Riders Republic or Descenders? Which is the better MTB game? | The DemonHamster

Hello! Today I wanted to compare Riders Republic to Descenders. Personally I think these are both super fun games, but I wanted to compare which is a better MTB game. Enjoy!☺

That ski boot bit was spot on. You've clearly been there before

[@ConnyWeirdWorld]

Thanks for the comparison. Could you next time please decrease the volume of the game oder increase the volume of your speech? I don't know if it's just me but it was really hard for me to follow what you were saying because the background noises were too loud. Just a suggestion :)

[@thedemonhamster]

Yeah I tried to do that, I will try again to improve it next time!

[@ConnyWeirdWorld]

@@thedemonhamster Thanks :)

I ride MTB and I prefer descenders all day. It's more realistic imo. In descenders you need to catch the down slopes of landings, in RR you never fall off even when jumping 100ft to flat. RR is just too fake for me I guess.

[@pickelbyte]

agreed i recently got into irl mtb and like descenders more aswell

[@dr.julianbashir9193]

​@@pickelbyteThe wheelie in descenders is probably the greatest thing ever, it translates so well from IRL to game.

[@Jima123]

Just turn off manual landings, that simple 😂

[@dallasrochon9164]

​@@Jima123 descenders is way more realistic in regards to what you can realistically land at what angle, speed, and height just watching riders Republic I can tell its unrealistically forgiving when it comes to how you can land a jump when you land going backwards and aren't straight you will lose balance in a split second descenders could be even better if they could add more content but it's a 5 year old game I don't expect more content at this point

Decenders

Descenders is best

Price

[@thedemonhamster]

I did forget to mention that in the video that Rider's Republic is $60 while Descenders is $25. For some people who just want mountain biking then I can see why the extra money might not be worth it.

[@dallasrochon9164]

​@@thedemonhamster you should've stated how landing is much more forgiving in riders so for a much more realistic downhill mtb experience descenders is the way to go if you want more overall content and replayability with the extra sports then riders is your best bet

[@custer4211]

When it comes to MTB, Descenders all the way. The satisfying feeling you get in descenders can never be replicated in RR. RR has variety so if you want more then just mountain bike, then RR it is. Graphics are better in RR, but the gameplay goes to Descenders imo

[@thedemonhamster]

I agree that Descender can be more satisfying, but on Xbox there's no mods in Descenders. I feel like both games are good and can be really fun though.

[@thedemonhamster]

@@denis_913 As far as I know you can only get mods on PC

Riders republic feels generic at best. Descenders gameplay wins everyday.
