Ghost of Tsushima seems much more stylised in its graphics while rdr2 is extremely realistic. Either way both are beautiful games.

[@JoaoPedro-hq7bs]

That's exactly it, in my opinion Ghost of Tsushima is the most beautiful game I've ever played, it is heavily stylized and has unrealistic contrast for example, RDR2 also looks incredible and has a lot more attention to detail, but it isn't as "cool" as Ghost. The gameplay in both is also like that, Ghost is a lot more "gamey" and doesn't pay as much attention to fine details, while when playing RDR2 you have to even pay attention to every rock on the floor so that you don't fall off your horse. Both fantastic experiences, although I personally prefer Ghost of Tsushima.

This is just a side effect of their physics engine probably... They likely didnt individually code the arrows to go deeper into the trees but instead for each type of arrow to just have differing velocities.

Are you guys fuking paid by Rockstar... those kind of comments are embarassing. Other developers focus on the gameplay side, not extreme realism, it is a game afterall, you need more things besides realism

[@kingofskateop]

The details of realism in RDR2 is seriously next level, no doubt about it. But when you talk about the excitement of combat (sword fight & stealth) and levelling up character, Ghost of Tsushima is where it's at. Ghost of Tsushima also brings in that Japanese arcade vibe, kinda reminds you of Metal Gear Solid, and it's not going for that hyper-realism like RDR2.

[@TrumpIsTheRootOfAllEvil]

I pre-ordered Ghost of Tsushima and got the platinum trophy. I bought RDR2 about 2 years ago and I'm just now getting around to playing it. I tried to play RDR2 when I first got it, but I only got to the part where you first get to Valentine and put it down. It feels so slow, so clunky. It's not fun to play. GoT just felt so much more fun and was, to me, the more fun (and probably better) game. That said, RDR2 is a looker. I don't think anything matches up to it visually. The small details of literally everything. From the light, to the slow hair growth, individual blades of grass in a field, RDR2 is just amazing. To this day, I don't think anything can compare.

RDR2 (unsurprisingly) looks much more realistic, especially in the little details.

​@@kakakkakaka8814 As I said, it depends on what you are looking for. If the game is focused on delivering a realistic scenario with historical references and a lot of natural-feeling locations, then RDR2 is what you are looking for. But if you are looking for a cinematic action game that looks like it was taken straight out of some anime then GoT suits you much better. But I'm not gonna lie, overall RDR2 leads in every technical aspect. It's just that GoT deserves a lot of credit as well because it's a really unique game in terms of design.

I wouldn’t say it’s unfair, but I would say a lot of people that make red dead comparisons are RDR2 stans. In terms of detail RDR2 is superior to most every other games, but in terms of gameplay and story I think RDR2 is a little bit too overrated. Is the story in RDR2 bad? Not at all, it’s one of the best stories I’ve had the pleasure of playing through. But I wouldn’t say it’s the greatest of all time. The point I’m trying to make is that RDR2 as legendary as it is gets overpraised by its fan base in my opinion. A fair comparison between the two games is that RDR2 prioritizes immersion and realism while Ghost of Tsushima prioritizes gameplay. Story is more subjective which a lot of people sadly seem to forget. In my opinion both games have amazing stories and characters so really I think it just comes down to personal preference.

I praise Sucker Punch for two things, first for having the courage to "walk on the footsteps of giants", they new beforehand that this comparison would be made, secondly for accomplishing it. Just to be compared to the Mona Lisa of games is a success on it's own. In reality I bought a PS5 because of RDR2, and I found one in a bundle with GoT, I gave it a try, and it was good enough to make me postpone the acquisition of RDR2, that's how good it was. If only some other big AAA game developers could pull off games like GoT ... yeah Ubisoft, I'm talking to you, you just got sucker punched, didn't you?!

[@Artorias.the_abysswalker.]

AC Valhalla and GoT are actually pretty similar regarding details. Putting the lore and whatnot aside for a moment, the weather physics and animals are pretty much the same and in some areas better than GoT.

[@santhoshsridhar5887]

Why would you buy a PS5 tho for RDR2? I mean, unless you wanna play other PS exclusives, PS5 is a very average way to play the game as it runs just like it ran on the PS4 Pro, which unlike even the One X(which ran at native 4k 30fps) ran at 1440p with bad upscaling to 4k. Probably still looked great to you while playing but this game really benefits from a PC in many aspects, especially image quality. And I guess they might remaster this game in the future for the PS5 and Series consoles but R* being R* will charge money.

[@antoniomargallo5317]

​@@santhoshsridhar5887 I had a Ps2, third generation I had a friends X-Box so no PS3, I did not bought a PS4 at the time, and when I went to get a PS4 Pro the PS5 was already coming out, I had a ROG laptop so I waited ... and waited, and Covid came, and chip shortages, and then ship shortages. And now here we are today. I didn't bought a PS5 for RDR2, I just never got to play it and it was on the top of my list. They've been talking about the remaster for years now, I doubt that it will come soon, because they must be all "crunching" for GTA VI. And building a gaming PC? Ah, yes, I was young once too, but now I'm older, and wiser.

Ghost of Tsushima went for a lot more of a stylised look as they were more focused on the combat more than the world environment whereas rdr2 went for as close to realism as they could putting all their effort into the environment not just the combat creating a very realistic game. Both games are very pretty in their own sense but they were both focused on different things and a different target audience. But in my opinion red dead redemption 2 wins with a landslide. Not saying Ghost of Tsushima is a bad looking game but as I said before they weren't as focused on realism as rdr2.

[@AJ.429]

Maybe you are just thinking RDR2 is more famous so deserves more respect. Saying GOT is more stylish seems a bit of an excuse really to give the title to RDR2 knowing GOT looks better. My step brother actually works for Rockstar, he's an artist who has his name in the credits and even his opinion is RDR2 is probably as well respected as GTA because if the infamous fame. GOT is just as good in its own right. It does not need to be compared to the two top games ever as if it's super major competition. That's like comparing Tyson Fury to Triple K

I was fully expecting him too and was shocked to see a huge bear come over the hill line and immediately destroys the guy like in this video but then the bear charges at me, turns out I wasn't as hidden as I thought. It was absolutely terrifying to me in the moment. it was so unexpected, before this I had around 30 minutes of peaceful riding, interactions and just to stumble upon this...
