Without a doubt,Red Dead Redemption 2is one of Rockstar’s most popular and successful games to date. It’s one of the highest reviewed games in recent years and has been a monumental addition to Game Pass,PS Plus Extra, and more in that same time span. Part of the reason it works so well is because of how emotionally charged it is and how much it connects with the originalRed Dead.
Both games are great, but each are great for different reasons. Redditor TXNOGG, knowing this, asked the community what it thinks the first game did better than the sequel. It seems, in a short time, manyRed Dead Redemption 2fans had something to say.

Some of the answers aren’t so surprising, with many praisingRed Dead Redemption’s Undead Nightmare DLC. It was incredibly popular at launch, but for one reason or another, Rockstar doesn’t seem keen on making anUndead Nightmare 2 forRDR2. Some of the answers came down to small details or mechanics, like the ability to wear ponchos, radiant-style missions that made RDR1 feel alive such as bounties, nightwatch, cattle herding, and horse breaking, and combat executions.
Others would toss on a few other key details, like ambient music, Liar’s Dice, how John acts when he’s drunk, going toMexico inRed Dead, and much, much more. Some also shared how they understood what features like a fame meter weren’t inRed Dead Redemption 2,due to its particular story, and how the specific western vibe to each game impacted some of its most beloved moments.
Either way, the Reddit thread is filled with insightful comments aboutRed Dead Redemption 1features missing fromRed Dead Redemption 2.If Rockstar Games ever proceeds with a proper threequel inRed Dead Redemption 3, which it should wheneverGrand Theft Auto 6fully releases, then perhaps the company could look at some of these beloved features and toss them in with the new ones too.
There are also constant rumors about aRed Dead Redemption 1remaster or remake, although none have ever proven themselves to be true. Still, ifRed Dead Redemption 1was remade with the sheer attention to detail thatRed Dead Redemption 2features, alongside all of these wonderful gameplay elements, it seems clear that anRDR1 Remakecould be yet another runaway success for Rockstar. Of course, whether that happens or not is up in the air.
Red Dead Redemption 2is available now for PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One.
