I have the extremely unpopular opinion that COJ Gunslinger is the best of all of them, but I'm okay with that.

 

[StateofMajora]

I went with the og red dead redemption.

Not played call of juarez.

 

[jshackles]

The Game

I'd play it

 

[Catphish]

[DaleinCalgary]

I liked the first RDR better than the 2nd.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

For a second I thought a hotel made a cheesy game.

 

[graywolf323]

I have a soft spot for Gun from the 360 launch so I'll throw it a vote, I know the RDR games are gonna dominate the poll

 

[AJUMP23]

Red dead redemption 1 or 2. I voted 2. But I cut my teeth on Oregon trail.

 

[Hinedorf]

Desperados 3 - fantastic western tactics game, would say the best is RDR2 but certainly deserves to be on the list

 

[Havoc2049]

A fun to play hidden gem in this genre is the FPS, Darkwatch, for the PS2, XB and PC. The game takes place in Southeast Arizona, near Tombstone, and combines the old west with vampires and the undead. Good times.

 

[AMSCD]

Lucasart's Outlaws

 

[Excess]

Oooofff that takes me back. We used to play it in computer class on Apple II computers with floppy disks, the ones that were actually floppy.

 

[tpieman2029]

Another vote for Oregon Trail

 

[Y0ssarian]

Fallout New Vegas

 

[Raven117]

I liked the first RDR better than the 2nd.

As did I. Don’t get me wrong, 2 is great…. But there were certain vibes in 2 that just didn’t quite match up with the old school westerns.

rdr, was dead on accurate

 

[Dream-Knife]

N/a

 

[pramod]

Wild Guns

 

[TheStam]

Gun.Smoke on the NES

 

[Wonko_C]

Sunset Riders. The others I've never heard of.

 

[Fugitive Sex]

Aren't these all American games? Please be more specific with your thread title.

 

[kingpotato]

Oooofff that takes me back. We used to play it in computer class on Apple II computers with floppy disks, the ones that were actually floppy.

Me too!!

 

[GymWolf]

Simulation, rdr2.

Arcade fun, juarez gunslinger.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Desperados 3

Go buy it gaf.

 

[Bkdk]

sorry read title wrong

 

[Bernd Lauert]

>no Desperados in the poll

I am disappoint.

 

[waquzy]

The original RDR is easily the best western game of all time. RDR2 is more modern

 

[Ballthyrm]

You could also list Fallout new Vegas.
West of Loathing for the fantastic graphics.
SteamWorld Dig 2 is a pretty good metroidvania.

 

[Sybrix]

 

[Flabagast]

Even if I voted for it, I would say that Red Dead 2 nearly non qualifies as a western. Like others said, it's very modern in a sense, with much more focus on nature and so on

 

[TidusYuna]

Aren't these all American games?

I've found a loophole.

The best game is Wild Arms.

 

[mansoor1980]

rdr2

 

[Shubh_C63]

Make a new poll and ask for SECOND Best Western game because this Poll is useless.

 

[SirTerry-T]

No Custer's Revenge, OP????

 

[I Love Rock 'n' Roll]

It should be either Pong, Pitfall, Mortal Kombat II, NBA Jam TE, Sim City 2000, Giant, Deux EX, Quake, Flasback, Dune 1 and 2, Witcher 3, Worms, Wipe Out 3, Lemmings, Myst, Alladin. Modern games are way to embarassing with their stories and tech issues.

 

[emilyjohnson]

Western games are propelled vigorously by the cowpoke media that has preceded them. Over in TV land, there's any semblance of Westworld and Deadwood while film gives it a shot with works of art of the class including Unforgiven, The Magnificent Seven, and The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.

Any reasonable person would agree that the modest Western is a foundation of American culture. The game studios that choose to assume the test of bringing the American Frontier into our lives have a great deal of strain to take care of business. Fortunately, various of them have totally nailed what being a rancher is about. Furthermore, luckily for you, we've accomplished the difficult work of corralling the varmints here.

 

[Mr Hyde]

Gun Smoke. What a classic!

 

[AJUMP23]

Desperados 3

Go buy it gaf.

I also think it is on Game Pass

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

Easily gunslinger, it captures everything people actually like in western popular culture.

 

[R6Rider]

Voted Red Dead Revolver

Whacky characters, lots of duels, and some fun multiplayer.

 

[existensmaximum]

Easily RDR 1, by a wide margin for me.

 

[JCK75]

Where is Custers Revenge?

 

[Vaelka]

Other.

None because they all suck.

 

[Alexios]

Blood Bros. or Sunset Riders

 

[Bankai]

SUNSET RIDERS!

 

[Stuart360]

Really surprised RDR2 is beating the first game so heavily. You barely hear anyone say anything negative about the first RDR, while you hear alot of mixed views with RDR2.

 

[Neff]

Level 2 of Tiny Toons: Buster Busts Loose

 

[OceanicWaterHorse]

"Can you hear me, Marshall?"

 

[Naked Lunch]

Sunset Riders (arcade version) is the best western videogame, no contest.
"Bury me with my..........money".

Second is probably Red Dead Revolver, which is ten times the game Redemption is. Redemption is the only videogame to put me to sleep (on multiple occasions no less) - with its boring piss poor gameplay.

 

[Evil Calvin]

I like Holiday Inn better than Best Western
