I rarely come across an up-and-coming channel with a few hundred subs that has this much quality, care and thought put behind it. But when I do, I like, comment and subscribe.
12:40 this part which just never makes sense to me, and I hear this sentiment a lot. mostly because everything you were praising about the game, with its atmosphere and style that aged gracefully, seems thrown to the wind whenever the concept of porting the game into RDR2's engine is brought up. The tone of one game is worlds apart from the other, so as an experiment it'll be interesting. But it certainly won't do the original game any favours. I do think the game is closely related to the playstyle of the individual however. RDR1 hides its own splendour as a 3rd person shooter by defaulting controls with casual lock on mode and low aim sensitivity (free aim is only playable at max sensitivity). But when you experience the game in that fashion (or just try hardcore mode) - it's not a interactive cutscene to cutscene game as much as RDR2 ended up being. The depth and detail of the combat is astonishing, it improved everywhere that GTAIV falters, and laid the foundation for everything that made Max Payne 3 one of the all time greatest TP shooters to exist. I think that's the hidden and somewhat tragic irony behind the genius of RDR1. It's very understated. It sold itself too short, despite being one of the best selling games and GOTY for the genation. It was made at a time where Rockstar was still trying to decide whether they wanted to be conquer the gameplay end of the spectrum (Max Payne/Bully/GTAIV) or the cinematic (GTAV/RDR2) and was the goldilocks moment where, for this one title, they found the perfect middle. I can only hope that they return to this again in GTA 6, and not bring just a great story, but a game so remarkably engineered and mechanically refined - it'll rival RDR1.
Better atmostphere better combat better physics better and more nuanced story No you're not the only one. And I played RDR 2 for over 1200 or so hours before I did RDR1. People will say blinded by nostalgia, I think theyre blinded by shiny graphics.

Thank you so much!!! That means a lot to us :)
Keep it going 🎉
I want to play it but sadly it's not on PC and emulators are not my thing
I’m not a fan of emulation either!
