    para ser franco el juego no es lo que esperaba, el control es azaroso y de jugabilidad aburida, gaficamente se ve bien, pero no como lo que se esperaba, nada nuevo, nada novedoso.

    This is the best game ever. And more you play it, more you love it.
    To those, who compare RDR2 to Assassin creed. This is ridiculous. Did you hear voice acting in Origins? If you can’t tell **** from diamond, you have troubles in your head.

    +4 for graphics alone, this is the most points I'd ever give graphics on their own (note I am playing in 2k)
    +1 for decent, but not stellar gameplay
    +1 for the size of, and detail put into the open world
    +1 for the survival aspects
    -1 for quite a few bugs
    -1 for drops in frame rate that are honestly more common than I'd expect on my PS4 Pro. There's gotta be some optimization issues
    -1 for lack of diversity in gameplay
    -1 for having this huge world without filling it to the brim with side quests, easter eggs, random things to do even if not for a quest, etc etc. In other words, a massive opportunity missed here to extend the replayability.
    -1 For having auto aim/aim assists and slow mode aiming

    After 14 hours I am left with mixed feelings about this game. It is definitely an above average game, and the graphics are top notch and the game world seems very well crafted. However, especially after the delays I definitely expected a lot more. The story is slow, but that doesn't bother me. However, the gameplay itself lacks diversity and much of the time you feel that you are just doing the same thing over and over. What this does is turn what is a slow, but great story into a tedious one that you just wish would hurry up... because you know that you are only going to see some slightly new stuff from time-to-time. Another issue I have with this is that in most aspects it has not improved on the first game in the series. It feels almost like a massive DLC than a new game. This isn't always a bad thing, but in the case of RDR2 I feel like the developers put all of their eggs in one basket (graphics and game world) and pretty much just winged it for the rest, or rushed through it. What I will say is that I do like the survival aspects in the game, and wish they were even more robust. The combat is standard run-of-the-mill, but not bad... just nothing special and no real skill required for it. Two huge negatives to the combat is this game has auto aim functionality so you don't have to actually aim (thankfully you can turn it off), and it has slow mode allowing you to slow down time for an advantage. Completely lame garbage "features" and I wish these would get taken out of all games, even MMO's. I've run into a good amount of bugs. Some of the bugs from RDR 1 I tested and a few still exist. Meanwhile some new bugs have popped up. I've noticed a few of the AI doing a weird sliding through mid air. Another example of one of these bugs is I shot one of the AI and they just froze in place, meanwhile they were also not injured or killed by the bullet. You will especially notice bugs during the train heist. One more bug I'd like to mention is that while riding a course your character gets stuck in the holstering animation sometimes, and he can't stop pulling his gun out and back in. The sounds are definitely pretty good and I think the music is very immersive.

    I bought mine for $60. Was it worth this price? Definitely not, in fact I am feeling buyer's remorse. I'd say it's something closer to a $40 game.

    People who give this game a 10 have low standards, and people who give this game a 0 are simply trolls. It's definitely an above average game, and it might even be technically "game of the year," but that's not really saying much in 2018. And it's definitely not deserving of any ratings below a 5. I could see someone giving this game a 5 in some circumstances. But 0's? 1's? 2's? Definitely not.

    So I think 6 out of 10 is a pretty accurate score for this game.    … Expand

No ADS makes first person feel dated-though it is at least much less laggy, hence more playable than GTA V: Remastered. I'm playing with no aim assist and refuse to use DeadEye, and it's fine. The cover system is sticky and hasn't been improved at-all since GTA V, when again, FarCry, Battlefield, Star Citizen, COD, Wildlands, MoH, Alien Isolation and Cyberpunk have all gone for vastly superior "soft" cover. 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

The sense of immersion is immense due to the amazing graphics for the landscapes; the better physics includes things like making imprints in snow and mud and water waving when you move through it; the new customisation means you can give your cattleman revolver a longer barrel, better sights, a pearl handle, a gold cylinder, a black metal barrel and an engraving of a snake if you want. Some of the added complexity makes you have to take care of your horse better so you will be feeding it, patting it to reassure it, giving it horse medicine and even **** brushing it. I’m not sure if horse stuff will get tedious or turn us all into horse loving psychopaths. I mean you had horse medicine and stuff in the first game but it was just like take these horse pills and you get 30s or whatever of your stamina not running out so you can smack the go faster button in a race; now it’s all like a SYSTEM.
    Hunting now involves going into deadeye mode, following trails and looking at clues that can be **** or disturbed twigs and if you use the wrong weapon on prey it will **** the meat up like a shotgun on rabbits say.
    When you get a cougar pelt it doesn’t just go into some bottomless inventory you have to physically put it on the back of your horse and pelts can go bad if you don’t sell them. Speaking of that you now keep your extra weapons on your horse so you have to go back to your horse to change weapons, you always have your revolver knife and rope though.
    It’s all just more realistic, immersive and epic.
    Oh I can confirm you’ll never have to go into first person view if you don’t want to and the game feels more natural in third person, although first person is more immersive. I don’t think I could play the whole game in first person I would miss stuff, get stuck on things and fall off cliffs. Oh and if your horse dies it’s dead and you have to go and buy a new one and start from scratch with your horse bond which is a real stat. You can have multiple horses kept at the stable and you can name them.
    One slightly weird thing though is the story missions, I mean the graphics are great, the story is great etc. but it all feels very scripted. I think maybe it feels more scripted than it would to me because I tend to do what NPC’s tell me to do because I’m scared of failing the mission and having to restart it. There’s also those things you get where it’s like “press x to (something)” which is a like a mini sequence in a story mission that will never happen again where you follow button prompts to accomplish the plot thing.

    On the whole though you can really see that they spent a **** load of money and time making and polishing this game and the end result could conceivably be called a masterpiece.    … Expand

    I will be completely honest. The game is obviously well made and is by no means bad... But where is the line between fun and frustrating?

    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]
