    The game is very, very scripted during missions. This is at odds with the rest of the open-world part of the game. During missions you can fail for the simplest of things such as veering off path for a few seconds, not following along the rigid path closely enough, and so on. It also has a habit of forcibly slowing you down or taking away your control in some other way. You can be runningThe game is very, very scripted during missions. This is at odds with the rest of the open-world part of the game. During missions you can fail for the simplest of things such as veering off path for a few seconds, not following along the rigid path closely enough, and so on. It also has a habit of forcibly slowing you down or taking away your control in some other way. You can be running around then suddenly be forced into an agonizingly slow walk or you'll suddenly realize during a mission that while you're riding your horse, you actually can't do anything but ride straight ahead. You can't turn left or right, you're forced to move along with the others. In situations like that I don't know why it couldn't have just been a cutscene instead. Overall it's boring as ****

    Besides the awful controls, my main problem is that a lot of time in game is spent doing pretty much nothing. The world is absolutely massive yet barren. The points of interest on the map are separated by huge, empty expanses of nothingness. Going from point to point while exploring the world or during missions, it struck me how much of this “dead time” there was in the game. There is so much galloping around while listening to people talk, and not everything the NPCs say is interesting. There are even missions where you go far off to an area, then go back, then go back to that area again.

    Overall: 5.5/10    … Expand

    this kind of game... rare in this days, worth 60$. RDR2 and GOW are GOTY material, these games are piece of art, not just fun multiplayer trend games than died in few years.

    I don't get why people give it bad reviews because they thought it was boring I get why they might be upset but that really shouldn't account for your bad review. It does get long and boring in areas but the story and the gameplay not to mention the setting keeps me going and keeps me playing all the way through.

Остальное - ну серьезно, нафига вам нужны там всякие припасы? Собирая лут по миру у тебя не просто не будет недостатка в припасах, а будет лютый ИЗБЫТОК. Убогий список вооружения. Одна винтовка спрингфилда с экспресс-патронами на апгрейде кладет любого соперника почти с любого расстояния одним выстрелом. Что еще нужно? Изи кил. Абсолютно дурацкая система чести. Игра просто ЗАСТАВЛЯЕТ тебя быть хорошим, а простите - какой в этом кайф и смысл? Более того - одно неосторожное движение в результате которого ты кого-то толкнул или пробыл рядом с кем-то лишнюю секунду и по тебе начинают палить. Отвечаешь ему тем же? Сразу получай штрафы, законников и минус честь!!! Я просто прокачал стартовую лошадь так неплохо и она на одном тонике может проехать от одного конца карты до другого, а я поиграл от силы часов 30. Скорость лошади тут нафиг не нужна, ибо твоя лошадь все равно всегда всех догонитуедет от всех.

    Да, это ГТА с реализмом. Да, случайные события сделаны действительно классно, но деньги тут нужны не больше, чем в той же вайс сити, талисманы и амулеты бессмысленны, так как игры очень легкая, а это еще один ее минус. Абсолютно убогий сюжет и отсутствие влияние игрока на этот самый сюжет. Это просто ХОРОШАЯ игра.

    Это даже не уровень ГТА4. Искать дорогие машины и пытаться не разбить их, когда на них катаешься - круто. менять образ с быдлюка на солидного дядю, покупать недвижку, создавать банды - супер!! Беспределить и РЕАЛЬНО ИСПЫТЫВАТЬ ТРУДНОСТИ С МЕНТАМИ - КАЙ! ( А НЕ В СОЛО ПЕРЕСТРЕЛИВАТЬ ВЕСЬ ГОРОД БЕЗ ПРОБЛЕМ). Твою мать, даже шлюху в этой игре снять нельзя. Как по мне, так РДР2 это возможно ХУДШИЙ ААА-проект последнего времени, если мы не берем в рассчет такие высеры как баттлфилд 5, а смотрим на действительно мощные игры типо год оф вар, гта, масс еффект и т д.    … Expand

    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.

Some of the restrictions like being unable to run in camp are plain irritating. The menu system is also a bit of a mess and can be hard to find what you're looking for at times.
    Overall the main story line is enjoyable but there's a lot of nonsense to put up with along the way.

    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.

    This is my first game review. I haven't even finished the main story of RDR2, not most of the side quests, but wanted to get my thoughts out there. While I think this game is incredible, it's not perfect and to be honest it has a lot to learn from another game developer, Bethesda. There are many aspects from Fallout 4 I would love to see in a future Rockstar release.

    1: There's no fast    This is my first game review. I haven't even finished the main story of RDR2, not most of the side quests, but wanted to get my thoughts out there. While I think this game is incredible, it's not perfect and to be honest it has a lot to learn from another game developer, Bethesda. There are many aspects from Fallout 4 I would love to see in a future Rockstar release.

    1: There's no fast travel. I have spent way to much IRL time galloping across the map to get to quests. It's gotten so annoying that I am hard focusing on the main quest, ignoring the side quest right now. I prefer Fallout 4's method where you have to discover every new place once, but afterwards there is a decent fast travel system implemented.

    2: While RDR2 technically has a first person shooter mode, it is not good. Funny enough Fallout 4's first person shooting is more conventional, and more to my liking, but Fallout 4's 3rd person is unplayable. I would like an open world game where I can switch between Rockstar's 3rd person and, any competent first person shooter.

    3: Fallout 4 has a faster body looting system. I don't like it when Arthur takes forever to loot all the bodies he kills. Also Fallout 4 lets me steal clothing, why can't I do this in RDR2? Some of the enemies have cool looking clothing, but I can only steal their hat?

    4: I prefer the settlement building of Fallout 4 to the pre built camps from RDR2. In Fallout 4 I got to help customize my crib, I can't give the campsites any real character or arrange them. I'm not saying RDR2 needs to have physics breaking moments like Fallout 4, but I would like the ability to customize my crash pad.

    5: Fallout 4 and RDR2 have weapon management issues, but I slightly lean in the direction of Fallout 4. This is because Fallout 4 allows me to carry LOTS of unique weapons, meanwhile in RDR2 I get the sense that weapon carrying is more limited. While I love the weapon wheel from RDR2, and the multiple ammo types, I do wish RDR2 had a little bit better weapon variety. I understand the game is set in a realistic setting, but I can dream I guess.

    6: V.A.T.S has a more user friendly activation. While overall I prefer Dead Eye, I would like to press a button to activate Dead Eye and for it to be easier to use such as V.A.T.S. You can re balance Dead Eye, but I don't use it very much because I don't find it too easy to use.

    7: Fallout 4 has a drug crafting system which is more interesting and, for me, easier to use/figure out if it exists. I love Jet and Psycho in Fallout 4, I wish there was a counterpart in RDR2.

    8: Fallout 4 does not hide any weapons behind progression in the main story line. I haven't finished RDR2 story, I can't get access to the repeating shotgun. I want to buy it so bad, but for "reasons" I can't get it.

    9: Fallout 4 allows you to bring a cute dog with you into combat. After doing this, I am going to want to bring a dog with me in all open world games.

    Bonus issues I would like to vent about:

    Why does this game keep putting my damn weapons in my horse? I should have restarted a few missions after realizing my weapons didn't come with me after I get off my horse.

    These are my thoughts. Let me know what you think.    … Expand

Finally, I can't stand any of the characters.

    The voice acting is adequate, but the dialogue and voices are very heavy-handed sterotyped old western, they could have dialed it back to make it less distracting. Perhaps the director for the game's voice actors was a 12 yr old? I hate arthur's voice, it's gruffness is hyperbolic and annoying.

    The gameplay is awkward, slow, and controls are unintuitive, lack a predictable learning flow. This really hurts gameplay.

    The way the game forces you through the narrative lacks a feeling of freedom. It's also poorly written. There's tediousness in having to shampoo your horses's feelings and shampoo arthur. Give me a break, It's boring.

    To sum it up simply, this game feels like a horribly long demo that is visually beautiful. It's not worth the time and energy. I would wait to buy it used at a much lower price to give it a try. Cheers.    … Expand

The game also makes the weird choice of making it almost impossible to be bad as the penalty is too high and there is no point either to doing so. This makes the game very linear and not very fun like in a GTA title or other modern games that give you true freedom. But the worst flaw in this game is decade old controls, this works in GTA because you do a lot of driving which controls well in that game but in this game in 2018 it feels very amateur and clunky. This would have been a masterpiece if they could have added some decent career progression, fixed the controls and made the world more dynamic and your actions actually made impacts on people and the world. I have no idea how this scores 10/10 from almost every game reviewer, they must have got some serious swag and or money for it. realistically its a 7/10 or 8 at best only because it is still pretty fun to ride around especially in the first 5 hours.

Just try not to run anyone over with your horse or go too far away from the NPC, otherwise you'll have the same 5 minute ride ahead of you again, no option to skip, the NPC delivering the same speech.
    How about running on ice? Do you like that, cause that's what moving around on foot kind of feels like. How about horribly contrived controls? The same button is used for getting on your horse as robbing a person on the street. That means that if you try to get on your horse, but a civilian is closer to you than your horse, you're going to jump the civilian. You now have the cops on you. Hope you weren't on a mission, cause you now have the intro horse ride to go through again.
    Do you like internet trolls? Then welcome to RDR2 online. Great idea in concept, but a complete waste of time. The controls in this game are not good enough for PvP to be any fun, yet that seems to be all the community is interested in. There are some PvE things available, but good luck getting a posse together for any of it.

    The most commendable thing about this game is the sheer scope and amount of work that went into it. They have definitely built an impressive world to inhabit.

    I heard a lot of comments against criticism of that game, basically saying, that if you don't like the game, it's because you are cod or fortnite fan, a child who needs constant action and simplified gameplay.
    I'm 30, been playing games since I was 5, growing up with nes and amiga 500. I enjoy slow paced games like dark souls, or strategy games like x-com where game's basically not moving forward unless you make a move, but red dead redemption 2 is simply casual to the point it's offensive.

    When you make a truly big game like this, when you put huge money into development, you have to target it to the masses to make your investment pay off. The way it's done with RDR2, is no different than hollywood block busters - you make a product that is visually impressive, but in the most mediocre taste possible. Must be pretty, must be easy, must be for the masses. I don't mean to sound arrogant, but true.

    Boring, slow story, awful quests. Sure - world is huge, and you often have freedom as for order in which you want to do some quests. But once you start doing them, they are very linear. Example. you'll ride 10 minutes to a place of a quest. You'll watch 2 minute cut scene. You will have to destroy some door/window than. the device to help you with that, will be standing literally next to the door. The game is open, but it tells you what to do constantly. You have freedom about where to go, but no freedom of how to deal with things. A lot of quests will force you to do boring mini games. Example - lift up the wheel holding 'up'. Now roll the wheel holding left. Now push the wheel holding 'right'. Now hit the wheel few times to attach it by pressing x.

    Gameplay. Worst part of the game. Super casual, slow and unresponsive. No skill required. No point hiding behind covers - your enemies will die of age before your character will roll his ass behind cover. Aim assistance is so strong by default, that when aiming from behind a cover, game often was pointing at the enemy I was not even aware of. Just automatically aiming at the enemy without any assistance from me. Shooting feels bad, like in all rockstar games. Even worse than shooting, is the movement. Moving your character feels like rolling a stone up the hill. When you're running and you stop all of sudden, it takes your character around second to actually stop moving. Defenders of the game will justify it with realism but that's no argument. In reality if shot at, I would run to the cover and drop on the ground in a blink of an eye, In that game it takes forever. in reality you wouldn't be able to take few gun shots on the chest, and than just eat canned peach and be like new. You can't justify clunky mechanics with realism. The game doesn't even allow you to run in a lot of places, for sake of 'realism', but it's super unrealistic in other places.

    Generally, this game is divided into riding a horse, talking and talking, cut scenes, poorly executed shooting, and mini-games. If you like playing with toys, you'll most likely enjoy that game. You can brew coffee, wash every limb of your body separately, pat your horse, feed your horse, brush your horse. You can dress up, and dress up your horse. Trim your facial hair. Basically sims. You can play the house. You can play tamagochi instead - similar experience.

    I remember reviews praising 'alive' world and side quests. I've done 4 side quests. 2 of them, were like this - one a way from one location to another, I rode for like 5 minutes, met a women who's horse died. I helped her to lift the horse (little game called 'lifting a horse' that is about pressing x button), and than rode her back to the town I was just coming from. I don't know what kind of people find this fun, I don't. Other side quest was about chasing some animal, that stole some bag from some dude (I'll spare you details to avoid spoilers). Side quests and alive world is nothing but filler.

    This game, I think, is genre and era defining. It's great, borderline perfect to me. I've never been as immersed and impacted by a game, maybe ever. That being said crunch and exploitation are what made this game possible and I can't/won't forget that.

    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.    … 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.

    Starts out well (RDR 1 is my favorite game of all time). But this one degenerates into unrelenting tedium. By the end, no spoilers, I was deliberately skipping ahead in missions. The time it takes to travel, plus the repetitive encounters and banal dialogue, made this game excruciating. I'm still not done at 95% and I want to die.

    The level of constrained freedom fits perfect with this game, every character is interesting and it only adds to second game in this franchise, Red Dead Redemption.
    I'm reviewing the singleplayer game and experience. I'm hopeful for Rockstar's next game to be as good as this, but I won't be surprised if this is a one time occasion of absolute master craft in terms of gameplay, story and detail.
    People that argue about the gameplay being clunky, I get what you mean. But that's Rockstar's style, on the options of freedom to choose during missions and that it is heavily scripted, this is not an RPG. Lastly, the video game is slow, etc. because it fits the style of the game, if you do not like the pace it is fine, but that means you don't like the Western style, Western is a more nuance genre than GTA's 'jerking off' genre.
    So, in conclusion, this game is for the players that like to dedicate themselves in slow paced adventures with more than enough action over it. :)

    Red Dead Online, well, for me it is best left untouched because of the awful micro-transactions and the extremely toxic players that will attack you on sight.    … Expand

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

Feels like you travel on a horse for about 10 minutes in real time, for a ride that would probably only take under 5 if you were not restricted of movement. If your in camp, you walk. Indoors? Your walking. Scouting a boat? Your gonna follow it on your horse.....in a slow trot for 10 minutes, all because the game locks your speed in certain areas and locations for i don't know, immersion? Dialogue? Cinematic Effect? I get it, this games scope is to be an immersive western experience, but it is not fun to move a character who feels like he has cinder blocks tied to his feet, especially since there is NO FAST TRAVEL. Also in between locations you could technically "hunt" or stop and help people, hunting is basically lock on, shoot the animal on your horse, get off, skin it (which is a good 10 second animation), put it on your horse, and keep going. Congrats you just make 0.13 cents, that's about a cent for each animation your gonna watch.
    Helping people however i will say feels pretty good, and you do actually find that stopping to help these people really pays off by either getting items or some other payment. But i don't understand how i feel about spending 30 seconds to suck venom out of a guys leg and giving him some whiskey giving me more satisfaction than an hour in a main quest. I mean one guy gives you a free gun from the shop basically, and you only spent 30 seconds to help him. However some main quests take 20 minutes of horse riding and 10 minutes of lock on head shot combat to give you 1600 bucks, and 1000 of that is "the gangs cut". And just a tip, don't die, cause chances are, your gonna have to travel all the way back there, or sit through another long dialogue scene, and don't get me started with the panning sky shot of your character coming back every death. If you have ever saved and loaded the game, you should know how long that shouldn't take. I don't know if there is a faster way to save, but as far as i know all you can do is menu to it, and save it. But thats not nearly as bad as the loads. Dear god the loads....

    My next point is the controls which could kinda be thrown in with pace of game. I remember when i first got to valentine, i got wanted for running someone down on a horse in the first 5 minutes because i could not stop my horse. I just bought a gun from the store? Walk outside hit L2 to start dialogue, accidentally aim at the sheriff now i'm in a gunfight with the whole town. You are either sprinting with 0 control pissing people off, or you are basically crawling around begging for someone to put you out of your misery. If your riding your horse, and you scratch a rock or tree, or you fall about a foot, your gonna go flying. Just super poor controls, not a single positive comment i can make on them.

    The story gives no "redemption" either. Missions are tedious tasks, kill other gang members, steal stuff, or save fellow gang members. Combat is basically lock on shooting, soooo i'm not even gonna waste a sentence to tell you why that's unacceptable. The inventory system is so lame, so bad in fact that NPC's have to remind you not to forget your weapons on your horse. Let me put the weapon up if i don't want to hold it, it shouldn't be a forced storage system. Its an open world RPG, and ive never felt more limited in my choices. All of these things end up making your quests feel just exhaustive by the time it's over.

    I will take one moment to talk about some of the things i do enjoy about the game. The environment, can be so good sometimes that it almost makes you forget that you are a slug. I also give some respect for the voice acting, the actors add a western immersion more than just about anything.

    In conclusion, this game has been mostly disappointing. I know I've just been ranting my frustration out on here, but this is a $60 AAA title from one of the biggest game studios ever, there is no excuse for some of this stuff. They've lost focus with their target audience, if you're going to make an immersive western experience with lackluster controls, at least make a story that won't let us set the controller down. Honestly i could bump up my review to a 7 if the controls and combat were just better.    … Expand

    When you die the game takes away ALL your pelts and reloading an earlier save does not get them back.
    Not to mention "Dead Eye" works when it wants to. I rarely bothered with it because it rarely worked. I remember I had to restart the console during a main story mission just because it wasn't registering me mashing R1.
    Also your character is a klutz, I have never played a game where I accidentally robbed someone while trying to mount a horse.
    On the topic of crime, why do NPCs randomly shoot at me unprovoked, but when I shoot back it's a crime? Another thing happened where I literally walked by a corpse(no guns equipped and no mask on) and was reported for murder. Also, the game won't let you carry more than one bear pelt for realism, yet the moment you commit a crime the police arrive in seconds. That's **** ludicrous. It's a game, let me carry at least 3.

    All this sounds amusing, until you realize this happens CONSTANTLY. It's funny the first time it happens, but gets old fast. I broke 2 controllers playing this game and I have NEVER done that before.
    Rockstar damned near killed their staff making this game but for some reason I am not allowed to keep my pelts when I save the game? How on **** earth is losing 3 hours of progress because the game rolled the dice fun? That's simply bad design.

    Graphics are stunning. Mountains, lakes, pastures, towns, animals, people, the sky, everything you see is beautiful. There is a little pop-in here and there, a little frame rate drops here and there, but technically the game is among the best of the generation. Such a high graphical quality I'd expect only from Sony's 1st party games like God of War and Horizon: Zero Dawn.

    Gameplay-wise RDR2 is at its best when just roaming the map outside of missions and bumping into strangers, where anything can happen. From a brawl fist, to a robbery, to a nice chat, to a side quest, or even become wanted and have Bounty Hunters chasing you. You can also do some random stuff like playing poker or go fishing.

    RDR2 is a game about cowboys and outlaws in the Wild West, but the whole shooting system is just laughable. Rockstar has aim assist turned on by default because manual aiming is bad and they can't bother to fix it. Aim assist coupled with the Dead Eye mechanic (slow motion and lock on target) and brain-dead NPCs means you rarely need to aim your gun before shooting. Controls are needlessly complex even for the simplest actions. You almost think you must be playing an MMO on console. Missions are almost on-rails despite the wide open field of the map, with little room for improvisation. The constant need to ride a horse for several minutes when getting from point A to point B during missions doesn't help the game's pace. The same problem existed on the 1st game, but here it's worse.

    The story is meh. Arthur doesn't compare well with RDR's protagonist John Marston, and he is little more than a typical nameless avatar. The gang features several members, but none of these characters stands out.

    RDR2 Online is currently in Open Beta, but it's sadly Pay To Win. You buy guns and upgrades with gold, which can either be earned freely or bought with real-world money. You actually have to grind for 100s of hours in order to earn enough free gold to buy anything, so paying for gold with real money is strongly encouraged by Rockstar. Rockstar may improve RDR2's economy, lower weapons' gold prices, or increase the rate gold is awarded for free, but when you sell guns and upgrades in your game for real money, it's still Pay To Win no matter how you call it. For an online game, Pay To Win is the ultimate sin. I suggest players not taking RDR2 Online seriously and competitively, just play a little and enjoy it as much as you can without buying gold with your money. There are other online games that respect players instead of ripping them off.

    I have been disappointed by RDR2. Other than its graphics, nothing in this game can justify the hype. Just because it's been made by Rockstar doesn't mean it's always good.    … Expand

The music (if you can hear it over the roar of the PS4's fans) is awfully bland, much like the vast majority of the gameplay.

    I don't have the time to spend 5 minutes travelling to do a 3 minute quest then 5 minutes to travel back. That's not my idea of a fun gameplay loop. Especially when the combat sucks, heck, simple movement sucks, it's so slow. Getting stuck behind a NPC ambling along a narrow path not wide enough for 2 carts is an infuriating way to lose a timed mission. Even when there's no time limit, it's frustrating as if you run into people you get grief from the rep and justice system which is a massive fun barrier.

    You're encouraged to be a good guy because otherwise you get a bounty, but then the story has you committing crimes FFS. Not that it matters, the story isn't that interesting.

    The character builder for online is limited (perhaps they're going to sell more customization options later on) and the quests in that, thus far, aren't any more fun other than single player as the combat still sucks. I suppose there is the added bonus of laughing as now everyone in a group whistles for their horse and none arrive and we all sheepishly go running after the missing mounts...

    More patient players and people that don't mind the clunky menus, woeful hand-to-hand, lame auto aim shooting and riding around for hours on end will no doubt have a blast, for me, I doubt I'll ever finish it. Not with so many other games that are actually fun and not chores to play. I play games to escape life, not be trapped by the same limitations.

I have been playing since day one and I am a little over 50% completion. Every NPC I have came across whether it was during a main quest, side quest or chance encounter have been remarkable. Every side quest I've done have always had an entertaining story and not just some generic npc with a fetch quest. All the voice acting is top notch and facial animations are great on ever npc I have come across. At first I didn't really care for Arthur as the main character because I wanted more of John but he really grows on you and I have really enjoyed his story. All the side content to keep you busy while progressing the story is amazing. I love hunting, fishing, playing poker and other games. The chance encounters really keep the experience refreshing because you never know what's going to happen as your out riding around on your horse. The main story is impressive, I enjoy the progression of Arthors story as well as learning more about the characters stories in my gang. The graphics are stunning, with the exception of the HDR mode. I will constantly find myself going off the trails and checking out the environments. The western music is great without being annoying. The controls are a lot better once you adjust them to your liking in the settings but the defaults are terrible. RDR2 is one of those games you can't rush into, should take your time to enjoy it and let things develop without only playing the main story. I'm looking forward to the 2nd half of the game and playing the multiplayer if a couple days, hopefully it's a better experience then GTAV multiplayer.… Expand

The shooting is too easy, and horse riding ruined by a stamina bar that stops you having a good gallop (unless you want to hit x repeatedly, which on such a giant map is annoying). Accessing the weapons/items is a complete mess, as is looting which takes ages. Even in the menus the game requires you to hold a button 3 seconds rather than press it the slowness pervades everywhere, and its deeply irritating.

    Pros:
    - MASSIVE open world - bigger than GTA V.
    - Long and intense story campaign (70+ hours for me)
    - Reimagined fast travel mechanics makes you have to ride to your destination(encountering random events or NPC) and makes the game far more IMMERSIVE.
    - DYNAMIC characters and their actions keeps you at the edge of the seat on anticipation
    - fun side-activities like poker, five finger fillet, train/stagecoach robbery, NPC encounters with its own story.

    Cons:
    - Controls sometimes feel sloppy. Taking cover from a standing position is not smooth.
    - Can't skip a bath, grooming horse, and eating truckloads of food to stay healthy. This serves to make the game more annoying as skipping these chores influences your character stats and has to be done fairly regularly. In my experience, this served to kill momentum a lot of the time.
    - Lack of smooth fast travel mechanics in the endgame takes the immersion and adds in a headache since it can take you 7+ minutes to get to your destination.
    - Long story, if you work full-time, this will take you a while to complete since this is a 70-80 hour journey that requires a real commitment if you intend to complete it.

    This is a GOTY contender. It is a fantastic game where you can spend countless hours immersed in this world. It still has its shares of setbacks. The 97 is inaccurate as the critics failed to do a good job assessing a title for what it is, name recognition seems to play a big part in how they rate games.

    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. 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 охарактеризоватьRed 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. 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

    The game gets super boring real quick. They have a few good missions worth replaying. The AI doesn't know how to play poker at all so it's super easy to win everytime. Online play wasn't ready at launch either.

    Beautiful. Gorgeous. Very well scripted and voice acted. For that it gets more than a zero. For everything else, the hours of frustration and time wasting... this game is more boring than sleep.

    Don't believe the hype.

    It is very good game, good details, the best graphics, but they forgot the gameplay and what it means to be a good game open to possibilities of doing what you want, in fact, almost all the game have you tied to do what they want the developers ... like the case of having to keep things clean, or repaired, at first glance that seems a point in favor, but it becomes tedious after a whileIt is very good game, good details, the best graphics, but they forgot the gameplay and what it means to be a good game open to possibilities of doing what you want, in fact, almost all the game have you tied to do what they want the developers ... like the case of having to keep things clean, or repaired, at first glance that seems a point in favor, but it becomes tedious after a while ... I expected a game that did not leave everything for have great power.

    I believe that they still do not overcome the open world theme that "inaugurated" Zelda Botw, that despite the breaking of arms, you found a thousand and one in the whole map, the issue of doing what you want, it is wonderful and the fantastic of the game helps you in that subject so that you do what you want, all that, and weighing nothing more than 14 Gigas while the network dead 100 plus the download of all these gigas ..

    Do not get me wrong the dead network is a great game, in fact it should be the GOTY 2018, with a great job behind, but disappoints that it has not passed a game of 2017 ...    … Expand

    Grandiosa obra maestra cinematográfica. Si compitiese para los oscars se podría llevar alguno. Pero a Rockstar se le ha olvidado que esto son videojuegos y que lo priomordial es que sean divertidos. RDR2 no lo es. Ni de puta coña.

    RDR2 is extremely detailed, and will blow you away with it's boundary pushing animations, worldbuilding and excellent writing.

It is extremely ambitious and tries to set itself apart from other more formulaic open world titles, but unfortunately not all of it works out. RDR2 greatly emphasizes realism, which is impressive the first few hours, but the extremely slow and cumbersome actions lose their novelty after the first act, and end up creating endless tedium, as the simplest tasks imaginable slow the pace of the game down to a crawl. Speaking of pacing, this game has a serious pacing issue. The lack of effective fast travel means that you will spend about 70% of your playtime riding your horse from one place to another, and while the random encounters in the world are unique and interesting, there isn't nearly enough of them to fill out the absolutely massive - and ultimately empty - open world. One problem that resulted from this was that I stopped pursuing side quests entirely because of the absurd time investment required to ride across the map to your destination. in conclusion, RDR2 is an ambitious game that offers some unique and highly polished content, but truthfully - I struggled to finish the game because of the absolutely molasses-like pacing.… Expand

    Rockstar has brought us a game to live a real cowboy life. However, living a real cowboy life not only means you can rob bank and shoot people, but also means you need to do chores. The horse riding is indeed long but I'd glad I can always find some interesting people along the way. The controls, well, I personally adopt them very quickly and have no problem with that. Besides the awesome storytelling, I actually really enjoy the pace of this game-- not so fast, not so slow, just perfect for me. Except I cannot fight with wild animals on the horseback, everything is just fine.

    I do understand those people who give 5/10 or even lower. This game is not for everyone to love It's too slow and too detailed for many players. The more problematic thing is, these details not always improve player's experience. About these details, some people like them, some do not, it's absolutely normal. RDR2 is definitely not "GTA: into the west" and it never will be. RDR2 is more serious and less ironic, with more reality in nature.

    The reason why I give 9/10 is because the present version still has some bugs. I'm so surprised that Arthur can get stuck in so many places. I'm now more that 1/3 completion, maybe I can come back later to give a more overall review when I finish the whole game. Although that would be 1.5 years later perhaps.    … Expand

    I honestly have no idea how reviewers are giving this game 10/10. The difference between the user and critic reviews alone are enough to see that this so called "masterpiece" does not actually play as a masterpiece - and has quite a few flaws, be they the endless "just collect things" quests, button mashing mechanics (because pressing a button over and over is fun and engaging), averageI honestly have no idea how reviewers are giving this game 10/10.

This game is a testament to how reviewers and gamers see the experience differently, although the game has tons of mechanics that reviewers are conditioned to say are "great" - the final product, I'm sorry to say is a middle of the road 5/10 game, I'm not a hater - I wanted for this game to be good - at the end of the day - it just isn't.… Expand

    I Love this game, The world is rich and filled with content to explore. The story is pretty good considering i found myself eager to see what happened next. The music was good, and even atmospheric at times. The only thing I can complain about is a certain story decision Rockstar made in the late game but I won't go into that cause of spoilers.

All in all hands down my favorite title of the year. In my opinion I think it deserves the 97 for this gen console.

    I even thought it was good enough to play through a second time cause of the replay ability it has So many side quests, countless interactions, and a lot to work towards. I don't regret the 60 dollars I payed for it in the slightest, and I can't wait to see what multiplayer has to offer.

    Overall I think Rockstar outdid themselves on the story mode alone, I would recommend it to anyone and especially western lovers.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Rockstar does an excellent job at creating a character-driven narrative and refining the already-existing and new game mechanics. This game really sets the bar for open-world singleplay games with depth and immersion.
    My only critique is the repetition of shootouts, where the game resorts to sending waves of enemies to increase difficulty. There was also a massive dip in quality in Chapter 5: Guarma, and the whole chapter seemed redundant and subjected the player to waves of enemies with little story.    … Expand

    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]
