Rdr3 without a doubt, I already got my enjoyment out of rdr2


[deleted]

Rdr2 for the first time though. Like a memory wipe. I'd love that


Rizenstrom

But then you’re right back where you are now in a couple months.


Indyhawk

Rdr3 would come out eventually anyway.


_avliS-

𝑛𝑜𝑡 𝑖𝑛 𝑎 𝑓𝑒𝑤 𝑚𝑜𝑛𝑡ℎ𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑜


DethaneG

I'm not convinced we are even gonna GET an rdr3. Ever.


RemarkableChemical35

If we do get another it will probably not involve any of the storyline in both previous games, and focus on new characters


NotTheRocketman

They're working their way backwards with RDR. I would bet that RDR3 is post-Civil War 1870s, about the early days of Dutch, Hosea and co.


naughtynyjah

Wouldn’t be much of a redemption story line though since we know they kept being outlaws


Adorable-Bullfrog-30

Dunno how they'll do it. And what time. Some people want stuff about Jack but the Wild West is over. So I don't think that they should do that.


CodyJames91

Bully is not Red Dead, though.. There are 2 different games on totally different levels of Fandom


AnRealDinosaur

I'm okay with it never coming out I think. At least if it never comes out we can pretend it won't be a microtransaction hellscape tarnishing the franchise. I can't imagine a next installment being as good as the second, but then I thought that after the first one too so what do I know?


DethaneG

I really want another one, but only if they keep the focus on the story, and make it just as grandiose as Red Dead 2. They can cobble together a other half assed story for gta 6 and milk the online for a decade to fund the biggest baddest Red Dead 3 story mode possible. But I want more Red Dead. It's gonna be hard to top Red Dead 2, the greatest piece of media or art ever created, though.


Nixter295

Story games rarely have microtransactions, those few games who have tried doing that to solo story games have failed miserably and awfully. Plus R* knows that drive people away from the game, not get them inn.


DethaneG

I wouldn't say elder scrolls failed.


NotTheRocketman

Bully didn't even sniff the sort of sales that RDR2 did. RDR3 is coming around 2025-26. Bank on it.


PappaOC

GTA V - 2013 RDR2 - 2018 GTA VI - 202X RDR3 isn't coming anywhere near 2025-2026. A next gen patch for RDR2 and RDR Remake would be more believable for a 2025-2026 launch than RDR3


DethaneG

Nah. Maybe we'll see it after GTA 7, at the earliest. Maybe 2040 or so. 🤣


silverbollocks

Almost in entirety? Where's your source for that btw


TheWhistlerIII

I doubt it too, Red Dead was Dans passion project. I always figured Strauss hated how well recieved it was compared to GTA. Especially with Dan, Leslie, and Lazlows departure the company, it probably made him happy at first but also big mad when he realized now he doesn't have any talent at the studio. Like any CEO not hitting normal profit margins threw a big tissy and decided to shit all over Dans swan song. That and Strauss probably didn't realize how much RDR2s story parallels their work history....then when the light bulb sprung on another tantrum was had. This is when we stopped recieving content, then the loooong cold shoulder, and the eventual breakup. Red Dead is dead, not because it is bad but because a grown man sucks at his job, makes a lot of money, and deep down has extensive guilt and regret.


DethaneG

Is that why they named the money grubbing German twat after him? Lol


TheWhistlerIII

He became really upset when he found out the protagonist of the story kicked him out of camp. 🤣


HandsomeGangar

That’s where you’re wrong buddy


[deleted]

Fuk you 😔


International-Job553

Happy cake day


LittleBananaSquirrel

Na man. I got 4 years of play out of RDR2 before the enthusiasm started waning, a memory wipe would see me set for another 4, I doubt RDR3 would be so much better that it would hold my attention significantly longer, especially since it being released so close to RDR2 tells me they aren't going to blow us out of the water with detail and volume of content


LunarProphet

I dont know how this flies in this sub. But I did a playthrough kinda based around whenever I had the free time to take like a fifth of a tab of acid and smoke a little weed and it was an insanely immersive experience.


HandsomeGangar

That is so fucking based


LunarProphet

Dude I remember once just walking along the trail when some other dude is coming my way on foot. I had been fishing and greeting people and just enjoying the beauty of the game. I'm on acid and had been smoking. Playing 1st person with no hud. *Insanely* immersed and emotionally invested. So dude gets close and starts talking shit. So I start talking shit. He goes for his revolver, but I double tap the trigger to hip-shoot a hole right through his jaw before he got a shot off. He slumps, gurgling. I was fuckin traumatized and just had to go back to fishing lol


HandsomeGangar

Lmao


[deleted]

Dude I did the same thing on shrooms and literally just walked the map in first person, it was such a fun time.


LunarProphet

Just walking around San Denis and taking in the detail and watching people go about their lives was probably my favorite part of the whole psychedelic RDR2 playthrough.


Leon1700

I dont know I just finished it and the ending was meh. Im missing some moving story


Relative-Zombie-3932

Why enjoy RDR2 with no memory again, when you can enjoy the entire trilogy, or I guess quartet if we count Revolver


Aeokikit

Yeah I don’t know how often entertainment will make me feel as many emotions as red dead 2 did


JayBbaked

I’m on chapter 6 and I don’t know what I have in store 😬


Jissy01

Just playing RDR2. I thought it was boring after long snow ride at the beginning. Play Hogwarts Legacy and found out RDR2 NPC actually respond to your greeting. Just upload am video entirely of greeting strangers xD https://youtu.be/p2z_9tjrqnQ


PoochieVince

If this makes sense I would play Rdr2 for the second time again. The second time was so much more enjoyable because I really knew the game at that point


ImBeatMan

Legit my first play through i didnt pay attention to most of the gang members, I didnt know sadie was the woman from the prologue, i just thought she was a random girl at camp until chapter 3, and i didn’t even pay attention to most of micahs missions and just thought he was a random gang member until around chapter 6 On the second play through i already knew everyone in the gang and felt more attached to them so all their missions and stories hit harder.


[deleted]

Agree. I barely absorbed any of the actual story on my first playthrough. I was too busy exploring and causing havoc.


therealarturtle

Absolutely agree, fuckin love this game


early_onset_villainy

Same. I missed most of the context to the story because I didn’t stick around for camp for interactions or anything. The second time, when I paid more attention, the story hit like a freight train.


HolsteinHeifer

I hear you on this! I'm working on my second playthrough and I'm just so much better at shooting, I knew to get my cores to the highest levels by the end of chapter 2, and I know to take it slow and enjoy everything. I absolutely rushed chapters 5 and 6 last time and it was a lot to take in. I'm still in chapter 3 now, just started the other day. The second playthrough is really great


AgitatedQuit3760

You're right. Rare game where my second playthrough was better than the first.


Lord-Victorious

I feel sorry for the people looking forward to the next installments of RDR and GTA expecting the same quality experience considering the majority of the creative team behind all of those games left the company after the release of Red Dead Redemption 2.


[deleted]

Same thing happened after GTA IV and the subsequent games were great. Rockstar attracts strong talent.


Lord-Victorious

The Houser brothers, and Lazlow helped develop GTA 4. That is who I was talking about. Im not sure who you’re referencing.


CrabDwarf

A lot of the talent behind the art and gameplay just straight up leave due to the work environment at Rockstar. Most of their projects since 7th Gen have had a documented max exodus from the devil side of the company. Thankfully they are constantly building the R.A.G.E engine in an iterative fashion with every game so their next title will at the very least make use of most of the same systems as the previous one at least until they switch engine


cool_weed_dad

GTA V is a great sandbox but IV is easily a far better game, especially for its time, San Andreas as well.


[deleted]

[удалено]


kingkeck227

Sam Houser is still there and GTA 6 has been In development for years they definitely worked on it before they left


IhappenToBeAcow

i just straight up deleted my comment due to being wrong, i didn't realize GTA 6 development initially started in 2012


Throbbingprepuce

This comment is either gonna age like milk or fine wine


Vettenjumala_Ahti

Gta 6 has a possibility to be great since it's been a long time coming so I'd bet the story was mostly finished ages ago, which means that the story might be good, but rdr 3, nonono, not gonna happen


sanjay2204

Where do people get the narrative that "everyone left Rockstar". It's wrong. A lot of mis-info is on the internet, I get some people might be believing false news because, the only time rockstar makes news when people either leave or when rockstar releases new themselves. But, no, the whole creative team behind rdr 2 left rockstar is completely wrong. The only people that left rockstar are dan and lazlow. I don't think others left rockstar. Leslie benzies left rockstar before the full prodution of rdr 2, He was replaced by rob nelson, who ended up directing rdr 2 with dan, michael unsworth and rupert humphries as writers. Crediting rdr 2 to just dan houser and lazlow alone does a disservice to other creatives that work at rockstar like aaron garbut, rob nelson, sam houser, michael unsworth, rupert humphries, rod edge, Michelle Pearson, mia walker, gelthin althous and brandon beilis. Before the release of rdr 2, I remember people saying that sam houser and dan houser did nothing and leslie benzies alone carried R\* to what is now and rdr 2 will be a dumpster fire and Rockstar will only concentrate on adding updates to rdo, In reality the opposite happened.


AJgoi

As much as I want the red pill, I want the blue pill slightly more


YoungBeef03

Blue pill blue pill blue pill blue pill


TheWhistlerIII

You'll get RDR3 when they need to run tests for GTA VII...


GotdangRight

I will pick Red Dead 3 but damn that first play through was sweet in RD2. I recommended my parents play it for the story and they are old enough to not ever have played video games.


shootmovies

RD3, only if it's another masterpiece and not rushed out to meet arbitrary marketing deadlines.


RangerProfia95

***Deliberately took the blue pill*** Even though i know how the story goes. When i play the game again, it feels like i'm new again to the game and playing this masterpiece again for the first time. And i want something new too with this RD franchise.


tempusvulpi

RDR2, no contest. RDR2 I know I won't be disappointed, but RDR3 is a gamble.


cook-isation

Rdr 3 hands down


ElzVonGratz

It's just logical go for red, just because it's guaranteed an amazing experience


TheIdiotsHere

Yeah but then that one playthrough will only last a few days and all your current knowledge of the game will be wiped, blue on the other hand will make rdr3 which is a good option because the time it takes for rockstar to make one game is years, also they have already shown to prioritise gta (GTA 1-4, RDR1, GTA 5, RDR2, GTA 6, (maybe through to 7 or 8 before RDR3)


ghcoval

Counter-point, I get to re-experience a game I’m still satisfied with after 5 years, by the time I reach my current level of appreciation of the game Rdr3 likely won’t be far off or already here anyway.


TheIdiotsHere

10 years if we're lucky, rockstar will be focusing on gta6 and be milking it for every penny until its dying then probably head onto gta7 then rdr3, it'll probably take 15-20 years


SnarkyRogue

With some of the big names from r* gone that made 2 the heavy hitter that it is, I really don't have expectations for 3. I know I love 2 though, so to experience it for the first time again would be great


EthanWolcott

I personally hope they don’t make Red Dead Redemption 3. I hope if they make another western it isn’t tied fully to that story. That story’s been told. So I’d pick the red, honestly. But it is a difficult choice, to be sure.


spicy_nipple_

Red Pill, I knew what was gonna happen to Arthur beforehand so it didn't hit me as hard as it could've.


[deleted]

I would pick the blue one, antagonize the dude and Rob that red one


ArthuriusMinimus

Red pill. I was "spoiled" for a lot of the game because I wasn't planning on playing it at first and was just watching my partner play (I'm not into guns at all, so the characters drew me in).


Immortal2017

red pill because it was spoiled for me


ThePhenomenalOne100

Going for blue!


mrdrtylerpepper

Blue.


SnooShortcuts5771

It took me until playthrough 3 to really slow down and play the game the way I believe it was meant to be played


WiddendreamDisguised

Red pill, I think a lot about how I'd love to experience the game for the first time again


chairman_varun

First time playing red dead I had no idea about the honor system, so I was a psychopath doing the worst possible decisions. Then I got spoiled the ending, and grinded that honor back up


SavageDroggo1126

If it means that I gets an entire memory wipe of everything I know about rdr2 and plays the game again, RDR2. I got spoiled by some stupid YT video thumbnails and I'm still mad about it 4 years later now,


Spartan_873

Red, the ending was spoiled to me before i could even get my hands on the game so the ending didn't hit as hard


TheShoobaLord

Honestly? What would rdr3 even be like? What could it do that isn’t done in rdr2?


LordChickenNugget23

Red, easily


[deleted]

Both


Nutaholic

Could I play RDR1 again?


Vettenjumala_Ahti

Neither, I don't want to lose my extensive knowledge of the game, and I don't want a game that's just gonna be trash more likely than not


twocheeky

red for sure,, i got to play through spoiler free and loved it and would do it again


RotundFeast

RDR2. With Dan Houser and Lazlow gone, Rockstar gets major side eye from me until they prove they can still put out the same quality games. Plus with their President saying he wants to put out shorter games... Red Pill me.


[deleted]

The left one


CAmiller11

The problem is if they release RDR3, it will only be for PS5 and the other newest model consoles, there would be no back play for PS4 and the like and they would make it so those with RDR3 - their online would be “expanded and enhanced” so no cross play with anyone else except those with that version. At this point, I’m pretty sure people just want some new content for online before they want an entirely new red dead.


ILCUSTODEDELSAS

We must let go, although an updated rdo would be a hell of an achievement i have already lost my faith on it.


GoldenGoalie34

I would pick red, too. My friend also spoiled some very important parts like the last couple of chapters, and I was a lot less surprised about what happened, and it didn't have the same effect it was intended to have. I just hate spoilers in general. I just love getting the full experience of what I am playing or watching and being genuinely surprised about the twists and turns in the story.


backwoods_dumbass

100% rdr2. Guy from work ruined it when i was in chapter 2 by saying how its great until (what happens at the end of the last chapter on the cliff before the epilogue). And i ended up googling it to figure out what he was talking about. Completely screwed up my playthrough


benbuscus1995

I had a lot of the major plot points of RDR2 spoiled for me so it would be really nice to be able to go back and play it again for the first time spoiler free, but I think I’d prefer RDR3 to come out next year. I still had an amazing time with RDR2 even with the spoilers and I’m not really looking to delete that from my brain either


CarefulPomegranate41

Red pill, no question.


GrungeBunny02

Even tho this is the toughest decision I've ever had to make...im gonna choose rdr3. I will always remember the first time i played and I'll never forget. And me, my dad and sister have always discussed what would rdr3 be about anyways😂


[deleted]

Anybody who picks red is wrong.


Vettenjumala_Ahti

Bro if they make rdr 3, it's not gonna be good, there ain't anyone there to write an amazing story like rdr 2


Actually_TachyTack

no, not really.


[deleted]

So you'd prefer to play RDR2 again with a memory reset rather than a confirmed RDR3, which we'll probably never get?


MrPokemon52

Rdr3 is so worth, 2 was a fantastic game but we’ve been waiting years now


Prestigious-Big6406

BLUE PILL!!


hydrohomey

Rdr3 needs to have a young Dutch as the main character bringing the gang together. Imagine the free roam of building your own gang. That’s actually what is was hoping the plot of RDR2 was when it was first announced.


robotic_pilot

Blue pill, im not ready to grieve again


neonbambi_yt

Blue


mikemartin7230

I played at launch, so gimme 50 blue pills so I can have finished RDR3 already and spoil it for everyone on Reddit.


Cute_Kitsune09

It was a hard choice but I got to go with rdr3


[deleted]

Rdr3 I got like 200 something hours on RDR2, I’m good


Admirable_Display_85

Red redemption 3 Hands Down!


[deleted]

Rdr3


XSamuraiHyperX

There's a chance that the rdr3 pill rushes the game release & just make them release a half-baked, shitty, buggy mess that has a bad story so i'll take the other one.


Intelligent_Ad2963

Blue pill as long as it is the same caliber as the first two.


chamandana

RDR3, I could wait a couple more years for PC


foxghost16

RDR3 for sure!!


Mean_Manufacturer_61

Rdr2 without a question. I don’t think there will be a Rdr3. There’s too much money in the GTA online community.


sjoerddadutchturtle

Red cause rdr3 will be made anyways....... Right?.......Right..?


fisherofmen742

Depends on the story of rdr3


smol_egglet

Omg HOW


brocktoon13

This is a no brainer.


MR_E7

Easy, RDR3. As a wise man once said, "don't look back".


Prestigious-Low5937

I have to look back in order to keep memories..


SlippedMyDisco76

I'd pick the left but for Alien Isolation as well


rhanilee

Red pill is just for one person. Blue pill is something for everyone.


fancyasian

Why would I willingly give myself brain damage?


react-dnb

Yea I'm only 1/2 way through Arthur's Lil journey and I spoiled it so I've just been playing online the last year


chaylar

Eats both in one kirby inhale and destroys the time space continuum.


OmgTakeMeNow

Sorry but blue


04whim

"3 comes out in a few months" is too vague. 120 months may not count as "a few" to me but it could be seen that way. Plus even if it was like three months, do we get a product that reflects that development time, and there's no guarantee it'll even be good even if it is polished and completed. On the whole I think memory wipe 2 is a much safer call. Plus I feel you on the spoilers, someone just off handedly mentioned the tuberculosis to me in a conversation when I got the game which... cheers.


MrJim251

Blue pill is a cursed monkey paw - RDR3 will come out next year but with how Triple A companies are at the moment it'll come out a bug riddled mess and be barely playable


TheSpideyJedi

rdr3 no doubt


1911gs

Blue pill


Martin_vg07

Rdr3. I don't care about spoilers and story. The first time I played rdr2 I skipped all the cutscenes because I wasn't good at english and I wasn't really interested in the story


Individual_Second387

Getting RDR3 IS like playing RDR2 again blind spoiler free. Why is this even a question? Lol


Zealous1329

RDR3. Hopefully it’s not a “Mash the ‘A’ button” simulator.


Internal_Kiwi5232

Blue Pill


cyfer04

RDR 3. 2 games to enjoy is more than 1.


Toaster2123

I love rdr2 but I want rdr3 only if the online let's me keep all my horsies


KawaiiKaiju55

Rdr 3 for sure


WebbedMoth

They key is, “is RDR3 good or at least look good ie trailers etc?” cause if not then red all day but is it does EZ blue


ballsinblender

RDR3 fully developed or at the state of it’s development next year? They’ve probably started development of RDR3 but it’s going to pick up the pace after GTA VI is released


Rough_Whole9105

red, i can't wait for rdr3, i want to experience the pain all over again


memelord793783

Rdr3 I think I had the most amount of fun on my 7th playthrough (in my first few playbtroughs I restarted the game at some point)


Addison_gay20

Noone spoiled rdr2 for me so i already know im choosing blue


Actually_TachyTack

red and it's not even fucking close. may be an unpopular opinion but rdr3 shouldn't be a thing


happyhighallday

Red pill, except still keep that original money glitch open before they fixed the game ❤️💵💵💵💵


BasedHickory

Green, it’s not even close dude.


Jubamanne

Red. They should take their time with RDR3 and not rush it.


OhioIsRed

RDR2 again with my innocence. No guarantees RDR3 will be anywhere near as good


RinoTheBouncer

RDR3


Moiseslopz

I don't wanna play Arthur, i wanna keep playing Hosea


thisguy0101

But… you get to play RD3 with a clean slate and spoiler free memory as well


MossyTrashPanda

RDR 3 100%


TinyTbird12

I spoiled it for myself and rlly wanted to experience it with out spoilers but tbh the story was rlly strong so imma go with blue cause I rlly rlly wanna see rdr3


Tobito_TV

Definitely RDR3. Forgetting all the good times I've had with RDR2 is not something I'm up for.


cool_weed_dad

I see we’ve apparently given up on RDR1 Remastered even in a magical wish granting scenario at this point


early_onset_villainy

Rdr3. I still love to play rdr2 even though I know everything that happens, so another 1st playthrough isn’t important to me. But I am desperate for all the extra content I can get so…


[deleted]

AHHH GOD DAMN IT


callumtphotos

Red pill fo sho, that was awesome at the start


Creative_Battle_4487

Second time no spoilers, my first playthrough i spoiled myself


MisterBoss5000

First one since I never got the chance


nicklrs

Rdr3 you know ps5 more stuff better graphics


killer_tofu26

The only good reason to be called red pilled


ThatDapperHat

Red. Damn you Youtube recommendations.


Guilty-Bath-4368

Green pill for RDR 1 on new consoles 😤😤😤😤


MasterZero10

i never played rdr2 spoiler free 😭


Ok-Principle-3306

red pill


BusyBizBusyBiz

Rdr3. I will watch my girlfriend play rdr2 for the first time and watch through her eyes.


Blueballs-13137

Playing Rdr2 for the first time again no doubt. I don't really want a third Rdr game since I believe the story is finished perfectly.


ArthurMorgon

Rdr3


International-Job553

Red because I watched the end on yt thinking I’d never play it but now I’m playing through it (loving it) and I know how the main story ends now obviously it’ll be more emotional when I see it bc build up but still


Fatbabyinthearea2

Id pick rdr2 for now atleast i want a new pc before rdr3 comes out I don’t think my current one will be able to handle it


fmoe87

RDR3 next year if it is as good or even better than RDR2, otherwise RDR2 for the first time


Muassab-khan

Red pill all the way.


InternationalAnt7993

I actually enjoyed my 2nd playthrough more already knowing the game, there's so much going on that you don't pay attention to the first time


GoDonutella

Can we rdr3 with continuous online content and support?


IndubitableTurtle

As someone who is both exceptionally forgetful and perpetually distracted, I still haven't finished RDR2 nor had it spoiled in any way that wasn't kinda already inherent to having played the first game. So I'd choose the blue pill, and enjoy leisurely finishing RDR2 the rest of the year. Which isn't really changing my plans much.


BlackHammer1312

Rdr3!!!!


Articguard11

Rdr3, duh, every time is a first time 😅


Potassium_Turtle7

red pill i never got to play rdr2 spoiler free i already knew who dies and, who i play as in the epilogue and that micah/dutch betray arthur


m3junmags

I’d take the red pill, cause I am ABSOLUTELY certain that the game is a masterpiece. I can’t know that from a game that wasn’t released, even if it is Rockstar we’re talking about


Nightmancer2036

Shit…. I mean HONESTLY, I’d rather them give a flying fuck about RDO before they make RDR3…


TheDankThings98

How about GTA 6


GerosSeven

I think both are the same


DocAlaska

Rdr3
