"Rockstar Wrangles The Best Video Game Western Of All Time. With high noon duels, lawless frontiers, and gruff leading men, the Western genre seemingly has all the essential pieces to make a smooth transition into video games. But as past six-shooters like Dead Man’s Hand, Call of Juarez, Gun, and Red Dead Revolver found out, dressing your scruffy hero in a duster and giving him a revolver isn’t enough to captivate audiences accustomed to firing rocket-propelled grenades and light machine guns. For Rockstar’s first full-fledged effort in the genre (the company purchased Red Dead Revolver from Capcom), it decided to do what it does best – explore the topic at hand with an immersive open world."
RDR 1 was a great game, but the lack of screen time for some characters, boring horse riding, and lack of mission variety takes away the fun at times.
Yeah
It's as good as you remember
Feels like one of those "10 HARSH realities of Re-watching" articles
I love how it seems a extreme few remember that red dead redemption is red dead revolver 2.
red dead revolver now that is rough red dead redemption for its time was groundbreaking and it still has way better cover system/dlc/mp content then red dead 2.
I remember all the bugs the game had day one like donkey lady so dam funny
@caca
I know i said that
Oh boy let me guess no one here knows what red dead revolver is
Or you all never played version 1.0 of rdr 1 i bet its that so many on here have the stench of being in gaming for 10 years at most.
Stop pretending being superior in knowledge to everyone else..
The article title is about RDR1 and the thumbnail also confirma that. No one (at least i dont) care about what you say about RDRev.
You are the only one who spoke off topic abt another game.
If it makes you glad that you are the only one who knows what RDRev is then congratulations.. just pathetic
“ red dead revolver now that is rough red dead redemption for its time was groundbreaking and it still has way better cover system/dlc/mp content then red dead 2.”
Oh and thanks for the laugh ..
Looken
It was made by Capcom until they gave up and R* bought the IP. Hopefully one day we get a complete remake of the original to bring it in line with rest of the series along with other quality if life features. Another great is Gun very under rated
On topic:
If we are going to compare RDR to current generation games then we will surly find some stuff that's lacking but for it's time it was a masterpiece and for me it's one of the best games I have ever played. I hope it ends up on Pc where nodding community can take full advantage and make the game even better. Other than that's no it's not overrated at all. We don't even get that many western games and it's to me the best one (yes better then RDR2)
@neutralgamer1992
Really so that gaint R symbol on the box is just a myth

@all
the disagrees with actual evidence just shows how many on this site ignore truth fact.
It does but the game was made originally for ps2 back after san andreas so for the dev window and timeline it makes sense.
red dead revolver was back in 2004
https://www.gamesradar.com/...
after this they were making gta iv and a squeal that became read dead redemption
But you all will hate this because facts are scary
"Red Dead [Redemption] has been in production for six years (mainly because of horrible management/lack of direction due to fear of disrespecting Rockstar NY) and it will never get the money back in sales it cost to create for those six years," claimed another source.
From a 2010 article hmm what is 2010 - 6 hmmm
https://www.engadget.com/20...
The swimming in red dead one made sense for the time period and dev hell it was in
Again though it seems alot on here have 0 game knowledge before 2018.
Just looken
I could agree with you about the swimming part but I was swimming my ass off in San Andreas which pre dates
Either way it's not a deal breaker and the game was dope af
I liked it a bit better because I didn’t think it had many “small nitpicky” things RDR2 had that on its own meant nothing but when a lot built up it was annoying. For example getting off your horse and you had to reselect your weapons again or walking around the camp slowly. None issues but built up with others sometimes it was a little frustrating at times.
Yeeehaw! Howdy, partner! Saddle up and mosey on down to check out the best western-themed video games you can rustle up on the PS4 today.
While not on the PS4, if you want a pretty imaginative and downright fun Cowboy game you should check out Call of Juarez: Gunslinger. Not only is it a great arcade FPS in its own right but one that has some Narrative Elements that interact with the Gameplay in a pretty surprising and novel way. Something a few of the AAAAAAAA games should be looking at in order to marry the Narrative with the Gameplay better.
The best part is that you can get it for a few dollars on GOG or STEAM during their sales.
From school politics to ping-pong, pistols to police procedurals, let’s dive into the best that Rockstar has to offer.
Read Dead Redemption + Alan Wake + Slit/Second = Me Broke Tomorrow
What a stupid rating, why cant these reviewer just give the 10 for the awesome games. They have to be so extremly nitpicky!
Sucks that this didn't come out a week ago when my Hiatus was in session...Oh well three days of playing it non-stop should be enough.
Great score, I'm defenetly picking this game up.
Can't wait to pick this up!!
BTW That chick they put on the right for the Macbook adds is HOT, who is she?
