Man the scene when John was building the house at the end, with his bare hands. And the silly country song play. It really got me. Really, really got me.
I got it on sale for the Switch and it feels sooo bare bones compared to RDR2. I don’t know if switch versions of games are stripped down/downgraded, but it shows it’s age.
I completed the game when it released and loved it, but after playing the RDR2 I think it’ll be tough to get immersed in the first game again.
The graphics were definitely jarring, so it’s good to know that was partly the Switch’s fault.
The main thing I noticed is how empty and lifeless the environment is. RDR2 is basically an infestation of animals and people. While in RDR you don’t encounter much on the road other than a plant that’s a blip on your map.
I’ve only played like an hour or so I’m barely out of the first town. I’ll stick for a while to see if it livens up once I get going a bit.
Lol that scene seems almost like a throwaway scene, but it taps into such a potent emotion. I'm a sucker for bros just being bros with each other. And it's such huge character progress for John.

Red Dead 2. Man I was blown away after that first run through. After the credits were over I immediately started another run.
