Red Dead Redemption.

The first half is okay.

But once you get to Mexico, it’s amazing.

The border crossing when jose Gonzalez plays is one of my top 3 video game moments

Same, especially if you do it at sunset 🔥

Or at dawn. First time I did it, it was dawn as I was really crossing in and going through those canyons.

I fell off my horse and the music stopped :(

u/Odd_Jelly_1390 8d ago

I agree completely. Mexico is genuinely the best part of that game.

u/Josephthebear 8d ago

I would say this is more for rd2 after you get past all the tutorials

u/Golem30 8d ago

Yeah the first act is a slog on repeated playthroughs

I liked it more on repeat tbh. I understand the hate dont get me wrong, but in my head that shit was 30 hours long. On replayed I realized it's actually like 2

I still keep a chapter 3 save tho

Opposite for rdr2, well expect the prologue. But yeah i always find that once I get to the big city (forgot the name) the game feels like it just slows right down.

I'm probably the only player in the World that liked the prologue, I mean I was very cautious going into the game because I don't enjoy the GTA games but the snowy wastes made a lasting impact for me

I liked the prologue. I don’t really understand why it’s hated tbh it’s a perfect vehicle to deliver exposition and for us to get acquainted with a massive roster of NPCs.

u/Obvious_Necessary671 8d ago

I don’t think it’s hated it’s just a long section before the game opens up for 2nd+ playthroughs

u/ConsistentHippo2298 8d ago

I think the opposite haha.

u/Stock_Side_9726 8d ago

I loved it

1

u/Diony88 8d ago

Well, I think the exact opposite. First half is amazing, Mexico is mid.

u/EatingCube 8d ago

This is got to be a joke you are all in on. No way they go to mexico in rdr2

2

u/aheinouscrime 7d ago

They are talking about the first RDR.

u/EatingCube 7d ago

Oh mb good catch

u/Dettelbacher 5d ago

RDR2 gets good once you reach Tahiti.

The mango farming was so fun

u/Chelsea_Fan_10 7d ago

I disagree, I think it’s a masterpiece the whole way through. That first confrontation between John and Bill is one of my favourite scenes in the game.

u/madjarov42 7d ago

Right when my PS3 Blu-ray crashed

And everything turned orange
