    Certamente o melhor jogo que já joguei. O nível de detalhes, cuidados, enredo, historia, atmosfera, personagens profundamente desenvolvidos, cinematografia... nenhum um tem tudo isso, nenhum.

    Наконец-то игру более-менее починили и теперь она играбельна в сингле. Лучший симмулятивный мир из всех что я видел. Приятно просто ездить по дорогам и наслаждаться пейзажами.

    Really disappointing nothing really feels like it was ready for release. For me personally the performance is OK 60+ fps on balanced settings with 6700K and a GTX 1070.

For me personally the performance is OK 60+ fps on balanced settings with 6700K and a GTX 1070.

    Most of my complaints are just with the bugs and lost freedom of the game. I have a problem where the mouse aiming is not very precise and when trying to make small adjustments to line up shots it is almost impossible because the reticle moves in 5-6 pixels at a time and has almost like a deadzone for how much the mouse has to move before it registers (Like the problem that still persists with the GTA IV pc port).
    When looking back at other games Rockstar have released it was hoping for the aiming and combat to be atleast as good as previous games like GTA 5 or Max Payne 3. But no, it feels clunky and imprecise.
    Movement also aint so good. Trying to walk close to a ledge to push some over? Too bad Arthur has a death wish and jumps down with no hesitation. And movement just feels more restrictive compared to GTA 5, changing direction is slow and is made even worse if youre riding a horse.

    One time where i realised rockstar had removed freedom was when chasing a train a promt comes up "Jump to train". But it only appears when it is clear. Why was that made? why not make me able to jump always make ME time it and if i dont i get to see Arthur ragdoll and get hurt this would make it more intense when trying to leap from your horse instead of it being precalculated it just needs me to press the button. Made me feel really sad.

    Freedom in missions is also very rare youre constantly being told what to do and how to do it. Follow this man, wait for this cutscene, shoot these guys. It is VERY boring and tedius. A mission where they have to rescue Sean from a boat full of bad guys. Instead of ME, the PLAYER figuring out how to rescue him, the game does it all for me and i have no input on what happends. Might aswell watch a movie instead of these. Its like a constant cutscene but where i have to hold down 'W' to keep my horse moving forward and only the 'W' does anything, trying to turn the horse and nothing happends they strip me of my controls to make me stick to the plan but keeps me awake to make me press 'W' and bore myself to death.

    The game looks and sounds incredible and i have no complaints here. But it feels like the wanted to make a movie instead of a game. Most of the time youre just coasing by no doing anything because the game is doing it for you. An addition i liked more than i would have thought was the growing beard and hair. Its just a really nice feature.

    Also the game crashes almost constantly if in fullscreen mode. I found that if left in fullscreen-windowed mode, it has a much lower change of crashing out of nowhere. If buying the game wait for the steam release. Steam more features and functionality compared to the rockstar launcher which was built in 2 weeks by interns being paid minimum wage.    … Expand

    Short: good, but not great. Definitely not a must-play. Technical problems.

    I. Technical. - Game does NOT have a bad optimization. However, setting are too complex (more than 20 variables) and auto-choice is bad. After an optimization guide I've got a best looking PC game running on stable 60 fps. - DRM. Well, I suppose it's DRM causing problems. I've got crashes from the game and    Short: good, but not great. Definitely not a must-play. Technical problems.

    I. Technical.
    - Game does NOT have a bad optimization. However, setting are too complex (more than 20 variables) and auto-choice is bad. After an optimization guide I've got a best looking PC game running on stable 60 fps.
    - DRM. Well, I suppose it's DRM causing problems. I've got crashes from the game and just before the crash I was seeing on a screen the situation where I was like 20 minutes ago. Also, (I bought at EGS) I was receiving save files conflict, where save at the cloud was MORE recent than local. Many stuff is server-based here, I guess.

    II. Singleplayer.
    - There are 3 games with longest story, that I have played: The Witcher III, GTA V and RDR II.
    I am not keen on fantasy, but after WIII's 120+ hours I've read not only witcher's books but all author's bibliography and now have a high regard of polish fantasy writers.
    I am not superfan of criminal drama, but after GTA V's 50+ hours I've searched and looked every Scorcese's, De Palma's and Mann's overlooked masterpieces and some of 80's action movies.
    I am super big fan of western genre: from Stagecoach to The Shootist, from Django to Django Unchained I've watched every notable western movie, black-white, color and of course, Technicolor. And after RDRII's 80+ hours I am kinda meh…
    - Yeah, it's 1899, almost end of the Wild West in USA (1st period is before telegraph and railroads, 2nd is circa Civil War, 3rd is afterwards, 4th is Mexican Revolution), so it does hurt an atmosphere, it is lacking golden age shenanigans.
    - Some missions are great, direct quotations from great movies, but there many just soulless stuff copypasted from GTA.
    - Weapons are great and bad simultaneously. Rockstar did a great job and spoiled it after. Great reloading animations were done and than speed up, idk, in 100 times. So, your game hero reload gate-loading Colt or even cap and ball with amount of time required to reload modern pistol. It downs an importance of each shot to a meh I'll just reload in 2 seconds. There are btw world's first pistols and some newer weapons, not really common at that time in those places, and it's hurting atmosphere too, really bad. Making a western into GTA is a bad thing.
    - You travel with a gang, there are plenty of characters, half of the names of those you won't remember in the end of the game. Also, many other characters are flat, only serving some purpose. For example, there are Indians, and Indians' quests, but it's feels like just so R* can say: "We have Indians in our western". Guys, for example, there are too few Mexicans. So what? Western can tell many stories, the overall percent coverage of all possible topics is not what is important, it's theirs quality, and game lacks it, really bad.
    - Your actions affect your story based on your honor level. However, it's too easy to be good. Unless, you murder folks for 5 $. Or doesn't confess your sins to Reverend Fish. Just let it go, off the hook, my son.
    - And yet, game is too long, twice longer than GTA V, and exact same length too long.
    Overall, script-writing is worse than in GTA V. I kinda guess, after all those years with modern criminal plots they've achieved some skills and trying to use these skills everywhere.
    - Economy is broken. Missions propose you hard choices about taking or not taking like 20 $ from a poor fellow. C'mon, just go find some gold bars, 500 $ each and you will not have any problems with money, just frustration from unsatisfying dull unrewarding copypasted repeating quests.
    - Open world works on scripts. When they work it's impressive as hell. But they tend to broke. IMHO, it could've been a firts R* RPG easily, with like plus 25% efforts added to all of this, but meh.

    III. Online.
    I am not really a modern online gamer, nor have I played a RDO much, but it does feel good.
    There are pay-to-win, but it works only in PVP. Mundane, unpolished and easily avoidable PVP in mostly PVE-focused game with role-playing flavor.
    However, DRM (p.I) can crash your game just when you were doing your mission, or having a good hand in poker. In singleplayer I just reload, it's not a big deal, but it's a lot of pain in online, because you must do it again from the very start.
    An of course, you do grinding a lot.
    Protagonists of RDO are mute. All of them. It feels strange and awkward.
    From all mini-games from single you can play only poker.

    In the end, after writing this review, I still can't recommend to buy or to avoid this game, even if you like westerns. If you don't have anything other to play, maybe?    … Expand

В ней отличный сюжет с охерительной режиссурой, развитию которого способствуют основательно прописанные персонажи, которым хочется сопереживать и помогать. И помимо него есть множество различных мест интереса и побочных заданий разной степени проработанности. так что в игре всегда можно себя чем-то занять. Но у РДР, как и любой другой игры, есть свои минусы, которые относятся как к самой структуре в принципе, так и к особенностям ПК-версии: бесконечная езда на лошади быстро надоедает, а далеко не в любую точку карты можно добраться фасттрэвэлом, менюшки довольно таки неудобные, управление порой выводит из себя так же, как и немалое количество менеджмента, за которым не особо интересно следить, эмбиенты мне показались посредственными, отличие одной лошади от другой сложно прочувствовать, да и оптимизация подкачала, особенно на выходе, сейчас игра идет на моей системе (GTX1060 6gb, I5-8500, 16gb оперативки) стабильно в 60 фпс на средне-высоких с некоторыми графическими багами. Но почти все минусы незначительны по сравнению с тем наслаждением, которое я получил от прохождения этой игры, поэтому игра заслуживает свои 9/10.

    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

    So many things could be said about the game, but it would be a long ass review and i dont feel like it. Its an imperfect game with questionable story decisions/plot and 2008 control design and mission design. Beautiful audivisual product and cinematic experience. Wasn't half as fun as i would've hoped.

    I played RDR1 3 months ago and gave it an 8.5, i give RDR2 a 7.5.

    They've worked a lot on it, the game runs very well, especially in solo. Multiplayer still has server issues (a bit like GTA) But otherwise, it's a masterpiece.

    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.
