Yes, I think that's a good way to put it. RDR2 is AAAA.

Yup. It is nice to see what devs can accomolish when they have massive resources to work with.
| Scoobes said: I'm doing exactly the same thing and I'd agree with everything you posted. I much prefer the setting of AC: Odyssey but RDR2 is just polished to a level way beyond AC that in nearly every objective way. The long load times, the semi-frequent bugs/slowdown and horse animation that looked fine in Origins that now looks clunky at best... they're all that bit more noticeable. RDR2 was not perfect and Odyssey is still a great game, but you can really see where the extra time it took to develop RDR2 went. |
Yes, you certainly can see it. I wish we had a few more games like this (in terms of mega-budget, nearly unlimited time development cycles). I imagine Rockstar will take it up yet another notch with GTA6, and that's great. But, it would be good for gaming if they weren't just competing with themselves.
