    Esses idiotas infelizes que dao nota 0 sem explicação plausível deveriam ter comentarios deletados simplesmente pela falta de respeito de milhares de funcionarios que deram o suor e muito esforço para terminar esse espetaculo de jogo que deve ser o melhor do ano . Parabens para os funcionários da Rockstar.

    This game is most definitely the best console game I have ever played and as a massive fan of the first the fan service is there but it is subtle and you do not need to play the first to enjoy or appreciate the game at all.
    The story, cinematography, optimisation, personality and game play are phenomenal and Rockstar Games have set the bar extremely high for any other AAA games studio.
    My only criticisms of the game are a pretty substantial amount of bugs in some story missions which are very noticeable but they very rarely impact the overall experience, it seems that it is more prominent in the second half of the games story. The other criticism would be that the epilogue portion can feel a wee bit dragged out but not from story building missions, more from some action ones.
    Rockstar Games deserve an Oscar for this game hands down, it is mind boggling that this is the quality it is. In my opinion it surpasses GTA 5 and any prior title. The sheer level of detail and obvious love which has gone into this game speaks volumes about the company and I would like to thank the 100's of people who have worked on this game, it has given me the best experience from a story driven video game of my life and I mainly play choice based RPG's!
    Roger Clark who is the voice actor behind Arthur Morgan is someone who deserves particular recognition as the character he brings to Arthur again, is the best I've seen in a game. I've made a MetaCritic account just because I need to let anyone (of which there are few) people who are on the fence with this game to know, there is something for everyone in this game, you will not regret buying it and the online hasn't even dropped yet! (hoping it won't be drowned in micro-transactions like GTA Online but we all know it will be, prove everyone wrong please Rockstar!)

    But yes, 9.5/10 absolutely amazing and Rockstar deserve every single bit of praise they receive with this game. They have paved the way for the new generation of games and if this is what can be expected from gaming in the future, that future is extremely bright! Well done to every single person that worked on this game and please give Roger Clark some award, any! Sadie Adler is also the wife of my dreams!    … Expand

    One of my most anticipated games of the past few years, RDR2 didn't disappoint.

The story was emotional and deeply involving, the game play fun and in-depth. The graphics are absolutely stunning and the sheer depth of the world itself is staggering. The soundtrack is one of the best ever devised for a video game. The opportunities to fail when following in the footsteps of Red Dead Redemption were many but RDR2 took all that was great in the original and elevated it. John Maston is one of the most beloved characters in the genre, but not only did Arthur Morgan match him, but for me he far surpassed the original. RDR2 is a masterpiece not only of it's medium and genre but also of how to make a proper sequel/prequel.
    Having read some of the lower scored reviews it seems a lot of the negative feedback is about the game's pace, but there are different games for different players and this is by far my favorite way to play a game. To immerse myself, to enjoy the ride from A to B and see what happens on the way. I took so many screenshots as I travailed that I actually hit my Xbox's limit. Something I didn't even know existed. This is a game to enjoy slowly, to sip and savour like a fine brandy. it is not a shot of vodka to be tossed back in one big gulp and swiftly forgotten.
    I've replayed the main story and it's epilogue, twice and am still finding new side missions, new characters and new locations to explore.    … Expand

    Red Dead Redemption 2, one of the most detailed, content filled, and beautiful games ever. I do have my issues with this game, mainly with the story, but it doesn't take away from this game at all, if anything it takes away from Red Dead 1 or R* at that.

    I've beaten the game once already, and it's so good, I legitimately started a new play through 10 minutes afterwards, and I'm still    Red Dead Redemption 2, one of the most detailed, content filled, and beautiful games ever. I do have my issues with this game, mainly with the story, but it doesn't take away from this game at all, if anything it takes away from Red Dead 1 or R* at that.

    I've beaten the game once already, and it's so good, I legitimately started a new play through 10 minutes afterwards, and I'm still coming across random events, strangers, side missions, and more, that I never saw in my first play through. The game play, gun play, horse riding, walking, looting, pretty much everything in this game is great, a little clunky at times, but amazing. It's worth playing if for nothing else than shooting people in the west.

    My issue is the story, mainly how Red Dead 1 never mentions ANY of these IMPORTANT characters, Arthur is Dutch's right hand man and basically his son, Arthur is basically John's brother, but he is NEVER mentioned, even Sadie Adler, who plays a big part is never mentioned. Charles Smith who plays a huge part also, is never mentioned, I don't even think Hosea is mention, and he was like a brother to Dutch and a father to John and Arthur, but none of these important characters are mentioned at all. I don't think it takes away from this game RDR2, but it definitely takes away from either RDR1 or R* because if you're going to create as important of characters as these people, you need to find a way to have it make sense that the man that they saved and was raised with never mentions them at all, ever.

    It's kinda why I disagree with prequels, you create all these important characters for the prequel, but then when you think about what it's a prequel of, and how these characters are not mentioned at all, it kinda pisses you off, and you see why prequels are a bad idea.

    But all the same, this game is downright amazing, Arthur Morgan, Sadie Alder and Charles Smith are 3 of my favorite characters in gaming history, right there with John Marston and Geralt of Rivia, maybe even higher, Arthur at least. This game deserves a 10, no matter what. We have over, way over 100 hours of content in the base game, and we still have yet to play Red Dead Online, which will add hundreds of hours more of content, thousands for some people, including myself.

    If any of these, wild west, amazing gun play, amazing horse riding, great characters, an amazing story, or watching a horses nuts shrink in the cold weather, pick up Red Dead Redemption 2 as soon as you can.

    And yes, the $100 edition is totally worth it, you will not regret a damn thing.    … Expand

There's no time filling missions with no-point or reason to them, everything has a purpose and contributes to the grand scheme of the story with foreshadowing or character building. The world aside from story missions is also full of things to do like fishing, hunting, poker, exc. The world feels so alive and never feels empty, there's ALWAYS something going on, its never short of random stranger encounters. The controls of the game is good, although kinda goofy at times... plays extremely realistic-ish at times, and can be frustrating if you don't pay attention to your path by crashing or whatnot but personally i think it is definitely an improvement for Rockstar adds to the immersion immensely. The interfaces also will take some time to get use to but once you get the hang of it, it works great. First person mode is a huge step up from GTA V and wasn't tacked on, the game was made with both (First person/ 3rd person) perspective in mind and feels, looks and works great.… Expand

    Alright, so I honestly decided to make this account just to review this game. Let's try to make this as concise and critical as possible.

    First thing's first, I'd like to back up my opinion on this game by stating three facts. A. I have completed the first Red Dead Redemption. B. I have completed this game, Red Dead Redemption 2, as well. C. I am not a Rockstar fanboy. In fact, I    Alright, so I honestly decided to make this account just to review this game.

    First thing's first, I'd like to back up my opinion on this game by stating three facts.

    A. I have completed the first Red Dead Redemption.
    B. I have completed this game, Red Dead Redemption 2, as well.
    C. I am not a Rockstar fanboy. In fact, I have now only finished three of their games. Red Dead Redemption, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Grand Theft Auto V.

    With that being said, onto the review.

    This game is absolutely perfect for me as a player. Obviously there are gripes people have, but those gripes don't necessarily reflect as a bad thing for me when it comes to how I play the game.

    Yes it is clunky, but I enjoy the weighty feel of my character moving and interacting with the world. You also get used to the controls pretty fast as well. As for the immersion and survival elements, I am entirely okay with them as I am big into survival games already.

    The big thing with this game is that is has absolutely an absolutely superb story that nearly moved me to tears three separate times over the course of ten minutes. The characters are layered and actually evolve as the game continues, whilst also staying consistent to how they would act. This story has to be, without a doubt, the best video game story on the market right now.

    The sound design is another big plus. The music system they programmed to create tracks on the fly is nothing less than impressive, and the general design and feel of the sounds you hear throughout the gameplay keeps you immersed throughout the entire experience.

    Finally, the graphics are fantastic for three separate but equal reasons: character models, lighting, and facial animations. Everything about these three specific things are executed masterfully.

    I personally think the definition of a perfect game is something that does exactly what it set out to do and this game passed that definition with flying colors. It is a must play.    … Expand

The following day I played a bit more and just got bored of it. After 12 hours of gameplay I was certain I was done with this game and was I very dissapointed with it, I was telling people that it wasn't worth it and that it was boring. Well the following Monday I gave it another chance, I played a few hours and something just clicked. I realized that everything in this game is amazing (characters, story telling, setting), and the story just kept pulling me back in. Before I knew it I was almost done with the game and I was having a blast with it. I finally completed it and now I understand why all these critics are praising this game. You really have to devote your time to get into this game. It's not a game that you can pick up for 20 minutes at a time and enjoy it. I have never played a game with an amazing story like this. As much as I love this game it still has some downfalls. On my play through I encountered many bugs that ruined missions, and as some others have pointed out some missions are very linear and you cannot complete many missions how you want to. I would always try to run around the enemy to flank them, only to have my companions die or have the mission ended because I was too far from my companions or the area i was suppose to be in. The controls and the speed of the game do take some time to get use to. Before playing this game I completed The Legend of Zelda: BOTW for the second time, and have been playing a lot of BO4, so It was kind of hard to get into this game. At first it felt very slow and clunky but you get use to it. The positives of this game greatly outweigh the negatives, so do not worry too much about the negatives. This game is really something else and I am glad I gave it another chance. You really cannot go wrong by purchasing this game.

    I agree with a lot of people who say this game is clunky because it does use Rockstar's typical clunky control scheme, something I was personally hoping they wouldn't have. But I have to say that the game itself more than makes up for this. I'm constantly in awe of the game in terms of visuals and opportunities. Rockstar did such an utterly fantastic job on making this game feel truly alive and deep

    I see a lot of complaints about the slow pace of this game and I feel obligated to say if you only like straightforward shallow games with little complexity and a fast pace, this game isn't for you. RDR2 is a game that is enjoyed best by fans of open world games with a plethora of interesting activities to occupy your time with. In my opinion its the little things that count and really get you immersed. The pace is slow but realistically so, its more immersive and realistic than most games and means that there isn't as much action.    … Expand

    The game can be quite slow at some parts, but in a game that's all about story and character development, it doesn't hinder the experience in any way. From my time playing, the only thing that does get a little tedious and repetitive is the sheer amount of collectable strands, and the time you have to commit to complete said strands. Whilst the collectables are quite varied, it's still not exactly fun the longer you're doing it but that's the only negative thing I have to say, and that alone isn't worth dropping a point over.

    Even though the game world is significantly smaller than Rockstar's latest release, GTA V, it doesn't feel like it because you're not driving around in 200mph hyper cars. However, this does mean that the world is incredibly detailed and you can find yourself just exploring for hours finding all kinds of interesting and strange things. This could be discovering houses containing interesting secrets, the skeletal remains of some creatures that lived long ago or simply just running into other NPC's out in the country with some of the hilarious random encounters. There are also, as with any Rockstar game, a ton of Easter Eggs for you to discover.

    Overall, I'd absolutely recommend this game to anyone, even if you haven't played the first Red Dead Redemption. This 2nd instalment is a prequel after all, so I'd recommend you play the first game after this one. That is of course if you are interested in the story. It is a true masterpiece of this generation and with the introduction of Red Dead Online soon, it can only get better.    … Expand

    Unquestionably 2018's best game, and an all-time open-world masterpiece. [Christmas 2018, p.89]

    It doesn’t matter if you are gamer, a human being, or an alien from another planet; Red Dead Redemption 2 is a title that you just can’t miss. The bar set by RDR2 is so high that even Rockstar itself will probably have a hard time raising it. One of the best releases in the history of digital entertainment.

    While it has some notable but minor flaws, it's hard to argue that Red Dead Redemption 2 is not a masterpiece. The end result of the meticulous detail, wonderful writing and stunning looks is an open world that sets a new bar for believability, and a time and place I can't stop thinking about or wanting to be a part of.
