    Tão realista que, faz ser o jogo mais imersivel possível, RDR2 pode não um jogo para todos, mas o seu mundo, e a sua história, precisam ser explorados.

    This is unquestionably the best single-player game ever made, if only you have the patience and love to play it at the slow, contemplative pace it begs of you.

    This game not being unanimously declared as the winner of every game of the year award in 2018 will go down as one of the biggest snubs in entertainment history.

This games revels in the minute, in the tiny little details, in doing all of the motions of repairing a wagon wheel my pressing X and using the thumbstick. In having to go to a campfire, sit down, put the meat on your knife and hold it over the fire. And that's amazing IF that's what you're looking for. If you want a game you can sit down and get a huge amount done in 30 minutes and a game that gets to the point, then this game isn't for you. If you're the person who wants to sit down for an hour or so, and enjoy every single second of an amazingly constructed game that takes it time with it's story and gameplay, then this is for you. I am the latter so I enjoyed this game to the extreme and it would be a 10 out of 10 as I said if it wasn't for the fact that it does feel a little slow at time even for someone like me who has time to waste and enjoys the minute tiny things this game does so well. The story is long and at the end it did kind of feel like it dragged for a bit but that was no where near enough to ruin it. I would recommend this game to anyone who has the time to really sink their teeth into it, and a little bit of patience.… Expand

    This is the only game where I'm actually motivated to 100% complete, and not just to get the Platinum trophy. Even after I finished the story, I still end up having a lot of fun just by riding around the map. It's also one of the most "immersive" games I've played. So many details. DETAILS.

    Only bit of complaint I have are the controls, which I did get used to. Turning on "Toggle to Run" instead of "Tap to Run" helped a lot. The interactions are a little clunky as well and I ended up doing a lot of things I didn't mean to. I do think they could fix them in a patch or something, and if they do, the game will get a 10 out of 10 from me!    … Expand

    The gameplay is varied and very fun. It gives you mundane tasks in order to get you into the atmosphere but not to the extent where it feels like a chore. And the variety of missions, side-missions and tasks is simply outstanding.

    The story is well crafted, beautifully ties into the previous game, masterfully develops the characters, and ends with a well crafted bang.

RDR2 makes you care about so many characters in a way most other games fail to.

Сказать что это игра одна из лучших за всю историю индустрии - ничего не сказать. Даже игрой ее назвать сложно. это скорее произведение исскуства. Я не идеализирую ее, идеальных игр нет, но.... если посмотреть на другие игры, на отношения разработчиков к ним и на то какую рабьоту проделали те самые разработчики я не могу поставить 9-ку. Именно эта оценка достойна игры. 9 тверлых баллов с плюсом. Почему не 10? Потому, что игра не лиршена минусов. За них много сказано. Лично для меня это немного корявое управление (особенно во время лута). Но +1 бал я накидываю разработчикам, которые проделали титаническую работу. Первые 10-15 часов геймплея я не переставал удивляться насколько в игре много проработаных мелочей, как скурпулезно разработики отнеслись к своему детищу. Не оставив без внимания ничего! Как только игра перестала удиивлять своими мелочами у меня открылся рот от сюжетных поворотов. Персонажи игры стали такими близкими. Ты начинаешь им сопереживать. Хотя я не любитель глубокого погружения в виртуальный мир игры эта игра меня очаровала. Мне просто иногда хотелось скакать на лошади и смотреть на местные красоты. Открытый мир превосходен. Вы не найдете здесь ни одной похожей на друг-друга локацию. Природа настолько разнообразна. В общем я могу еще долго осыпать игру комплиментами.

    Ok, so I do think all those 6's and 7's are just a little bit unfair, and I'd like to explain a few things to some people who clearly have ABSOLUTELY no clue what they're talking about.
    First of all: The controls. Seriously, WHAT THE **** IS WRONG WITH YOU GUYS? The controls are pretty much the same ones as the original Red Dead Redemption, with a few minor updates. But you get the usual:    Ok, so I do think all those 6's and 7's are just a little bit unfair, and I'd like to explain a few things to some people who clearly have ABSOLUTELY no clue what they're talking about.
    First of all: The controls. Seriously, WHAT THE **** IS WRONG WITH YOU GUYS? The controls are pretty much the same ones as the original Red Dead Redemption, with a few minor updates. But you get the usual: L1 for loadout, X to sprint, R1 for cover, D-Up for whistle, L2 to aim, square to jump... The only real change I noticed was L2, when you have your weapon holstered, is for opening a sort of action menu, for interacting with NPCs, so unless people seem to have brain damage and can't tell the difference between R2 and L2, and for some reason can't see the weapon in Arthur's HANDS, I can't do anything for them. So no, your character doesn't shoot on his own. It's just following the commands (R2 with the weapons holstered triggers the classic revolver hip-fire, that you get on a lot of western movies).
    Now, no fast travel? Yeah, these are all newcomers to the Red Dead universe, because you can fast travel using a wagon, same as the original Red Dead. You can also use a train for fast travel, but you unlock the campfire fast travel later in the game.
    Broken bounty system? Where you high while playing? You punch a guy on the street, you get charged for assault, what did you want? And by no means the police goes after you if you start a bar fight (which are pretty fun, the hands-on combat is awesome), they simply come to you and tell you to go away, and that's it. They WILL circle around you and wait for the fight to finish, but then they tell you to be on your way, and if you do so, all is forgotten, no bounty, no nothing. It's up to you to just walk away or to shoot everybody like an idiot and then claim "hurr durr broken bounty system hurr durr".
    So... No. By no means the game is technically broken.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Red Dead Redemption 2 single player is a good game, but it isn't without its flaws. When it came out I completely immersed myself into its world for a straight 3 weeks and I didn't want to leave. It was, and probably still is the best looking game I've ever played on the PS4. it features some of the most breath taking, life-like cities and towns ever rendered in video games to date for consoles. In addition, the horse mechanics, animations, and physics (for people to, like when you shoot them) were among the best I've experienced as well (especially if you shoot a horse while it's moving and watching it collapse to the ground in a realistic manner, harming it's rider).

    The voice acting was great, but the overall story was predictable and definitely slower paced and more boring then other sections of the game, which did cause me to feel like, "I can't wait to get to the next part when **** goes down". The main missions and side quests were fun, but I found myself wishing I had more options to approach and achieve objectives, which did take me out of the experience sometimes. For example, if you had to get money from someone who owed it to your gang, your only real option was to go over and beat it out of them. What if you could sneak into their house at night and steal it? Or be presented with dialogue choices tied to charm or intimidation stats that could help you get what you wanted without strong arming anyone? I bring this up because I also felt like your ability to interact with NPCs was superficial. Your choices were basically 1.) Say something nice 2.) Say something mean 3.) Rob them 4.) Kill them or 5.) Ignore them and would yield a few different reactions including 1.) They'd appreciate the compliment 2.) They'd say something mean back or give a warning, and start to get agitated 3.) Become hostile toward you 4.) Try to avoid you. After a while, this feature felt more like a gimick then an immersive feature and a lot of the side quests would repeat even if you had already completed them. MINOR SPOILER: i think I sucked out the venom from a dude's leg at least 6 times, and after the 5th time the same lady asked me a ride to town across the map in the opposite direction, I just shot her because I'd see her again anyway good as new. I also didn't like the auto-aim feature because it really took away any sense of credible accomplishment during a gun fight, but if you turned it off, the reticle was the size of a dot, making aiming manually almost impossible during horse chase sequences. I also felt frustrated with the cover feature because I would sometimes try to hide behind a rock in front of me during a gun fight, but instead, I would run around the side of the rock and take a lot of damage because I was out in the open. This occurred frequently enough to cause me some frustration with the gameplay. Finally, I know this is pretty petty af. but whenever you died in the game, you would just respawn a few feet away from where you were killed and that always took me out of the experience. I would have preferred the option to save during an altercation because then you could experiment with different weapons in different scenarios, kind of like how you could with a game like Fallout 3. This way, if you died you would either reload from a previous auto-save (which you could do) or dig through a manually saved file feeling like:

    "ohh man, I **** up. Their were real consequences" rather then just reload two feet away and be like "who cares if I die, I just respawn because I'm invincible".

    MAJOR SPOILER: Finally, when you play as John, I really did appreciate how the game walked you through the process of how he acquired the farm, it was a great tie in to the first game and I do think it was necessary, but it was also incredibly borning to play through with the exception of that one mission where you built the actual farm and proposed to Abigail. I know I gave this game a lot of criticism, but I did genuinely enjoy it and it was a lot of fun.

    In regards to the online feature of RDR2, when I played it a few months back, I quickly lost interest. The economy in the game was completely broken and you had to grind an insane amount of hours to gain access to all the cool guns you used during the single player campaign, so it felt like you were working toward something that you already should have or at least be able to earn more easily. The story for the online version was also relatively weak and was a hard sell for me, especially considering the fact that you basically play as a mute the entire game and everyone you meet carries a conversation with you like that's totally normal. The pvp felt very weak as well and I think that is because their are battle royale games with much better guns and maps then what RDR2 has to offer. I quickly stopped playing RDR2 online and do not plan on returning, but thankfully, it doesn't need one.    … Expand

    I have finished Red Dead Redemption 2 3 times now and have 100% game completion on the second playthrough, but each time through made me wanting more as once its over the sense of accomplishment is unprecedented. No other game is recent memory has made me so invested in the wellbeing of a character as much as RDR2 aside from maybe NieR Automata or Persona 3.
    Arthur Morgan the main character is one of deep morales and charm, his journey has been an absolute joy to watch time and time again and should be remembered as an example of how to write a conflicting character in not just video games but media as a whole.
    RDR2 has another fantastic character worth mentioning and that is the world itself which is brimming with life and it's own story to tell, Rockstar expanded upon the barren deserts of RDR1 by adding lush swamps, snowy mountains, vast fields and the entire RDR1 map as a nice end game surprise, but each chapter will introduce you to each of these environments and the environment of said chapter helps to flesh out the tone of that chapter itself which is a great way of adding environmental storytelling.
    I've gone on about how fantastic RDR2 is but what is keeping it from getting a 10 ? 2 major problems are holding RDR2 back from being nothing short of legendary and they include wonky combat and a terrible Multiplayer component.
    With RDR2 the gunplay was said to have been expanded and some cases it has been with the new fist fighting animations and weapon executions with a hefty amount of gore to accompany it, the problem is that the aiming and turning feels unresponsive until you fiddle around with the settings but even then the recommended setting might not be to every player's taste. I would recommend using the tutorial level to see what controls work best for you to have an even better time with the game.    … Expand

    Having played this in a time where I got a lot of free time to burn makes me evaluate it now at the state I am in. 2 or 3 hours of playing time will actually net you only 30 minutes of actual progress since you will faff about.

    Story-wise, it packs a punch harder than the first game but the player choice in decisions leads to just a few different cutscenes which make people tend to go for the happy ending rendering the decision choices moot.

    Nothing revolutionary in the 3rd person shooter battle mechanics and with the auto-aim as default (gameplay suffers if its disabled) then headshotting goons is a lot easier which makes upgrade of weapons also useless.

    Side stories are interesting and great in the typical Rockstar way.

    Игра медленная для тех у кого есть время ! Графика дизайн на высоте но эпоха нета экшена маловато от рокстаров! Это не гта5 уж точно

    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.
