I'd say so.
RDR2 is a more "impressive tech feat". RDR1 has some of that video gameyness that delivers a more consistently fun experience.
Not having to watch John slowly open cabinets and pick up bodies to individually check their pockets for 70% of total gameplay is a plus in my book.
Both are pretty well written. I'd say RDR2 is the better movie, though.

The fact we didn't get Undead Nightmare 2 because Red Dead Online only generated $400 million/year is criminal.

The gameplay is actually fun and the multiplayer doesnt exist solely to push microtransactions.

It's better as a game and has better missions, pacing, and story.
2 has better characters, writing, graphics/animations, and attention to detail. But it drags on and has zero mission variety.

I played RDR2 first and then went back to play RDR1 one afterwards. They're more or less the same game. Ride your horse to the objective, click on the bad guys' heads. Both have terrific stories that keep you wanting to play longer into the night just to see what happens next.
RDR1 just feels more empty. There's not any real incentive to explore the open world. I remember coming across an abandoned town and wanted to explore thinking I'd find something cool like a gold bar or some sort of environmental story telling but there was just nothing. RDR2 has those magic moments where you come across something in the open world just by exploring and it sets you down a 30 minute rabbit hole that results in a special item or a mindblowing piece of lore.
I will say, that playing RDR2 first, I did appreciate how lonely RDR1 felt. Your wife and kid are taken from you, your gang has long since broken up and departed. The quiet nights riding your horse through empty desert makes you miss the gang and the comradery you used to share.
On a gameplay level, RDR1 is just RDR2 with less features. I like that you don't have to cook food or brush your horse or clean your guns. But it doesn't have the same fleshed out world, or attention to detail, or lovable NPCs that the second one does.

no, rdr1 is just a standard gta game, go to random wacky npc, do a few missions, never see this charater again as you move onto the next wacky npc to do meaningless busywork for.
repeat like 8-11 times

yes simply because there's no dumb gang shit. rdr2 is only a fun game for one chapter. rdr1 is a fun game for the whole game, and you get undead nightmare.

2 is bogged down by realism. 1 is just GTA Wild West.

its a billion times more fun, so for most people yes, but there is definitely an audience for the lifesim elements of 2 that means a lot of people think its better

Technically no, but RDR 2 has such an absurd amount of needless and boring parts that 1 becomes better by the simple fact of not being filled with filler and unnecessary animations.

It's a Rockslop game. Just hollow open world with movie references.

The appeal of RDR1 for me is the fact that its world feels alive and immersive while still being a fun and ridiculous video game. For example, despite MacFarlane Ranch being a major starting safeplace in the story, you're free to climb buildings and shoot people in the face. In RDR2, you can't even fucking run in the camp. 2 misinterpreted 1's uncommon but memorable "cinematic" moments (arrival to Mexico, the ending) in the story as being the entire game.

it's better as an actual video game. the sequel is overfilled with meters to maintain and i'm still pissed they ruined their own game with tedious survival bullshit

makes you wonder just how bad GTAVI will be compared to RDR2 or GTAV.

Neither RDR1 or 2 have "hollow" worlds especially compared to all the other open world slop out there now

yeah in the first one there's some coyotes sometimes, or a wild plant you can sell for like a dollar, or once in a while there's a bird. what more could you want?
