Anyone else prefer RDR 1 than 2?
>>746054797Story, music, atmosphere - RDR1Open world - RDR2I like combat in both
>>746054797Everyone with a brain does.
>>746054797The story and pacing were much better, quests were still railroaded but not as pure movie game tier as 2That said 2 is one of the best looking games ever made and it's better for exploring and fucking around than 1If I put nostalgia aside I can say 2 is probably better overall but I do personally prefer 1
>>746054797It's cool because you can go to Mexico and buy property. Other than that, it's not as good.
>>746054797Dumb ESL.
>>746054797I started playing RDR2 before RDR1 and now I find RDR1 bad. It does look better than I expected, but after RDR2 I just feel like the attention to detail is lacking in the first one.
RDR1 had more bounties than RDR2 (which has only 14)Only 14 bounties. Like 3 bounties per town. Across the whole fuck huge map. Let that sink in.
It's an actual VIDEO GAME compared to RDR2.People who worship RDR2 on here don't understand that, sadly. They're retarded. They'll look at RDR2's five-minute-long animations and fishing and hunting mechanics, because you know, they're retarded, they need the bare minimum to be satisfied. Almost none of them have actually completed the singleplayer for the game, and when you bring it up on here, they'll just double down and go >hyuck hyuck so wat if i dont play the storyAll in all, RDR2 is for the subhumans, RDR1 is for the white man.
1 is if you love old movies, 2 is if you love more "modern" movies. I like both but they are all very different in style.I still seethe at rockstar for removing the online of 1 on the recent port though.

>>746057490>Almost none of them have actually completed the singleplayer for the game, and when you bring it up on here, they'll just double down and goi also feel like this. i wrote this post: >>746057460basically, i had the map mostly cleared of activities by the HALFWAY point of the game that is by the time i got to St Denis. not enough is said about just how EMPTY rdr2 is. the game is only fun for half a playthrough because you can semi-roleplay and pretend-sandbox your way thru half of it and after that it's just a boring movie game going thru main quests when the plot points progress too fast to be immersive because you can no longer intersperse them with side activities
>>746057564>retarded brownoidsI see you have never played RDR1 and gotten to the epic portion where you run for Mexico. What a newfag.
first one was shiti assume 2 is shit because a sequel to a shit game is shit
>>746057784Mexico in RDR1 is still better than anything in RDR2
Damn how down bad was he at this point?
>>746057937>go from pretty cool dude to depraved pretending revolutionary in only a few yearsBill I could understand since he already had issues, but him? how?
by far.RDR2 is a walking simulator, RDR treads the line but thankfully never fully crosses it
Two gay cowboys eating pudding
>>746057931You can thank grand theft auto online for never getting mexico in RDR2
>>746054797yeah been thinking about this earlier actually. it just plays better
>>746054797i never liked how the last part of RD1 ended, after killing dutch i expected a far better progression the ending, but no they decided to build rapport between john and his shitty familly with boring repetitive missions. Kino ending + i got to enter mexico with a perfect sundown with "far away" playing in the backround.
>>746057490you sound adhd
>>746054797NO. I actually didnt think so highly of RDR1. Its an OK game but its pretty much a western version of the SD trilogy GTA format. DO random mission, free roam a bit, rinse repeat.It is a good game and has a more cohesive story than SD GTA games but compared to RDR2 its basic.RDR2 of course goes deep into systems and simulating the west. Where RDR is too gamey, go collect flowers, skin animals all for checklist tier incremental upgrades.RDR2 lets you live in the wild west frontier fantasy. RDr1 is just a action game set in the wild west.Doesnt help that new austin is a barren and drab desert too.
>>746054797The ambient music is great and riding the horse while the whistle theme and the sunset skybox is on is awesome but the rest of the game kind of sucks one-note story full of non-characters, guns feel like paper, side quests are all terrible and they all end up with the NPCs dying or getting killed for some reason? there's nothing to do in the empty open world either
>>746061560>there's nothing to do in the empty open world eitherback in my day we made our own fun. what do you want, dumb little minigames?
>>746061978There's literally nothing of note to do except killing NPCs, I'm pretty sure it's why the bandana doesn't affect neither bounties nor your honor when worngay challenges and hunting do not count for they are boring
I remember playing RDR2 for the first time and thinking "This is just the same story as 1 but with a worse protagonist"
>>746062197>>746057564Don't forget the DEI force fed to players in RDR2. It's amazing how many retarded niggers will cuck hard for Sadie Adler.https://steamcommunity.com/app/1174180/discussions/0/583929583674450662/
>>746062197>This is just the same storyin what way?
>>746057490What this cool dude said.
It's been a while since I've played either. RDR was a great game. When I played RDR2 I loved it, and I can say my experience was better with it, but that was partly because of the time I played it. I think the first game is probably better at being a game, and i say that as someone who thinks RDR2 is overhated. It's a great and ambitious project, and I think it's got a lot of commendable elements.Better than either of them at being a game, however, is Red Dead 1, aka Red Dead Revolver. I've grown to appreciate brevity.
All modern open world games have maps that are too large. This makes it difficult to place interesting things inside the entire map. Most of the areas are boring and not worth exploring. It isnt a fun cowboy simulator.
>>746063472Must disagree, being as it's one of the most beautiful, atmospheric, and well crafted maps. It's not everyone's taste, though. Open worlds are not bad as a rule.
>>746063295Anyone but the most insufferable contrarians pretend that Red Dead Revolver was anything but a lackluster prototype.
>>7460547972 was boring as fuck especially post-game
>>746057660It took me less than 18 hours to complete RDR1 with every single stranger encounter and most challenges done. Admit it, the reason why /v/ hates RDR2 so much has much more to with it being “le popular Reddit game” than with the actual quality of the game.Had the game featured more content, you’d call it bloated.
>>746054797I did not care for Red Dead Redemption.
>>746063761I pretended nothing and merely appreciate, and find a game particularly charming, partly in it's simplicity, but enjoy being a condiut for the devils spite.
>>746063761Is it really so hard to believe that some people's preferences align more with the cartoony arcade style game than the gritty realistic open world story driven game?
>>7460547972 graphically hasn't aged well and has that kinda ugly grimy GTA4 look
Mexico goes on way too long and is outright plagarism at times but RDR1 >>> RDR2. RDR2 could've been Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid or it could've been a Jeremiah Johnson type game focusing on hunting and relationships but instead it's this overstuffed prequel that provides little new characterization. Too ambitious, jack of all trades master of none.
>>746064247>2I meant one, shoot
>>746057490This. With GTAV and RDR2 Cückstar went full retard with the simulation aspect and forgot the game aspect. Its why I have zero interest in GTA6.
>>746064253What did they plagiarize? I'm not familiar with westerns.
>>746054797In terms of replayability and multiplayer yeah
>>746058114He's Mexican.Not a single Mexican in existence ever had any conviction in his/her life.Which is why that shithole went through numerous revolutions and violent uprisings, only for corrupt opportunists to seize power and begin the whole cycle anew.
>>746064237When the game in question is Red Dead Revolver, yeah. I know that tastes can vary, but these types of posts reek of "I'll pretend to like the more obscure and less popular thing so people think I have sophisticated tastes"
>>746064452The entire game but especially the Mexico bit borrows very heavily from The Wild Bunch by Sam Peckinpah
>>746064731This movie is incredible. Go watch this NOW if you haven't
>>746064421>GTAV>simulation>has les RPG aspects than San Andreas>no interiors>they even removed the fast food mechanic that was present in SA and IV>trash arcadey driving and snappy movements>simulation
>>746054797Only people who prefer actual gameplay to a movie
>>746064928The gameplay in question: rudimentary 3rd person shooting and awkward horse riding.
The ambience/atmosphere in 1 is so far beyond 2’s that it’s ridiculous. When I’m riding around and I hear any one of those iconic guitar riffs, a bead of sweat forms on my forehead and rolls down my face. The cutscenes and dialogues are miles better, the game actually feels like a western. Whereas in 2 it’s all just lush and green and there is literally a point in the game when Dutch says “We can’t go east anymore because then we’ll be in the ocean.” What kind of fucking western is that? Plus the ending was far better. Killing Micah was just so unsatisfying. Now killing Edgar Ross and having the game freeze frame with that killer guitar noise thing as you’re hit with the somber realisation that everything John did to try give his kid a better life instead led him down the path of an outlaw? Absolute Cinema. And then Dead Man’s Gun starts playing? Forget about it. Incredible.
RDR1 is better at pretty much EVERYTHING except stuff to do
>>746054797RDR1, along with music, story, atmosphere etc, just has way better pacing. Riding into Mexico for the first time is one of the most kino gaming experiences. RDR2 is visually and environmentally way more impressive, but the story is boring as fuck in comparison.
>>746054797RDR1 and GTA4 was peak R*Games that didn't hold hands and let you do whatever. That said RDR2 looks amazing and theres loads to do, it just was very turtle paced.
For me it's the elegant suit
>>746057937He wasn’t really doing anything particularly bad at that point in the game. He died because the Feds sent John after him for his past, and Bill brought John right to him.
Alright /v/, which character did you play in the multiplayer?
>>746054797not reallyplaying rdr1 after just felt like i was running around plinking at peoples heads for a couple of hoursrdr2 was this whole experience
>>746066715RDR2 was more of an experience that RDR1 but still lacks the depth. Robberies are severely limited. Train robberies are a buggy mess. Most robberies in general don't yield much. There is nothing to really sink your money into at the end. The story kinda peters off after chapter 3 or 4. Guama is half asses. Epilogue is half assed. No mexico. RDR2 was great but knowing how much better it could have been it still leaves me wanting more.
just got the expert hunter outfit
i played rdr1 at release and there's literally nothing in rdr1 that's better than rdr2. the game was lost to console exclusivity for so long that contrarians managed to convince themselves it was the best game in the world
>>746071378That's not true, I still have my copy on PS3. I play it back to back to RDR2. Both games are good, but RDR1 is limited by things that were not even introduced to the series yet.
>>746071646>I still have my copy on PS3.i seem to remember that version running at like 20 fps
RDR2 is so fucking TEDIOUS. Rockstar already have the most mind numbing "gameplay" with the horseback/car rides where most of the exposition and dialog happen, but in RDR2 they added a ton of tedious interactions for the sake of realism that just gets in the way of actually doing anything fun. It's BORING.
>>746064619>Which is why that shithole went through numerous revolutions and violent uprisingsTechnically they had less revolutions and uprisings than the US
>>746063761>contrarianI've quickly found this to be the indian Rockstar defense force's word of choiceNothing bad at having different acceptable standards and pick an arcade game that knows when to last than open-world games that aren't open until 3/4rds of the game
>>746071824Works fine for me, I don't care about low FPS
>>746063295I tried Revolver but couldn't get into it. Missions felt too samey after a while
>>746071854The fact you’re stupid and have the attention span of a chihuahua doesn’t make it a bad game, it just makes you ADHD as fuck and kind of a drag.
1 has massively better story because it's tight and focused. 2 is meandering and just the gang suffering setback after setback with no real climax.
They're both terrible movie games with walky talky sections, terrible minigames, boring empty worlds and anemic shooting mechanics. 1 is at least better paced and not slow as molasses, it's also much better written.
>>746054797I do
>>746057306First one was the better game, though. By a wide margin. The entire game just felt more engrossing somehow, it felt like a real western game. The second one is a fantastic stereotypical modern movie game, but it is terrible western game.
>>746072341>Favorite games are walking sims like STALKER and MorrowindRed Dead 2 has no depth, it has no gear snowballing, it's just slight meaningless upgrades.That's why it's slow gameplay is boring as fuck.
>>7460727131 also doesn't shove left leaning politics down my throat and is pretty centrist.
>>746054797I like both but prefer the gameplay in 2 and the story in 1
>>746061423RDR1 is shit because it IS literally just GTA with horses. It also is up its own ass, given it takes fucking 2 hours to get to the free-roam part. "Here, ride for 5 fucking minutes on horseback to your destination while I speak at you." Absolute fucking horseshit, I had patience for this when I was stupid and young enough to generous give some level of respect to Rockstar's dogshit games. And I did beat it back then, when it came out.But then RDR2 takes like 5 fucking hours to get started, and you're right! It's such an "immersive" "sim"! I love taking 5 seconds to loot a fucking drawer! I love the "weight" of my character's delayed input! God, this story is just SO IMPORTANT and so DEEP.>>746061317You have no respect for your own time probably because you're 16 years old.
>>746072840That, as well. Rockstar knew what they were doing, when they allowed the gamers to murder the feminists, only to patch that out years later, when rockstar had fooled the chuds into giving them their money..
>>746065467As in every game Rockstar has ever fucking made and yet all of you human cattle think inflated self-importance changes this fact in regards to RDR2, or that GTA6 has the possibility of being any good whatsoever.ROCKSTAR IS A FUCKING TERRIBLE FACILE SHALLOW DOGSHIT DEV COMPANY.
>>746054797I played 1 and 2 back to back earlier this year. I liked 1 and it was very good for the time but 2 is a much better game.
>>746073182There's nothing good about 2 I'd rather watch the Fists Trilogy, better written and I don't have to pretend like I'm playing a videogame.
>>746073071Yeah you have to be in to a vibe where you actually want to playa slow burn game with RDR2. The realism is its strong point. It allows the player to play it in a non gamified way. Though i agree with the gripe it takes too long to get into.You aren't really free until you have all the tools too so you need to do a lot of chapter 2 before you can just fuck off and have your own fun in the world.
>>746054797I much prefer the story and "vibe" of 1 over 2, but 2's world over 1's.
>>746054797I dunno why they thought adding a bunch of cumbersome bullshit to 2 would make it more enjoyable.
>>746064854You're a low IQ retard.>Cash and banking>Stocks that don't even work anymore>Absolute fucking slog setting up heists>The fucking AI gets a cut for no fucking reason except to be realistic>Have to pay the fucking insurance company>Absolute fucking slog driving up north JUST LIKE REAL CALIFORNIAabsolutely shit fucking game.
Free State of Lemoyne
Replaying RDR1 as an adult made me realize how much of an ungrateful cunt Bonnie is. She's initially made out to be some kind of tomboy cowgirl yet when John saves her from getting gigaraped by a band of criminals she can't even muster up a simple "thanks".
>>746075606I think Bonnie is actually lady like unlike Sadie Adler
>>746075647Bonnie is a realistic character. Sadie is a girlboss fantasy.
>>746075770>revenge is a fools game>except when it's a girlboss's revenge It makes me sense for Arthur to not want to help Sadie finish of the O'driscols, but the game clearly wants you to
>>746054797there are tons of stunted uncs on this board buddy
The online is what I miss the most.
I dropped RDR2 because of the camp segments where you are forced to walk around at a snails pace. It's a pet peeve of mine, I hate it so much.I wasn't gripped by the story, people insisted to me that it's worth it by the end but I just didn't care to find out. From memory I made it up to a big city area around the time I dropped it
RDR2 looks and feels less like a western for some reason.
>>746062669Not him but all Rockstar games have the exact same story.>I was betrayed by someone I trusted>Now I trust you>Now you've betrayed me too! How could this have happened!? I am sad and/or angry!!!San Andreas was that. Bully was that. GTA IV was that. RDR was that. GTA V was that. RDR2 was that. GTA VI is that. That last one isn't a leak, just a safe bet.Rockstar cannot even fathom writing a story that isn't just betrayal-trust-betrayal. They've had literal decades to prove they can do it, and it's clear they are simply incapable.
RDR on hard mode where a couple shots kill you is a lot of fun
>>746056873>Open world - RDR2In RDR1 I could run into cougars in several places. In RDR2 I had to keep going to the same spot on the map if I wanted a cougar pelt or else I would just never get the pelts. Towards the end of the game I kept getting routes that took me through the same annoying area where that indian lost his chanupa. I could probably think of more examples of what I'm saying, which is that the open world felt very cramped somehow.
After playing both of them I feel more attached to John than Arthur.
RDR 1 was one of my favorite games of all time until RDR 2 came out and raped it (by having a shit story and basically mutilating Johns character for that absolute faggot Arthur Morgan). That said, yeah it's a much better game when distilled down to its essence as a story about the decline of the wild west and how its no longer a world for old school outlaws.
>>746054797Are there any mods to make the audio less shit for the PC port? I don't remember the game's audio mixing being this mediocre on xbox 360.
>>746054797RDR1 multiplayer was really fun back in the day. It was also the first game I played with HDMI. Looked out from on top of a mesa and thought games could not look as good again. It's major downside is that it's not only GTA with horses but GTA IV with horses which is notorious for most the missions being drive, shoot a group of guys behind cover, and drive back.RDR2 was basically unplayable for me. The input delay, painfully slow animations, forced walk around the camp, survival mechanics, endless walking talking sections, and highly restrictive missions killed it. It's everything I hate in modern games.
>>746077365>I was betrayed by someone I trusted>Now you've betrayed me too, how could this have happenedThis didn't happen in GTA4, RDR2 the only real betrayal is Micah, Dutch is more of a gradual downfall you get to witness.
RevolverRedemption 1 and 2 are just on rails walk and talçk simulators.
>>746054797Yeah. However the mexico missions fucking suck. by that point in the game I'm falling asleep riding my horse mission to mission, I couldn't possibly care at all for any of these characters besides Landon Ricketts
>>746054797I like 2 better because the hunting and atmosphere was comfy as fuck.
>>746072517>The south in 1911... Was a bunch of empty deserts?... No... Fucking retard
