45 Years Old, No Games for 30 Years: My First Time Playing PS5 & RDR2

The last time I held a controller, it had two buttons and a D-pad. Today, at 45 years old, I am jumping into Red Dead Redemption 2—my first time playing a video game in over 30 years. After unboxing my Japanese PS5 and setting up my 8K TV here in China, it's time to actually play. I chose RDR2 as my gateway back into gaming because of its reputation for storytelling and detail. In this video, I’m sharing my raw, first-time reactions to the graphics, the controls (which are a lot more complicated than the Sega Genesis!), and the sheer scale of modern gaming. If you’re a beginner, a fellow "mid-lifer," or just someone who loves the world of Arthur Morgan, welcome to the ride.
