Did you like RDR’s music?

[TheBaconator]

All I seem to hear is how great the soundtrack for RDR was. For me though, I have always considered it dull and at times depressing. When I hear how people hope that RDR2’s soundtrack is similar I can’t help but think the opposite. What is your opinion?

The old west was depressing. It is part of the vibe and feeling. It shouldn't be cheery. I think they will keep to the same formula for RDR2. I personally enjoyed it.

Yeah I thought it was one of the best for video games in general. I have not heard of anyone not liking it before this. I hope they stick to the same formula on RDR2 man. It had a nice flow and fit each part of the story well. Specially the ending.

EXACTLY! That is part of the charm. Waking up, busting ass all day to provide for your family or yourself, going to bed. That was about it. Most people back then worked more than they relaxed.

For me it was the perfect soundtrack - calm, expansive, atmospheric. More of the same please.

This is straight gold in my book. It is something that helped the game for me, personally, get more invested in. My favorite track being "Far Away" at the 1:01:46 mark. I want more music like this in RDR2.

As a side note check out "The Assassination of Jesse James" OST by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis.

OP you are one of very, very few to say they didn't care for it. I am not saying you are wrong here, some people just have different taste in music. There were some tracks that felt dull to me but overall it was great. If I had to rate the soundtrack alone, I would give it a 7/10. With the game however, it gets a 10/10.
