    $60 for Launcher that can't launch the game without crashing. No fixes, no help, no game. Well done Rockstar.

    I was one of the many that preordered this game months in advance, hoping to be able to play it on November the 5, 2019. My rig is a year old ASUS G703GS gaming laptop. ALL of the drivers are up to date. Every time I start the Rock Star launcher for RDRD2, I get an "Error, no compatible Sound card detected" message. I have a ticket submitted to Rock Star, but NONE of their suggested fixesI was one of the many that preordered this game months in advance, hoping to be able to play it on November the 5, 2019.

I have a ticket submitted to Rock Star, but NONE of their suggested fixes work. I'm on day 6, post launch and still can't run the game. I would advise anyone not to order this game until all the bugs are ironed out and its on Steam. And in the mean time, try to get a refund if you can. For Me? No more Preorders! EVER! Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I dont wat to tell you about bugs and optimizations problems. I want to tell you about "nice persons" decisions of creators.
    1. Story. Why u give players choice if it does not affect the ending of the game? WARNING spoilers.
    I spent so much time and all game kill legendary animals to create amulets, crafted enemys, developed main person and his horse for what? For stupid death? 1 hour ago i killed 50 men, but now im coughing and cant run away with John. Where is logic?
    Robbed oil fabric for 2k$ while having 43k$, where is logic? we take from bank in Valentine 6k$.....
    2. Too much limits. Like animations that i cant skip, for example cart buyer, When i did it 30 time i want to delete this ... game. with train and stagecoach same things...
    I cant run in camp, houses in story and many other plays and must 5-10 min walk like in ... garden.
    3. Bad system of reputation. Why my reputation go down if npc start to shoot first? or i robbed dead man in forest? Or angry answer man who first bad called me? or killed dog of bounty hunters? i need to wait when she killed me??? no logic...
    4. Autosafe after death.. Who invented it? Who invented 3 quest in a row? i wanted to see other decisions of last quest and spend 2 hours becouse game not supported sfae in this 3 auest in a row.....
    5. In quest i everytime only the first carabin or rifle...why i cant choose weapon that i want? Set it as the main?Knife too, everytime i have only the usual knife and if i set another one, then aftere another quest or smth it will changes to usual knife... With bullets same problem...
    6. why can not I leave about the prosecution as in the GTA if the lawyers do not see me?
    7. How the lawyers know who i am when i robbed smth or smth if i put on a mask?? How did they do this???Is this face recognition in 1899??

    Think its enough, too many questions that will not be answered...This game do not cost the price that they want...at least 3 times less

    Una vergüenza tremenda es la optimizacíon de este juego, casi casi injugable. y lo peor de todo es que Rockstar hasta ahora no lo soluciona, ni siquiera se digna a responder cuando sacaran un próximo parche. Lamentable que pase esto con este juegazo.

    Great potential, and beautiful game where there is a ton of attention to detail. But the game feel is literally the worst feeling game I have ever played. The movement in Pac-man is 10/10 compared to this.

    For game play + graphics 2 points

    I was trying to play this game calm since it is a RPG. I wanted to murder no one unless it is totally necessary but most of the game gang and you, have to kill people because NPCs are trying protect themselves from you or in some cases you kill for no reason at all for the sake of the mission

    I was trying to play this game calm since it is a RPG. I wanted to murder no one unless it is totally necessary but most of the game gang and you, have to kill people because NPCs are trying protect themselves from you or in some cases you kill for no reason at all for the sake of the mission like you go get drunk with your friend and for no reason you start fighting this scenario happens more then it should. In one of missions we have to save one of our friend from jail we ripoff jail bar and whole town start shooting at us(whole town has 13-15 building) we kill 80-100 people and when we turn back we can observe that incident had no impact to town at all. This game lacks realism a RPG must have and relies heavily on mindless killing for sake of game play like call of Juarez. Don't get me wrong call of Juarez is a good game but imagine all the possibilities with a massive open world wild west map and developers decide to make main character a bandit. Its such a waste of potential.

    [spoiler] In one of the mission we decide to sneak into fort with the help of an old lady who is a traitor. She snuck us inside and decided to ask more money than we have and Dutch kills her for a obvious reason that if you don't pay she will rat on us but Arthur who killed countless innocent people to that point be like "damn Dutch are you gonna kill me to"

    [spoiler] I realize Micah will betray us right after he join back to gang. He was the only person who acts like he doesn't care about others and next 2 missions with Micah proved that I was right but Dutch be like traitor can be anyone but Micah and I don't even want to point Micah joined gang just 6 months ago.

    [NO SPOILERS]
    At the last parts of the game I realize that I don't give a f*** about game any more. I tried to not to kill a single innocent person but game and scenario make you commit many crimes even if you don't want to. Basically you don't have any choice that changes to flow of the story. I found myself looting and killing and stealing more than I should since missions are forcing you to be careless anyways and then at the end game reward you if you tried to be "good guy".

    The Good: Beautiful Graphics. Fantastic setting. Good Story.

    The Bad: - Horrendous controls. You are constantly in some urgent task with people shooting at you, when keys that normally work cause you to stand up and walk slowly around a horse or something. - Story not synced with settings of game engine... You are constantly told to hurry by NPCs when you are locked into "slow-walk
    The Good: Beautiful Graphics. Fantastic setting. Good Story.

    The Bad:
    - Horrendous controls. You are constantly in some urgent task with people shooting at you, when keys that normally work cause you to stand up and walk slowly around a horse or something.
    - Story not synced with settings of game engine... You are constantly told to hurry by NPCs when you are locked into "slow-walk mode" by the game. Or similar cases where you are supposed to do something the game engine does not allow.
    - Many "no way to win" situations... Sometimes you loot someone and are rewarded. Sometimes you loot someone and get negative rep because it turns out they were a "good guy" before they got killed off-screen.
    - Too many cases where the story locks you into completing something. If you have a real life, be careful playing this game because it will randomly punish you if you have to stop for the day.

    The Ugly:
    - Teases at potential relationships between main and secondary characters, but zero actual options. Failed romances are not the kind of in-game fantasy I enjoy.
    - Low actual control. The game is highly scripted. Make no mistake, you are acting in a (100 hour) movie when you play. You can't save people you might want to save, and you can't kill people you might want to kill.
    - I have to put the controls under this category too... They really are constantly awful, impossible to fully work around by learning them, and impossible to fix in settings.

    Incredibly disappointing
    Let's start with the core of any game, the gunplay. The guns and their mechanics are almost from 2001. It's copy pasted from GTAV which was copied from Max Payne 3. And it didn't even keep it at that. It just got worse. I felt no fun at all shooting. All guns are the same almost.
    Secondly the mission design. There is none. Half the game is riding your horse. Then

    Secondly the mission design. There is none. Half the game is riding your horse. Then a cutscene. After the cutscene you'll find a cover, get behind it. Use your slow motion thing to get 4 heat shots. repeat until the next cutscene. There's no design at all. Some missions you have to stand in an exact place and do an exact thing. You can't do anything other than the game tells you to do. It's like you're just watching the game and occasionally press E or some other button.
    Then there's the world. It looks amazing on the outside. But once you start digging in it you discover it's all empty. All the towns are the same to the point I don't even know their names. Except for one city that looks different but by the time I got there I didn't bother explore it cause I was so disappointed by the game so far. It's all just empty areas and animals to hunt which you don't need to hunt cause it's useless and boring. I found an NPC with a cool small quest then after an hour I found the same NPC with the same quest then discovered it's all copy pasted around the world.
    The game has cool systems but it ruins it somehow. I liked the honor system until I discovered it's of no consequence and the main mission will just change it for me.
    And now for the story, anyone who praised the story just didn't complete it. The story is great until chapter 5 then it take a dip in quality that I can compare to GoT S8. And it never recovers. After that I stopped caring about the story, the characters, everything. And wasn't looking forward to any of the missions because I know I will be just pressing the buttons the developers want me to press till it's over. I had to complete the game because I complete any game I play. But honestly it was more annoying than fun.
    The graphics of the game are cool but actually playing it isn't fun at all. After 2 cutscenes I just stopped caring.

    1 point of criticism : controls are not wel optimized for PC...or at lease i don't always understand the logic behind the buttons to press. Press E to loot corpses, to loot chests and cabinets press R, turn the mousewheel to select weapon and click the mousewheel button to activate Eagle Eye (slowmo)...you eventually get it but not very clear...

    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.
