    Rockstar наконец-то смогли создать по настоящему серозный проект. Режиссура, графика, сюжет на най высшем уровне.. Крутой открытый мир с множеством возможностей. Лучшая игра года.

    Из минусов стрельба (почему то рокстар не могу сделать нормальную шутерную составляющую без автоприцеливания)и может быть немного однообразный геймплей.

    Game is awesome! But easy to play
    Only one minus:
    There are no custom hard settings, it would be cool to put a realism mode. When npc kill u with one bullet (like in TLOU on grounded) and cold weather could kill in few seconds.

    Cons
    - The line between what is fun, and what is too mundane is crossed way too often for the sake of realism
    - Looting and interacting animations take a painfully long time in a game that is centered around looting and robbing.
    - Travel in the world can feel terrible when you are essentially taking 5 minutes to go from point A to point B, (though this can be nice if you are like me, and trying to multitask.    … Expand

    I’ve never played a Red Dead Redemption game before, but the trailers made me buy the game. I have to say: I’m not disappointed at all. This is one of the best games in the last 10 years. Loved every minute of it.

    Un juego muy impresionante gráficamente, una joya en los detalles, muy pulido y bien trabajado se nota que es un juego de rockstar aunque no es para todo el publico ya que no es un juego de acción, en general es juego es una majestuosidad y el campeón a vencer en cuestión a mundos abiertos, el online por otro lado se siente un poco vació, incluso tiende a ser aburrido.

    A review from someone who recently got 100 % game completion

    Let's start with the big questions; - Is the game a trash that I should avoid buying? No. - So should I believe on the reviewers and buy the game right now? No. - Is the game a masterpiece? Depends... The main problem with RDR 2 wasn't the game itself, but the hype created by fanboys. You can tell that by all the    A review from someone who recently got 100 % game completion

    Let's start with the big questions;
    - Is the game a trash that I should avoid buying? No.
    - So should I believe on the reviewers and buy the game right now? No.
    - Is the game a masterpiece? Depends...

    The main problem with RDR 2 wasn't the game itself, but the hype created by fanboys. You can tell that by all the opinions saying the game is immersive, massive, with a good plot and all... But the final score is a 6,0/7,0. The hype made us believe the game would be something from another world, but it isn't, it's an excellent game for the generation, but stops there.
    - The world is stunning and alive and the details are amazing for the ones who actually want to explore. You can find letters, events, people and collectibles that give you the sensation of not being the center of the world, but a mere part of it. However, you may get annoyed by how much you have to explore to actually find something.
    - The story is slow paced but very immersive, with well written characters, you will love some and hate others. The plot hooking RDR 2 to RDR 1 is smooth and well made. Arthur, in my humble opinion, is a very charismatic character.
    - The gameplay is ok, nothing much different from its predecessor (RDR 1), with the difference being on Arthur's heavier moviments. It could be better but is far from being terrible. I would say annoying, just like GTA 5, where you get stuck in places you weren't supposed to.
    - Amazing soundtrack (you may not even enjoy the game, but one of the songs from it might catch you)
    - Multiplayer its an extra, just like GTA 5, another game that people forget it has an amazing story mode and blame R* for caring too much about the online (even when the fanbase itself cares more about the online...)

    RDR 2 is a must play IF you enjoy a slow paced, well written story, with good characters and a massive world to explore (and well, it's a game about cowboys, so you should expect to ride horses A LOT, of course). The game is a very cinematic experience and has everything to be a masterpiece but it really depends on you to decide this. If you enjoy fast paced stories with tons of action (everyone loves, won't blame you) or gets annoyed by huge maps that force you to explore (or just don't have the time fo it) then you shouldn't buy RDR 2.    … Expand

Arthur Morgan has one of the greatest character arcs In gaming, whether you choose a low or high honor play through. It’s message on one’s morals, beliefs, and purpose in the world are felt not only through its characters but through the player. As the century comes to an end and laws become more prevalent, Arthur faces an identity crises where he finds himself unsure of what his place is in this world. The story speaks volumes and translates perfectly over into 2010s red dead redemption game. This tragic tale is one that every person should experience. Greatly moving in every way.… Expand

    most unparalleled. The story is predictable and feels a bit forced - some turn of events simply doesn't make sense and the characters turn either dumb or genius according to what's convenient in furthering the storyline - and it's also quite quite static.

Now what is it you ask? Well I would say even with its flawed controls and quirky, kill a bird that runs into your body instantly, it is an amazing simulation/mini-rpg/single player god send game ever created. It is a gamre where you can pour 50+ hours into the story alone, 50+ hours into hunting and fishing, 50+ hours into anything you can think of and do it beautifully and with amazing attention to detail. So for the other people with opinions who hate it........ I suggest don't play it then. The sad part is a lot of those reviewers probably gave COD 8-10 and Battlefield an 8-10 and any other horrible FPS game in the last 10 years an 8-10, but that is your opinion and one you have the right to have, just like this is mine. If you want a game that you can pick up whenever or actually play through it in a week or take the next 2 years to play it a different way every time, then this is the game for you.

    I will give you one example of detail, I had just got in a shoot out, shot the guy in the head, one shot and saw some a 3 star buck in the distance, so I decided to go hunt the buck well about 5-10 minutes passed and I though well I forgot to loot the body let me see if it is still there. So I went back and there was the body but there where three California vultures in it so as I got closer I realized that the body had a huge hole in its chest, the vultures started picking at the body and a hole appeared in his chest, THAT WAS AWESOME. The attention to detail in most areas is astonishing.

    So, play it, don't play, i don't care because I will be playing it for the next 3-5 years on and off until the next amazing Rockstar game. GTA VI Vice City II??????    … Expand

    The game is absolutely gorgeous, I've played great looking games & graphics aren't everything but this has set the new bar. The characters & writing are great. The story, whilst starting off a little too slow is very enjoyable. The customisation for yourself, weapons, horses, camp etc is deep. I spent 30mins yesterday just customising my weapons.

    I like how realistic the game can be, hunting/supplying & working around your camp to get the best out of it. The fact you look after Arthur whether it's eating/resting/washing/shaving etc. It's never once felt like a chore or something, it's just something you do once in a while that has an effect on the game & helps break the missions apart with a greater feeling of a realistic game world.

    I do think Arthur's movement is slightly too heavy & slow. It's not bad, it could just be slightly less & still retain the same feeling of a realistic movement system. Lastly, controls. There's controls galore, it does feel overly complicated with so many different controls to remember & then on top of that with so many different weapon wheels, crafting options, item menu's, dialogue menu's etc. i'm often pushing the wrong buttons or being caught out when the game wants you to be using the dialogue menu whilst a fire fight breaks out. I do see how in some ways it adds to the game, making it a little more complex & it doesn't really lessen my enjoyment however a choice of a simpler system would've been nice.

    But overall i'm really loving this game. It's incredibly immersive, full of content (how games should be for £50+) & unlike some enjoyable but mediocre games you just want to rush through, i'm just really enjoying taking my time with these characters in this brilliant game world.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. a little too hyped, but still a solid game. Story is good. Shooting feels good. horses feel great. doesn't have the **** setup missions from gtav. I wish there were some more weapons; I wanted to go to another gunsmith and see the different weapons they had, but every vendor has the same thing. lots of fun shootouts. Has some good humor. Some cut-scenes were really amazing and showed emotion in an indirect manner. I wish the main character was a more compelling, but he still passes as a human being, but I think thats more of a matter of opinion. And lots of side stuff to do. Random encounters arent always a mission and i like that, keep it simple. I am almost done with the game and will be updating my review after that.

    FINAL REVIEW: A really great game. Arthur becomes a father like character by the end of the game and that made me feel a connection towards him. I ended up liking him more than John. The game gets A LOT better after the 3rd chapter. The pace picks up and tensions rise in the later chapters. The ending is set up very well and delivers an emotional experience that I loved so much. There were a few characters I wish I could spend more time with, but the character building was still pretty good. I wish the new area after you complete the game was less empty; there isnt much to do. Sorry if this review is a bit messy, Im just listing any criticism or praise that comes to mind. The people that are giving the game a 0/10 really need to grow the **** up and actually play the game.    … Expand

    Poder subir a lo alto de una montaña
    y ver a lo lejos las distintas llanuras, vegetación, praderas, ríos...
    y todo ello a lomos de nuestro caballo,
    es algo digno de contemplar.

    Otro apartado a destacar es la iluminación.
    El cómo interactúan las distintas luces con los objetos del entorno
    en función del movimiento,
    la hora del día y la intensidad de cada foco,
    hace que las distintas localizaciones
    se impregnen de una personalidad propia.

    La paleta de colores de esta segunda entrega
    es bastante más variada,
    ambientes fríos, otros más cálidos,
    con mucha o poca vegetación...
    Compone un lejano oeste mucho más colorido
    de lo que podríamos tener en nuestro imaginario colectivo.

    Las animaciones están cuidadas con un mimo especial.
    Al contrario que muchos otros juegos,
    en los que recoger un objeto del suelo
    significa pasar por encima
    y al segundo tenerlo en nuestro inventario,
    en esta producción prácticamente todas las acciones
    tienen su animación,
    lo que hace que todo se vuelva más tangible y físico.

    Combate

    Desde luego nos encontramos
    ante un juego clásico de Rockstar.
    Sandbox de mundo abierto, en tercera persona.

    Tiroteos, duelos o peleas a puñetazo limpio,
    serán una de las vías que tendremos
    para solucionar los problemas que se nos pongan por delante.
    Aunque no siempre habrá que usar la violencia,
    ya que se nos presentarán ocasiones
    en las que no hará falta que matemos a nadie,
    lo cual podrá beneficiar a nuestra fama,
    convirtiéndonos así en un hombre más o menos honorable.
    Entonces, los tenderos y comerciantes
    nos harán descuentos en sus negocios.
    Si estamos en busca y captura, nadie confiará en nosotros.
    Para limpiar nuestro honor,
    podremos pagar nuestras deudas en la oficina de correos. El Dead Eye vuelve con ciertas mejoras, pero sigue manteniendo la mecánica fundamental de ralentizar el tiempo para poder marcar distintos objetivos a la vez. Este tipo de habilidades nos ayudarán en momentos donde nos veamos superados en número, o contra depredadores letales. Porque habrá animales que en un abrir y cerrar de ojos nos devorarán en un instante. Conclusiones Red Dead Redemption 2 es, sin lugar a dudas, el nuevo estándar en cuanto a sandbox se refiere; la vara de medir por la que tendrán que pasar todos los siguientes juegos. Un hito al alcance de muy pocos estudios. La densidad y realismo que ofrece puede resultar abrumadora para algunos jugadores, incluso tediosa, pero lo cierto es que no hay producción equiparable en cuanto a valores de producción. Este es un producto para dedicarle horas, muchas horas. Realmente, cada vez que te pones a jugar sientes que es distinta a la anterior. En una cazas, en otra avanzas en la trama, otro día estás en busca de unos forajidos para cobrar el precio por su cabeza y otro día te persiguen a ti. Hay veces en que directamente te da la sensación de haber malgastado tu tiempo, solo porque has estado paseando con tu caballo o jugando al póquer en alguna cantina. Volver al viejo Oeste de la mano de Arthur Morgan es una experiencia refrescante y familiar, mantiene muchas de las cosas que hicieron grande a su predecesor, pero añade un sinfín de posibilidades.

Also, whilst in third person, you can see yourself hunkering down, whilst in first person, you can always see everything-which feels wrong and like cheating [the trade off for being in cover first-person in all these other games I've mentioned, is increased tension-as you can't see what's going on-I love that, as with the HUD disabled, you're forced to take lots of little "peaks" to eyeball targets, lest someone sneaks up on you]. They might as well have just made the camera third person whenever you're in cover. So if Cyberpunk nails all this first person stuff, which it looks like it already has; then with it's similarly deep NPC interactions, it will eclipse RDR2. So much for all these "objective" 10/10 reviews. I would give it a 9 out of ten, simply because it does pretty much everything else so well that anything less than an 8 seems churlish. But no game with combat this clunky, and lots of it; deserves a ten.… 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.
