    The game is fine but the only problem is it's slow, but I guess the problem is me.

    You really can't rush this one, this game takes it's time presenting itself to you, almost to a fault. Once you get past the first part, which has a lot of annoying handholding and nearly plays itself on it's own, there's a lot of detail and entertainment here to be immersed in.

    Be warned that there is a lot of downtime, and most of the game will be spent riding on horseback from point A to point B, with very little agency on how fast you can go. These mechanics are my absolute dread in videogames, since my attention span for this stuff has been absolutely spent by games like Wind Waker and World of Warcraft.

    Still, if you don't mind the downtime, you'll have yourself a game that clearly was made with a lot of love and care to explore. Even though it lacks originality and it's not groundbreaking except for some features that really miss the mark for me (cinematic camera is one example, all that it managed to do was annoy me), the amount of polish here gives the game a clear enhacement to the already familiar open-world experience that Rockstar Games always had. RDR2 is a game worth playing.

Какого чёрта на низких настройках земля отрисовывается хуже, чем в Скайриме? Я, конечно, не мечтал увидеть каждую травинку, но от такого хочется вырвать себе глаза. Ужасная оптимизация. Просто ужасная. В новом Думе у меня забито 3/2гб видеопамяти, но не было ещё ни одного проседа; я не думаю что РДР было бы так сложно оптимизировать. Если говорить про сюжет, то он, конечно, так себе, да и главный герой какой-то слишком грубый и безжалостный, даже бесчеловечный, с Марстоном в рдр1 было играть намного приятнее. Тем не менее, играя в РДР2 я ни разу не задумался о том, какую игру мне ещё скачать. Не смотря на все минусы, я получал удовольствие от потраченных в ней часов. 8 ограбленных дилижансов из 10. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Как бы странно не было, ставля 9 не потому, что очень реалистично или красивая графика (хотя и это имеет место быть), а потому, что она мне и так в геймплейном плане сильно понравилось.То, что преподовалось в игре меня зацепило и вынудило поставить такой высокий бал.
    Тем не менее, в игре есть недостатки. То, что мне понравился геймплей, не означает, что он понравится всем. Да, в игре есть интеречные доп. задания, сокровища и интересная (для меня) система охоты. Но во-первых, имеющиеся деньги некуда тратить. Это в начале у тебя есть желание набрать денег и скупить весь арсенел оружия и всю одежду в игре. Но потом, если ты все-таки находил сокровища и у тебя скопилось огромное количество зелёних, оказывается, что арсенал оружия не такой уж и обширный и одежду покупать имеет смысл только через измение погоды. И вообще, кроме оружия, одежды и лошадей (чье количество тоже язык поворачивается назвать огромним) покупать больше нечего. Если бы в каких-то заброшеных логовах были бы не только деньги, а какие-то раритетные оружия, амулеты, браслеты --- всяческие предметы, повышающие характеристики героя, или комплекты одежды и вообще добавить в одежду броню,то игра заиграет новыми красками. Если бы в городах было намного больше всяких побочных заданий (что касается и охотников за головами) Если ыб предметы из легендарных животных приносили еще и какие-то перки, а не просто хорошо выглядели, то игре вообще бы цены не было. Но для меня она и так хороша, поэтому я ставлю 9.

    RDR2 is a really detailed game. If you are looking for the most fleshed-out world in gaming history up to this point, this game should be on your bucket list for sure.

    Arthur is a likable character throughout, and all of the voice actors are good as well. The side missions get a little repetitive after awhile too, but overall the game is a quite good and I would recommend it to anyone -- especially anyone who likes open world games (which I am usually not a fan of).

    I was disappointed because I had high expectations to this game,because of the amazing reviews. However I was let down. The game and story reminds me of a Western movie rather than a shooting game, and the game needs creativity in order to be amazing.

The acting - AMAZING (and i dont say that often, i can pick up a **** actor on tv etc instantly and they often ruin it for me) The graphics AMAZING and even the movements and facial expressions of Arthur, your horse and the other characters (even NPCs and wild animals too) are fantastic. The hunting system is great, its difficult to kill some tiny animals with a bloody bow and arrow but it makes it fun, so if you dont fancy doing some missions for a bit you can go hunting or do some challenges. The cooking/crafting system was strange at first but it makes sense and is quite simple really and quite enjoyable.
    This game is so realistic. It can be a very hard learning curve at the start and to be honest i nearly gave up this game after the first hour it really got on my nerves, specially when riding through towns and i kept knocking people over and getting bounties and witnesses to minor crimes (that was the most annoying bit throughout the game in all honesty) however i persevered and after a day or 2 i had learnt all the controls and nuances and I'm so glad I did.
    The missions are most of the time, different, and unexpected things happen in them. They can also be really long. The last few took me a week to complete, in fact I've been playing this game for the last 7 months, pretty much every other day with maybe the odd week break and that is how long its taken me to complete it - ive not got 100% im at 86.5 or something but ive done all the stranger and side missions that i have found, got all but the last legendary animal, done around half the challenges and explored the total map.
    Storywise - Arthur has been the best character I have seen in any video game. Theres so many funny lines that he says throughout the game aswell - he is a sarcastic lovable character. I think the most fun mission for me in this game is the one in the bar in Valentine with Lennie. After the game ended I had to watch this again.
    Yes it has some negatives, i think overall its an easy game to beat and maybe some difficulty settings would have been better here. Also the wanted system is very annoying, especially when committing train robberies - you have a bag over your head in a long underground train tunnel yet no lawmen are there and they somehow know its you before they even arrive. Nearly every time I have tried a train robbery my bounty was more than what I earned from it. This game is ABOUT a gang of criminals and the game makes it totally difficult to commit any crimes at all, if not even trying to steer you away from doing that. I suppose it makes sense given the various endings though but still.
    As a female I would have liked MORE FEMALE LEAD characters having a bigger role. Yeh its set in the late 1700’s and yes women were left behind in that era however the game was made in 2018. I thought Sadie was a great character and would have loved a bit more of that. Not even many stranger missions or encounters were from females. Apart from the ones that always needed saving, so Rockstar this would have been more ideal.
    Lack of fast travel for the most part of this game was quite annoying too - and made the game take so long. Only near the end of the game (i bought it 2nd hand) Rockstar introduced the fast travel (and photo mode which is fun too) it should have been in the game from the start. The auto equipping of weapons is annoying too. I would put some guns on my back ready for something, id get off the horse because i would come across someone that needs saving, id get there then i would have no guns on me! The game takes them off you for some reason if your still sat on your horse. Its similar for missions too and loads you up with random ones and not the ones you want. Another main annoyance is that half of the map is un-explorable until the main story ends and there is only one stranger mission that I have encountered here and I’ve ran around everywhere on this side of the map. Bit of a waste really and 3 legendary animals are on this side aswell which seems pointless as you can make trinkets out of them but don’t really have any use of them for many missions. A very minor thing that I would have liked is that Arthurs hair doesn't have a length limit! Why does it when everything else in the game is so detailed. even your horse has different hair lengths and colours to choose from lol
    In conclusion, Despite the negatives I'm really sad that I have finished the game now i wish it would carry on and on and on haha. Well done to Rockstar for this game, PLEASE make your next one as good as this - storywise especially. Arthur will always have a special place in my heart hahaha

    The game play just stinks in this game. I litterally can't stay awake long enough to play the game.

    The combat is the most boring toned down level of combat I seen ever. I spent over a hour looking at a horses behind to do a single mission that yielded a measly $60. Seriously it takes over a hour of nothing but boring horse riding to get anywhere. You can't shoot someone in the leg and

    Seriously it takes over a hour of nothing but boring horse riding to get anywhere.

    You can't shoot someone in the leg and have them limp crawl or even give up they just keep running.

    Every kill is just the same old tired roll over in third side scene.

    When you shoot someone they just get regenerated later.

    If your horse just bumps into a character in the game the whole town will turn out to shoot at you and I post this bounty that is near impossible to pay.

    The consequences for doing anything remotely bad are way to severe.

    The characters in the game just aren't interesting or memorable at all.

    I just found my self struggling to continue to play this game.

    And what the heck is up with having to stop and eat, and groom your horse, and maintain weapons... It's such a chore, I think I'd rather clean my toilet or mow the lawn. I don't play video games to do chores maintenance and upkeep: who's terrible idea was that?

    It is possible that the game will get better if I stick to it: but for the time being I have lost the will to continue with this bloated monolithic collection of not so fun game play. For the time being I am personally declaring this game to be a huge dissapointing and am struggling to understand the rave reviews the game is currently getting

    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]
