How does gta v story mode differ from red dead redemption?

Red Dead Redemption 2 and GTA V's story modes differ primarily in setting and narrative focus. RDR2 is a prequel to the 2010 Red Dead Redemption, set in 1899 during the dying era of the Wild West. Its protagonist, Arthur Morgan, is an outlaw in the Van der Linde gang, navigating a world transitioning from frontier violence to modern law enforcement. The game emphasizes survival in a declining era, with mechanics like honor systems and hunting, and features first- and third-person perspectives in an open world. GTA V's story mode, released in 2013, is set in a contemporary fictionalized version of Los Santos (based on Los Angeles) and follows three protagonists—Michael, Trevor, and Franklin—who engage in heists, property crime, and modern criminal enterprises. While both games are open-world action-adventures by Rockstar, RDR2 focuses on the end of an era and moral choices, whereas GTA V centers on modern crime, satire of American culture, and the interplay between its three characters. RDR2's narrative is linear with a clear climax, while GTA V's story mode allows switching between characters and includes more player-driven progression through heists and side activities.
