    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.

    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
    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.

    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.

    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?

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.
    P.S. Онлайн относительно неплохой, в нем немало контента и Рокстары пока не обдирают своих игроков как липу, но пвп в нём убогое и несбалансированное.

    This is going to be a bit hard to rate as there are a number of factors here that each alone deserve its own category, for the sake of writing a review this will be about the singleplayer and story ONLY.

    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!

    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.

    I get 15fps maxed out on my 2080@3440x1440. To reach 60fps I have to let nvidia optimise it to LOW. Nice...

    Edit :
    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.

    What a travesty this is. I adore RDR1, it's one of the finest games ever. GTA V (despite the shark cards) is also a work of art. How did it go so wrong Rockstar?
    At it's core, this is still basically a very good game, but it is equalled by it's flaws. I had ignored as much as I could of this game waiting for PC, and yet I buckled after 6 months, paid stupid money for it on XOne, hated it

    At it's core, this is still basically a very good game, but it is equalled by it's flaws. I had ignored as much as I could of this game waiting for PC, and yet I buckled after 6 months, paid stupid money for it on XOne, hated it after a few hours purely (or so I thought) for having to use a controller.
    So far, I have I had 20-30 hours of side questing just disappear from my singleplayer save, but my lust to play this edged me on to the online element earlier than I expected. This has proven equally frustrating. I hate myself for continuing to play, I WANT to like this game but I hate it more than I have hated a lot of games, and I've hated a LOT of games.

    This game seems to have been designed to frustrate and waste the players time more than any I have ever known. The world itself, is beautiful. It is clear the artists and sfx guys have really made a rich and gorgeous world. However, we all know good graphics do NOT equal good gameplay and this is living proof of that. I'm struggling to think if I have enjoyed any mission or side quest, I really don't think I have. As I was a sucker to get this on the Rockstar launcher I have created this account to review the game as opposed to Steam. I hate it THAT much. I do not deny Rockstar make wonderous sandboxes but this falls incredibly short of their high standards. The random crashes to desktop on launch I can handle, it's to be expected from Rockstar. It's the gameplay or lack of it that makes me hate this game. The amount of time wasting this game expects of the player is absurd, the best example is skinning an animal, a 5 second anitmation each time, not skippable. There are 'story' missions for online, but you need to matchmake to play them, this isn't PUBG or COD, for a game barely two weeks old I have waitied minutes at a time for cruddy missions with a cutscene no-one cares for. Fail it, and it could take 10's of minutes to 'just get it done', the fun disappears very quickly when relying on 3 people you do not know, nor communicate with. I am utterly convinced Rockstar detests solo players. I felt that from GTA V online and here it is amplified.

    Now let's cover aiming, a LOT of people, myself included wanted m&k aiming, the graphics were secondary. The aiming in this is almost 50/50 whether you can be accurate and almost seems 50/50 whether you will actually shoot when you click the mouse button. Not to mention the typical bizarre control setup from Rockstar. Sometimes you try to shoot and the character won't even draw a gun. To do the 'survival' and eat food and tonics for stamina, health and dead eye is far too convoluted, in the heat of battle you just button press and select stuff hoping it's what you want, there is absolutely no fluidity to it. It's like Ark without the big green text, though Ark was more fluid to do what you wanted.

    I really could go on and on about how much I hate this game, the really annoying thing is I will likely continue to torture myself with it for if nothing else but to justify buying it. Even if bought on Steam it is likely it will take longer than 2-3 hours to realise how flawed this game is. I really am gobsmacked how this is such an un-fun game. I'm giving it 5/10 purely for art direction, there is no fun in this game, or at least very, very little. Very genuinley I don't remember enjoying any of it in 40+ hours. The 'challenges' are rigged so as to only be completeable in story mode, after you've completed the story, thus pointless.

    The online challenges.... ride the train for 1000 miles, one lap of the main part of the map seems to be around 2 miles, that's a challenge alright, a challenge of patience for a pathetic reward, I say reward, I believe it's a buckle worth about $15 in game, that's enough to refill your ammo, not much else.

    The launch issues will get fixed, but the terrible gameplay will not. My only solace left is that RedM turns this into a playable game but I fear it will be saturated by salt and only the big streamers will find good times.

    Rockstar bring out one game every 5 years, I've been a staunch fan of theirs since GTA 1. I will not be buying their next game on release and definitely will not be buying it 2 or 3 times like this and GTA V. The bigger they are the harder they fall, and they have fallen off Everest with this release. I thoroughly regret buying it and despise the hours I've played as almost entirely pi$$sed of for the duration.

    If you must, 100% I would wait for a sale, there are many games out there that are fun and much more worthy of your attention.

    This is a great game. And a beautiful work of art.
    The emotions that I received from the story of Arthur Morgan, I have not received from a single movie or book for a long time.
    Thank you very much Rockstar! Like any artwork, "red dead redemption 2" has minor disadvantages. But you immediately forget about them when plunging into the atmosphere of the Wild West. It’s only a pity that

    Second enemy is cursor in the middle of picture, I turn off my Discord, Nvidia app, everything else exept EGS Launcher, Rockstar Launcher. Change graphics settings, to window and back to fullscrin. After all I've fixed it too.
    But still got some freezes in single player. It's okay, my wooden pc not perfect.
    The last damn thing is 0x20010006 error. Fault on Rockstar game services.
    Some connection problems and there is no chance to fix it in FAQ of Rockstar.
    My connection is fine, I've checked it many times. Pinging google and there is no loses. I am playing in many games where is connection is pretty important thing, but no lags and I wasnt disconnected many years.
    I'm hoping that you'll fix it, guys. I'm begging you.
    In my country salaries is 300-400$, when I'm paying 40$ I'm expecting some good product from AAA-Company.
    Also you asking for 40$ and to unlock half of content I should pay more. I can't collect thing, can't be bounty hunter.
    I GTAV Online I haven't felt myself so poor bastard. In this game many of ways to make money are locked from me.
    I registered on MetaCritic to give my score and my review. So much frustrated.

    After the two hotfixes it's almost fine.

    I preordered the game, payed pretty much, sacrificed the integrity of my library on steam in favour of Rockstar game launcher and I got.. Nothing. A bitter sensation of being a complete fool. The game crashed even before I started it, lol. After hours of self-mutilation I finally managed to play a bit of the snow level (on lowest settings possible). Great. Waited for a week to play my pre-ordered game. A patch arrived. Didn't solve the problems, the game still crashed. A week after, another patch was out and I could finally enjoy my pre-order benefits. It's kinda funny, right? Well, it's not.

    Now a few words about the game. It is 11/10, seriously. The plot, the game mechanics, the everything is amazing. There are no words to describe it, you MUST play it.

    So. I think Rockstar HAVE TO APPOLOGIZE for this buggy non-sense and give some sort of reward for those who pre-ordered the game and was down by its state. This will at least show they care more than just like "hey, we made a patch, here you go, shut up". Correct me if I'm wrong.

    It features a spectacular story with characters one can genuinely become invested in, a plethora of choices which have lasting consequences, and even ways to atone, but not undo, mistakes you may have made along the way.

    As for the direct port of the game from console to PC:

    -- Movement is clunky, unresponsive and at times makes little sense. Horses don't like taking four directional inputs and prefer a radial input offered by a controller, and this makes them unwieldy to control. It feels like the horse tries to go in the camera direction, ignoring your key inputs, then suddenly switches to following the key inputs or will occasionally stop and turn back to favor roads.

    -- Shooting becomes tedious when the character won't automatically cycle their firearms. This becomes especially tedious with repeaters, where gunfights become a fight between who can break their M1 button the quickest.

    -- An extra launcher, even for the Steam release, is entirely unnecessary. This dependency makes updating the game difficult and occasionally frustrating, as it can completely corrupt the game files if the Rockstar launcher fails an update. This update process doesn't warn a computer shutdown and isn't alerted on Steam, either.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Отличная игра!!! 1. Анимации великолепны, мне этот медленный процесс обыскивания трупа, перемещения в лагере очень зашёл. Это как раз часть того что создаёт эту непередаваемую атмосферу.
    2.Скачки на лошади интересны первые 10 часов, как раз тот период когда скакать в основном много не приходится (от лагеря к Валентайну) потом это надоедает и как раз в тот момент ты находишь для себя фаст трэвел. Денег он требует не много, но что бы найти его тебе придётся прокачать палатку Датча , а потом палатку Артура. Мне это кажется странным решением поскольку в журнале есть много полезных улучшений я улучшил палатку Датча в последнюю очередь лишь потом осознав что еще одно улучшение даст мне возможность быстрого перемещения. Это минус.
    3.Сюжет меня зацепил. Были просадки в начале когда тебе казалось что ты выполняешь сайд квесты , но к середине он начинает набирать темп с невероятной скоростью . По мере изменения Артура к концу я менялся вместе с ним и если вначале я грабил все что мог , то к концу я отыгрывал свою роль и доживал свою жизнь достойно. Поворот с Микой был предсказуем, но все равно неплох. Концовка просто потрясающая ( у меня Артур умер на вершине горы и не от выстрела).
    4.Персонажи. Почти все запоминающиеся и хорошо проработаны. Вообщем тут плюс.
    5.Технически она тоже шикарна , но это признали наверное что все.

    Подводя итоги я процитирую одного великого человека и скажу - что если не таким играм прощать их недостатки , то каким прощать?

    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.

    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)

    This game will drive you around the bend as you play...while there are hints as far as keys to push...there is no page with a list of controls...you learn as you go. If you are trying to play in full screen and things don't work you are in for some misery. I rolled 3 characters before I got the "card thing" to work.

    The Online mode is much like checking yourself into a prison where everyone carries a shiv.. Some players will kill you for your horse and can also kill you for your camp. This can be two on one. They won't just do this in a town...also out in the boonies.

    So I ended up living on game and herbs and riding the poor grey nag. I will only play the Online mode if PvP is able to be shutoff. The PvE stuff in Online is difficult enough. There is NO MOTIVATION to improve your outfit and position when everything can be stolen. And at any time when you meet another player your are tempted to just blow them away to protect what little you have.

    This said...the play in Online mode is interesting and complex...too bad about the play because it could be fun. I enjoyed the hunting, horse, and survival play.

    I'll play the Story mode in windowed mode for now.

    *UPDATE After a 3G update I can now play in full screen mode using Nvidia's settings. I think.

    My reco? For the online mode...start off EASY...don't get trigger-happy. What you deal with in the game depends on your rep...get a bad rep and a lot of bad stuff comes your way. There are many temptations that will come your way. I'd avoid most. You do need to take on various tasks for $....but don't try to get rich quick? Start with the player vs game tasks for $ and avoid interacting with other players until you get some experience...it's too easy to go down the rabbit hole with an itchy finger.

    My modus operandi is to just learn to hunt and deal with my horse...cooking/crafting and so forth. When you get used to the game and the controls...then you might branch out...but if you go the outlaw way you will be a lookin' at trouble pardner..

    When the controls wouldn't let me interact with the guy at the PO..I started shooting the place up...thus my rep took a hit. Plus the controls are still a bit wonky..kind of a bummer when you hit a key and punch out your own horse...mine kicks back. Tried to interact with a woman at a house and I punched her.

    I'm rating this at 8 now. Good for me...

    Red Dead Redemption 2 is the second installment in the Red Dead series serving as a prequel for the Famed Red Dead Redemption. Genre is action adventure. The expectations for this game were great: the fans of the series knew what they could expect and everyone else was brought on by the 250 M spend on marketing alone. That is an incredible sum of money, absurd even. The game was finallyRed Dead Redemption 2 is the second installment in the Red Dead series serving as a prequel for the Famed Red Dead Redemption. Genre is action adventure. The expectations for this game were great: the fans of the series knew what they could expect and everyone else was brought on by the 250 M spend on marketing alone. That is an incredible sum of money, absurd even. The game was finally released in 2018 with high praises but without a PC version. The version for Windows finally came more than year later, but the PC release was very quiet and for a good reason. The PC version of this game is an afterthought at best. Virtually nothing got adjusted for the specific condition of a PC gaming and that brings this game down significantly even before you start playing. But once you do start playing and once you get through the unnecessarily long and frankly quite boring intro/tutorial, things start to get better, much better. Lets discuss some of these positives now. First of all: the atmosphere. The sheer feeling of belonging in the gang, the feeling of togetherness around a late night campfire, the atmosphere of the wild west meeting the belle époque. That is pure gold, absolute mastery, I do not how to describe it with words, you have to play the game to understand. This atmosphere obviously ties closely with the main storyline. At that is fantastic as well. It is massive in size, maybe a little shorter than Witcher 3. But it is also well written and surprisingly (for me) unpredictable. Also the overall mood of the story is getting progressively darker and gloomier as you play, without a happy end. That is also not common for a American mainstream story writing. Next thing I must mention is the graphics: it is stunningly beautiful with some breathtaking sceneries and great and realistic coloring. One thing stands out though: the animations. They are very well done and more importantly there is just so many of them. Really you get an animation for every little gesture, every little obscure motion that only happens once in a side quest has got its own animation. It is something I noticed repeatedly and it is where you will realize the incredible cost of this game (well worth it in this instance). Game font also deserves praise. The music is great, particularly the campfire songs. One thing I cannot mention enough is the sheer size of the game and the versatility of activities you can do around it. Or just the hours and hours of optional banter in the camp and in towns. It is just amazing. But not everything in this game is. Actually there is a surprisingly long list of things I did not like. I already mentioned the problems of the PC version, but it relates to other problems. One such problem stands and looms over all others though. It is the save system of this game. It is hands down the worst save system I have ever seen in a video game. No saves would be better than this. I cannot possibly understand what compelled the developers to make the game save automatically after you just died and then not save at all for two hours of gameplay. It is truly horrible. The wanted system is nowhere near as bad as the save system, but it could use an overhaul in my opinion. Generally it is more bothersome than dangerous and sometimes it does not work as it should. The menus are unnecessarily complicated and confusing same as the in game inventory. I am sure these problems are related to the console version and should have definitely been redone for the PC version. Weapons are funny and plentiful, but the constantly get unequipped from you during cutscenes and there is no ability to drop weapons which is kind of stupid. While the graphics is generally really nice, there are some aspects of it I did find lacking in quality, namely rain and leaves. There are no microtransactions in the single player per se, although the special editions are pretty greedy. And finally we get to the SJW. Sadly I have to say, it is pretty prevalent throughout the game, the developers took every chance to educate us on the values of progressive society and frankly I do not like being force fed often politically motivated SJW crap. If at least it could be worked into the story so it would feel somewhat natural, but alas almost all these SJW moments are handled with the typically American cuckold mentality. Just to name some of these moments: the civil war, the slaver, the racist, the klan, the indians, women voting, Mr. Black and Mr. White (really?) or Mrs. Sadie Adler. I cannot remember hating any character in a video game more than Sadie. When she got stabbed in the epilogue, I got my hopes up, but of course, she survived.

    I do not want to end on a bad note. Red Dead Redemption absolutely deserves praise, certain aspects of it are amazing, genre defining even, but there are indisputable problems and negatives to this game, that rarely get mentioned. I wish I could go higher, but I cannot. Final verdict: 72 %

    Минусы: Практически нет вариативности в заданиях, туннельный сюжет, мало активностей, довольно скучный, долго тянущийся сюжет, однообразный геймплей.

Most of the negative reviews are: “Bugs, lags, it didn’t start.” If you buy a game now, you will not encounter any of these problems. RDR2 online has many problems, if you buy a game for its sake, it’s better to refuse the purchase, after a year it’s dead.

    A strong 7/10. Beautiful craftsmanship held back by a weak and poorly paced narrative and some outdated mechanics.

    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.

    The game itself is amazing, the gameplay feels great, the story is by far the best part, the graphics are unbelievable, and the online portion is way better than anything that GTA Online EVER had to offer.

    Optimization is fine on my brother's 1060 and 6600k, my wife's 5700XT and 2600, and my 9900k and 2080ti (none of those are OC'd in any way).

    You barely have to interact with the Rockstar Game Launcher that everyone claims is a plague on this game. This is your interaction with said launcher; hit "play" on either Steam or Epic Launcher, the Rockstar launcher opens a small window for roughly five seconds, then it goes away and the game launches.
    In summation, give it a shot if you have the money, if it's not what you're into then make like the rest of these people and get yourself a refund while you write negative reviews.

    Hello everyone!

    tl;dr - bad first impression because of the technical issues, but what an amazing game! RDR2 is probably the best game since Mafia I.

    After a bad first encounter with RDR2 PC, I finally started playing it seriously in the last couple of weeks. I have to admit that before this it gave me headaches, I even contacted the Rockstar support and had a furious email exchange with them. I was so frustrated with my experience with this game that I wasn't sure I will ever play it again. It is not allright paying the bill for a AAA title and having stability and performance issues. It ruined my first impression and I had to wait almost 4 months to give it a second try, and boy was it worth it!

    This is probably the best PC game since Mafia I, at least for me. It offers the same level of immersion, character development, but with impressive graphics and a more compelling open world than any other game I have played. And the story is looong and does not feel exagerated, nor boring. It is a cinema-like experience and I confess I took so many screenshots with the Photo Mode that I have reached Social Club's limit of 200 photos. Luckily for me AMD offers good screen capturing without limit; let the photos go on!

    Issues I had with RDR2 PC:
    - issues using HDR on my Sony XF90 TV => I had to setup AMD Display HDR color output, tinker with the TV settings and with the in-game HDR settings too in order to have good output; plus, for some reason if I keep my TV as a seconday Display I sometimes lose HDR. My solution is to set the TV as the only display when I am playing (Win10, Notifications button, Project, Second Screen Only)
    - performance issues => had to watch more than half an hour of tutorials and adjust each and every graphic setting individually to be able to run the title at 2k 60FPS with good visuals (running on a Ryzen 7 2700x 3.7Ghz 8core/16thread, 16GB RAM 3000Mhz, SX8200Pro NVMe SSD, AMD RX5700XT 8GB GPU)
    - the title is unstable on my rig when using the DX12 instead of Vulkan (tried DX12 and had 2 crashes in 4 hours, had to revert to Vulkan which from all benchmarks I've seen appears to have more FPS drops (those 0.1% and 1% lows))
    - I keep receiving a warning message each time I continue the Story - "an autosave already exists, overwrite it?"; no clue why or how to fix this, but it did not affect me so far, just a small nuisance.

    All in all, I forgive Rockstar for the issues this game had and still has. It is a master piece that every PC gamer out there should try. If you get past the first few hours of RDR2 you will never give it up. An unbelievable achievement, and already one of my fav all time games. I am currently around 54% of the story and I am hooked! If you were disappointed at first like I was, give it another go. You won't regret it. Enjoy!

    Играю в игру первый день, и не пойму, откуда столько хайпа. Забавные ситуации:
    - убил кого-то, тут же появился свидетель. Тычешь ему пушкой в лицо, говоришь, мол, подумай, а он орет, что ты убийца, и бежит дальше, несмотря на пули, летящие в зад;
    - еду на коняшке, у дороге стоит 2 бандита, и целится в жертву. Подхожу к ним, говорю, не нужно так. Они в меня стреляют. Я их убиваю.

    - та же самая ситуация, когда вижу человека, обыскивающей труп у дилижанса;
    - вижу, грабят чей-то дилижанс, помогаю, спасенный говорит, что дилижанс не его, он просто прохожий, и я могу забрать дилижанс. Я его забираю, привожу в лагерь, мне пишет, что я не могу приезжать на дилижансе в лагерь, я его оставляю рядом, и он пропадает после загрузки;
    - шкуры животных негде хранить, нет ни сундука, ни стойки, ничего. Шкуру можно или продать, или - выкинуть;
    - законники обладают телепортацией и связью. Стоит начать любую разборку со сторонники НПС, и законники будут бесконечно телепортироваться прямо под вас. Их можно убить 100-200-300, не важно, они бесконечны;
    - ограбить поезд невозможно из-за предыдущего пункта. Не важно, в каком пустыре вы находитесь;
    - у квестов есть 2 варианта ответов: да/нет, или пойду сам/пошлю компаньона.

    Когда меня бьют, я боюсь ударить в ответ, что бы тут же не попасть в розыск. Какой-то не дикий запад, а симулятор тотального полицейского государства. Вместо городов, где боятся быть шерифами, мы получаем армию федералов, которая по средствам спецсвязи и телепортации всегда прибудет на любой зов.

    Игра была бы хороша, как интерактивный фильм. Как версия низкобюджетной компании. Как демка. В этих случаях я бы поставил очень хорошую оценку. Но, когда ты везде слышишь, какая она бесподобная, заходишь в нее, а там - такое, то, извините. Неоправданные ожидания очень сильно бьют по рейтингу. Причем, заметьте, я не пишу про техническую часть, баги, оптимизацию, качество портирования с консоли и т.д.

    Из плюсов, мне сильно понравился покер. Когда ходишь вокруг стола, смотришь, как НПС сдают карты, держат их в руках, делают ставки, а потом ты садишься к ним за стол, и играешь вместе с ними - это очень круто. Я, даже, попытался найти какой-то 3D покер, где можно посидеть в друзьями, и поиграть по "скайпу", ни ничего подобного не нашел. Покер изумительный. Игра могла бы быть хорошей, если бы что-то сделали с законниками. А так, можно или поставить мод с какой-то телепортацией и чисто пройти сюдет, или ждать каких-то модов, где вас перестанут убивать бесконечные законники, хотя бы за самозащиту.

    -Missions give the player little to none freedom on how to perform it.
    -Their future releases on the game focus too much on MP, which I'm not very found of.

    Anyway, this game is a masterpiece. It's worth on full price.

    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.
