2 is a prequel to 1. I would start with 1 though.

Hogwarts is a beautiful game, graphically. I never played it, my wife never finished it and everyone else complains about the story.

The RDR franchise may be the best "Story Mode" i ever played. Ever.

RDR2's open world is visually stunning. If you love the great outdoors, you can get lost in RDR2 for hours simply riding around horseback, hunting and picking flowers. I use to jump onto RDR2 just to play the card games in the saloons, haha.

Yeah, if you haven't played a Red Dead game, you just gotta go that route. RDR2 is obviously gonna be more impressive to look at, and has the online component. The story is great in both, but the 1st one is the 1st one, ya know? (And i know it's not technically the 1st as Red Dead Revolver exists too)

RDR1's story was just so freakin' good. Iconic.

RDR2's story was no slouch either, it was damn good in it's own right.

I do wonder though how the experience would differ if you played 2 first.

Some of the lore would be lost on you, there are a ton of callbacks.

Do any of you guys care about "trophy hunting" or 100% games or is that just there and don't really care.

Coming to PC in late July! Woot I can't wait, first Returnal now Ratchet!

You beat Returnal?

I've never played any game worrying about trophies or achievements.

I'll do it if they come naturally or it's a game I really enjoy.

Yes :)

Same, that came along with the Xbox generation. I've been gaming a lot longer than that.

I normally never care, but if I play a long term game then I care. Or if I really like the game. The only games where I have all the trophies on playstation for a platinum trophy are Smite, Path of Exile and Hades.

Couldn't care less about trophy hunting.

My grandparents were completionists though. Couldn't play freakin' Mario Bros or Donkey Kong w/o collecting literally every coin. They were completionist GODS.

It was a ****ing nightmare for my 6 year old self to play with them though. Im tryna race through the level as fast as i can and they're all like, "No you gotta go back and get that coin!"

**** YO COINS!

Never gave two shits about trophies until I played God of War 4. I beat the game and just naturally ended up at nearly 100% completion. It was weird. I ended up getting to 100% just to say that I did.

Haven’t given a shit about it since.

I think I mentioned that I recently replayed GTA V and have Red Dead 2 is on my list. I couldn’t imagine trying to 100% a game like that.

2 is a prequel to 1 so start there.
