    While some may say the realism is annoying, I find that it grounds the experience and helps immerse yourself in the wild west. You may only be able to carry a few guns on your person at a time, but you can easily switch them out on your horse which can store all of your guns.

You may only be able to carry a few guns on your person at a time, but you can easily switch them out on your horse which can store all of your guns. Whatever you think of when you think about the wild west in film or television, you can do it in this game, from robbing trains in missions, or free roam on your own time, to hunting, capturing bounties, getting **** at the saloon and brawling, gambling, robbing literally any npc or store, lassoing someone and dragging them from your horse, you can do it. The world is massive and cohesive and truly feels like it is transcending the concept of a videogame and is closer to actual living and breathing art. The wildlife is insane and really behaves like their real life counterparts, deer will butt antlers while playing, coyotes will sniff out dead bodies, ravens or other scavengers will be attracted to the dead etc. If you love exploration, freedom, and an experience grounded in realism in the old American west this game has it. Rockstar and the wild west seem to be made for each other, ever since their success with GTA it has seemed like the wild west was perfect for their mature and violent, lawless videogames. on a last note, the music is epic! It's even more diverse than the first game. If you can respect the slower pace of the game. you will find enjoyment that surpasses most other gaming experiences.… Expand

    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.

And of course, the controls did feel cluncky the first few hours, but after getting used to them, they feel great! And I don't know what kind of games the majority here plays, but I can't see why people dislike the gameplay. The combat feel exciting since you have to balance staying in cover with finding stuff and keeping friends alive, other objectives are varied and exciting without being too fast-paced. I love that the game encourages you to hang around at camp, hunting and exploring, but it doen't force you to do anything. You can just do whatever you want to at any time, which for me is the most important factor in making a game fun. Does a 10/10 game have to be perfect? Of course not, but the flaws cannot detract from how fun and impressive the game is. For me, the only "flaws" I can think of can either be changed in settings, or doesn't detract from the experience at all.… Expand

    2. Arthur IS fast! You need to NOT SPAM FOOD. They make a point of explaining this pretty early in the game, so anyone saying he's slow, probably didn't play past 5 hours.

    3. FPS does NOT drop below 30. That's insane, and a blatant lie.

    4. Empty World? There's animal attacks, weather, random events, and NPC's out the ying yang. I have not felt alone in this entire game.

    5. Someone said you can't enter all the houses? Another Liar. Every building can be entered, and even robbed.

    6. Realistic features that are complained about, AREN'T required. You can always just buy food, fast travel, and use Legendary Animal trinkets. If you enjoy earning it, you'll have LOTS to do. "oh ma gerd, I can't wear a t shirt in snow"    … Expand

I played Red Dead Redemption back when that came out and I played it quite a lot and it's the same with this game. I bought this game on the Friday it came out and completed the story on Thursday with the only thing really getting in the way was school. When it comes to this game not being on PC I think when it does get on PC it will be a little bit better than what PS4 and Xbox One players have to go through like a bit more better graphics. This game was actually realistic and I felt that it really caught women's struggles to vote at the time which is a history setting of the game. However the problems I have with this game are the bugs that I am sure can be fixed but a problem I kinda do have that isn't much of a problem is the fact that the map is so big and to ride on a horse it can take up to a long time to get from point a to point b, but however it's pretty nice to have a big map and I felt this game really did bring back more than Red Dead Redemption I think it did improve from the last game. Really don't listen to all the people giving this game a 0 because they really don't know what a good game is as of right now I would say this is the game of the year or at least the game of the year so far. But really people giving this game a 0 have no real reason to argue because they either hate the fact that it's not on PC or they don't like the fact that it's mostly horse riding or they don't like the fact that they aren't getting passed chapter 1 of the game. Really complete this game and then tell me that it's bad because really there is a good story to this game and it explains a lot more to the first game. Really if you don't think you'll like this cowboy activity then don't play the game it's really that simple.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Firstly, the review score is overhyped at a 10. I think this is around a 7. It’s good but not great. Yes there is attention to detail but it should be a fun game, not a simulator. Everything is muddy and drab and wet and depressing, with all NPCs living miserable lives. When the main character got terminal TB and started coughing up blood I quit. This downbeat town and the constant chores just wasn’t enough fun to keep me going.… Expand

I found the gameplay to get very stale very quickly which lead to me not being able to still play, once I had finished it afterwards. Overall RDR2 is a stellar game with a good narrative and art direction but lacks heavily in the gameplay section, which in my opinion is the most important part to a game.… Expand

    I truly believe this game is an evolution of the medium. It presents the player with a world that is more alive than anything before it.

It presents the player with a world that is more alive than anything before it. A world with it's own laws (both physics and social), which are so deeply integrated into the moment-to-moment game play, that you're eventually funneled into experiencing the game differently from how we have been playing these types of games for the past decade or so (with utter disregard for the game world, it's environments, and it's inhabitants). And some people are just not ready for such change.

    In RDR 2, not only must you be aware of behaving "realistically" according to the environment's variables (crowded town vs hunting grounds), you are also tasked with making sure Arthur's needs are met, which goes from shaving and brewing your own coffee in the morning, to eating enough throughout the day, and properly resting at night to recover some much needed stamina. Taking a bath after a hectic gunfight also goes a long way into being more socially liked in-game. And don't even get me started with the care-taking of your horse and the relationship you can develop with it if you become a proper master! Brushing, feeding, patting, and even removing the horses' seat wins you points with your steed. These are all drastic changes and a shift into the realms of simulation, a shift most of us were unprepared for, but one I now welcome with open arms.

    I must say though that at the very beginning I was kind of taken aback with this new direction. But as I stuck with it, I realized I had started to really enjoy all of these sim-like mechanics. They may sound boring on paper, but if you just go with the flow, without wishing for the game to be something different, you might just start to realize the game's true genius. RDR 2 allows you to live out your most detailed cowboy fantasies, while also being the closest thing to a fully realized world we've seen in a game, and it provides a spectacular experience.

    As a matter of fact, all of these sim-like mechanics serve one purpose alone; to immerse the player in it's world in a deliberate and gradual manner, and it does so at it's own pace until you eventually give in. After a few chapters, I realized all these little tasks , when combined with the amazing story, breathtaking visuals, superb soundscape, and truly amazing animation, fuse to create an experience that is not of this gaming generation, but a solid first step into the next one. If there is one gripe I have, is the actual gun combat. The cover-based peek and shoot style is in dire need of revision for future iterations. There is nothing wrong with the system as is, it simply needs to evolve. We've played this shooting in other games before. It feels kinda old.

    I couldn't be happier to see the days of Ubi-open-world icon hunting fests finally come to an end. The genre was in dire need of a new, refreshing take and as usual, it is Rockstar who has once again set the tone for the future of the genre, maybe even games as a whole. Get. This. Game. Now.    … Expand

    Even at its worst, Red Dead Redemption 2 is just as great as its predecessor. It's bigger, more detailed, more realistic and improved upon in almost every way. Current technical issues could cease it from being Game of the Year quality, but for those who loved the last game will find plenty to enjoy here once again - so long as they don't mind it feeling a bit too similar at times.

    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]
