    Здравствуйте.
    С детства восхищаюсь вашим творчеством, за это отдельное спасибо.

Именно, баллистика , стрельба из оружия.  В вашей последней игре про дикий запад великолепная техническая проработка мира, разрушаемость, графика и прочее. Но, почему, пожалуйста,    Здравствуйте.

    Стреляю по деревянному дому, по дверям, по мебельным крышкам, по бочкам, тазикам и не могу получить пробитие предметов.
    Извините, но если пуля не может пробить деревянную дверцу, то как она может оторвать персонажу ногу????
    Как это понимать? 
    В общем, удовольствия от стрельбы никакого. 
    Пуля-это сильный разрушитель, а в ваших играх пуля только "стены красит"    … Expand

    One of my favorite games of all time, yeah it had horrible launch, but this user score is idiotically low. That's why i like steam, on steam users scores are actually up-to-date and change. Here they are just stagnated forever and i bet if come back to here in November 2021, this score is still under 6/10. Lmao.

    So why only 8/10? (I considered a 7 for what it's worth)
    The controls are very clunky and old fashioned, the gameplay loop is also very antiquated and repetitious, the same things over and over again dressed up slightly differently to appear different, but they aren't. This might have gotten a pass but the game is too long and dragged out in my opinion. At least one chapter could have been culled or, less missions in each chapter. I've replayed red dead one and still think about it, I don't think I'll ever replay this.

    Lastly Rockstar for all their huge budgets and pushing graphics and some systems forward really need to address their tired gameplay gameplay and antiquated controls, realism isn't always better at the detriment of fun. But they won't, they make too much money as is, why rock the boat.

    It's still a good game but not a great one.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Мне понравилась игра от и до. Даже езда на лошади с пункта А в пункт Б может быть весьма интересна своими красивыми видами с почти ультра настройками и ещё быть разбавленной некоторыми событиями, происходящими вокруг: то кому-то помощь нужна, то кого-то конь копытами убьет :D, то где-то на тебя баран или какой-нибудь олень)) нападет. И это интересно. И вот эти фишки не для всех. Некоторым подавай быстрые перемещения, но здесь игра про реализм и я по истине поражался, когда мой конь погадил под себя, а мои члены банды спокойненько попёрдывают :D. А когда я кинул в дом коктейлем Молотова и он сгорел - это было нечто). В игре много фишек и интересностей и даже для особых задротов добавили разных животных, оружие, травы, охоту и т.д., чтобы было чем занять игрока, а для тех кому просто понравилась игра, то им не обязательно прямо все до 100% закрывать. В общем и целом эта игра потрясающая (после Ведьмака 3, конечно) и в моем рейтинге самых лучших игр всех времен стоит на 2 строчке.… Expand

These are criminals doing criminal acts but we are constantly presented with the idea that these people and the main character are actually good people, what? We've seen this since at leastJust got this, now that I can actually own it, and it's not what I expected but still a great game. It's certainly story rich but like others have said very double minded main character and gang. These are criminals doing criminal acts but we are constantly presented with the idea that these people and the main character are actually good people, what? We've seen this since at least Asphalt Jungle, making the bad guys to be good by checkerboard kabbalistic-masonic satanic principles. Another aspect is that "it takes a village" witchcraft communism in full bloom. Such nice family of criminals, sure. It's not real or honest, criminals have some positive aspects but they are overwhelmingly evil in real life regardless of braying bribed or ignorant crowds in elite cases. Let's just have either overwhelmingly bad or good, this ambiguous kabbalistic in between is devious. Dislikes first.
    ---Another aspect I did not like was the sim chores of taking care of your character and his horse, guns etc I can see the GTA San Andreas influence here, along with some GTAV. It detracts from the gameplay and is not fun for me, thankfully there are trainers that can negate all this stuff for those not into the grind.
    ---The controls take a bit of getting used to and I didn't like the whole gun storage aspect, if I equip a handgun and some sort of long gun I want those to be available anytime, I don't want them to be put onto the horse so I have to remember to get them. In battle it's annoying to find that I don't have the weapon I want because the character put it on the horse and didn't automatically take it again when I got off!
    ---The camera is ok most of the time but really gets in the way in battle, and the character controls get way too laggy slow when trying to get out of dodge. This is also true of horse controls which are not too good, too sim for me. AC odyssey got them right and TW3 did ok as well, but this game isn't nearly as good there. I feel like the matching trot never truly works and was always fighting with it. Give me a toggle one button medium trot and a further button for full speed, no tapping!!
    ---Character walk and run are pretty slow but that's kinda the way it is, it's an adjustment going from fast cars and automatic weapons from GTAV to this.
    ---The default graphics colors are washed out and there is no gamma adjustment only brightness, so it's either washed out or too dark. Who wants to risk screwing up a 117gb install for reshades? Happened for me with a seemingly simple GTA4 reshade which forced me to reinstall, but no way risking it on a game that takes 3hrs to install. More built in reshading/color options should have been included.
    ---Graphics settings options are way too much but I'd rather have that then only presets. PLEASE we want adaptive vsync!!! This makes another huge game, AC Odyssey run smooth for me on mid range laptop 980m. Not an option in this game, nor does ncp have it. Apart from that it runs well and I can get it looking decent at med/low settings in 1080p, .75 scale, around 50 fps average on vulkan win7. Although it's amazing how awesome theHunter COW looks so much better with much more details and higher settings 60fps vsync on the same system!
    ---Getting to that I wasn't hugely interested in the hunting/fishing aspects of this game either, if you really want an awesome hunting game get theHunter COW which is amazingly beautiful and has several maps that make up 200 sq miles of playable areas. Much prettier game and more focused.
    --I played using a gamepad and I think that's the way to go, kbm would be a chore.
    ---The star of all this to me is the open world old west gameplay which is a rarity on pc. I love the exploring aspects, the random events, just the ability to go anywhere and camp and a decent if vulgar main story missions mixed in. The world is pretty for sure and full of mystery.
    ---MODDING really makes this game shine, thankfully RS made this game like GTAV which makes replaying missions and even perhaps new modder made mission packs a possibility. Look at Skyrim, Fallouts, etc and the longevity they have by loving modders, excellent. That makes gaming a true joy really.    … Expand

Horseback travel means you explore the map intimately and that forced R* to absolutely cram the world with detail, personality, and variety. They have succeeded without reservation (and gone beyond) here. The environments aren't quite as characterful and emotively charged to me as, say, Mexico in RDR1. But there's no question RDR2's world is bigger, better and realer. Saint Denis slums, the swamps of LeMoyne and Annesburg are all very special creations.

    Which brings me onto the next thing RDR2 can boast of: immersion. R* pulled out all the stops here, and there are many strings to RDR2's bow to talk about:
    The environments really let the developers work their magic to create a real sensation that these are living breathing places that developed without you and will continue without you. You don't feel like every bit of the game is built as a playground. I can't begin to fathom the sheer number of lines of dialogue in this game because I'm pretty sure I'm a way off from hearing them all.
    While the variety of audio samples is also incredibly impressive, it does make the lack of musical audio cues look pretty poor in contrast. You will hear the same guitar twangs again and again...

    After RDR1, I was expecting one or two vocal numbers for emotive effect. They were there, but didn't hit the spot. I'm not sure that was achievable given that RDR1's own take on it felt ground-breaking at the time.
    The wildlife and NPCs: incredible, not much to say here. At least on PC - I'm not sure how dense and varied these are on console. Take a look at the credits for a huge list of facial scans. AI is pretty deep too.

    Finally: the characters. They're not the best I've seen, by a long shot. But they are well above industry standards and the side characters especially do their job well as being interesting and unique. The voice acting has its weak spots but is generally top quality.

    Which brings me onto the negatives: the main cast is very hard for me to identify with. I like Arthur, but playing as him is a frustrating experience when his actions seem to contradict his motivations so often. The game tries to explain this away with loyalty and it doesn't really work when we have no reason to feel loyal. It also doesn't work in the way it does for The Last of Us, where we hate what we're seeing but we're gripped by the experience. It's just an awkward along-for-the-ride experience for me.
    Likewise, the story. Where is the incentivising event that pushes us forwards through the story? Where is the villainous menace of RDR1 creating tension? Instead we have a guy, living his life while random things happen with alarming frequency that cause him to leap into action***.
    There are some good storylines here, but they're undeveloped subplots.
    Highlights include: Mrs Edith Downes and the plight of the Indians. The latter is criminally underexplored and probably should have been the main plot of the game rather than the crummy "who's-the-baddy?" plot we got.

    Don't get me wrong, I've loved games with far worse plots than this. Far worse casts, etc.
    The problem is that RDR2 commits the cardinal sin of video games: it forgets to be fun.
    In fact, it does worse than "forget"; it actively thwarts your attempts to have fun with oppressive regularity. Almost every(!) mission consists of a long opening horse ride, because pacing be damned and every innovation in videogame storytelling has been lost on the developers here. Even then, if you dare to slightly deviate off track, the camera and horse will often be yanked back towards the path the game insists you take. At that point it's just a movie where you're forced to hold the W key.
    Even outside of missions, the game engine is so scared you'll abuse its freedoms that it won't let you turn freely.

    The shooting mechanics are more fun here than on console, but it's still a fast-paced game that demands single-shot precision in a contradictory way, forcing an over-reliance on slo-mo for most players, hurting pacing yet again.

    The very last mission is suitably the final nail in the coffin here. If you shoot a sniper before the game wants you to, he's invincible. If you follow a character before the audio prompt, you'll get shot by said sniper.

    Conclusion: Masterpiece lacking fun.    … Expand

The cowboy simulator aspect is superficial and redundant since it is not required in order to survive or progress the story. On a more positive note the game is gorgeous - perhaps the best looking game of the generation - and the care and attention to detail must be praised. Characters, scenario, and overall immersion are above and beyond anything I have played in a long time ; but when it is all said and done, I have found that for all of its greatest aspects, it was never enough in redeeming the mediocrity, boredom, and tedium I had to endure in order to reach the end credits.… Expand

    OH man, I put so much into this game at first. I was mentally "RPing" every step of the way, and taking my time in the world. The problem was, the game began to stop me from acting on my natural instinct, constantly making me do specific pre-defined paths (flanking is not an option sometimes). There isn't a "true" obstacle that makes your plan fail, the game simply ends the encounter. ThisOH man, I put so much into this game at first. I was mentally "RPing" every step of the way, and taking my time in the world. The problem was, the game began to stop me from acting on my natural instinct, constantly making me do specific pre-defined paths (flanking is not an option sometimes). There isn't a "true" obstacle that makes your plan fail, the game simply ends the encounter. This design may seem old fashioned, but I remember the missions in GTA 1-3 having more freedom.

    There are other moments where despite being in a dangerous situation, escaping from the law, heist, or burning building, when the character will walk inexplicably. It absolutely takes the pace to a grinding halt.

    The graphics, the audio, they feel right, but the world feels like Disneyland. Tons of the open world quests are not well tuned. Example - I found an NPC in the world that creates a kind of mini-quest. We had to sneak up and hunt some animal that had stolen something from them or something. His lines were saying "there he is, ok, lets sneak up on him.." something to that effect... and though I'm crouched and sneaking this NPC is just walking normally in front of me toward the prey. This was a random quest late game in the mountain area.

    The mini-game button mashing is extremely false feeling. It doesn't feel like youre "really" doing that activity when youre holding R2 and spamming X or whatever it is.

    You will use your in-game money to purchase weapons, customize them, set up your loadout, etc, and go to a mission, and then the mission begins and you suddenly are completely regeared, and you arent with your horse. Just the default pistol with no rifle or shotgun... I dont understand why this would ever be done.

    The best part of this, and I am being totally serious, is Red Dead Online Poker. I have played a LOT of online video poker games, and this is one of the most immersive and fun pvp poker games i've played no joke. Its awesome that you are your character, and your winnings are going toward your RP journey.. its kind of awesome honestly, Ive made a bunch of money to buy **** in RDO thru the poker haha...

    Im truly EXHAUSTED by the story, and when you finish a mission you will often be at a point really far from your next mission spot... you can fast travel, it takes a minute to crouch and set up camp, and often it will say "cannot fast travel with activities nearby" but I don't see anything on my radar... It happens so much that I dont even bother taking the time to get off my horse, crouch, camp, etc (it takes a while and says 'activities nearby' about 75% of the time). I spend so much time riding horses across spaces...

    Overall the story arc is also badly paced. I dont want to spoil anything, but just as the game is coming to a climax not only in plot points but in characters, where they are kind of at each others' throats, then you spend a LONG final act in a side story... it should have been incorporated into the main story FAR earlier, and the side story been its own climax instead of something tacked onto the end. I dont look forward to the famously boring epilogue, and I feel dead inside trying to finish and then I'm in a situation stuck walking, or I fail a section because I try to be slightly creative with my approach... I have to give a rating based on what the studio should be able to accomplish. We shouldn't be easy on one of the most profit making companies in the business. Lets be honest about the quality of the narrative, the (lack of)novelty of the systems, the cover combat that was new in 2006 (gears of war).

    Graphics cant carry a game, graphics naturally get better, we cant clap our hands everytime it gets shinier and give it 10/10... cmon. When you see the user rating vs critic rating, you wonder do they even play games?... not a single mixed review? Nobody thought it felt weird to steal $6,000 in government bonds and then walk casually out of the building, like youre just casually walking out of a Saloon? Or did anyone else run into that "activities nearby" issue where you cannot fast travel? What about failing a mission because you decided to go around the side of a building instead of the main street? The extremely linear missions are anachronistic alongside their open world... what a missed opportunity!    … Expand

    - The game story is so good that i never skipped any cutscene, and character development is really good
    - Really like the protagonist Arthur Morgan (for me, he is the best video game protagonist for now) as he develop from rude and jerk to somewhat nice but still a jerk at times
    - The realism in this game is so awesome. I know some people hates the slow pacing in this game such as grabbing something has animation for it but i really enjoy those thing, giving me some sense of immersion
    - The world is so beautiful and well crafted i enjoy it by exploring the entire world and something unexpected may happen sometimes that keeps the game more engaging to play
    But of course, i giving this game 9 for a reason
    - The opimization for pc is sooo baaaad, before the patch running this game in vulkan always crashing my game
    - The epilogue area is somewhat more empty and got nothing to do than the rest of the world

    A beautiful open world, fantastic array of characters, lovely textures, sounds and about as realistic a game can get today. The story is also pretty good, but towards the end everything becomes so negative, unlike any other game I've played, it just leaves a bad taste which is sad. It's interesting because I've always wondered why not have negative/bad endings in movies, but I realize now that it's just better if it's positive. I also need to comment on Arthur, perhaps the worst choice in gaming I can think of. Irritating, negative and sick old man with no sense of humor, I cannot understand how that choice came about as it would be good idea to actually like the main character as you play him for hours upon hours. He is simply depressing to be.

    Nonetheless it's no lower than 8/10 for an amazing experience as a cowboy outlaw.
    Btw, there was absolutely no bugs when I played it now, so it's pretty sad that over 1000 negative ratings here are simply because of the bugs in the start, which now have ceased to exist, making the average score pointless..    … Expand

You have no idea or sense about your skills, health, energy or ammo level. You have to figure out this by yourself within different menus.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game could be awesome, but instead it's a clusterf**k. The law enforcement system has the law show up so quickly you are penalized for playing an outlaw. You can't really rob anyone unless it's a gang mission, your gang missions send your bounty through the roof...oh yeah, and you can't actually win a gunfight with bounty hunters or lawmen until you are at least 20 hours into the game. You're also supposedly part of a gang, but you can't take anyone with you unless it's a special mission, so with the law system so ridiculously johnny-on-the-spot you can count on dying against impossible odds over and over again until you can, 20+ hours into the game, hold your own.

    Now let's talk about game play, which is also a total f**cking disaster. The cover system is horrible, the supposedly improved dead eye system is even worse than the cover system, and your enemies take between 2 and 10 shots each to die. Literally, the game will show people getting shot, dropping, and then getting back up like they're some kind of zombie. Meanwhile if you show much as pick up a splinter you're a goner. Add to this a ridiculous health tonic system that transforms you from being the wimpiest gunfighter in the West into the Terminator (able to shrug off dozens of rounds of gun fire), and you have to wonder what Rockstar was smoking when they put this together.

    The truly crowning achievement is that they manage to do all of this while delivering a graphically gorgeous game with a compelling story. Although, even the story needs work as it becomes abundantly obvious early in to the game that you either need to leave the gang and take as many people with you as you can (which you can't do) or murder Dutch (which you also can't do).

    And finally, the other problems. First of all that you can't quick save. That's right, once a mission starts you're screwed if it breaks. And they break all of the god damn time. There are also several graphics glitches, although these at least are minor and don't break the game. All-in-all, it seems to me that Rockstar had a great idea but a poor plan, which lead to the inevitable piss-poor execution. If you haven't been suckered into buying this game due to all of the good reviews and hype, do yourself and favor and save your money.    … Expand

    Um ótimo jogo que as vezes exagera no realismo (não que seja ruim, mas deixa o game demorado) o jogo começa em um ritmo meio lento até um certo ponto, mas te surpreende trazendo uma ótima história e ótimos personagens, recomendo o jogo a todos, e se vice incioi o jogo é desistiu antes do capítulo 4, volte a jogar e vai se surpreender

    Objectively a masterpiece from a technical standpoint but is weak in terms of its story, gameplay and multiplayer.

    Story wise I think they made a huge mistake having it be about Dutch and his gang as if you have played the first game you pretty much know what characters are safe and which are likely to die. This removes tension and makes story arguments to paint characters as    Objectively a masterpiece from a technical standpoint but is weak in terms of its story, gameplay and multiplayer.

    Story wise I think they made a huge mistake having it be about Dutch and his gang as if you have played the first game you pretty much know what characters are safe and which are likely to die. This removes tension and makes story arguments to paint characters as sympathetic useless as it comes across as shooting an arrow at a tree and then painting a bullseye around it. That makes it come off as lazy writing.

    The gameplay is not great as they tried to go for realism in many areas (which normally i would like) that slows things down to a crawl. Looting dead bodies and searching containers require you to individually go through each drawer and pick up each item, a process so slow I don't loot anything in the game. Fast travel is crippled in this game and you need to either travel there yourself or use a fast travel to a town instead of being able to travel to your waypoint. I tend to leave the room now while the game goes on auto pilot to my destination as its not fun traveling after a few hours of play.

    Story missions are still the same Rockstar style missions where you meet a character, travel for 10 minutes to a spot, get into a short and easy fight you where promised wouldnt happen by the character that give you the mission and thats it. I actually wonder how many of the 107 story missions are just carbon copys of themselves.

    Lastly there is multiplayer which is probably the worst part of the game as it is a clone of GTA V but with minimal effort put in. The world feels dead, missions are weak and require 4 people to play. You cant host a private session or one with friends and the Roles in the game are direct copy's of GTA Vs businesses to the point that im am willing to bet good money the code is copied from GTA directly.

    Despite all my criticisms in this review I dont think the game is terrible and if you buy the game it should be for the Singleplayer which you can sink a lot of hours into and get lost in, just be aware of the issues I have brought up and you wont feel cheated in areas and will be prepared in others.

    Would not recommend at full price especially since they are charging more for this game than any prior at £65. If you can get it at 30% off at least you shouldn't feel too ripped off.    … Expand

    Uno de los mejores juegos que he jugado, pero, lamentablemente, un port deficiente con múltiples crasheos y glitches. Dudo que esto se arregle luego de ver el historial penoso de Rockstar en PC.
    El juego está lleno de bugs muy molestos que entorpecen la fluidez de la jugabilidad (incluso hace perder muchas misiones).

    They've patched most of the issues. I've played it on both PS4 Pro and now on PC and it's a masterpiece on either.

    I have played basicay every AAA open world game, but not a single one has ever created a world that feels so alive and dynamic (except maybe BOTW) while having one of the greatest character stories ever told in a video game. Let me explain: As good as many open world games    They've patched most of the issues. I've played it on both PS4 Pro and now on PC and it's a masterpiece on either.

    I have played basicay every AAA open world game, but not a single one has ever created a world that feels so alive and dynamic (except maybe BOTW) while having one of the greatest character stories ever told in a video game. Let me explain:

    As good as many open world games are, they often feel like giant hub worlds with mission starts and collectibles to get. Things can happen but it still feels like you're almost in a glorified level select with npcs. But in RDR2, nothing feels like a checklist, and there is just so much detail and Rockstar have found a way to implement it so fluidly you'll lose all your time to just exploring and living in it. Just getting on your horse and going to an area you haven't been is inherintly rewarding bc you never know what you find.

    It isn't an rpg so stats and upgrade items are really a thing, what you'll find are unique and interesting landmarks or stories. You may come across the remains of a suicide cult, a haunted house, a lonely woman learning to brave the wilderness on her own after her husband died, bumbling KKK idiots you can firebomb, etc. All incredibly written, voice acted, or just told through the scenery and notes. And this goes for the entire game. Everything is done to most excruciating level of detail, whether it's the jaw dropping graphics, the unparraeled quaility of voice acting, or basic mechanics on how characters and animals move and interact with the world.

    You'll see a lot of reviews saying how the over concentraction on "realism" hurts the momentum, but trust me, as someone with little patience, once you get into it it truly all adds to what makes the world feel alive and real in an engaging and fun way. Yes it's still the same rockstar gun mechanics, but I found it satisfying as all hell bc of the dead eye mechanic and the outstanding sound design that make the shootouts intense and visceral. And it also does have kind of a morality based mechanic effecting the narrative but done in a way that's entirely baked into the game and effecting by how you play vs a shallow pick and choose (the best I can compare it to is Silent Hill 2) that really ties what happens to the person you made Arthur to be. So I cried like a gosh darn baby at the end of my first playthrough bc you feel so attached to everything. YOU are Arthur Morgan, the horse you choose is YOUR best friend, and this is YOUR story. While there are games that are amazing bc they feel very gamey and I wouldn't want every game to try to be like this, I believe this is an evolution in games as an art, using the medium to immerse you in a way no film or book can.

    (side notes: there are still one or 2 wrinkles compared to the console version of this game. Very rarely I saw broken shadows or some textures not completely loading in. Also I'd suggest not even trying for 60fps, focus on fidelity first, the game was originally built to be 4k and run at 30fps and it really is a smooth experience choosing that over lower settings)    … Expand

    As to be expected from rockstar singleplayer games its is a well crafted highly polished very long lasting experience that takes you onto a great immersive journey through the good ol wild west.
    The world is massive and filled to the brim with detail, the towns and cities feel lively and the forrest are full of animals so nothing feel barren or empty, there are hundreds of main missions and even side missions so the game will keep you busy for quite some time and over the course of that time you will greatly bond with the main character and his story. Overall for the story alone I cannot recommend this game enough, it really is a must play title like the Witcher 3 for example and everyone that is able to should get their hands on it.

    While I said that I will only take the game and story itself to base my score I still want to address the other issues with the game, yes the PC launch was botched and the game struggled for months with crashes, poor performance and many PC related bugs which since then have mostly been fixed now.
    Nonetheless it has to be addressed how rockstar deals with these issues in general which is mostly a whole lot of silence, I love their games and they are usually greatly polished and well made games but their terrible business practices cannot go on like that, it is simply unacceptable to treat your customers like that!

    I said its hard to decide on how to rate this game but I think it would not be fair to give this game a bad review based on how badly the publisher handled the last few months, its not the games nor the devs fault and thus I decided to give it a 10/10 because if you look past the technical issues this truly is an amazing game that will be remembered for years to come!    … Expand

It's one of the most beautiful games I've ever seen, in terms of quality. It's incredibly realistic, more than most games out there. Like GTA V, Rockstar really stepped it up with the quality and the storytelling, compared to their previous games, with it even better in this game. They built such an intricate and fascinating life history to all the characters, and you find out as the story progresses. You find yourself almost building an emotional connection to the majority of the main characters by the end. And of course, they made the story perfect as a prequel to the first RDR, Blackwater and New Austin is very close to being identical to the first game, which makes it all the better. As I said before, it's just incredible the amount of detail that went into this game. In terms of Online... It's constantly improving as time goes on. It hasn't gone off the walls like GTA Online has, and you actually get money return from Online missions that you play, unlike GTA Online. As I said, it's continuing to get better and better, with new missions, and businesses, it's a similar idea to GTA Online's businesses (except the RDR Online businesses won't cost you a small fortune in shark cards or whatever.) Everything fits in perfectly for an outlaw out in the country of America, in 1899. (Just like GTA Online, RDR Online is set a month or so before the story starts.) Also, the amount of maturity among players on Online compared to GTA Online is staggering. There is much less griefing, and players are a hell of a lot more respectful than they are in GTA Online. I give this game a 10/10, it's a really good one. And give Online a chance as well, it'll just get better and better.… Expand

    Starting a story in medias res is a common approach. Trying to introduce a full troupe of important characters that the main protagonist already knows is much less common, for very good reason. The start (and subsequent 15+ hours) of RDR2 could be compared to trying to start one of the Mass Effect games with the full crew already assembled and all personal relationships already established, while simultaneously failing to introduce a clear overarching goal such as defeating the reapers. Only the comparison isn't really fair as the characters in RDR2, for the completely valid sake of realism, are far less colorful than most of the main characters in Mass Effect, making it even harder to engage with the narrative. This hard-to-engage-with story also turns out to be far too long with two separate finales (not based on choice, two inevitable events), both of which come up somewhat short in terms of feelings of satisfaction. On the positive side most of the acting is excellent and there are plenty of glimmers of narrative brilliance, especially in the epilogue.

    Graphically the game is mostly excellent. The environments are gorgeous and the volumetric lighting is very impressive. Towns, horses, trains and wildlife all look great. Being able to switch between first and third person is great. Human hair is a weakness, with some characters looking like they've got quite a bit of glue in their locks.

    Mechanically the game shines when you're on your own doing something of your own choice, such as hunting for food, collecting a debt or shooting some would-be robbers. Unfortunately these moments are almost never part of the main story content. The riding mechanics are very good, and the auto-riding works well (a time skip fast-travel button would be nice, though). The cover-based shooting parts of the game are generally fine, although the weapon variety is pretty limited, again for the valid sake of realism.

    The low points will be in some of the many scripted mission sequences which often feel simultaneously condescending and braindead. You will be told to take cover behind a rock, but not any rock will do. There will be a specific, scripted rock that you must cover behind in order for the game to progress. Similarly, you will be told to stand on an outcrop and survey a camp using binoculars, and again there is a specific scripted spot. The game will simply not recognize you surveying the camp from any other location even though this is perfectly possible. Another baffling aspect is the tendency for characters to have voice lines instructing you to do the most basic thing even after some 40 hours of gameplay, such as "hitch your horse here". Here's hoping Rockstar can move beyond this ridiculously outdated hand-holding paint-by-numbers mission structure in the future.

    Some further minor complaints include an overuse of having to hold a button to perform an action, an overuse of forcing the player to walk rather than run, the fact that the conversation-focus button is also be the button that draws your weapon and a general arbitrariness of controls (to pick up something off the ground you press X, unless it's your hat, in which case you press Y, or a weapon, in which case you press LB).

    Performance on PC seems a bit off, especially with the default settings. Thankfully there are tons of settings and it is possible to get a stable 60 fps with the game looking great. I had three crashes, none of which caused any significant loss of progress.    … Expand

    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.
