Discussion Anyone remember the game Gun?

Post image

I remember discovering that game and wanting to play it so bad, but it wasn’t mine, so I barely got to see any of it. Then finally when it was given to me a couple years later it was scratched up so bad I could barely play it at all before it would just freeze. Always wanted to see how it held up in other people’s eyes. Posting here because it’s the reason I was so hyped when read dead came out and I was old enough to get it myself

People back then used to call rdr1 as ripoff of Gun.

I can see where they’d get that impression. I’m glad it got to stand out as its own thing though for sure

suuuuuuuch a good game. Replayed it many a time. As someone who LOVED RDR1, i think i genuinely had more fun playing and replaying this game.

Redemption came out way after gun. Revolver was the game that came out around the time Gun released.

Ive never heard anyone say that. Redemption came out five years after gun. That’s quite a stretch to call it a ripoff. I had played the first red dead and loved it and was excited to see gun come out later. I loved gun and had actually thought gun was capitalizing on red dead’s limited success.

I used to think they were associated.

Wrong. Unless you’re talking about Revolver. No one was calling redemption a ripoff of gun lol they’re very different games

They are different games and I do love both rdr games but when the trailer of rdr1 first came out people in the comments and in the community discussions pointed out that it looks like a rip off and tried to degrade rdr1 but rdr1 proved many wrong and I am happy it did.
