    Honestly, really disappointed with this, it seems like GTA V was Rockstars last hurrah. This game doesnt improve on GTA V, not even graphically.

    I am sure that the game will be released on the PC, you just have to wait. Rockstar as usual made a masterpiece, nothing more to say.

    Well, I haven't played this game. I won't play it for like another month. But I will give it a 10, because User Scores can't be trusted these days.

    I'm reading lots of burnt dudes who play on PC and that are angry because game didn't come out for PC and they gave it a 0. (HAHAHA BURN CRYBABIES!!!!) Second of all, i'm reading a lot of guys who gave it a 0 because there aren't any

    Second of all, i'm reading a lot of guys who gave it a 0 because there aren't any turtles in the game? Seriously??? Grow Up!

    And third, a lot of 0's because game does not run 60 FPS 4K. I'm just gonna say that i'm losing my faith in humanity.

    So, if these guys can give a game a 0 without even playing the game, and crying about turtles, and for not being patient with technology, I can give it a 10 just because. Cheers :)

    P.S. ПКшники совсем конченные, накручивают отрицательные отзывы. Нужно придумать систему оценок таким образом, чтобы требовалось подтверждение факта владения игрой, прежде чем можно было ставить оценку и писать отзыв.

    This is the first game that has brought back the feeling of discovering gaming when I was a child loading up a Sierra game for the first time on my dad's Atari computer.

    The attention to details is unparalleled. Red Dead Redemption 2 sets a new standard for the next generation of games and it sets the bar extremely high.

    The game will also reward you for your knowledge of the western movie genre, with the beautiful replicate of "Once Upon a Time in the West" train interior, to scenes, dialogues and acting reminiscent of other Sergio Leone's movies as well as the more recent Tarantino movie.

    This is a game that has been extremely polished, it is gigantic and detailed. The graphics are leaps beyond Grand Theft Auto V, which is incredible considering it runs on the same hardware at an even more fluid framerate. The animations are just as incredible as well as the collision detection. There is much to do here.

    There is a lot of story here and just like an old western epic tale, it starts slowly, introducing all the characters. By the time the first chapter is over you will already know the names of all of them.

    This game is a gem, something no serious gamer can afford to avoid. Some not familiar with Grand Theft Auto controls may find them a bit difficult at first, but it all make sense once you are used to them.

    It is astounding that this game is as perfect as it is and that there is still so much more to come, commencing with a complete multiplayer mode next month.

    Rockstar have just taken the crown of video game developers. They have a product here that could well redefine the quality of the games we get from other companies in the future. I strongly believe that we must support companies that are willing to spend so much time on a single title, as if the exercise would be a failure financially it could jeopardize the development of future games of that magnitude and quality.

    Peace.

    As a PC gamer, I'm giving it a 10 to balance the 0 from other, whining, PC gamers guys who are just giving 0 for no reason at all. If it comes to PC it will come, if not maybe I'll buy a console.
    GTA V was worth buying for PC even so long after console release, and with treats (better graphics, mods, etc.)
    "But the first one didn't come to PC..." - other times other view on the PC

    Let me just begin with saying that the level of detail and attention put into this game is mindblowing. I absolutely love the immersion level of this game. They've done it in a way that it just doesn't undermine the gameplay and make it boring.

    Characters and story are fantastic and a worthy (technically a prequel) to RDR1. The music is amazing and voice acting for the majority of time

    This is a massive game that truly transports its players to a different time and different world. Honestly this game is nothing short of a western masterpiece. Hats off to you Rockstar.

    Upmost quality in a video game I've ever seen. The new benchmark of open-world games.

    Preliminary rating to offset the butt-hurt madness. Humorous pedantic whiners, for sure.

    Only about an hour and a half in and the level of detail in this world is insane. Rockstar is in their own league, only games that stand close in my opinion (in both gameplay and detail) are Uncharted, Horizon and more recently Spiderman.

    It's been eight years since Red Dead Redemption, and you can tell that Rockstar has spent a lot of that time on this game. The polish on this game is

    It's been eight years since Red Dead Redemption, and you can tell that Rockstar has spent a lot of that time on this game. The polish on this game is unlike any other so far. And to run the way it does on an original PS4 is a feat. So far it's perfect.

    Note about bad reviews - seems like PC gamers are spamming with negative reviews thinking that R* will all of a sudden port this to PC. I love my PC, and I love buying R* games over and over - I did it with GTA V - bought it on X360, PS4 and then PC. I would do the same with Red Dead 2 - and we may see something like that again. Rockstar is smart when it comes to making money, but I wouldn't wait. If you have a PS4 I'd pick this up now and then play it all over again if it comes to PC.

    8 years of development really do pay off in what many will consider game of the year. From incredible storytelling to an equally incredible, well realized world, Red Dead Redemption 2 is well worth the wait.

Rockstar should have done a better job at saying NO online play until way later,,,, but they are i the business of making money, and by admitting the truth, that would not have money in their bank accounts.

    I am so sad that so many PC haters show up just to bring this console exclusive down and give 0 ratings. Many of them literally state that it's for the exclusivity or 30 fps. It's too early to give proper ratings, but I just have to oppose those as**oles. 5 hrs into the game and it feels and looks great so far.

    This game is bland, generic and offers nothing new to the genre. It had the potential to be a great game, but ended up with as much substance as a coleslaw.

    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]
