    Rockstar Games has done it again. Red Dead Redemption II isn't the next GTA like many people think. It's a whole different ballpark one that Rockstar has almost mastered.

    The beginning is a little slow but after you start picking up the pace in Chapter 2 it almost hurts to have to put the controller down (I mean like seriously YOU CAN INTERACT WITH ANYONE IN THE GAME HOW CRAZY IS THAT)

    The beginning is a little slow but after you start picking up the pace in Chapter 2 it almost hurts to have to put the controller down (I mean like seriously YOU CAN INTERACT WITH ANYONE IN THE GAME HOW CRAZY IS THAT) Two complaints I have are that general movement especially horse movement is clunky (I can't tell you how many times my horse just flops and I have to walk miles to buy a Horse reviver before it dies on me) and on the base consoles (Ps4/Ps4 Slim, Xbone/Xbone S) graphics are a bit blurry. Gameplay also does rarely gets repetitive at times (Mostly when you have to ride miles to get to a quest)

    Def a buy, def a game of a year but there are just some kinks that prevent me from giving it a 10 it's more like a 9.5/9.7

    This game is VERY nice. I spent many hours on half of the story and then stopped to free roam on chapter 4. This is awesome. You can play how you want. The wildlife is rich and the off-story challenges are fun to complete. The game runs smoothly on my Xbox One X. I love the singleplayer part. Perfect in my eyes.

    I have yet to pick this game up, but i played it and its gorgeous. A game like this does not come out too often. Its not for people who are looking for combat, its more about the story, and the world building. Definitely recommend!

    Makes me sad that everyone is blinded by the hype to see that this game is just any other boring, empty open world game. its only redeeming factor is its production value and detail, but then this shouldnt be anything but the best considering the amount of resources and money rockstar has

    I'm going to upfront about this, Red Dead Redemption 2 is my favorite game of all time.

    I do have some bias being that the wild west is my personal favorite era of history and the 1873 Single Action Army is my favorite gun of all time. I love riding horses in video games when its done correctly and in RDR2 its sure as hell done correctly. I agree with a lot of people who say this

    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.

    Going back to the game a couple months after release I`ve switched my score from 10 to 7. I think I got why too behind the hype around it. What it boils down to is watch a cut scene, travel somewhere, then kill a bunch of people with not a whole lot of difference in missions throughout the campaign. Still haven`t had the want to replay it like I did for Skyrim, Call of Duty 2, or Borderlands 2.

    An Honest Review:

    As a Rockstar Gamer since GTA2, I have played every one. Each one has made graphical and gameplay enhancements since its last addition. While RDR2 does have an amazing graphic quality on Console, it does have its flaws. The gameplay is stretched when you are riding around on a horse.

    An Honest Review:

    As a Rockstar Gamer since GTA2, I have played every one. Each one has made graphical and gameplay enhancements since its last addition. While RDR2 does have an amazing graphic quality on Console, it does have its flaws. The gameplay is stretched when you are riding around on a horse. It is not an instant gratification game, it does take a person who can immerse themselves to truely enjoy this game. There are clipping bugs and collision bugs when riding around in cinematic view. The gunplay is a little clunky and that is due to the auto aim. The camera views make it very difficult to play free aim with no assist. The characters and NPCS in world notice what you do and react to what you do. This is a blessing and a curse. It forces you to try to play the hero, when maybe you would just like to play full bandit. When full bandit and your meter is red, shop owners will and can refuse to sell to you. This is something that needs to be worked out, but values your choices and path you take. The cutscenes and story is something of a blessing. New gamers hate it, as they only want multiplayer. Older gamers praise it, as we know that multiplayer has dominated gaming. The age of a fully developed game sold for $60 with an amazing story and minimal bugs are over. But RDR2 and Rockstar have done their best to go back to that nostalgia. Overall the game is not without its issues, but is one of the best games of the generation.

    Overall: 80/100
    Pros:
    Graphics
    Characters and NPCS
    Immersion factor
    Story
    The Size of the Map

    Cons:

Previous favourite was Zork Nemesis going back into the early 90's so it's been a while. The game is a cross between a good movie, a good book and a great story set in the most gorgeous and vibrant world surpassing the prasied graphics of The Witcher 3. I can't say enough about how much they have put into this game, even setting up for what's next to come after the main story is complete.... I am hesitant to revisit the game from the beginning again having just completed around 60+ hours only because i want to play it again when it comes out on PC to see how much more beautiful it looks on full system specs. They have a few glitches to sort out but they are basic and unfortunately it takes a little away from the immersion but that only means it will get better before you play it if you haven't already as they iron out those bugs.
    You cannot avoid this game, the fact that this is more than one persons "best game ever" means that it has the potential to be yours. Wow, just Wow. Go into this game with an open mind and prepared to enter a world, not just complete a game, it is and amazing and "alive" world.
    Do yourself a favour and play it on the best possible system you can (XBOX One X or PS4 pro) to really bring out those graphics. I am just blown away and missing the world already.

    "This games story is the best" I have said several times for any game made by Rockstar, They just seem to have a better understanding of how to make people care for their characters they may or may not be rooting for in the end. Red Dead Redemption 2 I would have to say is either as good as the original or worse. now you might be asking "why worse?" Well that doesnt mean its technically"This games story is the best" I have said several times for any game made by Rockstar, They just seem to have a better understanding of how to make people care for their characters they may or may not be rooting for in the end. Red Dead Redemption 2 I would have to say is either as good as the original or worse. now you might be asking "why worse?" Well that doesnt mean its technically terrible that just means i liked more elements from the first game when it came out which Red Dead Redemption was a technical and beautiful marvel filled with a rich cast of characters and story including one of my favorite characters to come out of a Rockstar game "John Marston" Im sorry for blabbering off about the other game. Red Dead Redemption 2 is just as good as the original with even more focus on characters and somewhat not even characters that are apart of the story just random people on the street or people that you might play poker with have emotions, you can specifically bad mouth a random dude on the street and end off with a gun fight or drunken brawl
    now this of course is only possible with the technical minds at Rockstar and the hardware we use today. This interaction system allows players to even connect with in game characters that arent even important to the story at all. Now lets talk about Gameplay, the movement in this game is clunky but realistic in fact i havent really ever seen the characters movement in game break with put together animation. like when your character runs towards his horse and jumps on it like nothing with no real broken parts of animation its amazing. The gun play is awesome with the deadeye system making a return once again saving you from tight situations where you could be by yourself fighting close to 10 armed bandits. The game still has a realistic health function with not being able to take more than 20 shots like a tank but you still feel like you are in even more danger with every shot you take. there is a survival type element where you and your horse cant be sitting there taking shots and be running for long periods of time without eating or resting as that is a part of the game, thats right you actually have to consume items to keep your characters health,stamina,deadeye cores ripe for any chance you are in danger. cause if you are low on stamina you will dramatically slow down having to fight your pursuers without being able to run creating a battle that you were trying to run from making even worse now that you are as slow as an ox. Now talking about story progression, the story in the beginning is the slowest part of the game and mostly the worst but best part of it as you get to see characters you knew and new characters you can get to know, but this introduction could take hours to get past but its worth it. Id highly recommend anyone and i mean anyone even if they dont like westerns to give this game a shot, it isnt a perfect 10/10 but its definitly deserving its 9/10 rating.

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

    This game is visually amazing. I love how you can feel the change in environment as you travel the large open world of Red Dead. It focuses a lot on attention to detail, this may make things take a little longer to do but that just makes things feel more immersive and realistic.

The opening blizzard scene is one of the most graphically stunning set pieces ever and throughtout the game you are treated with incredibly detailed environments that will make you stop and admire more than a handful of times. The gameplay feels a little clunky at first but after a couple hours into the game you will get a hang of the controls and it becomes extremely rewarding, seamlessly blending in a mix of the dive button, sliding into cover, duel weilding revolvers and fantastic execution animations that trigger when youre grappling or close to an enemy. The horse bonding and controls are the best thats ever been seen in a video game...but what truly makes this game stand out are the characters and the gang. Rockstar has created a game rich with compelling and complex characters that go through incredible amounts of character development over the course of the nearly 60+ hour story mode. Micah Bell is the King Geoffrey if videogames, you love to hate him. Suprisingly Arthur Morgan is one of my favorite video game characters ever. right up there with the likes of Joel and Ellie from the last of us and Kratos and Atreus from God of War. Now the story does start very slow and one of the last chapters becomes a very slow and tedious grind but its one i didnt mind because i enjoyed the characters and story so much (some gamers will find it annoying though). Overall this game is without a doubt, one of the greatest video games ever made and rockstar deserves to be applauded for their efforts. Every gamer needs to experience this game. I give it an easy 10/10. Expand

Red Dead Redemption 2 is a hallmark of gaming with a truly lived in world a amazing story held together by a amazing cast of characters especially the protagonist Arthur Morgan. I won't go into any spoilers in my review, I should also inform you that my performance will vary from some users because I played on a Xbox One X. Lets start with the black sheep the slow opening a very long tutorial and beginning which is surprising to say the least while I did prefer this long opening I also know that some players will be turned off by this so fair warning. Players not used to slow paces and are used to the incredibly fast paced of a game such Grand Theft Auto might not feel entirely at home here. Needless to say though that doesn't change the beauty of this game and the detail in the world and how it builds not just in the world itself but in total with NPC's and the story. The new NPC system in place speaking of is a little barebones at times and can end in some mishaps but works most of the time with that in mind I also need to bring up a hallmark of Rockstar games clunky controls and sometimes bad contextual commands. It doesn't break the game and I am mainly speaking on the horses when I speak on the clunky controls. Moving past the controls is the gunplay it is better that GTA 5's and its predecessor's with a interesting focus mechanic needing to be able to relax yourself to get the most accurate shot. This would make the game more of a challenge if the enemies in the game were more accurate. The final thing I would like to touch on is the story and it is beautiful no other word describes it I won't go into any spoilers but the games story alone makes the 60$ price tag worth it in my opinion. This is the first review I've ever written on metacritic I hope that it helps people in deciding on if this game is for them. In My opinion this is the best game so far this year. Expand

    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!

By that, I don't mean that you should review the game based on your first impressions. If so, then you don't know how to review a game. Period. Second of all, the majority did not know that one can customize their controls based on their play-style: It could include adjustments in sensibility, button mapping, camera angle, first-person mode adjustments, etc. Always go to the settings before starting the actual game and adjust your controls. Experiment what's best, thus, making the game more fluid, and less bad reviews would appear because they actually read this comment. What I'm trying to say is that one has to solve their own issue with the game, or something that it might throw off their desire of continuing playing Red Dead Redemption 2. If it's something that's based on controls, which is what most of the bad reviews were concerned about, then solve it first in-game before criticizing stuff that doesn't make sense. That goes for the people who doesn't know how to actually play a game. It's disappointing seeing the majority like that.

    Now, I'm my opinion, this game has solid graphics, fixed cinematics, enjoyable gameplay and can't wait for the online beta. That's all. Simple.

But then I played the game. It's good, for sure. I firmly believe the game is enjoyable and worth the price of admission, but it's a far cry from the perfect experience many reviewers have lauded it as. The plethora of systems is staggering and fun for the most part, but when the way you interact with those systems is so convoluted, it takes a lot of the enjoyment out of the game.

    An example; the simple act of healing is so involved that you need an actual tutorial to teach you how to do it. You have to hold a button, press another button, move the control stick in a specific direction, push yet another button to select the item you want to use, then release the first button. Something that should be so simple and second nature has been funnelled through an overly complicated and esoteric control scheme. I wish I could say that's the only example of poor design, but it's one of many. The clunky movement system, the AI unreliability, animation issues, bugs aplenty, the list goes on.

    I sound like I hate the game, but I promise I don't. It's a good time and enjoyable. It's worth paying the $60 just for the expansive environment and enjoyable activities. It's just that I couldn't in good conscience give it a perfect score like many of the reviewers that drink the Rockstar Kool-aid.

    This will be a short review pertaining to the campaign. I will give some brief thoughts on the multiplayer at the end. First I have to say that I originally wrote a review for this game and gave it a 9 and mostly complained about nit-picky things; after my second play through of the campaign I read it, was embarrassed by it, and took it down.

    This game is a masterpiece. It tells a beautiful story full of character and emotion that is rarely seen in any entertainment medium. There are moments that are so wonderfully crafted that I daresay even the most cynical of individuals won’t help but become a little emotional. The music is perfect and only present when it needs to be adding poignancy to highlight just the right moments at the just the right time.

    The world feels alive and is absolutely beautiful – I’ve played this game on both the One X and PS4 Pro and it looks fantastic on both. This is a world that truly feels like it is living and breathing and just asking to be explored. There are tons of side activities from side missions, to hunting and fishing, poker, dominos and more. Or you might just find yourself wandering around the world admiring the hard work that went into creating its beauty.

    The cast, the writing and the acting is all some of the best there has ever been. There are a few little systems in the game that sometimes feel like more of a chore than fun, but they are over shadowed by the brilliance of the world and story.

    If you are fan of story driven games this is a must play. Hell, if you are a fan of video games this is a must play. By any objective standard it is brilliantly crafted. Even if you find you aren’t a fan of the subject elements this is not a game that would leave you feeling like you wasted your money. Support this game – games like this need to be supported, they don’t come along very often. It’s just brilliant.

    I have been playing the multiplayer since its “full release”. It is okay but still needs some work. The content feels lacking and there are still plenty of bugs, also the grind is real. I am not sure I will stick with it, but then again multiplayer isn’t my preferred genre – you may love it.

    A little too slow
    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.

    May be one of the best games ever. Why give it only a 9 then? Here I list the reasons. A non-haters view of why this game isn't perfect. In fact there are very many negatives, enough to give any other game a much lower score. But what this game does right is so amazing it almost completely negates the negatives, but not quite. Here is what I didn't like:

    1) Controls are very clunky. Clunky controls are to Rockstar games what bugs are to Bethesda games. Every game you hope they improve but they never do

    2) Inventory is very unwieldy. Don't get me wrong I love how they try to make it a bit more realistic by tying some of it to your horse (only for weapons though). But it never seems to remember my preferences of what guns to carry and there is no way to see a list of your inventory. You must cycle through one item at a time and the organization is very poor. Also, it lets you carry way too much for realism. I had an entire store full of items in my satchel most of the time.

    3) Combat difficulty was way too easy. Default auto-aim makes shooting trivial (and turning it off makes horseback shooting nearly impossible so that really isn't an option either). The near infinite supplies of instant-heal tonics/provisions while in battle makes it even more trivial

    4) Money was way too easy to accumulate. Made the "struggling to survive" vibe and dialogue pretty laughable when I had thousands of dollars on me by early mid-game (even after fully upgrading the camp)

    5) No real endgame after you beat the missions. Sure hunting and collecting exists but it would have really benefited from a ranch-building/upgrading mechanic (I think they are planning on adding this in online mode) to give purpose to keep going and earning more money. Despite the amazingness of the world I kind of need a purpose to play on other than creating chaos or goofing around. The money I had at the end was basically infinite so no need to earn more

    6) They don't really let you play an evil character. Sure you can kill innocent randoms but in terms of the missions and story characters you essentially are always this noble good guy. I guess because the SJW's would complain too much if it let you, for instance, not side with the Indians or suffragettes or ex-slaves. It would be refreshing to have the option to side with the army against the Indians for instance. In classic fantasy games you can side with evil factions but, again, the historical context I guess makes it too hard in this SJW world now. Rockstar used to have more balls but even they have cowed to the pressure these days and made being a true jerk impossible

    Problems 2, 3, and 4 above could probably be solved with some kind of hardcore mode, where inventory is limited, money is way tighter, heals are limited, and there is an actual death penalty. But there is no hardcore mode. My guess is they are saving that for online (where they hope to make more money with microtransactions probably).

    But anyway, these are a lot of problems. But I still highly recommend playing this the world is so realistic it kind of boggles the mind, and the story was very well done as well. The struggling bandit vibe was awesome but would have been better if they made money harder to obtain. And the graphics are the best I've ever seen (on XboxOne X)

The story is exciting, humorous, and tragic. Crying at least a couple of times through this game is a real possibility.

    The gameplay can seem a little slow and methodical at first, but eventually you get into the intentionally lazy pace and it gives you time to appreciate the gorgeous sights around you.

    This is a beautiful game, especially on the Xbox One X. The graphical detail is astounding. If you’re playing on 4K HDR, there are HDR settings in the menu, but they’re not perfect. The lighting is muted in cinematic mode, so set it to gaming mode and you’ll have to push your white levels up pretty high to get a good balance.

    While the game is impressive, it isn’t perfect. It comes pretty damn close though. A year after launch and I have not played it again since my first run through, and I haven’t played the online multiplayer since the day it launched. You’ll have to read another review to find out how that is going now. This is a single player game first. If you enjoyed Red Dead Redemption, I cant imagine you not liking this game.

Le maniement est en effet ici d’une lourdeur sans précédent, non seulement en raison des commandes mal pensées et mal disposées mais surtout à cause du personnage lui-même : on a toujours l’impression de diriger péniblement un semi-remorque sévèrement imbibé et chargé ras la gueule…

    Il faut constater l’inertie de ce gros con d’Arthur Morgan qui met trois plombes pour accomplir la moindre action… y compris fouiller un cadavre (en maintenant Y) ou bien une commode (en maintenant… X ?! -cf les commandes pensées en dépit du bon sens le plus élémentaire !). Il faut le voir marcher à 0,5 à l’heure et tenter de courir… à 2 à l’heure ou bien… recharger ou changer de flingue… putain !).

    Son canasson est un vrai tocard et e retrouve logé à la même enseigne : pour faire avancer ou tenter de faire cavaler cette bourrique, c’est une purge ! et ce n’est pas tout, car il faut aussi nourrir le gars, laver le bourrin, nettoyer les flingues… et puis quoi encore ? on hallucine… Dans ces conditions, dire que le jeu est ‘lent’ (!) tient d’un doux euphémisme : il se traîne le cul comme un escargot en PLS (position latérale de sécurité après une cuite).

    Car l’histoire,les dialogues à n’en plus finir, les cinématiques pour un oui ou pour un non, tout cela n’avance pas d’un poil de cul ou si peu… Monsieur Morgan et son équipe de bras cassés ont tous deux de tension alors que les missions extrêmement scriptées, dirigistes et psycho-rigides n’offrent aucune liberté d’action.

    Une attaque de train ? si tu colles pas au cul de l’un tes collègues, il se fait refroidir et t’es bon pour recommencer du point de passage. On hallucine. Et bien sûr, si le jeu n’est pas vilain graphiquement, on attend toujours une optimisation X|S… qui ne viendra jamais sauf pour repasser à la caisse, car chez Rocktarte, on est des rapaces confirmés. Et toujours pas de doublage français non plus… évidemment.

    Alors, soit-disant… un monde ouvert, ce machin ? cette blague ! le didacticiel, il dure 50h ou bien…? on se fout de notre gueule, chez Rocktarte ? Quant à la chasse par exemple, c’est le truc le plus mal fait qu’on ait jamais vu… sans compter les QTE qu’on peut certes convertir en maintien de touche mais tout de même… et d’ailleurs, on passe son temps à maintenir des touches dans cette merde, au fil des scripts pourris ici et là.

    Bref, on l’a compris, ce gros paquet de merde (qui s’étale sur… 123 Go !) et qui ne te laisse jamais sauvegarder est le jeu le plus lourdingue, le plus endormi et le plus casse-couilles que la terre ait jamais porté ! je lui pisse à la raie et lui chie dans le cou, point barre.

    Once in a while a game comes along that I would consider special. Arthur Morgans turbulent journey through the wild west is long, arduous, heart breaking and ultimately a journey that I won't be forgetting any time soon. After spending 50 hours taking the game to its melancholy conclusion I can only think back on the tremendous feat Rockstar have accomplished with their latest magnum opus.Once in a while a game comes along that I would consider special.

After spending 50 hours taking the game to its melancholy conclusion I can only think back on the tremendous feat Rockstar have accomplished with their latest magnum opus.

    The world feels vast and lived in, the characters well developed and the musical score that envelopes you is subtle, perfect and never overbearing. The gameplay has its quirks, the combat is not quite as fluid as you would sometimes want and you will fall off your horse after slamming into a tree on occasion but this never detracted from the immersion. It is very easy to forgive RDR2's little quirks when the story being told is so perfectly executed and the connection with your character so strong, largely down to a stand out performance from Roger Clark who spent years recording dialogue and motion capture for Arthur.

    If you didn't like RDR1 then I'm afraid this isn't going to change your mind. However, if you're ready to go on one last ride then saddle up and experience one of the most emotionally rewarding games in recent memory. It might not end how you expect......but that's the way it is.

The characters are amazing, the story is gripping, the details are awesome... And of course the graphics of this Red dead Redemption 2 are so stunning that i'd dare to say that it is at the top of this generation... The game is just gorgeous. However, the game is not perfect. Some secundary missions are dull and some of the tasks you've to do to get the 100% either, in adittion, in despite of the map is huge there is a big part of it empty; with nothing interesting to do. But the worst part of the game it's clearly the online mode... Which has nothing to do with other Rockstar games like Grand Theft Auto. Expand

    The world is so alive in this game. This is truly an open world game worthy of the title. You have agency in this game. You can interact with someone, leave, show up a week or so later and see observable changes in the town because of your interference.

    The dialogue is fantastic, the voice acting is fantastic. The shooting is sub par and the inclusion of the bullet time mechanic

    The dialogue is fantastic, the voice acting is fantastic. The shooting is sub par and the inclusion of the bullet time mechanic alleviates this somewhat.

    It can be slow at times. Very slow. Even as someone who enjoys dialogue and horse riding and beautiful scenery it gets a little old. There's a reason most games skip travel sequences - because they're often not memorable or meaningful.

    There's something for everybody in this game. I'd definitely pick it up but I wouldn't trust the 10/10 reviews. It's far from a perfect game.

    theres not much to play here which is kind of a crucial omission if you want to make a game. the animations are so painfully slow with seconds of startup frames for almost anything you do. wanna run with more than one person around? froget that you´ll be bumping into them racking up bounty on your head. also the controls and menus are redicoulous i can´t imagine what they were smoking when coming up with this nonsense. you wanna find cover? great let´s make the take cover and leave cover button the same button so that 90 percent of the time you´ll be climbing on top of something you were planning to take cover behind which leaves you exposed to gunfire and liable to get killed immideately. you might wanna load your game after dying but hold on we can´t have that you might think you saved your game in a specific state but you´d be sadly mistaken about that you´ll be put kind of in the general area from where you saved if you´re lucky.
    so on my way back to where you actually saved you come across a legendary animal for hunting put the pelt on your horse and on you go. io then saw that my bounty hunting target was the ways as well so lasso the guy and put him on your horse but wait. we can´t have you have 2 things on your horse no no you have to leave the legendary pelt somewhere in the middle of nowhere for the first half the game theres no quick travel and even then it´s pretty useless so 95% of the time youll be riding around doing nothing. most of the game feels like tedious work why would you want that when playing a game?

Online: although a bit laggy and the occasional glitch occurs it’s always good fun to start a town shoot out or steal a stage coach with your friends, although there’s not as many random encounters in online it still has a little story in it as well, it could be better but then again at the time of this review it’s good for a beta. ascetics: beautiful, just beautiful I have no words except it looks Gorgeous.

Arthur (and therefore, the world) feels like an extension of your body - which is a sensation rarely achieved by a game - and is due in large part to hyper-realistic physics, wonderfully obsessive attention to detail, soundtrack, and the arduously crafted gameplay mechanics. Whether all of this means hunkering down for an all-day play marathon and wrapping yourself in sensory and mental ecstasy, or finding the quickest ways to get from A to B because a horse can only gallop so fast, is up to the individual.
    The story holds a solidly perfect number of main missions that leave nothing untold or shrouded in excess mystery. Side missions, challenges, points of interest, profound and complicated characters, and miles-long checklists add a heap of extra depth to an unfathomably deep game, making it a never-ending legacy and a completionist's dream.
    Emotional attachment to characters could nearly be stated as a warning and disclaimer on the box - in fact, I don't think I've ever felt so many emotions in the course of any one game. This aspect is heightened by the organic mechanics and beautiful, next-generation world design. If you have trouble expressing your emotions, here's a solution: lock yourself up in a room and take a long gander at this game.

    Richly gorgeous, mesmerizing, thought-provoking, and utterly alive, Red Dead Redemption 2 is fast becoming a beloved trophy for many gamers, and has already staked out its claim on the collective heart of the gaming industry.

    The fishing system is relaxing and cool but i think that takes too long to catch big fishes but i may be a bad fisherman (have to watch videos to see if im doing something wrong), but its also one of the best parts of the game.
    The gather system is good and varied.
    The crafting system is varied but not very easy to understand because of its many vendors, ingredients, i think it could be arranged in a better way but also its the best i ever seen and one of the best things in the game.
    All of those systems and other parts of the game are negatively compromised by the long animations (they should still exist but be skippable), there should be a hard mode with some options to choose like less loot, slightly less animals to hunt, necessity to eat and sleep and so on, all of this you could choose separately and not as a single thing like on farcry primal.
    The graphics are amazing, the weather, light is superb an also the architecture and map details.
    There are many glitches specially on horse when u try to jump something and u don't...
    The story is... well, i don't liked the major change who occurs i the end of chapter 6, its very... annoying in the post game.
    Some missions are great, other not at all like chapter 5 who appears to be taken from a farcry game, completely different from the previous chapters who looks like a more mature (and better) game.
    The weapons are excellent visually, really great, its variety and the fact they are not excessively more powerful than other is great. BUT the weapon system... god lord... they could have made as simple as farcry when u can store all weapons on your house and choose one of each to walk around and don't force you to search around dozens of different weapons every minute or even allow you to sell them what would be perfect (is that ask for too much?) this is the single most annoying thing on this game, without this problem this game would be much much better.
    Also physics are interesting, like walking on snow or mud is great but for example when you aim and between you and your target there is an object but you see that the projectile trajectory wouldn't pass trough that object but even so the shot hits it its frustrating.
    I would give a 9 but its frustrating and irritating when companies make very good games with small annoying problems who are never solved like The Witcher with the movement problem on console, that like they don't care about the costumer because the game is already a success and the are swimming on money.

    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.
