Thanks for the insight!

Not really a fan of GTA games, so... dunno if RDR is my kinda game to begin with. I do find westerns interesting at least.

I've played the original 2 GTA games way back when, didn't much care for the arcade chaos. 3 and Vice city were so-so, and... GTA4...

GTA4 felt like bowling with cousin Roman more than a GTA game

Ended up quitting GTA4 during tutorialization :D

It had me going to some inane date with some lady, when I was driving her home I apparently goofed, bumped something with my car and long story short: I died by police gunfire in a minigolf track's pond. Then game said I had to go do the date again. NOPE.

The only thing that's like GTA are the publisher and the controls/movement. I've played all the GTA games and it's a totally different vibe.

I’ll agree that RDR is different in a many ways, it’s still Rockstar so some of the gameplay is similar but a lot more fun with the western vibe over the city. And while I enjoyed some of the GTA games, none of them come close to RDR1 in my opinion. I just brought GTA up because I saw the same life sim crap creeping in there around GTA4 like I did RDR2
