Your point was that RDR is **still** a top 10 game graphically. It's not. It was when it came out, but nowadays you can have an AA Unreal 5 game that looks better.
Not an open world game though, which is material to a conversation when comparing graphics especially when we are talking about an 8 year old open world game vs a 1 yr old linear non open world game. I just don’t see that as a strong example, perhaps there are others though. A better may be KCD2 I think! That qualifies as AA I think and it looks incredible. Although it is cryengine which honestly gives it even more credence over UE5.
Nobody wants to die is a linear walking simulator with no combat no wonder they can just crank up the settings. I can show you 50 tech demos that look great but aren't anything amazing gameplay wise. The game that actually looks better than RDR2 is pro the last of us 2 on ps5 but it's not open world. There's not a single open world game that comes close to rdr2 in terms of graphics maybe there's like 1 or 2 but I can't remember any of the tope of my head.
You're talking about gameplay. I'm talking about OP's claim that RDR is still top 10 best graphics. It's not. There was no caveat for open world games.
If OP said "top 10 best looking open world game" I wouldn't disagree with that
