    I do enjoy this game like the first one Red Dead and I really thought it gonna change a lot despite the graphics. The story in Red Dead Redemption 2 simply one of the best stories even though the game quite slow and bit massive it still fun to play as the world so immersive. Simply Rockstar does what Rockstar has done over and over again a masterpiece.

    My experience on Xbox One was significantly hindered due to constant glitches and bugs in my first playthrough, but playing the game again on PS4 showed me just how fantastic the game really is. The world is vast and delightful to explore, and the story is slow but fantastic. This game isn't perfect, but its pretty damn close. 98/100

Simplesmente o melhor já feito, nunca teve outro jogo tão bem construído com a correlação história+visual, além da jogabilidade que é incrível, nunca pensei que fosse se apaixonar por um jogo, ou por um personagem, Arthur Morgan fez isso comigo.

    I was disappointed with this game. I waited years for it to be released and when I actually started playing it I found it so boring. I literally had to force myself to keep playing this game. My neighbor said he did the same thing. I don’t understand the great reviews.

    I haven't played rdr1 yet maybe it could effect my perspective to this game's scenario but i'd like to say i didn't like the scenario Arthur Morgan and his fellows' tragedic life story means nothing to me.But it is definitely gripping scenario i don't remember a extereme boring chapter (except hunting bear chapter)
    Thats all i just want to talk about scenario :)

    All the production values in the world and ridiculous attention to detail can't save a boring slog of a game with horrible pacing and tedious mission structure/open world where you spend 50% of your game time going from point A to point B with your horse ...

    This game ruined my X button :(

Eso puedo decir de estos dos juegos que son increíbles, pero que raramente enseñan algo útil a tu vida algo que mayormente haría una película.
    Me refiero a RDR II me enseño lo que hace la venganza, como puedes encontrar a una familia aunque esta no sea de sangre, sobre adaptarte al cambio aunque no quieras ni lo aceptes y lo que mas me hizo dar cuenta de los errores que cometía, nunca es tarde para cambiar. GOW plasma que todo se resuelve con violencia y que eso tiene un impacto sobre el mundo, con respecto a los primeros juegos antes del ultimo que salió, que no muestra tanto de esto y lo que esto puede llegar a provocar. Pero RDR II, plasma lo mismo, solo que es diferente, ya que eso solo trae mas y mas violencia y se puede apreciar mucho mas el efecto que trae y como son tales actos como cuando Jack mata a Ross, lo que John nunca quiso, que se convirtiera en lo que el había jurado dejar de ser, un forajido. Con Kratos pasa lo mismo, aunque el había sido ciego al no haber el mal que hacia hacia los demás por el hecho de que le debía su vida a Ades y que el era su seguidor, pero cuando supo que había matado a su esposa y a su hija por culpa de Ades, note que el era muy egoísta pensando en tan solo en quienes quería, necesariamente ser egoísta no implica no ayudar los demás, sino que no podía entender a los demás muy fácilmente y así se mantiene cierta parte de la saga, eso le da peso al personaje y eso me agrada. Esto sucede con Arthur, pero que evoluciona correctamente y no de manera apresurada, sino desde que el empieza a cuestionarse de la persona que es, no al inicio del juego, sino desde joven, mucho antes de lo que se ve en el juego mediante diálogos en misiones principales o secundarias, cosa que no hizo mucho Kratos con respecto a que tipo de persona es, pero que los jugadores deducimos que clase de persona es según el punto de vista de cualquiera. Arthur se cuestiona el tipo de persona que es cuando sus padres fallecen al tener que sobrevivir de una mala manera siendo un ladrón de poca monta ya que parece que nunca quiso ser eso y poco después al unirse a la banda de Dutch ve una familia que siempre quiso y que quería proteger a toda costa, y ver que el mundo nunca fue ni será justo, aunque no hayas hecho algo malo hacia los demás. el mundo te dará esa basura que nadie quiere pero que tendrás que recibir, cosa que sucede en Good of War pero que se resuelve con el pasar del tiempo, pero aquí es mas realista ya que no es tan fácil deshacerse lo malo que trae la vida como John al querer olvidar su pasado y empezar de nuevo cosa que quería para su familia y para el mismo para no causar mas daño a la sociedad cosa que también quiso hacer Arthur, pero que no logro ayudando a John a cumplir ese sueño que anhelaba pero que a cambio consiguió hacer algo bueno, no por el, sino por alguien mas que no era el, Arthur se cuestionaba si era bueno o malo lo que hacia y el tipo de persona que era, pero para mi se que el era bueno desde el inicio por que nunca planeo nada, el mundo es aquel caballo indomable de la pradera que te hará caer lo mas fuerte posible para que no te atrevas a subirlo, pero Arthur siguió intentando ser una buena persona a pesar de que no iba ser perdonado a quienes mas hizo daño en su vida ni por el mundo, era un forajido y el lo acepto, intentando mostrar que todos podemos cambiar aunque el tiempo sea corto y no hagas mucho para mostrar lo contrario, el hizo lo posible para llegar a ser una buena persona ayudando a quien podía por mas poco que fuera, el supo quien era realmente. RDR II es perfecto por que no salva a los personajes de cosas horribles por que ellos saben lo que el destino puede prepararles al final, Arthur murió a fin y a cabo redimiéndose.

    Red Dead Redemption 2 is a must own for every video game lover, with it being available on pretty much every platform there is no excuse to not owning it. Even though I do have some problems with the game that I will address in this review, I still think it's a great game and everyone should try it out.

    To start off, the game is absolutely beautiful, for the entirety of the time I played it which is about 50 hours of main missions plus the open world experience, I never got tired of the visuals. Sunsets and mountains in the distance have never looked so fantastic. The soundtrack is also amazing and very immersive, making all those long distance rides on your horse very enjoyable.

    Of course since it's a game by Rockstar Games and the sequel to RDR it has an open world. Because of better graphics I consider this to be their best open world yet. Which is an achievement considering how good GTA V's open world was. But even though the world is very beautiful and detailed RDR2 finds it self with the same problems as some of Rockstar's recent games which is they can't decide weather they want a complete open world experience or a cinematic experience. RDR2 feels stuck between a Bethesda game like Skyrim and Fallout, and a Naughty Dog like Uncharted and The Last of Us. In the open world you can do whatever you want and go wherever you want, however once you enter a story mission you have to go to a specific location doing a specific thing. There is no room for creativity from the player, he's just following orders. I feel like if they would dedicate fully to the open world it would be much better. But looking at the critic reviews of the game I'm in the vast minority there. Don't get me wrong the gameplay can be very fun at points, but I feel like it would be even better if I could control my character more and make my own decisions on how to approach a mission.

    The story is arguably the best part about RDR2, and I think it has a very good story. Just to get started this story is really long, it's about 50 hours, but for most people like myself it took much longer than that because of side missions. Because of the length though I do think that the story can be pretty long drawn, some missions are really boring and tedious but it is really saved by incredibly fun and epic missions. The story is separated into 6 chapters and then 2 epilogues afterwards. Each chapter spanning about 7-8 hours with chapter 5 being the shortest of the 6. The 2 part epilogue is roughly about 1 chapter in length. The length of the story has positives and negatives, with the positives being more character development and more immersion, but the negatives being that the pacing is pretty bad. But the story itself is very well told and Arthur Morgan has turned to one of my favorite video game protagonists of all time.

    To sum up this is a must play for any owner of a good PC, PS4 or Xbox One, and even though it's got its problems we have to appreciate that we don't often get this immersive and beautiful open world in a video game, and accompanied by a well told story. I think everyone should at least try Red Dead Redemption 2

    The game is very good, moreover, it is fairly realistic. Well, the game is really a little shallow in terms of travel, but if Rockstar had made the world smaller, the game would have looked terribly unnatural. Although I personally like the trips, they are very beautiful. The animations are not boring at all, and so is the shooting. The firefights were carried out at the highest level.

And technically, the game is just great! The story is received poorly, but I can't say anything, just a good story. In general, the game will not really appeal to fans of any shooters, you also need to take into account that the trips are really very long, I fall asleep during them. But from the point of view of the picture - no nagging. Expand

The cowboy simulator aspect is superficial and redundant since it is not required in order to survive or progress the story. On a more positive note the game is gorgeous - perhaps the best looking game of the generation - and the care and attention to detail must be praised. Characters, scenario, and overall immersion are above and beyond anything I have played in a long time ; but when it is all said and done, I have found that for all of its greatest aspects, it was never enough in redeeming the mediocrity, boredom, and tedium I had to endure in order to reach the end credits.

It's has a massive open world, a near-endless amount of tiny and insignificant little stories that adds to the world in ways that make even multiple playthroughs unlikely to see them all.

    It has everything one should hope for in an open-world game. From fishing by a snowy lake to hunting deer in the woods to even playing cards with townsfolk and your gang.

    The only downside to this is that the big bad only ever shows up a few times and is mostly talked about in dialogue. As such, I never really saw him as anything but some wealthy businessman of the time. Sure he was a bad man but he was so far removed from the other threats to the safety of the gang that for the most part he is irrelevant.

    Even so, this game is a must-have for any PlayStation user.

    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]
