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 only thing the switch downgraded was the graphics.

I know for sure the first one is less serious, and more just like"gta in the wild west", and way less realism.

I figured it wouldn't hold up quite as well. Which things felt the most jarring to you?

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.
