    Оставлю свой вклад в шедевр от Рокстар. Такой детализированной, продуманной и качественной игры на сегодняшний день увы нет.
    Сюжет шикарен, музыка, звук, да все по десятке! Очень рекомендую тем, кто еще не играл.

    I've felt compelled to create an account just to review this game. Never have I felt a game's reputation is so undeserved and simply there because it's Rockstar, because it's a huge world and because it's a graphical masterpiece.

    It's boring as [choose a four-letter expletive]. I don't want to clean my horse, or go through three drop-down menus to find something that restores my stamina
    I've felt compelled to create an account just to review this game. Never have I felt a game's reputation is so undeserved and simply there because it's Rockstar, because it's a huge world and because it's a graphical masterpiece.

    It's boring as [choose a four-letter expletive]. I don't want to clean my horse, or go through three drop-down menus to find something that restores my stamina core or my horse's stamina core. I don't want to be 'wanted' as a murderer for an event that nobody even witnessed in the middle of nowhere. It doesn't make sense. It's frustrating in how unintuitive everything is. From the controls to the game mechanics. Want to sell some of your invent to make some cash, well, you better get ready to take a four-hour horse-ride in cinematic mode to get to someone who will buy something off you that's supposedly of high intrinsic value like a legendary bear pelt. You can talk to every NPC, isn't that amazing? Erm, no, two sentence non-sequitur conversations where you have to defuse the situation if you dare get within six feet of the person you're talking to. Maybe Rockstar was onto social distancing several years ago. Well done to Rockstar for predicting social distancing and projecting it via time travel into the Old West of 1899.

    I'm done with this game and I barely started it. Please, save your money. Do not buy into the hype and do not buy this game with good money.

    I'm usually a huge fan of Rockstar games but not this one. There are far better open-world games where interactions with NPCs are far more meaningful and side-missions are more interesting than a cinematic set-piece with a bear after five minutes of following clues and a scent trail. There are also far more interesting action-adventure games, you know, the ones with action...and adventure... Not just a big world and impressive graphics.

    i’ve never immersed and invested in a game quiet like this before. the world, the story, characters and gameplay and the sheer details. one of the greatest that push the envelope what a video game can be. after RDR2 all open world game have to look at it as a point of reference, though it will be hard to top, but anything less will be unacceptable.
    this game is a masterpiece.

    Even if is a beautiful game, the 80 hours of main history does not allow you to have a good control of your actions to explore, and the very bad 8+ Epilogue destroys the history completely to remind you that is not Red Dead Redemption 2 but RDR 0.5, also de shooting system, is incredible easy to do headshots, which destroy most of the key points on a western based game

    RDR2 has an awesome soundtrack and carries a taste of good farwest movie. It is definitely one of the best of recent times

    Игра очень понравилась. В первую очередь - хорошая кастомизация персонажа. Тонны мелких деталей, интересный геймплей. Из минусов есть лишь одно - долгое перемещение на лошади, которая в своё время устаёт очень быстро.

    Minor spoilers(very minor, should not really matter to anyone, but be warned if you don't want to know anything about the story)

    I really liked the first RDR and really hoped that this would be a great game. I did dredge through this monotonous snooze-fest of beautiful scenery and was just left with the annoyance of time wasted with no payoff.

    The annoyance that hit me first in the game is that while it has amazing attention to details, it's in all the wrong places. Like the horse testicles are modeled, but no one bothered to have even a cursory glance at how horses behave. You really can't ride a horse off a cliff, unless there's a lot of trust to begin with. Also, you can't ride a horse into a tree, even if you wanted. In RDR 2, the horses will run into trees and off cliffs, even if you have just stolen the horse. This is just stupid and immersion breaking. It's like the devs have never actually seen a live horse, let alone interacted with one in any capacity. Also, the movement of there character movement is nicely physically modeled but they control like they are walking on stilts.

    The story was also just phoned in. The same story arc is told several times with minor variance. The characters are mostly at least adequately written, but the story does not reflect these characters in any way and forces and even requires them to behave in a very different manner than what the characters would reasonably do. The story also drags on and on with not a lot of story to tell. This is not up to Rockstar's usual standards.

    The gameplay is clunky, not a deal breaker, but nothing to write home about. The less said about the horses, the better.

    The worst thing about the game is in its pacing. It does seem like a giant middle finger pointed at the player. Most of the time is spent going from from point A to point B. There's also an astounding amount of busy work that's neither challenging or fun. The absolute low-point for me was a house-building sequence, where you just tapped a single button for several minutes, what engaging gameplay. There are some high points in the game but they are few and far between. The mission lengths were also all over the place with no real indication, whether the mission would be a shorter thing or 1 hour ride-to-several-places. Not that the missions couldn't be partitioned in a way since most of the long missions are spent just going to somewhere, slowly. The completely arbitrary mission lengths would not be so annoying, if you could save in the missions and not having to play a boring riding sequence again if you want to go to sleep or something.

    All this being said, RDR 2 has a good game in it, but it's just buried under a huge pile of pretentious disregard for the medium. Then again, the single player story might just be a lazy throw-in for a cash-grab multiplayer.

    Im Gegensatz zum ersten Teil, zieht sich das Spiel wie Kaugummi. Musste mich dazu Durchringen es zu beenden. Aber wer gerne Stunden lang mit dem Pferd reitet und eher auf Simulationen steht, dem wird es gefallen, so wie dem Großteil der Spieler.

    I think that this game is very boring. I'll admit that it is a very beatiful game and út has a great game mechanic, bit I think that it's only a GTA V copy with western style. I should've made this game tó a GTA V DLC instead of a complete AAA game.

Okay let's stop the hype **** The controls are **** awful, the shooting is terrible, Arthur moves like a **** snail, your horse is the meanest bastard to control. Graphics are probably the best thing about it because the gameplay is atrocious. Let's not even talk about Sadie Adler. Let's stop the 10 out of 10, 100,000 out of 100,000, this game does not deserve it, the **** story is a joke, it has good moments, sure but the story overall is weak and I'm Goddamned certain if anyone else made this story they would be mocked and trashed. People say the world is immersive but I can never enjoy it for two minutes before some **** runs under my horse and the whole entire retarded police department of Saint-Denis goes after me or I push more than two people and immediately I must pay a 5,000,000 dollar fine for **** reasons.

    So, I got over halfway through the game. Normally, these sorts of games are right up my alley. Huge, yet detailed and full of things to do. A great story. Customization. That's about where the "good" ends for me. And don't get me wrong, these are big parts of a game...but the bad, too, is...significant.

    The gameplay feels like two different teams struggled against each other to unify
    So, I got over halfway through the game. Normally, these sorts of games are right up my alley. Huge, yet detailed and full of things to do. A great story. Customization. That's about where the "good" ends for me. And don't get me wrong, these are big parts of a game...but the bad, too, is...significant.

    The gameplay feels like two different teams struggled against each other to unify into one vision. On one hand, you have the ultra-realism. They create a huge world that seems to be alive and breathe. It's obvious you're meant to feel immersed, to really care about the characters, story, locations, and so on. And then a minute later you're sprinting around on a mission, forced to gun down 30 cops like you're playing GTA. Do you want to make a hyper-realistic game, or an arcade shooter? Pick one or the other because the inclusion of one kneecaps the other.

    They often took the realism way too far, and the gunplay not far enough. People don't want to sit around watching Arthur slowly pull cans out of a cupboard for the 451st time. A simple skip button after the tutorial would have fixed this. People don't need to sit there dumbly mashing a button for five minutes as you attempt to ride your way back to town from a mission. Again, a simple "automatically ride to x" option would have fixed this. Nobody wants to sit there blankly staring at the screen mashing a single button. How was that supposed to be fun? It wasn't, but it's done in the name of realism. And there's where the gunplay is supposed to come in. This is the intended "fun" part of the game. And yet it feels so boring and hollow. You go into cover, pop up, enemies can't aim but if they hit you, it does nothing, anyway. You gun them all down paying half-attention, a cutscene plays, and now you have to ride back to camp for the next five minutes. Again. And again. And again. The good writing attempts to salvage this, but the formula being the exact same thing gameplay-wise for just about every mission overwhelms the save attempt for me.

    Outside of these criticisms, a final one may be in that, several months after release, some of the game's mechanics still barely work and seemingly have been abandoned to cash in on Red Dead Online's microtransactions. The masks only work half the time, and if they don't, it can easily be some guy you've never seen before recognizing you...somehow. Want to get off a train? After watching the overly long cutscene, you'll have a guard throw a fit at you for being on the train. Despite just using said train and trying to now get off. Like Poker? Don't play in Saint Denis - something went wrong there and a certain character constantly destroys everyone else at the table for whatever reason (Google it). Sometimes your horse avoids trees while running. Other times it pushes you directly into one.
    In many ways, Red Dead Redemption 2 feels like an amazing game in concept, that is heavily damaged by its extremely outdated gameplay and obsession with a system of realism that it, by itself, sabotages. Trading fun for that realism was a gamble, and it looks like it worked out for them, but in my opinion it probably shouldn't have. I can see an argument for a 8 (Any higher is overboard, honestly) depending on the player, but for me...6.5 rounded up to a 7.

    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]
