    A beautiful game in an immersive world. The story line is excellent and the characters up there with the best of video games. With the range of challenges, side missions and special characters I think there is something for everyone.

    despite some mionor bugs and glitches in horseback riding, there is no problem with this game. the main and side missions are absolutely impressive. the dialouges are great and rockstar hide some pretty impresive messages among them. the combat and gunfight are truly amazing but at the start of the game they maybe hard to use but couple of hours in the game and you will love it. thedespite some mionor bugs and glitches in horseback riding, there is no problem with this game. the main and side missions are absolutely impressive. the dialouges are great and rockstar hide some pretty impresive messages among them. the combat and gunfight are truly amazing but at the start of the game they maybe hard to use but couple of hours in the game and you will love it. the graphics are amazing and i think there are no game out there that even come close to RDR2. the only problem i find is that your options to upgrade the functionality of the camp are so limited and you can fully upgrade the camp in little time and most important there is not many things in the game to buy except clothes, guns and ammos. i hope they add buying houses and properties in the online mode.… Expand

They have difference hobby, preference and personality. After GTA4, Witcher 3 and Skyrim, this is the first game among so many other games that I've played in years that make me curios and care about the NPCs around the protagonist. The world is filled with gorgeous places to visit, herbs to pick, animals to hunt, fish for catching, interesting random NPC to encounter, bar to drink and eat, poker to play, treasure to find, people to rob, bounty to collect, and so much more! The town events designs is astonishing! So many interesting things could happened around.

    Graphic : 10/10 (my god, i wonder how many times i stop playing just to admire the view!)
    Sound : 10/10 (as usual Rockstar games sound awesome!)
    Game-play : 10/10 (it's Rockstar, what else do we need to say?)
    Control : 9/10 (force walking in some places -1 point for me, it is OK but annoying)
    Mini-games : 10/10 (i swear to god, the poker and fishing mini-game alone are worth $59.99!)
    NPCs : 10/10 (conversation often contains some joke around. which is nice)
    World : 10/10 (everything feel so unique! hardly see any assets copy n paste like AC series)
    Physics : 9/10 (feel real in my opinion, and is way better than GTA5, some rare glitch -1 point)
    Horse riding: 10/10 (well, it put Witcher 3 horse riding experience to shame!)
    Combat : 10/10 (dead eye system kind of nail it for me!)

    This is not a game! This is a masterpiece! This is an experience that stick in your head for years to come! Rockstar just set a new standard for future open-world video game genre!    … Expand

    Red Dead Redemption 2 is the most confusing game I have ever played, not because of the story, but how it made me feel, allow me to explain.

    On the one hand, critics were giving it glowing praise, easily becoming Game of the Year for some, Game of the Generation for many, and Greatest of All Time for the rest. And on the other hand, consumers were mixed, with some agreeing with critics and others refusing to play after the opening hours. I can't rightfully agree with either camp, as neither is wrong or right. Yes, the game goes leaps and bounds ahead with open world game design in some aspects, but also falls woefully short in even the most basic mechanics.

    To start, movement is absolute crap. While on foot, you can either run or walk, pretty standard for games of this variety, walking is far too slow and running is for too fast. This problem rears its ugly head when in towns, where walking across the street takes the better part of a day, while running will have people stare at you like your a crazy man. But even though walking would have a snail outrun you, walking into or even near an NPC will have you budge them out of the way or (god forbid) knock them over, gaining you an instant wanted level and having everyone else around you run away screaming like you just killed him. In fact, the wanted system causes way more problems than it's worth. Instead of it being like GTA or the previous Red Dead, when you get a bounty, the only way to get rid of it is to pay it off. That doesn't sound like the worst thing in the world, until you realize it really is the only way, even dying to the lawmen won't get rid of it. meaning you are HEAVILY discouraged from doing anything illegal lest you have to pay a lump sum or avoid the county for 2 weeks until they forget about you. While you can serve your sentence in jail, you can only serve the sentence of small crimes such as assault. If you kill a person (intentionally or not) the police will not spare you. Even if someone attacks you in the street and you defend yourself, the police will still try to arrest or kill you.

    Many critics praised the game especially for the attention to detail throughout the world without exception, and to be fair, it is incredible how much detail they've managed to include, but here is where I have to stop being nice. Sure, the detail is staggering... the first time you see it, after that, it doesn't impress, in fact, it hinders the user experience due to the commitment to realism in every action you take. Shop menus are no longer menus, they're catalogs that you have to flip pages in, slowing shopping to a crawl since you to wait for the 2 second animation of page flipping to finish before you can do anything. In the same vein, (kinda) survival elements. The game has a weight mechanic now, the more or less you eat, the more or less you weigh, how surprising. The problem occurs when your weight changes your health and stamina in positive or negative ways depending on your weight, meaning if you don't eat 3 pieces of meat at a camp 3 times a day you fall too under-weight and all of your stats will drain even faster before needing to be refilled... with food. So why not just eat then? Well, in order to get food (assuming you don't have any on you) is to hunt animal, which animal you kill and skin will determine the meat you get. You can get stringy meat from small animals such as rabbits and squirrels, or prime meat from large animals like bears and elk. Once you have the meat, you need to make camp, which takes about 20 seconds to load and be ready to use, after which you cook the meat over the fire, which take about 10 seconds, and then eat it for 5 seconds. All of this for each piece until you think you've had enough, which is hard to tell because the game doesn't tell you.

    In between all of these exciting adventures, you'll be traveling the open world for much longer than you'd like to be, by that I mean it takes 2-3 minutes to ride to the nearest town from where you leave the tutorial. To occasionally fill the empty space, RockStar decided to add in random events, ranging from a person in danger to robbers holding you up. These events can be quite entertaining from time to time and can offer a neat distraction.

    I noticed this site has a limited number of characters at this point so I'll finish the rest quickly.

    Horse riding is slow and unresponsive, gun-play is the bare-essentials, the story is... fine,
    and the writing is good for the most part. Everything not mentioned is either done well or not worth mentioning.

    From the sound of all this you may think I hate the game, I don't, I just don't understand how a game could spend 10 years in development and fail in so many basic mechanics, leading me to believe that priorities were wrong from the beginning, focusing on detail instead of gameplay.    … Expand

    I have never had a better immersive experience than this. The controls might be a bit cumbersome, yes. But looking past that and playing the game is totally worth it.

    Positives:
    1. Total immersion: the scenery is magnificent, the story is enthralling, even the side missions and the bounty quests are very unique and enjoyable. Heck even the travelling from place to place (i was pretty sceptical when i heard that there was no fast travel in rdr2) lends itself to the world and immerses you into it completely.
    2. The Characters: each and every character feels like a real person. Dutch, Sadie, Pearson, Micah, hamish, charlotter, just to name a few. There is an amazing texture to the world around you because of these characters.
    3. Morally ambiguous protagonist: agreed that there have been many games in the past few years boasting of the same, but Arthur Morgan and his characterization has been spot on.

    Negatives:
    1. Maybe the controls as mentioned in many negative reviews.
    2. Addictive: the immersion leads to addiction; i was not able to take my mind of it even at work. very few games have this effect. And in 10 days, even though i work 5 days a week, i finished almost 90% of this open world game.    … Expand

There are some mechanics with some problems when you're riding your horse or when you run. However, the story (emotional as f***) and the soundtrack are just awesome. i have no words.

Just because you don't agree with the critics doesn't mean you have to out of spite give it a low rating. I've finished all the main story missions and side quests, and am by no means saying the game is flawless. But hot damn the story is amazing.

Every time i look at this game it feels so real and really enhances immersion. The attention to detail, the faces, the horse's, waterfalls, snowy mountains and more. The games environments are varied and Rockstar has put so much effort into how this game looks it is incredible. The voice acting is great, not only from the talented main cast but the random strangers in the world as well. The sounds of the world around you like crowded towns or the sounds of the nature and wildlife around you is incredibly detailed. The soundtrack is incredibly diverse and always feels perfect and is played at the right times. The story and its characters are easily the highlight of this experience. The beginning might be slow but the rest of the game is paced perfectly. The main game is long and creates a slower and more stretched out pacing that works to great effect and allows you to grow and understand each character. The world around you feels so real and detailed its incredible. Beggars in the street asking for money, suffragettes protesting women's rights, and even your own gang hanging around a campfire singing songs all add to this experience. The characters are all unique and have different relationships with each other. The main protagonist, Arthur Morgan seems like a pretty average character at first but his development throughout the story and coming to know him better makes him one of the best protagonists in gaming history. The themes and lessons, the way the society changes around you and does not accept outlaws any more, the tension between characters and slowly setting everything up all for it to crumble down is amazing. One of the best written and in depth narratives i have ever experienced in any medium. The game-play however is more of a mixed bag. Movement feels a bit slow and the cover system is very finicky. The auto aim is very obnoxious and gives you no control in combat. The shooting either feels too accurate or not at all at times. However the sound and environments of the battles, abilities like dead eye and dynamite and tomahawks and all the creative ways to take out enemies is great. Camp management and maintaining your health and weight and all the other role playing like mechanics are all welcomed and add a lot of depth and personalization. The game allows you to simulate a western world and immerse yourself. While most of the realistic mechanics work and are great, horses and controlling them can be very frustrating. Story missions while great are kind of repetitive and mostly end in a shootout, but some of them are really creative and change up things. Apart from the main story missions the game has a lot to see and do. Side missions and other things make up most of this game and all of it is top notch. The humor and wit of the side stories is incredible and there is so much to see and do. Random events and encounters add to the world as well. Sometimes these side activities are better than the main story missions. Mini games like poker and blackjack are fun and great ways to spend time, fishing and hunting are great and the mechanics are really refined. This was a long review of mine but this is an even longer game. The game may not be perfect but what it gets right mostly outweighs it. This game is an incredible experience unlike any other. A must buy beautiful and sad game with so much love that everyone must play.… Expand

The story itself was okay, it wasn't that different from other rockstar games and wester movies. "We need X amount of money to leave the country" "we just need this one last score" The only strong point of the story is characters. Every one of them is interesting and difference, unlike other rockstar games where a lot of the characters feel like a copy and paste.

    The other thing i don't understand is the "challenges". Like most of the main challenges are super easy and then all of a sudden you get one that is 100% based on luck. How is it a challenge if it's completely on luck? Good luck with winning 3 games of dominoes in a row lol. Not only those challenges but the gold medals. Like there are some missions that's literally impossible for you to get a gold. Did they even play test it or just put in the medals as a last minute feature?

    Now about the multiplayer. Can rockstar be more greedy? Have run grinding a weekend to only get a shotgun or a week to get a new horse. Of course you can skip all of that and just pay with real money and have it instantly! That's not the only thing i hate about the multiplayer. There's almost nothing to do. There is more to do in the single player open world right now. Plus there is no invite only or private sessions, so you have to play with strangers who will most likely try and kill you the second they see you.    … Expand

Although the story is at sometimes a bit predictable or cliche, I find that it is probably among the best that video games have to offer, on the same level of the first game and The Last of Us. What stands out the most is the character development, no game has the amount of depth poured into their characters as much as this game. Critiques that the story goes on too long are completely invalid when you actually look at the content that time is filled with, which never dips below above average. The sound design of RDR2 is pretty well done, and the music incorporation is done incredibly well. I am a sucker for good music in video games and the few moments where music is at the forefront are among my favorite parts of the game. My biggest gripe with the game is travel, although it is immersive to ride your horse everywhere, it does become quite tedious and boring after a while. This problem is solved though when you discover the fast travel map in your camp and learn to use stagecoaches and trains. Combat/gameplay are fun enough and immerse you into the world even further. Cover mechanics can be very wonky at times, but it never bothered me enough beyond inconvenience. All-in-all, Red Dead Redemption 2 is an immersive experience that is well worth the initial $60 price tag. I insist everyone give it a shot.… Expand

    There is a balance between fun game and annoying sim and RDR2 heads towards the latter. Amongst other boring pieces of the game, what value does forcing you to walk when you should be able to run, or needing to brush your horse or have a bath so you don't lose health really add to the game? It makes it the most frustrating and disappointing experience for those who just want to pick up the game and have some fun.    … Expand

The story is on an unrivalled level and is constructed perfectly, with exceptional dialogue and writing, the characters are charming and funny, each with their own distinct personality that is easily distinguishable and identifiable. The gameplay is smooth and fun, if it's not fun then why play it? The game is simple to pick up but difficult to master, the player has the freedom to go about the world, which is immensely vast whilst still having the player at mind.

    The singleplayer mode is perfect in every sense of the word and easily one of the greatest games of the 21st century yet, for that reason I am giving the game a 10, but that doesn't go for the multiplayer.

    The multiplayer is dastardly horrible, the player is completely neglected for a Pay-To-Win model. The multiplayer had vast potential but it just isn't fun. There isn't much to do, if you've played 6 hours of multiplayer then you've experienced everything that there is.    … Expand

I was seriously thinking about buying the most expensive special deluxe version with all the online bonuses etc. That would be HUGE mistake...
    Thank god I ended up with base disc version of the game, and I already sold it...
    First 15 hours I was terribly annoyed tiresomely trying to get used to steering, painfully slow animations and lack of any reasonable combat system, non working cover system etc.
    The game is victim to success of GTA series. Not much risk is taken, same schemes are visible here.
    Which means broken exaggerated auto aim, strictly scripted missions, large parts of game being based on listening to all kinds of conversations during boring journeys etc, but unfortunately also clumsy movement and animations of main protagonist. So, while you expect engaging combat and some action, you have to go through long minutes of talking. Over and over. Later on, its getting really painful to see that your next mission is on the other side of the map and you will spend 10 minutes to get there... Sure, there is some kind of fast travel system, but its broken, not well implemented, because it requires you to find the carriage, (and it does not work at nights) or going to your camp... so as well you may go with your horse instead of the chore of figuring this broken fast travel system.
    My god, this game mechanics were so fun in the beggining, lets say GTA3. By that times it did not matter how you complete your mission as long as the main objective is complete. Now its strictly scripted. You want to collect some loot during the fight? Too bad for you game will not let you, it rushes you to be somewhere else. No fun at all.
    There is cinematic camera during the travel so you do not have to steer your horse. Pity there is no cinematic camera for the missions with auto completion system. There is more to watch and listen than to play, so it would definitely make some sense.
    Other games are often criticized for dull combat. Professional reviewers does not see the problem with RDR2 being one-trick game. Dead eye. I did use it in literally every gunfight in this game, because game let me. No challenge at all, except meeting script requirements. No single boss fight, one shot kills. Realistic? Rather dull.
    I tried to play online, but it is terrible chaotic mess of a game. Autoaim everywhere, kids thinking they got skills autoaiming everybody, one headshot kills and all this ever present feeling of flat mechanics. I did not have the patience to figure it out why I can not shoot some players, while other can one shot kill me.
    Back to single player mode, they even cut out the fun of the ever forgiving system of careless rampage that was present in every GTA game. This is another flawed design choice. It makes no sense in robbing anyone, because what you rob you will have to pay back to reset your wanted level. My god, who came with these terrible ideas? You dressed the face mask and different outfit, yet everyone recognize you instantly and put bounty on your head. How realistic is this??? XIX century police used cell phones??? This could be so much fun robbing trains all over again... Seeing maybe stronger security consecutive time we try to rob... What a waste!!!
    Let alone chores of taking some extremely boring activities, washing, eating working etc, you can skip it entirely.
    So why 6/10 not less? Because of so much work put in detailed graphics, huge world, nice lore with all that secrets. At some point It was so fun just to go fishing, hunting, doing some sidemissions etc. But by the way main story treats you, it was all destroyed. Overall, it is sad game, knowing soon they will all die... After finishing campaing I was not motivated to do anything else, as it seem pointless to me.
    Credits goes for the best game tune in recent years which is Fire in Your Eyes, it really moved me in a way I would never expect from this game. I will remember this game mainly because of the credit scene of Arthur's future-ex girlfriend visiting his grave... Somehow it hit me really hard to be honest.
    By the way, I now see why first RDR game started off where RDR2 ends. If the story timeline was right, and Marston's game was second one, it would be way too obvious.
    Anyway I will never forgive so called proffesional reviewers to rate this game so high. Real value is reflected rather by user scores.
    Once again it seems that its is easier to put infinite resources on the game world, on beautiful graphics, never ending camp interactions, countless encounters and characters, than it is to build engaging and addictive game mechanics. We miss more Miyamotos in the industry.
    At minimum, Dan and Sam please at least hire some decent mechanics engineer, the one from, lets say Uncharted series, would make your game to be remembered forever.
    I really hope next GTA you will rebuild mechanics from scratch, but seeing kind of money you earn on this, hope may turn out to be again fool's mother...    … Expand

    8/10 and here’s why this may be the most overrated game of all time.

    I’ll start off by saying this game has an absolutely incredible amount of content and things to do in the world. The graphics are absolutely stunning, some of the best you’ll see in any game. Now that we’ve got graphics out of the way, let’s get on to what counts most: gameplay 1: +The gameplay is incredibly    8/10 and here’s why this may be the most overrated game of all time.

    I’ll start off by saying this game has an absolutely incredible amount of content and things to do in the world. The graphics are absolutely stunning, some of the best you’ll see in any game. Now that we’ve got graphics out of the way, let’s get on to what counts most: gameplay

    1: +The gameplay is incredibly realistic and immersive. You will literally feel like you’re actually living in the world. There is a mechanic for EVERYTHING; from picking up canned pears to brushing your horse to fishing and hunting. There is an animation for everything you do and they are incredibly realistic and well done. Why am I mentioning this?
    - it leads to extremely slow and sometimes very tedious gameplay. When you explore and loot a house, you have to sit through every animation whether that’s opening a drawer or searching the chimney. Everything has an animation and it can get very tedious.

    +Gun play is great, I have no complaints with fire fights. Again, you have to clean and maintain your guns which you guessed it, more animations that can get a bit tedious.

    +Maintaining your character: As you play through RDR2, you’ll have to eat food, smoke cigarettes, drink whiskey, etc. to maintain your “cores.” You have one for you health, one for stamina and one for “dead eye.” This was an aspect of the game I loved, if you eat too little, your character becomes underweight, eat too much and he becomes overweight. If you don’t maintain your cores, then your character and gameplay will suffer.
    -Some May not like this aspect of the game and just want to play the game. This is a complaint I’ve heard, so I’m listing it here even though I thought it was a great addition.

    Story:
    +The story is awesome, very engaging and you will grow to really care about the characters.
    -The story missions are very linear and scripted. They essentially just tell you what you are going to do, you don’t make hardly any of your own decisions to impact the mission. Start at point A, go to point B, do what the game tells you, then end of mission. Almost more like a movie. I will say that the story missions are fun however, I’d just like more freedom.

    Controls: I put this separate to gameplay simply because I forgot to include it earlier. Whoops.
    +The character movement is extremely realistic, very fluid and lifelike.
    -The controls can be very clunky. Because of the realism, it can annoying to position your character to pick something up or to sneak up on an enemy. Like other Rockstar games, you have to hold X/A to run. I just don’t understand this mechanic, it’s a video game, not real life, I don’t want to hold X every time I want my character to run. Otherwise he walks at a slow pace. This is a pet peeve of mine, I want my character to jog when I push the analog stick forward, not also have to hold X, it’s just an annoying mechanic.

    All in all, the game is very good and Rockstar deserves praise, but there is no way this game is a 97 out of 100. There are bugs, though minor for the most part, and gameplay is extremely slow.    … Expand

    Red Dead Redemption 2 is a prequel to 2010s red dead redemption where you play as Arthur Morgan, part of Dutches gang…
    If you’ve played the first red dead you know things go sour, so Red Dead Redemption 2 sets out to tell that story…
    Much like the first red dead, red dead redemption 2 sets out to immerse you with not only its environment and storytelling but its mechanincs as well.. much like a team ico game..
    everything seems tedious, but its on purpose… the game wants you to feel completely in control at all times.. and its one of the things I love most about the red dead series,, you have to manually tap a button to gallop and go faster for example, you have to take care of your horse to increase its stats, it sets out to place you into another world, another time period.. youre essentially living another life away from your own… Red Dead Redemption feels that real…
    This tedium is also this games downfall…
    I loved both red dead redemption and red dead 2… however Red Dead Redemption 2 is nowhere near as enjoyable for me as the first… though they feel like vastly different games…
    Red Dead 2 isnt about exciting events taking place, no cinnmeatic moments, you feel like a member of the gang, contributing, doing jobs and collecting cash to upgrade around camp…
    and everything about this game is mythotical and slow, theres no fast travel in the way modern games have spoiled us with… you have to ride from place to place, take in this games world, run into its inhabitants and predators, thankfully this game is gorgeous at times, but I feel all the hype around how good this game looks is a little out of proportion…
    infact I feel most of red dead redemption 2 is generally overrated…
    but back to being slow… this is red dead 2s greatest asset and greatest flaw…
    for the first 20 out of 60hrs of this games campaign, I loved the slow pace living life as a cowboy… but I felt the story and game just drug on forever.. exciting things rarely happening… never really having fun…
    red dead redemption just isn’t a fun game…
    and that’s okay.. it’s a different kind of experience… again.. back to the point of wanting you to feel like youre living another life, that’s what I felt.. I was immersed into this world…
    but by the games final chapter I was just so bored, so uninterested on how anything turned out other than arthurs story…
    I just wish the campaign was fast and fun like the first games campaign… while everything around it stayed a little slower..
    just everything began to feel pretadictable, too samey… don’t get me wrong there are great moments throughout your 60 hour journey… but so much of it feels like needless padding, and things ive already done a thousand times… making me ultimately feel like the game over stays its welcome with the story…
    everything this campaign set out to achieve couldve been done in under 20 hours easily…
    there was no reason to drag it out other than a selling point of a long campaign that youll probably get too bored to even see through to the end…
    if somehow youre still craving red dead redemption after that 60 hours there is an online mode currently in beta, but I just wasn’t interested in doing more of the same with a silent protagonist with my friends online…. Sure I don’t have friends, but that’s not the point…
    the campaign itself had a hard enough time keeping my interest..
    that said I actually Love Red Read Redemption 2…
    I was just over it before it was over…
    Youll get your moneys worth here… but youll probably end up searching for the ending on youtube.

    Gorgeous game and excellent story with tons of content that will keep casual gamers engaged for hours. I refer to it as Westworld, though, because as you spend more time in the world you begin to see the cracks in the seams and the limits that the rules force upon you. Still hard not to recommend it but Rockstar needs to learn some lessons from some other recent sandbox games.

As a cherry on top of all that, around you is the most gorgeous world you’ve ever seen in a game (NOT kidding!), waiting for you to explore it. Mountains, swamps, plains, desert, you name it!

    Now I’d like to address the biggest complaints about this game, complaints that were holding me back from purchasing this game at first.

    ”Repetitive gameplay.”
    While the gameplay is repetitive to some extent, as in you need to eat, sleep and take care of different kind of stuff on daily basis, in my opinion it’s an essential part of the game, one of the parts that makes the game such a wholesome experience. On the other hand, the story is based on this concept that allows you to freeroam and do missions when you want to, which means that for some people it might get boring to always start a new mission.

    ”Clumsy controls.”
    At first, yes, but when you get used to them, they feel decent. For me it took an hour.

    ”The game is nothing but chores.”

    The best Rockstar game yet, and as a fan of their titles this game truly floored me with it's incredible visuals, animations and story. The gameplay is much more immersive this time and it's a welcomed change. every interaction in this game feels like a next gen proof of concept; from hunting, robbing and npc behavior.

    Asi zacnu prvne s chvalenim. Ten svet je něco uzasneho. Ten svet je proste jedna z hlavnich postav v tehle hre. Hlavne ze zacatku clovek jenom rad projizdi kolem a snazi se objevovat. To je další vyborny aspekt tehle hry. Kamkoliv clovek pojede tak najde něco zajímavého. At uz je to dobrodruh co hleda zakopane poklady podle map, rozrezane telo masového vraha vyzivajiciho k jeho chyceni, chudaka jednonohého vojaka kteremu se splasil kun a odjel mu i s protezou, dalšího chudaka na kterého spadl kun, nebo dalšího chudaka kterého kousl had :D Timhle tim „random“ prvkem tahle hra exceluje. Svet kolem hrace pomalu roste. Tam kde jedna rodinka zacala se zaklady domu tak později ma hotove zdi a ve finále strechu.

    Další věc která se tyka světa. Zvirata, to je také něco dokonalého. Spoustu hodin jsem strávil jenom tim ze jsem lovil a pozoroval ruzne typy zvere od nizin az po hory. Ziskani spravnych zbraních na jejich lov apod.

    Proste atmosféra divokého zapadu je zde vypilovana do neskutecne vysky. Priroda, svet, lidi v nem. Tohle proste je pecka.

    Graficky to bylo také pekne. Je mi jasne ze v tak velkem svete se to proste sem tam neda uhlidat. Sem tam skobrtani anice ale nic hrozneho. I když mi prislo ze v epilogu toho bylo vic nez ze zacatku. Jakoby na nej autori uz nemeli tolik casu :D

    Ted uz budeme pomalu klesat :D Pribeh, no zadna luxusni story to moc nebyla. V nekterych pripadech jsem se pristihl jak otacim oci v sloup z rozhodnuti nekterych postav. To same pak platilo pro „příběhovou nesmrtelnost“. Proc nebyl problém prezit obrovskou přestřelku kde hlavni postavy prepadla nejaka skupina a v cutscenach to proste někdo musel koupit, a pak nasledne ho sunda chlap s nozem…. Postava Dutche byla od pulky k nesneseni. Porad jenom mlel o tom jak potřebujeme peníze a jak potrebujeme poslední velkou akci a jak pak odjedeme pryc….. a furt a furt to mlel. Nejzajimavejsi postava byla Mrs. Adler a ještě par. Hlavni postava Arthura byla fajn (co s nim autori udelali). Jen to byl proste ten typ: Prines tohle, prines tamto…… Slo to podle me udelat mnohem lepe. To same se da rici o samotnem finále hlavni casti. Ta honicka na te hore. Neskutecne prkenné. Ten finalni souboj byl cely, meh….strasne nuceny. No a epilog jsem tak nejak dohral z donuceni :D (holt jsem nehral první dil :D) Hodnoceni hlavni linky pribehu – tak 7/10.

    Ted si rejpnu do nekterych hernich mechanik. Toho člověka co delal design inventare bych vyhodil. A toho co delal nabídky, navigaci v menu apod. bych hned vyhodil po nem. Ty vole to byli nervy s tim menu. Třeba v obchodech stou knihou to byl dobry napad a sedelo to. Jenze navigace v menu, nejake filtrovani věci nebo takhle uplne priserne. To same platilo pro specialni obchody nebo upgrady v kempu. Clovek ani poradne nevi ze si muze poridit nejaky upgrade protože je to nastrkany pod peti kliknutima v dalších 30 zalozkach…..grrrrr. Sbirani itemu po svete……..grrrrrrrrrrrrr…. ke vsemu se musí prijit (coz chápu) ale k tomu se ještě musí postava natocit spravne. To ze to ma primo před sebou nestaci. On musí stat uplne presne. Navíc hra hraci vůbec nic nerekne. Ja rozumim ze hra ma spise mlcet a nechat hrace si tu hru prozkoumat ale tohle je uz moc. To ze když podrzim option tlacitko ze mi to rovnou zobrani mapu ? Takze nemusim jit do menu, vybrat mapu. Nebo ze když drzim tlacitko na sbirani tak Arthur sbira vse ve skriny a projizdi hned supliky ? Takze to nemusi clovek mackat porad dokola ? Tyhle věci proste ta hra tomu hraci mela rici. Místo toho mi opakuje same debilni napovedy které jsou k hovnu.

    Toho kdo rozhodl ze v kempu a v interiérech se bude chodit jen pomalu bych nakopal doprdele. V prvním kempu to jde ale jakmile je ta část kde je kemp v baraku a pokoj hlavni postavy je v patre….. grrrrrrrrrrrrrr. To same plati pro presun mezi questama. Ze zacatku to clovek nejak dava ale od pulky uz je to akorát prodluzovani hratelnost. Questy kdy jsem musel fakt projet celou mapu byly priserny. Tam jsem pak něco odevzdal a jel zase celou mapu zpatky. Neskutecne to rozmělňovalo pribehove napeti a zážitek. Mela tam byt moznost rychlého presunu v tech Questech. Sice je tam fast travel ale to je hlavne pro mimo pribehove prozkoumavani. To je fajn. Jen s téma questama to posrali.

    V tom ovladani když mel Arthur s necim interaktovat to bylo fakt prkene jako prase. Pomale chozeni. Prodluzovani hratelnosti presunama. Všechny tyhle ty věci tu hru neskutecne kazili.
    Svet, atmosféra, aktivity, nahodna setkani, zver 10/10
    Pribeh, ovladani, prkenost interakce, menu 6-7/10

    RDR 2 is a true masterpiece in world building and story telling. The controls and gameplay are very similar to GTA 5 and RDR 1 which is not a bad thing, but perplexes me as to why it is getting some hate from users.

The graphics are amazing and even at a base PS4 it looks gorgeous. Lightning effects are some of the best I've ever seen in a game and the story is classic Rockstar, a huge, well written chaos. Arthur Morgan could be Rockstar's best character in terms of writing and I really enjoyed playing as him. Open world is beautiful as expected and it's full of things to do. Side-missions are as good as main-missions and random encounters are big fun. However sometimes the story just drags and you really feel like you are doing the same thing all over again. One last flaw is the epilogue. I get the point but it's WAY TOO LONG. Overall, great game.… Expand

    Let’s break it down, the game's story is possibly one of Rockstar’s best and while I didn't find it as interesting as GTA 5's story I did find myself enjoying two thirds of the story as I said I drifted away in the prologue as it felt like it was added purely put smiles on the faces of Red Dead Redemption diehard fans it was small quest all about how such a small insignificant part of the character's journey I personally don't feel like it needed to know the majority of the prologue it could've been kept ambiguous and I wouldn't have a complaint. But it was that portion that let down the entire game for me as I just stopped caring and lead to me not reminiscing about the experience from the first two thirds the parts I actually enjoyed and at points loved.

    How realistic is too realistic? That is a question I asked myself towards the end of the game, I've always enjoyed free roam games because it's usually a game I can pick up and play and just have some dumb fun for an hour with Red Dead I found myself getting bored at the constant stocking up your health, stamina and dead eye with consumables, you also had to clean your weapons to ensure it fired with the best damage, and if you want to try out a wacky hair style have fun waiting for it to grow as the magic barbers don't exist. And while I see that someone will enjoy these features I just didn't care for it by the end I would've preferred an option to turn it off and just allow regen so I can just mess around in this huge open world without thinking well I can't start a shootout because I haven't got many cigars meaning I'm not allowed to use deadeye, it just slowed down the game to a pace that made it tedious and boring.

    Read Dead Online, how could it fail? GTA 5 is overall an enjoyable experience with so much content and ways to play and the original Read Dead's multiplayer was incredible I put as many hours into that as I did with the single player and I just didn't find it enjoyable, it has so many features from the single player causing the same issues and it forces the story down your throat trying it's best to assure you play through it to a point where I just stopped caring and stopped playing and from what I can tell it's failed nowhere near as many people play is as what was expected.

    Now even if I’m mostly negative in the review you must understand this game still has so many elements that are incredible it’s going to go down as one of the best games for several reasons and I’m pretty sure you can just look at any other review and you’ll find all those reasons so I don’t feel the need to go into detail here but just understand I would still say this is a good game just not the best game for me.

    I think this game could've been amazing game, but it's just not an amazing Red Dead Redemption game, it has elements that would work in a DayZ or Arma setting with the large open world with realism elements the multiplayer could've had so many elements that would lead to huge roleplay servers but with Rockstar running all the servers that won't happen for now. I hope we see a Red Dead Undead Nightmare 2 as I think many of these elements will work better in that compared to a traditional Red Dead.    … 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]
