Genuinely one of the greatest games ever made. It starts off slow, but the pacing is fricking relentless when shit hits the fan. Kino moment after kino moment
A weaker story than RDR 1. Sluggish gameplay that feels like your character is walking in mud. Boring and pointless gun play. At least the graphics are nice.
>"You fools weren't listening, were you? i showed you mercy, and you mistook it for weakness. Now, i will show strength, and you may mistake it for brutality!" >shit writing
Dialogue is primarily what comprises "writing" in a game like RDR2. If the dialogue is good, which it is, what else is so shit that it brings the entirety of the writing down to "complete shit"?
The decisions that characters make and the events that drive the plot forward, stuff like >Pinkertons visiting their camp multiple times to "warn" them >Micah being accepted into the gang whatsoever >The gang's attitude towards women despite the fact that in RDR1 it was established they passed women around like meat >The laughable attempt to portray Arthur in a sympathetic light when the player has killed hundreds of people in various gruesome ways >Guarma
>The gang's attitude towards women despite the fact that in RDR1 it was established they passed women around like meat
You people are literally insane. Let me guess didn't say Black person enough times either ehh?
visiting their camp multiple times to "warn" them
What, this doesn't happen. They come to the camp once, to barter Dutch turning himself in for the rest of the camp's safety.
If you blatantly didn't understand/didn't play the game no one should bother reading past that d e s u
You'll likely be frustrated by the games structure. Outside of missions you have incredible freedom to do things when and how you please, Then you hit a mission and they really want to tell a specific story so you're often railroaded. You're railroaded in lots of games but you'll really feel here, in part because of how free you are outside of missions
If you don't have a camp member have to come find you because you spent too long in the wild enjoying the game you aren't playing right.
GOAT tier if you get into it.
>amazing graphics, especially for a 5 year old game >great atmosphere >fairly basic, boring and repetitive combat lacking in any complexity >pretty good story and characters, and IMO good writing (at least the banter between camp members and the performances of Dutch and Arthur are fantastic) >extremely linear and restrictive mission design where you have to do exactly what the instruction tooltip says >notoriously sluggish feeling controls/movement unless you play on PC at 100+ fps with Reflex enabled (even then it's just tolerable)
Overall it's a worthwhile experience IMO. But depending on what sort of games you like, you may come away from it not wanting to touch it ever again.
I had a lot of fun in Red Dead Online, a damn shame zoomers can’t take a more personal online experience, thus RDO is stillborn while GTA O is still getting new content.
>100/10 voice acting >Story is whatever >Characters are whatever >Riding around on your horse and seeing nature is pure kino >Antagonizing the shit out of everyone is fun as frick >Challenges can be pretty good >The first missions is a two hour long tutorial that makes the game seem very boring and stale. it's long enough to prevent a refund which is dumb but I get it >Very pretty environment >Decent side quests
Honestly one of the best experiences I've had with a game.
can be pretty good
Mixed bag for me. They repeated some from RDR1 which still go ok, the gambling ones can frick off. I Enjoyed the bandit and survival ones.
There's nothing worse than a game with a huge world that has a mandatory linear story for the first 4 hours. I gave up after 20 minutes. None of the characters were interesting to me, their issues and personalities seemed cliche right off the bat.
I'd rather just watch an old western movie.
For a company that has been making Grand Theft Auto games for 20 years, the gunplay is unintuitive, feels bad. It's not unlearnable. But I just uninstalled it.
Thematic retread of the first game
Walking around and horseriding is tedious but I find the shootan pretty satisfying
Beautiful open world to explore
The last good game Rockstar will ever make
a boring movie

A story with alot of great moments, dialogue and characters and complete shit writing

Yes. Good dialogue, shit writing.

a reaaaaaallly long game that strongly suffers from being a prequel
by the end you will say the word TAHITI in a weird way
>by the end you will say the word TAHITI in a weird way
same with mangoes
red dead redemption, twice
hope you're playing it on PC
I played it on release on ps4, now I'm replaying it on my new PC
this game was made for 1440p 144fps max settings
A solid 7/10 experience
chores
guns and horses don't work right unless you maintain them constantly
every single level up to a campsite or weapon involves a tedious grind
Terrible gameplay, a mid story, and a lot of characters you don't give a shit about.
Long mocapped animation windows that make you feel like you're playing with input delay

a comfy hunting and fishing simulator with stunning graphical fidelity and realism
I unfortunately played too long to refund. The prologue is enough to suck you in, but then you just get dumped into typical 'openworld' rockslop.
