    It's a masterpiece! Thank you Rockstar games for this great game. The best open world, not huge, but very elaborate. I hope that you will make Grand Theft Auto 6 worked the same as RED DEAD REDEMPTION 2.

    Привет ПК боярам. Почему только сейчас отвечаю на критику элитных пк геймеров... Да как то увлекся, знаете ли игрой RDR2. И скажу честно... даже как то жаль писюков что они не смогут поиграть в эту игру. Сказать что это игра одна из лучших за всю историю индустрии - ничего не сказать.

Да как то увлекся, знаете ли игрой RDR2. И скажу честно... даже как то жаль писюков что они не смогут поиграть в эту игру. Сказать что это игра одна из лучших за всю историю индустрии - ничего не сказать. Даже игрой ее назвать сложно. это скорее произведение исскуства. Я не идеализирую ее, идеальных игр нет, но.... если посмотреть на другие игры, на отношения разработчиков к ним и на то какую рабьоту проделали те самые разработчики я не могу поставить 9-ку. Именно эта оценка достойна игры. 9 тверлых баллов с плюсом. Почему не 10? Потому, что игра не лиршена минусов. За них много сказано. Лично для меня это немного корявое управление (особенно во время лута). Но +1 бал я накидываю разработчикам, которые проделали титаническую работу. Первые 10-15 часов геймплея я не переставал удивляться насколько в игре много проработаных мелочей, как скурпулезно разработики отнеслись к своему детищу. Не оставив без внимания ничего! Как только игра перестала удиивлять своими мелочами у меня открылся рот от сюжетных поворотов. Персонажи игры стали такими близкими. Ты начинаешь им сопереживать. Хотя я не любитель глубокого погружения в виртуальный мир игры эта игра меня очаровала. Мне просто иногда хотелось скакать на лошади и смотреть на местные красоты. Открытый мир превосходен. Вы не найдете здесь ни одной похожей на друг-друга локацию. Природа настолько разнообразна. В общем я могу еще долго осыпать игру комплиментами. Это игра которая действительно оставит свой след в индустрии и в ближаешие годы именно на нее будут равняться конкуренты. Рокстар снова создали шедевр.… Expand

    No game gives you quite the same IGP as RDR2. It almost feels like you are there. I finished the main story in approx 70 hrs, so the game gives you a lot of play-time for your money. I would recomend trying not to go from one mission to another non-stop. Try to go hunting, fishing, rob somebody or race a stranger on a horse. I was way too focused on the main story.

He is not some random generic character like you often see in games, but deep and complex human being with internal struggle with what he's done and been doing. Map is full of stuff to do. There are variety of different strangers, who you can help or just kill. You can just drown in the amount of content, and easily forget about the main story. Oh yes, the story is amazing. Every mission had meaning and going through 6 main chapters of the game was great. I couldn't wait for new events of the game to unravel and pushed some parts of the game forward just to get to know what happens to the gang.

    I'm so amazed by this stuff I almost forget about the downsides. For example looting bodies is pain in the ass after aprox. 50h, fast travel isn't really that fast and would be cool if I could just "teleport" to some places later on in the game instead of revisiting every place countless number of times. Those contextual controls were also annoying as hell (for example picking up different stuff on different button each time). Still, the best game, the most interesting (sidequest-wise) experience I've had in a loooong time. I thought about 9/10, but when I've completed the game I changed my mind and decided to give it a solid 10/10. I wish we had more games like it.    … Expand

The detail in this game is something unseen in any other game and probably won't be seen often in the future. The amount of content is also something I haven't seen since The Witcher 3 and is greatly appreciated. The main story alone is around 60hrs plus the side content makes the $60 price a steal. Player freedom is at an all time high in Red Dead Redemption 2. The customization of your outfit, weapons, and even your horse is insane. Every piece of your outfit can be customized to your liking and nearly every piece of your weapon can be altered. The detail is what makes this game something special. The story and writing is excellent throughout the entire game and the voice acting make it even better. There is no bad voice actor with little to no repeated voices. Arthur Morgan is an excellent character and one that will be remembered like John Marston. The one area where this game falters a little is the combat. The controls are quite a free as I would like which leads to auto lock aiming between each shot. It doesn't ruin the game by any means but it is a criticism in a deeply detailed game. I'm sure this game won't be for everyone but this is truly game chaining for the gaming industry. When I'm not playing this game I want to play it which is probably the best compliment I can give a game.… Expand

When i tried to save my progress it refused (FYI the missions can be long and you cant save during) so i was forced to replay the first hour again before finally being set free. After I'd spent 3 to 4 hours having zero fun and listening to folks bang on about a bad heist I gave up. FYI Rockstar: no one ever has described the notion of getting food, changing clothes, washing yourself and your horse as "fun".

    It is however a gorgeous looking world and i suspect there's a good plot in there somewhere. Unfortunately 4 hours of not fun is enough for me Im afraid. I might pick it up again one day when its in a bargain bin and i consider picking out hats to be a fun and engaging activity.    … Expand

    One of the best games for me. Perfect optimization for PS4. But i think more action with gunplay would be great. And shooting aspect can be better (how it feeling, how it controls).

    Take a cue from Ubisoft games like The Division, etc on how to do better controls.
    Tap to sprint on horse, sucks.
    Amazing storytelling. Great dialogue.

    Without out a doubt the most realistic game I have ever played, it would take me hours to list the reasons why I loved it, but the only reason I didn't give the game a 10, because I feel like it was a game, for me too big for it's own good. I doubt I will ever finish everything in that game.

    Ignore the troll 'PC master race' negative reviews, this is an amazing experience in interactive story telling. Evocative characters, a living breathing world and engaging story (even if all who played RDR know the outcome). Yes, the controls are a little ropy at times and shooting a little stiff, but this is open world gaming at its finest.

    This game is almost a perfect game for me, but I realize it is not everyone's cup of tea. The campaign is like being the protagonist in an amazing film. The quirkiness and depth to all the various characters is awesome. Personally, even though the story is very long, I found it engaging from start to finish. The parts outside of the campaign are where this game really asserts itself as one of the best I've ever played: The world is so incredibly alive and vivid, with incredibly beautiful views and interesting little stories to explore. I could spend hours roaming around hunting, fishing, and exploring random cabins. I've probably put in over 100 hours and I'm still enjoying it.

    The cons to this game are what prevents it from being 10/10:
    - a little buggy
    - unintuitive controls
    - clunky feel
    - tons of unexplained complicated inventory systems

    If you are looking for a shooter or high-paced action game, this is not the game for you.

    If you are looking for a character-driven open world exploration game, where you are a badass cowboy, you will love this game. This is one of the best rpg open world games ever made, and although the game can be clunky, i still find the shootouts extremely satisfying.

    This is a very deep game, there are several "mini-games" that could be fully featured on their own: hunting, fishing, gambling.

    The customization is also incredibly deep, from your guns, to your outfits, to the colour of the knob on your horses saddle - you can customize everything.

    I also disagree that there isn't a whole lot of choice given to you. You might not be able to change the story significantly, but whether you choose to do things the good or evil way is a very compelling component to the game. I legitimately felt regret when I was tasked with performing some evil actions to help my gang - not many games are able to evoke an emotional response in me.

    This is might be my favourite game of all time, I wanted to give it a 9.5/10, but settled on a 9 because there is some polishing that could be done. Users who don't understand that this isn't a shooter, this isn't gta - this is a story about a gang of quirky outlaws and finding your place in the world.    … Expand

    Ok wow red dead redemption 2 what can i say about this game that wasn't said i guess ill do a pros cons review because i can rant about this game for hours on end
    this game is just wow its so beautiful and detailed i could just spend hours just looking at it i played like 90 hours and i still got plenty stuff to do so ill start with the pros because i got a lot of em
    PROS:
    - ill mention it again because i'm just shocked about the attention to detail just wow from the famous horse balls shrinking to the little things such as hair growing and dead animals decomposing

    - this one is kinda connected to the previous pro but the graphics are just wow and that's on console i cant even imagine what would it look like on pc

    -the feel when you fire a weapon is so awesome especially from first person wow you can actually see and hear the weapon hitting and firing

    -the realism is so awesome i loved the fact that they made this game so realistic it adds some difficulty to it for example you cant fast pick up and loot you gotta wait for the animation like in real life which i really liked made me get even more immersed in the game

    -the npc's are smarter and you can talk with basically everyone

    -the map is huge like really really huge and you can spend most of your time riding and wondering the wilds

    -the wild life feels so authentic and real i can actually see deer minding their own business and basically living their own life also you can see predators hunt and eat which is pretty cool

    -the character development is just wow i got really attached to Artur Duch John and the rest of the gang and if something would happen i got really sad about it

    -the story is just wow the start was slow but it continues to get better and better

    - a lot of people try to rush this game and then fail and cry about it and don't understand the fact that this game is needed to take slowly you have to breath everything and play as if you are in the game yourself only then you will really enjoy the game

    -the music oh my god the music is so beautiful and doesn't feel out of place it really sets you in that wild west time

    -there is a lot of side missions and you can do them by travelling the world and meeting a lot of different strangers also a lot of mini games such as poker the hand knife game fishing domino and plenty more also you can hunt legendary fish and wild life and sell it for some money and craft some clothes out of their skin
    there is also a full fledged Theatre

    -the hair growing mechanic when you can trim it you can customize weapons and there are a lot of clothes you can buy and customize Artur with

    CONS:

    -bounty system is really broken you cant defend your self without being wanted for assault and you cant even explain your self to the law

    -lack of fast travel i mean there is one that you unlock but its basically a one way ticket i wish they could give you something at the end of the game but i guess not

    - there are a lot of bugs and crashes in my playthrough i had one crash in an important time of the story and just to much bugs

    -the starting mission is painfully long and slow like i know its basically a tutorial but its so slow i really wanted to die the first few hours

    all this brings me to the final score of the game i wished i could have given this game a 10 but it falls short on somethings but i cant give it anything lower then a 9 because its such a legendary triple A game so my final score to Read Dead Redemption 2 is a 9/10 its a must buy game and in my opinion the game of the year yes it has some cons but its so good you can easily forget about them    … Expand

    Red Dead Redemption 2 is an action-adventure romp through a changing West which takes place at the turn of the 20th century, and is a prequel to the previous title: Red Dead Redemption (PS3), story-wise; Another game which received near-perfect high scores from reviewers, and with good reason.

    Story: You play as Arthur Morgan, an outlaw who's having to fight for survival in a world    Red Dead Redemption 2 is an action-adventure romp through a changing West which takes place at the turn of the 20th century, and is a prequel to the previous title: Red Dead Redemption (PS3), story-wise; Another game which received near-perfect high scores from reviewers, and with good reason.

    Story:
    You play as Arthur Morgan, an outlaw who's having to fight for survival in a world where the Wild West becomes more and more tame with each passing day. Battling with wildlife, gang-life, and your own internal struggles of morality and mortality.
    Red Dead Redemption 2 does many things better than its predecessors, and provides an experience you simply will not get anywhere else, and with an online component released later this month, I feel the need to give it a perfect 10.

    Gameplay:
    This game is superb in its delivery-- The world is rich with detail. The stakes feel high. The culture reflected in the game, feels genuine (more often than not), and the questions of morality, answered by the player's actions, which is the heart of the protagonist's story-- truly felt pressuring at times, as I found myself teetering between outlaw and cowboy-savior, often.

    Sound:
    The soundtrack to the game is appropriate to the source material and does a good job of setting the mood dynamically. There aren't any tracks that have particularly jumped out at me as memorable, but I don't think the music in the game seeks to be catchy, it only seeks to set the stage.
    The sound design, all the weapons, interactions, voice acting, animal sounds, etc. all feel genuine.

    Controls:
    The controls for this game may be complicated for some, at first, but are worth sticking with to learn everything your character is capable of doing.
    The lack of approachability may seem like a negative mark for some, but I welcome the freedom in an open-world game.
    There are moments where the complex "you can touch and loot everything" approach may hinder the player from easily interacting with an area with loot in it, but again, I would take the minor inconvenience of having to stand just right to pick up an item in a pile, just to have the greater amount of freedom elsewhere.

    About negative reviews:
    I was very surprised to see that this game received (at the time of this review's writing) a sub-8 score.
    Negative reviews talk about how there's "nothing to do"-- or how the "controls" are bad, and "feel like an afterthought", but I strongly disagree.
    Like the game itself, the controls are complex and completely contextual, and a great deal of thought has gone into getting them right.
    This is both a pro and a con, as it allows for a great range of player choice, but also means that there's a bit of a learning curve for the player.

    Playing on the PS4 I have not run into any of the bugs some reviewers have come across, but I don't doubt that there are bugs in the game-- it's absolutely massive.

    Closing statements:
    I really have enjoyed my time playing Red Dead Redemption 2. I have other friends who are playing through it as well, and you know it's a special game when we always have a story to tell each other about our playthrough. Either something funny happened at the saloon, or we ran into a plan gone afoul. It's fun to discuss and compare what choices we've taken at key moments, and be excited to hear about them. (The last game that made me feel that way was Skyrim (2011)).
    Having played GTA Online for a while with some friends, I honestly can't wait for Red Dead Online to be released, because the only thing that would make this outlaw/cowboy open world experience better, would be robbing trains with actual friends!

    Red Dead Redemption 2 is not groundbreaking in it's technical aspect or it's graphical fidelity, but it is groundbreaking for what it does with world creation, story telling, and player - NPC interaction. The world is massive, and there is plenty to do. From quests, to fishing and hunting, challenges, table games such as poker and dominoes, strangers to meet, races, collectibles, etc.Red Dead Redemption 2 is not groundbreaking in it's technical aspect or it's graphical fidelity, but it is groundbreaking for what it does with world creation, story telling, and player - NPC interaction. The world is massive, and there is plenty to do. From quests, to fishing and hunting, challenges, table games such as poker and dominoes, strangers to meet, races, collectibles, etc. The main story is story-telling at its absolute best. RDR2 makes you care about so many characters in a way most other games fail to.

    This game is incredibly polished (I've encountered very few bugs, and even those were very minor). The Rockstar engine continues to hold up well despite its age, with only the occasional hiccup in frame rate in larger, more dense, areas.    … 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.
