A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

It’s a great game and I’m so glad I finally got to play it.

I’m running a RTX 2070 Super and a Ryzen 5 3600 with 32 gigs of RAM. Using Xenia-Canary I could run the game at 1080p with decent framerate, but that caused some really unpleasant brightness issues at night, so I stuck with 720p and honestly stopped noticing the low resolution after a while. The game ran at a stable 60 all the way to the end and I encountered absolutely no issues besides some flickering shadows once or twice.

If you have a decent gaming PC and have never played the original RDR I strongly recommend you try this. It can be a bit of a faff to find what emulator settings work for you, but once you get it working properly, it’s an absolute blast. RDR still holds up really well in my opinion.

I wonder if emulating the Switch version makes it more accesible to most players.

I hear it's better graphically. I'm considering trying it out, despite having played it on my Xbox 360 just a couple years ago, just to see how it is.

I'm not going to pay for the Switch version though, because I think Rockstar is being really scummy with this rollout (charging full release price for a simple port 10+ years after release, and no PC port, improvements, etc). So I guess I'll go sail the seven seas to give it a try so I can decide if it's worth recommending to friends.
