    Horrible gameplay...perhaps the worst in any game to date. Everything from movement, to interacting to gunplay feels clumsy, slow and unsatisfying.
    And despite all the effort that went into world simulation, game, like every Rockstar game fails miserably at crime system.
    How the "journalists" managed to not criticize this, is absolutely unbelievable, considering this composes 95% of the game.

    Game itself is superb.... marred noticeably by poor HDR and 4k checkerboard implementation on my ps4 pro and 4K HDR display. Gotta say I didnt expect R* to fall short here especially given the sony marketing. Unbelievable they missed these two areas when developing the game

    The graphics are amazing, the story is engaging, sound, music and voice acting are on point. But the    So I'm finally back in the real world after a hectic weekend in the wild wild west, and while I was hoping to go back to work bustling with excitement, praising the game I have been looking forward to for so long, I realize that the best way to describe my state of mind ambivalent.

    The graphics are amazing, the story is engaging, sound, music and voice acting are on point.

    But the game has some serious flaws that I would like to highlight:
    Rockstar decided that they wanted to make this game very realistic and immersive, but somewhere along the line they forgot that it is still a game and should be entertaining as well.. You don’t have to sacrifice fun to make it more immersive, you can have both. “Well you make a better game then, cried the fanboy” I will give an example on how to improve the game, hope that is enough?
    In camp you do choirs to boost the morale for your partners in crime, chopping wood for example. I don’t mind doing it, if you actually make it rewarding instead of feeling like a proper choir, we all have enough of those irl.

    Chopping wood: You walk up press triangle and watch Arthur do a 10 sec animation of him swinging the axe, then you get to press R2 to see him do it again for 10 sec, R2 and repeat.
    Improvement: A minigame where you have to angle the axe correctly with the analog stick to actually hit the wood while timing the swing with R2.

    It’s the same scenario with other tasks that you are required to do; Brushing your horse, skinning a animal, cooking, weapon maintenance etc. Implement minigames that is rewarding and challenging and these realistic features becomes entertaining.

    My next rant, the interface – Long story short, its overly complicated.

    You press L1 to get a equipment-wheel where you browse different weapons, press R1 to change to a different wheel with consumables. Browse between the different items with R2 and lift L1 to equip/consume. It’s complicated, you missclick way too easily and its hard to get a overview on your inventory, esp in a fire fight.

    In order to open the world map you have to press Options, wait for 1½ sec for the menu to load and then press X. Why not do like every other game where you press touchscreen and from there you can browse your inventory, journal etc? Now these functions are spread out in different menus without any apperant logic behind.

    Shopping is also too complicated. I want to buy a hat and a jacket, here how it goes:
    Walk into store
    L2 to greet shopkeeper
    X to see catalog
    You get a realistic catalog with a “root-menu”
    Select Clothing
    Submenu: Select hats
    You get to browse differnet pages in the catalog with drawn pictures of hats and get to select the one you like, press X to view on character.
    All of a sudden you have a list of all the hats available and can skip through them all to try before you buy.
    From here you actually have to go back to the rootmenu in the realistic catalog and start over and do the whole process all over again. Why not give us an option to press Circle in the hat-menu, select jacket and browse them quick and easy?

    A lot of people complain about Arthur being slow and its true, he is. But I don’t think that is such a problem. It gives the game a different feeling that I can appreciate. If it was consistent.. It is not. You can run at a certain phase all over the world, but when you spend time in camp Rockstar decided to cap it by half. I get it, they want the player to really notice the details they invested in the environment here in camp. The problem is, it doesn’t work that way. Don’t force me to stop and appreciate as I will only get annoyed and see even less.

    I could continue ranting about the game mechanics, strange UI and wierd priorities; realism vs fun, that you can’t summon your horse, how bleak the gun fights are, awkward controls but I think I have made my point. Its a flawed game with a beautiful facade and a good story. Almost like they did a remake with improved graphics but forgot to hire people to upgrade the game mechanics to the smooth standard we are used to in games in 2018.

    I really hope that Rockstar can remove the horse blinders, listen to the legit critique some people try to raise and patch the game to the masterpiece it could have been.. But whom am I fooling?

    Reading the professional reviewers whom should be objective when judging a game but won’t even mention to bring up the strange controls and outdated game mechanics, something that would be a major drawback for a total score on any other game out there. R*logo equals quality, through and through. Otherwise you don’t get it, or the game isn’t for you. The end.

    But the game is for me - I love open world games in general, I loved RDR1 in particular and have been hyped for a sequel for as long as the rest of you.. It’s just that I cant praise a game this flawed. Please do better.    … Expand

    Why does this game want to take the fun out of being an outlaw?
    Your wanted level and bounty remain through death. So each time you get into a scrap or get caught doing something dirty your levels will build until you pay them off. Every time you commit any crime there is always a couple witnesses around that you need to chase down. This is fun a couple times until it gets annoying. I robbed a guy fishing out in the middle of nowhere and I get a "Witness" alert. Someone out of view but up on some cliff that I could never see or possibly chase down.
    At times this game feels like more chore than game. Here's an example of how I spent my last 90 minutes of play time: The only available story mission was deep south so it was a good 10 minutes horse ride to a new area. The missions was ok and straightforward, involving raiding some bounty hunters and saving a friend. Afterwards I opt to stay and look for look a little longer. Well after maybe 30 seconds a huge posse of lawmen show up "Investigating." So much for looting, because that could have been fun getting some actual reward for the mission. Now I'm running for my life. I lose the law but I'm even further south away from my base camp and Arthur is "exhausted." Don't know why because I sleep every night as soon as it gets dark and eat food often. I try to camp and can't because there is "Activity".. in the whole territory I guess because I'm running further away from this town to try and camp. I'm Wanted in this area so I try to sneak into a town to hire a Stagecoach to take me into a town closer to my gang's camp. The driver won't take me because I'm wanted. The ride on horse looks like 15 minutes at this point and I just want to get to a safe area so I can log out and quit playing for the night. I avoid more lawmen to get to the nearest train station and hire my first train ride to take me somewhere. I get to my destination and my horse is out of range. But, hey! I'm an outlaw... I can just steal a ride right? Arthur still hasn't slept so he can barely run so I try and hold up a carriage passing by. Every single driver either pulls a gun on me or takes off. Not only that but there is a witness to this crime, and lawmen instantly head towards my area and remember, I can barely run. I love how every back country road is packed with traffic so that you can't rob a single person with a chase ensuing... at night. It's like the game was forcing me into a corner, challenging me to not like it.
    At that point I spent 10 minutes actually having fun and 80 minutes just traveling or avoiding the law.
    Aside from that, every time I'm in camp everyone yells at me for not chipping in to the pot when I donated an entire deer and a couple gold watches just 2 days earlier. I feel all of these people would starve and die without me doing all of the work for them. LOL And then I get 10% of loot taken on missions. Ok.
    Other major quips: The icons on the radar and map are so tiny I have to hover over each one to tell what it is. You can tell devs play-tested this on monitors a couple inches from their faces instead of on a flat screen 10 feet away.
    The main camp is horribly designed where, at first, nearly every tent looks the same and you wander about hovering over things to figure out where you are. And you better be an inch away from whatever object you are interacting with and no further. And there's no running in base camp because outlaws don't run. I thought the gang would have maybe 5-6 bad hombres in it but there's entire families with women and children. Plus a science nerd and some English geek, of course.
    I've lost loot like pelts, including my first legendary bear pelt because I left it on the back of my horse.
    My horse teleports to weird places around the map and when I whistle, he returns very slowly and always stops behind a bush.
    I get off of a horse and my weapon load out changes and sometimes I start missions with only my pistol and lasso.
    Button layouts are random and confusing so there's no wonder that there are hints in the screen corner because I would honestly forget. At one point you need to hold down 3 buttons and a joystick to select items from your inventory. And 10 years later I wish Rockstar would fix the pressing L3 stick causes you to crouch. Annoying.
    Finally Arthur is no where near a likeable character like John was. John has the cool gravely voice but Arthur honestly sounds like a dumb hillbilly at times. Many of the main characters have very annoying voices now that I think about it. Not a threatening group at all.
    Man it sucks to say all of this, because the original RDR is my favorite game of all time, but it seems my rating is clinging to the Yellow category just due to the graphics and my love of this franchise. I wouldn't fault anyone for rating it less.    … Expand

    The only thing I had trouble with in the beginning was the control layout. It's a bit different than other open world/other rockstar games to an extent, but it just takes some time to get used to. I had no complaints about the controls after a few hours of playing.

    The story is also top-notch and has a lot of emotional moments as well. I played the first red dead redemption years ago and don't quite remember everything that happened in the story but it definitely is a great prequel to that game.

    Yes, it could be uncomfortable to control and take long time to get used to it. However, you also can experience a lot of things which other games can't provide. Absolutely for me, it is one of the best games. Just play at least 10 hours, then you get real experience in this game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I played RDR1, so SPOILERS AHEAD.

    That being said, this is not GTAV Horse Edition, much like RDR1 wasn't GTAIV Horse Edition. Player agency is what you make of it. I had one of the most powerful moments in gaming I've ever had...and I've been gaming since Pong (yeah, I'm old.)

    SPOILER FOR RDR1

    When John Marsten (one of the best characters in a game ever) died, I hunted down that **** marshall. His wife said he was fishing. I went down there as Marsten's son with a double barrelled shotgun and made the old man say his final words. He was sorry. He was just doing his job. Although I couldn't say anything because of the game mechanic, it made sense. That's exactly what I would have said. Nothing.

    Then I shot him with both barrels and watched him float away on the river.

    When you seek vengeance, dig two graves. One for your enemy, the other for your soul. That victory tasted like ashes in my mouth. I put down my controller and thought about that experience for a bit.

    That is a game. That is art. Art is something that makes you think about it for a bit, interpret it, and make it your own in one way or another. Not some grind fest, not seeing how many **** you can craft. All these other things have their place, but true art in crafting games comes from those vignettes that allow you to feel something.

    This game is the same, but better. It's a slow burn. For those of you that complain about frame rates (I don't have any of those issues, and I'm on a 1st gen PS4...refurbished) or fuzzy textures, stop being so pedantic. Focus on the experience. This isn't Nier Automata or MGS2k. This is a story game, a choose your own morality game.

    Did you feel bad when you went back to the widow to collect? I sure as **** did.    … Expand

    CONS: In-game days are too short (max 15 mins), default settings for gun play was not ideal (after playing with the settings I made it better), every time you get on your horse you put away your rifles and have to equip them again.
    In conclusion the experience of playing this game far outweigh the cons, and this will most likely win Game of the Year.
    Side-note: if you expect this game to play like GTA you will not like this game, if you don't like a story that slow burns/builds up you will not like this game, if you have a short attention span you will not like this game, if you don't like RPG elements i.e. having to eat you will not like this game.
    Also, the amount of people complaining about having to ride a horse everywhere blows my mind, are people really this dumb? It's a cowboy game, the only means of transportation is a horse or train, they didn't have supercharged cars or planes. If you don't enjoy riding a horse around the map, this game obviously wasn't made for your style of gaming (duh?).    … Expand

Starting with the story. The story missions, in my opinion, are the best I have ever played within an open world game, all of them are very unique and there isn't much repetition at all. Due to you being in a large gang, Rockstar has given every gang member a story of their own which almost feels like I'm not even playing one single story campaign, but several, where I can listen to each individual gang members story to see what all of them have experienced. The story missions vary from action-packed robberies to tense stealth missions and much more. The open world aspect is an absolute masterpiece, the world in which you play in is neither too large nor too small, just perfect size and all of the activities you can get up to in free roam are things which no other open world game has included, like holding up a train by placing a stagecoach in front of it and then standing on top of it to wait for it to stop, a similar thing was included in a scene from the movie 'The Assassination of Jesse James'. Things like this just immerse you even more due to it being a wild west game. For once, even GTA V couldn't allow me to experience just admiring the view of the world which you are free to explore. Almost all open world game developers go on about how they can just 'admire the gorgeous view of the world' if you become bored, but in my opinion, that has never happened. Ironically, the only game that has come close to that is the first Red Dead Redemption. Obviously, I am not able to waffle on about all of the things you can do in this game but one last thing I wanted to discuss is the controversial topics which are openly (and without hesitance) included in the game. Topics like racism and sexism which were very prevalent in 1899 (the time which this game is set in) I am not going to spoil any of the story but there are some things which blown me away with amazement and shock. Instead, I will give you a few examples of which I found in free roam, I was browsing around a big city which you end up in around about halfway through the story and found a woman who was advocating for women's rights to vote (which was a big thing in this time era), another example I found which may be a little more offensive to some people, I was walking through the town of Rhodes (which is known for a higher populace of African Americans) in free roam when I saw these white men harassing this black guy (if I remember correctly they were robbing him at the back of the saloon.) and I actually heard one of the white men say "if you don't give up your things now darkie you're gonna receive a bullet in your skull." As i heard this i was blown away with immediate shock! I've only heard things like that (and very rarely) in movies! Cleary this is not something which I would personally hold up to a game developers neck and demand them to include something like this in their game, but it is just inexplicable how Rockstar have done something like this.

    I also hear people waffle on about the shooting and combat system, even though the combat can become a little frustrating at times due to the cover system being changed, I can tell you that the shooting is once again the best within any game. No longer am I just gliding through mission after mission, blasting everything i see with one bullet and killing everyone in 20 seconds. I now have to control the recoil of my weapon and where I am shooting, I now have to utilize my weapons correctly for the right situations as compared to something like GTA V where I could use the weakest pistol in the game and still glide right through everyone. This is the sort of realism which for some reason puts a lot of people off, but I am in love with it, when I kill someone in RDR 2 it actually feels like I have blasted a bullet right through someone's face (which I have), where many games cannot seem to do this. In RDR 2 a pistol FEELS like a pistol, a gun which doesn't do that much damage, and a shotgun FEELS like a shotgun where I can blow through someone's intestines.    … Expand

    This game is unlike anything I've ever played. The world is compelling visually and mind-boggling in its details.

But it's not just a gallery to walk through and observe -- you can interact with it in many dynamic and interesting ways, experimenting and trying different approaches to different situations. Some open worlds are filled with content represented by points on a map to explore. I think that's a bad design decision which removes the joy of discovery. Here, visual and audio clues drive exploration, and it's a joy to traverse through the same areas again and again because each time the developers have striven to make it a fresh experience.

    For example, I've traveled to a town called Valentine countless times. Sometimes there's someone being mugged there at night, or gang members will show up, or a preacher will be preaching, or a beggar begging. You can interact with each of these and it never seems to stop. Whether these are dynamic or scripted (and probably a combination of both), doesn't matter to me. Nothing in this world seems to be repeated.

    Many games have countless side quests, and your time with the characters in each one is brief and not that interesting. Here, there are extended side quests where you interact with a single character in a story arc. It's much more compelling.

    In essence, if you like to explore a world AND interact with it, you should get this game.

    The amount of excellent dialogue in this game is crazy, especially with your fellow gang members. I'm constantly surprised when I go back to the camp; the gang seems to be talking about something else, whether I'm listening in or not.

    The world has this feeling of going on without you.

    The game does have a slower pace; there are animations for just about everything. But I actually enjoy the slower pace, and I feel like the game is more tactile and interactive because of it.

    My biggest gripe is that some systems are not explained very well. Just one for example, why do I need to donate supplies to the camp apart from upgrades? Is there some benefit to that? The game needs to teach duels prior to a duel and not during a duel (where you have a super small time window to read the hints on the screen). Why do you have to walk so slowly at camp?

    Sometimes I also feel like there's too much going on. Eating constantly to gain weight is a drag, constantly brushing your horse, maintaining your guns. My OCD nature tells me I'm always forgetting to do something, and there aren't ui warnings for all of these. I feel like especially maintaining weight is superfluous.

    But overall, these do not detract from what's here. It's a very long game, but because it's so engaging, I imagine I'll be playing it for a very long time to get all the extra collectibles and whatnot.    … Expand

    Red Dead Redemption 2 isn't a game that should be taken lightly. This is true in most of Rockstar's long list of games, which often overwhelm the player with their sheer size and mechanical depth. Red Dead Redemption 2, however, stands out as a pinnacle among masterpieces.

    RDR2 leaves gamer bored after few hours. Story and its characters lack the interesting profile the prequal had. Game is pretty and map is big but the almost empty wasteland is just way too uninteresting to be explored. There are few laughs here and there but most of these are just meme worthy jokes.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After reading and listening for all the praises and comments about game details and balls shrinking from "professional" reviewers I got hyped and bought the game expecting it to GOTY material. I say that in a year where we had Dragon quest 11 and God of War released.
    After 20 hours in I feel I have to write because I have not been that disappointed in a game since Assassin's Creed Unity.

    How is it possible to make such a bad game based on fetch quest years after Witcher 3 ? Did the other developers learned nothing.

    The game is slow, boring and punitive for all the bad reasons. It's slow because controls are awful, the world is huge and empty and you spend your time going from A to B and dying for stupid reasons. It's boring because all the quests are the same, you have narrative where Rockstar believe they can master dialogues as well as Tarantino (they manage ok) then you have a very bad gunfight where you cover/auto aim/shoot, have a quick narrative and rince and repeat. The rest of your time you actually work. You cook, you collect grass, you hunt animals for hours, you clean stuff, you clean yourself, you clean your horse, you clean your guns etc. It's a miracle we don't have to brush teeth and wipe ass.

    This, and all the restrictions. You shall not have fun in this world. After a few hours, after I gave all my money to my camp (which I am the only one doing, others in the band seem to chew bubble gum all day long), I decided to be bad for once, for fun and giggles.

    I got a 300 bucks bounty on my head I could not pay off. I was hounded by wizards and Jedi masters who always know exactly where I am at 4am in the morning when I have been in the forest alone for 2 days. They killed the horse I had bought (FUN) I kept losing all my hunting catches (FUN!!) I even lost legendary pelts (R u not entertained??).
    I found a secret place in town where there is illegal activity. I thought it would be easy money. You go there, have a gunfight, get spotted by law, shoot them, and get punished by a bounty higher than the money in the stash. It's great, it's realistic. Of course not realistic to the point you can jump by the window or open the other door there, no, there s only one way in and out because it's FUN.
    I tried everything, even going ninja like in there and kill everyone with throwing knives before a single shot (took me ages to pull this out) . The sheriff, a jedi medium seer from the future with the hearing of daredevil still knows the law has been silently broken and intervene. It's all great, it's so FUN.

    WHY?

    Why do I get punished ?

    I already work all day long. I don't play to work more and get punished. I just want to have fun, like people in Westworld, not feel what it was to do chores all day long on the Far West and be punished every time I don't play the way the devs want me to play.

    They have made a gorgeous, beautiful world full of details and forgot how to make a fun game along the way. They have reached Ubisoft level. I can't believe this t... was made by the people who made Vice City, one of the best game I ever played.

    I have to go. My hero is underweight because I didn't feed him enough. Time to have some FUN and feed the idiot !    … Expand

    Red Dead Redemption is tied for my favorite game of all time, and very well could be. I played it a few months ago during my hype and anticipation for this game, and it has still held up incredibly well and was an absolute blast, I have probably beaten it 4-5 times total and have enjoyed it every time. Needless to say, I was hyped for RD2, and picked it up on opening night, planning to lose many hours to this game.

    Well, that didn't happen. This is the most disappointing game that I have ever played.

    Let me start off by saying that the production values, plot, voice acting, and environments are phenomenal. The world is truly beautiful, and attention to detail exceptional. The plot and characters are mostly excellent as well.

    But my lord, the gameplay is bad. The control scheme is horrific and extremely outdated, where you still have to smash X to run instead of clicking L3. There is an input lag of one to a few seconds, so you rarely shoot or reload in the way you want to. Taking cover often doesn't work or happen, resulting in you potentially climbing over objects instead. Picking up guns, clothing, or items have three different buttons, resulting in frequent confusion. Knowing which weapons you have on you, switching weapons, and trying to use supplies buried in menus is often confusing.Arthur runs slowly, and your horse is also slow.

    Moving around your camp is super slow, and the camp system is not good or cool at all, the bond between you and your gang is not well established. The systems shown in tutorials are not often how the game actually works (for example, you hunt and bring a live deer to a guy at your camp in a tutorial, but this is not how you give the guy hunted animals going forward). I would spend upwards of 20 minutes walking because you can't call your horse if it is too far away.

    Interacting with the world around you is also super slow, it can take up to 10 seconds to examine items around you, and you will often be tasked with searching for every item in an entire building.

    And, accidentally committing crimes is WAY too easy. A drunk guy stumbles in front of your horse and you run him over: the whole town starts shooting at you, wanted level is $20, have to surrender outside of town. Abysmal. Certain items can only be sold at certain shops, resulting in you spending too much time running to each different shop.

    This game is just a shame. In the original Red Dead Redemption, the combat was quick and responsive, the world around you had attention to detail, intense gunfights, the ability to travel quickly, and selling all of your items at most shops. RD2 adds much more nuances and systems to create a more realistic experience, but this harms the experience mightily, resulting in slower gameplay all around: movement, combat, interaction, exploration. It is a video game, I understand creating a time period environment, but is realism the only thing that matters?!

    Sorry for my long review, I was just more excited for this game than any other in a very long time, probably none since Zelda BotW, and as I mentioned, the original is my favorite game of all time. But this game is flat out boring and slow, and I do not understand the critic review, perhaps the hype has them inclined to leave a positive review?? Either way, I had said God of War PS4 is my most overrated game of this generation: no more. Red Dead 2 takes the cake.    … Expand

And I love how I can be on the way to something, and there's always little happy surprises that derail me.

    This game is amazing, and I'll stop there, because I could write a novel. If you want constant action, or a looter shooter, or a more basic common open world experience game like Far Cry, then this might not be for you. Although, a good thing to note is that the food system does not get in the way. Eating is never a problem or a hindrance, same with sleeping. It just adds to the immersion instead of being hardcore like in The Long Dark or Skyrim Frostfall/needs mods. If anything, I wish it was more intense personally haha.

    Anyway, so if you love immersion and realism and details and beautiful games and great stories, don't pass this up. You will easily be entertained for hundreds of hours. Only thing that is a little finicky to me is the honor system, as sometimes someone would run into me on accident and die, and then it'd be my fault when I didn't do anything. So there's that.    … Expand

Good writing and Rockstar presentation again (with every improvement from GTA V, so it's a technical marvel,) but the setting limits the game to absurd GTA gunfights killing dozens, vs. self-serious cutscenes rendered dumb and unserious by level of violence. Humor is almost essential, with the amount of bloodletting...if you're going to ask me to beat a man to death and murder a witness as a tutorial mission on the game's systems, don't ask me then to empathize, like these are real people to take seriously. I don't think "Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer" let alone "Dexter" was that obtuse, but here we are in alleged 10/10 masterpiece land.

    So I bought a PS4 Pro for this, and slow realization critical consensus is again lemming nonsense, and this game has the exact same problems, is painful. in 2005, what if you asked an average San Andreas player what would suck about GTA if it was limited to bicycles? They would give you a list: the world would feel too big after a while, not in a good way, bike riding would get tedious, the game would rely on shooting mechanics and good cutscenes, which aren't really strong enough to hold up the entire experience, and they might even beg the question, why focus on open world traveling, then, if it's so boring? Oh, and an open world without civilized flourishes would also be strictly a downgrade, even if the resolution went up, because it'd just be samey forests and less interesting small towns, ala San Andreas, nothing impressive there outside Mt. Chilead (which nobody would WANT to ride a bycycle to, btw). As far as I can tell: every last critique applies to both RDR games. Rockstar still can't transcend it. Their games rely on you being gobsmacked by how great and real the world feels, and this ages poorly over years (GTA 3 and San Andreas are now unplayable, I think,) and in real time (you get bored by its impressive-but-samey landscape after a few hours.)

    13 years later, despite massive efforts, graphical improvements over GTA V, and a solid effort to make the open world more lootable, interactive (like Bethesda, Ubisoft,) Rockstar hasn't really averted the pitfalls anybody could have told you in 2005. And they haven't realized the self-serious cutscenes can't hold up the gameplay, because GTA satire is actually essential..these people need to be cartoons, or "the story is ludicrous," to quote Maude Lebowski. In worlds where ultraviolence is a given, self-serious is always unserious.    … Expand

I have a routine. I don't need another.

    Fast travel? What a useless feature in this game. I thought long and hard about doing the unlimited gold bars glitch because I don't want to ruin the in-game experience. That said, I decided to go ahead and use the glitch as it meant that I can afford trains now. I can finally buy tickets anywhere and not ride a horse for 10-15 minutes WITHOUT holding my controller. I can't understand why they wouldn't add a "skip to location" function with a small load. It's brutal. It's legitimately terrible that everytime I need to go anywhere, I end up going into the cinematic mode and walking away from the game for 10 minutes or until I hear gun shots. That's unacceptable to the experience.

    Everything about maintaining a horse and my health should be optional. Again, I pick up a game and I expect a game, not the Sims.

The game is beautiful, but once you've ridden around for a while, it leaves you wanting for something to do besides more chores, setting up camp, hunting one animal at a time, or getting a wanted status for walking by the wrong person in town. I miss RDR 1, and the sad part is there would have to be a ton of patches and updates to fix this, so I suppose we can just wait another 8 years to see if Rockstar gets the next one right (if there is a next one).… Expand

    I've always liked and played GTA games, since they were in 2D. But RDR2 is on a completely different level, even compared to GTA V IMO.

    I won't spoil anything but I'll just ask you not to skip the end credits (yeah, some people do that ^^). It's worth your time. Also, there's someone in there who played guitar, keyboard, bass... "and all kinds of weird instruments". ^^

Visually judged alone it would be a great game sadly, it is just a OK game, it suffers from bad controls, nagging issues - the controls are very unintuitive. To me things just seem randomly assigned as they went. This isI WANTED TO LOVE THIS GAME. I can't and that sucks. This is a beautiful game. Maybe the best graphics ever to date in video games. The animations are incredibly detailed. Visually judged alone it would be a great game sadly, it is just a OK game, it suffers from bad controls, nagging issues - the controls are very unintuitive. To me things just seem randomly assigned as they went. This is hardly the biggest issue, but a couple of examples are: on a PS4 controller - buying saddles is X with no confirmation or delay. Drilling down into the saddle menu is also X. Click X too many times and bam saddle bought, money gone - you will buy one by accident - the only question is how long ago did you save and can you afford the mistake. Yet buying stuff from the store is Square and it must be held for a second or two, a timer thingy happens before it is done, giving you a chance to release and cancel. Often pre-viewing an item at the store is X, like spurs - so think you’re going to preview a saddle? nope. There is no buy back or undo option anywhere - selling or buying. Example #2 - Triangle is used to a) mount your horse b) loot dead bodies and c) sit by a fire. 90% of the bodies in the world you loot are going to be shot by a fire. Once looted you no longer can hit triangle to loot again... so you'd think priority of this conflict would go to looting, take it out of the equation - then all that’s left for triangle is are you at a horse or a fire. This is not what they did instead you unintentionally will sit by a fire over and over instead of looting the body next to the fire - this includes the long assed sitting down animation and then the long assed standing up animation before you accidentally, yet inevitably, sit again.
    The game is so detailed... and soo “#realism brah”. To its detriment... you can't just have a health, stamina and dead eye meter, no you have to have "cores" that drain and fill differently and make little sense - and there are 400 foods, cigarettes, and booze that all do slightly the same thing yet different. You can't sleep to a specified time, no early rising for you – Morning, noon, evening or night but not 4 or 6 am. Crafting is horribly slow and boring yet pretty core to the game mechanics and so needed – cool bullets/arrows no one will ever use because its one at a freaking time! There are just SO many small frustrating bits that take away from the overall enjoyment. Saving - the autosave will scumbag you sooner or later if you rely on it. If you are mid mission and want to save to maybe go back and try something different or try another approach – nope not allowed because reasons. I turned off autosave and fully rely on being uber diligent with manual saves and every time I see a thing to go check out, go near people/towns, hear “Hey mister” or “HELP” - I save - because my fault or not (more often not), something will go wrong. Be it bugs, glitches or just B.S. If I hit R1 to take cover behind a rock in combat; for god knows what reason I often end up standing on top of the rock eating bullets. Bump - not ram or run down - but nudge a person while on your horse in town and 40 cops and a massive bounty for that evil deed. To add to that fun - NPC’s will constantly be in your way. Crowded market or street, they will be mad at you for following them (regardless of your “good” reputation) as they slowly walk down the only narrow path. They will walk out into the street in front of your horse constantly. There is a Cinematic mode that in theory could be considered an auto-travel so you don't have to do it yourself (tapping X over and over and over) - if you go to the bathroom and come back you will be dead, wanted or your horse will have died. There is no fast travel. From camp after a while but nothing BACK to camp. Stages and trains cost money and you still must get to one to travel to another. On foot Arthur moves just a tad slower than he should until he runs and then you run just a bit faster than the controls really work with. Hunting can be fun and yet it can be the most frustrating thing I've ever voluntarily done to myself. My list goes on and on. For every amazing moment there are 30 little crappy ones sucking the fun out of this game. Just so disappointed. If there was QA that play tested their feedback was ignored, they were awful at their jobs or they hired children who "want to work in video games" for pennies a day instead of QA professionals - standard for the gaming industry and it shows. I am terribly disappointed and all these "Professional" reviewers that gave it “Game of the century” and “10/10” should be ashamed - I will forever come look at a review sites score here before I take anything they say seriously again. I will know if they are just hype reviewers or actually gamers. The hype for this disappointing game was the only 10/10 it deserved. I’m ~30 hours in and just SO DISAPPOINTED.    … Expand

    This game is overwhelming, frustrating, breath taking and an elegant space ship from another planet. In fact it's not something that's going to grip you from the start, it's not fast paced, it's more deliberate, it's more intentional and    I'll go on record and say that this game is not for everyone.

    In fact it's not something that's going to grip you from the start, it's not fast paced, it's more deliberate, it's more intentional and it's something I've come to respect. When first started playing the game, I wasn't blown away by the story, it was okay, and a bit slow, but then something happened. I played more and more and more and more, and the biggest if not the best thing about this game among other things, is the worlds ability to make you feel really apart of it.

    You are not a player that's in control of this world, you are a player apart of it, and in some cases you even submit to it. I love playing this game, i love the interaction and it's the best game I've played since The Last of Us came out 6 years ago.

    Like I wrote in the beginning, this game isn't for everyone, but if you enjoy, a good and solid western, you will most likely really enjoy this game. And even if you don't it is still something you should at least experience once, because this my friends, has never been done like this before.

I personally have never found a game with "perfect" controls, but these are basically fine for me, and I'm already running through the world quickly and efficiently. If you're looking for a fast-paced shooter, get the new Call of Duty.

    Absolute fact that this game is masterpiece, but what we see here in users reviews? We see a lot of negative - what actually strange. Seems to me all negative reviews here from PC players, because game are only for xbox&ps4.
    Just relax and don't listen to them! The game is amazing - that's all you need to know.

Within the first 5 hours of this game you’re going to notice the sheer beauty of this game. Everyone can see that. If you’re someone that really appreciates how amazing this world looks you’ll see the attention to detail that has gone into this title. The world is alive. This game is meant to be played slow, you’re supposed to immerse yourself, pay attention, and overall just don’t get in a rush to finish it. Yes, some controls are clunky,... yes, there are some parts that get repetive. But this is the problem with my generation (millennials). Some scratches and blemishes on a masterpiece and it’s a terrible game. This game made $725 million in 3 days, made numerous records. You know when you were talking about a super fast car in school and there’s always that one kid that says no it’s not!! Well you’ll see a bunch of those kids on these reviews. If you’re looking for a Michael Bay experience, look elsewhere. Get this game, slow down, pay attention, immerse yourself and just enjoy this incredible game without nitpicking. It’s amazing and probably one of the best games if not the best game I’ve played.… Expand

    Не берите это говно ни за что, пожалеете. Тут нет геймплея. Сюжет хуйня. Единственное за что можно похвалить - реализм. Но и тут проблемы - это пиздец скучно, тебе постоянно будет что либо мешать, в итоге игра станет обыкновенной рутиной.Не берите это говно ни за что, пожалеете. Тут нет геймплея. Сюжет хуйня.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is certainly not the exception. An honest review cannot attempt to balance out bogus reviews by countering the score in favor of Rock Star Games. The unwarranted reviews must be reviewed and removed by a moderator. The gameplay and audio are compelling and immersive to a degree, but it becomes a wash and repeat cycle fairly quickly. The controls, however, are not intuitive and remain confusing throughout the game. The graphics are realistic and compliment the atmosphere. The gameplay is clunky to a degree while offering plenty of options that further deteriorate the gameplay into a grind fest. Frankly, the game is boring. Better luck next time Rockstar! You must earn your score of ten after many years of overhyped production.… Expand

    For a game based around a gunslinger, it seems odd that the gun play mechanics are just awful. it is most likely that the developers have never shot a gun in their life, because what has been created here, is a joke. Combined with the equally awful control system structure, it hurts this game big time. It's time for consoles to look at developing a better method to control characters,For a game based around a gunslinger, it seems odd that the gun play mechanics are just awful. it is most likely that the developers have never shot a gun in their life, because what has been created here, is a joke. Combined with the equally awful control system structure, it hurts this game big time. It's time for consoles to look at developing a better method to control characters, because the game pad just doesn't work with these type of games. This should have been ported to the PC, and would would have been a far superior game. When the core components of the game are borderline un-playable, it detracts from the overall experience.… Expand

    Red Dead Redemption 2 was supposed to be the revelation of the year, as a game. But there are many details that dissapointed me in the game. The story about Arthur Morgan and the gang is pretty "slow" at the beginning because of the tutorial.

But there are many details that dissapointed me in the game. The story about Arthur Morgan and the gang is pretty "slow" at the beginning because of the tutorial. In general, the plot is so good, but as you play the main story, it will become boring because there are some unnecessary missions, which just delay you (that explains why the campaign is so big). Talking about the aim: I have never seen such a terrible aim. Is so difficult to kill your enemies with the "normal" aim, unless you enabled the aim assist that is so much better. Other detail is the GAMEPLAY: When you are riding a horse you just CAN'T PLAY! Is one of the most terrible gameplay, is so hard to move your horse with precision that sometimes my horse stambles on invisible things. And other thing that is SO annoying is the fact that, in the camp, you just can move slowly. I know some people will say that in real life you would not run on this situation, but the point is the game is not supposed to be like real life. But seriously, the worst thing in the WHOLE game is to take 5 minutes riding a horse to reach a mission on the map that you probably will take 2 or 3 minutes to complete.

    GENERAL SCORE: 8
    This game is not bad but not good, it shows its positives and negatives elements but in general the game is pretty good, otherwise, it's pretty frustrating in some parts.    … Expand

    Hands down my favorite game of all time!!! There is an endless amount of things you can do in this open world game. This game has it all from immersive gameplay, stunning graphics with beautiful highly detailed scenery, , and even a game map with accurate contour lines for elevation! RDR2 is an absolute masterpiece!!!

    One if not the best game of all times with no doubt about it. Better than Red Dead Redemption which is also one of the best games of all times.

    One of the worst games I've ever played in my entire life. Rockstar is dead, and the proof is on this game. Rockstar today is not the same developer who made games like GTA SA, IV, RDR 1.

    Red Dead Redemption 2 is a mediocre game with nothing new in this generation and I think it's a big setback in the game industry. The game starts slow, with a lot of boring things to do, which gave me sleep. It was not long before I realized that this game disappointed me, at that point the game could not get better, and it did not get any better later. Make no mistake, the game is very slow, empty, without many interesting things to do. Riding a horse is a horrible experience in this game, the game is not fluid, it looks like a movie. In fact this game may be the best to be watched, not to be played. Seeing this game on youtube looks good, but playing it was one of the worst experiences with games I've ever had. The proposal of the game is not good. Games should be made for fun, not to be boring with unnecessary things. Eight years to be developed? Do not make me laugh. This is pure marketing, a game that has been delayed several times for nothing. Waste of money. Unfortunately a game that had everything to be one of the best, ruined by a bad company.    … 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]

    The first new game from Rockstar for this generation of consoles doesn't disappoint, it is as impressive as you hoped it to be.
