It's a beautiful and flat environment that feels far away from home where you have even less friends than before. You and John are out there alone. The music and wildlife and scenery perfectly capture this feeling and it's just awesome feeling to ride around Mexico. Most of my playtime is there, riding around and playing cards.
It’s ironic that RDR2’s world being far more detailed actually gets in the way, I much prefer the simple desert of the first one. California sucks for this kind if game, you constantly have to be skewering around mountains.
Does RDR2 get any better? I'm at the start-mid point of act 2 and haven't touched it in a month. On that mission where you get introduced to poker I left that building faster than a fat b***h who sat down too fast simply 'cause I couldn't stand any more time wasting.
I actually quit before you did, it was that aggravating. For me it was completing a side quest up in the snowy regions and then having to slog my way to a town,
it kinda seems weird to me that rdr come out in 2010, not because, "oh i can't believe it's been so long already!" but more so in the sense that i thought it has been longer since then
It was weird. On one hand, since you couldn’t easily get away with genociding entire towns, it felt a little bit too restrained as compared to other Rockstar games up until then. On the other hand though, it felt really fresh and unique, like a great game that was sorely needed in the 7th gen wasteland. It’s cool it’s being remastered, but I also don’t really feel a whole lot like revisiting either, and Red Dead 2 was such as a slog that I don’t really have much interest in the aeries moving forward.

still have visceral mermories of just walking around the swamp town and playing poker there. honestly a lot of the story is still memorable and I doubt I say that about II in 8 years when it's 13 too
I had played enough GTA and Oblivion to find it boring. The story didn't grab me, and the world is pretty pointless to wander in. The controls/animations feel sluggish and unpleasant.
I remember walking back home from the centre of town on a the pitch black evening during the Christmas holidays in 2010 (or maybe it was 2011). After about an hour of walking I saw a blockbuster that was still open, so I went in and to my surprise they had a used copy of RDR1 for PS3 at a bizarrely cheap price. So I took it home with me and put it into my console, only for it to take around an hour to "install" the game. Then I was able to play the game for the rest of the night and it was 5 hours of mashing X to sprint, holding X to ride at the same pace as NPCs while glorified interactive cutscenes barraged me with exposition blitzkriegs and the occasional half-assed shooting section with aggressive aim-assist. I've since played through the game and aside from the occasional interesting character RDR1 fricking sucks and I can only assume it's perpetual praise comes from nostalgiagays and normies who don't know any better. First Rockstar game I've been disappointed by, even IV for all of it's flaws had good radio stations and more things happening while you drive around with character #231 as they b***h about innane nonsense.
The hunting and occasional random event (like the robberies) were cool I guess, but seriously the game sucks and was carried hard by it's writing.
Oh shit reskinned gta but with horses instead of cars. Same shitty rockshit gameplay and story.
Perhaps one of the most boring games I've ever played. The only thing I remember is protagonist death which just reminds me of mafia ending and that's it. I don't know what the frick were protagonist doing in the entire story that's how boring it was.
pretty cool
I had a lot of hope it would kickstart a trend in more western games
Amazing. It didnt have the hype a regular GTA game had so the expectation were alot different.
A friend of mine called it the most boring piece of shit he had ever played back then.
>tfw reaching Mexico for the first time
one of the greatest moments in vidya history
Never understood this take. Its literally slightly yellower textures and thats it.
it's the song that ties it all together. A MGS3 ladder style intermission that marks the half way point as you reflect on the journey so far.
It's just the song, it turns into kino out of nowhere
no soul

my most memorable part of the game, too
was going to post but you beat me to it

It released the same day as Alan Wake did.
I got this game with Alan Wake. I haven't been blow away by such back to back kino since.

Act 3 is when it starts getting good
I mean I was 15 years old but it was pretty cool then.

it's Rockstar's best game they have ever made
it was the point you needed a hdtv. poor old crt just couldn't do the subtitles

*was doing
Very kino, I remember watching this trailer and being really excited for it.
>What was it like to play Red Dead Redemption 1 for the first time in 2010?
Felt like playing GTA with horses
First game that outright only worked in wide-screen.
