I'm not sure why it affected me so deeply, but I’ll never forget riding as John Marston across the San Luis River into Mexico for the first time in Red Dead Redemption—right when Jose González’s “Far Away” started playing. It was such a powerful, hair-raising moment, at the time the graphics seemed photo realistic and I still think about it from time to time. Rest in peace, John.

a lot of people got caught up in that moment. that was a brilliant example of the entertainment experiences video games can provide to the senses, the total effect being far more than the sum of its parts. some games by intention or accident become classic experiences, Red Dead Redemption was one such example. What a game, genuinely felt like a Sergio Leone simulator, I loved it. That whole generation was totally epic, only lasted 6-8 years but goddamn the quality that came out of it.
