    This game is also one of the generally more immersive games I have ever played. When your horse has balls that shrivel up in the snow and hang low in the heat to me that is detail (not that my main focus are the horse balls) but that's just one example of how ever aspect of this game goes out of its way to give you a realistic cowboy, outlaw experience. Another example is that your hair grows and you have to keep cutting it and shaving to maintain your character or you can grow out your beard to change your appearance to avoid being recognized if your wanted.

    This show me that Rockstar knows how to make a game and companies like Bethesda Game Studios can take a lesson from them on how to make an RPG, with online elements that everyone, with all gaming styles, can enjoy.

    despite some mionor bugs and glitches in horseback riding, there is no problem with this game. the main and side missions are absolutely impressive. the dialouges are great and rockstar hide some pretty impresive messages among them. the combat and gunfight are truly amazing but at the start of the game they maybe hard to use but couple of hours in the game and you will love it. thedespite some mionor bugs and glitches in horseback riding, there is no problem with this game. the main and side missions are absolutely impressive. the dialouges are great and rockstar hide some pretty impresive messages among them. the combat and gunfight are truly amazing but at the start of the game they maybe hard to use but couple of hours in the game and you will love it. the graphics are amazing and i think there are no game out there that even come close to RDR2. the only problem i find is that your options to upgrade the functionality of the camp are so limited and you can fully upgrade the camp in little time and most important there is not many things in the game to buy except clothes, guns and ammos. i hope they add buying houses and properties in the online mode.

    Top stupidities I have read on why this game is so bad (read with whiny voice):

    1 - I can't run when I'm at camp. 2 - I can't fast travel from the beginning of the game. 3 - I can't skip the animation when you skin an animal. On a game that offers so much, if these are the best complains you can come up with to justify a bad rating, really, go play some random online FPS and leave

    I have also read about how many bugs there are. Of course you will find some bugs from time to time in such a game, but the amount and the severity of the bugs are sure OK. The game experience is not ruined at all.

    There are only two possible ratings for such an unprecedented milestone in the game industry: 9 and 10. I respect the 9 ratings due to the principle that there is always room for improvement, and of course they could have done some things a whole lot better (particularly on story variations depending on your choices and honor). But 10's are not about polished games with no bugs at all or easy controls, they are reserved for the few masterpieces that are released every year. And this is sure one of them. 10 for me.

I found the immersion incredible and after a while, I realized that playing the game was more about being in the environment than just executing the next goal; the environment was so rich, I often found myself avoiding the next main story objective, wanting instead to explore and enjoy the little things.

    I think this is one of the reasons I find RDR2 so good. After about 10 hours in, that feeling came back – I just wanted to be in the environment. The missions are fun, and the story is the best story I’ve found in a game, and so, consequently, I’m not in a rush to see it finish; it’s like when you realize you’re watching a really fantastic movie, and you don’t want it to end. A game offers the opportunity to immerse yourself in an environment more fully than a movie, and a correctly constructed open-world game allows you to do it at a leisurely pace rather than race from task to task, and still enjoy the time as it passes. If not, why bother making it open world? The world itself has to be the star of the show, as much as the missions, story, or anything else.

    I’ve played most open world games. Character movement is better in other franchises. Gunplay is better elsewhere, inventory management has better implementation examples in any number of other titles. However, as much as I love the other open worlds out there, none is quite as impressive to me as RDR2. The thought put into it is evident. The scale of the accomplishment is impressive. Dialogue between characters is exceptional, and when I compare it to many recent titles it makes them look lazy and amateur. Though it has bugs, I’ve encountered very few, which is a nice, refreshing change compared to the normal bug set I usually get from Bethesda or Ubisoft. This game not only feels polished, but contains all kinds of extra things that have exceeded my expectations in delightful ways. I’m not yet finished with the main story, though I feel like I’m close to the end – and I’m ready to give it the award for best story in a video game. The writing is superb.

    I acknowledge that some of this has to do with a fondness and sentimentality for RDR. To their credit, Rockstar seamlessly knitted RDR2’s prequel story into the beginning of RDR, and they knew exactly how to hit all the right emotional buttons for anyone who loved the 2010 title.

    There are always negative reviews of things. Some of the negative reviews I’ve read are, of course, not at all my experience. I’m 50+ hours into RDR2 and I’ve loved every minute of it; I don’t want it to end. A lot of it comes down to personal preference. In the seven years between RDR and RDR2, I played a lot of other open world games, and I realized very quickly into RDR2 that the pace of those games was not what the environment of West Elizabeth was all about. I remembered thinking to myself halfway through the game that someone who wasn’t patient was probably going to hate RDR2. Patience has its rewards, and sure enough, it made for an extremely rich, emotional experience story-wise, something I rarely – if ever – get from the other titles I’ve played. There’s plenty of action in this game if you want to engage action, but there’s also the slow pleasure of a casual poker game or a horse ride just to see the sights (as opposed to a ride to get to the start of a mission). Since I find the environment so enjoyable, the game works for me whereas it might not for someone who just wants to execute the main story as quickly as possible.

    I’m not unfamiliar with that desire; there are some games where I just want to get to the end because the world isn’t rich enough to hold my attention. With RDR2, as much as I want to complete the full story, I never want it to end…probably because it’ll be another seven years for a sequel.

    It’ll be worth waiting for if it’s this well made and executed. Hat’s off, Rockstar. You’re like the Kubrick of video gaming. Not a lot of output, but when you do…wow. Thanks for the good work.

    Second: It is a work of art when seen and understood the whole concept of what this game represents.

    To say that I spent more than 60hrs playing the game before even getting close to finishing it was pretty awesome! Some have compared it to Skyrim but in the wild west. I'd likely say it's more like Mass Effect 2, with the GTA Open World. You'll play through the game and really come to love or hate the various character you meet up with.

    Hunting is by far my favorite past time in the game. Either it's for the meat, the hide or if I'm looking for a new horse! It's such a fun experience that I spent almost as much time doing that than actually moving through the story itself.

    The game itself is beautiful and the areas for which you can go to are so diverse you'll never get confused or find them copy pasted. This game is a great work of art and I would highly recommend anyone to pick it up and play through it.

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...

    Red Dead Redemption 2 on a technical level is possibly the best open world game produced. The Story while not as hard-hitting in total as the original is far better than any comparable game and succeeds in gripping the player emotionally.

    One of the most engrossing games I've ever played with a living breathing open world to explore. Accompanied by a story that features a diverse cast of well written and engaging characters that invest you in their story.

Accompanied by a story that features a diverse cast of well written and engaging characters that invest you in their story. This isn't a great game because it's flawless, it's a great game because the things it does well, it does exceptionally well and those things at least to me, matter far more than more minor albeit frustrating concerns that many have already addressed.

    The controls are a bit clunky they take some getting used to and they will probably get you into trouble a few times in the early game, once you catch on to the pace of the game and have familiarized yourself this issue largely fades into the background. Another problem that has always plagued Rockstars games is insanely linear mission design, the story being told is well worth this irritation but failing missions at the drop of a hat for not going about it the way the devs wanted you to is a weirdly incongruous approach for a game where outside of missions you can go anywhere and do anything. This isn't to say the missions are bad, just overly restrictive to the point where they aren't using the game to its fullest potential.

    These gripes aside though the game never failed to keep me invested with an immense amount of content to appeal to all kinds I can see myself taking my time with this to 100% it as I do so few games these days as most of them are loaded down with unnecessary busywork, this games side activities require more thought and as such I don't feel like I'm just checking boxes.

    I can see some being turned off by slow pace of the game as the realism certainly gets in the way of efficiency, but it makes the game feel all the more authentic and I was happy for the trade off personally, The gamey nature of hunting in games like Assassin's Creed always turned me off so this is a great change of pace.

    Overall I think regardless of whether it's your cup of tea the boundaries Red Dead Redemption 2 pushes are hard to deny in terms of world design at the very least. This is the kind of exciting game I hope to play everytime I fire up a new one. More, please.

    Transportation: 9/10 The only small error is that it is way too easy to bump into trees and can sometimes take a few minutes to ride into some missions, but the horse physics are great and look realistic (You know what I'm talking about)

    Free Roam: 10/10 The best open world free roam I've ever seen in a video game, from the random encounters to running away from bounty hunters or lawmen. The hunting is realistic and compelling, you can even study hundreds of different species to know what weapon is used best for the animal. The open world is full of things to do.

    Thank you Rockstar! I did not like GTA V but here , this is a **** home run, it's amazing. This is THE DIRECTION you have to keep for all your future games.I had already loved the dark and serious side of gta 4 and its heavier gameplay, especially on the driving of vehicles. I encourage you to continue on this path.

    This game is as close to next gen gaming as you can get. Easily the best open world game since the witcher 3. If you enjoy western history or movies you will love this game. The beginning is slow yes, but if you can get past that part and the somewhat clunky/difficult controls the game has, i think you have one of the best gaming experiences of past decade and easily a GOTY contender.

    As an insurance policy in case my review is overanalyzed by some tin foil hat youtuber, I should clarify that IMO other top grossing Rockstar titles have traditionally been egregiously overrated and that I’m not some Rockstar employee giving RDR2 a free 10/10.

    Red Dead Redemption 2 qualifies as a masterpiece, easily. One of the first things new players will notice are the breathtaking aesthetics and scenery. Even if RDR2 were left as some unfinished horse riding simulator halfway through production, the look of the game alone would probably have provided me with hours of enjoyment. The soundtrack is AMAZING

    Gameplay is solid and not too clunky. Aim assistance can be somewhat obnoxious at times but is easily disabled from the settings. Glitches happen but rarely affect gameplay. Maybe my expectations were just low in this regard, but given the sheer file size of the game and the expansive maps, I was actually surprised by how stabile the game was. Creating multiple saves is quick and easy.

    The characters are much less 2D than the first game, including John. Voice acting isn’t always perfect but doesn’t detract from the story or gameplay. Cutscenes are the right length because they move the story along but don’t make the game feel like a bad multiple choice RPG.

    Setting is both fun and historically accurate. Political bloggers won’t have much of an excuse to complain about this Red Dead title, due to its fair but accurate depiction of nineteenth century America. NPC interactions are highly variable and contribute to immersion.

    Haven’t spent much time with the online beta yet but it already seems a lot less clunky than GTA online

    Very well made game. Probably a contender for best open-world game ever made.

    Some of the most useless criticism revolves around the game being "Go here, do this, go there, do that". Yeah, games have to have objectives, often where you travel.

    It plays slow, and tedious, it kicks the norms of game progression in the nads. I've never played a game that had the balls to slap your hard work in the face, and make you get weaker as you progressed just to fit a narrative.

    Maybe as a video game specifically it's not a 10/10, but when you view it as a piece of art, it is.

    Complaints about riding to missions are from people who don't give a **** to hear a story etc.

    If you just want a game for the gunplay go buy COD BLOPS 4, no story there to waste your time, you can just shoot and shoot and shoot.

Most will have fun spending hours traversing the vast open world filled with opportunities and insane attention to detail. Some, however, will find many of the mechanics to be arduous and ultimately unrewarding. I’m somewhere in the middle. I love the aesthetic and the setting rules. But the controls are clunky, the menial tasks required (to e.g. care for your horse, keep your health from faltering etc) are tiresome and the honour system is based on an extremely lame moral compass.

    Having said that, I find a lot of the user scores on here to be quite tedious. Wealth is extremely easy to come by (there are a plethora of locations where there are gold bars, $500, simply sitting there for you to take). Train robberies ARE rewarding if done right. Having a bounty on your head isn’t a pain, bounty hunters are easy enough to kill. The combat with free aim on is very satisfying (although switching between weapons could be smoother and quicker). The world isn’t “empty” at all and the expectation that it would be any different in this sense (more populated) is a little surreal: this isn’t some steampunk recreation of the West with sprawling municipalities, it’s mostly rural and reflects the kind of primitive capitalism of the time. There’s a lot to do outside of the main story. And Arthur is a better character than John.

    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.
