I really appreciate the balls for pointing out how the combat in RDR 1 is better than RDR2; even though I know gamers hate to admit that an old game does something better than new game, maybe it's a weird form of justifying their purchase or playtime. But RDR 2 aiming was absolute garbage, especially if you weren't using slow mo. If your just free aiming, it is so catered to using auto aim and had this horrible weapon swaying for the sake of realism, for a Wild West game? The weakest aspect of Rockstar's open world game has always been the shooting controls. They need to grow out of that auto aim garbage and adapt to a more "free aim" play style that's comfortable for the player, RDR 1 and Max Payne 3 are the closest to this accomplishment.

[@likeandsharedeeznutsbruh2845]

Most people who bought the second one only bought it because of gta 5 and never played the first 2 games, casuals like that will never get it

i m playing rdr now and combat feels the same. Animations are just SO good in rdr2. Using mouse and keyboard for aiming is so much better than gamepad. i wish i could use mouse and keyboard for rdr also

@@saruboss18 Yeah but making a port feel better on one system over the other is just lazy game development. There are plenty of games that have proper free aim on console and PC that feel equally as comfortable; even Fortnite, which is one of the most played games on Console and PC has very easy to use 3rd person free aim. Gears of War pretty much created the standard for proper free aim controls back then.

[@Ornoob-]

I played both but I think RDR 2 does most things better than RDR1. I totally accept your opinion but the aim in RDR2 and the gameplay is borderline better and I played RDR1 after RDR2, it just feels clunky going back to the old system. And dismissing people's opinion by calling it "justifying their purchase" is idiotic tbh. They purchased the old one too. Arthur, the gameplay, the graphics and gunplay are all really good but I do like the small scale story of 1 and the desert setting.

[@Niko6767]

I remember getting off school and just playing it all day getting lost in the Wild West

[@SelfPL]

I played the game on my old ps3 for the first time this year, and even though the graphics are obviously dated, I was amazed at how this game was ahead of it's time. Such a good game! Enjoyed it a lot!

[@starscream6629]

Played it on Xbox series x the upgrade minus still 30fps is amazing. Considering rockstar was original thinking of remastering it until the gta trilogy disaster, this is the best way to play it outside of pc emu

[@XvKJP2015]

​@starscream6629 it would be cool if it had a proper remake. Every remake should stride for Mafia 1 and Dead Space. Those are true remakes. Especially DeadSpace. It kept the story but added new features. Dialogue. Changed certain scenes for a better perspective. The new "peel" machanic Added side missions. Side characters got some more attention. It added a lot. Any REMAKE needs to put in that effort and time.

For me, it was the bugs that spawned people models for animals. You'd just be doing random missions then a bird man would be in the sky or a wild boar woman would be charging you and looking hilarious.

[@WolftenDragon]

I remember renting this game constantly from our local video store (back when they were still around) and playing it for HOURS on end. Later down the road when I got a job this was one of the first games I bought with my own money. Still have the original copy to this day. Xbox 360. When I heard of the prequel coming out, to say I was over the moon with happiness is an understatement lol I’m currently replaying it for the first time in years and the nostalgia is hitting HARD.

[@markymark6229]

I remember watching my friend playing this in 2010 and thinking to myself "there's no way this is any fun, there aren't even any machine guns". I bought it a year later and I dont ever remember a time I was more wrong about a game. suchhhh a good game

[@dararohan1209]

The gunplay was a really big deal. It was fluid and felt really natural. Also, the way AI reacted to being shot was realistic. If you shot someone in the foot, they would limp rather than just absorb the bullet and continue as normal.

[@Pedro_Le_Chef]

Yep. Rdr2 messed up with the controls, gunplay and ragdolls

[@KirbyOnCronic]

The story was immaculate. Such a far cry from the juvenile narratives of the GTA series.

[@Addrat]

RDR was my first proper outing with a Rockstar game and it has a special place in my heart as I'm sure it does for many.

[@Red_1911]

Personally, this game is far superior to RDR2 and Rockstar’s greatest game ever made.

[@ididntmeantoshootthatvietn5012]

Yes i agree, according to many opinions both game is impressive

[@soheelegb6851]

I dont think so, its probably nostalgia. And rdr2 was a bit slow because of realistic animations but in everything else it is either as good or better, and to prevent the fact that rdr2 is after rdr1 from making me give it points unfairly . Lets lesve.realism aside. In terms of combat i dont know so i will give it to rdr1, in terms of the story i think its rdr2. Rdr1 story is good but rdr2 has a vastly better one in my opinion. And in terms of the open world experience overall. Rdr2 is better but rdr1 is great for its time. And it probably has an open world experience like rdr2 for its time so its a draw. I agree this comparison is not thorough but i dont wanna delve into the very details. So after all. While rdr1 may not be inferior for its time, its definitely not superior

[@nightowl7261]

Agree. RDR 2 is good but not on the level of RDR 1. John Marston will always be the OG of the Redemption arc.

[@AustinPowerz-bn5ry]

Nah man total disagree. When finished RDR my thoughts were "hey that was pretty fun." At the end of RDR2 my thoughts were "Wow, speechless."

[@randomness5281]

Imo rdr2 is their best game

[@bloodrayne2645]

Back story of every character from rdr2 made rdr even better ❤️

[@Pedro_Le_Chef]

And some RDR2 characters would be much worse without RDR1 to back them up, like John Marston, who was massively downgraded as a character in RDR2.

I loved this game n remember going all out to do every side mission n just enjoying the atmosphere of the Wild West hell with even got me into watching old westerns 😂.

[@polipozation]

I've finished RDR like two weeks ago. Did not have a chance to do it before. At first I expected a western version GTA, but as You said, it is different enough to be a unique game. The open world here is just perfect size, not too big but big enough to spend there hours. And the voice acting is on point. For me it was more fun than GTAV and as good as Vice City.

I love how when it comes to rockstar games, people can't just say "hey i loved this game because it was (reason its good)". instead they goes "hey i liked this game, and (a newer version of this game/sequel) sucks because its not (the older version that he likes) but i need to mention it just because".

[@Pedro_Le_Chef]

@@ididntmeantoshootthatvietn5012 No, it needs to be mentioned because everyone is assuming that RDR2 improves on RDR1 in every aspect which is false. It's perfectly fine to say that things were done better in RDR1 so that people can know what RDR2 actually improved and what it made worse. Hiding from criticism is never a good idea. Insecurity isn't a good tool for feedback.

[@aname5078]

I don’t think there will ever be a video game with complex character like Dutch van Der linde.

When you think everything good there is to say about a video game has been said already... So wrong. This is by FAR one of my all time favorites (in the same level as Mario 64, Donkey Kong country, Zelda OoT, Metal Gear Solid, Goldeneye, etc). This was the one time when I thought graphics, music, story and gameplay merged so perfectly well. Ugh, I absolutely adore RDR and it's infinitely better then RD2.
