ACodyssey, as much as I enjoyed it, is a buggy mess. It got lower scores because it's a 40 hour game spread across 60 hours due to fillers and repetitive activities. Red Dead has a much higher development value. I have not run into any bugs with the game compared to the countless in AC: Odyssey. In Odyssey they couldn't even get the live events working, and even when I managed to get the epic ship quest, it was removed from my quest log before I could even finish it locking me out of it completely. Plus the whole time I was playing it, after update 1.03 the merc system was bugged to the point that it didn't even work during my whole time of beating the campaign. On top of that it was poorly optimized, especially on PC. Origins I was able to run the game at 4k 30fps, where I could not do the same for Odyssey even though it was on the same engine. Try pulling a torch out while in a cave and watch your frames drop by 20 points. It was just a buggy mess overall. RDR2 on the other hand, though not perfect, has been a much smoother experience, better fleshed out with more variety and more systems. The graphics trump Odyssey and run at a much smoother frame rate. Now unfortunately because of the eye candy that it is, the base systems do struggle a lot more, but that would be a given because of the sub pare hardware that it has to run on. Xbox One has never been 1080p and always ran games at 900p or less. It's a given that the game struggles the most on that system. The time and quality of this game deserves a perfect score, because no game can be 100% perfect and bug free, but the amount of time this game was given, and quality that has been put into it, including the 500k plus lines of dialog and everything this games offers is why this game is scored so high compared to something like Odyssey that wasn't given the same amount of time and quality.
