    It's a great game that you can play for over 100 hours. The story and graphics are amazing. There is always something to do.

    Not gonna write allot everyone in the world has played this game, so everyone already knows everything there is to know about this game, so all just give my one and only problem with the game which is the online, if Red Dead online wasn't terrible this game woulda got a 10/10 but Rockstar got too greedy.

    Story 10/10- I love the story in this game and the way it is told. You get a really good sense of all the characters and you get to go through a hell of a lot with them. At just about any point in the game you actually care about what happens to them or at least I did. By the end of the game you feel like you actually had one hell of an experience and I think few games can top that.Story 10/10- I love the story in this game and the way it is told.

At just about any point in the game you actually care about what happens to them or at least I did. By the end of the game you feel like you actually had one hell of an experience and I think few games can top that.

    Gameplay 9.0/10 - I absolutely love the gameplay, but there are some things they did that are very annoying. They wanted the game to feel very deliberate and they do this by making things go slowly. You need to actually travel around for the most part-fast travel is hardly a fast travel. You have to be in camp and it will take you somewhere, but you need to trek it back to base again. This is great at times since the world is so amazing, but I just wish there was some kind of fast travel towards the end of the game. Not everyone has 1000000 hours to run around the world map.

    Another issue is with hunting. It can be very hard to see certain animals and hard to hit em. Some of em aren't too bad, but smaller critters can be a nightmare. The other issue is with having to haul large animals back to a specific NPC one at a time....this is such a drag. I know it is more realistic, but you have to set boundaries with realism in a video game. Sometimes things are better off not being real. Think about if you got shot once in the game and you were dead-now that wouldn't be very fun, but it is a lot more realistic.

    The gunplay is great for the most part but also a hassle with switching weapons and the game constantly putting them back on your horse. This was a minor annoyance, but as the game went on it was like a small itch that you just can't scratch. On top of that on horseback it can be hard as hell to aim, so you will be using your dead eye a lot.

    Overall: 9.8/10 I love this game and I highly recommend it. It is slow and it is deliberate, but it is worth it. If you have low patience levels though, don't even bother because you wont make it far. I do wish they would change the damn weapons holding system and the way animal skins are kept, but there isn't a lot else I would change. Go play it! Then play the other ones.

This is where the game is flawed, the online is still in beta after several months and there is no way to fairly evaluate all aspects of the game.

    The story / campaign is absolutely brilliant with a huge amount of side quests and unmarked quests too. However, it all falls apart in the multiplayer. While the main story kept me wanting to come back day after day to play it, and even playing through a second time straight after i finished the 1st run. The multiplayer was a chore to play and boring.
    Overall.... definitely worth buying

    The story is nothing special, basically Red Dead Redemption 1.5.
    People seem to praise graphics but they're just blurry.
    Hype over actual content and quality of the game, that's basically all Rockstar games made after GTA IV.

    Red Dead Redemption 2 was one of the few games I picked up on release day last year, and it took me around five months and that was because at first I was enjoying my time with the game but that slowly changed I found elements to be tedious and monotonous, by the time I got to the prologue I just wasn't as interested in seeing the story play out and so it became a game where I would playRed Dead Redemption 2 was one of the few games I picked up on release day last year, and it took me around five months and that was because at first I was enjoying my time with the game but that slowly changed I found elements to be tedious and monotonous, by the time I got to the prologue I just wasn't as interested in seeing the story play out and so it became a game where I would play if I had nothing else I wanted to play as I just wasn't enjoying the overly realistic approach to the game as it made it far harder to have simple dumb fun.

    Let’s break it down, the game's story is possibly one of Rockstar’s best and while I didn't find it as interesting as GTA 5's story I did find myself enjoying two thirds of the story as I said I drifted away in the prologue as it felt like it was added purely put smiles on the faces of Red Dead Redemption diehard fans it was small quest all about how such a small insignificant part of the character's journey I personally don't feel like it needed to know the majority of the prologue it could've been kept ambiguous and I wouldn't have a complaint. But it was that portion that let down the entire game for me as I just stopped caring and lead to me not reminiscing about the experience from the first two thirds the parts I actually enjoyed and at points loved.

    How realistic is too realistic? That is a question I asked myself towards the end of the game, I've always enjoyed free roam games because it's usually a game I can pick up and play and just have some dumb fun for an hour with Red Dead I found myself getting bored at the constant stocking up your health, stamina and dead eye with consumables, you also had to clean your weapons to ensure it fired with the best damage, and if you want to try out a wacky hair style have fun waiting for it to grow as the magic barbers don't exist. And while I see that someone will enjoy these features I just didn't care for it by the end I would've preferred an option to turn it off and just allow regen so I can just mess around in this huge open world without thinking well I can't start a shootout because I haven't got many cigars meaning I'm not allowed to use deadeye, it just slowed down the game to a pace that made it tedious and boring.

    Read Dead Online, how could it fail? GTA 5 is overall an enjoyable experience with so much content and ways to play and the original Read Dead's multiplayer was incredible I put as many hours into that as I did with the single player and I just didn't find it enjoyable, it has so many features from the single player causing the same issues and it forces the story down your throat trying it's best to assure you play through it to a point where I just stopped caring and stopped playing and from what I can tell it's failed nowhere near as many people play is as what was expected.

    Now even if I’m mostly negative in the review you must understand this game still has so many elements that are incredible it’s going to go down as one of the best games for several reasons and I’m pretty sure you can just look at any other review and you’ll find all those reasons so I don’t feel the need to go into detail here but just understand I would still say this is a good game just not the best game for me.

    I think this game could've been amazing game, but it's just not an amazing Red Dead Redemption game, it has elements that would work in a DayZ or Arma setting with the large open world with realism elements the multiplayer could've had so many elements that would lead to huge roleplay servers but with Rockstar running all the servers that won't happen for now. I hope we see a Red Dead Undead Nightmare 2 as I think many of these elements will work better in that compared to a traditional Red Dead.

I see people saying how anyone who likes this game is dumb or delusional or whatever other troll comment possible and that is a demonstration of pure ignorance and stupidity. Not every game is made for YOU. Get that through your heads lol. Some people praise PUBG as being some kind of god-sent video game for the ages, yet I find it to be mindless, repetitive and un-rewarding... Just like every battle royale ever basically. But that doesn't mean that people who like it are stupid. Thinking that IS. Different people enjoy different things. End of discussion. Brats. That isn't to say that this game is perfect... no game is. like... ever. But it's perfect for some, which is something that I think needs to be respected and understood. There's really no reason to insult people who like something you don't. Let's face it this isn't exactly what you would call some kind of objectively bad game. It certainly isn't for everyone, but it also isn't the worst game ever made like some people have been commenting. That's just brainless hyperbole, aaaaaaand some kind of strange level of entitlement that you only seem to see in gaming communities. ''It's not my type of game, therefore it's a piece of crap''. SO stupid lol.

    Some people (myself included) really enjoy the slower paced ''realistic'' feel of the game. It works to make the game deeply immersive as you feel grounded in the game world. Speaking of game world. well.. The game world. Holy smokes, man. No other game has created something this immaculately well designed and interesting. The only thing that comes close is The Witcher 3. Tons of mysteries, Easter eggs, quests, interesting locations, bizarre characters and random events. One thing it does do better is making the world feel genuinely alive. Insane amounts of dialogue have been put into the game which leads to tons of different contextual conversations, comments, fights, insults, and much more. It rarely feels like you've heard something twice out of a particular NPC's mouth or even between different characters which is amazing. The fact that you can listen in on long-winded conversations without it feeling forced is great. Sometimes listening in can even give you hints towards some secret treasures, side-quests and other things of that nature. This gives you this cool feeling of ''If I hadn't listened I would have possibly completely missed that''. Maybe it'll be cash, maybe it'll be a side-quest where you hunt down a serial killer of even a vampire in one of the main cities! Overall good stuff. In terms of visuals I don't think there's much I can say that hasn't already been said, even by haters of the game. It looks ridiculously good, ESPECIALLY for a console game (I'm running on a PS4 Pro). It'll be interesting to see how it will look on a gangster PC rig once it releases there. 'Nuff said lol.

    In terms of gameplay, a few things need to be said. The third person controls can feel particularly weighty and sluggish at times, no argument from me there! I've recently restarted the game and decided to play in First-Person this time around. This is a much better way to play for those who don't enjoy the weighty feel of the original camera. I've managed to tune the settings to make it feel like an actual FPS. Turned off auto-aim, adjusted deadzones, aim acceleration, stick sensitivity, and in all honesty it does wonders to make the game feel more fast-paced in the shooting sections. It also allows you to do things like strafing while shooting. You can also change the control scheme to ''standard FPS'' so things like sprinting are no longer relagated to tapping X until your thumb goes numb, you just click R3 like you would with any other shooter. It even feels like Arthur walks at a faster pace because in first-person you either jog or sprint. If you want to walk you just input slightly on the joystick. MUCH better feel than having to hold down X to jog and tap incessantly to sprint. I also recommend making the cover system automatically switch to third-person and I also do that for horse riding. Only on-foot is standard FPS feel because shooting from cover or horseback in first-person isn't ideal I find. But again, different strokes for different folks.

    I, myself, also really enjoy the story. The voice acting, the facial animations and the situations your band of bums go through feel legitimate. It'S not perfect but in all honesty I find most games fall flat with their storytelling. Not this one (in my opinion). Motives are clear, well explained and acted. This isn't mentioning the variety of side stories and mini self-contained stories you cna stumble across during your travels.

    In conclusion, RDR2 isn't a perfect game by any stretch but it comes closer than most games ever have in my personal opinion.

    The game has a weak plot, terribly boring, every time you need to ride a horse to get to the destination point.
    The game is soapy, rockstar could make the game without any smoothing the console would stand but could be in a stable 30 fps and not with decay (poor optimization)

    It has a HUGE world with a ridiculous number of things to do. But as much as they try for immersion, the (almost literally) shoot themselves in the foot over and over. I spent way too much time trying to stand in exactly the right place for a prompt to appear and doing the wrong thing when it changes. I started a bar brawl when I accidentally choked a woman attempting to play poker. I kept going into fights under-armed because my character put my rifles back in the saddle bags. My horse constantly ran directly into trees. You know. Just like the Old West.
    it really tries, but never reaches the heights of the first game. In fact, the epilogue is probably my favorite part, but it goes on for way too long. Overall, the good narrowly outweighs the frustration, but it could have been so much more.

The story is on an unrivalled level and is constructed perfectly, with exceptional dialogue and writing, the characters are charming and funny, each with their own distinct personality that is easily distinguishable and identifiable. The gameplay is smooth and fun, if it's not fun then why play it? The game is simple to pick up but difficult to master, the player has the freedom to go about the world, which is immensely vast whilst still having the player at mind.

    The singleplayer mode is perfect in every sense of the word and easily one of the greatest games of the 21st century yet, for that reason I am giving the game a 10, but that doesn't go for the multiplayer.

    The multiplayer is dastardly horrible, the player is completely neglected for a Pay-To-Win model. The multiplayer had vast potential but it just isn't fun. There isn't much to do, if you've played 6 hours of multiplayer then you've experienced everything that there is.

    An "open world" that forces you down one path of play. Come up on any camp / strangers - stay more than a few seconds and they start shooting you. There are virtually no friendly strangers outside the quest lines.

    Controls are frustrating (i want to mount my horse but i tackle a nearby pedestrian instead and have the entire police force after me and now i have a 300 bounty to pay - probably about 150 rabbit skins LMFAO. The same button that says hi to somebody also pulls a gun and can shoot them.

    Fishing is a precursor to repetitive strain injury on your hands and wrists. I'm surprised there is not a warning on that event in game.
    Game is an 70-80- big pretty game with little substance unless you consider feeding horses and chopping wood substance. Want to see the great outdoors and wildlife - my advice is to actually do that in real life.

You have to do everything and at first this seems like a great idea because the animations are amazing and the details are huge. But after a while, it just gets tedious. The graphics are amazing and even at a base PS4 it looks gorgeous. Lightning effects are some of the best I've ever seen in a game and the story is classic Rockstar, a huge, well written chaos. Arthur Morgan could be Rockstar's best character in terms of writing and I really enjoyed playing as him. Open world is beautiful as expected and it's full of things to do. Side-missions are as good as main-missions and random encounters are big fun. However sometimes the story just drags and you really feel like you are doing the same thing all over again. One last flaw is the epilogue. I get the point but it's WAY TOO LONG. Overall, great game. Expand

    There is a balance between fun game and annoying sim and RDR2 heads towards the latter. Amongst other boring pieces of the game, what value does forcing you to walk when you should be able to run, or needing to brush your horse or have a bath so you don't lose health really add to the game? It makes it the most frustrating and disappointing experience for those who just want to pick up the game and have some fun.

    The online mode is a shameless cash grab. How anyone was surprised by this after Shark Cards in GTAO is beyond me. Further, in order to shield themselves from the inevitable criticism for their ridiculous greed and disrespect towards the consumer, Rockstar has labeled the online mode as "in Beta". It's not in Beta, they're just trying to see how much of their crap players are willing to put up with.

    Had they not removed options (private lobbies, pacifist mode, etc), had they not made another online grief fest mode loaded to the absolute brim with MTX's, this would have been a 10. As it is, with the unrelenting greed and disrespect towards their consumers, this is a 7. And they wonder why nobody is playing it.

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.

    I won't repeat what has been said already about the controls, clunky mechanics, chore like gameplay, generally boring, insane bounty system etc.

    What I have not read is how badly this game suffers with a lack of any kind of motivation system or character development. You are given everything you need from the beginning and do not develop after this point. All the weapons are essentially the same and the upgrades are extremely limited. There is little to no point in doing anything. No point in doing any of the side activities as there are no decent rewards that make the game any more enjoyable. Where are the special weapons? Perks? Infinite ammo? Enhanced abilities? Anything at all besides slightly increased cores which are meaningless seeing as you have a thousand healing items on you at all times anyway. Besides advancing the story there is no reason to invest time into this game, it simply disappears down a black hole. When you can have the exact same experience with a game that you can have watching it on YouTube, you know something is very wrong.

    Another personal gripe is the lack of enemy variety. It's only ever guys with guns and a couple of wild animals. I get that it is wild west realism but there is no requirement to approach any situation differently. All shootouts always play out in the same way (and the shooting is horrible). Where are the heavy guys or wagons with Gatling guns or steam powered giant spiders? It's all just so tedious and uninspired.

    Other people have already written about the multitude of things wrong with this game better than I ever could so I will conclude with this: RDR2 is the gaming equivalent of apple Hubba bubba. Great for that first fleeting hit and very quickly dull and disappointing. The praise this game has received is nothing short of baffling and a sad indication of the wider population's inability to think independently or critically.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. RDR 2 - одна из лучших игр Rockstar Games. Поражают нереально красивые пейзажи и открытый мир в целом. Сюжет у игры интересный, но довольно затянутый. Первый 10-15 часов я вообще играл через силу, так как игра была жутко скучной. Развитие событий началось только в середине, а под конец все завертелось еще интереснее. Графика и проработка деталей на высоте. Расстроила предсказуемость большей части побочек (принеси, убей, отнеси). Стрельба в игре реалистичная, но на мой взгляд чересчур, т.е. она соответствует настоящим ощущениям от оружия тех времен, но многим она не понравится из-за своей заторможенности. Итог такой - если вы любите динамичные игры с захватывающим на протяжении всей игры сюжетом , то RDR2 НЕ ДЛЯ ВАС. Если же вы фанаты такого жанра, как вестерн и в играх обожаете реалистичность, графику и красивый визуал - безусловно вы ОБЯЗАНЫ ПРОЙТИ ЭТУ ИГРУ Expand

    A vast, beautiful, and imaginative open world, filled with colorful characters. Deep emotional story with funny, quirky, unusual, scary, and sometimes downright bizarre side missions and random encounters. I can only imagine the amount of research that went into designing the world and wildlife in this game. From the way animals move, the seasons, the dynamic weather system and time of day events, this game's world is an absolute masterpiece. Good or bad, harmful or helpful actions influence the way NPCs react to the player and their dialog as well.. This rating system also influences some cutscenes and appearance of side missions.

    There is a lot of different animals (178) in this game which the player can hunt; the pelts and other body parts being used to craft special gear and clothing, or can simply be sold for money. Some players (like myself) enjoy grindy games. This one is a winner as far as that goes. R* did a great job immersing the player in the experience and getting the player emotionally invested in the main character.

    This game is a work of art but it isn't for everyone. There is quite a lot of time spent in which the action moves rather slowly. I don't view this as a bad thing. It is simply that the player needs to realize that this isn't the action-packed, fast paced game that GTA5 was.

    The reason why I don't give this a 10 is that there are some issues. There's issues with every game but the issues in this one seem to be ones that the devs could've and should've fixed. For example, the button and menu layouts are not very intuitive. In fact, they are counter-intuitive. You may be confused as hell the first couple hours. The removal of fast travel is another con. It's quite the burden when it takes 10 minutes to go from one place to another. The map is gigantic. Seriously freakin huge. We should've had the fast travel option earlier in the game, and should have been able to do it from a campfire like in RDR1. I understand why they didn't do this. I assume it is because they want the player to run into the myriad of random encounters. But that isn't fair to the players that just want to complete the story and not much else. The players that are going to explore are going to anyway, whether there's expanded fast travel or not.
    There's also far too many immersion breaking glitches. They are minor ones but they still matter. But I blame that on the game developing climate of today which seems to be "release now, patch later". But honestly, I expect more from R*, especially with the amount of work put into this game.

    Other than the small issues, the game overall is amazing. Once you get used to the controls and the menu, it is fantastic. It's not for everyone. Some players won't like it because it takes time to get into. The beginning is rather slow as well. Some people like balls to the walls, non-stop action and this game doesn't offer that. If you are doubtful, you should wait for the price to drop.

    i can agree that the online has some issues (mainly being pay to win ) but i am certain that rockstar games will improve the online mode over time . no game ever starts off perfect and i think rockstar did an amazing job at making a truly authentic experience that i have never seen before. I do wish they will hopefully come out with a pc port (which will mean people with the right specs will get amazing graphics ) i think the story is a great prequel to the first game. it shows what life was like for people back then in the old west how it was brutal in those days . i believe the music really adds to the style and story of the game. rockstar put an unnecessary amount of detail in this game and it shows how you cant go somewhere without getting distracted by something along the road. this game shows that with a dedicated team you can make an amazing experience.

    Buy it if you want a game that truly shows what life was like in 1899

The amount of detail put into the world building is astounding and clearly a TON of love was put into this game's atmosphere. Although the story is at sometimes a bit predictable or cliche, I find that it is probably among the best that video games have to offer, on the same level of the first game and The Last of Us. What stands out the most is the character development, no game has the amount of depth poured into their characters as much as this game. Critiques that the story goes on too long are completely invalid when you actually look at the content that time is filled with, which never dips below above average. The sound design of RDR2 is pretty well done, and the music incorporation is done incredibly well. I am a sucker for good music in video games and the few moments where music is at the forefront are among my favorite parts of the game. My biggest gripe with the game is travel, although it is immersive to ride your horse everywhere, it does become quite tedious and boring after a while. This problem is solved though when you discover the fast travel map in your camp and learn to use stagecoaches and trains. Combat/gameplay are fun enough and immerse you into the world even further. Cover mechanics can be very wonky at times, but it never bothered me enough beyond inconvenience. All-in-all, Red Dead Redemption 2 is an immersive experience that is well worth the initial $60 price tag. I insist everyone give it a shot. Expand

    Al diseñar un juego, no se puede perder de vista la jugabilidad. Por buena que sea la historia, los personajes, los gráficos, la ambientación... lo que cuenta es si te diviertes y entretienes jugándolo. Si encuentras el resultado final aburrido, por mucha calidad que presente en otros aspectos, y por más que quieras que te guste el juego, sigue siendo aburrido.

    For the best experience, play this game on the Xbox One X or a high end PC. The PS4 really struggles behind these other two platforms.

    this game is a masterpiece, does it have flaws? yes, but what game doesn;t?

    the pros: beautiful world, very realistic in many ways, like fields mountains etc look real, water, well as real as it can be I guess. interactions with AI, everyone thought the witcher 3 had good interaction with AI, but no game has gone through the trouble of having actual dialogue with every AI in the game,

    interactions with AI, everyone thought the witcher 3 had good interaction with AI, but no game has gone through the trouble of having actual dialogue with every AI in the game, where other games, if you try to talk to other AI they migth say one word or two or just grumble or ignore you, the devs went all out here,
    story is good, and for once you actually feel like your actions in the game, make a difference.
    the game does well to immerse you in the world.

    the cons:
    horse doesn't alway do as you command, and sometimes causing you to fly off, it can get very annoying at times,

    shooting: aiming is difficult, (but i am usually a pc gamer and used to pin point accuracy, so take this with a grain of salt).

    game is worth your time and money.

Like many others I'd like to complain about the slow movement and snail pace of the game because I don't have the emotional intelligence to play something that suits my current mood and gaming preferences. I expected GTA with cowboys and didn't expect to have to change my outlook or approach to playing this game. I would perhaps suggest tweaking the tedious activities like eating etc. a bit to lighten the burden or even suggest giving priority to certain safer actions in case of an ambiguous button press but then I'd be too constructive which wouldn't align with my culture of **** about everything. I could've given a provisional 9 until the little nags are fixed and the risk of of my controller hitting my flatscreen due to a few hiccups caused by ambitious design has been mitigated. This would however require me to be objective and wouldn't leave space for me sing the same old song about open world game mechanics being reused. Certainly those mechanics have always been fun and improved upon game after game, which is probably why so many people loved them. I however wanted something special, like the new ass perspective where I can see everything behind my character and use my intuition to sense the position of the enemies in front of me because first and third person is so yesterday. I also don't understand why there would be enemy camps etc. which all seems to mimic where enemies would've logically gathered in real life, instead of maybe having cowboy nests in oaktrees for example. I'd give the game an extra point for feeling the need to
    entertain political agendas seeing as I'm not trying to escape reality and the self-sabotaging unattractive demeanor of those who push them but I've deducted it for including pistols, carbines and tomahawks instead of snot bubble guns and light sabers which could very well have existed in 1899, these devs can be so unimaginative sometimes. Thank you Rockstar for 8 year's dedication just to disappoint my personal preferences, I'm sure you have no intention of ironing out any of the little bugs so scr*w you I'm going to play fortnite now.

    I have finally completed Red Dead Redemption 2, I have to say.. WOW.

    Rockstar Games have made a true masterpiece, the main character Arthur Morgan is definitely my all time favourite video-game charterer.

    The amount of detail that has been put into this game is incredible, the visuals are breathtaking despite playing this since October. Like everywhere you go, there is always small details.

    Now, I would like to discuss the AI. I'm a long time GTA V player on PC, the AI in V was terrible but Rockstar have really put in a lot effort into the AI in Red Dead Redemption 2. Also, they have really done outstanding job for the weather!

    I think Red Dead Redemption 2 definitely deserved Game of The Year in 2018, although God of War was an outstanding game!

    Many reviews from here complain about the prologue and the controls, well.. the prologue lasts about for two hours, it gives you a taste to what to expect in the story and gives you time to learn the controls. Now I have no issue with the controls what so ever, although sometimes it can feel clunky while in major shoot outs.

    Now, Red Dead Online... I'm not impressed with it. There's literately nothing to do, I hope Rockstar will improve the mode in the near future. They definitely need to add a ton of content to the mode, but at the end of the day they are calling the mode a BETA in the meantime..

    So, the technical details. I played Red Dead Redemption 2 on PlayStation 4 Pro. There is one big downside playing it on the Pro, Rockstar has implemented some weird checkerborad resolution which is resulting the game to look blurry but the frame-rate is amazing. I haven't experienced any major frame drops.

    That's all I have to say about Red Dead Redemption 2. I personally think this is the best game I have played this generation and I hope we will see a port for the next PlayStation and Xbox. (and PC of course!)

    Hello, Cowboys and Cowgirls! I've played this game since December 2018, and I've gotta to say that this is one of the most phenomenal games I've played!

    The story has far the best thing I've experienced that I enjoyed spending time with my gang! The character development: Arthur Morgan is growing on me that he has become one of my favorite protagonists in Rockstar games. It's crazy how long I'd played my first Red Dead Redemption as John Marston, but Arthur is better than John actually. Sorry, John.

    However, the map is pretty cool and interesting at the same time. There are also fun easter eggs and crazy funny bastards! The horse is pretty chunky and hard to control, but the relationship with the horse is about friendship and teamwork, but sometimes, I hate when my horse ran away from me because of the gunshots and snake-bite. It's disrespectful and annoying, but you get the hang of it. I like the weapons that it's fun to use it while fighting outlaws and lawmen. It's nice that I cleaned my weapons and relaxing like a true cowboy in the old west.

    Multiplayer, on the other hand, is not impressed and boring. I mean you don't get anything to do with this online because of shooting, riding around, deathmatch, and stranger's stories that will boost to high honor or low honor. I know it's a beta, but I hope this multiplayer will do something big instead of beta. Overall, a fantastic game and I've really enjoyed it! Rockstar strikes again!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I honestly haven't played a game with a better story or better characters. From the first cut scene in the snowy areas of Ambarino to Arthur's last breath, it was one of the most enjoyable gaming experiences i ever. The second chapter in Valentine was so fun, the whole gang was well and alive, and Arthur didn't have tuberculosis. I just want to go back and stay in that chapter for a while. After the bank robbery and Lenny's and Hosea's deaths and Arthur being diagnosed with tuberculosis I started feeling uncomfortable. I knew the faith of the gang and everything was seeming hopeless. Some of the best characters in the game died at the end, those being Hosea, Lenny, Sean, Kirean and of course Arthur, It was nice to see Arthur helping his friends achieve happiness and have a good life. The epilogue with John was nice and calm and it was really fun. Sadly we all know what happens to John after the epilogue. The negatives are minor nitpicks like not being able to move fluently and Arthur stumbling and auto-aim is kinda needed, but other than that this game is a MASTERPIECE. It is in the top 3 games I have ever played and I couldn't recommend it more. Do yourself a favour and go buy it! 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.

The graphics really arent any better than any other PS4 game out there, the controls are very frustrating and really I could go on and on, its just boring. I waited until the weekend to buy this game expecting that I would have a hard time putting the controller down. that wasnt the case.

    I have had free cheap PS plus games Ive downloaded for free that hooked me more than this game. I was playing the other night and I literally feel asleep. Its so bad Im going to be really hesitant to buy the next GTA when it comes out.

    Its like GTA without pretty much everything that made GTA fun. You will literally be riding around on a horse and forced to walk at a slow pace during most of the missions and a bunch a BS dialog. If you read through the reviews even the people that gave it 5 stars still have things to complain about...why are you giving it 5 stars haha? Have you not played any number of other games? I was expecting it to be ranked up there with...Fallout 4...The Last of Us...Horizon Zero Dawn...Titanfall 2 and so on. Not even close.

    Ive had the game for a total of 2 weeks and this morning after setting the morning aside to play it and give it one last chance I decided Im returning it this afternoon. I sat through the most boring BS missions i have ever played in a Rockstar game and that was the last straw. I shouldnt be wanting to put the controller down and do other things an hour after starting this up on a weekend morning.

    I was wondering why I didnt see anyone on my friends list ever playing it and now I know why. Dont fall for the marketing. Save yourself. The Bottom line is that this game is just flat out BORING.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Every aspect of this game is slightly broken. The inventory rearranges itself while selling items, the auto-aim focuses on random objects sometimes, ammo in inventory disappears randomly, quests don't get removed from the quest log on completion and the horse falls down regularly.

    The game has no quality of life functionality. There is no way to sort the inventory or rearrange items.

    Rockstar also broke the first rule of RPG design, which is to never strip a player of their progression permanently. In the story you will come to a point where most of your items are removed for the sake of cheap emotional thrills. There are a lot of creative avenues they could have followed to reintroduce these items and money while maintaining the story, but they didn't bother, which lead to feeling that I wasted my time in a game that at times was heavily focused on collecting items.

    This game has great potential but is marred by an incomplete release and bugs. Rockstar tried to deliver the bare minimum in a beautiful package and it shows.

    I'll start off by saying it's impossible to take game reviewers serious these days. Who are these people? A game rated at 97 should be so groundbreaking and awesome - so flawless and polished - whoever made it deserves to be deified. At that rating we're talking wonders of the world - something only the gods could do better - an event of historical proportions.

Never have I played a game with such a big open world and such attention to detail. Rockstar has truly outdone themselves with this one. Not only is the world big and filled with small details and lore, but it also has the best-written story in any videogame ever created! I have never heard such compelling and smartly written dialogue in any game before. This game has over 500 000 recorded lines of dialogue, it is truly unbelievable! And the gameplay is just amazing, a little clunky at first (which is usual with a Rockstar game), but you will quickly grow accustomed to them. As always you can mess around with the controls in the options menu.

    To sum it all up, this game is almost perfect and it`s hard to say anything bad about it. Most definitely a must-buy. 10/10!

    Like the main story is so linear that you'll forget you're playing an OPEN world game. A straight line isn't as linear as the main story. The story itself was okay, it wasn't that different from other rockstar games and wester movies. "We need X amount of money to leave the country" "we just need this one last score" The only strong point of the story is characters. Every one of them is interesting and difference, unlike other rockstar games where a lot of the characters feel like a copy and paste.

    The other thing i don't understand is the "challenges". Like most of the main challenges are super easy and then all of a sudden you get one that is 100% based on luck. How is it a challenge if it's completely on luck? Good luck with winning 3 games of dominoes in a row lol. Not only those challenges but the gold medals. Like there are some missions that's literally impossible for you to get a gold. Did they even play test it or just put in the medals as a last minute feature?

    Now about the multiplayer. Can rockstar be more greedy? Have run grinding a weekend to only get a shotgun or a week to get a new horse. Of course you can skip all of that and just pay with real money and have it instantly! That's not the only thing i hate about the multiplayer. There's almost nothing to do. There is more to do in the single player open world right now. Plus there is no invite only or private sessions, so you have to play with strangers who will most likely try and kill you the second they see you.

Is this game fun to play? yes if u like watching a movie and want to live inside a game and eat apples/feed ur horse and threathe it like an survival game.. Since this release of RDR2 I have no faith in rockstar games anymore, they will focus again on online, battle royale, and to make profit from it. My question is here: Do game companys care about gamers? No, only a few companys do but not the large ones anymore. They just want to see how much money u have in ur wallet, anyways the game red dead redemption 2 I was very hyped for is just a clunky, buggy open world game, without real living things and it is very very unoptimized, it feels like the game is released in beta/alpha state. The main character arthur morgan is okay, but very boring to play aswell, the huge problem with red dead 2 is that u cant play it as an ''GAME'', it is like an movie, because everytime when u want to start a mission u enter very long cutscenes, the only few things u do is shooting/ horse riding actually. Those meta scores of this game are way too overrated, im like serious 9,7 from 33 critics? did those reviewers got paid by rockstar? Gamers should rise up and stop those dumb ''casual'' game releases, what I want to say at last is : focus on this when u make an great game: Story > gameplay > open world > character design > mission design > and at the last GRAPHICS, GAMES are not about GRAPHICS, and YES im glad that God of War won the game of the year award, I would be ambarassed if god of war did not win the GOTY, because God of War is an REAL game, Not an MOVIE.

Some people use this bad servers to exploit people with average wifi and you dont need the best wifi because its all the same. Tested it on a much bigger wifi and a low one and game play is the same with such bad servers. They say they fixed server or game crashes but they still have not. They are thinking about the money first before the people. It has a lot of fake reviews/ people they payed to rate it good. High ratings should be flawless with constant updates. As of right now they are going to take months which could be for them 2-5 months just to release the game update that should bring out the game from beta but not promising to fix the servers. Out of all the online i played there are about 2 people for like showdowns who lag all over and everyone else are not. Most of the reviews are form kids who dont know a good game from a bad one that buggy or they are the ones abusing the bugs. There are some glitches that are not fix ether and hate when im running buy and get killed by a guy who is under the ground at most of the docks or in walls where you cant fight back. Could give a list of names of people who did it to me but they wont do nothing. As of right now they should make online separate and charge 5 dollars for it since its to bad. They are focusing on other games than this one and only feels like 1 person working on the game why its taking so long. If you knew your going to make an online wouldn't you make the online when your close to being done, this is what makes it one big joke that makes it worst than a lot of games.

    Yo esperaba algo más tirando a western pero no es así, es una historia que cuenta los últimos días de los forajidos en América cuando empiezan a aparecer las grandes ciudades y compañías.

    Gráficamente el entorno es de 10, todas las animaciones fluyen naturalmente y para una misma acción hay varias animaciones distintas. Las caras en mi opinión son mejorables gráficamente, juegos como witcher 3 o uncharted 4 lo solucionan mejor.

    La jugabilidad es abrumadora, se basa sobretodo en jugabilidad emergente. A medida que te mueves por el mapa te encuentras con infinidad de eventos que te dan la sensación de que el mundo está vivo, y no hablo solamente de eventos jugables sino de animales cazando a otros solamente xq eso es lo que hacen los animales, sin ninguna intención de que el jugador haga nada.
    El combate es lo principal y está bastante bien resuelto, con el dead eye, con gran variedad de armas y personalizaciones. Existen infinidad de actividades secundarias que podemos realizar como cazar, jugar al poker, buscar tesoros, etc.

    La historia empieza con un ritmo lento pero a mediados del juego coge un ritmo bastante bueno y te deja enganchado hasta el final. Hecho de menos algunas opciones adicionales a la hora de rolear pero Rockstar nos fija bastante la personalidad del protagonista y simplemente vemos su evolución sin poder elegir demasiado.

    Es un juego hiperdetallista e hiperrealista, técnicamente lo mejor que he probado nunca y el mejor mundo abierto que he visto hasta la fecha. Para poder disfrutarlo el juego nos invita a seguir un ritmo lento y perdernos en su mundo para descubrir todos esos detalles.

    Lo recomiendo a todo aquel que le gusten los mundos abiertos y que tenga tiempo para poder jugarlo a su ritmo.

My fingers literally start to hurt after I've raped the x button to make my character run or my horse go faster, because if you don't then it will take you hours to get from one point to the other.

And what is up with holding the x or square button for a few seconds to even start interacting with stuff? Sure the world looks real and beautiful but it's way too big. Only because you have the technological progress to create massive open worlds doesn't mean that you have to create a real life simulator. If I wanted to spend 15 minutes to get from one point to the other I could walk my dog in real life. I still have a private life, I don't have the time to spend hours on this game. I can only do 2-3 missions at a time after I come home from work because this game is so fricking sloooow. I'm actually forcing myself to play this game. I really want to like RDR2 but it's a pain. Another thing that comes to mind is that at times this game super realistic, like you have to cut your hair, trim your beard, eat, drink, take care of your horse and your gang members but when you accidentally run into a pedestrian he ir she dies and the people standing by accuse you of murder and you get a wanted level. WTF? I can't tell you how many times I paid off my bounty.
    Once again this case shows that big budget or open world doesn't always mean that it's going to be great. Unfortunately we live in a society that got used to the mentality "the bigger the better". But this time Rockstar went beyond normal proportions. I'm disappointed. I even told myself that I won't buy open world games any more.

    Esse game me encanta pela qualidade apresentada em todos os aspectos. Tudo nele é grandioso e totalmente imersivo. A Rockstar fez um trabalho excepcional e ao meu ver, elevou o padrão dos games. Simplesmente fantástico.

    There is so much to enjoy in this game. The world Rockstar has created is beautiful, immersive, at times tender and full of details to discover. Most characters are immaculately voiced, and for the most part, nicely written. The humour is subtle and believable and many of the characters are likeable. And even though the story towards the end, started to lose any real sense and becomeThere is so much to enjoy in this game.

And even though the story towards the end, started to lose any real sense and become predictable, I found it still moving.

    There are also some interesting mechanics. The honour, bounty, hunting. But at the same time, they are infuriating!

    And don't get me started on some of the quests and never-ending rides. I have to agree with many of other reviews that the game seems to alternate between an interactive story mode and an RPG. Personally, I didn't quite mind it. But would have liked to have more choice on the main story.

    But the biggest issue with this game is the controls. or lack of. Clunky, slow and a bit random at times.

    Un juego muy bien detallado, con una historia y un ambiente absorbentes que te transporta completamente a los últimos días del lejano Oeste.

    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.
