    Es la primera reseña que escribo y da pena ver malas calificaciones a el juego sacadas totalmente de contexto de lo que el juego es, puteando al launcher o a problemas que se solucionaron al cabo de 2 o 3 días! sin siquiera tener el tiempo de pasarse el juego, es muy triste,y como minimo espero q si son tan quisquillosos lo sean así de intolerantes con todos los juegos y compañías.En finEs la primera reseña que escribo y da pena ver malas calificaciones a el juego sacadas totalmente de contexto de lo que el juego es, puteando al launcher o a problemas que se solucionaron al cabo de 2 o 3 días! sin siquiera tener el tiempo de pasarse el juego, es muy triste,y como minimo espero q si son tan quisquillosos lo sean así de intolerantes con todos los juegos y compañías.En fin mi valoración esta basada en los siguiente:
    -Historia: Simplemente increíble, rozando lo perfecta, a la par de intensa que The last of us, que para mi siempre fue la mejor hasta ahora, es cuanto a profundidad de personajes y la forma que te mete el la piel de los mismos y simpatizar con ellos. No quiero agregar mas sobre esto para no caer en spoiler, por si alguien verdaderamente lee esto no quiero arruinarles esta hermosa experiencia, Es simplemente increible
    -Gráficos y Entorno: En cuanto a los gráficos, son escandalosos, es por momentos apabullante su mundo, que conspira de una forma tan perfecta con su narrativa. De nuevo con las comparaciones, desde The Witcher 3 no me pasaba el ir por ahí y de un momento a otro prestar atención al entorno decir "QUE MARAVILLA, como corno hicieron esto!" y es que todo lo que te rodea durante todo el put... juego es impresionante, desde las postales que te quedan de las montañas, lo sombrío de los pantanos, la paz que dan esas llanuras, y una especie de magia que hay por la noche el los pueblos y la ciudad Principal, Es sencillamente EXTRAORDINARIO.
    Duración: Lo acabo de chequear y es exactamente 58 hs 09 min, centrado solo en la historia principal mas alguno de esos eventos aleatorios pero casi ninguno. Ni siquiera se de que trata el online, Pero no soy de jugar los online de los juegos por eso no entra en mi valoración personal
    Jugabilidad: es un poco mas compleja que en gta, y se tarda en adaptarse los controles teniendo que muchas veces apretar mas de 3 teclas para realizar una acción pero los asimilas rápido, los tiroteos se sienten muchísimo mas reales y espectaculares que en otro juegos de Rocks Star
    -RENDIMIENTO! : SI es un juego pesado, y NO no lo juegue en ultra 4K 60 FPS. Lo juegue en una de las opciones de "equilibrado" mas altas que combina opciones en Alto, Medio y Ultra de una manera genial, (tengo una RTX 2060 super, Ryzen 3600 y 16 GB de ram) a 60 FPS prácticamente ininterrumpidos salvo por algún bajón a 50-55 muy puntual sobre todo en la zona del pantano, y es que mucha gente esta enojada porque el contador de FPS no se les dispara a mas de 100 pero habría que poner,creo yo mas atención al juego que al msi afterburner, y es que en la configuración en la que jugué yo que no es ni de cerca la mas alta lo se, LE PASA EL TRAPO A CUALQUIER OTRO JUEGO!!! POR DIOOOSS déjense de joder con estupideces y disfrutenlo! Que vale tanto la pena jugarlo por mas que sea en bajo y con los 100 filtros raros esos que tiene desactivados. El juego es HERMOSO.
    P/D: EL LAUNCHER ES UNA MIERDA! Y YA ME TIENEN LAS PELOTAS POR EL PISO CON ELLOS! Para que? es realmente necesario? de verdad piensan que llenando de launcherS el PC vamos a estar mas conformes? que nos gusta tener 60 mil aplicaciones de mierda que SIEMPRE FUNCIONAN MAL para guardar 1 juego en cada una? que tienen en la cabeza? Evitan comisiones a STEAM pero se acarrean un puto 3.7 de nota Giles!!. Solo por esto le quería quitar dos puntos, pero creo que es mierda de la empresa y no de lo que yo estrictamente estoy calificando que es el juego que es una maravilla.
    En fin, me pase el juego después de un hype de mas de un año que salio en consolas y la verdad sobrepaso por mucho mis expectativas. Hace mucho que no sentía que pague demasiado barato un juego caro.    … Expand

    Best game that came out this year for PC, everything runs smoothly with my i7-5820k and GTX 980 on high setting. Used to bug out on initial launch, but after I updated my driver, everything seems to be running smoothly, consistent 70 fps. Still running the game with 8gb ram opposed to the minimum 12gb.

    Red Dead Redemption 2 when it came out in 2018 on consoles, was the best open world game you could ever experience.
    The gamne beats any other (open world) title in almost every categorie.
    Rockstar really put many effort in creating this game, with its many characters, gameplay, and outstanding graphics.

    So when you usually play an open world title, you may know, that some things are quiet cut off, as creating an open world, that is highly believable, has high end graphics and on top an excellent story is almost impossible to do. There were few games in the past, that could come close to this, but none of them is as big and as detailled as Red Dead Redemption 2. Not even the Witcher 3 can handle all of it that well,

    But lets start with the technical details.
    On PC the game looks pretty much the best you can get on any game you could name. The world is so detailled in everything, that it is amazing how much effort Rockstar has taken to get this cranked up for the PC version. Of course this comes with a high price. Many people are complaining about crashes and low performance on their rigs and not even get to 60fps.
    I can only tell you the numbers that could explain this:

    If we take the steam Hardware Survey, Following Hardware which is capable of 2k in High-Ultra (with fps between 40-60fps) is used there.

    1080ti 1,56%
    RTX 2070Super 0,25%
    RTX 2080 0,88%
    RTX 2080 Super < 0,15%
    RTX 2080Ti 0,54%
    Titan RTX < 0,15%

    Lets give the Cards below 0,15% the benfit of the doubt and count tham as 0,15% and then this makes

    3,53% of all Steam Users have a graphics card that could possibly handle the game in 2K at 40-60fps almost maxed out, with little things set to High (like Water Details).

    Considered that 96,5 % of the gamers on PC dont even own at least a 1080ti it is just ridiculous how they expect the game to run on Ultra on their rigs.
    So compared to any other game, the performace / detail ratio in Red Dead Redemption 2 is fine for me, as I do not know any other game that comes close to these details an graphics at all ... and I played all AAA games the last 10 years!

    Also you have to be aware, that you need to be able to set up your rig, with knowledge, which not even 1% of the gamers are having. I built so many rigs for friends and people I know alone, and they have decent rigs, but no knowledge about their insides.

    So yes, Rockstar needs to work on that, but its not a general flaw ... more the lack of decent Hardware and knowledge about how to setup your PC.
    We have to admit, that this game benchmarks current generation of Hardware and maybe the next one.

    I left out the CPUs, because the CPU is not a bottleneck on your PC if you have a rig, that is supporting these named Graphic Cards, so you can leave that out. Otherwise the percentage of the capable rigs will be even lower!

    So much for the 0 ratings because of performance.
    I play it on a 1080ti on Ultra at 1440p and get decent 40-60fps. With a good G-Sync Display it runs smooth enough and rarely drops fps.

    Coming to the Sound, which is awesomly designed as well. There is no ... literally no NPC that has really poor voice or texts, which is also very rare on an open world game that scale. Even the last dude, that most likely not even 1% of the players will find is done extremely well.
    The animals are having very good sounds and also realistic ones. It must have taken months to capture them all.
    Also environment sounds of horses, Same is with wagons or trains.

    The world just feels alive in every bit of what you can name. I even saw an Opossum that ran beside me, and as itr recognized me, it faked death ... breathtaking.

    When it comes to Gameplay, well this is kind of a taste thing. As this is a rating for the PC version I have to say, that the controls are designed for Controllers. Keyboard and Mouse are done very good, but it has many Keys mapped for any specific things you can do, and does not the very best job in terms of intuition.
    When it comes to the plaing of the game, it is also here outstanding choice. The amount of things you can do is also outstanding. From cooking, to crafting, to playing mini games in bars, to shaving, to cleaning your horse, do tasks in your camp, fishing, hunting ... name it and you can do it.

    The story is just the way Rockstar does it. Its not the very best in all video games, but its a thrilling, believable homage to the end of the wild west time and it is finished satisfying with closing the gap to Red Dead Redemption 1.

    In the end you will be left with the Multiplayer, that is out since 1 year now and went through a lot of improvements. PC Players have the advantage to had the consoles do the Beta testing, and Rockstar being reacting to the whishes out of that.
    Overall a Masterpiece.    … Expand

    At first the game stuttered, but that was fixed. Now it works perfectly. The graphics are breathtaking. A masterpiece! My deepest respect for the developers!

    A fantastic game in a fantastic world!
    One of the best graphics I've ever seen, in a lively and very active world, there are no empty spaces here.

    Optimization: The game pulls the graphics farther than any console could run, it comes at a price and the PC version is quite demanding. There are problems, but nothing very serious and gradually disappear.

    Must buy it.

    Miracle on PC. On my average computer it goes on ultras and there are no lags of bugs and crashes, especially 10 days after the release of the game. I do not understand those people who litter the PC version of the game. All the games, absolutely all the games that I played, in the first days after the release lag. Why didn't these commentators understand this?

    A stunningly beautiful game. So much to discover and see. Well written dialogue and characters, set in jaw-dropping and atmospheric scenery. Missions varies between good stories and gun blazing action. Intel i7-8700 (non k) and rtx 2080 gets the job done for me. It’s difficult to max out graphics with todays hardware. But this one will last for years to come.

    The worst part of this game is when you want to fast travel.. You still end up wasting 10 minutes riding a horse no matter where you start.

    I decided not to assign a vote of 10 to this game because of the optimization problems that the PC version involves.
    I play it with an RTX 2080 on a 1080p monitor and I manage to get it to maximum settings, except that MSAA at x2, the same fate, however, did not go to those with such less powerful hardware, although still expensive and above average.
    For all that concerns the mechanics,    I decided not to assign a vote of 10 to this game because of the optimization problems that the PC version involves.

    For all that concerns the mechanics, the plot, the depth, the longevity, the characterization of the characters, the possibilities that the game offers, I think it is, without too many doubts, one of the first five best games ever played in 30 years of almost "career" as a gamer. Such sublime games come out once every 10 years.

    Anyways the game itself is just pure gold. Story and characters, well there has been enough talk about these, so I have to add one very noticeable thing for me, which is sound. This game has easily the best and most detailed sound in any game ever made. Just standing in the woods you can hear all around you these different animals, swaying trees in the wind, distant waterfall and trains. Not only has it perfect ambient sound but the soundtrack is very good aswell and makes many missions unforgettable. Mission structure is played out with basic R* way following orders: go here, stand here, press this button, shoot them etc. but honestly I was not expecting any dramatic change to that, imo it works fine for story driven game. This game has so much content that I could spend 200h in it without ever getting bored. All things concidered well worth 60€ after patches.    … Expand

    To put it simply, the game runs best on AMD parts. Keep in mind that both the PS4 & Xbox One use AMD parts, so there might be some connection to that, but if you have an NVIDIA card or Intel processor, then you will most likely have issues playing.

    I'm not giving RDR2 a 10/10, because there are still some graphical issues that I experience, and occasionally a few crashes (very rare though).

    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.
