    Single player is pretty good but the online portion suffers from extremely frequent disconnects, making unplayable. The same error PC users get has been a known issue for Xbox one an PS4 users for over a year, and has yet to be fixed. Buying this title is a gamble.

    Мне, как и всему коммьюнити не понятно, почему Рокстар так поступили. Это не самая бедная студия в игропроме, скорее даже наоборот... Но их поведение, которое мы успели заметить - похоже на поведение типичной инди студии, которые допустили ошибку и спрятались.
    Самое обидно, что сами Рокстар никак на это не реагируют и не дают никаких комментариев или слов поддержки, из-за чего и рождаются подобные отзывы. Если бы ребята хотя бы подогревали интерес, даже не извиняясь, а проста держа в курсе, что работают над устранением проблем, негатива стало бы меньше. В каком то роде они меня услышали и только сегодня, спустя два дня после релиза, сказали что исправляют ошибки, вот только уже поздно.

    The game just doesn't start. Constant unexpected errors. Rockstar's Support article provides general solutions for disabling antiviruses and updating drivers, but none of them have any meaning.
    Nothing helps.

    The game was not yet ready for release on a PC. Shame.

    I've tested it with RX 580, GTX 1060 & GTX 1080 and the results are so poor that I don't even want to play this game on PC. RX 580 & GTX 1060 can't even maintain 30fps @ 1080p at high-ultra settings while I get over 80fps on max settings @ 1080p in Call of Duty Modern Warfare which is also just released. And GTX 1080 which will easily give you over 60fps @ 2k Ultra settings in almost every game, can't run this game 60fps @ 1080p. I've been getting 45fps @ 1080p Ultra with GTX 1080. This just makes me not want to play it on PC, and I've spent over 8hrs by just testing benchmark so I can't even refund the game :(
    P.S: I love RDR2 alot, its one of the best games of all time and I really enjoyed playing it on PS4 Pro even though it had blurry graphics on it but still it worked fine. I pre-order again on PC just to play it on Max settings but optimization is so bad that its just ain't gonna work, even though I have the right hardware to run it.

    For this reason, I have to rate this port

    the controls are just awful, aim either do not react to mouse movements or jumps all over the place making precision shooting pretty much impossible. moreover good old Arthur moves around any terrain with all the grace and agility of a MARK IV tank stuck in flandrian mud. though the game does look stunning even on high/medium settings, underneath all the graphical Innovation game and mission design haven't evolved one bit since San Andreas, drive to a point, do shooty-shooty, watch cutscene. you can't go off the beaten path, you can't get creative with your tactics, you're not a player you're an actor on a set of a tyrant-director and you will follow the script to a letter, mister! not to mention half the time with all the autorides, autoaims, autodialogues and the rest of "helpful" automated systems it feels like the damn game plays itself! no particupation required.
    I can't believe I'm saying this but this game should've stayed on consoles. it's designed and meant to be played like a pure console game: with controller in one hand and a can of beer in a another, moving one stick and pushing one button

    2- Anything causes someone to report you and have to lose money paying for the reward.
    3- Every mission has bugs and glitches.
    4- Conflict with gangs you always die because the life system is horrible.
    5- You spend more time getting around the map than actually playing.
    6. The legendary animal hunting system has tracking flaws and if you hunt the animal and die for anything, you simply lose the animal.
    7- It is impossible to commit crimes without having to deal with witnesses (idiot).

    Anyway, the game has a beautiful setting and a cool story, but if it were just for that I would rather see a movie, NOT A GAME.

    The cool thing is that as I played for more than two hours, I can't get refunded. Congratulations RockStar for fooling me into making me buy a game that isn't fit to play.

Crashes, texture bugs. 5 second CPU freezes every now and then… I believe this is the worst pc port of the generation considering that Rockstar had all the time and money in the world to work on the PC version.
    Media outlets must have received big money from Rockstar. The game may be

    Media outlets must have received big money from Rockstar. The game may be good, but the product is downright terrible as is. The critic rating is disrespectful to all PC customers. Shame on you for supporting a broken piece of software.

    Legit made an account for this because im so pissed gonna start with the TLDR version: if you have a great computer then play the single player if you have a decent or worse computer play single player with low settings but do not buy this for the multiplayer

    I have been trying to play this game with 2 of my friends who live in my state and for whatever reason we can't be in the same lobby. This is a legit fun game and when im not perma-stuck talking to cripps or dc'ing due to a "rockstar error" then it is really fun and a beautiful game. Those moments are few and far between though. If you are looking to buy this game for the multiplayer wait until they get their **** together because the server disconnecting us as soon as we join the same free roam is not my idea of fun. Garbage servers, I have a ridiculous computer and I can't play because of something I can't fix or help... Rockstar get your **** together

    I'm giving it a 0 because the online portion of the game is a joke. Every 5 minutes you get a 0x20010006 error code that has no fix as well as an issue where the fps drops to 2. The support asks you on twitter to make a ticket for assistance yet they don't respond to you. If this wasn't an issue the game would be amazing and I'd have a blast online.

    Red Dead has been my favorite series for over a decade, and I've been anticipating this release for nearly four years.

    However, Rockstar took $80 and gave me a broken game. 8 second+ freezes every twenty seconds. CTDs every thirty minutes. After the launcher update, it simply won't start.

    For such a huge and famous company, it’s just a shame to release a game without optimization and with so many bugs and crashes. This is disrespect for people who have been waiting for years for the game, who paid their hard-earned money for pre-ordering the game and bought specifically video cards like 1660ti, 2060 (s), and get 30-40 fps on them at full hd resolution. Are you seriously?For such a huge and famous company, it’s just a shame to release a game without optimization and with so many bugs and crashes.

    No statements from the company, no explanations, no actions, the feeling that you just do not care about users.
    Good job, great release. We are all waiting for changes and apologies for this disgrace, and I advise you to begin to execute faster as long as not all anger has fallen on you.

    Never wrote any reviews, but this sh** made me to. Guys don't buy this game. I could only launch it for 16 minutes (as epic tells me) and after that I've got a crash. I am not able to launch it more. Any suggestions in web and from developer don't help.
    And a watercooled Titan Xp couldn’t run it in 1080p on ultra.
    I think that nvidia asked Rockstar for such “optimizations”. RTX sales promo.

    The absolute minimum you'd expect from a game is to actually be able to play it, RDR2 on the PC is stuck behind the absolute biggest steaming pile of horse manure launcher platform in existence. Forget reviewing the game, thats impossible because the game doesnt even load.

    13 months of waiting, 1,5 hours of decrypting the game 2 seconds after the game was relatively available to play, 10 minutes of installing 3 GB of garbage files to "validate" the game files and two full hours with 2 crashes, the failed benchmark option that took me straight to the main screen, and the two next days trying to fully process why I spent my well earned 60 bucks on this rushed, insanely poor optimized masterpiece.

    Didnt complain about the vomitive ports we received 11 years ago with GTA IV and Bully on Steam, nor with the awful L.A. Noire 30 FPS cap, even I tolerated that GTA V was launched 1,3 years after the next gen and we didnt received nothing but in-game premium currency and non-single-player content, but this is a real FCKING shame and Rockstar owes the PC Community a million apologizes. A million.

    Not only we do have to wait one more year to see our GOTY wishlist games to be launched to our devoted platform, but we also have to be content with a shady developer whose prime directives consists on signing exclusive contracts to see them endorsed to the console platforms for 1 full year and abusing their 2 latest releases (excellent on single-player content) to see them only focused on their dull online attributes.

    My setup consists on a pretty decent 1660Ti, plus a bit outdated i5 7400 plus 16 GB of RAM. The joke about this? The most sterile scene in the game, and the first, some snowy planes, brings death to my FPS. 40 frames per second on Low-Mid settings? Impossible...

    If you wish to see this game bloom and get to a healthy state of performance, keep post abismal reviews and Twitter, so maybe R* becomes fully aware of this tremendoulsy terrible issue and they finally update the game with a quality-of-life patch, not like the futile placebo composed by 5 minor fixes thay they made 48 hours ago.

    I'm going to get the good out of the way first. It has lovely visuals, good acting, good performance, and a story which could possibly become quite interesting along the road.

    Now the bad. This game is a **** mess. The need to make every single action as realistic as possible has made it a slog to play. After about ten hours I looked back at my time with the game and realised I hadn't enjoyed a single minute of it.

    You want to get somewhere fast? Well you can't run in towns. You can't fast travel. You can ride your horse, but if you sprint too much it will throw you off. If you accidentally clip a rock or tree it will throw you off. Now go play in a world FULL of rocks and trees. If you don't brush the horse enough, it won't obey you. Get off the horse at any point to look at something and it will wander off. If it goes too far it won't return when you call for it.

    You want to play a story mission? I hope you're prepared for a long journey to a random destination alongside another character. No, you can't skip it. Yes, you have to press the controls to make your horse travel the entire way, even though you have a set path.

    You want to get on with the plot? Well sorry but you need to make sure your character eats or he will die. You have to have baths or the game will force you. You have to shave. You have to return to camp to change your clothes depending on the randomly generated weather because if it's too sunny and you're wearing a heavy coat, you'll overheat and die.

    You want to hunt? First you have to go through a lengthy tracking section, then you have to sneak up on the animal, shoot it in the right spot or you'll damage the pelt. Then you need to skin it in a lengthy animation, carry the carcass back to your horse, and take it all the way home to sell and craft. If you don't go back quick enough, it will rot and the whole exercise will be pointless. Oh, and only a small fraction of the animals have pristine pelts anyway - the others are worthless.

    Your hat got knocked off during a fight? Spend 30 seconds finding it and picking it up.

    You want to search a house for loot? Awkwardly steer your character towards every drawer and cupboard, then watch the lengthy opening animation, then the animation of collecting each item.

    You want to loot dead bodies after a fight? You need to hold down a button so your character lumbers into the right position, then does a long looting animation. Then you need to do that for EVERY enemy.

    There is not a single element of this game which is not made unpleasant to play by awkward, sluggish, time consuming controls.

    The 2/10 rating I have given it is PURELY for the stunning visuals and acting.

    This game took 2,500 people 8 years and a quarter of a billion dollars to make. And they made a **** mess.

    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.
