Anyone Hate GTAIV But Love RDR? Or is RDR as Bad?

Curious as I've always been afraid to touch a R* game after GTA IV

As good as GTA IV was, it lacked so much of the fun factor of GTA SA

Did RDR follow that curse or was RDR more like GTA?

The shooting was really fun. Past that... meh.

I found both GTAIV and RDR fun.

I found it MORE boring.SaltyMeatballs

I felt incredibly bored with GTA IV-- U have everywhere to go but u just dont want to move because nothing is of interest. If RDR is really that way then damn, what happened R*? :cry:

yeah its pretty boring, i cruised through the campaign and never played it again. la noire is alot better

Am I one of the few who didnt find it boring :(

Please don't listen to this guy. L.A. Noire is one of the most boring games I've played in a while. I've gotten pretty far into it and just can't force myself to finish it.

I didn't like GTA IV because it was frustrating to play , but I liked RDR enough to finish it. It's solid.

I can't stand and of the Grand Theft Auto series yet I loved Red Dead Redemption. The writing was fabulous while the gunplay and mechanics for the game fit much better within the setting. It is not however a goofy game and if you are looking for a game to derp derp derp around in then I wouldn't pick Red Dead.

No. I like GTA IV, and RDR, while not nearly as fun, is ok. It gets waaaay too much praise, though. And GTA IV gets way too much hate.

I'm selling RDR. The story is trying as hard as it can to not progress the story. And the gameplay isn't as fun, and the open world isn't as interesting. :cry: I'm trying so hard to like it.

GTAIV is all kinds of terrible. RDR is much the same.

I wasn't really amazed by either. Rockstar has good characters but they can't tell a decent story, and the gameplay, especially in RDR's case, was either repetitive or simply boring.

I thought GTAIV and RDR were both ridiculously boring.

I definitely didn't Hate GTA IV, but I was disappointed with it. It was still a great game though.

But yes, I did enjoy RDR quite a bit more. There was a lot more to do on the side along with story missions, I enjoyed the countryside a lot (though I like having both City and Country), the gunplay was better than GTA IV(though obviously was nothing compared to say Uncharted or Gears). The multiplayer is a ton of fun with friends, and had a wayyy better setup as far as competitive goes. There were things to spend the money on (Properties, and weapons, etc.). Being able to change the angle of the aiming reticle was a plus as well, and it controlled quite a bit better than GTA IV.

Overall RDR was better, but I still liked GTA IV quite a bit as well.

People that don't like RDR are City Slickers :P

Liked them both, though I'd say at present I liked RDR more. That might change if/when I go back and play IV again though.

I like RDR just a bit more.

I didn't really like either, but dragging a nun onto the train tracks in RDR was amusing:P

I hated GTA4 and loved RDR but I'm a pretty big western fan.

I think Rockstar refined the core gameplay and added depth to the story and characters in an attempt to appeal to the truly mature audiences GTA should be made fo instead of the teenage Scarface fans, and so it gets a lot of hate from people who like having lots to do, even if none of it is well done or balanced or fun.

Just a guess though. Also GTA IV is probably the best GTA in my opinion so I may be biased.

GTAIV was disappointing IMO, while RDR was refreshing.

I thought RDR was awesome. It was far better than GTA4. Marston was a great character, Niko just sucked. HoolaHoopMan

It's so weird seeing you say that because I have the same name.

Rockstar has not really blown me away this Gen.

I vastly prefered GTA IV. RD:R put me out.

RDR was good but it had little to no fun factor compared to pre-GTA4 games. At least in GTA4 if you wanted to go on a killing spree you would get FBI, Army, Helicopters after you. In RDR its just the same simple enemies and provide no challenge at all to kill. My friend and I were playing it once and got up on top of a building and held off the police for over an hour with hardly an effort. We used to do that on GTA4 and it would actually be fun.

Rockstar seems like they are now more interested in making movies but don't really know how so they just make games instead

I take it you didn't know the wild west didn't have any helicopters or tanks?

RDR was amazing, can't say I know about GTA4 as I haven't played it.
