This is a rather tough one to choose

I think these games are way too similar to be put up against each other.

Both have guns, abilities, you can ride a horse or the payload. Arthur vs McRee. Fuck this is a tough one! There are even saloons in both games!

RDR2 and it not even close i rather you put RDR2 up against TLOU2 or something of that caliber to make it a fair versus.

I haven't played RDR2 as I thought the first one was terrible so overwatch wins by default.

RDR2 is the most beautyfull, wastefully detailed gameword ever, its a game you show your non gamer friends on how far the industry has come. Overwatch is just a more defined TF2 with heroes in my book.

LMFAO! THANK YOU!
Don't get me started on all the junk wrong with that game.
An open world were you can't openly rob the banks, in a game about people who rob banks.......

For the record i just played the Story and it was a perfect game for me in that regard. I felt like Arthur. I cried, laughed and truly cared about the world and the people in it. Could R* give the player more gamplay-options? Sure, but thats allways the case in an open world. I didnt miss "free-roaming" bank robberies. I was satisfyed with the story robberies which where a climax in the story. For me, if i could rob a bank every 20 mins to grind for money, it would take all the significance out of it. I understand ur point, but this game is way to big to be shatterd just because one mechanic wasnt there.

Both games are okay, but my pick will be red dead redemption 2.
I just love single player games and Overwatch seems to be slowly dying thanks to terrible balancing.

The amount of hate RDR2 gets on here is laughable. It really is is a towering masterpiece of game design, with some of the best writing I've ever seen in a video game. There are side quests that are literally better than most games main quests. Graphically nothing else even comes close. And hell, even the soundtrack is incredible:
To top it all off, Arthur Morgan is one of the best protagonists I've ever experienced in a video game. He's just so incredibly nuanced, and has so many small moments that make you forget you're playing a video game. Take this scene for instance:
Arthur's apology is just so utterly believable and heartbreaking. And this is from a side quest. I literally missed this scene the first time I played the game, and was blown away when I discovered it randomly in my second.
Honestly, the hate comes from the people who experienced not even a tenth of what the game has to offer. They were put off by the "slow" beginning, failing to realize the game as a whole is intended to be a slow burn. And in doing so, missed out on one of the best games ever created. RDR 2 over Overwatch, hands down. I feel lucky just being alive in a time where something like RDR 2 has the chance to exist.

I'm not even a big fan of the second RDR but if you put it against Overwatch it's a no brainer. I'm surprised it's not winning by a landslide.

It’s an unfortunate matchup for Overwatch but it’s still doing pretty well. Probably would have won against most other MP games.

I'm a fairweather R* fan. Some of their games were fun, but I bounce off most of their titles. RDR was enjoyable but to be honest I had more fun (and spent more time) playing on the Undead Nightmare map.
RDR2 would be my pick, still. Overwatch just wasn't my bag, even though I can appreciate a finely-tuned class shooter. RDR2's "simulation"-ishness is actually why i enjoy it most. Kind of feels like Fable, walking into a town where you could interact with anyone in one of 400 different ways. Now obviously that's a bit of an illusion, but RDR2 puts up a more convincing illusion than other games of its type (at least the ones I've played). The sheer amount of unique dialogue and unique animations / NPC behaviors simply astounds me, and it all mostly fits together into a functioning game. The strict main missions aren't ideal. I would prefer if R* gave players the freedom to leverage the map's openness to solve tasks. However, the world they've built outside of the missions is itself worth the price of admission.

maybe a few years ago. They messed it up with new characters, and good games rely far too much on competent players communicating well. 80 percent of the matches I've played were jokes.

Red Dead Redemption 2, a game with a 28 percent finish rate on PSN...sign of a truly great game.

Overwatch was a lot more fun to play for me personally. I dunno what state the online community is for the game currently but I got a solid 18 months of play out of the game in its early years.
I appreciate the work that went into RDR2 and it's certainly a product that is well made, I just don't really find it fun to play. I was bored of the game after just a few hours and never went back to it.

As someone who has like 1.8 hours into OW, RDR2 is a better game.

OW’s peak - before character additions and rebalancing started to obliterate any semblance of competitive skill - was one of the most unique shooter experiences I’ve ever played.
RDR2 is superb in every respect except gameplay. It’s a better simulation than video game, personally.

These matches are pretty bizarre. Very happy to see RDR2 in the lead though, I was concerned thinking people would legitimately give it to OW, lmao.

I have plenty of hours in OW. I never played any of the RDR games. I'm giving my vote to RDR even thou they're completely different games.

I don't like most of the new characters so I just don't play them. But the game is still healthy, especially since they revered open queue back.

Overwatch is not bad but Red Dead Redemption 2 is a great game.
