Another 8-10 hours were more like "Yeah, ok... whatever... i'll go on that mission to see what's next". But after 16+ hours i had to force myself to continue. I didn't like the story anymore (we're a gang, we're robbin, some guy got caught, we're bailing him out yadda yadda yadda), i didn't find the characters that much interesting. The world is empty, the side-activities are not engaging unless you're an achievement hunter (yeah yeah, hunt all epic animals, fight all gunslingers, collect all dinosaur bones, collect all cigarette pictures, *yaaaawn*). The missions are pretty much the same gameplay-wise (save for some exceptions): you ride a horse for 10 mins to start a mission, you ride a horse for 5 minutes listening to random stuff, you shoot 10 guys, you ride a horse for 5 minutes. Most of the time the world doesn't even react to the fact the you just shot tons of people (unlike when you punch someone by mistake).
    I just can't continue playing this, this is too boring.    … Expand

It is extremely ambitious and tries to set itself apart from other more formulaic open world titles, but unfortunately not all of it works out. RDR2 greatly emphasizes realism, which is impressive the first few hours, but the extremely slow and cumbersome actions lose their novelty after the first act, and end up creating endless tedium, as the simplest tasks imaginable slow the pace of the game down to a crawl. Speaking of pacing, this game has a serious pacing issue. The lack of effective fast travel means that you will spend about 70% of your playtime riding your horse from one place to another, and while the random encounters in the world are unique and interesting, there isn't nearly enough of them to fill out the absolutely massive - and ultimately empty - open world. One problem that resulted from this was that I stopped pursuing side quests entirely because of the absurd time investment required to ride across the map to your destination. in conclusion, RDR2 is an ambitious game that offers some unique and highly polished content, but truthfully - I struggled to finish the game because of the absolutely molasses-like pacing.… Expand

    Close but no cigar. Hard to evaluate as for me it somehow lacks that magical interaction with characters so captivating in the very best games such as Last of us or Tw3. This is an interesting and even stunning world BUT THIS IS NOT MY WORLD contrary to the 2 mentioned.

But, thats the fault of the ps4 pro.

    This game is NOT for everyone, i do understand the negative reviews by some players, saying that you ride a horse for 10 mins to kill 2 people and ride back 10 mins back to the camp. Yes, this is how the game plays. Its slow, makes you do alot of pointless things. But it adds realism to the gameplay.

    If youre looking for a serious, adventure game with an excellent story and an open wolrd? This is a game for you.

I go into town and rob a store and escape (i was wearing a bag over my head) and get a bounty on my head. i come back some time later in completely different clothes, guns, and a beard so there is absolutely no way anyone should know who i am but i still am recognized by a random lawman and i am wanted again and being chased. How exactly is that supposed to make sense? Whats the point of bandannas or bags over your head? (i am told this is supposed to help with the karma meter but mine still goes up and down even while wearing them sooo?) That aside i never could make much money in the early stages of the game thanks to this so the i had a hard time at the start, though late game you dont really suffer on that front. The controls (the horse more so than most) felt rather clunky at times. The story was never really there for me, sure the development bewtween the side characters was pretty good but the most i got out of the actual story was "we need more money!". Lastly the game as whole felt like a chore to play considering how big the map is, believe it or not but spamming the X button over and over to run your horse 5-10 min every time you want to go somewhere gets real old real fast.

    But, story falls short, you start with 2 hours long tutorial where you follow your "buds", and the rest of the missions of the entire game are following (20 hours of game, 13 of them are following someone), the heist were fun, i guess... you can get the best horse right at the beginning of the game.
    RDR2 its fun to explore, but missions are meh, when multiplayer comes out exploration and hunt will be a big thing, but until then i give RDR2 a 6.

Começando as partes negativas do jogo, temos um começo extremamente entediante (mas entediante mesmo, tanto que eu fiquei com sono nas duas primeiras vezes que joguei e desliguei o PS4 pra dormir). Outro ponto negativo são os comandos um pouco complexos e facilmente esquecíveis, além do gerenciamento de diversas coisas. Embora na teoria fique incrível você ter que mudar de roupa dependendo do clima, alimentar o personagem e seu cavalo de acordo com o tempo, manter um nível de saúde de acordo com o peso e coisas do tipo, isso na prática fica bastante chato. Claro que com o tempo o jogador pode pegar as manhas, mas isso à princípio é bem incômodo. Um terceiro ponto que deixou a desejar e que vou "agregar" com um quarto ponto é o HUD e a mistura de legendas com instruções. A barra de energia é pequena e bem esquisita, temos a explicação de como funciona, mas o jogo segue enquanto as instruções são dadas e o jogador fica meio "perdido" entre ler as instruções e as legendas pra tentar entender a história do jogo. Nesse ponto, uma dublagem faz uma falta absurda. Um último ponto negativo, pelo menos pra nós brasileiros é o preço. R$ 250 nesse game que, pelo menos até onde eu joguei, dá pra se pensar se valeu a pena. Mas como nem tudo são espinhos no RDR2, os gráficos estão de encher os olhos. A vida silvestre está muito bem feita e é muito interessante ver os animais por perto enquanto andamos à cavalo. Outra coisa que está muito bem encaixada no jogo é sua trilha sonora, seja em ação ou em momentos mais tranquilos, a trilha sonora coloca o jogador no clima. E o que dizer da música que toca quando saímos da região de neve?! Que música! Um outro ponto positivo (que está mais pra um bônus do que um ponto positivo em si) é pra quem adquiriu o jogo em disco, ganhar um mapa da região do jogo. Enfim, o jogo começa bastante sem graça e depois ele fica mais animado. Com certeza ele será indicado ao GOTY 2018, mas no meu ponto de vista, se dependesse apenas da campanha (pois ainda vem um online e talvez esse seja o ponto forte do jogo), não venceria como jogo do ano.… Expand

    My real issue with the game is the online. I feel like it is no coincidence that the online was not available at release so the game can be rated on single player alone. I've spent a significant amount of time online now and the best way to describe the experience is probably simply 'bad' or 'not fun'. This is not because i'm bad at it, if anything i think the showdowns are too easy... You point in someone's general direction, you look slightly up to focus on their head, you wait a second for the accuracy and you shoot, rinse and repeat. It feels like they have not adapted the game for multiplayer, they took the single player and copy pasted everything to online, however, this doesn't work. Once you do that, the problems that existed in single player get amplified and there are tons of new problems that come from not properly adjusting the gameplay to be suitable for online.

    The progression online is slow, too slow, the idea that ammo is shared between showdown and free roam just forces you to spent your cash on ammo, everything else is too expensive for the payout that you get and if they're slightly cheaper, they don't feel like they're worth it. I have to admit that the co-operative missions are the most fun you can have online but traversing the map feels like a chore. There have been numerous bugs and glitches that I have come across and the terrain feels restrictive, the smallest of hills forces you to go around for miles because you can't climb it. Deaths feel too quick and the cover system fails a lot of the times plus there's hardly any cover usually... In comparison, GTA online had a few of these issues too but the game was leagues more fun than Red Dead, the modernised feel works with that type of online whereas Red Dead is held back by it. Driving a car to your destination is a lot more fun than tapping a button over and over until your horse runs out of stamina in vast wilderness where there's hardly any people or anything else to distract you from the fact that you're just tapping a button for minutes on end.

    Overall, the online experience simply does not work in my opinion, the free roam, showdown, not even the free roam events, the co-op missions is what is done right in online but they're few and far between. The game lacks fun and feels like everything is done to force your hand to spend money.    … Expand

    Starts out well (RDR 1 is my favorite game of all time). But this one degenerates into unrelenting tedium. By the end, no spoilers, I was deliberately skipping ahead in missions. The time it takes to travel, plus the repetitive encounters and banal dialogue, made this game excruciating. I'm still not done at 95% and I want to die.

You want to go on a story mission. Alright then, just go talk to one of the NPCs and get prepared to hold down the x button for the next 5 minutes as you and the NPC ride your horses to the mission. Just try not to run anyone over with your horse or go too far away from the NPC, otherwise you'll have the same 5 minute ride ahead of you again, no option to skip, the NPC delivering the same speech.
    How about running on ice? Do you like that, cause that's what moving around on foot kind of feels like. How about horribly contrived controls? The same button is used for getting on your horse as robbing a person on the street. That means that if you try to get on your horse, but a civilian is closer to you than your horse, you're going to jump the civilian. You now have the cops on you. Hope you weren't on a mission, cause you now have the intro horse ride to go through again.
    Do you like internet trolls? Then welcome to RDR2 online. Great idea in concept, but a complete waste of time. The controls in this game are not good enough for PvP to be any fun, yet that seems to be all the community is interested in. There are some PvE things available, but good luck getting a posse together for any of it.

    The most commendable thing about this game is the sheer scope and amount of work that went into it. They have definitely built an impressive world to inhabit. If Rockstar had taken the time to make movement feel good, work out a decent control scheme, edited out the majority of "simulation/waiting", and curated the online experience a bit better - this would be an amazing game. As is, this thing is like the pyramids if they were made of **** Impressive at first glance from a distance. But the closer you look and the more time you spend, it just stinks worse and worse.    … Expand

Every game design decision was biased towards realism or selling microtransactions instead of FUN. As a result, you spend the vast majority of your time doing monotonous busy-work like securing food, shelter, maintaining your weapons, etc. Even those looking for a deep simulation experience are going to be disappointed, however, because so many of the supporting systems are so bad.

    Expect to struggle with your horse and your horse-oriented storage. You are REQUIRED to keep every weapon you've ever picked up on your horse with no way to throw them away, sell them, or force a loadout for example, but your horse is very often unavailable when starting missions. You can only carry one of the 50 million large pelts you require for crafting around at a time, but each time you begin the 20 minute horse ride to the drop-off location you lose the pelt to side missions or horse malfunctions or whatever. It's tiring and unenjoyable and that's the bulk of the game!

    The actual story has some of the worst pacing in video game history, with the first hour of gameplay featuring only one gun-fight amid thirty minutes of horseback travel and inconsequential dialog. It's the kind of thing better games let you skip as cutscenes, but it sets the stage for an excessively drawn out main campaign. If you distill the game down into "main" campaign missions, the campaign length probably drops from 60-ish hours down to less than ten with the only meaningful or memorable bit falling squarely in the third quarter.

    The game world is fairly bustling, but it's not even the same planet as something like a GTAV. It has some nice vistas and such and is probably the best looking video game I have ever played, but the level of detail that makes each location memorably distinct simply doesn't exist.    … Expand

    Love the graphics and playing poker online is cool. But the gameplay is complete trash... I will remember PS4 for having alot of games that look incredible but have trash gameplay. God of War 4, Uncharted 4, Detroit Become Human, Red Dead Redemption 2, Hellblade... I hope the PS5 has better gameplay than this.. I mean the only game that has great gameplay is Assassin's Creed.

    I was very hyped by Red Dead Redemption 2 since I saw the 'you gotta love yourself a fire' trailer. I was really hoping for a game with a good story and interesting side quests (maybe even on par with the Witcher 3). In the end I got a game which frustratingly held me back to actually influence the story or really didn't make me feel as if I was playing a game at all.

In the end I got a game which frustratingly held me back to actually influence the story or really didn't make me feel as if I was playing a game at all.

    So here is how I played the game: I just kept jumping from guest to guest as indicated on my map as I did not feel incentivized to do anything else. The time in between quests is just a lot of horse riding. Time spent in-quest was 80% me not being able to do anything apart from listening in a cutscene or listening to a non-interesting dialogue of a character in walking pace or moderate horse-riding speed while I was annoyed that I was not allowed to ride full speed.
    The other 20% is just a shout-out and then the quest is over. These shoot-outs were initially pretty enjoyable when I had adjusted the terrible aiming controls and turned off auto-aim entirely. There is however no real progression in the shooting mechanics, so these shootouts start to feel same-y after a while.
    Now I probably should mention some positives as well. The landscapes with the lighting can be stunning. The animations and facial expressions are well done (though annoyingly slow when it's gameplay-related). The characters are pretty distinct though I couldn't enjoy any of them, but this could be because I just felt frustrated with the entire experience.

    I believe I was in chapter 5 when I stopped playing and watched the ending on youtube. I do hope others have enjoyed this game, but I cannot believe anybody who likes gameplay or being in control in a game could actually have an enjoyable experience out of Red Dead Redemption 2.    … Expand

The original marked a genre defining moment in gaming. Open world games were common, but not as mainstream as they are today. But Western games were-and still are-largely uncommon and unpopular. Rockstar mixed people’s fond memories of Spagetti Westerns with the blossoming open world genre, and a handsome love child emerged. RD2 couldn’t repeat that. The main question everyone has: Did RD2 improve upon its predecessor? The answer: Absolutely not. RD2 is OK in short bursts. But it isn’t pulling gamers in like the original for several key reasons.

    Graphically RD2 is average. RD2 doesn’t look any better than GTA V, its cousin that launched 5 years earlier. Rockstar doesn’t push the boundaries on graphics or performance. Character animations are jerky and galloping horses look hilariously stiff. Collision detection is comical. RD2 is noticeably sluggish because of the 30fps lock. Frames can dip below 20fps when riding horses and walking thru towns. Those jarring experiences ruin the immersion. There’s no reason the PS4 Pro can’t push 60 or even 45fps. A big part of the performance problem stems from RD2’s garbage HDR implementation. Disabling that speeds things up a bit, but not enough. I won’t even discuss the unacceptably long load times.

    The controls suck. They’re a bigger problem than RD2’s lackluster performance. Rockstar still hasn’t made efforts to streamline in-game menus or create modern, accessible control schemes. Its games have the most unintuitive, antagonistic, and inconsistent controls among triple-A releases. Some actions require players press “O” while other similar actions require players hit “X”. And these “Hold X to pay respects” moments pop up all the time. Players can open and close dresser drawers, but they can't close doors. Controls are laggy too.

    RD2 contains character statistics that aren’t clearly explained and virtually meaningless. In-game information such as plant/animal facts are buried behind multiple submenus. There isn’t a quick, streamlined process to view journal entries, review quests, or anything else. The awful sluggish, controls and antagonistic UI elements hinder players’ control and understanding of the RD2 world.

    And it’s all compounded by the relatively boring story that doesn’t throw enough carrots at players to keep them hooked. Other than running around or soaking up damage to build up stamina and health “cores”, character progression is nonexistent. Quests don’t offer interesting rewards. Players are expected to complete the story for its own sake. That’s not enough these days. RD2 doesn’t provide enough guidance regarding crafting, eating, sleeping and other mechanics for players to care about them. But that doesn’t matter since all those systems are half-baked anyway. According to a recent article, only 40% of players actually made it to the half-way point a month after RD2 launched. That's surprisingly low. Even less will finish the game. For a story driven experience, that’s low.

    Considering how much time players spend doing nothing, I’m surprised 30% made it that far. In missions, characters spend a lot of time trotting from point A to B while talking. Or players will spend a lot of time galloping after people while mashing “X” until their thumbs bleed. Once at point B, there’s the obligatory brawl or firefight. Rinse and repeat. Missions are an on rails experiences with one 1 path and 1 outcome apiece.

    Actions determine if your character is honorable or dishonorable, but the implementation is just odd. Killing a man in a duel is OK and encouraged in certain situations. In fact, the story forces players to shoot lawmen and farmers without penalty. But shooting a chicken is dishonorable. Chasing down a man and threatening him into silence after he witnessed your crime is perfectly OK as well. Yet, looting an unconscious person is dishonorable. And honor is affected even if no one is around. That’s right. Committing acts in complete secrecy mystically affect honor. Honor affects things like prices of goods, but there’s no reason to favor one path over the other.

    Despite all the people roaming about, interactions are limited and samey. Even fellow outlaws hanging around the campsite are boring and shallow. Conversations are sparse. There’s essentially no reason to do anything. None. RD2’s world isn’t dynamic enough and its rewards too small for players to get wrapped up in the story or quests.

    RD2 is an unexpected disappointed. Other than the cinematic sequences and large open world, RD2 misses the mark on everything. There’s literally nothing it does well, but critics and fans are forgiving Rockstar because well, it’s Rockstar. At least RD2 works... However, it commits the unforgiveable sin of being boring. Dreadfully so. Rockstar is stuck in past, a spoonful of bitter irony given RD2’s setting.    … Expand

    I don't have the time to spend 5 minutes travelling to do a 3 minute quest then 5 minutes to travel back. That's not my idea of a fun gameplay loop. Especially when the combat sucks, heck, simple movement sucks, it's so slow. Getting stuck behind a NPC ambling along a narrow path not wide enough for 2 carts is an infuriating way to lose a timed mission. Even when there's no time limit, it's frustrating as if you run into people you get grief from the rep and justice system which is a massive fun barrier.

    You're encouraged to be a good guy because otherwise you get a bounty, but then the story has you committing crimes FFS. Not that it matters, the story isn't that interesting.

    The character builder for online is limited (perhaps they're going to sell more customization options later on) and the quests in that, thus far, aren't any more fun other than single player as the combat still sucks. I suppose there is the added bonus of laughing as now everyone in a group whistles for their horse and none arrive and we all sheepishly go running after the missing mounts...

    More patient players and people that don't mind the clunky menus, woeful hand-to-hand, lame auto aim shooting and riding around for hours on end will no doubt have a blast, for me, I doubt I'll ever finish it. Not with so many other games that are actually fun and not chores to play. I play games to escape life, not be trapped by the same limitations.

Since the game's controls are so imprecise, there will be hundreds of occasions where you'll click a button you didn't mean to click, or you won't be facing in the precise direction you need to be facing in order to do the action you wanted to do, so you'll be subjected to watching Arthur in an over-animated manner mount his horse, which lasts for literal seconds, before you can push the button that gets off his horse, an animation that also lasts for literal seconds, before you can do the thing you were trying to do before accidentally mounting your horse. Or, every single time you kill an animal, to collect its skin you have to sit through an unskippable animation of Arthur skinning whatever animal it is that also lasts for literal seconds, all of which are attention to detail in manners that actively make the game less fun to play. It would be all the more bearable if you were simply capable of pushing a button that would cancel whatever action you're doing in case you accidentally hit the wrong button or prompted Arthur to do something you didn't mean to do, but no, you are committed to sitting the gratuitously over-animated sequences through literally every mistake you ever make due to how finicky this game's controls are. Yes, the attention to detail in a lot of cases is incredible, but a lot of that detail just simply doesn't make the game fun.

    It's also annoying that you can't sprint through town areas without every NPC you pass acting like you're attempting to physically assault them, or if you accidentally forget to holster your weapon you'll have law enforcement raining bullets on you in a matter of seconds, so your stuck walking for an eternity through buildings and town areas for fear you'll be wanted for assault in case you accidentally nudge an NPC, which also makes the game significantly less fun to play.

    But the writing and characters and acting is all fantastic, as expected, so it's absolutely worth checking out, it's just a shame that it isn't as much fun to actually play.    … Expand

    The graphics are fine, not the best I've ever seen. The open world is big, but also largely empty. It consists for a bit part of open fields that are there just to add minutes to your travel time. To me it didn't feel like it was amazing.

    Story begins slow of course, which isn't a downpoint. But then it stays either slow or just random. The side characters, who are supposed to feel like family, I don't even know their names. I don't care for the story nor them at all. Playing this game feels for the most time like a chore. I'm supposed to eat, drink and whatever, but there's no indication that I'm doing it too much or too few. A lot of stuff just isn't clear which is why I'm fed up with it and selling my copy. I really wish the story and characters were better and made me care because the rest of the game is wonderful when it comes to detail and I happen to love those.    … Expand

There is a lots of side quests and encounters at every turns that can give you rewards if you want to take a break from the main quest. I know everyone are praising this game calling it a masterpiece, but...after a couple of hours in....it gets boring very quickly. My main complain is the travelling, there is no fast travel! I understand that it forces the player to discover the surrounding, but sometime I have to ride 10 minutes to get to a location. Other than that the story is average, the loot is average, there is no impact in the game if you decide to be good or bad even if you have a karma meter, the controls take time to master and if you make a mistake it could cost you, for example, you draw your gun at someone and then everyone in town wants to kill you, that also goes when you hit someone with your horse and finally when you go in your camp you can't run.. Overall it's not bad, but it's no masterpiece for me.… Expand

    Unfortunately, once again I fell for the hype and got this title quite a much at release.
    Didn't quite reach the expectations and several crashes made it unbearable experience since the save points wasn't either generated.
    Conclusion, boring roaming title, maybe works for some people with western in their heart.

    When a game is this close to perfection it's hard not to be embarrassed to complain. Unfortunately this game suffers badly from bloat, and the longer it goes on, the more tiring it gets. And boy, DOES IT GO ON.

    On a technical level the game is beyond impressive. I was initially seduced by the experience of Red Dead Redemption 2 because its world is so rich. For the first 10 to 15 hours, that richness was tantalizing.

    But once the slow, deliberate pace of the action and story of this game become obvious the world's richness becomes obnoxious. Everything in this game wears out its welcome and the maddening thing is that simply cutting out 10% of the content would have given the player more breathing room. Rockstar's design philosophy often involves taking control away from the player, and it creates a problem where taking on a mission is a crapshoot as to what a player can expect.

    As for the story: the characters are rich and deep, the voice acting is just superb, and the presentation and direction are expert. But the material just isn't that great. They're thieves and the law is after them. That's all. It takes itself way too seriously despite a great deal of characters making some pretty dumb choices. And again, everything just moves at a glacial pace.

    This game is a roller coaster, and despite how thrilling some parts are be sure to stay strapped in for the duration and watch your hands.    … Expand

    The game is very, very scripted during missions. This is at odds with the rest of the open-world part of the game.

It also has a habit of forcibly slowing you down or taking away your control in some other way. You can be running around then suddenly be forced into an agonizingly slow walk or you'll suddenly realize during a mission that while you're riding your horse, you actually can't do anything but ride straight ahead. You can't turn left or right, you're forced to move along with the others. In situations like that I don't know why it couldn't have just been a cutscene instead. Overall it's boring as ****

    Besides the awful controls, my main problem is that a lot of time in game is spent doing pretty much nothing. The world is absolutely massive yet barren. The points of interest on the map are separated by huge, empty expanses of nothingness. Going from point to point while exploring the world or during missions, it struck me how much of this “dead time” there was in the game. There is so much galloping around while listening to people talk, and not everything the NPCs say is interesting. There are even missions where you go far off to an area, then go back, then go back to that area again.

Vamos por partes: los gráficos para mi son el techo de esta generación, dificilmente otro juego se vea mejor de acá a PS5. La historia me pareció excelente, personalmente me gustan (SPOILERS) los finales trágicos y eso fue un plus. Es una historia con un desarrollo bastante lento, pero eso para mi no fue un problema. El tamaño del mapa es algo nunca visto, y la vida que despide la flora y fauna, las ciudades, todo es increíble. Pero toca hablar del apartado que para mi puede matar tu experiencia si no tenés paciencia y si no fuera porque todo lo demás está tan bien hecho: la jugabilidad. Es sin duda alguna uno de los juegos con los controles más toscos que he jugado este año (no jugué Fallout 76). Entiendo que se haya optado por un nivel de realismo altísimo, pero eso es justamente lo que se lleva por delante la jugabilidad. El input lag en los movimientos del personaje es atroz, provoca que el jugador sienta que no tiene control total sobre el personaje, un grave error. El gunplay no es malo, pero podría ser muchísimo mejor, es regular diría. Pero sin dudas lo peor del juego es su sistema de coberturas, que es automático y el personaje se cubre donde quiere y en el ángulo que quiere. El jugador solo puede decidir si cubrirse o quedar expuesto, y muchas veces la cobertura automática es tan mala que se "cubre" justo en el ángulo de tiro de los enemigos, por ende, te llenan de plomo. Otra negativa (pero menor que las anteriores) es que cada acción del personaje tiene una animación, entonces todo se hace muy denso pasadas unas horas, ejemplo: tener que agarrar item por item de un mueble, cada uno con una animación que dura lo suyo. Todos estos detalles al principio dejan boquiabierto a cualquiera, pero con el paso de las horas se vuelve tedioso.

    Finalmente quiero destacar sin mucho detalle, lo que más me gustó del juego por lejos: el sistema de caza. Es el primer juego en el que realmente me divierto cazando durante horas sin hacer otra cosa. Y eso tiene mucho mérito teniendo en cuenta que esa es una actividad opcional, y las animaciones de desollamiento de los animales son increíbles, las únicas que no se me volvieron tediosas con el tiempo.

The fast travel isn't perfect rather a step-back compared to games like Skyrim. The game decides to be realistic than any other game that you couldn't imagine. It may sound like a complement, but no it's a draw-back with this game. Strangers are a side mission addition to this game after you beat the main story, or you can access them anytime you want during the story. I didn't care for this experience, but someone may like this to do something after the story is done or take a break from the main story. The controls for aiming is bad just like the other products i've experienced from Rockstar Games. For the next game please improve the aiming, and the movement.

    The amount of padding for time that's added because there's no fast travel is criminal. They made a 20 hour game into 40-60 hours because you have to take your horse everywhere.

    Each mission is rinse and repeat.
    1. Take a 8 minute journey to get to camp.

    To be honest the single player mode is a huge amount of fun i didn't completely beat it because i have habit of not finishing games out but any way i would also say that the on-line was huge disappointment,i personally expected more from rock star.

    I found it to be a little boring. There wasn’t much in terms of a story. It the same kind of cutscenes over and over again with Dutch saying “we gotta keep pushing forward” Also each mission was extremely scripted meaning you could only approach one way and the game forced a lot of things to happen

    Boooo

    Red Dead Redemption 2 is a Cowboy simulator that looks and sounds amazing but at its core plays poorly. The detail in the game is phenomenal and truly makes for an immersive experience and the story is incredibly engaging and pulls you in with its interesting characters that all have an incredible depth to them.

Yet, something always feels off in this game, why aren't I having fun? The conclusion I've come to lies in the fundamental design of the gameplay, all you do is ride from place to place on your horse with nothing interesting happening for long stretches at a time. You can't enjoy a game to its full extent, no matter how gorgeous, unless you have fun with the gameplay. And Red Dead Redemption 2's gameplay is lacking. 5/10… Expand

    Sadly they just focus on Read Dead Online, which is pay to win... :(( So it's only worth to buy for the Story Mode!

    This is most boring game i ever played. Music, characters and world are beautiful. But gameplay with horse and controls are disapointed

    looks good.
    Gameplay is bad.
    Story is boring most of the time but has a few great moments.
    Epilogue story I disliked the most.

    O jogo é lindo, e muito interessante, mas é extremamente chato e cansativo. Sem contar que o gameplay é muito básico.

    Even if is a beautiful game, the 80 hours of main history does not allow you to have a good control of your actions to explore, and the very bad 8+ Epilogue destroys the history completely to remind you that is not Red Dead Redemption 2 but RDR 0.5, also de shooting system, is incredible easy to do headshots, which destroy most of the key points on a western based game

    Very detailed graphics, can get quite boring though traveling with a horse, completing unnecessary tasks etc.

    Graphics 9/10
    Story 6/10
    Gameplay 3/10

    Let me start by saying here's how I rate certain aspects of the game. Story-9 Graphics (for its time)- 10, and gameplay- 3/10.

    But the gameplay is embarrassingly bad in my opinion. I have no desire to play this game again just because of how it is played. Making no real improvements from GTA v. The shooting just doesn't feel that good, moving around doesn't feel good, neither does riding a horse after the newness has worn off. I just don't see how it could be rated as high as it is with its gameplay issues.    … Expand

    I had very high expectations on this game and tbh it didn't deliver. I really don't understand why is this game so overrated.

    The Good: - Graphics are outstanding. This is by far the best looking open world game to date. - Level of detail. The world is massive, beautiful & very much alive. It is filled with content. - Story, The story is good...just good. Kind of predictable and not    I had very high expectations on this game and tbh it didn't deliver. I really don't understand why is this game so overrated.

    The Good:
    - Graphics are outstanding. This is by far the best looking open world game to date.
    - Level of detail. The world is massive, beautiful & very much alive. It is filled with content.
    - Story, The story is good...just good. Kind of predictable and not the masterpiece a lot of people say it is.
    - Voice acting. The acting is pretty good.

    The bad:
    - Controls and mechanics. This game has the worst controls of the past generation by far. They are clunky and frustrating. They made me just want to finish the game ASAP. I'm not playing this game again.
    - Pacing. The pacing of this game is terrible. The first half of the game can get pretty boring at times. Then it get's better but meh. It just has bad pacing all along.
    - Fast Travel. You will be traveling by horse A LOT. Fast Travel is very limited and sometimes useless. You will lose a lot of time traveling from one place to another wich results in getting bored.
    - Saving. This game autosaves but if you start a mission guess what! You can't save in the middle of it. Really Rockstar? Can't save in the middle of a mission? What is this? 1991?
    - Realism. This is something I think a lot of people like and I can't see why. The game is filled with detailes and...reality. You have to cook and eat, otherwise you will lose skills. You have to hunt for food. You have to prepare coffee. Taking items is hard cause the character actually takes them. This just makes the game slower and it affects the overall pacing.
    - Secondary missions. A lot of them are pretty boring. Just go from A to B and watch cinematics with NO ACTION AT ALL. Again, bad pacing and boring.
    - Bugs. The game has some bugs. Secondary missions disappear and then appear again. Can't tell when can you access them for real. I lost some secondary missions due to this bug.

    All in all it's a good game but absolutely not the masterpiece a lot of people say it is.    … Expand

    Finally played it this year, did not understand the hype. Shoot some people, listen to Dutch say, "I got a plan", then move camp, repeat. It gives no incentive to try to go hunting or interact with the open world.

    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]

    Amazing not only for Western lovers. No other game has probably offered so many options to express yourself in the open world, and at the same time did not have such an interesting, rough and moving story. A magnificent experience, with a slightly slower start. [Issue#291]

    The first new game from Rockstar for this generation of consoles doesn't disappoint, it is as impressive as you hoped it to be.
