I personally did it in the reverse order (1 then 2), but i’ll still throw in my two cents. Finished my 2nd playthrough of rdr2. Joined the club late, so have never played rdr1 you guys think playing rdr1 is worth it?
Will i be underwhelmed. Fine, i say more. Despite the number on the end red dead redemption 2 is a prequel to the first game, a direct one.
The final scenes of the epilogue are like 30 seconds before the opening scenes of red dead redemption 1. Is rdr1 worth playing after rdr2. Berserker bracers ff12 / city of adelanto planning dept.
If you're going to play rdr1 now try and go for the xbox one x version where it renders the game in 4k and eliminates all frame rate problems (and is also using the 360 assets which were better than the ps3 version). Going back to the ps3 version of rdr1 after playing rdr2 is just going to do it even more a disservice. There's still hunting but that one would be more like cowboy gta4.
The graphics are 2008 don't expect it to be spectacular but its one of rockstar best games yet. I rank it a 3. Behind san andreas and rdr2.
(i started playing it just a month before rdr2 came out due to the hype of rdr2) In my opinion you should've played rdr1 before 2, however i can see why you didn't. Regardless you should definitely play it.
Even though it's a bit on the old side, it's still good. Im a pc guy, so i never had the option play the first. Red dead redemption 2.
Playing rdr1 after rdr2 (8 years later) zafvirex 3 years ago #1. I'm surprised how well the it holds up after so many years. Playing it on x1, so the graphics are enhanced and it still looks beautiful for a 2010 game.
The character detail is especially impressive. there are some gameplay elements that feel a bit. Rdr2 and rdr1 are both exciting games to play, but there is a considerable time gap between the epilogue of both games. The events of rdr2 take place in the year 1904.
On the other hand, the events taking place in rdr1 take place in 1912. So there is a time gap of eight years between both of them. Why does it take that long for rdr1 after rdr2?
After, it will give you a better experience beacuse you know more of the backstory. After the ending of rdr2 leads right in to 1. Rdr1 john's look gives him a completely different feel.
He just looks like a badass, mean son of a bitch. I think it's the eyebrows and his eyes. In rdr2 he just looks like a clueless door at all times.
That's just during the story. The epilogue completely butchered him for no reason. I bought rdr2 in january, and i'm currently trying to platinum on ps4.
Is it worth playing online? I read here on the sub that the game has an absurd grind to achieve anything. Would a person like me who doesn't play a lot get to enjoy it?
Red dead redemption 2. Who's playing rdr1 after finishing rdr2. Oysterpuke 3 years ago #1.
I’m probably going to play the original on my ps3 after this one. Kinda pissed that you can’t play it on the ps4 (i don’t count psnow) xamdamco 3 years ago #2. I've thought about it a bit lately.
The story is worth it. Just understand that map size and graphic quality will be a major step back from rdr2 and some of the small and subtle things in experience will be missing (like unique character interactions based on previous interaction or reputation). Rdr1 is still worth playing tbh.
It is set a couple years after rdr2 i believe and carries on john’s story which i think is pretty cool as well. You should check it out. And take some time to reflect on how you’re perspective of rdr2 would be different if you had gotten rdr1 first.
It's worth playing, but i cant tear myself away from playing rdr2 over and over. 1, its the continuation of the rdr2 story and just as involving. 2, it's like rdr2 but with more reactive controls.
Well i've played rdr1 long before rdr2 but still found it better. Rdr2 is a great game aswell, especially with all the fancy mechanics, better acting and it feeling more fluently and smooth. The story and characters are great aswell.
There are a lot more detailed characters in rdr2 and you connect to them in a different, deeper way. Vamp_wraith 3 years ago #10. If you play rdr1 first you’ll be able to appreciate certain gameplay improvements in 2 and certain characters more.
But i’d recommend just playing rdr2 first since it’s better, and a prequel so playing rdr1 afterwards will feel like a natural progression, storywise. The one and only true dante. It's worth playing but be aware that it is going to be (compared to rdr2) a fairly dated experience overall.
Rockstar has learned a lot about storytelling, character development, dialogue, and narrative progression since rdr1 and it shows. I mean, rdr1 is a great game (especially for its time) and absolutely worth playing but just be aware that.
