Not that I’m a huge fan of the franchise but with a Red Dead Redemption Remastered on the horizon (it’s pretty much confirmed by now), I figured what best time to ask the one and only ultimate question, which one did you have the most fun with?
Personally, I’d have to side with RDR1. RDR2, however marvelous it might’ve felt when playing for the first time, it’s a much less gamey game than RDR1 if that makes any sense. After a while, it felt like an actual chore to go through it and I think that’s what happens when the devs put more emphasis on realism than core gameplay mechanics being the main aspects of a videogame that help to give it a sense of longevity and replayability. Seriously, I can’t imagine anyone being insane enough to play RDR2 for a second time.
RDR1 is basically just more fluid and forgiving than RDR2 but generally speaking, Rockstar doesn’t give a single fuck about implementing a genuinely fun gameplay with responsive controls, they just want to give you a relatively realistic amusement park with a story to tell.
RDR1 mogged imo but of course, normies don’t care about any of this. They see RDR2 as the prettier game with more things to do in it and so naturally, they instantly perceive it as the objectively better game too.

and vile by 2023’s standards so it’s not surprising that they might shy away from satire and go full woke.
