God of War is shorter so probably that one

Yeah definitely, if you start with RDR2 you might never play God of War. Plus the sequel is out soon

The Sequel may be out soon but not on PC so OP won't be able to enjoy that for a while sadly.

Gow 1st as its shorter and more action packed, rdr2 is amazing for chilling with and taking your time exploring

Lifesuxsometimes13 t1_iu43lxi wrote on October 28, 2022 at 12:26 PM

Ive never played gow however when you play rdr2 avoid spoilers at all costs. One spoiler could ruin the whole feeling the game achieves perfectly.

Also ı forgot to ask. Do I need to play previous games before these?

Adrenaline_Junkie_ t1_iu3y933 wrote on October 28, 2022 at 11:35 AM

Rdr2 takes place before rdr1. Lol

There is a specific moment in Gow that feels awesome if you played the previous games, but it's just a single moment, other than that there's no real need to know the rest to enjoy the game.

You don't need to, but there are certain moments in God of War, or things the characters say/hint at, that you will have more appreciation for if you've played the previous entries. But in general, watching a story recap video of the previous games would probably be enough.

For RDR2, not at all. It's a prequel to RDR1 so whilst there are characters that you would recognize if you'd played the first one, it won't affect your enjoyment of the game at all imo.

Nah God of war is basically a reboot and RDR2 is already a prequel to the first game. So either way you’re good.

Red dead redemption 2

Beanholey t1_iu4gbzb wrote on October 28, 2022 at 2:07 PM

Maybe start with God of war, you can easily get lost in red dead and play for hundreds of hours (in a very enjoyable way)

roachdajoint t1_iu4t1eo wrote on October 28, 2022 at 3:34 PM

RDR2 first!

ScottCraigDempsey t1_iu4t2gt wrote on October 28, 2022 at 3:34 PM

Get the snow area at the beginning of RDR2 over with as quick as possible, then you can enjoy it.

WolfLover104 t1_iu4vzmj wrote on October 28, 2022 at 3:54 PM

God of war it’s more quick to complete and more fast and after you can try rdr2 both are awesome games

Available-Student-25 t1_iu53eyq wrote on October 28, 2022 at 4:43 PM

Rdr2 is my favorite game so far, but i'd start with good of war. Rdr2 is a game you should take your time enjoying it

God of war red dead will take your life for a while ......best advice I can give for read dead, is just live it don't rush your play tru explore the world .

GOW first. And then you have as much time as you need to enjoy RDR 2 and all it’s bounties. (Pardon the pun)

I have not played RDR2 but i have played God of War. Loved every minute

Uneak13 t1_iu8751u wrote on October 29, 2022 at 9:00 AM

Though I enjoy both games very much I would say go for RDR2. I'm not much of a cowboy guy but the RDR games are amazing. Some of the best stories, lots of fun to play, can be funny and sad. It has everything in my opinion. But as I said before, I also enjoyed GoW alot, also a good story and good gameplay. In my opinion you get more content for the money on RDR2.

IWHDIFF t1_iu4nbaa wrote on October 28, 2022 at 2:55 PM

RDR2. God Of War is very cinematic and pretty but the gameplay is mediocre at best.

blackscienceman9 t1_iu84d2d wrote on October 29, 2022 at 8:18 AM

Interestingly I felt the exact opposite way. I found RDR2's gameplay to be a bit clunky, but the story and cinematics were unbelievable.

Still I would say the 2 games I enjoyed the most probably

LetsGoChamp19 t1_iu3wxct wrote on October 28, 2022 at 11:21 AM

Save the best for last and play RDR2 first

Going from GOW fast and intense gameplay to RDR2’s slow and clunky gameplay will feel like a massive step down if you play GOW first

BillzB89 t1_iu3x7a5 wrote on October 28, 2022 at 11:24 AM

Both great games but RDR2 is quite possibly the best game ever made, don't put it down like that.

OP play GoW first because it's shorter.

RDR2 will take you ages to finish completely.

LetsGoChamp19 t1_iu3y1y3 wrote on October 28, 2022 at 11:33 AM

That’s wildly overrating a flawed game. GOW could also be placed among the best games ever made as well

I’m just giving my experience. I played RDR2 straight after GOW, and going from intense and varied gameplay with tons of combat and enemy variety, to slow shootouts that play out the same every time just felt lacklustre

Mylynes t1_iu424q5 wrote on October 28, 2022 at 12:13 PM

Who would’ve known that being a cowboy on Earth during the 1800’s is a lot different than being a Greek God living in a magical norse forest. The games each represent their settings perfectly.

Why would you even play RDR2 expecting to feel like a God of war?? You’re a human gangster outlaw making your way through the country. It sounds like you just aren’t very tasteful (only enjoy big flashy explosions and nonstop thrills)

LetsGoChamp19 t1_iu452oc wrote on October 28, 2022 at 12:39 PM

When did I ever say I expect them to be similar games? When did I say they didn’t represent their settings? You’re either making stuff up or have terrible reading comprehension

I finally get these two beautiful. One of them is gift and one fo them is I afford it. Which one I should play first? I'll play on PC. Open to any advice btw.
