Hmm it’s too late to order delivery, let’s see what we have in the cabinet. Some ramen, chips, oh some beans from 13 years ago.
Rockstar: that’ll be $50
If I don’t care about stories and I just want to play a game with fun gameplay, is this for me?
It’s a good game. Horseback riding. Lassoing people. Slow mo aiming power. Huge rockstar size map. Mini games.
If I haven’t played either RDR game, should I start here or play 2 first? It seems like 2 might be a better game and I don’t have to worry too much about knowing the story from the first one?
You will appreciate the story of 2 a lot more if you have played 1. They closely tie together.
Also, RDR1 is a spectacular game. 2 is better and worse in various ways. 1 is more video-gamey; 2 is more simulation.
That said, if you’re not all that interested in 1, 2 is just fine on its own!
I played the first one, but lost interest after a while. I went many years without playing much of anything, new BoTW and ToTK got me back into it. I recently was gifted RDR2, as I figured I might like it since it was more of a simulation game like the new Zelda stuff. It was gifted to me on PS4, which I have, but haven’t turned on in years. I’m wondering if I should opt for the Switch version instead… but I got the GTA release for Switch and I hate what they did with the aiming. I couldn’t figure out how to make Vice City play like the PS2 and just got upset and quit. If they did similar stuff to the Switch version of RDR2, I should probably just stick with the PS4.
This is the first Red Dead Redemption which was originally released on the PS3/360, not RDR2.
Oh, not sure how I missed that. Thanks for clarifying. That makes my choice dramatically easier.
Definitely give the first a shot as it may not be so easy to go back after playing the second. Plus UNDEAD NIGHTMARE is legit a good time. Really wish Rockstar had kept up with DLC at least so we could get a GTA Undead Nightmare.
