    This is the greatest game I've ever played and in my opinion the greatest game ever made, don't listen to the negative reviews, they're either salty PC players or Fortnite/COD players who can't appreciate what a real game looks like.

    Any score for this game less than an 8 is laughable. It is an absolutely stunning achievement in video game design, and currently represents the pinnacle of what an open world adventure can be. Controls took me about three solid days of playing to become totally comfortable with, and once that happened, any time I play, I am not here. I am there. Total immersion.

    Any score for this game less than an 8 is laughable. It is an absolutely stunning achievement in video game design, and currently represents the pinnacle of what an open world adventure can be. Controls took me about three solid days of playing to become totally comfortable with, and once that happened, any time I play, I am not here. I am there. Total immersion.

    Graphics and design are unparalleled. This sets the bar. I didn't even know my PS4 could do what this game manages and it has all but ruined every other open world game I own (sorry Skyrim, sorry Witcher 3).

    Gameplay is as varied as any Rockstar game. In this one respect, it is GTAV on horses, it is Red Dead Redemption on ultra-steroids. Play poker, go fishing, chill by a campfire telling stories, rob a stagecoach, go hunting, watch a variety show, wander the countryside, whatever. If you see it you can go there but good luck getting there without being interrupted by a half-dozen side quests. The main quest is compelling and full of solid characters played by solid actors.
    Even though it sets the new bar, it's not perfect. I got frustrated (particularly in the early game) by how little personal agency I actually had. When it comes to the main quests and side quests, you are essentially on rails, doing what the game wants you to do (rather than what you want to do). It's impossible to play a totally "good" guy, and it's likewise impossible to play a totally "bad" guy. RDR2 makes you straddle that gap and ultimately always pushes you in the direction it wants for each event. But I came to accept that limitation, it's a small price to pay for the wonder of the world it lets you play in. Controls are also not immediately intuitive, there's a fairly steep learning curve, and eventually you learn that changing weapons or outfits on the fly isn't quite as easy as it should be - sometimes you leave stuff on your horse that you need, sometimes while flipping through the radials you hit the wrong thing - it's a little on the cumbersome side, and every button on the controller is used with both short and long-presses which adds to the initial confusion. Once you get it, though, and it starts to become second-nature, it's hard to imagine any other way they could have done it. A final thing to gripe about is just how often you are interrupted when you're trying to either do something else or just chill out. There's almost always someone coming up to you asking you to do something and if you engage them, you're suddenly back on your horse heading halfway across the map again. A lot of people find travel tedious, I don't, so I can forgive this, but it has caused me more than a few frustrating moments in the game where I was pulled away from what I really wanted to be doing. Combined with the 'on-rails' feeling of quests, there's very little actual player agency beyond making your guy look the way you want, and choosing between somewhat arbitrary "be a cool guy or be a dick" options throughout the game. I dock it a point for these things.
    But that's a hard point to dock, because this may be the greatest video game ever made, to-date. It's a huge, living, organic, nearly photorealistic world and a total dream-come-true for fans of the western genre. Your move, Bethesda. If they can make their next open fantasy world feel truly -this- alive, I will be in heaven. For now I'll do my business with a rifle.

    There is so much on offer in this game and so much to do. The fact that I am happy spending time doing 'camp chores' really hits home how invested I am becoming in the game. I'm about 50 hours in and slowed right down on the missions. Halfway through chapter 2. The game is gorgeous and if you get bored of one activity then do something else. So much to choose from.

As far as combat is concerned it doesn't have the ease of games like Uncharted or COD etc but it's not a run and gun. It's all about keeping your deadeye topped up and thinking tactically.

This is completely overshadowing story in my mind. On top of that there are outdated mechanics - 5 years ago it was cool, but now openworld games had moved. Bad fast travel, bad autotravel, sometimes traveling for dozens of minutes in a courier missions. Bad shooting mechanics - it got worst from GTA V if you can believe it. Still - game is very much worth playing, just has some annoyances that can take away lot of fun.

The world and the variety of activities you can do is vast and beautifully executed, and the storyline quests are interesting and satisfying. Unfortunately the game does require you to complete activities as the gang and working with NPC's can be a chore, this is where the original game is marginally superior in that it was a solo adventure. The framerate also suffers a hitch here and there but does not detract from the overall experience. The characters in the game are memorable and there are some nice links to the original game in this one (being a prequel) for example you can visit the original Blackwater, Armadillo and Thieves Landing which is quite nostalgic and well remastered. If you enjoy exploration and collectables there are many interesting hidden items and a complete compendium of animals, fauna, weapons, gangs etc. to reveal and study. It is easy to be carried away simply looking for some of these items to discover what perks (if any) they unlock. The controls are complicated to get to grips with, and can lead to some frustrating deaths in the heat of a shootout. Some of the games mechanics can also seem complex, such as the inventory management which is not terribly well explained. Overall this game is a gorgeous and worthy successor to the original game, and will provide many hours of your life lost to simple distractions and side missions. Great job yet again Rockstar. Expand

There are things that should be options for the player to choose, such as if you keep the guns on you at all times or not, to skip the bathing thing or not, aiming options should be way more accessible and not buried within menus. There are glitches that have caused me to get wanted while not being in the area or having my guns vanish when i load into my game for the first time that day. Despite this and the complaints saying they dont want to have to eat or hate riding their horse, its a good game, its the wild west, what did you expect to ride? Duels are not at all explained so be careful when entering one, your horse can die easily if you dont take care of it, and dont trust your bandanna to keep your identity safe, wear the full head mask if you can. Animal conditions are not explained at all and sometimes feel like they are stacked against you as even the best shot may not yield a good pelt. A bit repetitive but this does feel immersive, the upkeep is annoying but it adds to the atmosphere. I got this game and spiderman within a week of each-other and i have to say that i am enjoying Red Dead Redemption 2 way more, the graphics, game-play and tone all come together to provide an enjoyable experience.

    Obviously some patches are needed and im sure they will come, the online being delayed gives people time to enjoy the single player so dont be put off by the lack of it. Alot of activities and npc's are locked behind missions but traveling the world in chapter 2 will still feel worth while. If you are trying to pick between Spiderman, ACO, and RDR2, go for RDR2.
    (I also own ACO but its basically an origins DLC).

There are plenty of hours you can spend just doing little things that have nothing to do with the main story and I think that is where the beauty lies in this game. I am excited to see what they bring to multiplayer next month and even it is underwhelming I will be glad to have payed for a great single player game.

The world is truly immersive and draws you in straight away, i have spent the entire weekend playing this game and i still feel like i have barley scratched the surface. The best way to play is to take your time and try to experience everything it has to offer. There has been times where i have gone off to complete one side mission etc and spent hours breaking off from the main story just getting side tracked in the world and what it has to offer. i see the game as more of a life simulator where you become Arthur Morgan and in my opinion this is what makes the game great. i love the realism of having to eat, sleep and bath i don't find it boring or a chore as others are suggesting i think it adds to the immersion and makes the game all that much better. looking after your camp and been able to talk and interact with anyone in the game world makes the game feel lived in and alive. The shooting mechanic is great and feels weighted having to cock your gun before you pull the trigger adds a new challenge to combat. This game has been 8 years in the making and it has been well worth the wait, i think Rockstar have topped the bar yet again with Red Dead redemption 2 and set the standard of what an open world game and what a triple A title in general should be. This is easily the game of this generation and is one of my top 3 games of all time. Expand

    I have played for over 50 hours by now and I must say, this is by far one of the best gaming experiences I had in years. As a fan of the original Red Dead and the open world genre, I came into this game with a lot of expectations and I must say, my expectations were still blown away. The game does however have a few cons which I will start with.

    For starters, the game at times feels unresponsive, as if your controls aren't really doing anything, and it can take you out of the immersion for a moment. Second, the survival aspect is a bit of a chore at first but at some point you get used to it and it becomes enjoyable, the only thing that annoys me about it is how quickly the quality of your weapons can degrade, it seems as if your gun can go from perfect condition to nearly broken in just one firefight. Aiming can also sometimes be rather clunky.

    There is one complaint I see a lot and it's that the game is slow, this was done intentionally. The game FEELS like a western, it feels immersive, not fast paced like a modern game such as Grand Theft Auto, I personally love the pace and feel like it fits perfectly. But it's not incredibly slow like some of these reviewers are making it seem to be, it's still a rather fast game.

    Now for the pros.

    This game is a graphical marvel, I have honestly never seen such a good looking open world game on console, every little thing blows me away. The lighting is just perfect and god, I get overwhelmed just thinking about it. Gameplay is also fantastic, despite being clunky sometimes, gun play is awesome and can sometimes make you feel like you're in real danger, fights are realistic and will force you to think things through instead of shooting aimlessly. Horse controls are perfect, every horse is unique and delivers a different experience, the bonding progress is also one I found enjoyable. Exploring whilst on horseback is just great, sometimes you'll find an amazing view and you'll have to stop for a moment and just say wow. And voice acting? I have never seen a game where every single character, including small NPCs have amazing voice acting like this, it blows me away. On the point of voice acting, let me talk about the story.

    The first half of the story is rather slow, you get introduced to the characters but your actions feel like they don't have any heavy toll, however, this does change a lot towards the middle of the story. The second half of chapter 4 is when things really start to pick up and things start going wrong for the gang and all you can do is sit and ask "what's going to happen next???" and force yourself to play more to find out. The way character's change through the story is fantastic, just purely fantastic. An example that shouldn't be too spoilery due to the first Red Dead is Dutch's character. At the start of the game he is a smart, respectable and sensible man, he's an outlaw with a code and at times is a character that you as the player will even look up to. However, a particular event in the middle of the story, we see that change. Dutch becomes violent, he abandons his code, he does things that put the gang at risk for no particular reason, we see Dutch transform into who he is in the original Red Dead, including the whole natives part, we can see how that came intro fruition. He's not the only character that shows a lot of change however. Just to drop a few names of fantastically written characters: Arthur, Dutch, Sadie, Micah, Rev Swanson, Molly (despite her rather small role). I wouldn't say that so far John is the best written character, but his voice acting is fantastic and it feels good to see him again.

    In conclusion, this game is truly something else, and if it weren't for really small technical flaws, this game would be perfect. I can say though that this is now by far my favorite game and definitely deserves GOTY. Well done Rockstar on another amazIng title!

    Getting bounties - They come about far too easily, someone comes riding fast into you and they get hurt, you get the bounty. Whats the point in the mask? It offers no protection. I'm not expecting immunity, but it literally does nothing.
    Having to slow walk around a camp to do anything - Why? Just why
    Weight levels - No need for it. It's trying to be too real. Takes away some of the enjoyment when you have to start dealing with it.
    For me it could easily get a 10 rating. Just whats wrong with it at the moment makes the game tedious to deal with at times.

In general, the plot is so good, but as you play the main story, it will become boring because there are some unnecessary missions, which just delay you (that explains why the campaign is so big). Talking about the aim: I have never seen such a terrible aim. Is so difficult to kill your enemies with the "normal" aim, unless you enabled the aim assist that is so much better. Other detail is the GAMEPLAY: When you are riding a horse you just CAN'T PLAY! Is one of the most terrible gameplay, is so hard to move your horse with precision that sometimes my horse stambles on invisible things. And other thing that is SO annoying is the fact that, in the camp, you just can move slowly. I know some people will say that in real life you would not run on this situation, but the point is the game is not supposed to be like real life. But seriously, the worst thing in the WHOLE game is to take 5 minutes riding a horse to reach a mission on the map that you probably will take 2 or 3 minutes to complete.

    Red Dead Redemption 2 isn't a game that should be taken lightly. This is true in most of Rockstar's long list of games, which often overwhelm the player with their sheer size and mechanical depth. Red Dead Redemption 2, however, stands out as a pinnacle among masterpieces.

    Before I start my wording is going to be all over the place.
    Now lets get straight to the point. This is one of those wonders of a game that will stand the test of time. Pure gold. I have enjoyed many games in my life that have hooked me and been a great experience time after time and many of those being rockstar games. I don't love this game because it is rockstar I love this game because it is straight up the most detailed, well produced game I have ever played. Even when it come to the big giants like GTA V, Fallout 4 and any other massive open world game I have seen I have always been a notorious 'I can't be bothered for the missions' kind of player with a huge push needed to drive on through the game but even when I am hooked on exploring in RDR2 I always find my self drawn to the story and the side challenges also.

    I have never seen detail to such pin point precision. You can feel the emotions from the expressions and fresh, clean cut dialogue from every character and NPC, Every building is unique and doesn't have that re-used assets feel and the fact that every single person has something new to say blows me away to the amount of work rockstar put into this game.

    I see some of those raving on about complex mechanics or things not making sense but no one said the game was going to be easy. The law can seem biased at times but its engaging you get in a fight and flee, the law is rational to your offense so things like being wanted for a fight are easy to evade and I have seen first hand that the others involved are chased by the law too so don't feel bitter about it and yes if you kill someone and someone see's it, its hard to stop the law getting involved. What else would I expect?

    The shops, the stables, the map functions, the stats, the sheer level of immersion this game gives you is more than I could have ever expected. The fact that you can't take as much if you are hungry, tiered or wearing snow-clothes in the hot sun all make it feel more and more real by the second and if you don't believe how detailed this is make Arthur starve and not sleep and see the expression and posture he starts to show. It made me feel worn out just looking at him.

    There's so much in RDR2 I don't feel I could cover it all in a review.

    Its worth the money, Its the best game I've ever enjoyed from the start and anyone who is upset about it being more complex than red dead one may need to consider that red dead was stunning but limited by the 360's and the PS3s capabilities and now we can really feel what it was like for John and the Vanderlind gang like you where there. I can not fault rockstar one bit on this one.

    A massive moment in gaming history.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Red Dead Redemptiom Two is the most detailed, well-crafted and neat game I've ever seen in my entire life. The attention given to the minutiae details that any game would treat as unimportant, here are treated with the same importance of main mission. The characters are captivating, the story is engaging, the world is alive and detailed on an absurd level, all npcs have non-repetitive dialogues that enrich the experience in some way. The various mechanics of the game, do things that are usually considered as just aesthetic, now have a function, such as clothes for cold or heat, beard, hair, dirt on weapons, clothes or horse, all interfere with the gameplay. the game has a slower pace, and this is not a failure but a characteristic that we should adapt. The amount of things to do between missions, keeps us busy, which guarantees a long useful life to the game, activities like poker, dominoes, hunting, fishing, blackjack and the own exploration of the world that hides several easter eggs and fun secrets very. Play calmly, and taking advantage of every moment, if you try to play this game in a hurry, it will NOT WORK.

    Hi everyone, I'm writing this review hence some pc butthurt people cannot stress the fact that it isn't on their master race piece of hardware or they cannot believe a game different from their usual fast pace Call of Duty **** is getting perfect reviews, let me establish once for all this thing, coming from a former internal reviewer at Ubisoft in Bucharest, the game is staggering, if notHi everyone, I'm writing this review hence some pc butthurt people cannot stress the fact that it isn't on their master race piece of hardware or they cannot believe a game different from their usual fast pace Call of Duty **** is getting perfect reviews, let me establish once for all this thing, coming from a former internal reviewer at Ubisoft in Bucharest, the game is staggering, if not 'perfect' nonetheless, let me explain.
    The game is slow and using this as an argument is pretty ignorant on your part, when this is the charm of it, the western times, historically speaking, were slow and tensed, such pace the teams in Kyiv, Montreal etc tried to replicate on Black Flag and I might say they HAD to get it wrong, just because it was 'boring', at the end we failed making a true pirate-ish experience, fearing it was 'too empty'; the fact that Rockstar went a step further and not just making it true to the times, but enforcing this type of gameplay, they had the result of a game that's amazingly immersive and if you disagree, then sorry, it's just not your cup of tea then, but remember, slow pace isn't a flaw, but rather a strong point, especially when in the same review you admit that it's beautiful as a game, so if you would just stop and look at things from time to time, it's a chill, immersive and tensed experience, trust me.
    Now you might be wondering, why I'm saying tensed, oh well, start the game and you'll see that the music, the landscape, the details like your gun being cocked or your gun just stop working, dropping your weapon to pickup a shotgun from your horse, the moment you'll be facing 8 goons at once and trying to intimidate them by shooting in the air, because you're on plain sight with no cover, a simple ambush in the swamp, or a heist of a train, you can see where I'm going, those moments get tensed, because you're so used with the calm pace of the game and immediately you're thrown in a life-death situation, where if you **** up, you're dead. And to be honest, the game isn't empty at all, but that's for you to decide, for me it wasn't up until this point and until now I analyzed just gameplay, I just got into the story and it fits perfectly to the overall idea and scenery of the game. It's a game where you're ACTUALLY LIVING THE WEST LIFE.
    Now let me tackle some arguments:
    1. 'I hate when my horse is too far away' - it's a gameplay mechanic, take care of your horse, and it won't be that much of a problem, it's basically to make it more realistic than the usual Metal Gear 'I'm calling the horse and it randomly spawns from the oblivion' thing.
    2. 'I hate it's not on the PC' - FINALLY I can talk about this, so, basically there are 2 ways of releasing something on consoles and pc, you either program 2 games, which takes longer to do and it takes the focus out from the production of the game OR you do one (either consoles or pc) and then port it to the other hardware, which, for me, it's a terrible idea cause always people will rant about differences and the immense number of bugs the ported one has, or should I recall Batman to prove my point? I respect Rockstar for choosing to focus on the game and then make a separate and working game on the PC, I think Rockstar either will respond to the requests and make a PC version, after they released the online version, or they will just leave it on the consoles, life is life, I owned a 360 and the last of us came out but I didn't make a fuss about it, even though I'm a PC guy, accept the fact that Rockstar intends to focus on the game, rather than selling.
    3. 'It's a chore' - It is for those that don't want to accept realism, this isn't again your average juggernaut suit killing every **** in my way kinda **** this is a lifestyle type of game, if you wanna destroy everything in your path, Rockstar got you covered with GTA, sooo cheers

    Cheers indeed, I wanted to add some more, but to be honest I just wanted to put my counter-argument on display, I'll keep the rest of my opinion to myself, even though the storyline was... astonishing, the reasoning for my vote is the story, attention to detail, the world, the theme and of course the beauty of it all... and also for the fact that I can play poker in-game, well done Rockstar.

    P.S. I'm Romanian, so any type of English brainfart moments, I'm sorry for em, I tried my best :3

Монотонно и скучно играть? Слишком долго перезаряжается? Пустая карта? Имеете право так считать, но я с вами не согласен. Считаю. что RDR II прекрасно передаёт атмосферу неспешного аналогового мира, которой не было в RDR I, и которая, похоже, пришлась по душе не всем. Rockstar рискнули и решили в одиночной кампании сделать ставку на реализм, а для менее усидчивых игроков скоро будет Red Dead Online.

    Diminishing the game score for not having a PC version, voice acting or translating it into your language (for example, Arabic) is as stupid as saying: "I had an assache on the day I bought a game, so I put the game 0 points" . Monotonous and boring to play? Slow recharging and shooting? Empty Map? I'm respect your opinion, but I disagree with you on that. I think. that the RDR II contants the perfect vibe of the unhurried analog world, which was not in the RDR I, and which, it seems, was not liked by everyone. Rockstar took a chance and decided to bet on realism for a single-player campaign, and for more fidget players there will soon be Red Dead Online.

    Disclaimer: I played on Xbox One X and have no clue if there are bigger problems on base systems. (Small spoiler on random events, but no story spoilers)

    So i am here to address problems and hive a true score.
    Problems:
    1.) Gunplay. Have you played GTAV or RDR1. It is basically ripped from both those games. 10 hours is not long enough to really get good using it. It takes a second to really get proficient with it. Also, to the idiots saying there's a delay. You have to pull the trigger again to make Arthur rack another round idiot. Guns haven't always been simi-automatic.
    2.) Not fun. Are you serious??? I mean literally go into town and play poker. Won/lose money. Get mad if you lose shoot the guy in the face and have a standoff with the law. Kinda like GTAV. Only difference if the law isn't gonna chase you at all costs and kill other people to get to you like in GTAV. Also. The beginning is slow. Its called character building. Get your 10 hours of play time out. Come back around 25.
    3.) Empty world. Once again are you daft? There are literally random events that can happen if you just ride around! Granted theres not ine around every corner, but take some time and look. You get chain gang prison escapes, (slight spoiler)kkk meeting that always end hilariously by them killing themselves and random people who need help. Its not empty if you actually look people!
    Those are the main complaints.
    Review: pretty much pros and cons.
    Pros:
    Story, World building, characters, graphics, open world, days of fun, mini-games, hunting
    Neutral:
    Gunplay, gathering resources,(ie ammo and looting, picking herbs, and slow to start, but does pick up.
    Cons:
    Deadeye can make certain fights very easy. Note: Not a bad mechanic, just a tad overpowered. Some story elements are kinda unbelievable, but its a video game so meh, and no Red Dead Online at launch. Kinda sad, but at least we are getting it for free. So my total rating comes in at a 9/10. Not a flawless game, but it is dang close.

    A phenomenal follow-up to one of the best games of the last ten years. The attention to detail is brilliant. The story is a slow burn that ramps up the further you progress.

    Red Dead Redemption 2 is a game that many people will say is one of the greatest games of all time and perhaps one of the only games that people cant find often as a much more refined experience of open world shooter games, for my case I can agree with that statement. Red Dead Redemption 2 offers amazing attention to detail in both story and game-play in which the player can really feelRed Dead Redemption 2 is a game that many people will say is one of the greatest games of all time and perhaps one of the only games that people cant find often as a much more refined experience of open world shooter games, for my case I can agree with that statement. Red Dead Redemption 2 offers amazing attention to detail in both story and game-play in which the player can really feel the amount of effort that was put into the game, nearly everything you do in this game is animated and the amount of realism can really blow your mind from how far Rockstar really went with this game. As much as I love the game as it is right now, and that Red Dead Online hasn't been released yet, I can only talk about the experience i have had so far from playing the game to explore, and playing the game's story components.

    The game in my opinion has some of the best story writing people haven't seen for ages when it comes to AAA game franchises, from people leaving games like Call of Duty or Destiny to finally finding and playing a game that has some story in which it will really leave a memory for you. The game also offers really amazing graphics and a good amount of weapon selection, and the players themselves feel like they have so many different things they can do in the game, leaving endless opportunities to unfold and create their own story outside of the game's own story missions.

    The main issues I have with game (I play on a ps4) are the fact that the game has so many animations for what you do that sometimes they can feel like they are dragging you down from versatility of your own movement. As someone that plays on ps4 I feel I am not the only one having this issue. I cant really say the same for some PC players because they aren't the ones playing on a controller.

    Whenever I try to perform an action, like for example moving a wagon with two horses on it, often times ill see myself struggling to stop the horses even though I spam R1 (which is how you stop them), and often times whenever I do, the horses will eventually get stuck on some rocks somehow, and make them basically unable to move. This is probably just me being completely reckless with what I do however, so take this sentence with a grain of salt for me being retarded as a player. But when it comes to actual movement in the game like I said before, sometimes whenever you perform an action, like taking food and such, the movement will feel very heavy and clunky compared to other games since literally everything you do has an animation, eventually this will result in players like me feeling like that its more of a chore to go loot items or skin animals.

    When it comes to gun-play the weapons in this game are very satisfying and amazing to use that often times you will find yourself too busy indulging in how great the weapons are, but when it comes to the different amount of weapons you can purchase and find, i'm slightly disappointed in what they did with this game. As much as I love the amount of customization you can have with yourself and the guns, the game just felt like there wasn't enough variety with what there was and that most guns feel like weaker re-skins of each other, even though this statement can be gone against with saying that you can customize your weapons to the point where they will feel different, but I feel as myself that even that isn't enough.

    As much as I love this game for the amount of effort put into it, i'll leave a solid 9 for now seeing as that not every game is perfect, but games like these will always have some sort of place in myself, especially that even with some flaws the game has, I myself am having a blast playing it.

    Ich habe die digitale Ultimate Version gekauft, plus beide Outlaw Pässe! Und Rockstar schafft es einfach nicht das das Spiel Fehlerfrei läuft!
    Um es anders auszudrücken: Wenn jmd ein neues Auto kauft, und dann 8 Monate auf einen Fahrersitz warten muss und bekommt eine Apfelsinenkiste, setzen sie sich solange beim Fahren da drauf! Obwohl das Auto komplett bezahlt ist!
    Ich möchte meine Zeit mit dem Spiel verbringen und nicht mit youtube Videos und für dritte durch Klicks Geld generieren!
    Niemand traut sich da an Rockstar ran (!) und wenn man die selber anschreibt, trotz offenen Ticket bekommen man nur eine Antwort: Sie arbeiten dran!
    Wo? Und und vor allen wann? Und wie?
    Was andere Spieler, Youtube angeht, lassen die alles über sich ergehen? Haben die keine Eier in der Hose?
    Ich möchte das Spiel weiter spielen, weil es kein anderes Wild West Spiel auf der Ps4 gibt. Jedoch erbitte ich mir auch Hilfe, wo es zumindest brauchbare Antworten gibt.

    History and gameplay: beautiful and fascinating, nothing to say, was from The Witcher 3, that I did not play such a huge and wonderfully unique title.
    You might not like the sometimes slow pace but you do not find excuses or things that do not make sense, this game is a masterpiece.

    I'm amazed by the vocal "comfort-gamer" reviews. We have thousands upon thousands of brain-dead over simplified games with immersion breaking content going to the roof. If you guys like that sort of stuff, that's fine by me, but stop wasting your time on a game that is decisively not that and then accusing it of being bad/far worse than the reviews suggest.
    Sure you personally might not

    Sure you personally might not like time consuming mechanics that are build around immersion but we had so little of those games over the last 10-15 years that it was more than needed that a tripleA Studio rises to the challenge at least once.
    I don't get how you can hold that against the game when you yourself just made the error of assuming it was something that you would like not actually looking deeper at it.
    If you watched LotR expecting an action packed "Die Hard" in medieval times it wouldn't be the movies fault for you having the wrong expectation.

    This game is an absolute masterpiece that shows how a decelerated approach can get you far greater and more emotional results than just another Assassins Creed or even Horizon Zero Dawn.
    It might not be your cup of tea but Godfather might be neither and no one would argue about the quality of that movie.

    Good effects
    Realistic approach
    Good open world game
    Great control.
    Great game mechanics .

    This game is unlike anything I've ever played. The world is compelling visually and mind-boggling in its details.

But it's not just a gallery to walk through and observe -- you can interact with it in many dynamic and interesting ways, experimenting and trying different approaches to different situations. Some open worlds are filled with content represented by points on a map to explore. I think that's a bad design decision which removes the joy of discovery. Here, visual and audio clues drive exploration, and it's a joy to traverse through the same areas again and again because each time the developers have striven to make it a fresh experience.

    For example, I've traveled to a town called Valentine countless times. Sometimes there's someone being mugged there at night, or gang members will show up, or a preacher will be preaching, or a beggar begging. You can interact with each of these and it never seems to stop. Whether these are dynamic or scripted (and probably a combination of both), doesn't matter to me. Nothing in this world seems to be repeated.

    Many games have countless side quests, and your time with the characters in each one is brief and not that interesting. Here, there are extended side quests where you interact with a single character in a story arc. It's much more compelling.

    In essence, if you like to explore a world AND interact with it, you should get this game.

    The amount of excellent dialogue in this game is crazy, especially with your fellow gang members. I'm constantly surprised when I go back to the camp; the gang seems to be talking about something else, whether I'm listening in or not.

    The world has this feeling of going on without you.

    The game does have a slower pace; there are animations for just about everything. But I actually enjoy the slower pace, and I feel like the game is more tactile and interactive because of it.

    My biggest gripe is that some systems are not explained very well. Just one for example, why do I need to donate supplies to the camp apart from upgrades? Is there some benefit to that? The game needs to teach duels prior to a duel and not during a duel (where you have a super small time window to read the hints on the screen). Why do you have to walk so slowly at camp?

    Sometimes I also feel like there's too much going on. Eating constantly to gain weight is a drag, constantly brushing your horse, maintaining your guns. My OCD nature tells me I'm always forgetting to do something, and there aren't ui warnings for all of these. I feel like especially maintaining weight is superfluous.

    But overall, these do not detract from what's here. It's a very long game, but because it's so engaging, I imagine I'll be playing it for a very long time to get all the extra collectibles and whatnot.

    Graphics 9/10 - On the Ps pro they are great. No doubt better on the One X. Either way a huge step up for a game of this size. Always can be better but some moments will take your breath away.

    Gameplay 8/10- Gunplay is really good. Its always a thrill when you get into a battle. Horse riding is pretty basic, I don't think you can innovate much here, but they do it well enough. General controls are good. Only real issue is picking stuff up in small areas. Lastly the game can be too easy. You can do the missions by staying in cover a lot and using deadeye. Its a shame as I think they should of made it much more challenging.

    Story 9/10 - For me the story is really interesting. A really good feel to it. The pace starts slowly and builds up consistently. I wont spoil anything but a solid story for sure.

    Overall 9/10- This is not a game to be rushed. I took everything at my own pace, taking in the world, exploring , stumbling into random side quests. Its not a game for people that just want action and no travelling as you will spend a lot of time on your horse. But if you have the patience you will find a beautiful world to explore. If any game is worth the £60 tag then its this.

    Don't pay attention to critics who say the controls are clunky and minor details are a chore - controls take time to get used to, but once figured out they become intuitive whereby basic actions like drinking coffee, loading your horse saddle with items, drawing from your saddle when dismounting etc. becomes all second nature to your control of Arthur.

    The atmosphere achieved in this game, made possible by the graphics engine, voice acting, musical score, and sheer level of detail in the open world is unlike anything I have seen before.

    It might be boring for some who want an action based game, but for those who want a deep, atmospheric experience, and who can allow themselves to be patient in learning and reading up the basics will be highly rewarded.

    If you give it a go play with the mobile/tablet app alongside - put the map on this whilst turning on only the compass ingame - creates an even better experience imo.

The one issue I have are the controls being so clunky and trying to shoot people without dead eye or using the wide lock on is very unsmooth. I feel like between the dead eye and lick on combat becomes mundane like highlight your enemy’s and then watch them drop. But if you disable all of those things it’s so clunky and glitchy that you can’t really enjoy the combat at all. If they can fix the combat system it would be an absolute 10 out of 10! Expand

    Red Dead Redemption II es casi perfecto, estableciendo el mínimo exigible a partir de ahora en cuanto a mundos abiertos y sandbox se refiere. 8 años de esfuerzo y dedicación (y quién sabe, quizás horas extra forzadas) dan sus frutos, y estos están maduros y deliciosos.

    A día de hoy, debe de ser del 5% (siendo optimistas) de videojuegos de los que volvería a pagar su precio completo de salida orgulloso una vez terminado, porque lo vale.

    Pocas veces ves una campaña que de verdad dura 40h (mínimo) y con unos estándares de calidad altísimos. De hecho, su epílogo tiene mayor duración que muchos de los juegos que he tenido la oportunidad de jugar.

    Arthur (personalmente) super a Marston en muchos sentidos, aunque también tendremos una buena dosis del bueno de John en esta entrega, así como de muchos otros miembros de la banda. Gráficamente es imponente, sobre todo teniendo en cuenta la absurda magnitud del mapa, la historia está muy bien contada y planteada, el gameplay sigue en las líneas de Rockstar pero tomando mucho en cuenta lo que lograron con Max Payne 3 y una banda sonora que infinidad de juegos soñaría con tener. Recalcar la absurda cantidad de detalles que contiene el juego, simplemente no entra en mi cabeza como es capaz que un juego de estas dimensiones con tal cantidad de pequeños alicientes pueda siquiera ejecutarse en una máquina actual.

    Qué más decir. Al igual que la primera entrega (sin contar Red Dead Revolver), RDR2 es ya un clásico instantáneo, con escenas simplemente brutales que se quedan grabadas en tu memoria, y no te dejan soltar el mando, así como el juego del año y uno de los mejores de la generación sin ninguna duda.

    Morgan pasará al libro de iconos de los videojuegos junto a Marston, y Rockstar recogerá de nuevo premios como lleva haciendo toda su carrera.

    Sin duda, un antes y un después en el ámbito de los sandbox así como mundo abierto, que establecerá las bases como nuevo referente a nivel de calidad. No todo el mundo es Rockstar, y muy pocos serían capaces de lograrlo, así que de momento, están invictos en el género e incluso en la industria.

    Sin duda, imprescindible.

    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. Ya podemos afirmar que Red Dead Redemption 2 ha cumplido las expectativas y no nos cansaremos de cabalgar en un tiempo.

The story is interesting and the world around you feels alive as it reacts and changes to your choices. Bounty missions are more then just riding to the dot and killing everyone and are unique side stories all on their own. You aren't a cowboy terminator carrying 50 different guns on you. You need to prepare food and tonics, maintain your weapons, and survive in this harsh landscape. Your horse won't magically appear wherever you are and you can't store 500lbs of fur and supplies on your horse. You will have to make decisions based on what you really need and I love that feeling. The slow pace isn't boring its just methodical. I really got into the game as I climbed a mountain hunting a retired gunslinger, changed into my winter coat so my health wouldn't lower as the snow fell and took a moment to lite a cigarette to increase my dead eye while i wiped my rifle down with oil. Made sure my horse was fed and considered setting up camp to craft some special ammo in case things went downhill.

    The Bad
    The immense immersion can sometimes be a chore. Crafting items for a specific task is great but doing it one at a time is not as much. The controls in gun combat feel wonky. Lowering the dead space and increasing the aim sensitivity seems to of fixed this issue for me. The Wanted system will probably get a patch as some strange things can cause you to be wanted. The most blaring example is two guys in a fight and one was knocked out. On accident I picked up the knocked out guy and promptly set him down again. This triggered a witness to report me for assault. Its a very sensitive system. The honor system can also be wonky as many users, myself included, have reported killing in self defense triggering a lower honor event and sometimes also a wanted status. The story explains this a little later but at first its seems blatanty contradictory to be an outlaw that reminds people "I'm not a good man" but is constantly trying to raise your honor by doing good deeds and avoiding bad ones.

    Conclusion.
    I would not give this game a 10/10 as the wanted system and honor system both come across as buggy at times and these are important mechanics to the gameplay. The style, story, and detail make up for these occasional issues. The level of detail in the survival aspect feels more like a western outlaw RPG then a Rockstar game. How you feel about that just depends on your taste. If you love immersive RPG's or the red dead series this is a no brain buy. If you're on the fence it might be worth it to wait for a couple more patches to fix the various bugs and possibly rework the wanted and honor system.

    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.
