What RDR1 Did Better Than RDR2
As beloved as RDR2 is, the original Red Dead Redemption did several things better — from a fully explorable Mexico to snappier combat and a thriving multiplayer.

Comparison across both games.
Notes d'enquête
- Explorable Mexico: RDR1 featured a complete, mission-filled Mexico region; in RDR2 it exists only as unfinished, glitchy out-of-bounds terrain.
- Snappier combat: RDR1's cover system and blind-firing feel more responsive and dependable than RDR2's heavier, more deliberate gunplay.
- Reactive NPCs: RDR1 NPCs limp and collapse based on where you shoot them; RDR2 NPCs keep sprinting regardless of leg shots.
- Multiplayer legacy: RDR1's multiplayer and its expansions (like Undead Nightmare) are fondly remembered.
