    Although single play was very interesting, on-line, the problem is serious Bugs that interfere with play are scattered, its level is not beta, but an early access game

Servers are super bad half the time when someone shoots at you and misses there shot but somehow you see blood in mid air saying they hit you type of bad servers where people are not always were they are. Some people use this bad servers to exploit people with average wifi and you dont need the best wifi because its all the same. Tested it on a much bigger wifi and a low one and game play is the same with such bad servers. They say they fixed server or game crashes but they still have not. They are thinking about the money first before the people. It has a lot of fake reviews/ people they payed to rate it good. High ratings should be flawless with constant updates. As of right now they are going to take months which could be for them 2-5 months just to release the game update that should bring out the game from beta but not promising to fix the servers. Out of all the online i played there are about 2 people for like showdowns who lag all over and everyone else are not. Most of the reviews are form kids who dont know a good game from a bad one that buggy or they are the ones abusing the bugs. There are some glitches that are not fix ether and hate when im running buy and get killed by a guy who is under the ground at most of the docks or in walls where you cant fight back. Could give a list of names of people who did it to me but they wont do nothing. As of right now they should make online separate and charge 5 dollars for it since its to bad. They are focusing on other games than this one and only feels like 1 person working on the game why its taking so long. If you knew your going to make an online wouldn't you make the online when your close to being done, this is what makes it one big joke that makes it worst than a lot of games. Supposed to get new cloths in game like weeks ago and then they pushed it back to months. As in 2-5months. Then they will start on dlc.… Expand

    DO NOT BUY!! There is an error with their server that they refuse to fix. Millions of consumers cannot play this game and they're not fixing this issue. If you buy and are unlucky like some, you've wasted your money. This game had potential, I'm sure the ones that get to play it, enjoy it. Most of us cannot play and are cheated out of money.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Boring as **** It starts off really slow and when the world does open up you are stuck in an endless loop of fetch quests and some of the worst combat ever. The side quests which this game gets praised so much for are nothing special. They are all the same, requiring you to gather an item or kill some thing. I wonder why a game like Assassin's Creed 3 did not get praised as much as this even though it had meaningful, story-driven, well written side quests in 2012? Why didn't that game get similar critical acclaim? Its combat system and characters are also a million times better.

    Another big problem I have with this game is the Arthur Senses mechanic (another way to say "Detective Mode"). This is basically same as the detective mode you find in Arkham games. But unlike those games where that mode is meaningful and helps locate enemies when you are surrounded by dozens of them and do not want to get spotted, the Witcher 3's Witcher senses serve no purpose. They are mainly used in those 'murder mystery' solving like scenarios where you walk around with the mode and everything is highlighted. You go up to the highlighted item or location and click a button and you do the same until the trail ends. I get no satisfaction out of this type of gameplay. I'm not solving any mystery. I'm just pushing buttons at the place where the game wants me to. Basically, I'm letting the game play itself.

    Even its most highly praised quests are the same. You need to find the plan, a plan to get money who is like a important figure for Dutch so he just goes around asking for her and for a little piece of information they ask him to do a favour for him and this is where the bulk of the game's story is. You doing stuff for other people who tell you to go meet next person who may know where the plan is and then you doing a favour for them, rinse and repeat. Yet this is being hailed as "great writing". If this is great writing and storytelling then I'm sorry but that only means that video games have an incredibly low standard when it comes to storytelling.

    This game does nothing that hasn't been done before. Its main quests are nothing more than the countless fetch quests you find in a game like Skyrim.    … Expand

    Great graphics, boring gameplay. This is probably the Budget of the Year game for Marketing! not for gaming. Rockstar is working too explicitly to bring high point reviews here, all of their PR is driving people to metacritic, just to recover their score. Come on Rockstor, you produced a good game, but can not live up to hype. You can't buy reviews with false advertising.

    Honestly the most boring thing I have ever played. I'm hours and hours in, and I have yet to find a reason for why this is even a videogame. I haven't made any decisions as a player the entire time (neither narrative nor ludic) - all I've done is hold X to go toward somewhere, wait a very long time, then hold the square button to do what the game wants me to do there.

    Like, imagine a western film, but instead of utilizing montage, Sergio Leone instead makes you watch Clint ride his horse from town to town in real time. Also, once in a while he makes you play some Big Buck Hunter to get to the next scene. How does this improve the experience at all?

    To be perfectly honest I was let down by two main factors. the main one being horse mechanics along with the fact that you literally spend 30% of the game on horseback which is incredibly tedious. The second being the story which towards the end was unfortunately a let down for me.

    Horrible gameplay...perhaps the worst in any game to date. Everything from movement, to interacting to gunplay feels clumsy, slow and unsatisfying.
    And despite all the effort that went into world simulation, game, like every Rockstar game fails miserably at crime system.
    How the "journalists" managed to not criticize this, is absolutely unbelievable, considering this composes 95% of the game.

    1. The gameplay is very mediocre. Shooting feels boring, there's no difference between guns and they all act like water guns. The enemy AI is pretty dumb, the enemies are dangerous only when you are alone and significantly outnumbered.
    2. The storyline is incredibly stupid - the characters act like absolute morons and the dialogs are one big cliche.

The gameplay is not that good, the open world is extremely detailed yet EMPTY, people saying that this game is a new standard for video game open worlds are wrong, everything within this games open world has been done since morrowind. Its nothing new, just another open world game where all you do is ride your horse for 12 minutes to shoot one guy, having a big world does not mean its a good world, look at any modern bethesda open world game they may not be the biggest but they are the most detailed, content rich and absolutely packed with something to see, do talk to look at, pick up. RDR2 suffers from the open world game curse, where they think big and empty is better than small and full.

    Unbelievably slow paced to the point its baffling to see how anyone can see this as fun. With the added bonus of the characters leading you around by the nose to make sure you get all the story or else. Lets also not forget the pointless scoring system that constantly gives you bronze for not playing the game to their standards, while also not telling you what they expect till after the mission.

    The game itself dropped a massive spoiler during the single player story, two thirds of the way in, essentially telling the player a major final outcome of the game.

    The game itself dropped a massive spoiler during the single player story, two thirds of the way in, essentially telling the player a major final outcome of the game.

    The horses are constantly running into nonexistent objects, as if the horse hit-boxes are far larger than the horse itself. You'll be riding along and then suddenly appear to hit an invisible wall, potentially resulting in the death of you and even your horse. Your horse will also make giant leaps over nonexistent objects and again if it lands badly, you might die.

    You will run into a lot of trees, until with much relief you find out that you need to allow your horse to navigate them for you, except that relief soon goes down the toilet when you find that your horse will happily run you into trees by itself too.

    And continuing on the massive hit-box theme, your horse will often get stuck in small or nonexistent objects, so that you cannot move. This really sucks if you're trying to complete a mission against the clock or have baddies after you and sucks even more in PvP.

    In PvP, making money is a slow tedious struggle, so many people have been resorting to exploiting glitches and fighting over the regions where those glitches are triggered.

    If you try to make money in legitimate ways, if the game does not screw you, other players will. Expect your horse, laden with perfect pelts for sale, to be killed by griefers, causing you to lose all your hard earned resources.

    And if you do manage to get to an NPC that you should be able to sell your items to, expect them to be unresponsive for some reason. Just standing there, staring into space like zombies, with no option to interact with them. Then suddenly some griefer rides up and kills you and your horse while you were trying to figure out why the NPC is frozen. Never mind, you don't need that NPC now, since all your items have been destroyed.

    Oh and controller response is awful. Very laggy and inconsistent.

I found that game and this game to be frustrating in the same way.

    The horse-riding mechanics are terrible, and the game is so profoundly slow and over-indulgent that it takes me completely out of it. Yes, they achieve a level of complexity rarely seen in any video game, but they do it at the expense of a smooth and enjoyable gaming experience. They almost dare you to continue through the absurdly boring and long horsey rides down path after path of their admittedly gorgeous snow-filled landscape. I've only played for a few hours, but I can already tell that this was a mistake of a purchase for me.

    From reading the comments and the endless 10 ratings, I can really only assume that people are going off Rockstar's reputation for making good games. Or maybe they're bots. I'm not sure. But I really can't believe they, IGN and the other game "reviewing" companies are playing the same game I am. The whole thing seems like an intricately decorated, lovingly nurtured, completely hollow experience.

    I am pressing four or five buttons at once at any given time, just to ride and shoot at the same time, or to look through my satchel, or to add things from my satchel to my wheel (which is useless). The "dead eye" thing also has yet to make its purpose known to me.

    To anyone like me who decided to buy this game based on the hype without looking at the reality of the game mechanics, I'd suggest making sure you like this kind of game before dropping 60 bucks.    … Expand

    Dusted off the old PS4 for just for this game, couldn't be more disappointed. Game is slow, boring, the mechanics are garbage, and it doesn't look nearly as good as expected. Too many boring chores and tasks to complete.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. HORRIBLE controls, slow fps when gun fights start and now all the weapons that used to be accurate are ALL junk. it takes several shots to kill players with headshots from a not too far distant. you have to be at a rocks throw distance to kill players with a one head shot. when you are rifles distance away it now takes several shots. the ai's are stupid as hell, when you try to defend your self in the towns you end up becoming a criminal and when you try to clear out the gang hideouts sometimes you become the criminal if an AI escapes and tells the sherrif. the horses movements are extremly clumsy and when you call them they never come to you, you have to run half the map to reach your horse.
    this game is fastly moving towards a GTA wannabe, next thing they will add is flying carriges and overly explosives weapons. which they already did by adding the explosive bow and arrow. what a stupid thing to add especially when playing in a pvp match or a free for all map where spaces are limited or tight someone uses an explosive arrow and its not even a fun fight. its just stupid.
    the people making these games are obviously just implimenting the same crap that was added to the GTA series.
    What a waste of money.

    for some nice things, the games graphics are nice to see when you arent in a gun fight and the animals in the game act very cool.

    the rest of the game sucks    … Expand

    It’s an huge, outstanding piece of art – worth the hard-earned cash as well as countless hours that are needed to get to know at least some of the attractions of Rockstar’s rendition of Wild West. For those who put story first – the biggest virtue of Red Dead Redemption 2 is that it sets the stage for RDR 1 and does it wonderfully. [13/2018, p.40]
