I also love some of the areas people don't really pay attention too in this game.

I love westerns but I’ve tried to play this game on three different occasions and having to fight the controls made me drop it each time.

It's genuinely sad to me that when people are going on about how RDR 2 is the best game ever made (Like many are doing in this thread), they don't mention a single word about the gameplay, general game design of the controls, missions, fluid and not-time-wasting animations, so on...
Because when it comes to RDR 2, there's nothing to talk about there. The GAME part, of this video GAME.
But you guys, knowing that, still proceed to call it the best game ever made, or one of the.
All I will say, is that I hope you play more games...
And... I hate to say stuff like this, but I'm happy that developers aren't listening to you.

Definitely the most intricately crafted open-world ever created with many complex systems that came together perfectly to make the immersion into the wild-west all the easier. Every dev team who is attempting to make an open-world game with high production values should study this game intimately.

Easy, in GAF graphics has more value over everything else, you can have crappy gameplay but it has high tech graphics then all forgiven.
But boy if the graphics don’t meet their standard, they will whine and cry about it multiple threads, like first Elden Ring was coming out.

Nonsense. You didn't enjoy it and that's fair, but don't call others who liked it being disingenuous. See

post in previous page.. that's how i also feel, a bit like Killzone 2 was heavy on movement and it felt good, so does RDR2, are there cons to the game? Yes.. things like skins gets rotten over time is frustrating when you are exploring, but the gameplay to me match the amazing world they created, the shooting is very good to me, i have no reason to pretend i enjoy something i actually don't as i will only be fooling myself.

Whatever... millions of players played it and enjoyed the gameplay but are lying to themselves, ok.
Isn't it more possible that people actually liked the gameplay? i can speak for myself that i liked the combat very much.

I tired of playing as that Yes-Man. Good riddance. Hated the linear mission design, but the open world is jaw droppingly gorgeous. Would like to revisit this gameworld with mods in the future once I have the hardware to run it at max settings.

I didn't miss a thing. To each their own. Thanks! I'm happy for me too!
And I was even more happy to have experienced one of the greatest games of all time.

Same. This was a more laid back game game than a lot of twitchy styled there that I found myself immersed in every single time I played, lost hours of time (over 1,000) in this game. When you master the systems, especially the combat, the game feels highly rewarding as a cowboy simulator.

The comments in this thread have helped me understand the average gaffer better than any other discussion on this whole site.

RDR2 is my all time most favorite game ever. This is coming from someone who has been gaming since 1982. It truly is a masterpiece within this medium. The amazing graphics are just the icing on its cake of awesome. It's a phenomenal experience but I'll add some caveats: I love westerns and nature in general, which makes me biased towards the theme. I played the game 99% of the time in first person view, which I found to be far more immersive than the third person view. So play the game in first person view, with the field of vision slider set to max. Brilliant game.

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

I tried to play the game like 5 times, always lost interested past the first few hours but now on the 6th try I‘m totally addicted to the game, it‘s amazing how authentic the world seems, how R* made a totally believable, lively open world game. And it looks amazing too, unimaginable that it‘s just a PS4 game without a PS5 upgrade.

thinks Halo Infinite is a new graphical benchmark
The focus on the western theme already happened with red dead revolver, you could argue redemption doesn’t evolve the genre. Redemption 2 became about the graphics, pace is important and Redemption 2 breathes heavy.

I tried to get into it recently. It's been in my backlog forever. I appreciate the graphics, character models, the attention to detail, and immersion in the world. However, I struggle with controls and the amount of time investment required. Also, it seems to be another of those highly cinematic games, where you end up spending hour upon hour watching cutscenes. I rarely watch movies as it is, so I certainly don't want to watch the equivalent of 6 movies within one videogame.
Anyhow, I just don't find myself in the mood for a game like this. Maybe some other day.

I liked the first one all the way up to Jack. Did not want to play as Jack, so a backup save is important.

I mean, thats the end....I don't even think of that very much (other than I appreciated the arc).
The vibe of RDR1, to me, was more "western", while RDR2 was more "southern", and yes, that matters. RDR1 felt like I was playing a clint eastwood movie in all of the best ways. RDR2, while absolutely excellent in its own right, felt more...I don't know....forced soap opera.

I meant for "free roam" after. You are locked into Jack and can't have John back.

Look out how the first game ran on PS3 and Xbox 360
Whetever its 30fps or 60fps, people will buy it anywhere.
In 7th gen, games ran like 15-25fps and people still enjoyed it

I know what you meant. I appreciated it for the whole arc...especially the VERY end with Jack (But, like you, would rather play as John).

I got RDR2 and Cyberpunk when they were both like $10 a piece and haven't booted up either one.

Not even close. Try getting a legendary pelt, then get mauled by a bear and lose your horse and the pelt down raging rapids.
The pelt will magically appear in some pelt dealers storeroom for you to pick up killing all immersion.
Also hunting and faffing about with your tent and appearance are boring.
