Red Dead Redemption 2 vs. The Witcher 3: Which Is the Better Open World Game?

Two of the vastest open worlds go head-to-head in this comparison. Two will enter, but only one can leave as the definitive open world experience.

Damn now this is a hard one. I'd say The Witcher 3 right now especially with it's amazing DLC BUT I haven't scratched the surface of RDR2 SO that could change

NecrumOddBoy2426d ago

I have put about 6-8 hours in RDR2 and I feel like I haven't done much yet. I have probably completed a total of 20 quests in general and maybe have maybe 1/15th of the map open. The game is massive. Witcher 3 is also massive and that was a 6 month game to fully absorb. I'll have to report back way down the road on this one.

UltraNova2426d ago

I've done 20+ hrs in RDR 2 and about 30+ in Witcher 3 (haven't finished it) so far I prefer the more fantasy oriented world/story of W3. Acting and general world interactivity is a no brainer really, RDR 2 is in a league of its own. Visuals, its RDR2 but that's expected from a 2018, 8 years in the making, unlimited resources developed game. Controls/combat both are... interesting, as in they could be better (some times alot better tbh) but ok once you get used to them.

darthv722426d ago

For horse physics and riding experience... RDR2 hands down.

But in regards to taking down a dragon or trying to heist a train... I'm on the fence with that one. Both can be quite satisfying.

wwinterj2425d ago

I'm in the same boat. I'm more a fan of the fantasy setting so like Witcher 3 more. However RDR 2 is definitely a close second.

Count_Bakula2425d ago (Edited 2425d ago )

I think it's Witcher too and I didn't love the game. I think it made WAY better use of their maps. Remember how littered the maps were eventually? Yeah there's awesome, interesting and creepy things to discover in RD2, but Witcher was just covered in ghost hunts, investigations and whatnot.

masterfox2426d ago (Edited 2426d ago )

lol this is not even a question, if the Witcher 3 and RD2 were released the same day, it would be Witcher 3 the instant winner for day one buy.

RDR2 looks great but in the end is just a Cowboy game.

Sm00thNinja2426d ago

This logic is so flawed on so many levels

TheColbertinator2426d ago

Masterfox discarded logic ages ago.

TheKingKratos2426d ago

RDR is far better it's not even funny

Profchaos2426d ago

And the Witcher is just a fantasy game. Apples to oranges really

Dark-soul2426d ago

i love rpg games and witcher 3 is probably most boring and shit rpg i played i last 10 years.

pietro12122426d ago

Sounds like you actually don't play a lot of RPGs or you just have poor taste.

CorndogBurglar2426d ago

I'm not a big Witcher 3 fan either. But that's because I can't stand the combat system. But I can't say it's boring and I'm not sure how anyone can. In the end it's an open world game. It's as exciting or boring as you make it lol.

Armaggedon2426d ago

You have two types of rpg fans: People who like choices and world impact, and people who like making their own characters and just interacting with the world and exploring in their own " unique" way (I.e. Bethesda games). Those who prefer the latter usually find the former to be boring. In laymans terms, some people just like hitting stuff with cool legendary weapons.

CorndogBurglar2426d ago

Yeah......and the Witcher 3 is just a fantasy game, right?

Do you think about things before saying them? Because that logic is ridiculous.

Sm00thNinja2426d ago

In the end Super Mario is just a game about a plumber that's been friendzoned by a princess with a peanut brain who gets kidnapped endlessly by a giant Alligator Snapping Turtle

Sm00thNinja2426d ago

In the end Halo is just a game about a guy with armor who hates aliens

Sm00thNinja2426d ago

In the end Spiderman is just a game about a guy who has spider powers

WillyC0092426d ago

Couldnt the same be said about the witcher? It's just a medieval fantasy game.

This logic is a lack of logic. Simply put.

2pacalypsenow2426d ago

No it's not.

RDR2 will slaughter the witcher in sales.

Clunkyd2425d ago

The only thing Witcher exceeds over RDR2 is the controls.

Don't make me choose between 2 of my favorite open world games ever

Shiken2426d ago

Well I mean the question is simple. Do you like cowboy games or fantasy RPGs? That is really all they are asking.

Shiken2425d ago

How does the guy above me have 9 agrees while I have all disagrees when we are saying the same thing? The only difference between the two is setting and gameplay preferences.

sammarshall1022425d ago

Both are of the highest quality so it would be hard to choose

Ceaser98573612426d ago

Hard one but With Witcher 3 i fell in love with the characters and story , with RED DEAD 2 i am loving the world i feel R* is wizards when it comes to Sand box games. They do excellent stuff from Characters to npc quest including random events to online and CDPR is very close to that..

bluefox7552426d ago (Edited 2426d ago )

Haven't finished rdr2 yet, and I'm enjoying it, but it didn't suck me in like Witcher 3 did.

Damn, I was hoping for an updated patch. Well let’s see if the rumors are still true, that it’s coming to Switch 2. There’s still hope……I hope

OtterX1d 3h ago (Edited 1d 3h ago )

Yea, this gathering actually sounds like a good time to reveal a remaster PS5/XBox + Switch 2 release. It could be both!

Man, I moved from the Tampa area a bit over 10 years ago, would have loved to be there for this regardless. Even if it's just a gathering of the actors. But this Fall/Holiday season does sound like a good time for a remaster.

MajorLazer22h ago(Edited 22h ago)

Remaster? It just needs a 4K60 patch, no need to remaster anything. Gta 4 needs a remaster.

dmonee1d 13h ago

Everyone just hold up a minute! 🤔 This could still be possible. Perhaps this cast member was told to hush and draw attention away from a big reveal

jznrpg1d 13h ago

He was probably told to stfu

I hope it's a remake of the 1st game. But it's probably just the PS5 version of Red Dead Redemption 2

OtterX6d ago

I hope a PS5 upgrade launches on the same day as announcement & it costs no more than $10. I already bought the Ultimate Edition once, they got good money from me.

I stopped playing completely 2 years ago until they did 60fps. I really didn't expect it would take this long & I didn't want to start completely over on PC.

GamerRN4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

I've been waiting for 60 to finish the game myself

OtterX4d ago

hopefully we'll know by the end of tomorrow! *crosses fingers*

dmonee5d ago

My wish is that its optimized for current gen machines, with some sort of story expansion. Undead nightmare 2! My 2nd wish is that it just shadow drops on the day of the announcement!.

Lionsguard5d ago

Give me my RDR2 Undead Nightmare already.

jznrpg10d ago

Sign me up. I haven’t played it since it released on PS4 so I could go for another run with a new DLC.

M3talDiamond10d ago

Day 1 but Please release a PS5 Pro patch also

repsahj10d ago (Edited 10d ago )

Please include a free Switch 2 upgrade for the switch 1 versions!
