    Неплохо бы нанять хотя бы одного (!) тестера, перед тем, как запускать игру на ПК. Но, видимо, Rockstar слишком бедная студия, чтобы иметь в своем штате (или на аутсорсе) людей, занимающихся проверкой работоспособности игры, которую на ПК ждут сотни тысяч (если не миллионы) людей.Неплохо бы нанять хотя бы одного (!) тестера, перед тем, как запускать игру на ПК.

    -The rockstar games launcher is complete garbage
    -The optimization after getting through the launcher somehow I still don’t know how I did it a few times, It’s so bad that when The game kicks you out, and it will, good luck trying to re-launch and play again I have literally no idea how catch they released this in the state it’s in

    * I’m running and Intel core i9 with 64 GB of RAM an RTX 2080 TI (Zotech ampe extreme core) 2 Samsung pro 4tb ssds (in raid zero) and a 2tb m.2 Everything is fully water cooled and overclocked to the absolute max, juiced every ounce out of this $17,000 rig, my Average frame rates stay between 30 and 50 FPS, I literally have to drop the settings down to high and some even medium to even come close to achieving a solid 60fps Possibly the worst optimized game I have ever had the displeasure of playing

    And this is after already purchasing it on the Xbox one X @rockstar Was it worth launching your launcher down our throat by force all to get a matacritic score of under 3 on game that was rated one of the highest rated games of the year when it launched on Consoles? If there’s ever a lesson to be learned it’s from things like this if you’re going to force something down peoples throat launchers exclusives etc. make sure you get it right,

    But after what they did to PC. I will newer preorder any games from them. 2080ti - 30 fps on 4K. Is this a JOKE or something? Grafic are not way better then GTAV! And what about recomended system requirments? Does 25 fps on 1060

    Does 25 fps on 1060 at low settings you think optimal? You are CRAZY ROCKSTAR. And your reputation fall to the bottom because of this PC port.

    Everything works awesome from day one.
    I had only one issue with Dualshock 4, it does not recognized by the game.
    Everything else is pretty much great, only optimization could be little better (in 4K ultra settings only 30-40 FPS).

    I am very frustrated with Take Two Interactive/Rockstar Games. I spent over 200$ to upgrade my pc to the recommended specifications and I am met with severe cpu spiking and constant freezes that make the game unplayable. The settings do not scale properly to allow better performance. There are many issues and bugs. I can't even properly lower my resolution without bugs appearing.

The settings do not scale properly to allow better performance. There are many issues and bugs. I can't even properly lower my resolution without bugs appearing.

    Being patronized by Rockstar to "update my drivers" was a bad move. I feel a strong presence of corporate interference with this launch. I get the impression from take two that they struck a deal with gpu companies (nvidia, amd) to coerce more players into buying high end gpu's. I'm angry that I spent money on recommended (which in my mind means 60fps at med-high settings) hardware that turns out to be subpar even on some of the lowest settings. The game runs even worse at lower settings.

    There needs to be some type of recourse for these publishers that pressure developers into pushing out subpar product. I for one will never preorder another Rockstar title after this disappointment.

    I built a pc based off the prediction of this release 2 years ago, and for this to fail as hard as it is and to be given a patronizing response over obvious greed is a real bummer.

    Shame on you Take Two/Rockstar!

    It might be a good game if I could play in it without any problem. And the hardest quest in it is to play with your friend. We spent about an hour to connect each other. Worst launch I've ever seen. And it seems that developers just don't care about us. Already week is gone but nothing changed.

    Талисманы, оружие, деньги, улучшение лагеря, охота, рыбалка, покер, исследование мира это все не интересно от слова СОВСЕМ - ТУХЛЯК. Единственная полезная вещь для крафта это сумки, но потом когда ты понимаешь что тебе
    достаточно и стандартных с головой отпадает желание искать этих животных по всей карте и тратить 20 часов на крафт. Миссии фигня полнейшая они начинаются и заканчиваются одинаково.

    Вот сценарий:
    0) Едем до квеста 5 мин
    1) Начинаем квест и едем на указанное место еще 5 мин
    2) Делаем квест еще мин 5
    3) едем назад в лагерь 5-10 мин чтобы начать новый
    Нудно...
    В игре есть репутация которая ни на что не влияет. Сначала всем помогаешь +, украл лошадь -, убил 1000 человек в городе по сюжету ничего...
    Выбора нет в сюжете вообще, ни на что влиять не можете. 2019 год найс!
    Мир огромный и пустой, квестов интересных нет. прошел игру не могу вспомнить
    ни одного момента интересного который бы удивил.
    ЕЗДА, ЕЗДА, ЕЗДА!
    Симулятор езды на лошади.

    После квестов Ведьмака 3, где любой квест был сделан на отлично,
    любой побочный квест вызывал эмоции и восторг,
    то в рдр 2 вызывает только БОЛЬ как все топорно сделано.

    Ну и вылеты тоже портят игру. Особенно когда вылетает под конец миссии и
    тебе надо опять ехать и слушать херню 15 мин...

    Самая нудная игра в которую я когда либо играл.

Brief acknowledgement and now back to radio silence. R* should be ashamed, taken millions of $ from people without delivering a product, this could only happen in the gaming world.

    It's a disgrace and having bought most of the R* titles down the years, I will never give them money again. They haven't even publicly acknowledged their failures, they just keep releasing patches that DON'T fix the game.

    I bet their QA/Test Lead is sh1tting himself currently and rightly so. Whilst I appreciate PC releases have a complexity attached on release which differs from consoles but this experience stinks of a team that hasn't tested properly. I've never had this experience with ANY other pre-ordered or purchased game.

    The fact that Gaming Media have effectively buried the issue and CNET releasing some nonsense article stating the 'majority of problems are fixed' - I don't believe it, I suspect R* have reached out as a damage limitation exercise and these **** journalists have agreed so as to not risk getting future pre-releases for review.

    If I could give a minus score I would.

    Finally, their 14 day refund policy is a joke, thieving scumbags.

    The PC version works really well. First I had crashes on startup which was caused by Bitdefender Advanced Threat Detection. Adding an exception for the game solved the problem. The game runs really well on my 2080 Ti. Playing on 4k with Ultra settings and around 40 fps.

    You can safely ignore the trolls who complain about the game not running at 60 fps in 4k with Ultra settings. The developers recommended Medium-High settings for 4k 60 fps (see the Nvidia article). Other games like Shadow of the Tomb Raider also doesn't hadle 60fps when you max out the settings on 4k. Even so, 4k Ultra settings at 40 fps is still way ahead of playing this on a console that uses Medium-High with fake 4k and 30 fps. The PC version is a big step up in visuals.

    Not gonna lie, it's probably best game I've ever played. My favourite game. But it's very bad optimized for PC. I expected better performance after GTA 5. I hope Rockstar will release a patch for this poor optimization.

    All the bad reviews are not about but game, but about the launch experience. It's non-sense to give a game like this a bad review just because of a short term problem.

    10/10 here.
    This is BY FAR the BEST game I've ever played. Nothing seems to get even close to what Rockstar Games did this time. Red Dead Redemption II is a MASTERPIECE.

    I don't know what drugs the critics who gave this 93 are using, but it's clear that they didn't play this game on PC.

    The good: 1 - World feels alive, a lot of scripted encounters and events. 2 - Really high level of detalization. The snow and mud are gorgeous. The voice acting has some nice little details, like starting shouting when your buddies are far away from you, or resuming

    The good:
    1 - World feels alive, a lot of scripted encounters and events.
    2 - Really high level of detalization. The snow and mud are gorgeous. The voice acting has some nice little details, like starting shouting when your buddies are far away from you, or resuming the discussing from the place where you stopped due to some ingame event.
    3 - Quests are mostly interesting and not repetitious.
    4 - Runs pretty good now, 2 months after release, compared to what it was on the release. The game crashed maybe 3 times for me, and there are not a lot of bugs.

    The bad:
    1 - Absolutely horrible controls for PC. Maybe for PS4 they are good, but having to guess a correct button for every action is really annoying. Why is context action sometimes executed by 'F', sometimes by 'R' and sometimes by the mouse buttons ? WTF...
    2 - No normal saves. If you die - enjoy watching a cutscene for the 5-th time. (Yes, it can be skipped by pressing F, i mean R, i mean Space)
    3 - The game is really slow. There is hardly any fast travel available, and even where it is, you are shown the same cutscene for like 30 seconds.
    4 - Enjoy riding your horse for about 30% of your gameplay time. Just to talk to some dude and then ride half the map back.
    5 - As an open world game, the plot is too straightforward. You can not influence anything by your own choices.
    6 - Soundtrack is not memorable

    Overall, if not for the absolutely horrible controls, i could give it a 8. But having to watch the right bottom side for the clue of which button i should press in every situation just kills it for me. 6/10.
    And watching as somebody compared this to Witcher 3 - lol ! I really hoped this game could achieve a half of what The Witcher 3 did, but they are just different leagues.

    There is no argument RDR2 is and amazing game, and all the tools to get the best out of your machine with the rage engine has been put at the players finger tips for the PC release. The problem is most of the PC gamers these days dont understand what any of these settings are..So in typical incell virgin rage fashion , they take to the internet to vent instead of siting down and learning about their machine and what settings suit it best.

    "" REEEE REEEEE Wahhh Wahhhh, My I5, GTX 960, only runs RDR2 at 30fps on highest settings??!?!??! WAHHHH WAHHHH This is bul **** I hate you Rock star....""
    BUY A CONSOLE, you idiots, its suits you mental capacity more than a (Oh so confusing)PC. New games ON PC has been a hassle for the las 20 plus years, there is just so many different configurations, if you dont have the brain power or time to coddle and learns everything about you specific piece of hardware , your going to have trouble.

We had problems at 5th of November(so is English government at 1605 lol) but once they released a 2gb update, it fixed everything for me. No FPS drops, no crashing etc.

    Well, as for the game, we all knew it is a masterpiece before it comes to PC. But even my expectations were so high, this game still impressed me. It's the new level of open-world after The Witcher 3. The Witcher made the side quests as good as main quests, this game makes random events as good as main quests and its not even an RPG game.

    3. Confusing control. Not just countless complicated control layouts but also ​I am surprised a game can be both over hand-holding and confusing at the same time.
    4. Inconsistent control: For instance, pointing a gun at someone's face and talking to them is the same button, especially worse when it repeatedly flicking different actions for the same button within a second.

    It's an over-hyped game overall, I would suggest you first pirate the game/borrow this game from a friend just to see the gameplay or how it runs on your computer, then buy it at the discount price.

    I will come back and edit my review if I change my mind.

    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.
