Man, the fact that this game even exist is mind boggling., This is the best open world ever made, and might just be the best written game ever.
I'm not even past chapter 2 btw, but the characters feel so fucking real, it's like they're really real. Arthur is such an amazing protagonist so far
One thing I'm wondering is how the hell did rockstar not make an 60fps patch for the current gen consoles? The game looks downright incredible but the 30fps cap is definitely an issue

30 fps is commercially accurate.

They will sell you a re-release at 60FPS for PS6, don't you worry. And yeah, game feels amazing on PC with higher frame rate. Definitely a game changer, even more so than in other 3rd person action games.

 

[hyperbertha]

Its the most predictable story ever made. Doubly so with rdr1 starting where it left. Open world is great but not the best. Play some good games guy.

I adored RDR2, and honestly after RDR1 I didn't know how it would stack up. Still had some outstanding moments, great writing, music, and characters. It was a great package for sure. My only issue was that there was one part of the campaign that kind of slowed down big time for me, so it felt kind of like a slog to get through. Fortunately right after getting through that it picked back up and didn't stop. Didn't change how I felt about it in the end though, one of the all times IMO, just like RDR1.

 

[FunkMiller]

Rockstar employees really aren't worked hard enough.

 

[Fools idol]

It's the most incredible game I will never replay.

 

[StueyDuck]

It's hard to argue against facts

Truly is the best game made in a long long long time, shame devs never took any ideas or ambition from its design

 

[oji-san]

60fps patch! 60fps patch! 60fps patch! Do it! I'll pay!

 

[X-Wing]

The game is very slow in the beginning, some animations are exaggerated and make even the simplest task take a lot of time, especially if played in 30 FPS.
It’s a good game though .

 

[BbMajor7th]

60fps patch! 60fps patch! 60fps patch! Do it! I'll pay!

GTA V never got a Pro/1X patch. That's how few fucks R* give.

On topic: RDR2 is like an eight-minute shred guitar solo, it's really impressive and hard to replicate, but it goes on way too long and it's hard to escape the impression that it's more for their benefit than yours.

 

[Chuck Berry]

It really is. Sometimes it’s like I can smell the fucking world.

 

[KingXtreme81]

Best game ever made, IMO.

 

[DeepEnigma]

30 fps is commercially accurate.

It's a creative choice.

 

[Impotaku]

Gotta love riding a garbage horse that has all the control of a wheelchair on ice. If there was a glue factory in that world i would have dropped it off right at the beginning. Got tired of wrestling with the stupid controls it made playing a chore to the point i eventually dropped it.

 

[Danjin44]

This game is great for people who only care about visuals and nothing else. Fuck actual gameplay, mission design and controls…..graphics is the only thing that matters……basically this is graphic whores wet dream.

 

[TVexperto]

just wait til you play the sequel, it comes out this week for ps4 and switch

The horses controlled great. They were all different depending on the size and breed.

You want fast and turn on a dime, then get the Arabian in the beginning like most people did.

I prefer the Foxtrotter, however. Less skittish and still fast and controls great. Larger stature as well.

 

[Robb]

It is incredible at what it aims to do, just too bad it’s an absolute slog to play.

I swear mine was drunk it used to swerve all over the damn place to the point it actually fucked up some of the missions. Looks like i got the wish.com starting horse.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Obligatory draw distances are insane for a game that came out on PS4.

 

[DeepEnigma]

The starting horse was not that good, no. Hence the better horses for the scenarios.

 

[Hudo]

Oh god...

 

[Chuck Berry]

I had way worse luck with horses running into trees and accidentally off cliffs in RDR1. They felt alot looser to me regardless of breed.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

I mean it’s a prequel, there’s only so much they can do with the story.

The open world is amazing. Game just needed to be a bit shorter. Same situation as Days Gone.

 

[existensmaximum]

The story gets super convoluted and nowhere near as good as in the first game. Same goes with the protagonist, could they have picked a guy with less personality?

Also, too bad they removed the humour and added quite a bit of wokeness that feels really out of place in that era.

 

[Kakax11]

Way too slow for me, but amazing game

Literally me, seeing the title thread :

What you have to do as well in RDR2 when in a forest at full speed (not used to controlling a horse as a noob), is take your hands off the control stick unless you need to actually move the horse for something. The horse will not run into trees or trip on objects if left to their own awareness. It's only when you try to control the horse and you accidently force it to smack a tree or trip on a rock or log, lol.

Once you have the horses down, then full control with minimal errors can be achieved, with a random user error here and there, lol.

 

[cash_longfellow]

They will sell you a re-release at 60FPS for PS6, don't you worry. And yeah, game feels amazing on PC with higher frame rate. Definitely a game changer, even more so than in other 3rd person action games.

Correction, they will sell you the same game at 30fps for full price on ps6.

 

[The Cockatrice]

could they have picked a guy with less personality?

Spoken like someone who hasnt played the game. No way anyone legit has this opinion after finishing the game. Even if you dont like the game, the characters are absolute top notch.

 

[rodrigolfp]

Innovative gameplay systems like what, for example?

You already responded to yourself when you called the game "incredible/mind blowing/etc".

 

[winjer]

Looks amazing, but gamepplay and story were very lacking.

Doing that as well as knowing when to tap R1 is the key

 

[Hugare]

This game proves that people care about production values more than anything else

RDR 1 is better in pretty much every regard but graphics. It's even more satisfying in terms of gameplay, despite being from 2010.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Agreed, Arthur Morgan is one of the best protags in gaming, ever. Especially with the personality variations of playing outlaw or honorable and how the world and camp members react to you.

The story isn't great but I won't accept any Arthur slander my man

 

[thatJohann]

I found the game a chore to play. Yuck.

 

[phant0m]

It is incredible at what it aims to do, just too bad it’s an absolute slog to play.

yup. in-mission it was incredible, but all of the "downtime" / in between stuff felt like such a chore

 

[SmokedMeat]

What an incredible experience. Riding a horse in Witcher 3 and Assassin’s Creed felt like driving cars afterwards.

 

[Kerotan]

It is but they should get the death penalty for no 60fps ps5 patch or even a next Gen remaster sold for a commercially viable upgrade price like with GTA V.

 

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

Unless they fixed it from first release, this game had one of the worst HDR implementations i ever dealt with. No matter what i did it was always bright and super washed out, and it was the only game on my tv (at the time ) that had this issue.

 

[Putonahappyface]

60fps patch! 60fps patch! 60fps patch! Do it! I'll pay!

Also a new game plus!

 

[Sleepwalker]

The journey you go through as Arthur is just *chef's kiss*. Of course you wouldn't know if you rush the game and don't pay attention to conversation. You can literally set Arthur down a path of redemption or further down into the abyss.

4 years on and no other character has come close, for me.

predictable story lol james cameron says hold my beer. just because it’s predictable doesn’t make it bad.
