Red Dead Redemption PC port will cost almost as much as a brand-new game - upcoming port for this 14-year-old game isn't cheap. (www.pcgamesn.com)

It isn't that the gunplay is slow and clunky, I like all kinds of shooters from operation harsh doorstep to xonotic to cod mobile to easy red 2.. I like shooters pretty much however they come, but I would barely quantify red dead as a shooter.

To say the gunplay is weak, shallow and poorly integrated with level design is an understatement and I think is a shame because otherwise red dead 1 and 2 are phenomenal games.

Read dead's gunplay is actually gun play from 90's arcade shooters, without the fun of holding a gun and stepping on a paddle to get into cover.

now that you mention it though wow an arcade read dead with a light gun and paddle for cover that replayed intense missions from the game would probably work really good actually...

I think I get what you mean. It simply doesn't control well outside of deadeye mode where you stop time and effectively pick your shots out in first person with a laser pointer.

It's classic GTA lackluster gunplay. Point your character in the general direction of the enemy, then spam the fire button until the bad guy falls down.
