red dead redemption was slow as well, but much better paced. at the time, it seems the tech and general style of red dead redemption made a strong departure from gta iv. the gunplay was very fun in my opinion in red dead redemption. the euphoria physics engine was really fantastic. when i got gta v, it was surprising how sluggish and clunky the gameplay was. it seems they didn't keep or integrate any of the tech from red dead redemption. maybe they did, but it wasn't noticeable. gta v was faster paced, particularly the driving, than gta iv, but the gunplay was still the same old. i was worried that red dead redemption 2 would follow more in the footsteps of gta v than red dead redemption, and that seems to have been the case. the gunplay in red dead redemption 2 is noticeably sloppier and more clunky than in red dead redemption 2.

i played red dead redemption for hundreds of hours, both in single player and in the online multiplayer, which was a blast. i haven't even finished red dead redemption 2, and have found myself very bored with the story and side missions. it's the same formula rockstar has used for years, and the AI is as superficial as ever. it can be a real slog riding around between missions. even though the guns look great, they and the aiming system is not as fun as red dead redemption.
