    Game has a good graphic side, but story is too extended. For me it became not interesing playing after 40 hours of literally doing nothing, because main story cant give u anything interesting in the begining and in the middle of the game. Open world is good, but it is not a gta where u could take someones car and ride to ur mission or other activity, no, traveling in this game is megaGame has a good graphic side, but story is too extended.

    This game is dreadful really. I've given it a point for being pretty but the game play is some of the most tedious I've experienced and even having forced myself to restart it after a year and play through a solid 20 hours, I can find absolutely zero fun in this game.

    WTF. You need to be online to run Campain - major problem on Steam Deck.
    And using two launchers, Steam and Rockstar Games is disgusting. Not only takes data to Rockstar, but also takes A LOT OF TIME to run the game. There is no problem when you ran version from the internet.

    rdr2 maybe the most overrated game of all time. I loved rdr1 and bought xbox one for it. but rdr2 is not a game, it's a cowboy simulation. and a very good simulation but not a game. there's no fun in it.

    The good :
    - western atmosphere
    - large map - graphics - dialogues The bad : - low resolution textures - bad optimization : a few stutters at 4k with a RTX 4090 and a 13900K ! - mission failed if you go too far from the "allowed" area The awful : - "woke" propaganda : feminism and anti-racism are omnipresent and no choice is allowed in these missions. Fed up with this sh*t.

    A praised game by the subsidized press, which in fact is not up to par with the Rockstar reputation. A great disappointment.

    It's so broken you can't literally play it, because you need connection to the social club that is blocked for some reason.

    2. They spent too much time on launchers that's why game is ALWAYS starting in windowed mode. You also can't change it in the setting from windowed to fullscreen, like, there is a button, it doesn't work. I spent a couple of hours and finally found the way to do it, you need to change Resolution without changing the mode and then magically, the mode will be set to fullscreen by itself, till the restart of the game
    3. Controls and interface... I can write a doctor thesis on that one, but I will be short. They created it for consoles and gamepad, they did nothing to adjust it to pc players, nothing. It is as painful as trying to it cactus. Activate - E, take - P, take something else - TAB, interact - hold right mouse button and then press something else on a keyboard, etc. The list is indefinite. The same goes to interface and navigation in it, you can try to use mouse there, but god protect you from touching any button in the process including the mouse wheel, it will forget immediately about mouse input and will switch to something

    The game looks atmospheric, a bit too much cutscenes and a bit too slow character with huge inertia, like I am controlling a huge ball and not a person with legs, a bit too much enemies and too easy shooting but it could be a good experience IF IT WAS PROPERLY SET UP FOR PC GAMING

    To be honest, I CAN NOT wholeheartedly recommend this expensive AAA game for a few reasons:
    1. Still terrible optimization (7/7/2021): Unstable and low FPS for RTX 2070 & i7-9700k (by the way, the graphic still looks like ♥♥♥♥).
    2. Crappy and clumsy moment (i.g walking speed and picking the thing up) 3. Confusing control. Not just countless complicated control layouts but also ​I am

    2. Crappy and clumsy moment (i.g walking speed and picking the thing up)
    3. Confusing control. Not just countless complicated control layouts but also ​I am surprised a game can be both over hand-holding and confusing at the same time.
    4. Inconsistent control: For instance, pointing a gun at someone's face and talking to them is the same button, especially worse when it repeatedly flicking different actions for the same button within a second.

    It's an over-hyped game overall, I would suggest you first pirate the game/borrow this game from a friend just to see the gameplay or how it runs on your computer, then buy it at the discount price.

    I will come back and edit my review if I change my mind.

    I lost my horse because of a ridiculous bug, it was literally the best horse in the game you could acquire and now there's no way of me getting it back. Im sick of this game and I have lost all my desire to play it. I wouldn't recommend it.

    Seemed fun but I lost internet and now there's nothing I can do to get into the game to play the single player. Hotspoting didn't work, I've been trying everything for the last hour and this is completely unnecessary. This is all to avoid piracy, but I should have just pirated the game to begin with.

    An absorbing tale that will test your machine and tear ducts. A game that did not suffer from being brought to PC. RDR2 is worth overcoming all the shortcomings, since it is one of the best games of the decade. [Issue#300]

    My biggest warning to anyone considering purchasing RDR2 on PC is that you need to have patience when you set it up. Take the time to go through each graphics option, compare your performance on Vulkan vs. DirectX 12, and tailor the game to your specs. Once you have the game tuned, there’s no better way to experience it than on PC.
