ubiquitous trope used in 50s Westerns - the bad guy is shown mistreating a dog (in order to tell the audience he's "the bad guy")

"It's not about the money." The reason he hounded the bank manager was because if he didn't, the bank manager would think, "oh, I can just mess with this guy's money all I want. I never have to pay him." When you run a business, always collect your due, or people will not respect you.

Honestly, that "Good luck, Sam" delivery, the whole line read really, sounded about right to me.
It sounded like a woman at the end of her rope, reading a note where the last people she had left to rely on were leaving her and it sounded like the result of "how could this day get any worse?"
You can hear the frustration in her voice and almost like an unspoken "fuck you sam!" Or "God dammit, this isn't what I need!"
Considering she's in debt, running out of time, her people are leaving and her last hope was just dashed, right before her farm goes up in flames.

Despite its inconsistancies, flaws, and inevitable aging, the footage that you used still portrays that the developers still put considerable effort into its design and development, and that the game has a certain charm and enjoyment within it - especially to a slightly younger audience, perhaps.

While they don't directly make it a character trait they did work the burn into his outfit at least, wearing a red almost bandage-like piece over his right hand. Nice touch I always thought.

It was incredible and one of the best reasons to keep my PS2. Once all the characters are unlocked, the split screen multi-player is a A LOT of fun. I still replay the main story all the time.

I don't understand the focus on saying the story was concluded when Red killed the one-armed man who killed his parents and it should've ended there. He got revenge on the person who committed the act, then on the person who GAVE the order, aka the Governor. It also wraps up the literal Chekhov's Twin Gun and explains why there was a "raid" on your family in the first place.
