Horizon Forbidden West and Red Dead Redemption 2 are both stellar games, and their approaches to the open-world format are markedly different.
Small price increase in the UK
You could afford video games if you stopped commenting asinine comments here and got a job instead of stealing.

Buy them when they are on sale. We just shouldn't be surprised anymore by prices hikes and or new games costing more. Simply speak with your wallets if you want these companies to pay attention. That's the only language they understand
The vast majority of the games that I buy are never at retail, always on sale. And usually it'll have to be a good sale too. At least 40% off. All this talk of increasing game prices rolls off my back.
I don’t live in the UK and this makes no sense whatsoever. These games have been out for years shouldn’t they be going down?!? That’s not how you attract new players.
I think this is a very apt statement. Game publishers appear increasingly to view their IP like books, music, and cinema---evergreen content that can be reprinted throughout its lifespan (until it enters the public domain). It's actually very reasonable.
So this is how it works now? Old games get a price increase? This sh*t is completely getting out of hand now.
Red Dead Redemption 2 could be excellent on Nintendo Switch 2, but it's pointless without bringing Red Dead Online along for the ride.
Not just RDR Online, but also cross save progress. I'm not starting over w my nearly 200 hours of the online. I will however consider picking it up again if I can have a purely portable version of it.
Lol, people really don't want me to continue my enjoyment of the online I see. 🤷♂️
I find it relaxing, living off the land, hunting/fishing. I'd legit play it again portable if I had it available in continuation of my progress. Not asking for others to enjoy it too.
Take-Two announced its financial results for the fiscal year 2025, also sharing an update on the sales of GTA5 and Red Dead Redemption 2.
The anticipation for GTA6 has reached fever pitch, with the latest trailer being the biggest video launch of all time.
Milk...get your milk...and so much more. Really when you release the same games in three editions over 15 years it's amazing how much money, and the amount of sales you earn. It's amazing how no one can compete.
To be fair, no many companies could release the same game over and over. They've earned that whether we agree or not
GTA v isn't the only game that's released three consoles generations running but nothing has sold those numbers including GTA San Andreas which is now 4 console generations deep.
No surprising considering that it’s been on every major platform and store.
I decided to look up the longest and most sold games list. To my surprise Tetris has takes the top spot.
Both games have amazing graphics but one is actually fun to play.
It is an honor for Horizon that its world is being compared to RDR2.
Forbidden West leaves RDR2 for dead and its not boring
RDR 2’s world is more dynamic than the one present in Horizon Forbidden West. NPC behaviour and interactions in RDR 2 are more dynamic too. But you have to keep in mind the worlds of the two games are designed for differing levels of interactions.
I think it is better to compare HFW to more AC like games or Farcry, particularly Farcry Primal to be exact. These games do have more focus on combat and such (which can be quite fun) and looks insanely beautiful.
Nevertheless, interm of insane details, how grounded/interactive the world are (has actual physicality that enable ones to really play around with it surrounding), and surprising randomness elements of encounters as you explore, it cant be compare to games like RDR2, Skyrim, or BOW, not by a long shot.
Games that really put emphasis on pure exploration, surprising random encounters, or provide trully interactive environment (a true sandbox), are quite rare. Most open world games just looks pretty, but you just cant interact with it by any means. Perhaps, that weren't their focus anyway, so cant really compare them in that case.
