Why is rdr1 so much better than rdr2?
>>738847930no filler or padding
It was a video game.
>>738847930it wasnt developed by rockstar india.
>>738847930I felt that RDR2's main story generally was stronger but RDR1's ending was far more powerful
>>738847930It's not. The story, atmosphere and music are better, but the actual gameplay, content and world design are worse
>>738847930I started walking like John Marston in real life for the better part of a decade after playing RDR1. Looking back on it, I must have looked like the biggest autist around to my friends and family.
>>738847930Gameplay is actually fun.Cutscenes and story are just spaghetti western which is also fun.I actually just finished this game again tonight which is weird and I fucking hate playing as jack.I wish I stopped before the final dutch mission because I didn't know you couldn't change outfits afterwards.Probably gonna start a hardcore playthrough now. Really upset because I was loving gambling and finishing up the outfits but I cannot stand Jack. His VA is insufferable. Great game overall though one of the best.
>>738848328Kek
>>738848328Based.
>>738847930Because /v/ told you
>>738848328This is bullshit but it's funny to imagine so I'll believe it.
>>738847930Why are you all obsessed with this tribalism need to put two good games against one another? How about liking both just fine, pussy?
>>738847992lol
>>738847930I love them both. I can't choose between the two
>>738848930This
>>738847930rdr1 is an actual game and rdr2 is just a performative game.
>>738848972This. Total Red Dead love
>>738847930More focused, less overwhelming.
Because RDR1 is actual cowboy GTA with no bullshit. But because Cuckstar got really faggoty later RDR2 became a cinematic third person horse riding simulator for normalfags obsessed with "muh realism" and not good gameplay, mixed with a bunch of garbage such as screaming feminists spawning all over the map, girlboss characters, preaching about racism and sexism together with a faggy plot about being BETTER MEN.
>>738847930because the writing was actually good, and most of the best plot/dialogue happens in random conversations the game was subtle
>>738847930Arthur Morgan is a better protagonist than John Marston. Other than that I agree I like RDR1 more.
>>738847930It's not, you have to be severely mentally deficient bordering on mental handicapped to believe that
>>738847930RDR2 was simply too bloated for it's own good.At least i went back and replayed RDR1 twice.I didn't bother with a second playthrough of 2.I preferred Marston over Morgan personally.
2 is real life Westworld where it's a whole universe with insane fidelity and depth1 is the fun cowboy game
>>738849427But he doesn't seem to prefer RDR2?>>738849674Yeah, RDR2 sucks almost as much as Westworld.
>>738849789>le whymsical adventures of john marstonvs>the epos of arthur morganOf course a simpleton such as yourself prefers the former
>>738847930Because your shitbox can actuallly run it.
>>738847930Because you were young and impressionable when you played it first, and old and cynical when you played RDR2. Nostalgia accounts for about 90% of all vidya-related takes, maybe more
Even i believe games like RDR1 may still be excessive in size even though it's likely not that large by todays standards. Yet it is manageable. I don't understand how people just didn't see RDR2 as overkill. What someone said about more filler and padding exists in RDR2 is absolutely right. It's to such an absurd degree that it makes a second playthrough unfeasible in my eyes. The higher Rockstar budgets have gone it hasn't always necessarily equated to more enjoyable games.
>Pour millions of hours into creating the most incredibly detailed game world ever created>Put zero effort into gunplay and gun animations>Keep the absurdly tanky terminator enemies with braindead AI from previous GTA games>The actual gameplay of your game now feels like complete shit>But at least my horse's testicles dynamically shrink and expand!Rockstar are the biggest bunch of Indian hack frauds in the entire industry
>>738849951This.
You'll realize that 1 doesn't stand a chance when you play 2 and then immediately 1
RDR2 is the definition of all style and no substance, sadly GTA:VI will probably be the same
>>738850162Yeah, the mortal mind is incapable of handling such excellence after tolerating a pseud non-game turd like RDR2.>>738849886Ok snoy.
>>738847930It was developed like more of a video gameRDR2 was developed more being a movie in mind with gameplay being secondary
The npcs cheat at poker so fucking hard it's not even funny. I figured out how to exploit liar's dice and blackjack but poker is pure fucking AIDS.
>>738850269I breathe through my mouth and have 50IQ points btw, not sure if that matters
>>738850329Yeah, I could tell that you do.
>>738850269RDR1 is available on steam
>>738850281Explain how the gameplay differs, I wanna laugh a little
>>738850329Kek
>>738848328I wish I could joke on you but after playing AC2 at the time I started walking like Ezio for a while when crowds
>>738847992That's literally what every Rockstar game I've played feels like. >Hey, I need something from you>Ha haaa, sure , in time but first I got a job for you>Hey, I still got that thing I need you to do for me>Ha haaa, sure , in time but first I got another job for youRepeat ad nauseam
>>738850393Perhaps he means that it's less cinematic.As in the animations in game literally slow you down in RDR2 which contributes to a lot of downtime between missions or simply the act of doing anything. There's a delay from input to animation. That's just one observation from myself.
>>738847930Prequels are inherently shit.
>>738850669Well not a single soul on earth wanted to play as Jack so what else could they do
>>738850715And by the time he's grown, the cowboy era has been gone for a while
>>738847930RDR1>based egend of the west RDR2>historical retcon presentism>shit systems and long, time wasting animations
>>738850821This Indian tried really hard to appear smart. It failed spectacularly.
>>738850926>he mistyped a word so his whole post is invalidated LOL! I bet you are what you say to others that they are
>>738851171>redditspacingYep, it's brown
>>738849093completely not true lmao, what game did you play?
>>738849427Notice how this faggot redditor simply cannot say "retard"
RDR1 was made by Rockstar San DiegoThe Houser brothers got jelly so they closed the studio and made RDR2 back in bongland and it turned out as GTA4 with horses, twice the budget half the fun
>>738849951Fooling nobody, kike
>>738851641>felt called out so he had to replyYou're drooling, clean yourself up
>>738848328That's ok, when I'm in the woods I walk like Legolas from LOTR, nimbly and quick with quiet speed and agility, always smooth, always travelling like a nimble Elf, fast as a shark, quiet as a mouse, as powerful as a sabre cat
>>738847930Played both games back to back and RDR2 absolutely clears the first game. Im replaying RDR1 since 2 is finally gonna get its 60fps patch for consoles, and I forgot just how fucking retarded John is. Like, 80% of the time, hes just doing random jobs for people until he gets fed up and threatens to kill them and then they help. And a lot of the side quests just end with no real payoff. It felt more like western GTA instead of a real cowboy game. 2 fixes every issue I have with the first game, but I can understand people not liking the more sluggish controls.
>>738850536That's why I don't understand why people still play GTA games. It's the same shit every time>Hey buddy, go there and shoot that>Hey buddy, take this and deliver there>Hey buddy, steal thatBetween that you watch crap cutscenes, repeat.
>>738847930>rdr2Stupid cowboys doing stupid things in stupid way.A regular western frontier slice of life shitshow
>>738847930it lets you slide back to the comfort zone of the game you played first. nothing more, nothing less. RDR2 is the exact same dish with more sauce and more servings added. if you liked RDR1, you're logically supposed to like 2, since it upgrades the same formula, rounding out the rough edges, while keeping the same badly written moviegame dogshit chassis. all the mechanical components related to the gameplay are improved tenfold in the sequel. RDR2 has the best horse riding of any game ever made and nothing even touches it in this regard 8 years later, while RDR1's horse controls feels like a battle between the player and the game. The combat is light years ahead in 2, with more gun variety, more gore, dead eye more intense, actual real melee combat with punching and blocking and using various different melee weapons like knives, axes, machetes and even a cutlass, and you can throw a lot of these melee weapons - and then actually pick them up from the world or from the enemy you dispatched them with, there's a wheel that lets you pick, use and do everything you would need on the fly without pausing the game and going through a bunch of menus and shitty UI. there's a wide variety of customizable horses to play with, along with saddles and whatnot. There's a long list of mounts other than horses you can ride, including donkeys, boats and trains. the physics engine is fucking incredible and adds a decent amount of sandbox potential to the game. the wilderness is massive and filled with hundreds of different animals and fish you can hunt, there's more herbs to find and more things to do with them, you can use a bow and arrows, the list goes on to the end of the earth. It takes some extreme contrarianism to put 1 even on par with 2, because they both have the same dogshit core, but 2 at least has a lot of bells and whistles and a better mechanical experience.
>>738851668And RDR2 proceeded to mog it. Britain wins again
>>738847930It was new and cool at the time.The into is better, and hooks you in, there's less filler and the game in general gets better with time.RDR2's intro drags way too long for its own good.The game peaks when the men of the gang go out to get John's kid back, and then just meanders around. Horrible progressive writing with caricatures of feminism and racism that midwits somehow thought was neutral. The first game had it too, but RDR 2 took it to new heights.
>>738852243I just like to dick around and fuck with the physics engine ever since I was a kid. Remember shooting at the water in halo 3 just to see the new effects, shit blew my mind.
>>738847930RDR1 is an arcadey GTA with horses kind of game. RDR2 is more of an immersive experience that feels like you're actually a real outlaw walking around in a real world. Which one is better is just a matter of taste really, if you ask me 2 fucking BTFO's the shit out of 1 but then I am a sucker for immersive games. But then if you just want a game to fuck around in, 2 still has much more to do.
>>738847930Rockstar was still trying to make games instead of 10/10 journobait tech demos.
>>738850045>>Put zero effort into gunplay and gun animationsyou lost all credibility
>>738847930Both are good in their own ways. But endless measuring is all the goycattle have left
>>738847930Made prior to the feminist movements and shit like GamerGate
>>738847930I wonder, OP. I wonder.
i love and replay both
>>738852778I love rdr2 but yeah it needed some trimming. I have this issue with almost every game with a celebrated single player story mode. Much like how an editor can completely change a film, in gaming they basically just try to cram as much shit in as possible. Because longer story = better to most gamers.
>>738848930>rdr1 is cool>rdr2 was too you know>true, they're both nice>yeah>i like the weighty physics in 2>well i liked 1's more arcadey feel but they both got something going for them>yeah>coolThere's a reason we're all fucking assholes here you nigger. If I wanted to have a "reasonable" conversation I'd go see my fucking doctor.
>>738847930>Rifle sling under hand bag sling.WTF is this ai generated? Get your shit together, rockstar!
>>738848316The gameplay is way better, it actually feels fun to play, can’t think of any aspect where RDR2 os better except maybe the graphics but even then RDR’s stylized graphics are great too
reminder: in RDR1 Marston was in a deathsquad. they literally killed all men in a village and raped their women
>>738856196If I remember correctly, it’s not a rifle sling it’s a back holster for his rifle lolWhich doesn’t really exist but alas
>>738847930wasn't proselytizing at you... okay it was, but not to the retarded degree rdr2 was.
>>738856428Yeah but Arthur collected debts you know
