Better than RDR 2 in terms of gameplay.

[ChubbiChibbai]

That game was stunning and immersive but oh so slow.

I loved every minute of it but i forgot how much of a classic this one was and how much better the overall gameplay, pacing and story is.

I was blown away by RDR2 when it came out - I've always been a PC gamer so I missed RDR1. Now I'm having fun with RDR1 and even for a guy who doesn't have the nostalgia fog, this game is amazing.

Now I will always love RDR2 more for the overall story, characters, nature and its expansive world. But RDR1 story feels way more 'snappier'. Most missions John does is to further the main story, the strangers are the one-off's you'd expect. Story-wise RDR1 just feels way tighter, to the point, whereas RDR2 can sometimes meander on.

Gameplay in RDR1 is quicker, but kinda devolves into a cover-shooter we had millions of during the era the game came out. The guns feel more like prop shooters but all guns sounded like that in those games back in the day. I'm not going to fault the game for having 14 year old graphics either - but sometimes running around in the wilderness in RDR1, I wish they had made a remaster out of this to get the fidelity we had during RDR2.

I could 'get lost' in RDR2. As in leave the camp and live out in the wilderness for weeks on end while I hunted all the animals for my satchels. I miss that experience in RDR1.

All-in-all it feels like an upgraded GTA San Andreas for me, another game I absolutely loved. Sometimes its hard to believe this game came out 14 years ago.

Doesn't even explain how the gameplay is better, so basically you just mean you like it better on a personal level than RDR2...

There is actual gameplay and freedom in the gameplay. RDR2 is 90% waiting and then 10% gameplay on rails

Again you and the op say there is gameplay but what is this amazing gameplay you talk about? If you can't even explain the gameplay you love so much why even make a comment to other to compare?

Part 1 is for simple minds who would otherwise be overwhelmed.
Stupid, repetitive processes without end. Nice but nothing more.
Part 2 offers much more freedom and tasks!

Yeah, no. You are just completely wrong - objectively and realistically.

Na you’re wrong. Rdr2 is loot simulator, slow movement/gunplay. Boring game will take rdr1 all day over 2

OOOOF. You are in for a rude awakening thinking a 14 year old arcade shooter has better movement than current games lmao

The physics imo are better too.

You should play this game. Why do you focus on 14 years? I don't think bioware is better than they were 14 years ago. I don't think rocksteady is. I don't think Gotham knights is better than the old Arkham Assylum.

A fresh coat of paint of engines that have been dumbed down isn't a good thing.

Some of the best games came out in gen 7, that remakes and sequels from that era never ends.

To think things are just magically better because time went by, what a naive view. Physics from this game as far as combat didn't become the norm. Games with canned death animations and games with ragdoll physics applying on the m last bullet which kills all motor functions of enemies, like gears, isn't more advanced then this game.

Gaming has been taking it safe for so long because people who just think what year a game came out trumps quality.

Do you think rdr stands with its fellow 2010 games or was it much further ahead for it's time?

modern games have absolute trash movement

even worse camera angles, everything is zoomed in + the FoV is super low


its a skill-less snoozefest

if you're really looking to put your skills to the test, then play ninja gaiden black on master ninja difficulty, no OG xbox? no problem, it runs great on an emulator

Oh I agree, I never played RDR1 before and I was pleasantly surprised how easy and quick combat and moving is in RDR1. The Movement in RDR2 was really messed up and on purpose made way too sluggish, for whatever reason. But you got used to it and adapted after a while.

Yeah.... its called.... realism... lol. They weren't going for an arcade shooter like rd1.

Why would you want unnecessary realism in a videogame when it worked perfectly fine in the first game?
Nobody considers sluggish movement fun.

yeah, in rdr2 most of the missions follow the same structure where dutch has a plan, something goes wrong, and you shoot a bunch of people in different parts of the game world

i find it nice that rdr1 doesn't really lose the plot like rdr2 did with guarma, and it offers a lot more interesting gameplay within the missions, like the riverboat mission, or the assault on fort mercer, and even most of what goes on during an appointed time

on top of that the sharper movement and faster-paced gunplay really helps me enjoy how good the music is too, in rdr2 i'm too busy screaming "♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ARTHUR GET TO COVER" to really hear the great soundtrack

Same here. I hate the "realistic" movement in RDR2. It feels like Arthur is always slightly drunk.

those quotes are well earned, if the movement is realistic then arthur should've worried about seeing a neurologist instead
