    Крайне хорошая игра, не понимаю людей который обсирают ее (говоря что нету на PC, и то что симулятор езды на лошади). Тоже самое можно сказать и про гта (симулятор урона и езды на машинах (каких-то фантастических транспортах). Здесь же графика очень крутая и сюжет интересный. PC-ры долбоебы ( которые ставят 0 без обоснования).

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Red Dead Redemptiom Two is the most detailed, well-crafted and neat game I've ever seen in my entire life. The attention given to the minutiae details that any game would treat as unimportant, here are treated with the same importance of main mission. The characters are captivating, the story is engaging, the world is alive and detailed on an absurd level, all npcs have non-repetitive dialogues that enrich the experience in some way. The various mechanics of the game, do things that are usually considered as just aesthetic, now have a function, such as clothes for cold or heat, beard, hair, dirt on weapons, clothes or horse, all interfere with the gameplay. the game has a slower pace, and this is not a failure but a characteristic that we should adapt. The amount of things to do between missions, keeps us busy, which guarantees a long useful life to the game, activities like poker, dominoes, hunting, fishing, blackjack and the own exploration of the world that hides several easter eggs and fun secrets very. Play calmly, and taking advantage of every moment, if you try to play this game in a hurry, it will NOT WORK.

    Hi everyone, I'm writing this review hence some pc butthurt people cannot stress the fact that it isn't on their master race piece of hardware or they cannot believe a game different from their usual fast pace Call of Duty **** is getting perfect reviews, let me establish once for all this thing, coming from a former internal reviewer at Ubisoft in Bucharest, the game is staggering, if notHi everyone, I'm writing this review hence some pc butthurt people cannot stress the fact that it isn't on their master race piece of hardware or they cannot believe a game different from their usual fast pace Call of Duty **** is getting perfect reviews, let me establish once for all this thing, coming from a former internal reviewer at Ubisoft in Bucharest, the game is staggering, if not 'perfect' nonetheless, let me explain.
    The game is slow and using this as an argument is pretty ignorant on your part, when this is the charm of it, the western times, historically speaking, were slow and tensed, such pace the teams in Kyiv, Montreal etc tried to replicate on Black Flag and I might say they HAD to get it wrong, just because it was 'boring', at the end we failed making a true pirate-ish experience, fearing it was 'too empty'; the fact that Rockstar went a step further and not just making it true to the times, but enforcing this type of gameplay, they had the result of a game that's amazingly immersive and if you disagree, then sorry, it's just not your cup of tea then, but remember, slow pace isn't a flaw, but rather a strong point, especially when in the same review you admit that it's beautiful as a game, so if you would just stop and look at things from time to time, it's a chill, immersive and tensed experience, trust me.
    Now you might be wondering, why I'm saying tensed, oh well, start the game and you'll see that the music, the landscape, the details like your gun being cocked or your gun just stop working, dropping your weapon to pickup a shotgun from your horse, the moment you'll be facing 8 goons at once and trying to intimidate them by shooting in the air, because you're on plain sight with no cover, a simple ambush in the swamp, or a heist of a train, you can see where I'm going, those moments get tensed, because you're so used with the calm pace of the game and immediately you're thrown in a life-death situation, where if you **** up, you're dead. And to be honest, the game isn't empty at all, but that's for you to decide, for me it wasn't up until this point and until now I analyzed just gameplay, I just got into the story and it fits perfectly to the overall idea and scenery of the game. It's a game where you're ACTUALLY LIVING THE WEST LIFE.
    Now let me tackle some arguments:
    1. 'I hate when my horse is too far away' - it's a gameplay mechanic, take care of your horse, and it won't be that much of a problem, it's basically to make it more realistic than the usual Metal Gear 'I'm calling the horse and it randomly spawns from the oblivion' thing.
    2. 'I hate it's not on the PC' - FINALLY I can talk about this, so, basically there are 2 ways of releasing something on consoles and pc, you either program 2 games, which takes longer to do and it takes the focus out from the production of the game OR you do one (either consoles or pc) and then port it to the other hardware, which, for me, it's a terrible idea cause always people will rant about differences and the immense number of bugs the ported one has, or should I recall Batman to prove my point? I respect Rockstar for choosing to focus on the game and then make a separate and working game on the PC, I think Rockstar either will respond to the requests and make a PC version, after they released the online version, or they will just leave it on the consoles, life is life, I owned a 360 and the last of us came out but I didn't make a fuss about it, even though I'm a PC guy, accept the fact that Rockstar intends to focus on the game, rather than selling.
    3. 'It's a chore' - It is for those that don't want to accept realism, this isn't again your average juggernaut suit killing every **** in my way kinda **** this is a lifestyle type of game, if you wanna destroy everything in your path, Rockstar got you covered with GTA, sooo cheers

    Cheers indeed, I wanted to add some more, but to be honest I just wanted to put my counter-argument on display, I'll keep the rest of my opinion to myself, even though the storyline was... astonishing, the reasoning for my vote is the story, attention to detail, the world, the theme and of course the beauty of it all... and also for the fact that I can play poker in-game, well done Rockstar.

    P.S. I'm Romanian, so any type of English brainfart moments, I'm sorry for em, I tried my best :3    … Expand

    Занижать игре оценку за то, что нет ПК-версии, озвучки или перевода на твой язык (например, на арабский) - это так же глупо, как говорить: "у меня в день покупки игры болела задница, поэтому игре я ставлю 0 баллов".

Монотонно и скучно играть? Слишком долго перезаряжается? Пустая карта? Имеете право так считать, но я с вами не согласен. Считаю. что RDR II прекрасно передаёт атмосферу неспешного аналогового мира, которой не было в RDR I, и которая, похоже, пришлась по душе не всем. Rockstar рискнули и решили в одиночной кампании сделать ставку на реализм, а для менее усидчивых игроков скоро будет Red Dead Online.

    Diminishing the game score for not having a PC version, voice acting or translating it into your language (for example, Arabic) is as stupid as saying: "I had an assache on the day I bought a game, so I put the game 0 points" . Monotonous and boring to play? Slow recharging and shooting? Empty Map? I'm respect your opinion, but I disagree with you on that. I think. that the RDR II contants the perfect vibe of the unhurried analog world, which was not in the RDR I, and which, it seems, was not liked by everyone. Rockstar took a chance and decided to bet on realism for a single-player campaign, and for more fidget players there will soon be Red Dead Online.

    So i am here to address problems and hive a true score. Problems: 1.) Gunplay. Have you played GTAV or RDR1.

It takes a second to    Disclaimer: I played on Xbox One X and have no clue if there are bigger problems on base systems. (Small spoiler on random events, but no story spoilers)

    So i am here to address problems and hive a true score.
    Problems:
    1.) Gunplay. Have you played GTAV or RDR1. It is basically ripped from both those games. 10 hours is not long enough to really get good using it. It takes a second to really get proficient with it. Also, to the idiots saying there's a delay. You have to pull the trigger again to make Arthur rack another round idiot. Guns haven't always been simi-automatic.
    2.) Not fun. Are you serious??? I mean literally go into town and play poker. Won/lose money. Get mad if you lose shoot the guy in the face and have a standoff with the law. Kinda like GTAV. Only difference if the law isn't gonna chase you at all costs and kill other people to get to you like in GTAV. Also. The beginning is slow. Its called character building. Get your 10 hours of play time out. Come back around 25.
    3.) Empty world. Once again are you daft? There are literally random events that can happen if you just ride around! Granted theres not ine around every corner, but take some time and look. You get chain gang prison escapes, (slight spoiler)kkk meeting that always end hilariously by them killing themselves and random people who need help. Its not empty if you actually look people!
    Those are the main complaints.
    Review: pretty much pros and cons.
    Pros:
    Story, World building, characters, graphics, open world, days of fun, mini-games, hunting
    Neutral:
    Gunplay, gathering resources,(ie ammo and looting, picking herbs, and slow to start, but does pick up.
    Cons:
    Deadeye can make certain fights very easy. Note: Not a bad mechanic, just a tad overpowered. Some story elements are kinda unbelievable, but its a video game so meh, and no Red Dead Online at launch. Kinda sad, but at least we are getting it for free. So my total rating comes in at a 9/10. Not a flawless game, but it is dang close.    … Expand

    A phenomenal follow-up to one of the best games of the last ten years. The attention to detail is brilliant. The story is a slow burn that ramps up the further you progress. It would take far too long to detail every aspect/system of this game, but for me it was well worth the wait. Do yourself a favor, and pick it up.

    Red Dead Redemption 2 is a game that many people will say is one of the greatest games of all time and perhaps one of the only games that people cant find often as a much more refined experience of open world shooter games, for my case I can agree with that statement.

Red Dead Redemption 2 offers amazing attention to detail in both story and game-play in which the player can really feel the amount of effort that was put into the game, nearly everything you do in this game is animated and the amount of realism can really blow your mind from how far Rockstar really went with this game. As much as I love the game as it is right now, and that Red Dead Online hasn't been released yet, I can only talk about the experience i have had so far from playing the game to explore, and playing the game's story components.

    The game in my opinion has some of the best story writing people haven't seen for ages when it comes to AAA game franchises, from people leaving games like Call of Duty or Destiny to finally finding and playing a game that has some story in which it will really leave a memory for you. The game also offers really amazing graphics and a good amount of weapon selection, and the players themselves feel like they have so many different things they can do in the game, leaving endless opportunities to unfold and create their own story outside of the game's own story missions.

    The main issues I have with game (I play on a ps4) are the fact that the game has so many animations for what you do that sometimes they can feel like they are dragging you down from versatility of your own movement. As someone that plays on ps4 I feel I am not the only one having this issue. I cant really say the same for some PC players because they aren't the ones playing on a controller.

    Whenever I try to perform an action, like for example moving a wagon with two horses on it, often times ill see myself struggling to stop the horses even though I spam R1 (which is how you stop them), and often times whenever I do, the horses will eventually get stuck on some rocks somehow, and make them basically unable to move. This is probably just me being completely reckless with what I do however, so take this sentence with a grain of salt for me being retarded as a player. But when it comes to actual movement in the game like I said before, sometimes whenever you perform an action, like taking food and such, the movement will feel very heavy and clunky compared to other games since literally everything you do has an animation, eventually this will result in players like me feeling like that its more of a chore to go loot items or skin animals.

    When it comes to gun-play the weapons in this game are very satisfying and amazing to use that often times you will find yourself too busy indulging in how great the weapons are, but when it comes to the different amount of weapons you can purchase and find, i'm slightly disappointed in what they did with this game. As much as I love the amount of customization you can have with yourself and the guns, the game just felt like there wasn't enough variety with what there was and that most guns feel like weaker re-skins of each other, even though this statement can be gone against with saying that you can customize your weapons to the point where they will feel different, but I feel as myself that even that isn't enough.

    As much as I love this game for the amount of effort put into it, i'll leave a solid 9 for now seeing as that not every game is perfect, but games like these will always have some sort of place in myself, especially that even with some flaws the game has, I myself am having a blast playing it.    … Expand

    Sure you personally might not like time consuming mechanics that are build around immersion but we had so little of those games over the last 10-15 years that it was more than needed that a tripleA Studio rises to the challenge at least once.
    I don't get how you can hold that against the game when you yourself just made the error of assuming it was something that you would like not actually looking deeper at it.
    If you watched LotR expecting an action packed "Die Hard" in medieval times it wouldn't be the movies fault for you having the wrong expectation.

    This game is an absolute masterpiece that shows how a decelerated approach can get you far greater and more emotional results than just another Assassins Creed or even Horizon Zero Dawn.
    It might not be your cup of tea but Godfather might be neither and no one would argue about the quality of that movie.    … Expand

    Great story so far
    Good effects

    This game is unlike anything I've ever played. The world is compelling visually and mind-boggling in its details.

But it's not just a gallery to walk through and observe -- you can interact with it in many dynamic and interesting ways, experimenting and trying different approaches to different situations. Some open worlds are filled with content represented by points on a map to explore. I think that's a bad design decision which removes the joy of discovery. Here, visual and audio clues drive exploration, and it's a joy to traverse through the same areas again and again because each time the developers have striven to make it a fresh experience.

    For example, I've traveled to a town called Valentine countless times. Sometimes there's someone being mugged there at night, or gang members will show up, or a preacher will be preaching, or a beggar begging. You can interact with each of these and it never seems to stop. Whether these are dynamic or scripted (and probably a combination of both), doesn't matter to me. Nothing in this world seems to be repeated.

    Many games have countless side quests, and your time with the characters in each one is brief and not that interesting. Here, there are extended side quests where you interact with a single character in a story arc. It's much more compelling.

    In essence, if you like to explore a world AND interact with it, you should get this game.

    The amount of excellent dialogue in this game is crazy, especially with your fellow gang members. I'm constantly surprised when I go back to the camp; the gang seems to be talking about something else, whether I'm listening in or not.

    The world has this feeling of going on without you.

    The game does have a slower pace; there are animations for just about everything. But I actually enjoy the slower pace, and I feel like the game is more tactile and interactive because of it.

    My biggest gripe is that some systems are not explained very well. Just one for example, why do I need to donate supplies to the camp apart from upgrades? Is there some benefit to that? The game needs to teach duels prior to a duel and not during a duel (where you have a super small time window to read the hints on the screen). Why do you have to walk so slowly at camp?

    Sometimes I also feel like there's too much going on. Eating constantly to gain weight is a drag, constantly brushing your horse, maintaining your guns. My OCD nature tells me I'm always forgetting to do something, and there aren't ui warnings for all of these. I feel like especially maintaining weight is superfluous.

    But overall, these do not detract from what's here. It's a very long game, but because it's so engaging, I imagine I'll be playing it for a very long time to get all the extra collectibles and whatnot.    … Expand

    Graphics 9/10 - On the Ps pro they are great. No doubt better on the One X. Either way a huge step up for a game of this size. Always can be better but some moments will take your breath away.

    Gameplay 8/10- Gunplay is really good. Its always a thrill when you get into a battle. Horse riding is pretty basic, I don't think you can innovate much here, but they do it well enough. General controls are good. Only real issue is picking stuff up in small areas. Lastly the game can be too easy. You can do the missions by staying in cover a lot and using deadeye. Its a shame as I think they should of made it much more challenging.

    Story 9/10 - For me the story is really interesting. A really good feel to it. The pace starts slowly and builds up consistently. I wont spoil anything but a solid story for sure.

    Overall 9/10- This is not a game to be rushed. I took everything at my own pace, taking in the world, exploring , stumbling into random side quests. Its not a game for people that just want action and no travelling as you will spend a lot of time on your horse. But if you have the patience you will find a beautiful world to explore.

    Red Dead Redemption II es casi perfecto, estableciendo el mínimo exigible a partir de ahora en cuanto a mundos abiertos y sandbox se refiere. 8 años de esfuerzo y dedicación (y quién sabe, quizás horas extra forzadas) dan sus frutos, y estos están maduros y deliciosos.

    A día de hoy, debe de ser del 5% (siendo optimistas) de videojuegos de los que volvería a pagar su precio completo de salida orgulloso una vez terminado, porque lo vale.

    Pocas veces ves una campaña que de verdad dura 40h (mínimo) y con unos estándares de calidad altísimos. De hecho, su epílogo tiene mayor duración que muchos de los juegos que he tenido la oportunidad de jugar.

    Arthur (personalmente) super a Marston en muchos sentidos, aunque también tendremos una buena dosis del bueno de John en esta entrega, así como de muchos otros miembros de la banda. Gráficamente es imponente, sobre todo teniendo en cuenta la absurda magnitud del mapa, la historia está muy bien contada y planteada, el gameplay sigue en las líneas de Rockstar pero tomando mucho en cuenta lo que lograron con Max Payne 3 y una banda sonora que infinidad de juegos soñaría con tener. Recalcar la absurda cantidad de detalles que contiene el juego, simplemente no entra en mi cabeza como es capaz que un juego de estas dimensiones con tal cantidad de pequeños alicientes pueda siquiera ejecutarse en una máquina actual.

    Qué más decir. Al igual que la primera entrega (sin contar Red Dead Revolver), RDR2 es ya un clásico instantáneo, con escenas simplemente brutales que se quedan grabadas en tu memoria, y no te dejan soltar el mando, así como el juego del año y uno de los mejores de la generación sin ninguna duda.

    Morgan pasará al libro de iconos de los videojuegos junto a Marston, y Rockstar recogerá de nuevo premios como lleva haciendo toda su carrera.

    Sin duda, un antes y un después en el ámbito de los sandbox así como mundo abierto, que establecerá las bases como nuevo referente a nivel de calidad. No todo el mundo es Rockstar, y muy pocos serían capaces de lograrlo, así que de momento, están invictos en el género e incluso en la industria.

    Sin duda, imprescindible.    … Expand

    Poder subir a lo alto de una montaña
    y ver a lo lejos las distintas llanuras, vegetación, praderas, ríos...
    y todo ello a lomos de nuestro caballo,
    es algo digno de contemplar.

    Otro apartado a destacar es la iluminación.
    El cómo interactúan las distintas luces con los objetos del entorno
    en función del movimiento,
    la hora del día y la intensidad de cada foco,
    hace que las distintas localizaciones
    se impregnen de una personalidad propia.

    La paleta de colores de esta segunda entrega
    es bastante más variada,
    ambientes fríos, otros más cálidos,
    con mucha o poca vegetación...
    Compone un lejano oeste mucho más colorido
    de lo que podríamos tener en nuestro imaginario colectivo.

    Las animaciones están cuidadas con un mimo especial.
    Al contrario que muchos otros juegos,
    en los que recoger un objeto del suelo
    significa pasar por encima
    y al segundo tenerlo en nuestro inventario,
    en esta producción prácticamente todas las acciones
    tienen su animación,
    lo que hace que todo se vuelva más tangible y físico.

    Combate

    Desde luego nos encontramos
    ante un juego clásico de Rockstar.
    Sandbox de mundo abierto, en tercera persona.

    Tiroteos, duelos o peleas a puñetazo limpio,
    serán una de las vías que tendremos
    para solucionar los problemas que se nos pongan por delante.
    Aunque no siempre habrá que usar la violencia,
    ya que se nos presentarán ocasiones
    en las que no hará falta que matemos a nadie,
    lo cual podrá beneficiar a nuestra fama,
    convirtiéndonos así en un hombre más o menos honorable.
    Entonces, los tenderos y comerciantes
    nos harán descuentos en sus negocios.
    Si estamos en busca y captura, nadie confiará en nosotros.
    Para limpiar nuestro honor,
    podremos pagar nuestras deudas en la oficina de correos. El Dead Eye vuelve con ciertas mejoras, pero sigue manteniendo la mecánica fundamental de ralentizar el tiempo para poder marcar distintos objetivos a la vez. Este tipo de habilidades nos ayudarán en momentos donde nos veamos superados en número, o contra depredadores letales. Porque habrá animales que en un abrir y cerrar de ojos nos devorarán en un instante. Conclusiones Red Dead Redemption 2 es, sin lugar a dudas, el nuevo estándar en cuanto a sandbox se refiere; la vara de medir por la que tendrán que pasar todos los siguientes juegos. Un hito al alcance de muy pocos estudios. La densidad y realismo que ofrece puede resultar abrumadora para algunos jugadores, incluso tediosa, pero lo cierto es que no hay producción equiparable en cuanto a valores de producción. Este es un producto para dedicarle horas, muchas horas. Realmente, cada vez que te pones a jugar sientes que es distinta a la anterior. En una cazas, en otra avanzas en la trama, otro día estás en busca de unos forajidos para cobrar el precio por su cabeza y otro día te persiguen a ti. Hay veces en que directamente te da la sensación de haber malgastado tu tiempo, solo porque has estado paseando con tu caballo o jugando al póquer en alguna cantina. Volver al viejo Oeste de la mano de Arthur Morgan es una experiencia refrescante y familiar, mantiene muchas de las cosas que hicieron grande a su predecesor, pero añade un sinfín de posibilidades.

    The Good:
    I'm usually more into action games then RPG's but the immersion in this game is insane. Arthur huddles during a gust of cold wind and rubs his hands when walking by a fire. The story is interesting and the world around you feels alive as it reacts and changes to your choices. Bounty missions are more then just riding to the dot and killing everyone and are unique side stories all on their own. You aren't a cowboy terminator carrying 50 different guns on you. You need to prepare food and tonics, maintain your weapons, and survive in this harsh landscape. Your horse won't magically appear wherever you are and you can't store 500lbs of fur and supplies on your horse. You will have to make decisions based on what you really need and I love that feeling. The slow pace isn't boring its just methodical. I really got into the game as I climbed a mountain hunting a retired gunslinger, changed into my winter coat so my health wouldn't lower as the snow fell and took a moment to lite a cigarette to increase my dead eye while i wiped my rifle down with oil. Made sure my horse was fed and considered setting up camp to craft some special ammo in case things went downhill.

    The Bad
    The immense immersion can sometimes be a chore. Crafting items for a specific task is great but doing it one at a time is not as much. The controls in gun combat feel wonky. Lowering the dead space and increasing the aim sensitivity seems to of fixed this issue for me. The Wanted system will probably get a patch as some strange things can cause you to be wanted. The most blaring example is two guys in a fight and one was knocked out. On accident I picked up the knocked out guy and promptly set him down again. This triggered a witness to report me for assault. Its a very sensitive system. The honor system can also be wonky as many users, myself included, have reported killing in self defense triggering a lower honor event and sometimes also a wanted status. The story explains this a little later but at first its seems blatanty contradictory to be an outlaw that reminds people "I'm not a good man" but is constantly trying to raise your honor by doing good deeds and avoiding bad ones.

    Conclusion.
    I would not give this game a 10/10 as the wanted system and honor system both come across as buggy at times and these are important mechanics to the gameplay. The style, story, and detail make up for these occasional issues. The level of detail in the survival aspect feels more like a western outlaw RPG then a Rockstar game. How you feel about that just depends on your taste. If you love immersive RPG's or the red dead series this is a no brain buy. If you're on the fence it might be worth it to wait for a couple more patches to fix the various bugs and possibly rework the wanted and honor system.    … Expand

    of course its not a game for everyone. but its definitely worth trying, its a pity to miss a masterpiece

    Game of a generation, forgetting some of the best visuals in a game seen, the fantastic backgrounds music, the realistic and enjoyable voice acting or dialog, and huge world created with tons of content and mechanics.

The detail is insane and shows how much passion the developers had for the game, most game developers are lazy and it shows, like BO4 with water in Blackout mode worse than Ocarina of time on N64, and does nothing when shot at.

    To address some silly/lying negative reviews:

    Games boring: The first chapter acts as a tutorial and introduces characters, after it's free roam. The games huge and full of quality content and missions, challenges, activities, easter eggs. It's not a childish game like Fortnite is COD BO4, it's like a slow boiling Hollywood movie with a brilliant storyline and much to absorb.

    Clunky: The controls are like other Rockstar games, if you can't grasp them you shouldn't be playing games as they're really not that hard and have a ton of configuring options. Free aim does need some configuration but otherwise it's all well thought out considering how many different actions there are to perform.

    You can kill animals it's evil: My favourite bad reviews are SJW people whinging because you can kill animals in it, what do you think people did in 1899, telegram just eat for desert grown potato salad? Or maybe go TK Maxx for a nike winter coat and cowboy hat. Vegetarian was what apache's called bad hunters, veganism didn't exist until 1944. Even aggressive comanche Indians had 1-2 horses per every man/woman and live stock of several million wilderbeast/horses. Without live stock these silly people's ancestors probably would've starved. I love animals more than people but SJW's need to stop whinging because game developers choose to base a game on realism and history.

    It doesn't work good on pc: Really? The game isnt out on pc, only consoles.

    4K/HDR isn't good: game HDR calibration to 500, TV brightness to 47, TV HDR dynamic contrast to high, TV blacks to low, TV colour temp 50. Result = sexy visuals. As standard HDR causes asharper cricket textured picture but a bit darker with washed out colours, it could've been better off the bat, maybe they'll patch it soon. But these settings on my LG TV created a lively vivid picture.

    Bounty system is broken: No, it's realistic, exit an area quick enough and no bounty. Commit crimes next to lawman and you'll be wanted with a bounty. Wear a mask after the crime and you'll be hidden but be threatened to remove it, and if doing so will be recognized. Locked down towns go back to normal with time and bounties lessen with time. Chance clothes, shave hair, grow a beard, you'll lose the bounty or won't be recognized as easily depending on severity of changes. If you can't handle evading some bounty hunters or lawman, which is what the game is about believe it or not, go join a gang of pansies, not outlaws.

    And that's about it, a truly impressive game that raises the bar for many lazy quick cash grab developers.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. An amazing game and landmark achievement for Rockstar Games. It's truly almost perfect except for a major problem I have.

    Regarding the Epilogue of the game - I think it was a complete misfire and sloppily done. It's hard not to compare to RDR 1's epilogue but it just pales in comparison in a major way.

    Looking at RDR 1's epilogue, it set out on two goals; One, the player's agency to seek revenge for John's death, and what better way to achieve that than to play as a grown-up Jack! The second goal was to bring a poignant end to the game that added to the overall theme of the story - violence is fruitless and cyclical - "People don't forget. Nothing is forgiven". This was truly one of the greatest endings to a video game ever, and it was a shame to see RDR 2 fall so flat. Like 1, it set two goals: the Player's agency to kill Micah Bell as revenge for Arthur's death. And second, to set up the events of RDR 1 as you play John Marston.

    Rockstar surprisingly misses the mark on both points. My two major complaints lie in the length and pay off of the epilogue. First off, it is WAY too long. RDR 1's had one mission, 4 check points on the map and you were done. And it was simple and beautiful. RDR 2 however has two parts of an epilogue, most of it only concerning John's building of the Beecher's Hope ranch, and it is utterly boring. Character wise as well - John and Abigail are the only ones who further develop their relationship, wile returning characters like Charles, Sadie and Uncle really only serve to prop up John's goal of building a better life. What you get are last minute subplots and not too much character development which is a shame. Then, what really ruined the ending for RDR 2 for me was the final mission.

    It was totally CHEAP of Rockstar to cheat us out of a final confrontation with Micah, and instead we have to cower behind cover while we aren't allowed to shoot at him ever. Sadie gets captured like an idiot and then also Dutch appears... for some reason? I thought it was evident Dutch no longer trusted Micah at that point. If he did reconcile, where did Bill and Javier go? So many plot holes in a single moment and then boom... Dutch shoots Micah anyway and just leaves. Then John and friends go home and happy ending music plays. What a joke, seriously. Completely took me out of the game. Even worse, you get stuck playing John Marston if you didn't have a second save as Arthur. Just my opinion in the end but I was really let down with this epilogue.    … Expand

    I didn't want it to end. I lost count to how many times I was left speechless and in awe of what I was watching / playing. I confess there were also a couple of moments that brought a tear to my eye, such is the quality of the story, voice acting, motion capture and overall realistic mood of the cutscenes.

    I've always liked and played GTA games, since they were in 2D. But RDR2 is on a completely different level, even compared to GTA V IMO.

    I won't spoil anything but I'll just ask you not to skip the end credits (yeah, some people do that ^^). It's worth your time. Also, there's someone in there who played guitar, keyboard, bass... "and all kinds of weird instruments". ^^

    I can now say this is GoTY for me. I think the deciding factor for me is the historically grounded (and accurate replication) of the world and the story.    … Expand

Now that thats out of my way (ill try to keep it short) the rest of the game is a 10/10 cuz you have so much to do besides story missions, you have fishing, hunting, horse caring, bounty hunting, side missions, attractions, and even just exploring the whole map is an adventure of its own ! i really see things where rockstar are taking their games and its definitely the step up in video games ! the story is outstanding with such a powerful voice acting ! and the actors on the cinematics are very talented ! the game sometimes even questioned me if im playing a real life story of another person or is this one of rockstars biggest game right now and they have totally nailed it on both ! the game is alive and very accurate in the historical time and age of outlaws right before ww1 and on the time of the countries civil war and the immigration to the usa... By far i think im just in love with this game the soundtrack the activities of mini games and just hanging around and doing chores in the camp and so much more that i mentioned before i am enjoying every bit of it ! and with all of what i have done in the game im still hungry to enjoy it more ! people all over youtube are finding more stuff and references in the game i also think i should do review videos to get into many more specifics but for now i do highly recommend this game ! this is the kind of game that should be in everybody's library and i am looking forward to see whats next with rockstar those guys are talented and even the people in the studio are very much talented and even the people in the game all the characters and npc's are very very talented i am very much in love with this game ! and did i also talk about the action on horses and gunplay? well thats where the game is a true wild west and you also need to take care of youre weapons and horses the shooting is sublime as well is the horse riding and chasing the action in this game is superb !!!! Even the progression system is super rewarding and i love the honor mechanic also it really makes a good change for your world in the game !!

    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]
