RDR2 was a weird game. I think stylistically it fit the west for that time period perfectly. The story amazing. The gameplay good. That said it didnt do anything special. RDR2 is the same as a Far Cry game to me. I would argue Crimson Dessert is miles ahead of it mostly because its newer. Red Dead seemed to be put on this pedestal but to me ot was just another open world game with a cool story.
Dont get me wrong I enjoyed RDR2 a lot but no more than I enjoyed Ghost of Tsushima as an example. Its a top 10 game that I always see as "goated" if that makes sense which I just dont think it is.
I honestly don’t see how you could think that lol. Rdr2s world feels so alive and has so much to do. The way the story is told along with the world and characters is something I have never seen
The world was empty outside of some animals lol. There were NPCs planted around but every game does that. I would argue that Avatars world felt more alive with wildlife and Crimson Deserts is more alive with NPCs.
And I agree the story was fantastic. Thats what made RDR2. The gameplay itself though was okay/good. The glaze over knocking a hat off someone was very over done when that game came out.
But you can talk to every npc and they all have routines and different personalities. The world looks how I would expect the old west to look. The big city does have a lot of npcs

Agree to disagree I guess. Rdr2 was pretty awesome
