    Story mode was great, attention to detail is the best I’ve seen in a game. However, controls and mechanics in this game is really annoying. The controls really felt clunky especially in some tight fighting scenarios, it was really frustrating. One example is when I was walking in town, I suddenly kicked a dog because my character wanted to do extra steps after I released the run button. I ended up getting wanted for “animal abuse”, got gunned down, and of course my manual save was 2 hours ago, autosave was after I got “resurrected”. Which brings me to the point of some annoying mechanics. I lost my horse which cost me 1400dollars, because some sneaky bounty hunters decided to jump me, I died and my horse died apparently, I respawned, but for some reason my horse didn’t respawn?!? I was left with some random horse, and again my manual save was long ago.

    All in all, a game I would recommend to complete the story, manual save often and have patience with the controls.    … Expand

    It's not a fun game. It's a slow movie. The experience of playing the game is remarkably similar to the experience of watching walk-though videos on Youtube while holding a controller.

    It has it's moments sure, but it also has hours of sometimes tedious game-play that is simply not enjoyable at times. It took me a long time to settle into this game. Like 8 to 10 hours long before I felt like I knew what I was doing and the systems made sense to me. The camera and controls somehow feel slow in today's world. This game has a lengthy and frankly boring tutorial, yet I still felt very bewildered in regards to controls and game mechanics for hours into the game. Did Rockstar intentionally make these things different just to be different or new?

    Nothing here feels intuitive to me, and I've been gaming for decades. I've played every big title in the recent memory, including the very biggest and most complicated titles, also dozens upon dozens of other games, and this one is throwing me off somehow. Somehow the menus feel weird and don't make sense. Figuring out how a game all fits together should not be this much of an obstacle.

    I don't know why, but for no good reason that I can discern, this game feels slightly alien to play.    … Expand

    I was a fan of RDR and RDR2 simply improved on that in so many ways. I've already spent many hours on the game and only just scratched the surface.

On the same journey I was jumped my the opposing outlaw family and yet again couldn't draw or fire any weapons. The control system is the problem the actual gameplay could be at best described as serviceable. There was an opportunity to elevate this artform to match that of the very best cinema of literature, but the fundamental component of what makes it what it is fell short.

Having said that, the game environments, and character interactions are a bit more detailed than what you'd find in other games. However, as the holy word once said, graphics without gameplay is dead. Most of this game is spent riding a horse listening to some character ramble some uninteresting and poorly written exposition while you wait for the chance to actually do something that amounts to more than just pressing a button and watching the character go through some drawn out animation to do something mundane. Even after fast travel is unlocked, much of the time during missions is spent riding a horse while someone rambles some boring nonsense. When you finally happen upon those rare instances where you get to play the game part of the game, you realize it has the depth and detail of an Atari game because they didn't bother to give those parts of the game any attention at all. It's uncreative and lacking of anything beyond the very basic mechanics necessary to make a game and said mechanics have no polish at all.

    This game is like decorative food. It has very little substance, if any, but it's incredibly ornate with plenty of detail. It's a waste of your time at best and there is not one hypothetical person I could, in good conscience, recommend this game to.    … Expand

    Red Dead Redemption 2 is arguably the best video game this generation. It raises the video game medium to new heights. The graphics are better than any other video game thus far and constantly impresses every moment of the game. The draw distance is incredible and never falters with any pop in textures.

It's also amazing that there is never any loading when entering new areas. The attention to detail is staggering and mind blowing. The immersion is incredible and is one of the best representations of the time period in comparison to any other medium. The game is so realistic and historically accurate that it doesn't feel like a typical video game. It feels more like a digital recreation of the time period. The voice acting, written dialogue, sound effects, and music are all top notch and amazing with surround sound. There is a very impressive amount of gameplay systems and they are all very well thought out and work seamlessly together. The controls are also excellent once you get used to them. The gameplay is the standard Rockstar games gameplay and nothing revolutionary but because the gameplay is so tied into helping you feel immersed into the game, it still feels satisfying. The game is packed so full of content, it's mind blowing. The only major con about the game is that it has a really slow start and in general the pace is very slow. It's very relaxing to play and you can lose hours into the game, but for others who want something more action packed within the minute to minute gameplay, it could get boring. It's also a very long game, so there is a significant amount of investing, one has to do to get the full experience. You definitely get your money's worth though with this game. I'm glad to see more realistic and mature games like this one in the video game industry and hope that it can bring in more similar experiences and also help the hobby be taken more seriously as an art form the way movies and books are seen.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Every aspect of this game is slightly broken. The inventory rearranges itself while selling items, the auto-aim focuses on random objects sometimes, ammo in inventory disappears randomly, quests don't get removed from the quest log on completion and the horse falls down regularly.

    The game has no quality of life functionality. There is no way to sort the inventory or rearrange items.

    Rockstar also broke the first rule of RPG design, which is to never strip a player of their progression permanently. In the story you will come to a point where most of your items are removed for the sake of cheap emotional thrills. There are a lot of creative avenues they could have followed to reintroduce these items and money while maintaining the story, but they didn't bother, which lead to feeling that I wasted my time in a game that at times was heavily focused on collecting items.

    This game has great potential but is marred by an incomplete release and bugs. Rockstar tried to deliver the bare minimum in a beautiful package and it shows.    … Expand

Começando as partes negativas do jogo, temos um começo extremamente entediante (mas entediante mesmo, tanto que eu fiquei com sono nas duas primeiras vezes que joguei e desliguei o PS4 pra dormir). Outro ponto negativo são os comandos um pouco complexos e facilmente esquecíveis, além do gerenciamento de diversas coisas. Embora na teoria fique incrível você ter que mudar de roupa dependendo do clima, alimentar o personagem e seu cavalo de acordo com o tempo, manter um nível de saúde de acordo com o peso e coisas do tipo, isso na prática fica bastante chato. Claro que com o tempo o jogador pode pegar as manhas, mas isso à princípio é bem incômodo. Um terceiro ponto que deixou a desejar e que vou "agregar" com um quarto ponto é o HUD e a mistura de legendas com instruções. A barra de energia é pequena e bem esquisita, temos a explicação de como funciona, mas o jogo segue enquanto as instruções são dadas e o jogador fica meio "perdido" entre ler as instruções e as legendas pra tentar entender a história do jogo. Nesse ponto, uma dublagem faz uma falta absurda. Um último ponto negativo, pelo menos pra nós brasileiros é o preço. R$ 250 nesse game que, pelo menos até onde eu joguei, dá pra se pensar se valeu a pena. Mas como nem tudo são espinhos no RDR2, os gráficos estão de encher os olhos. A vida silvestre está muito bem feita e é muito interessante ver os animais por perto enquanto andamos à cavalo. Outra coisa que está muito bem encaixada no jogo é sua trilha sonora, seja em ação ou em momentos mais tranquilos, a trilha sonora coloca o jogador no clima. E o que dizer da música que toca quando saímos da região de neve?! Que música! Um outro ponto positivo (que está mais pra um bônus do que um ponto positivo em si) é pra quem adquiriu o jogo em disco, ganhar um mapa da região do jogo. Enfim, o jogo começa bastante sem graça e depois ele fica mais animado. Com certeza ele será indicado ao GOTY 2018, mas no meu ponto de vista, se dependesse apenas da campanha (pois ainda vem um online e talvez esse seja o ponto forte do jogo), não venceria como jogo do ano.… Expand

Then there's the controls. Holy crap, how did this pass QA? These are seriously the worst controls I've seen since Superman 64. Rockstar should be humiliated by this. Finally, I can't stand any of the characters. Seriously, I've never before hated the entire cast of a video game, maybe it gets better in the 2nd half of the game but unless that involves the death of every major character and an entirely new cast around the halfway point then no thanks. I can't remember ever dreading playing a game before, it seems like others really enjoy this game and that's great but for me this is one of the worst games I've ever played; I'd rather reorganize my garage than play this game again. On a positive note it's relatively pretty.… Expand

    My real issue with the game is the online. I feel like it is no coincidence that the online was not available at release so the game can be rated on single player alone. I've spent a significant amount of time online now and the best way to describe the experience is probably simply 'bad' or 'not fun'. This is not because i'm bad at it, if anything i think the showdowns are too easy... You point in someone's general direction, you look slightly up to focus on their head, you wait a second for the accuracy and you shoot, rinse and repeat. It feels like they have not adapted the game for multiplayer, they took the single player and copy pasted everything to online, however, this doesn't work. Once you do that, the problems that existed in single player get amplified and there are tons of new problems that come from not properly adjusting the gameplay to be suitable for online.

    The progression online is slow, too slow, the idea that ammo is shared between showdown and free roam just forces you to spent your cash on ammo, everything else is too expensive for the payout that you get and if they're slightly cheaper, they don't feel like they're worth it. I have to admit that the co-operative missions are the most fun you can have online but traversing the map feels like a chore. There have been numerous bugs and glitches that I have come across and the terrain feels restrictive, the smallest of hills forces you to go around for miles because you can't climb it. Deaths feel too quick and the cover system fails a lot of the times plus there's hardly any cover usually... In comparison, GTA online had a few of these issues too but the game was leagues more fun than Red Dead, the modernised feel works with that type of online whereas Red Dead is held back by it. Driving a car to your destination is a lot more fun than tapping a button over and over until your horse runs out of stamina in vast wilderness where there's hardly any people or anything else to distract you from the fact that you're just tapping a button for minutes on end.

    Overall, the online experience simply does not work in my opinion, the free roam, showdown, not even the free roam events, the co-op missions is what is done right in online but they're few and far between. The game lacks fun and feels like everything is done to force your hand to spend money.    … Expand

Whether it be on the PS4 or XBOX One, you're in for a visual treat in this expansive game with great audio and a brilliant soundtrack. I also love how intricate the features are such as being careful when running downhill as a single trip and fall could seriously injure you or kill you and the game has you nurturing your bond with your horse as you carefully explore the huge landscape trying not to accidentally injure or kill it all the while keeping yourself, your camp and your horse clean, well fed and staying in good health.

    It's all wonderfuly oldschool where it demands patience from you so you can really appreciate this wonderfully realized world, it's slow paced but held together with deep and well done mechanics where every action feels meaningful and weighty. The attention to detail in absolutely everything will astound you and the atmosphere in this game will stay with you forever.

    My only negative so far is that we had to wait for so long for this kind of gaming experience, RDR2 is a whole new type of open world game which only very few devs can deliver. It will be very interesting to see how Cyberpunk 2077 holds up after experiencing RDR2.

    Just imagine all the best westerns you've ever seen such as Once Upon a Time in the West, Tombstone, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Unforgiven, Appaloosa, Open Range, The Hateful Eight, Blackthorn, 3:10 to Yuma, True Grit, A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More etc and you've summed up what you're getting with RDR2.    … Expand

There is no skill involved either, you press auto-aim then fire in combat, that's it- often I had something blocking the way too, between my gun and the enemy, forcing me to move from cover. I was too bored to be in any way immersed in the story, didn't catch my attention at all.

    All in all, a mind numbing experience beginning with a very slow 2 hour intro/tutorial- (I was already thinking I could never replay it at that point).

    Starts out well (RDR 1 is my favorite game of all time). But this one degenerates into unrelenting tedium. By the end, no spoilers, I was deliberately skipping ahead in missions. The time it takes to travel, plus the repetitive encounters and banal dialogue, made this game excruciating. I'm still not done at 95% and I want to die.

    In fact it's not something that's going to grip you from the start, it's not fast paced, it's more deliberate, it's more intentional and it's something I've come to respect. When first started playing the game, I wasn't blown away by the story, it was okay, and a bit slow, but then something happened. I played more and more and more and more, and the biggest if not the best thing about this game among other things, is the worlds ability to make you feel really apart of it.

    You are not a player that's in control of this world, you are a player apart of it, and in some cases you even submit to it. I love playing this game, i love the interaction and it's the best game I've played since The Last of Us came out 6 years ago.

    Like I wrote in the beginning, this game isn't for everyone, but if you enjoy, a good and solid western, you will most likely really enjoy this game. And even if you don't it is still something you should at least experience once, because this my friends, has never been done like this before.

It's definitely not for everyone, but if you played the first game and were invested in the characters this game turns the writing, storytelling, drama etc. up to 11. This combined with the insane visuals and cinematography in cut-scenes meant that much of the time while playing this game I genuinely felt like I was watching a western movie.

    This is NOT a game you get if you want to play a fun action game. This is a game you get if you want to genuinely be immersed into a wild west experience. It's definitely not so focused on realism that it becomes unfun but it is much different than any Rockstar game I've ever played and is actually fairly comparable to a less clunky Kingdom Come Deliverance in terms of mechanics and the general feeling of the world.

    Also, the world is insanely huge, the story so far is fantastic and engaging, and the epilogue is supposed to be revelatory (but I don't know what happens yet). If you enjoy slow, methodical, well-paced games that are more focused on atmosphere and experience than constant explosions and firefights this is for you.    … Expand

This time you make a good bond with all of the outlaws in the gang and story fellows them perfectly. The game makes you interact with your fellow gang members, look after your camp, make decisions in and out of missions (They actually shape your character), look after your horse and whole lot more. I like how get change in out of different types of clothes instead of using only outfits. You can also work on your personal grooming too. There so much to get involved in this game. it's a true masterpiece, improves at lot of gameplay mechanics from it's predecessor, it's worth $60 and I'd say it's definitely game of the year material and I don't say these quite often.

    I got two options for you. Wait until there's a possible PC release or buy a PS4 or Xbox one to get RDR 2. If you already have one of those, get the game for it.

There's too much frustrating and superfluous detail which does nothing but stand in the way of the fun. The horse system is stupid. There's a crafting system that requires combinations of animal pelts but nowhere to store anything even though you have a large camp. So I ended up just selling my hard hunted perfect skins because I needed room... so I don't even know how the crafting of some high end kit would be even possible. The horse steals back all your rifles every time you sit on it so you always end up in fights with the wrong weapons in hand and if you try to sort out your weapons every time you get back on the horse (which is advisable) you end up pulling out a gun in an area where you shouldn't because it's impossible to even look at a weapon without it then being drawn. You push one button to draw a weapon but then you need another button press to raise the weapon and then another to actually open fire... at which point you realise that the horse stole back your guns and the reason your not firing back is that you're unarmed!
    This control scheme is obviously being kept so as to link with GTA 5 and allow players to go from one to another more smoothly. There's no way this scheme would ever have been chosen otherwise because it's simple unusable. There's even some things that are only comfortably achieved if you have three hands.
    I have struggled through about 20 hours now and have always ended my session in a rage quit because I'm always failing mission s or dying due to the game's overly complex system. In one case the horse stopped in front of a door I needed to go through. The horse will not move for you! So I placed the injured man I was rescuing on the ground so I could get back on the horse to move it away and suddenly the guy dies. Not only was this a mission fail but also for no reason everyone in town immediately assumed I had killed him and went for the lawmen. Not very realistic.
    Red Dead 2 is too busy wowing us with how detailed it is to remember that the gamer is looking for some fun and escapism... but here I am just waiting to make a hundred bullets one by one, each with animation. Or waiting for my horse, or waiting to get from A to B because the hopeless fast travel doesn't even do properly the little it tries to. Everything is waiting and waiting... and then even more waiting.
    This is a cowboy simulator not a game.
    My score was a 2 out of 10 due mainly to complete disappointment.
    It's like finding the perfect restaurant, being served amazing food and then being told you have to eat blindfolded while wearing boxing gloves... you will be annoyed, especially when everyone else is getting their control systems right.

    It truly is a beautiful game both technically and artistically. But on the other hand, the gameplay is plain boring. I wouldn't call it a game, I'd call it an art demo or simulator. If you like exploring and tedious travelling, sure this is for you, bot if not I would not recommend it.

    It's really fascinating to read review.

Even though, there's many video who did runs on the game and it's a constant 30 fps with 0 dips. Overall, like every popular group, You got 1 group who    It's really fascinating to read review.

    Overall, like every popular group, You got 1 group who will kiss everything bout the game, and the other who will give it a 0/10 because the first 5 minutes weren't good.

    I think it's 8/10, after 10 hours, it has a lot to do but my god, riding that horse from end to the other for each quest, gets a bit annoying. Took me 20 minutes to get one quest done because the horse ride was so far. Once in a while that would be great, but constantly just add time to gaming that we simply don't have today.

    The graphics are incredible, the best I've seen on console this generation. The only other game that compare is horizon zero dawn and god of war. Sadly, graphics aren't everything and the giant maps with nothing to do for 5 - 10 minutes at a time, that's just straight painful.

    I'll review it again and delete this one if it changes by 50 - 60 hours but if you are rating the game a 0/10, not only are you a **** reviewer, you should get your account revoke. Metacritic really need to clear that stuff up, it was the same with Zelda. You have a bunch of no life who watch a few minute on twitch (that's very clear from the 0/10) and comment right after. Many of you didn't even play nor really tried. Especially, the 10 or so review about how PC runs poorly.    … Expand

The weapon selection menu makes me most upset, but after a while you do not get it.

    Go and buy it. Because this game has everything, it's a treasure.

    I had to make a registration here:) 5

    edit:
    I read how the game is slow, how long it takes, how long it takes to loot, etc. RDR2 is all done great. Only the developers of other games are constantly reducing the demands on players because today's player just wants to quickly consume stupid entertainment. RDR2 is for real players.

The stream was on the border of the northern edge of the Blackwater province where you are wanted dead or alive and I had unwittingly crossed over to lasso the carcass our of the stream, I got an alert so no problem, I'll just quick get the pelt and high tail it. Well, didn't happen. Somehow a team of 5 or so marshalls was on me in a flash and I'm armed with hunting weapons, varment rifle and bow. No cover at the stream so my pistol wasn't enough, I died. No probs right? Just $10 or so penalty.....And about 20 perfect pelts stored on my horse............And the auto save fires immediately after death........Totally unforgivable.

    Rockstar is very difficult to surprise the audience: the games of this company have a stable quality. And the quality is so high that every time you think unwittingly: they say, the next time the developers just somewhere so wrong. However, the company does not give up. Red Dead Redemption 2 was an exceptional Western, though not perfect.

    When realism gone too far.
    You have to take care of way too many things, you normaly find in one of the 100 survival games.
    I wanna play a videogame, not babysit my shar.
    But on the plus side, the graphics are really good and the gunplay feels meaty... if you find something where you have to use a gun.

    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]
