I've only played a little RDR2 - which I felt was a bit too much "life sim" nonsense with all kinds of minigames (fishing, hunting, dating?, whatever) and bit heavy on lengthy cutscenes, and I've heard that RDR1 is bit more straight forward and "game-y" - Anyone care to chime in if this is true?
If it is bit more straightforward I might be interested in this - after a hefty discount.
I thought the original was far better than the second and the Undead Nightmare was a surprisingly good extension of the game. The story was better, the characters were better. Obviously the graphics were worse, I don't know if the new release updates those in a meaningful way or not.
I know RDR2 was wildly popular, but I thought it really dragged. I managed to "finish" the story and then...it just kept going, so I finally quit. I don't know how much was left, but I mostly regret not having quit much earlier.
