Should I play Red dead redemption 2 before RDR 1 - at least story wise ? Which is the better experience ?

[Lannister]

Hey all,

As I`m in the mood to play western games right now and haven`t played thogh RDR1 and 2 I was thinking about starting one of those games up... and the folloowing question is on my mind....
As RDR2 is a prequel story wise i was wondering if the better experience would be to play RDR2 before RDR1 .... what do you think ?

Thanks for your recommendations,
M.

I think as far as the story goes, it makes no difference in which order you play them. I also think RDR1 is most likely quite dated. I would start with 2.

thank you.... I had hoped that rockstar would make RDR 1 for PC...... sadly I will probably have to use an emulator for RDR1

As shabby as their ports of older games have been, you might be better off using an emulator anyways.
