When comparing Red Dead Redemption 2 (RDR2) and Red Dead Redemption 1 (RDR1), I wanted to focus on the fun factor above all else. RDR2 undeniably shines in terms of immersion and graphics, leaving players in awe of its breathtaking world and technological achievements. It's truly a living and breathing masterpiece that pushes boundaries. RDR 2 has a cool dialogue system which makes messing with NPCs unique and fun, but there's just something that RDR 1 has that keep me coming back, and i'm convinced it's not just nostalgia, there is really a gameplay aspect that is missing in RDR 2. RDR1 continues to hold a special place in my heart as the most enjoyable game, even to this day. There's an inexplicable charm to the combat, silliness, encounters, side missions, and controls in RDR1 create a sandbox-like experience that is simply entertaining. The game just feels so good and I find myself playing the game in a more GTA fashion than I do in RDR 2. RDR2 clearly boasts remarkable immersion and technical prowess, but RDR1's sandboxy and entertaining nature taps into a different kind of enjoyment that resonates with me. Both games are fun in there own unique way but I want to try and pinpoint what is it that makes each of those games worth visiting over the other? This comparison of seamless sandbox gameplay, missions, random encounters and just silly moments can help you pin point it in the comments. If you prefer RDR 1 or RDR 2, tell me why if you can. I appreciate your perspective and invite others to join the conversation. What are your thoughts on the fun factor when comparing RDR2 and RDR1?
RDR 1 is just a magical game, like you said there's something about it that's hard to pinpoint. I think its atmosphere is just unmatched. I can walk around in that game and do nothing and somehow have so much fun. The ambient music is 10x better than RDR 2's as well. The physics are better, the guns sound punchier, and it had an AMAZING online mode. I loved RDR 2, but after I got the platinum trophy for it I never went back to it. Yet I go back to RDR 1 atleast once a year.
So here are things that makes killing npcs fun in both games RDR2 1. Poison throwing knife 2. Dynamite/Fire arrows 3. Body Dismemberment 4. NPCs bleeding out 5. Kill cams RDR1 1. GTA 4 like europhia physics 2. Train stopped in the middle of a bridge over a lake 3. Hilarious screams 4. Better Ragdoll animations 5. Dynamite (Dynamite in this game feels more powerful than in the 2nd one) 6. Invincibility cheat
there's something about this era of games that were just perfect. Good enough graphics to not look way outdated, dlcs instead of battle passes, crazy no holds bar online chat, perfectly sized maps not too big where going to objectives can be tedious but not too small so you don't lose curiously. I'm from halo and red dead revolver days and i was at a working age when rdr1, skyrim and cod black ops came out so its not a nostalgic thing this era of games just had the perfect formula
Something about @5:17 and the whole Gatling gun train scene is so crisp, satisfying, and I guess “flexible”. This is a core reason in why RDR1 is so fun. Whenever you shoot someone and their horse there’s a random way they fall and flip around. RDR2 on the other hand feels pretty stiff to me, even if a way more comprehensive game.
As much as i like rdr2 the first one takes the spot to me, like you said in your comment, there's something missing in rdr2 that the first one had, that charm, and of course can't forget about the wilhelm scream effect
Omg so much nostalgia (music) 0:43 and this bird sound in the background … OOOOOHHH GOOD OLD DAYS back then I was a teenager and had no worries only school stuff.. and now iam 25 and have to pay bills I remember just spent a 3 hours hunting in the mountains killing grizzlies and selling it to butchers
As someone who played rdr1 recently and finished rdr2 three times Both are incredibly amazing rdr2 for graphics and realism and it's large world But rdr1 felt more fun for me in tearms of gameplay it feels more like western movies and marston like a hero and the undead nightmare was great addition Rdr1 more fun for me
@@darknesswithin38 Are you serious? It’s okay to not like the game, but to claim there’s nothing good about it whatsoever is objectively false and you know it.
@@chrisdelgado4621 I can comfortably say there's nothing good about RDR2. The game was so damn disappointing and I really wanted RDR2 to be good and it wasn't. I'm mad at Rockstar for making the game that way.
6:55 nostalgia to the movies Indiana Jones ,blazing saddles and Lone Ranger along with mask of zorro 😎😁👍 and to red dead revolver (video game) for old school gaming (old gen) 😁😆🔥🔥💯
I think I've said this a few times now, but as far as visuals between these games go, RDR2 boasts the crisp graphics which make everything like a painting, whereas RDR1 still captures a bit better, the near ugliness and coinciding beauty of a wild west vista!
i think it applies on every game , older games always has this ugliness , gritty graphics , while with the new technology games becoming more saturated , colorful nowadays
RDR2 is the youngest game to become so mechanically outdated so quickly even on release the input lag on consoles was about 2.5 eternities The lack of player control forcing assists on players was a braindead R* move The lack of ragdoll physics compared to RDR1 which has the best ragdoll physics of any game to this day says a lot Honestly the best 'gameplay' experience you can have that feels contemporary with RDR 2 is on PC. Which is objectively a massive flaw, since everyone should get to enjoy the base game equally. Every video depicting fast and hardcore aiming gunplay for rdr2 use mods to make it happen since it's the only way to get responsive, player finesse aiming without rng bloom (and needing lock on aim). The only thing RDR2 has over RDR1 is hipfire. And a subjective preference for the story (personally I still prefer RDR1). But if you really think RDR2 delivers "genuine gameplay" instead of hand holding, then you dont demand high enough standards from your games or haven't played anything better. And before anyone says 'nostalgia goggles' I experienced RDR1 long after I played RDR2 for hundreds of hours. As someone that likes to control where I shoot, RDR1 excels way beyond RDR2 it's not a contest. But hey, at least RDR2 has fishing... and 'my orthur!' They even metamorphosed Epilogue John into Arthur because we all love him so much :D jokes aside, they did RDR2 pretty dirty. Story holds up well, it's an amazing experience the first 2-3 playthroughs. The world is amazing and beautiful, the wildlife is revolutionary as well the the horse riding. But gameplay wise, it was stuck in the PS3 generation. Whilst RDR1 was generationally ahead of its time. RDR1 is a game to be played, RDR2 is a game that demands to be played on its terms. RDR2 is old gaming with shiny new graphics and very modern and advanced animations (not physics).
RDR2 is nothing like old gaming. It's the exact definition of garbage modern gaming. That's why it's terrible. You can actually see that RDR1 is way superior. RDR2 is nothing like RDR1. I can't even say the story was terrible in RDR2 because the game doesn't even have a meaningful plot.
Rdr 2s gameplay feels too much like rdr 1 which is a bad thing because they are 8 years apart , the higher fps means enemies literally have a handicap compared to the player , clunky comabt is probabaly its biggest if not only weakness imo
RDR2 is a soulless, garbage, bland and boring game. while RDR1 is full of excitement and fast paced action. Even the environments feel more alive in RDR1.

i agree with you completely 🥰 rdr1 has a much better wild west vibe.
Nothing can beat the original RDR. It's just too much fun.
RDR2 is more of a RPG, while RDR is an action-adventure game.
Rdr 2 even better some of the rpg games out there
When it comes to gunplay and especially to Ragdolls, RDR1 is clearly the winner...
Rdr1 is still the best and most fun game
So here are things that makes killing npcs fun in both games
RDR2
1. Poison throwing knife
2. Dynamite/Fire arrows
3. Body Dismemberment
4. NPCs bleeding out
5. Kill cams
RDR1
1. GTA 4 like europhia physics
2. Train stopped in the middle of a bridge over a lake
3. Hilarious screams
4. Better Ragdoll animations
5. Dynamite (Dynamite in this game feels more powerful than in the 2nd one)
6. Invincibility cheat
I wish rdr1 was on pc and the newer consoles. If Rockstar had made a remasted version they would have profited a lot!

Red dead 2 may be more realistic but the first red dead is certainly the most classic
The most classic? What does that even mean, it’s older?
@@kipdaedricartifact lol most classic
I agree, Red Dead Revolver is certainly a classic.
Oh you didn't know that was the first game?
@@Limacy that game is why i got rdr1 when it released lol
Rdr 2 so realistic that its boring rdr 1 not as detailed but way more fun
Rdr1 is lika San Andreas to GTA, it is just awesome
Something about @5:17 and the whole Gatling gun train scene is so crisp, satisfying, and I guess “flexible”. This is a core reason in why RDR1 is so fun. Whenever you shoot someone and their horse there’s a random way they fall and flip around.
RDR2 on the other hand feels pretty stiff to me, even if a way more comprehensive game.
Rdr2 doesnt feel stiff. Once you learn to love how the guns sound + reload and bleedouts, it becomes just as good, if not better.
@@jonboner2987 nope. RDR2's shooting is always clunky, stiff and not nearly as fun as RDR1's
As much as i like rdr2 the first one takes the spot to me, like you said in your comment, there's something missing in rdr2 that the first one had, that charm, and of course can't forget about the wilhelm scream effect
2 has that weight while 1 has a slightly realistic slapstick feel in its physics, like the original three stooges
4:19 Wilhelm scream 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Red dead 1 is the best, no matter the quality of the second.
Omg so much nostalgia (music) 0:43 and this bird sound in the background … OOOOOHHH GOOD OLD DAYS back then I was a teenager and had no worries only school stuff.. and now iam 25 and have to pay bills

Rdr 1 still holds up incredibly well, both are masterpieces, but after rdr 2 i can say i like 2 more

beautifully said
Wish they kept swimming in RDR 1
"I've had enough of this."
Thwack!
5:00 poor horses 🐴
@3:16 lmfao
RDR2 is 5 years old and its still the best looking game ever made
I still ptefer 1. Hottake.
🔥🔥🔥
1:50 👋🙋♂️ see ya!
Literally blown sky high
Old gaming is a bit of a stretch
I LOVE YOUR FUNNY VIDEO IT A THUMB UP ON YOUR VIDEO SLY GUNSLINGER FROM RASHEED NATHA SOUTH AFRICA GAMING CHANNEL ONLYS
I always forget that we massacred half of Mexico in rdr1. Viva la revolution
Rdr 2s gameplay feels too much like rdr 1 which is a bad thing because they are 8 years apart , the higher fps means enemies literally have a handicap compared to the player , clunky comabt is probabaly its biggest if not only weakness imo
Rdr1 has better gameplay and stuff while rdr2 is more visually impressive and has shrinking horse balls in cold weather
My PS3 died so I have to say goodbye to RDR1 got a new console on the way, hope RDR2 wastes as much of my life as RDR1 did.
Old gaming >>>>>>>>
🔥🔥🔥😎😎😎👍👍👍👍
RDR2 definitely better

You have a clue
Why can't you love both games?? Stop being a biased loser man. I prefer rdr1 too but you don't have to hate rdr2 that badly...
