    Just Wow. While EA destroys games like Battlefield and Star Wars Battlefront, Rock Star just destroys it the passion behind each game they make.

    Without out a doubt the most realistic game I have ever played, it would take me hours to list the reasons why I loved it, but the only reason I didn't give the game a 10, because I feel like it was a game, for me too big for it's own good. I doubt I will ever finish everything in that game.

    Red Dead Redemption 2 - это сбор в себе всего того, что и должно быть в идеальной игре. Весь смысл в том, что кредит доверия к Rockstar Games неимоверно большой, это играет очень важную роль.

Весь смысл в том, что кредит доверия к Rockstar Games неимоверно большой, это играет очень важную роль. И не надо опять же думать про переоцененность, они абсолютно заслужили все это доверия благодаря своим предыдущим проектам. Все что происходит в мире Red Dead Redemption 2, можно охарактеризовать сеттингом игры. Лично мне Дикий Запад, Фронтир того времени всегда был интересен. Всегда интересовался в плане саморазвития, плюс пересматривал очень много вестернов. Чего только стоят фильмы Серджо Леоне. Суть как раз в том, что происходит перерастающий период, можно даже сказать быстроразвивающийся период. В игре это как раз тот переломный момент, когда прогрессивная цивилизация почти образовалась на территории Америки. И разумеется, что все погрешности, все мешающие факторы должны быть приручены, либо ликвидированы. Все эти личности как раз таки в основном и бандиты, головорезы, грабители и так далее. Вот эти ключевые моменты и завязаны в Red Dead Redemption 2, они фигурируют всегда, на всем протяжении игры за основу будут взяты именно проблемы, а ни эйфория от наступления технологического прогресса. Героям это определенно не нравится. Это их натура, их сущность, они по ту сторону реальности. В глубине души и с каждой минутой реальные мысли вылазит на поверхность все больше и больше, они дают понять, что выход один - смерть. По крайней мере выход без последствий и вообще чего-либо. И вот этот весь чрезвычайно вкусный винегрет, Rockstar Games подали идеально, подали так, как никто до них и после них этого бы не сделал. Рассказано несколько историй того времени в одном повествовании - это безупречная победа.

    Нажав кнопку запуска, я понял что все, надо уже проснуться, я сплю черт возьми. Но нет, началась загрузка (это прямо вообще мелочи, но даже появление своего логотипа Роки не оставили без внимания) и вот я в главном меню, слышен только шумок природы, как будто это абсолютное погружение из реальности в виртуальную реальность, хотя мне хочется называть ее обычной реальностью. На всякий случай я еще жду, чтобы понять что происходит, осознать и принять все происходящее к сведению. Я принял, осознал и овладел этим шедевром. Говорить что я начал играть даже в голову не лезет, если попросту, то я начал наслаждаться. Не хотелось бы вдаваться в подробности сюжета или вообще действовать какими-то обходными путями краткого рассказа. Мне просто приятно думать о ней, остальное выйдет само по себе.

    Я не сильно разглагольствовал на отдельные составляющие игры, но по правде говоря я бы и не смог уместить все в одну рецензию. Но укомплектованность своих мыслей я кажется создал, я постарался объяснить суть шедевра, она скрыта, но найти ее не тяжело. Прочувствуйте сами...    … Expand

    RDR2 delivers a vibrant, organic and authentic western, which rewards careful and methodical exploration (treasures, mysteries, secrets, easter eggs, hunts and more), that caters to both honorable and dishonorable tendencies, full of meaningful and memorable side quests crafted with passion, superbly written dialog delivered by brilliant voice actors that immerses you into the world further, NPC interaction mechanics that feel so natural and non-intrusive, characters that feel so real and human, a base camp that I actually miss when I'm out exploring the open world and where I feel welcomed with a sense of belonging and relief each time I return.

    This game is truly amazing, a real AAAA game, a next-gen game in current gen. I did not enjoy GTA V, but was mind blown by RDR 2 (I never played RDR 1), so much so I bought GTA V again to give it a second chance now that I'm seeing Rockstar in a new light.

    Gameplay is revolutionary, with so many moments where I was dropping my jaw in awe of something that's never been done before in any game. This is how you make a game. No bugs and crashes during my 100+ hr playthrough (been playing everyday since release on Oct 26 for 2-3 hrs average per session). Super smooth gameplay experience with no loading screens during my play sessions.

    I would highly recommend not to use any guides or walkthroughs as the game has tons of surprises for you when you explore at your own pace which makes the game full of unforgettable content, not the kind of filler/grindy content in some other games. Also, if you want to challenge yourself, turn off auto aim and try not to use Dead Eye whenever possible cos the gun fights feel so visceral that way. The Dead Eye mechanic though, is uber cool, a la Max Payne.

    If you're into graphics like I am, then RDR2 will floor you. The BEST graphics currently, no question. I've been playing games on PS4 since 2015 and I've seen some truly outstanding looking games like The Witcher 3, Uncharted 4, Hellblade, The Order 1886, God of War, but for me, this takes the cake. Also, one of the best things about RDR2 to me is that the UI/HUD is super clean, zero clutter. No distracting icons on screen, pointers, x-ray vision, text objectives, just a small circular radar at the bottom left that can even be switched off and pulled back up onscreen at the touch of a button. Personally, if a game doesn't look like an Ubisoft game in terms of UI/HUD, I'm one foot in.

    Hats off to Arthur Morgan, the Geralt of Spaghetti Westerns.    … Expand

    I've never played a Red Dead game before, and I had no plans on buying this based on my experiences with open world games, most especially those from Rockstar, not because I don't like them, but because I tend to get lost in the world by doing free roam and ignoring the main story quests up to a point that I get burned out or a new game releases which steals my attention, therefore notI've never played a Red Dead game before, and I had no plans on buying this based on my experiences with open world games, most especially those from Rockstar, not because I don't like them, but because I tend to get lost in the world by doing free roam and ignoring the main story quests up to a point that I get burned out or a new game releases which steals my attention, therefore not being able to finish this game at all.

    This time I took the plunge and bought the game. Since then, I've been playing for at least an hour a day (since playing for less than an hour with this game is really short). And by far I've enjoyed it and I see myself seeing (lol) this till the end. Currently nearing Chapter 4, I am now very much invested in the story, have watched several summaries of the first game even though it's not required to play this one, just because I want to know more about the back (or forward) story of the characters, the gang, and the world. That's how great the story is (so far) which made me, a non-believer, want to know more about it as I play along.

    Graphics are great and I'm just playing this on my PS4 Pro on a non-4K HDR TV. Controls are okay as well, I don't get the other reviews saying that the controls are bad. If there's one thing I'd want to change here is to add more fast travel options, but I guess they made it that way so you can see more of the world, and also because there are a lot of random stuff/side quests that you'll encounter along the way.

    So far, I'm very much in it and am expecting one hell of a ride with this game :) Will update this as I finish the game, hopefully soon. :)    … Expand

    Gave it a 9 because it is a beautiful open world that has everything you want, you just don't get the freedom to do what you want. You are constricted to the story even though it is an awesome story. There should be an option to just create a character and live in that world and do whatever.

    This is a very well-developed game, both from a technical and visual point of view. This game has a great plot, we got a lot of exciting, sharp and tense moments in it. By the middle of the game you start to get close to the main character and worry about his fate. I think this is the best game of the year and one of the best in the history of the gaming industry.

    Rockstar delivers yet another riveting story that provides a beautiful context to their original classic. With characters so rich and believable coupled with their precariously downtrodden circumstances makes for a character driven story that is wholly unforgettable.

    All of that said, it isn't perfect. I am perfectly aware and in equal measure appreciate that traversing the south of America in 1899 isn't going to be the same as cruising through Los Santos at 130mph in a supercar with nitrous speed, but in terms of gameplay the constant horse riding from point A to B is pretty monotonous towards the end of the game once the game's novelty starts to fade. Some of the mission designs are straight up archaic with dull shooting galleries with deemphasised aiming that essentially play themselves.

    All in all, it is still an excellent game that, in spite of it's flaws, earns its redemption.    … Expand

I understand the decision of only fast travel with train, but its not for all the player. Also for some mission its just a followiing a dude on your horse and I will have like to skip some of those moment, but in the same time you get very close to the character and your horse.

    the story and the visual universe are for sure incredible, for the gameplay its a bit more low, but if you like a good story and a pacing a bit low this game is for you. Also the game is very very very big and long.

    Let's start with the big questions; - Is the game a trash that I should avoid buying? No. - So should I believe on the reviewers and buy the game right now? No. - Is the game a masterpiece? Depends... The main problem with RDR 2 wasn't the game itself, but the hype created by fanboys. You can tell that by all the    A review from someone who recently got 100 % game completion

    Let's start with the big questions;
    - Is the game a trash that I should avoid buying? No.
    - So should I believe on the reviewers and buy the game right now? No.
    - Is the game a masterpiece? Depends...

    The main problem with RDR 2 wasn't the game itself, but the hype created by fanboys. You can tell that by all the opinions saying the game is immersive, massive, with a good plot and all... But the final score is a 6,0/7,0. The hype made us believe the game would be something from another world, but it isn't, it's an excellent game for the generation, but stops there.
    - The world is stunning and alive and the details are amazing for the ones who actually want to explore. You can find letters, events, people and collectibles that give you the sensation of not being the center of the world, but a mere part of it. However, you may get annoyed by how much you have to explore to actually find something.
    - The story is slow paced but very immersive, with well written characters, you will love some and hate others. The plot hooking RDR 2 to RDR 1 is smooth and well made. Arthur, in my humble opinion, is a very charismatic character.
    - The gameplay is ok, nothing much different from its predecessor (RDR 1), with the difference being on Arthur's heavier moviments. It could be better but is far from being terrible. I would say annoying, just like GTA 5, where you get stuck in places you weren't supposed to.
    - Amazing soundtrack (you may not even enjoy the game, but one of the songs from it might catch you)
    - Multiplayer its an extra, just like GTA 5, another game that people forget it has an amazing story mode and blame R* for caring too much about the online (even when the fanbase itself cares more about the online...)

    RDR 2 is a must play IF you enjoy a slow paced, well written story, with good characters and a massive world to explore (and well, it's a game about cowboys, so you should expect to ride horses A LOT, of course). The game is a very cinematic experience and has everything to be a masterpiece but it really depends on you to decide this. If you enjoy fast paced stories with tons of action (everyone loves, won't blame you) or gets annoyed by huge maps that force you to explore (or just don't have the time fo it) then you shouldn't buy RDR 2.    … Expand

His character was one the best I've ever experienced in gaming. The ending of the first RD had pretty emotional and was one of the best game endings I've ever seen. RDR2 gave me mixed emotions by the end. That's not to say I didn't enjoy the whole experience. There is so much do in the vast, beautiful landscape. The hunting alone was fantastic. Tracking down your kills felt like the real thing. Fishing can be just as annoying as it is in real life. It's just an enjoyable game and I can't wait to see the future of Red Dead.… Expand

The Long rides can drag on sometimes but this is countered by the exceptional graphics and lifelike world. the Controls could definitely be improved, as you often find yourself with clunky encounters during combat. however this game is one of the most impressive games of this decade.

I think the graphics are the best you'll see in an Open World game on the current console creation and I've had almost no bugs so far (excluded RD online).

The handful of mediocre reviews I see for this game are deluded by some presupposition of expectations that could probably never be met, I guess some folks need to dissent from popular opinion. Normally I might be that guy as well, but this game is gold. The lack of interactivity those folks tend to complain about are minute in scale compared to the overall scope of the game.

    If RDR2 were able to be in VR it would be a near-singularity experience at times as far as immersion and detail, scale and pacing. Playing RDR2 during this long and crappy 2018/2019 winter season has been a life-saver from cabin fever, as the organic and immersive experience has been a nice getaway from the sub-zero cold and layers upon layers of waist deep snow keeping me trapped indoors.

    In a world where game reviews seem bought and paid for and 10/10's are way more common than they should be, RDR2 earns every bit of praise it's been showered with and should have handily beat out GOW for game of the year in 2018.    … Expand

    -Fishing feels great
    -Transitions between different biomes feels smooth
    -Phenomenal views almost everywhere in the world
    -Animations feel smooth, and they feel like they fit the character that the animation is playing on perfectly
    -Horse riding feels good
    -Having a limited amount of weapons on your back is innovative and not too much of a drag
    -Each species of animal are different, and don't feel like they are coded the same just with a different model
    -Animals, such as wolves, team up together to beat bigger animals, such as bears.
    -NPCs have their own schedules, adding another layer to immersion

    Cons:
    -Controls feel like they were just slightly brushed over, but not as bad as a lot of people make it out to seem
    -On-foot movement feels sluggish and underdeveloped

    If you get used to the movement and controls, it's pretty much smooth sailing from there on out. This game didn't deserve the 7 and 5's people are giving it, I personally feel it's at least a 9.8 from a non-biased standpoint.

The fact that you want to do something like jump on a horse and end up punching a horse in the face and getting a wanted level which then you have to run miles away and come back later.

    Anyway, I took a long break from it and recently thought I’d go back and try it again. The same little problems have been there, like trouble climbing ladders, my horse being clipped by riders on the road and me flying off etc... but that hasn’t affected me like it did before.

    I have played at a slow, steady pace, taking my time to explore, complete side missions, hunt, bath, eat, camp, forage. I have become hugely invested in the story. So much so that I feel a real affinity towards some characters and really hate others. Yes, the gunplay is a little bland and easy - Pop a chewing gum and kill wave upon wave of enemies. Funnily enough though that hasn’t bothered me so much. Normally gameplay is everything to me. Here, it’s like I’m playing this game for other reasons. It’s for the immersion, the escapism, the simulation of being a cowboy at the turn of the 20th century.

    The combat mechanics are so dated, rockstar have used the same mechanics since gta 4, that’s 10 years prior to RDR2, they desperately need to revamp this.
    The computer AI is god awful, they don’t seem to have a brain, I mean at all!.
    The online is absolute trash. I understand it is still in beta but it’s been 5 months, it seems at this point they will never release the final version.
    The main story is repetitive, the whole game is one giant fetch quest but with mostly annoying characters and stupid decisions that get made for you.
    The game was quite unpolished at launch.

    Now onto the good things, the graphics are sublime, honestly this is one of the most beautiful games I’ve ever played. The attention to detail is second the none.
    The little details that are in this game are incredible, with the hair growing and having to cook your food and you know the thing with the horse testicles in snowy regions...
    The actual narrative is overall pretty solid, open world games tend to suffer from bad story because of the expansiveness of the world, that doesn’t seem to be the case here.
    The good characters (not that there are a whole heap) are incredible, there a certain characters in this game you can’t help but fall in love with, Sadie and John are two that’s without mentioning Arthur who is one of the best new protagonists in recent memory.

    Overall red dead suffers from outdated mechanics and hype overload. This game was supposed to be the game to end all games, in one way it was, it’s set a standard for certain aspects, in another way it was a let down.    … Expand

The latest titles that have come out (RDR 2, GTA V) have been fixing each other mistakes for each other, but they both have a common problem. Gameplay. The gameplay in these games are really lacking in opportunity. For example, you have a box of random pieces of lego that you can build anything out of (MGSV) and on the other hand you have a lego set your mom just bought you for your birthday which looks freaking awesome (RDR2). You first build the store set and you feel it wasn't very fun because you didn't have control of wether you could put a piece in or not. And the instructions are always babying you. Now you begin to play with the big old box of lego pieces. You build a cool ass spaceship, then you turn that spaceship into a cool ass car, then you turn that car into a cool ass building. Do you see what I'm going with, do you understand me you turd.

    There are many redeeming qualities about this game like the best graphics to ever be put in a form of media, the immensely engaging story that seems like it was ripped from an oscar and academy award winning film. And the actors in the game suit their role very good, sometimes. And some of the actions scenes that unfold are really not that bad. This game is very good but it has problems similar to some of the recent games rockstar has been putting out.

    I give red bed refriction two a 8/10 for not sucking donkey dick.

    The game is really awesome. All things in the game are beautiful mechanics, perfect characters, and goodless textures.

    The best is the perfect history of arthur Morgan and Jhon Marston ( Character of first game ).

    Awesome!

    I played first RDR game in 2011 on PS3 and I never stop loving this game and little I did realized they are planning sequel to RDR. When it was confirmed, I was very determined to get PS4 (I did not get PS4 on day PS4 was release) and few weeks later RDR 2 came out even I pre-ordered the ultimate edition.

I was hoping Rockstar would remaster the RDR so I can replay once again (I do not own PS3 anymore it was my deepest regret I sold but wont happen again). Also I hope RDR will be important franchise to Rockstar like they did to GTA.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. My review is only for the single player as I have not played the online (as I have no interest in Red Dead Online). Also, I never played the first game
    After spending well over 120+ hours on this game's single player over the last 2 and a half months, I can say that RDR2 is a good game, but definitively not a 10/10 perfect game. I hardly take mainstream reviews seriously these days. I still watch them from time to time, but I take what they say with a grain of salt.
    The Pros:
    • Great single player campaign.
    • Great characters with incredible voice acting and all 15+ members of the Van der Linde gang have missions that you get to do with them to get to know them better.
    • Interactions between NCPs outside of missions. This is one of the first open world games that I've seen where NPCs will interact with each other outside of missions in unique ways every time when compared to other open world games where NPCs will remain static doing the same thing repeatedly outside of mission. The random interactions between gang members combined with the missions makes none of the members of the gang feel like throwaway characters.
    • Incredible graphics with amazing attention to detail. This by far the most detailed AAA game I have ever played. From the detail in combat (i.e. bullet holes in humans and animals, bleed out kills, gore, carcasses & corpses decaying over time, etc.) to the other details in free roam gameplay are all incredible.
    • Great variety of weapons, horses, clothes, and other miscellaneous items & features to customize your character.
    • Consumable items in your inventory to restore your health and special ability, which is the deadeye mechanic.
    The Cons:
    • Bad control scheme and bad button mapping. I seriously don’t understand why RDR2 STILL uses Rockstar’s outdated control scheme. The standard fps control scheme did improve my experience and make the controls more tolerable. The controls are tolerable at best, and frustrating at their worst.
    • Bad input lag which severely affects the game’s movement and aiming. The movement and aiming in this game are slow, clunky, and stiff.
    • The free aim is a joke, and the snap in and out of cover auto-aim takes all the skill out of shooting. Yes, you can change some setting to make free aim more tolerable, but even after playing around with the setting it still didn’t feel as good as the aiming in other games.
    • Flawed wanted system.
    • Flawed honor system.
    I would have given the game a 9/10 if it wasn’t for several little things. Little things matter and they add up.
    This list is a list of little things that I had complaints about, and it is not a full list, I’ve written down all the things that I could think of now writing this review:
    • No horse insurance. You can spend hundreds of dollars buying a horse, customizing it, and spend time bonding with it to improve its stats, and all it takes to lose it permanently is death. I heard that Red Dead online has horse insurance, so I don’t understand why the single player can’t have it.
    • Weapons being locked until you reach a certain point in the story.
    • Your character always holstering your two equipped long arms in your main horse every time you mount it and having to re-equip them every time you dismount.
    • The non-existent stealth mechanics outside of missions.
    • Having to get out of cover and/or having to tap R2 again after firing to rechamber a round into the barrel chamber of your weapon.
    • Missions being very linear and restrictive in the way that you can approach them and handle the combat scenarios.
    • Flawed inventory system that could be improved.
    • Animals not always appearing in the area that they are marked on the open-world map.
    • Some animals being so rare to the point that the standard version is more legendary that the legendary version (i.e. grizzly bear, moose, panther, armadillo, etc).
    • QTEs to free yourself from a predator’s grasp instead of a button mashing sequence.
    • Restrictive slow movement in camps/safe zones which does nothing but slow the pacing of the game for no reason.
    • Camp chores being useless filler content. You can get honor a lot faster by going into town and greeting every NPC you see.
    • Slow start to the game.
    • Slow looting and interaction with items. This one is more subjective, but I have to say that the detailed looting animations look cool the first couple of hours, but after 40 hours, they get tedious and annoying.
    • The number of things that need maintenance in this game. The sheer number of things to maintain in this game start to get in the way of having fun.
    You would think that I hate the game for the sheer number thing that I complained about, but the thing is that underneath all the flaws, there is the potential of an incredible game. All in all, an 8/10.    … Expand

    every thing top notch except
    combat, chunky movement, lack of proper fast travel, mostly empty open world, late game mission are not good as earlier mission, very detail animation are good at first but gets in a way later, HDR implementation in not good.

    Patiently waiting for the PC release so I can get back to the wild west I cared about, back to the character I i felt I lived with during my 40 hrs of gameplay. The slow movement adds to realism and the PC version will have less input lags so that's going to change a lot of people's minds on the slowness of movement. Great job R*

    Absolute triumph in gaming, there have been four revolutions in gaming, one was Doom, another was Resident Evil 4 and third was GTA 4 and fourth was Red Dead Redemption 2. All mediocre meaningless open world games that have bunch of empty land, boring characters that give you meaningless quests, like in Horizon Forbidden West, can't get even close to greatness of RDR2 or even GTA 4.

    It's rare to find a game of this quality and with so much emotional depth. You feel personally involved in its world, no matter how many other people may have played it. Rockstar has certainly done it again. Best game I ever played, right next to RDR1. I just wish these games weren't such a difficult task to create and that there was less "crunch" involved.

    Looks great but plays not so great.
    Good: graphics, story, dialogue, voice acting, attention to details, content volume, etc..
    Bad: control, gameplay, game mechanics, quest design, etc..
    It takes a lot of time to finish and it can get tiresome at times. But the main story along with the side quests in Chapter 6 got me emotional so overall it was worth it.

    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]
