What did Red Dead do differently?
Why do people love RDR2 despite being a story heavy game and hate TLOU2?

Because the characters are decent in RDR2. People might pretend it's because LOU2 has trannies in it, but at the end of the day it's because the characters are all absolute pieces of shit.
Sebastian Mitchell
R* bias. RDR is trash too.
Nolan Walker
because one has trannies in it and the other doesn't
Logan Morris
Because RDR 2's story didn't take priority over gameplay.
Ayden Allen
Even complete stans for the game like 39daph say the game is like a 6/10 at best and can't understand the reviewers that gave it a 10/10.
Says she feels nothing for these characters, while she did in the first game.
Story is just bad bro.
Leo Gray
You are such a fucking idiot for asking that question, OP.
Nolan Reed
shut up fat
James Jenkins
when will it be finally cracked?
Isaiah White
because red dead 2 ends with a satisfying conclusion, and was well plotted throughout.
Lucas Davis
Because open world and non-linearity means players can spend hours between cutscenes and rail roaded missions. It also has a lot of attention to detail and from what I've seen, is the best cowboy game you can get.
Elijah Sullivan
Because the story was fun, had likeable characters, and even had a far more satisfying revenge plot.
In TLOU2 you go on a rampage of random civilians and then pussy out in the last second.
Here you grab a dude, single handedly destroy his entire gang and then you unload your revolver on him, fuck all this "hurr revenge just leaves you hollow" crap.
Chase Wilson
rdr2 had a revenge/comeuppance plot that wasn't fucking retarded
Noah Brooks
It has heart.
Levi Cook
Because "slow game" sounds better than "movie game".
Yes, at least is open-word... but had bad controls (Rockstar said that was "on purpose" and a lot people buy it) and the story contradicts some of the gameplay, like always happens when you're trying to choke the player with your "story".
Oliver Cook
It didn’t, RDR2 sucked too
Daniel Johnson
RDR2 has the illusion of being a truly open world game when in reality it's really quite linear
Carter Fisher
What's funny is that Rockstar made, in their first attempt, a better, longer and bigger movie game than Naughty Dog, plus it's an open world game and there's actual interesting stuff to find.
I have no idea what's Naughty Dog's appeal anymore.
Benjamin Sanders
Because Arthur Morgan wouldn’t refuse a steak Sam I had just because the butcher said something that conflicted with his own set of values. Or worse pretend that this olive branch of courtesy was somehow beneath him
Brayden Stewart
RDR2 is centrist (and not in the annoying way) and TLOU2 is Weimar tier post modern trash.
Dylan Brooks
c'mon man don't be coy, you know why
Angel Gutierrez
There's leftist stuff in RDR2, but it's more like bread crumps to keep the SJWs off their back.
Hudson Nelson
By your standards what game isn't? Inb4 New Vegas, fuck that answer.
Tyler Foster
Well RDR2 allows at least some player agency, even if only outside of most mission segments. It also has a satisfying story that was tailor made to compliment the plot of the first game, rather than having just about nothing to do with it.
Nathan Thompson
OK.
'Story' is a bad term. There's 'plot', there's 'narrative', there's 'exposition' and 'characters'.
For the most part, people don't care about PLOT. Fuck plot, honestly. It's mainly a vehicle to drive themes and CHARACTERS.
RDR2 has good characters, TLoU2 doesn't.
Same with Death Stranding. The exposition explaining the plot SUCKS in that game, the exposition detailing the narrative through gameplay and how it ties into stuff outside the game (the feeling of isolation, exploration, Kojima himself, etc.) is pretty great.
Whereas in TLoU2, the 'violence bad' exposition doesn't just conflict with the plot, it's extremely obvious and tiresome. Do you really need to be told that violence is bad?
Nolan Jones
Its has an autistic level of realism in its world, great music and above all well developed characters. This is what people loved. However if some characters motives in the game and the story progress were better, and the gameplay wasnt an extremely linear shooting gallery, then we would have had a masterpiece in our hands. Now we only have just a good game with a great protagonist
Zachary Rivera
Also Cowboys and gunfights. It speaks to the little boy in all of us user.
Justin Diaz
There right stuff too, it's balanced. Most importantly it's not anti white, which TLOU2 is.
Lucas Hall
This is true. It's a common fantasy. I don't think anyone fantasizes about being an angry lesbian on a revenge quest that ends in premature ejaculation.
James Howard
They killed my man crush and then tried to make me like the person who did it
Good thing I hate trans people and identify with the cult so it didn't work. Ellie deserved to live and enjoy life but fucking trannies don't
Joshua Ortiz
It's not a Sony exclusive
That's literally it
Noah Williams
People are suckers for redemption stories, they resonate a lot since everyone makes mistakes and have regrets, plus Arthur is a very human protagonist which is kinda rare.
Henry Wright
make me able to tie someone to my horse and run the horse off of a cliff.
James Nguyen
it has good GAMEPLAY
a very important characteristic in a GAME
Daniel Rogers
Nothing
The same people who like this are the same casual movie game loving consoomers
Juan Kelly
RDR1's protagonist was already killed in RDR1
