Amused by the post, netizens bombarded the comment section. The image has been upvoted 96 per cent of times. One Reddit user wrote, "Red Dead Redemption 2 is such a work of art I wish a lot of people in my life could experience it or wanted to experience it. My late grandfather was a huge fan of westerns and had every John Wayne movie in existence. If a western was on, that's what we were watching. I wish he could have played Red Dead Redemption 2. His son, my dad is still with us but I have a hard time getting him to play anything other than Sid Meier's civilization. I know he would love it if he just figured out how to play it, but he's stubborn". Another person wrote, "Damn man. My grandfather died in 2005, he used to loved all the classic westerns. What an amazing experience to show him this masterpiece".
