![Why Micah Bell is Rockstar's most hated character [SPOILERS]](/img/1.gif)
Am I the only one who had no problems with controls in RDR2?
Edit: If you don’t like the default controls, you can always change them in the settings menu.
I don't either
Nope, just fine...
Fishing for likes huh
Nope same for me
Rem how is that fishing for likes? Saying something like, “👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆🖕👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆 like if you found the middle finger” is fishing for likes
Red dead redemption 2 was tear inducing. Some people talk about how violent video games just corrupt people, but sometimes, the people your playing as in these games, are more than a bunch of murderers. This game has one of my personal favorite protagonists in all of video gaming, as does the original game. Criminals or not, these people are human, and I cared about them in the end.
HeavyDonkeyKong except Micah fuck him 🖕🏼😂
Arthur is on another level of characterization, he is like an actual person
don't forget John Marston
HeavyDonkeyKong you wouldn’t like them in that time of you lived back then, you’d be begging for your life. And most likely they’d kill you any way.
except for Micah
Red dead 2 isn't game of the year it's game of the century and should be in rockstars hall of fame of games with GTA SA
Any game rockstar makes induces an orgasam
If it’s rockstar it’s game of the year
Edit: Not for this year
leon zandbergen it’s only 2018
Witcher 3 is my personal game of the generation, with a tie between god of war and rdr2 taking second place. Minded, this generation isnt over yet, buts its gonna be hard to beat these.
Gta san andreas rdr1 rdr2
I want a remaster of red dead redemption
Its in 4K on xbox, thats all we got for now
It's likely to come actually.
People discovered Mexico with a Glitch, so that makes the entire map of Red Dead Redemption in RDR2.
Adding some lines to fit better with RDR2 and it's even more perfect.
Game Detective what if they add it as a expansion of the story where you play red death redemption 2 then it continues with red dead redemption
@@sebastienbricout7790
Won't happen.
It's Rockstar/Take-Two.
They want more money from singleplayer people, lol.
Im thinking a separate mexico dlc, maybe not undead nightmare but a spinoff dlc in mexico
Can we all just agree that these 2 games together tell one of, if not the most, incredible stories gaming has ever seen?
Agree :)
I agree, but I have to admit that RDR1 still reigns superior for me over RDR2...
Oh Yeah Yeah just because your friend said it is bad doesn’t mean you can join him by saying it considering you haven’t even played it go back to fortnite
@@emperorducky4951 I agree with you, but damn, you don't need to be such an ass lol.
Disagree but there are a lot of other sheep out there to agree with you ;)
Rdr 1 is still a masterpiece
The better game imo, rd2 was more a simulator, while graphically beautiful, I just felt it was eminently less playable, a chore if u will. Just my opinion of course.
@@theydontlikeitupem.4725 to that i will add that rdr2 online is really boring, rdr1 multiplayer was far better.
@@HeadshooterGTAS I'll Double add to that!! The Undead Knightmare DLC is one of the best expansions ever made and rdr2 has nothing similar!
@@theydontlikeitupem.4725 yeah rd1 really felt like a Clint Eastwood movie really love the story
@@theydontlikeitupem.4725The crazy part about it is recently I've discovered the best version of Red Dead 1 is on the switch lmao.
RDR2 is better than GTA IV
Change my mind
That's not a very controversial statement...
I think everyone agrees with you
Make me!
No
ive found more enjoyment in both red deads than i’ve had in any gta game
Undoubtedly one of my favourite video games of all time, and is 100% game of the year for me.
For me it's between this, Spiderman, and God of War. But if smash lives up to the hype then I can easily picture that taking it instead.
HeavyDonkeyKong yeah I don’t think so
HeavyDonkeyKong, Spider man or God of War against RDR2? Nah, I’m sorry but i don’t think so
@@heavydonkeykong5190 rdr2 is WAY better than spiderman but God of War could try but I doubt it
Well fortnite won feels baf
I want RDR1 with RDR2 grapichs
So a remaster
To much time & effort
@@yamayeet8486 I would pay €40 for it most people would. They just carry over what they can from rdr1 then remake the rest.
I dont
Same
The only bad thing with the controls I have experienced so far that has bothered me is how useless scoped weapons are
@Mÿ Pï Dë The sensitivity is my problem
@Mÿ Pï Dë Thanks
these chips are good wtf
RDR2's controls are perfectly functional. They are just as functional as in the first game.
Ryan's Channel stop lying to yourself
@@gonzogorriliaz3460 I'm not. I have no issues with the way RDR2 controls.
Ryan's Channel I’m joking man relax I might not Agree with you but it’s your opinion that’s fine
@@gonzogorriliaz3460 Ok. Well sorry for getting all defensive. I just didn't like it when you said "Stop lying to myself."
Ryan's Channel I guess it’s hard to have a playful tone online sorry
Rdr2 is my fav game of all time
Same
Man hunt 1 red dead 1 was way better than this even red dead revolver was better than this this is shocking more like hunting simulator
If it weren’t for the controls I would think it very well may be untoppable but it’s still my favorite game of all time as well
@@Mr999888777666000 Guess you ain't played it yet
Took me 4 days to complete the main story just an opinion it doesnt compare to other games yet because still waiting for online to see if whats gonna improve im am done with it already tho and it isnt the best thing ive ever played you must be kidding its a nice world but just feels wierd especially in the gun fights. the game looks good n amazing but lacks creativity and your own gameplay is made to feel restricted and was dissapointed with the actual gameplay not the game its self the story was shite after burning dwn braithwate manor it seemed to get more boring after st denis chapter didnt like the ending realy killed it . im not 1 for shooting animals just didnt excite. If there was a couple or a few packs of screaming indians with throwing axes or a hoard of mexican hats to shoot of id give this game all the credit it deserves but it has none of dat because the time period . not 1 bossfight in the game . Its just not what i expected from rockstar when there games use to get harder like warriors and manhunt 1 this game got too easy as soon as i got the automatic shotgun . just deleted blackout get bfv tomorrow red dead is nice just realy frustrated with the little things the little things that count in any game plus having lots of fun on new spyro so fuk you n sore buthole you been riding arthurs cock way too much.
Am I the only one who literally, truly cried from the main ending?
Which game are you talking about? Either way I definetly do not blame you for either one of them. Both of the games are both incredibly emotional. Imo.
oohhh mmyyy.. did I cry..... I was really moved, And the anatagonist relationship between Arthur and Micah, with Marston family in between was just so clever and touching
I found American venom more cry inducing. When you go up the mountain and the song starts playing...
Micah's gang : Just you left huh?
John : Yea, just me!
I did 🙋
Just on chapter 3, but can’t wait to see what the endings all about. My boyfriend cried at the end and the sad part is that he never cries😂 although i got a little spoiled by some degenerates about Arthur, but yeah ill try to avoid comment sections for now
I really want a DLC where they remaster RDR1 but the story begins at the end of RDR2
there won't be a dlc, story mode is dead to rockstar
It’s called the epilogue lmao
@@nindo-4270 You sound stupid as hell
I really want rdr2 undead nightmare or maybe rdr2 dlc where it takes place during the ferry job in Blackwater
I personally still prefer the first one. The second one looks phenomenal but it's just so slow in everything it does. I find myself sometimes just not wanting to play anymore because doing everything takes so much time.
Same
Exactly. The gameplay coupled with the pacing is just nah. I got it and Monster Hunter World around the same time during 2018...guess which has been collecting dust while the other has 1.5k hours played? Yeah, RDR2 felt way too clunky for me (sad cause I loved 1 and was excited for 2) while MHW has been one of the most satisfying games combat wise of this gen
RDR2 had a way bigger world with more things to do but still ended up feeling emptier than RDR1
Me too
do you have servere adhd?
John’s story is good for his game and Arthur’s story is good for his game.
But the ending should of ended with end credits and then the epilogue.
@Self Reliance you really wanted to PAY for that? C'mon
@Self Reliance Please no... no one wants to buy a paid DLC in order to complete the story.
I like John's better it was one of the first games I ever played in 2012 or so I was about 7 or 8 and I got it and loved it. It will always be special to me for that reason.
@Self Reliance nope
@@ninetoedlizard6650 Same, my dad got it for me on my xbox 360, it was a blast.
GTA 4 blew my mind when I first played it.the story is so good it can be made into a movie.and the physics and driving are simply the best.Its been a decade and I'm yet to find a game with better physics and driving mechanics than GTA 4.
Lol
You drunk?
@@gonzoindigenousone8939 yeah bro
driving?
Let me ask again *DRIVING?*
Hahahah
you know what happens in David and Goliath right? that reference makes no sense. David defeats overwhelming odds by not fighting as expected
I was thinking that aswell 😂
Christian boii
Rdr1 has a better style than 2 despite the odds
Four words to describe rdr2 story "we need more money"
"Have some goddamn faith"
"I have a plan."
Also I don't care if this is a late reply
How lazy are we getting sitting down complaining about having to tap a button cmon it aint that hard besides u can change it in the settings to "Toggle To Run"
Lol rdr2 fanboys ....
If you are playing for multiple hours each day it can actually cause quite a lot of pain
@@SonGoku-ep4wj idk who u talkin to but not to me
@@misterconor1434 I haven't had that issue?
The toggle only works on foot. It's no good for a long journy.
Stereotype characters in a Rockstar game? No. Never happened. Lol
“That Scottish guy” you mean Irish?
Josh Harris he was literally talking about a guy called Irish with Irish sterotypes from RDR1, and couldnt get that Sean is a real Irish character.. 🙄
*SARCASM AHEAD FOR YOU IDIOTS*
As a person with Irish descent, Im offended he mistook him for Scottish 😂
EvilSlayer398 u shouldn’t be Irish descent doesn’t make u Irish be born and reared there and then get offended I am Irish and I’m happy there loads of us in the game
Michael Afc um yeah? Im Irish descent, not Irish born? I think you need puntuation somewhere in there kid.
And, I was obviously joking on the last part. You see the emoji? Damn kid, take a hint 🙄
Was annoying me. The character said he was from Donegal which is about an hour drive away from me crossing the border from northern Ireland to Ireland. I can actually see it from my town across the water.
But then again to an American I can see how the two accents sound similar.
@King Swirl 👑 no where did I say I was true Irish. I said I had Irish descent.. learn to read. And if you read my comments, you could obviously tell I was joking around. So stop being an offended asshat
Uploaded again because of RUclips view glitch. Hate those.
YT is so broken! It freezes a lot too
Commonwealth Realm Both games are amazing in they’re own right, I haven’t seen the whole vid yet, But I played both of these games, I played the original 8 years ago, and recently I finished the new one, Rockstar really outdid themselves, they had to combine all of they’re studios just to make this, compared to last game where it was simply Rockstar San Diego, I think we have Rockstars second important franchise behind GTA.
Whats that glitch?
What the heck are you talking about in the controls battle?
You keep showing Arthur’s character climbing up a steep hill and slipping down because that’s obviously what would happen in real life, yet that’s somehow a control issue?
The controls in RDR2 are a lot more smooth in MANY ways. In RDR1 your character is very stiff in movement.
Just face it. RDR2 won in every aspect giving you more than you could ask for.
You are doing it wrong, release the left trigger and the horse will avoid the trees. The rider does not need to see shit, al that matters is can the horse see, now that's a raid!
“Be the criminal”
Me on the other hand having the highest honor in both games not robbing or killing anyone...
Sees a robbery mission oh hell no
Imagine playing a rockstar and not being randomly violent when the games are literally designed for rampages
Atmosphere: RDR1
Envoirment: RDR2
Gameplay: RDR2
Graphics: RDR2
Soundtrack: RDR1
Story: RDR1
100% right
No bitch rdr2 for all of them
Story draw
@@kdavis91624 rdr1's music and atmosphere is better, there really isnt a debate. i think mainly cause both of those kind of intertwined. You walk on a desolate hill in the middle of the desert with the sun setting, and you hear the ominous, intimidating violin
Gameplay RDR2? The fuck?
I actually like the button mash to run. It feels tiring, as it should.
Same, without it i feel like I'm not actually playing
And if you don't like it you can change in the settings
I also think story wise RDR2 stands a bit higher because how you play Arthur changes the entire story and overarching theme
If you start dishonorable and then switch to honorable it really is a story of redemption
If you start as honorable and go into dishonorable it’s a case of being just as harsh as the world as the world as been to Arthur
If you start as dishonorable and stay dishonorable then it’s being a case of being dealt the wrong set of cards and being who you felt you were all along because you don’t think there’s salvation
And if you start honorable and stay honorable the theme more so stays along the lines of being a good man stuck in a bad situation and trying to look out for the people you love
And I think that’s so interesting. With RDR1 John has a very clear mission and you know who he is. There’s not a whole lot of room for personalizing gameplay yknow
Kye Owlery
Well said
(7/3/19)
As much criticisms I give RDR2 that was an amazing point. RDR2 you get to write your own within a narrative story which to me no game I’ve played had that feeling or depth
Sorry but the whole camp thing ruined it for me. Supposed to be a gang of hardened criminals. Not whatever the fuck that camp is.
that is truly a pro over 1, but without the satire it's a little dry of a story no matter how you play it.
@@270eman I agree I don't like that all these mission givers are in one place, kinda too easy and it doesn't feel like the wild west with all these people settling down in one place
Rd2 and Rd1 are probably the best story mode games of all time
What the hell do you mean at 2:12?!
GTA IV was a masterpiece
General Dritz slightly repetive? It HUGELY REPETITIVE as i am only 17 years old so i didn’t play when the game came but i played it two years ago and it was pain in the ass and finally i found a guy who agrees with me ( the youtuber)
@@teukka623 gta 4 sucks gta v and san Andreas are wayyy better .
@@thatguyjohnmarston3480 no gta v definitely is not better
@@ant2901 play 5 then come back to me k 🤗
@@thatguyjohnmarston3480 I've played it twice, the story is decent definitley not better than 4s, gameplay is garbage since there's nothing to do after the story, physics were downgraded and gun fights are extra boring especially since everyone dies to 1 shot in the foot and everytime you shoot someone they end up doing the same fedal position animation which takes me out of the immersion. Only good thing about gta v is the graphics and realistic scenery but the people feel less realistic compared to iv since standing 20 feet away from someone triggers them to run away or fight you
GTA IV was the start of the whole new engine called euphoria, which gave them the physics engine you see in all there games. The story telling and the attention to detail was complained for being too real for gamers, sound familiar to you? If Gta IV became a flop, then we wouldn't have red dead redemption 1 and 2. we would of got stuck with good old blocky GTA SA or goofy Saints row physics.
I mean, SA is the best GTA, sooooo......yeah. and Saints Row 2 is better than GTA 4 🤷♂️
People loved IV it got an 8.3 green when it came out , if heard so many games so how good the sorry is online
This guy is a Joke, GTA IV is easily the best GTA considered by many fans, only those who casually play games would go for SA or V, It was years ahead of its time and as you said it paved the way for our amazing games of later generations, and I don't even want to go into detail about storyline which was a genius class
@@amirmaroof9216 GTA IV's storyline was essentially a critique of the American Dream, though the quality of that story was watered down by GTA's usual wackiness and the game being too long, with major events being separated too far apart by filler missions. The same storyline was done much better in Mafia 2.
@@MrDueltube How can you even possibly compare IV's storyline to the Shaggy too rushed plot of Mafia 2?!!! I remember everyone was basically pissing on Mafia 2 for engaging players in sheer pointless missions like selling cigarettes to emphasize on domestic illegal business within a crime organisation, IV was the perfect parody of Modern society while telling an extremely serious story making player sympathize with a soviet killer all through the game, Side characters are just another example of perfection done by Rockstar IV, years after playing it I still remember missions with Roman, Lil Jacob, Vlad, Playboy, packie etc. As if it's still 2008!
The end is lacking the umph. are you joking. the epiloge is the prologe to rdr 1. the ending was so moving
Zanda thank you!!!!p
I feel the credits should have gone before the epilogue, then it would have been better.
@Yoshimitsu First of all it is nothing like doing that with star wars. Second is that we already know what happens to john so we don't care. We cared about Author cause hes knew and wanted to focus on him. I honestly don't care enough to get in a RUclips argument about it so if you disagree then you disagree
I agree that the ending to Red Dead 2 was awesome. It was essentially a love letter to Red Dead 1.
He meant the ending to Authors tale and not the epilogue.
In my opinion red dead 1 was one of the best games I have ever played in my 31 years of life. Red dead 1 story was probably thee best story i ever saw. All the characters and voice actors where absolutely phenomenal. The music is absolutely incredible. The game play, horse riding and shooting is all so damn fluid and such a joy to do. Im playing this game probably for the 1000 time right now sept 2020 and I still get this damn excited feeling I got when I played it in 2010! My life has literally drastically changed since red dead 1 I was 21 without a care in the world 10 years later im 31 with a 5 year old in kindergarten.....red dead 1 will forever be on my top 5 and hold a very very special place in my heart. Red dead 2 on the other hand was extremely boring and stupid. I literally only beat that game one time and I have absolutely zero desire to ever beat it again!
Red Dead 2 is something for hardcore enjoyers who want to explore the detailed and vivid world. It isn’t for people like you who want to have a fast story and don’t care much about exploring. And if you cared about exploring, you would like RDR2 much more because it has much more to explore than RDR1.
The characters in RDR2 are also more interesting and likable. RDR1 just has funnier characters. RDR2 made Dutch and John so well. And the way how realistic, complex and interesting Dutch’s personality in RDR2 is makes him to one of the best antagonists that exist. You also see some story details you didn’t notice in the first time (I am taking about the story, not about Easter eggs). It literally makes you see everything much more clearly
GTA5 is actually the most boring game of the series as well
"Characters stick around longer in 2" I felt the opposite. Sure, theyre still around, but it felt like the majority of the characters had like 1-2 missions with you. In 1, youd have multiple missions with the characters in whatever chapter they were in. Also, not sure why nigel would be down in Mexico with John, wouldnt actually add anything for them to be a part of every chapter.
I just don’t understand everyone’s problem with the controls like literally they are not even bad at all I play just fine with them
I'll never understand it either.
Same
The first thing i noticed when i shot those O'Driscolls at Adler ranch was that the aiming controls was shit compared to RDR1. if i got on RDR1 now i could aim perfectly fine.
I thought so too, then I played God of War and went back to RDR2 and it felt awful
I actually find them better than other games
Unpopular opinion here, Red Dead Redemption 1 has a better story
I agree man, not only the story of RDR1 is better but the characters are much more memorable and charismatic too, and their faces fit more with the voice acting too, and the most important thing, RDR1 is a real western game you see the wild west there, RDR2 is on the east, green all around and big cities, you never cross the fucking desert in the main story of RDR2, even the characters of RDR2 keep saying that they should be in the west
I disagree, but, I don't think rdr2 has a better story either. I see them as the same story.
@@gabszz That was the thing i was annoyed at. No desert except for 1 mission. Im buying RDR1 soon and I think I'll enjoy it
@@etdrwho8328 yeah youre right
@@gabszz yeah i miss the desert
the controls in RDR2 are "rage inducing". Lets not be hyperbolic just for the sake of having a talking point in your video. That's a little bit out there.
If you know when to switch between 1st person and 3rd (or even cinematic mode) it plays like a dream
Yeah, the controls can be irritating at times. But never have they been rage inducing. And after you get used to the flow of everything, it gets so much easier. Plus tweaking the sensitivity a bit helps a lot
You can change the controls just wanted to let u know that
The controls are trash dude. Straight up. Solid game, but the controls are trash. From the layouts to default response... they are just bad.
@@MikeBrown-go1pc did you play gtav? They are essentially the same, weighty, controls.
Currently replaying through RDR1 on PS3 and it's still without a doubt one of my favourite titles to date.. The music, atmosphere, characters, gameplay and of course the story are all awesome. Haven't managed to get my hands on RDR2 yet unfortunately!
RDR2 is very good and beautiful.....RDR1 is a personal fav
2 is trash..... 1 was a classic
Red dead redemption 2: more detail
Red dead redemption: more fun
Basically. I got bored really fast of 2, whereas I loved playing 1. Maybe I just grew out of liking these types of games (I prefer melee action games, "Soulslike")
Rdr2 should have more fun too the gameplay id better than rdr1 i played rdr1 dont get me wrong but i didnt like the controls in it but i liked rdr2 controls and the gameplay . but anyway I'll respect your opinion
I got both but I prefer Red Dead Redemption 1 more I’m playing on switch I love it I can’t believe how nice this game on switch and it runs so well
I felt a better atmosphere in read dead 1
I think the same, RDR1 feels like a real western with the deserts, instead of RDR2 with all green all the time and big cities
True
Frank West same.
Green Geko just the overall setting.
Green Geko no I think rdr2 is the far better game and I enjoy it a lot more. The only concept I like more about the first game is its old west feel.
Am I the only one prefers RDR1 HUD and UI like damage filters?
RDR2 is better in every technical way you can compare, but I find the story of 1 better. The entire Mexico chapter and the ending of the game were a giant kick in the balls, but epic for it.
Personally didn’t like the story telling in either, but rdr2 pulls some really nice stuff out there that’s awesome, like how Arthur gets sick, when he talks about how he wants to die and all that. Also the character development in RDR2 is amazing. However, there is Guarma...
@@Aldoz i really want to know how you didnt like rdr2's story? For me this is the best singleplayer game i have ever played
scarface 5021 ah it’s difficult to explain I think cause it’s an open world game, it can be difficult to understand the story 100% since the game isn’t linear at all. I think the story is decent, and I love a lot of the characters, but it’s nothing special story wise to me. It’s good to be a triple a game that doesn’t really need to rely on a good story though.
That's understandable, RDR 1 is 8 years old. It would be a fucking embarassment if the second one wasn't better when it comes to graphics and mechanics.
Snake Enjoying a Sandwich I wonder why you hate Mexico I think that the best part of the game actually
Personally, I prefer RDR 1 over 2. I found the story of 2 boring until I was halfway in Chapter 4. Because there seemed no point, no end goal, just outlaws being outlaws, and that doesn't really apeal to me. In RDR1 your goal is clear from the get go, Find the remaining member of your old gang, and get your family back. Sure in RDR2 there was a goal from the start, but thats just any goal that any outlaw would have. So again, basicly it was just Outlaws being Outlaws. And the missions bored me alot. Every mission was that they make a plan, execute the plan, plan goes wrong, and you kill everyone. I was hoping that atleast once the plan would go as planned. This is especially frustrating when you have a stealth mission, and you are not allowed to kill anyone. And then when you reach where you needed to sneak to, a cutscene plays, and in that cutscene something goes wrong, and then you kill everyone, if I could just shoot everyone while comming in that would be great, but no you have to sneak around for what feels like forever only to kill everyone later anyway. Other then that I did enjoy the game alot.
I agree generally, and in many ways specifically, with what you've said. I think the problem with cross-generational comparative reviews like this one is that the person conducting the analysis was either a) too young to remember or properly consume the impact or innovation of the older game when it was released, or b) is simply playing the older game retroactively, and having to work hard to overcome a natural bias toward favoring technological advancements of the newer game. I bought RDR I the day it was released; I was 31 years old. I am now 40 years old. I remember both very clearly, and RDR I was the better game at release. It was IMMEDIATELY engaging, and did not drown the player in survival/simulation mechanics that would be better suited for a "survival mode" second playthrough. I could go on and on, but in the end, RDR II is an absolutely fantastic game, but it does not do enough to overcome its predecessor.
John depressing story is boring
No
Exactly
Wilbert Beltman same red dead 2 to me when I first played it was the best game ever made until I played it again and realized how stiff and forced it was with its missions. To me what made me prefer rdr1 was the shooting and western sunset that felt like a scene from a film where as RDR2 most of the environments look foggy and lack that western vibe even when in New Austin, it does saddens me to see people bandwagon the game and attack anyone who doesn’t give it a 10/10
The story is better in Red Dead Redemption 2? I highly disagree. I prefer the first game’s story way better because halfway throughout RDR2, Arthur with the Dutch gang are stranded and captured on an island and are force to go at war with some soldiers almost like it’s a different game like Tomb Raider or Uncharted. Doesn’t feel like Red Dead at all. With that said, I believe the first game’s storyline is way more memorable for me.
In defense of RDR1’s wacky characters, they’ve got desert fever (like cabin fever, but in the desert)
Edit: the rest of the wacky characters that aren’t in the desert just have cabin fever. Or some variation of fever of the mind.
Who said that GTA 4 was nothing in comparison to San Andreas. It has the second highest rating on metacritic after ocarina of time .
Yeah, SA is lame for a 6th generation game tho we still have games from PS2 era that stands the test of their time like GOW 2 ans Resident Evil 4, Just like GTA IV is an ultimate classic and still amazing to play
@@amirmaroof9216 SA was lame? It won GOTY 2004, was critically acclaimed, and ended up being the best selling PS2 game of all time
@@amirmaroof9216 how was SA lame? It's content and even details still put some games to shame.
Red dead redemption 1 had amazing graphics for 2010. I still love it for it's gritty feel
I remember seeing the commercials for it on tv when I was in 5th grade and I had to beg my mom to let me have an M rated game, never regretted since.
I’ve never played the first one. Just bought the game of the year addition for my Xbox one x
Playing RDR1 and I'm reading the newspaper in armadillo when all of a sudden I find an article that says: Wonder Tonic
And guess what......it cures lumbago.
Lol
Was it worth the 8 year wait? HELL YES!
@@davidf2676 go play fortnite if you dont like it
@@hawkmanwalter4250 besides the story, red dead redemption 2 isn't good, it's the complete opposite of the first game. Rockstar sucks at making sequels.
Flooded area3261 dude, it is a prequel. Also it is very good
@@exodus4550 I meant trying to make games better, red dead redemption 2 as a game is a sequel to the first one. The game is too realistic.
Flooded area3261 I found it fine
How about the PS2 games that started the spark of desire for old west games?
Red Dead Revolver vs. Gun
For me 2’s ending was infinitely more impacting.
I was horrified by the ending for John in 1, but I straight up cried for a good 15 minutes when the end rolled up in 2.
RDR1 made me feel like a cowboy in the wild west more that RDR2 did tbh
DauntingKitty that’s the opposite of what they want you to feel, it’s the Era of the Wild West dying down, they should equally make you feel like a badass cowboy, just the era in you play in RDR1 is the time of pretty much the last gunslinger, and in RDR2 it’s got plenty more of the Wild West features and more old western things due to the fact of it being older.
Personally I really liked the stereotypes in red dead 1. In my opinion I love over the top characters but in the sense of realism I can understand why people wouldn't like them.
SubnormalSnow27 but werent they real, yeah they were crazy and kinda abnormal but they were real
People don't get that RDR1 is supposed to be a satire of old spaghetti western films, of course it has stereotypes and caricatures of characters.
@@themadtitan7603 Yeah I think the satire is gone in 2, all they have is alcohol humor... woohoo! it is funny but lame relative to the wonderful satire that rockstar is good at.
@@jpegjake RDR2 went full revisionist western and wasn't interest AS MUCH (it's still there) in satirezing much of anything in favor of just telling a compelling story about a bunch characters.
GTA4 was leaps and bounds above SA in my opinion jesus I dont get the hate.
Story wise definitely but gameplay wise hell no. If a gta game had the gameplay of gta San Andrea's mixed with the story of gta4 it would be better. The ballad of gay Tony has really fun missions similar to GTA San Andrea's though but it's only a DLC so it's over kind of soon.
I tried San Andreas and OH MY GOD! When will the plot actually start??

Rdr2 feels like a completely different game and I don't know why. Maybe because you are a part of a gang? Its much better but feels like a different franchise
Really? I felt the exact opposite. Like RDR2 was the perfect sequel to the first game in every way.
Especially with the Epilogue, like holy shit.
I’d honestly rather look at RDR1&2 as one big game rather than two separate ones.
@@overdrive6687 i would too but thats just not how I saw it. John was on his own most of the time in the first and rarely saw the gang. Red dead 2 was bigger in everyway. You would spend time just because with the gang and do everything with them. It had a different feel to it where in the first John was just shooting up everything and in the eecond where you were a part of a family and tried to make it out of tough decisions
I just bought the game a couple of weeks ago, for some reason I can't explain I'm having a problem getting into this game.
I initially had the same problem with RDR II. I did not have this problem with RDR I; I couldn't put that one down until the bitter end. I believe the problem is that RDR II starts with less focus, less engaging dialogue (relative to RDR I), and drowns the player in survival/simulation mechanics that should have been part of a "survival/realism" mode better suited for a second playthrough.
JPIII I hope if RDR2 gets re released on next gen consoles that it will have more missions with your camp companions and have a bonding level similar to gta iv that in returns they give you items. It disappointed me because I wanted to hang out with Javier and Bill before the events of rdr1
Just because Arthur is an outlaw with a good heart doesn’t mean you should play as a criminal because he’s looking for a way out of the gang life besides read the title the key word is Redemption
Half the reason people play rockstar games is to be the psycho they can’t be in real life you flaming idiot lmao
This was a very fair video. As an old-school RDR player, I do wonder if I will play RDR2 as many times as I played through the original and DLC. Overall, it did give me some closure on my fandom of the original, and perhaps I will drift on with my life to other things now. Time will tell. ( I subscribed! )
You really enraged me when you said GTA IV didn’t live up to GTA SA. GTA IV has the best engine of any game every made. Period. The story is amazing as well. It is far better than GTA SA and GTA V
-KIMG- no it isn’t the story and graphics and better but that’s it once you beat the game there is nothing to do but mod it and play blowing with romeman when sa had fair few things to do it be a trucker or do a extremely hard run bike ride and swim or just do some good old cheats like flying cars flying boats cars that drive on water and more go to the gym go to car school plane school boat school
You just drive around the city 3/4 time of the game.
I’ve seen so many people compare the content of RDR1 to RDR2 and I just wanted to explain why these features wouldn’t have worked.
Mexico: It wouldn’t make sense to have Mexico in RDR2. The entire plot of the game is the Van der Linde gang attempting to escape incoming society which threatens their way of life. So having a portion of the map where things are more lawless and free wouldn’t make a whole lot of sense as it would make the entire story feel pointless.
More Diverse Mounts: As is mentioned in this video, R* was going for a more realistic tone for RDR2. Therefore, riding around on Buffalos, Demon Horses, and other such things wouldn’t really fit.
Fame and Duels: R* actually gives a reason for both of these in “The Noblest of Men, and a Woman”. When asked about how Arthur feels about fame and glory he says that he isn’t interested in fame which makes sense considering he’s on the run. He also says that he doesn’t do much gunslinging since anyone he sees needs killing he prefers to shoot in the back. It wouldn’t work for John Marston either since he is also trying to lie low in the Epilogue.
Bigger Weapons Wheel: RDR1 did have a bigger weapons wheel. It allowed you to access any of your guns at any time. This wouldn’t have worked in RDR2 because, again, realism. You can’t carry several long guns at once.
More to do in New Austin: You can’t do much in New Austin during the main story because of the fact that you’re wanted in West Elizabeth. You can’t really complain about that because that detail was a thing all the way back in RDR1 with the Blackwater Ferry Heist. Later on in the Epilogue there still isn’t a lot there. That makes sense. Most of the encounters that people enjoyed in the main story were things like shootouts with rival gangs and whatnot. The thing is that by the Epilogue those gangs aren’t around anymore, or at least they aren’t as prominent. You’ll still run into Del Lobos in New Austin but they won’t be as common because of the time in which the Epilogue takes place.
I hope I have cleared some things up for people. If you think of any more I’ll edit them into the comment.
Story was better in RDR1 to me. It had a lot more impact to me and made me care a lot more about the character and the world. Sure, RDR2 fleshes out characters more as you are spending more time around them, but more isn't always better. I wanted Marston to be successful and happy. I was emotionally invested in RDR1. I just don't care so much about this gang or character in 2. Emotional investment is what makes great games IMO.
i agree with the part about the world..i cared for the world in rdr 1...in rdr 2 i just didnt give a damn...not a single place was memorable for me...it all looked the same with excessive green
You're comparing your experiences as yourself now and your younger self, that's not fair at all. What you need to do is play both games again, and compare them in an organized manner. Otherwise, when you say rdr1 story is better, it's just your nostalgia talking
Chase Umeh you need to get off your high horse and realize that other people’s opinions are valid and there is no criteria for an “acceptable opinion”. Otherwise, using your own logic against you, I could jus as easily argue that you are blinded by hype and that’s the reason you like RDR2 over the first one. But that wouldn’t be any more credible an argument than yours. People like what they like so stfu.
@@wolverineiscool7161 in that case rdr 1 looked the same with that excessive pale desert.
Even with characters that you end up caring about more like Javier, he ends up betraying you and siding with Dutch anyways and it feels like that was out of convenience because he's a villain in the first Red Dead Redemption game.
This man complained about tapping the X or A button to run.... even though tapping the X button to run is in literally every single open world Rockstar game. Like why give hate to RDR for tapping a button to run when literally every game rockstar makes includes the tap to run feature lol?
Matty86 •M86• it could get annoying but nothing big. In assassins creed you just hold the right trigger and he keeps running it’d be better if the horses and running was like this in red dead but no biggie like I said
There is a setting to have run as a toggle leaving tapping X for sprinting.
In a week RDR2 sold double of what RDR1 sold in 8 years. All I'm going to say is 50% of those people bought the game on bandwagon hype alone.

The only issue with the controls on RDR2 is that there is so much you can do. For a new player it might be easy to hit the wrong button because there’s so many things you can do with the combinations of the controls. Also this game is more slow paced. This game is set up to take you on a real journey. Sometimes this game can be like fishing…you have to have patience. Especially when it comes to completing the challenges. I’m not saying this is a hard game. But it is a game that uses the controls to immerse you into the experience. The realism in this game forces you to take things slow and steady sometimes. You have to watch your step, you have to be careful, and when you don’t you suffer a consequence. Much like real life. This is meant to put you into the game. I feel like RDR2 does a great job at making you FEEL like Arthur Morgan. There are moments in the game where you FEEL Arthur’s adrenaline rushing in a gun fight. The screen even shakes a bit. When you get attacked by a bear the way the game makes you feel the fear as the camera shakes and you have to mash tf out of a button to fight for your life. You are more than a killer in this game. This game allows you to connect and grow with Arthur. You even have to take care of him all the way down to his hygiene. You have to clean his weapons. You have to donate, upgrade, feed, shelter, and protect your gang. There’s so much to do so for a new player the controls can come off as a little stiff. But it’s done like that on purpose. You are on a journey. This game has so much life and adventure built into it. The developers knew that this game was going to be a work of art. So they made the controls the way they did so the player can really take in the story.
My problem with RDR2's story is with how far the gang has gotten, they seemed pretty incompetent the whole game.
To be fair, RDR2's story starts of the gang on the run from a botched heist plan where there were rumors of the leader, Dutch, losing himself. And as the game slowly progresses you hear more and more about the incident until you start seeing more and more actions from him that show how he has become unhinged and it progresses until the gang isn't even recognizable anymore. They were lost from the start by having such blind loyalty to a leader who had lost his way and what he originally stood for.
@@redfishrambo5761 I think Dutch was always just a hypocrite
@@redfishrambo5761
Dutch was absolutely fantastic after guarma. He was successful to loot the train, kill Cornwall and basically every move he made after guarma was lit.
If micah didn't rat out then gang would've been fine. There was something about Dutch that you wont find in Arthur and Marston. He can give people hope and make them rely on him. He was charismatic and born leader.
I feel sorry for Dutch but there are mighty people who has fallen due to cowerds. Jesse James for example..
Kinda wish that the bounty missions were infinite in Red Dead Redemption 2 like they were in Red Dead Redemption 1. They're really fun to do and they helped you gain honor and lowered the bounty price on your head. Hopefully they make them unlimited in a future update.

Gamer Singer RDR2 is better than the Witcher 3 imo
@@TheGreatHotDogConsumer
My mistake. I actually messed up that last comment. It is fixed now. And yea. I can imagine a "lot" of games, before and after The Witcher 3 released, that can be argued to be superior as far as actual game design goes and not personal bias. I would say for it's time even the original Red Dead Redemption is technically better than The Witcher 3 overall despite it's age. The Witcher 3 is an above average good game but not much else when you consider everything it tries to do and how much it actually get's wrong. There are good games, there are great games, and there are genuine masterpieces. The Witcher 3 just barely makes it as a good game overall. Those kinds of games are a dime a dozen honestly. It may have some good points and some may even be considered quite special but when you add it all together it isn't that amazing.
calitroit45 that’s why i said imo. You think the Witcher 3 is better? That’s fine, I won’t deny it’s a great game, but personally, I like RDR2 more.
@calitroit45
Replay value also does not necessarily equate into a more superior game overall though. Good above average game, certainly but it has a lot of problems especially when you consider that it came out in 2015.
Ok so everyone keeps complaining about the controls... my question is why? Is part of the realistic experience, people just want the easiest things and all they want is arcade feel movement, let me just do this anatomy, Arcade racers Vs realistic racers, arcade racers are just for the fun of playing with the driving controls, realistic racers might not always go your way since it's trying to perfect the realism of the physics as much as it can
An example is CDNTHE3RD, he kept giving the game shit even though it's a master piece, just because he is used to casual games like H1Z1 and Fortnite
The controls aren't clunky like everyone complaints about it, people are just retarted, tapping X/A like freaks, almost killing the horse stamina, doesn't pay attention to the fucking game and hit a tree "Horse, what the fuck are you doing?" Like dude, you're controlling the freaking animal, how the fuck is this his fault! The people who usually complaints about RDR2 controls are usually casual players, people who streams or impatience ones. Other night I was watching a stream and the guy streaming was complaining about "How RDR2 game pace is too slow for his taste, that it didn't have any type of fast travel in the game" or whatever, it makes me sad to see how impatience people grew to be, even playing a master piece like RDR2 is. Instead of just sit back and relax, play the game and enjoy it, people are going for the trill of killing and causing mayhem throughout the world, thinking that it is GTA 5 Western and getting frustrated when they're wrong.
@@comtebonfim I think it's easy to say that some of this streamers/ RUclipsrs have a concept in their mind of what a game is supposed to be, a fun thing to pick up and play, most are used to casual games, sadly call of Duty and fortnite are still topping the charts and as you can see its because it fits to the majority of casuals, but when they see that a beast such as RDR2 was comming and it for sure was going to make their views go up, they play the game, the game is topping the charts because of it being one of the best because of the pure ambition, but that means that it's going to be the popular game all the casuals are moving over to play it, sadly streamers are usually the ones that hop into the game expecting some fortnite, arcade game feel experience, and what they get its just too much for them to keep up with, like you said the fact that they can't even keep up with the system of the Horse stamina really unsettles me, and worst yet those who didn't bother to understand the skill of this master piece instead of praising it for challenging their casual skills instead they do the opposite and call it a bad game, solely based on their experience having to deal with a game that is not casual enough for them.
Some people just want more comfortable controls, and some of these "casuals" are the most die hard rockstar and rdr fans ever. You saying all of this nonsense just makes it seem like you can't handle other people's criticisms and opinion, because their control schemes are a valid point whichever way you attempt to spin your argument.
Are you just going to say that the clunky aiming system is just realism? Because it's not, all of the casuals are even praising the game as one of the best of our century so most of your points are redundant.

As relistic as possible is what rdr2 is meant to be

The second battle of “controls” was very stupid, i hate to break it to you, but if you keep running into trees with your horse, it’s your damn fault! And if you’re often “frustrated” with the controls, it honestly just means you suck at the game. Sure, the controls aren’t amazing, but they’re perfectly fine if you’re even remotely good at the game
Horses auto guide away from tree, so if you hit left while your too close, it will use rng to decide weather to go left or right. It always seems to choose away. Run up to a tree, and dont touch. It SHOULD, go around it

RDR1 was an extremely bleak and cynical story where it has the message of how you can never make up for the bad things you've done and your only hope of redemption is to die.
Whereas RDR2's story was so refreshingly optimistic and hopeful as it takes the opposite message; you can change and make up for the bad things you've done by helping others and make amends with the people you've wronged.
One problem no one talks about is that rdr2 felt nothing like a western game. It felt like a present day game with horses. Rdr1 takes place after rdr2, and feels more like an old timey western, than Rdr2. At first I thought it was just the map, but u realised in the epilogue that it just doesn't feel like a western game. It seems that rdr2 characters even use words that I'm pretty sure weren't even said back then.
You have to remember the west was essentially dead at this point in both games. The west was dying and the fact one feels more like a western is the fact it's set in Mexico and new Austin not new hanover and new Austin. As new hanover is not a typical western setting as it's civilized and filled with the law with modern towns like saint Denis. You got to remember the whole premise of red dead 2 is that by moving out east Dutch doomed the gang , what's left of the west is back in new Austin the classic west with very little civilization. And the epilogue shouldn't feel like a western as again the worlds changing and the west way of living has died in places like new hanover, it's no longer lawless and sparsely populated like new Austin is.
@@cole8340 I kind of agree with you, but I was still wanting some little twangy type song to play every now and then, like what happened in rdr1. Like just have a little western type noise every now and then. And even in rdr2, the epilogue still doesn't give that same feeling. Maybe the music could have just changed wherever you are, like of you are in saint Denis, you hear the city type music (which you do) but back by small towns like valentine or strawberry, it was more of the country type music you hear, and in new Austin, I wild have been fine with the same old music as rdr 1
@@h8full575 yeah I do agree, I miss the music from red dead 1 it was perfect. Seeing how we played as John in the epilogue it would've been perfect for red dead 1s soundtrack to be used. The music makes me wish for a read dead 1 remaster so much more as it was the perfect western soundtrack imo.
@@cole8340 ik. The music was so nostalgic. The whole map if new Austin in rdr2 was just bland. Which I guess makes sense since it takes place a little bit before rdr1, but idk, it just felt way too dead. Even in the epilogue I was in rdr2s map
@@h8full575 That's why we got to have faith that they built new Austin up for a expansion of sorts with the most realistic being a remaster of 1. Although I don't know it just feels so weird and almost unfinished riding though new Austin like it's how it should be but still I pray it's because they are planning on remastering 1 or atleast adding more single player content involving new Austin. So much hints towards this though as the nostalgic trumpets that play on rdr 1 in Mexico can be heard in certain spots on the border of new Austin. And same the only time I was forced to go to new Austin was during the obligatory mission or two with Sadie at pikes basin and secondly for the legendary cougar. Other than that there's no real point for new Austin other than fan service maybe?

but that isnt the real west! yea there were deserts in the west but there were mainly lush green biomes full of life too! red dead redemption 1 is heavily fabricated. the real west was a deserted waste land which is potrayed in red dead redemption 2. and accuracy is always better.

All in all, RDR2 has everything that makes a game almost perfect. The characters, the location, the missions, just everything.

Desert, dust, gangs, vicious bandits...

It isn’t. Most people who were new and started with RDR2 and then played RDR1 say that RDR2 is better. You probably started with RDR1 and have a nostalgic connection to this game and like it more. I started with RDR1 too years ago and started to replay it since yesterday and I also have a nostalgic connection to this game, but I am not blinded by nostalgia and know that RDR2 is decades better than RDR1.
Or you just like the story/feeling of RDR1 more and that’s why you find the game better (which is an understandable opinion). I personally like the RDR2 atmosphere more because its unique. RDR1 is basically like a stereotypical western movie with satire. RDR2 on the other hand is more like a simulator of the Wild West and is more historically accurate. And therefore, as a history fan, I prefer RDR2
I like tapping a and x to run
Those characters aren't cartoonish which you mentioned, they are just not normal and were more darker to me and damn more sad..

Just gonna stop you half way through, 1 is better than 2 in every fucking way. 2 looks nice but that's it
FYI, The horse will steer around trees without your input.
I honestly think it's somewhat impossible to compare and say which story is better since both games told the best story they could with the approach they went with.
In the first game, the world takes center stage and John is simply a victim of it. It's a full-on satire that manages its political themes very well (watch Wisecrack's video on it).
On the second game however, it's a much more character focused game while the world is just in the background and obviously, because of this, it manages to make its main character more relatable.
I would say I like the first game's story a little more because I prefer its themes and setpieces.
Yeah the 1st game felt like the true western caricature. The music and everything. Felt like all the spaghetti westerns I watched growing up. I think the game was a little more dark in its themes sometimes to. The undead nightmare dlc was amazing.
8:19 “With that in mind” Proceeds to show a mine.
Gotta love how Common Realm completely neglects to mention the horrendous amount of tedious linearity in this game that's way to punishing to the player if he or she has the audacity of trying to play in a way that isn't the very specific way that the game wants you to play it. At times, it legitimately felt like I was holding my TV remote and holding down a very specific button on it in order to keep a movie on playing. This becomes the most apparent at the beginning of chapter 5 that is honestly the worst part of a video game that I've ever played. It came out of left field and broke what immersion that I had with the game up until that point and it was ruined when I was suddenly thrown out of the setting that Red Dead Redemption 2 had established up until that point. In the first game, this kind of thing never happened and although it was linear at some points, it was no where near as bad or punishing to the player. Everything in Red Dead Redemption felt connected, made sense, and had a purpose to it with zero broken ass mechanics that are either complete dog shit or makes no fucking sense at all. The first game also didn't force you to do a two hour long prologue to teach you shit that you'll most likely never use as it was intended, such as hunting that you can do much more efficiently by just chasing game on your horse and shooting them with your bow. The first game also didn't have a failed Chekhov's gun with the constant mentioning of the money your gang failed to get in Blackwater, but it is apparently still there to be collected, which there is never a conclusion to this and it turns out to be a massive fucking waste of potential. The story to Red Dead Redemption 1 is far better to Red Dead Redemption 2 as the first game was a complete mystery to what will happen and was very unpredictable to what will happen, the second game on the other hand we already knew from the get go as to what will become of the gang and Author Morgan as a result of the first game. This video clearly doesn't understand that and apparently it prefers predictable storytelling over unpredictable storytelling that leaves you wondering as to what will happen next. RUclipsrs like NakeyJakey and AKindAleWar explained it best on their channels and I highly recommend watching their videos on Red Dead Redemption 2, also if you can go back to play the first game you can see how much better it is compared to the second game in terms of being an actual fucking video game!
Red dead revolver 3 anyone get it. You better.
I like red dead redemption because of its story
I like red dead redemption 2 because of its gameplay
Rdr2 had an unfair advantage in story because it had rdr1 story to build off of
I will say so, I love RDR the whole series, come on, I only had a tendency to play in 2, however, I didn't hear anything about this game and probably few people heard about RdrR and Rdr1 when 2 came in, anyway everyone got crazy on point 2 and Revolver or 1? By the way Arthur is one of the best protagonists in all the games I played, it disappointed me how he died but John Marston is also good and I have a great desire to play Rdr1
Both 1 and 2 have equally great stories.
Yes 1 has some comedic characters, but they aren’t 1 dimensional stereotypes and just as memorable and have just as many missions and John isn’t just an errand boy.
For anyone complaining about spamming X, or A to run, go into your settings, go to controls, third person controls, and switch that to Standard FPS. It switches the crouch button with the run button, so now all you need to do to full sprint is just click in the left stick. This doesn't effect the horse riding.
