With the news that the Red Dead remaster was shelved by Rockstar, I finally bit the bullet and got the game set up on an emulator. It's the only way I'm ever going to get to experience it now as a PC gamer.
I've long wanted to play the game obviously and having finally gotten the opportunity, it's kind of crazy how good it is. It lived up to every expectation I had of it. The writing, characters, scenery, music, atmosphere, rock-solid gameplay and controls - everything is so good. I can't even imagine what it was like to play this game in 2010.
Also, as someone who has only played the first three or four chapters of Red Dead 2 without really getting deep into it, it's really made me see that game in a different light, and I'm now able to appreciate the improvements and the greatness of the series as whole a lot more. And the story of course. Its weird how the first game acts like the sequel had already come out. Looking forward to a proper Red Dead 2 playthrough now and seeing all the areas from the first game.
It's also insane to think Rockstar brought Red Dead out the same year as GTA IV's DLC was wrapping up, and just a year before LA Noire.
I always felt like I was really missing out by not getting to play this, and I totally was. I feel like my whole life as a gamer has been a lie. What a series Red Dead is, man.
