I played rdr2 first then 1 and idk but i just love the first game more
Logical.
Listen if you take it without context, it has to be 2.
But they are EIGHT years apart and a different console. I personally feel RDR1 is the more memorable game and it’s my personal favourite game of all time.
I played it when it first came out and have platinumed it. Maybe nostalgia clouds me, but I personally will always go for rdr1.
The only thing I don’t like is when people haven’t played 1 and decide that 2/ Arthur is superior. You don’t have an opinion if you haven’t played both
True
Yeah it feels like this guy forgot that’s rdr1 is 2 gens older than rdr2
Red dead 2 is far and away the 'better' game on basically every metric I think Red Dead 1 is the more memorable game for me being a true western.
Better replay value and side interests in RDR1 by far. Edit: oh and the horses I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the stable system in each game. Second one may have the first best on realism but God if I didn't just absolutely hate it
@@huntercollum869depends on your taste becuase for me i find that rdr2 has a better replay value, just so much you can miss on your first second or even third run. It does depend on how you like to play the game though if you’re more boots to action then ofc rdr1 is for you but some others prefer to take it slow and explore, in which i think we can both agree rdr2 has a far more detailed map
@@huntercollum869 I haven't yet played rdr1 but I have the ps4 copy, right now I'm on a new game in rdr2 in chapter 3 but I have to say I had found in the beginning it is pretty tedious where you have get satchels if you want to hold more stuff or get trinkets to improve your abilities also if you want to upgrade the whole camp that includes pelts, also I always do every challenge in rdr2 to get full health, stamina and deadeye bar.
Rdr1 has much better writing, side characters, villains, dialogue, cutscenes, music, atmosphere, side quests, chapter variety, gunplay. Lol at your "better in every metric"
@@fightingtothepoint4u732 never said it was better or worse than in the other brother, just said one was more detailed than the other and caters to different styles of play; personally i think they both amazing games and have their own right to be called amazing games
I liked the fame system, robbing safes in banks and jail houses and the classic outfits and attributes they gave the main character from the original game. It’s also much more casual to play than the second game.
Also in my opinion, I think the stranger missions were better in the first.
Rdr1 is more fast paced setting feels more western. And gunplay is unmatched
I’m going to say RDR1 is leagues more fun than the second. More fast paced, cool characters, it takes place in the actual desert, as opposed to the swamp from RDR2. Can go to Mexico (don’t remember if you can in the second one). John Marston is a freakin Terminator. The horse in RDR1 had this cool little trick to get infinite stamina, as opposed to the second one. Jesus that horse maintenance was driving me crazy in RDR2. Speaking of the horse, you spend most of the time riding him from point A to point B, and while that was also true for RDR1, it didn’t feel nearly as tedious.
What else… RDR1 has those old school cheat codes that games these days just don’t have anymore. That added a ton of replay value. Oh and let’s not forget the DLC Undead Nightmare, a ton of fun.
Yeah they went for too much realism in RDR2 and the story was too much yappity-yapp. Plus maintaining a camp that was never gonna make it? Lol
They should have just made it like RDR1, a fun arcade third-person shooter, could have been amazing.
Rdr1 gameplay>>>>>>>>
FACTS bro , I thought I was the only one who felt that way... RDR 1 gameplay is far better and has so much replay value (also much less stressful)
He is clear
The one thing that separates them... Arthur can swim but like any good parent, I don't have a favorite.
To be honest, the gameplay and gunplay of RDR1 is way better than the one in RDR2. It's way more fun to move around and shoot enemies. The ragdoll physics and shooting mechanics in the original can't be beaten!
Story is also better, wandering from camp to camp with no objective versus bringing in two guys to save your entire family, I know what I’m picking
What frustrates me the most maybe about the gunplay in RDR2 is that various aspects of it converge to essentially place a ceiling on how good you can get at actually shooting on some level. I have mastered most of the weapons in RDR, but it just doesn’t feel “possible” in 2 because of how the gunplay is. The developers put a cap on how much you can truly “master” the gunplay.
I don’t know if that comes across at all or if other people get that feeling, it is hard to explain but it is very acute, especially if you have spent time with the original.
RDR 1 = Better gameplay , more fun shooting and a true badass Western also unlimited activities , let's not forget it's less stressful (even after you get 100.0% completion still unlimited replay value)
RDR 2 = Better graphics , story , characters , map , script // dialogue and ending (game feels dead after you get 100.0% completion)
Fair
Rdr1 story is shorter and more basic, but i think it is better
Characters in rdr1 are more charismatic, overall it depends of the characters we talk about cause micah has no depth ( just a bad killer opportunist), dutch, as smart as he should be, is easy to manipulate,....
Map i think you're right but rdr2 map isn't western, which is sad imo
Dialogues, in rdr1 mant dialogues are memorable when in rdr2 there's few really good ones
Ending, in rdr1 it's more unexpected and we really feel lost as jack is when we start playing as him. The fact we know Arthur's gonna die hours before it happens make me felt way sadder for john ( also cause i prefered john, as attached i was to Arthur, i just was more to john) but epilogue was good in rdr2
Imo
RDR2 is better from a technical standpoint - it pretty much improved on everything from the first game, gameplay features, game world, missions, immersive behaviour of NPC’s, weapons etc. - but RDR1 just had a certain magic and mystique about it that RDR2 wasn’t able to replicate. There’s something very, very special about RDR1. I’ll never forget playing it for the first time and how it made me feel while playing.
rdr 2 is missing so many weapons from the first game lol
@@DinaricUbermensch And? The overall weapon selection is better in RDR2 and you can modify guns as well as craft ammunition.
@@user-om2fg7yh6s nah that still doesnt make it better, diferent ammo types hav every little impact in the game
@@DinaricUbermensch You can literally craft ammo that sets people on fire, explodes on impact or takes off their limbs. What on earth are you talking about?
@@user-om2fg7yh6s ok? and? that doesnt mean anything also all ammo can take off limbs
They are both solid, I'm not going to compare one against the other. Rather I play 2 and then the first one as a single experience; a true Red Dead Redemption from the frozen hills of Colter up to the moment Jack leaves Ross' ass floating with the fishes
I agree the tone of each is very different
RDR1 is better, RDR2 is the flavour of the month being a new game so everyone chooses that. Notice how when people put up a poll, it’s always the newer released games that win? People in this day and age ain’t got time to appreciate RDR1’s brilliance when they’re glued to warzone all day unfortunately
You when someone has a different opinion 😡😡😡
This is right my friend. Some can cry or try to politize everything they want.. Red dead 1 is clear.
“Flavor of the month” brother what the fuck are you on? Gotta be one of the dumbest comments I’ve seen
Dang I always felt that the people who thought RDR2 was boring were just low attention span Fortnite/Warzone kids. They’re both masterpieces
@@EZ-Flixred dead 2 is rdr 1s story all over again except it has too many pointless characters, and needlessly slow combat. What is the point of making the shooting and movement so clunky?
Protagonist = tie
Game play = RDR1
Story = RDR2
World = RDR2
Fun = tie
Story for me would be equal for both games.
DLC= RDR1
How the hell is gameplay a tie?
@@cubsfan21547 I gave gameplay to RDR1 genius.
@glowinggames1561 what can't you do in rdr2 that you can do in rdr1?
You can get an off-hand holster in RDR2 without doing the mission ''Blessed are the Meek''. Just skin 2 deer and you have completed the hunter 1 challenge, go to any Trapper and claim your prize, you can do a lot of things in RDR2 without completing the story and just going around.
Those challenges are ridiculous and out of pocket
@@Smellmyballz I agree, but I don't think that skinning two deer is that egregious of a request to make.
Me who prefers John Marston:
They both are great but I started with 2 fell in love with the game and Arthur Morgan, without that game I would’ve never set foot in this world. It was my first main story rockstar game I’ve ever played
First is better right
The first game in way easier to play though multiple times it’s just more “fun” I think it does a better job of being a video game, where as the second game is a great experience it is more of a chore to play multiple playthroughs
I actually played the original after rdr2 for the very first time so going into rdr2 I didn’t have any biased sorts of feelings towards Arthur thinking ‘oh johns way better’ I also don’t have any nostalgia biases so in my honest opinion I think rdr2 is better on so many levels
Ya except no safe houses no random bandits dragging their enemy across town shooting in the air or random bandits attacking women which you can help , many interiors that were in the original game that arnt accessible in the new game , also fuckin Mexico undead nightmare, better online mounts ect…
I did the same thing as you. Played rdr2 before rdr, but I liked the first one better. Both are amazing games.
You have not played Red dead 1. Simple as that. Liar
@@Dman130everyone who play both prefers the first one. Period
@@Rubrasileiro omg get a fucking life you sad git
Gotta go with 1, I played them both within a year of them coming out but I just prefer John as a character and the story of RDR1, 2 is better graphically and the world seems more alive but the game just drags on so damn long and Arthur only gets interesting when he gets ill.
Also due to the fact that Arthur doesn't even get acknowledged in the previous game makes me wonder why Rockstar even made him a protag in the sequel, He just feels like a Fanfic character.
The problem with prequels are, well Javier makes no sense after playing 2, John seems like a different person, and certain gang members aren’t even mention ie the impact in which you have as Arthur, there is mention of it in the first game
John is so weak in the second game, first game he has so much confidence and humour and in the second game he’s like the dumbest character in the camp, acts like he’s 17 and shows no signs of the person he goes onto become.
@@CodPatrolUhm that’s kind of the point? It shows a change in John by the end of 2, mainly in the epilogue
@@EZ-FlixSeems a little too stark of a change. John in rdr 1 has different DNA, not just "more of a family man".
A prequel would be amazing I think and it would complete the story of him and John, a young Arthur learning his gunslinging we get to see him without a home we get to see Dutch and Hosea take him in and watch Arthur tackle loyalty and morals much like 2 but reverse he wouldn’t want to kill he would be young, but under Dutches leadership watch Arthur turn into a ruthless killer and one of the best gunslinger alive, it’ll be a few years back maybe we see red Harlow, tie that in, full circle
I love both games but I like RDR for gambling, soundtrack, New Austin region, Mexico, random events (duels in town, stagecoach robberies, npc getting attacked by wild animals, etc), dueling, buy safehouses, Multiplayer, Undead Nightmare
whereas I like RDR2 for Horses, environment (exploring the map and taking in the scenery), customization (outfits, hats, shaving, weapons) Weapons, Greet system, hunting and fishing. Honestly tho RDR feels more like a western compared to RDR2
both are goated imo
1 is simpler, but that makes it better!
I like both games of course RDR2 is way better and Arthur Morgan is a 100% bad ass. I am currently playing the rerelease of RDR and have recently finished RDR2, which I will go back to after I finish RDR, I agree with you, RDR 9.5/10, RDR2 solid 10/10.
Rdr1 is clear.
I love rdr2 Arthur’s character is good and the whole story is good and the way he has to redeem his elf is amazing but I like rdr1 better than the second one by a little bit but in general they are one of the best games ever created
I'm literally 2 seconds into the video but I'm going to add my opinion to the question from the title.
It's RDR2 and it's not even close. Yes the original was good but RDR2 is pretty close to a perfect game IMO. Story, gameplay versatility, character interaction.l, the game has everything in abundance and done well. There's sometimes I turned on the game and it was a fishing or hunting simulator. Other times it was a great western story driven 3rd person game. Sometimes it's a cool collect-a-thon. I could go on but I'm sure everyone here understands. It's truly a great game and honestly, if RDR3 is the exact same game in a different setting with different people I'll still love it and play it for 100's of hours.
"2 seconds into the video"
I agree with your opinion and love the points you make (I really like hunting), but the video was probably halfway through you making the comment.
nah rdr1 had way way better side missions and marston is the goat, when you first get into mexico is one of the greatest gaming moments ever and when you add in undead nightmare it's not even close that's one of the greatest zombie games in itself
Bruh, Red dead 1 is clear buddy and I say it as a huge fan of this serie.
Both games are fantastic, but I would have to give the nod to RDR1. It feels a lot more like a classic western and the gameplay and world aren’t quite as overwhelming as RDR2.
Both are really great games and easily the best video games ever created it was tough to decide which one is better but I just have to choose RDR 2. Not because of Arthur because I love him and John equally both superior and the best ever protagonists ever. But there's just something unexplainable about RDR 2 that makes it so damn good but either way both of them are gems and no other video game franchise comes close to the perfection of RDR.
Nah. Not received. Red dead 1 clear no matter your opinion
@@Rubrasileiro What are you banging on about?
@@JLOCC23424 I correct you dumbo. Red dead 1 is clear, time will prove it.
People who played RDR2 first seem to be upset that RDR1 doesn’t focus on Dutch’s gang a lot and is just John’s own story.
RDR1 Dutch Javier and Bill are dead inside, lonely and hollow shells of what they once were.
RDR1 is way more lonely and distant because it John is living the final days of being a gunslinger by himself.
RDR2 has a family feel to it but RDR1 shows that the family is gone and you are alone.
@@petermj1098 Omg you're right when you put it that way it makes so much perfect sense,but at least John stoll had Abigail and Jack.
what is the intro song
Please tell me
I love the story in red dead 2, but the realism just went too far. It’s awesome to have such a detailed game but it just makes it tedious. Red dead 1 has more of a spaghetti western anti hero themes and Arcady playstyle which I much more enjoy.
Both games' story/writing is a solid 8 imo
honestly it doesn't really matter which game is better because the horses are still dumb🤣....but seriously both of these games are great and compliment each other. some stuff in the first game is better and vice versa.
I replayed rdr1 the other day and that old dog was nostalgic af but I did catch myself thinking "i gotta jump into the new new "
Rd1 is the vice city. Movie arcade fun.
Rd2 realistic more survival GTA 5 fun.
I wouldn't enjoy red 2 if I went back at 17 year old me.
You honestly won't enjoy rd2. Tell your 22 years old or so. To enjoy the lively ecosystem.
So far rd2 real main difference is. Robing trains.
Red 3 comes out with GTA 5. Live character selection. Big whoopie doo.
Rd1 is still the more fun. Just needs a remaster. Like a halo game. New vs old... expect add a NOIR mode.

@@stevekaufmann8109no
I feel the first one is more fun to play and the story is paced much better. The second one is great for the first half but I felt the second half of the game had so much filler, it just dragged way too much for me.
First game will forever be better because of the amount of fanboys the second game has, they will mention how everything is upgraded and how brilliant Arthur is but never mention his flaws. John is 1000% more comedic than him and the first game has way more comedy than the second game, West Dickens and Irish are funnier than everybody COMBINED in the second game. Not to mention they are way better side characters than any of the poorly written camp members in 2 who hardly get screen time, look at Bill and Javier who barely get screen time because of Arthur stealing the spotlight.
Rob Wheatcliff ??
The first game have a better protagonist, a story that actually goes somewhere, WAY better side missions, better controls and feels more like a video game than the second game, that feels more like a cowboy simulator than an action-adventure video game. I feel like 99% of Red Dead Remption 2's fans never played any other video game in their entire lives. They treat every single thing in the game like it's a mindblowing new feature never done before in the history of video games.
Generally I'd say John and Arthur are equal, bias aside. All though personally due to nostalgia I like john more- Arthur, even though he has his own character and is very developed, is still used as something to further deepen John himself. Red dead redemption 2 has better Gameplay but that's entirely based off the time and the fact that these are the same Developers. Who actually have the ability to develop their own skill in terms of graphics gameplay etc. Out of the 5 categories I'm gonna go with this
Fun = RDR1 (Preference based however.)
Gameplay = RDR2 (More mechanics to use, improved mechanics at that. Horse plays really well in comparison to RDR1 and the shooting system feels more realistic.)
Story= RDR2 (As the creator stated, RDR1 is much more straight forward and RDR2 has a lot of development to enhance RDR1 At a higher level, once you put them both together then RDR1 becomes the better game, because RDR2 is a prequel that is used to develop the story of RDR1 in general.
World = (Equal. Where RDR2 lacks in terms of map and world, RDR1 is full of. Where RDR1 Lacks in terms of map and world- RDR2 Is full of.)
For most things that are objective ( don't depends of tastes) rdr2 hs more flaws but more depth and overall is better. Rdr2 is less casual ( like we can't roll in rdr2, making sense even if it's worse ( i wish we could jump like in max payne, dead eye mid air..) but our character can't stay catching a ledge as in rdr1, one of the things that were more detailed)
Rdr2 is more buggy, don't always respond well, we can take many shots just because our character decided to put his rifle on his horse and not on his back as we did then decide to take 6 seconds to take his rifle back
So rdr2 is better cause of more possibilities and depth, but has more bugs
Overall, rdr1 has a lot of better things, but rdr2 has better things too, so i say 2 but i legitimately prefere rdr1
Undead nightmare takes the cake for me!
rdr2 for sure
People complain about "rdr2 fanboys" but all I see in the comments are buthurt rdr1 fans or better description rdr2 popularity haters. The fact is if we had worldwide poll, RDR2 would own RDR and for many reasons. I played both and actually am big fan of earlier Rockstar titles(Vice City and IV are still my favorite GTA titles and I played all of them) but RDR2 gaming experience is something that will stay with me forever. First game ever to make me feel like watching a movie or TV series I really love. I actually cried during some cutscenes and immersed myself fully, something RDR never made me do. Sure, John's death is sad but it's just idk not cinematic and sudden. Arthur's last ride towards the camp before last mission with him remembering certain dialogues depending on honor level plus background music "that's the way it is" really makes it like a classic movie scene and knowing what is about to happen, I just get overly sentimental. Idk, that's just my opinion. Be real guys, just because something is popular among many types of people and children doesen't mean it's bad...
People who played RDR1 first were prepared for tragedy. People who played RDR2 were not prepared for tragedy.
Arthur is the John Wayne of Red Dead about the idealism of the West, John is the Clint Eastwood of Red Dead about the realism of the West. Arthur died idealistically while John died realistically.
Fast and furious and shitty Marvel movies are popular too.
@@petermj1098 Not really, second game hinted multiple times before actual end that it is possible for Arthur to leave that life and go with Mary etc. It was not definitive that he will die until that particular chapter when that started. (I used "that" so as not to spoil anything to anyone)
RDR2 is such a boring game for me tbh
Fr it’s boring af lol

Both are 🤍
Red dead 1 is clear
Rdr1 is gd
rdr2 for the win easily better in every aspect from graphics story acting humour emotion the messages behind it and the redemption ark for Arthur the sacrifice too saving as many as he could and then the revenge from John taking out that annoying ugly rat bag in the end to then reuniting with his family 10 out of 10 whereas rdr1 destroys number 2 in a lot of ways as well as having a raging climax until the end when Jack ends that old senile trampy blob Edgar Ross apart from that I can't praise the game it pisses me off every time only compliments I can really give besides that ending is the performance of Rob as John he is great the music action that's it not really enough for me that's why rdr2 I still love plus I am on my 14th replay on the epilogue part 2 nearly gonna destroy that snake very soon.

RDR2 is just better in almost every category with a FAR more explored protagonist. John is honestly pretty bland for the most part and not even close to being top 2 in the rdr franchise getting absolutely destroyed by arthur and dutch in all metrics of writing. Which is the most important thing to me within a story game.
He is the face of the franchise and you call him "bland".He was such a great character they downgraded him because they were afraid people wouldn't like arthur.
@@zombiekiller4313 being a face of something doesn’t give you more value. In comparison hes bland asf to Arthur and Dutch, his psyche is just weak asf. And also by them making John a scumbag in rdr2, it doesn’t hurt his character, if anything it boosts his character on a rdr1 replay with recontextualization from his history

undead nightmare makes red dead redemption 1 clear
In my opinion
Graphics rdr2
Story rdr1
Main character rdr1 BARELY
World rdr2
Side characters rdr2
Protagonist rdr1
Could write an entire essay on the flaws of RDR2, Dutch and Arthur are two excellent characters but everyone else is honestly undeveloped and uninteresting in comparison. Sadie Adler might as well be a stereotype with that ridiculous accent, girls like Mary Beth blend in with each other, there’s 3 girls in camp who look exactly like her, I don’t even know their names because they’re so poorly written.
RDR1 has Seth, West Dickens, Irish, Marshal, Reyes, De Santa, Ricketts, Ross, Bonnie. Who holds a candle to any of them? Charles doesn’t and Sadie Adler certainly does not.
What music are you using?
4:37 Rob WHO? 😂
i think he said wheatcliff?!?!
Glad I’m not the only one 😂
RDR 1 for me, it was less realistic but way more fun to play. I also wish they had gone with a new storyline and characters for RDR 2 as we knew what was going to happen to the gang and Arthur anyway and it would of been way more fresh and exciting to have a new story.
I think story wise RDR1 was way better
3:50 this is an incorrect statement. You beat that guy because youve just seen what he and Colm Odriscolls boys did to Sadie and her Husband.. that was a completely justified thing that Arthur did. At that point you are aware that Colms boys raided that house and did terrible things.
Rdr2 is better but rdr is still very good the best villain trio in the game as in Javier bill and Dutch was crazy!
Nope red dead 1 is clear
