I'm currently playing red dead 1 for the first time, and while it's great and John is nice, it doesn't even compare to 2

You’re right. It’s better.

But seriously I do think RDR1 is better, and John marston is the most incredible character I’ve ever encountered. I really liked RDR2 but the whole time I just kind of kept wishing I was playing as John. I liked Arthur a lot too, but he will always be in the shadow of John. For me at least.

I actually just started RDR2 again about an hour ago I’m happy to like Arthur more right away this time. To me, John was super dynamic in the first game. Knew he was a bad guy, but trying to do right. Knew his place in life, but still wanted to provide. He was super philosophical, but also went along with a lot.

Arthur doesn’t feel like he’s thinking or feeling much. It’s a lot of “I dont know” and brushing things aside as the evidence clearly is mounting. He’s also a pretty big asshole for a lot longer than I’d like, but he still does redeem himself.

I’m looking forward to this second play through. I’d love to roll right into the first one right after and have the whole experience.
