Feb 4, 2022The devs or RDR2 made one big mistake: they confused realism for immersion. THIS IS WRONG.

Mar 16, 2023Biggest cinematic walking simulator there is on the market. You play videogames to escape reality so why have they do everything so slow... we demand innovation do something creative no one did befor but NOOOO! If you want a good sleep a cure for your "Insomnia" then go ahead and "play" RDR2.

Nov 29, 2018Horribly clunky controls paired with overly hostile npcs that punish you for defending yourself makes for an unenjoyable single player experience. The multiplayer is ruined by E.A grade greed the same as gta . Don't give these jokers any money if they just want to be EA clones.

Dec 20, 2018The game is amazingly boring. You move at a pace that is roughly 7/10s the speed of a normal human in all situations except for the 1 second gunfights where you apparently take all that stored speed and stop time to kill 9 people in a fraction of a second. The entire game is basically following someone on a horse at walking speed while they tell you stories you probably aren't going to listen to
-
Mar 22, 2019This game is not even fun. At all. I'd rather just live real life. I'd rather go to work than play this game. I literally fall asleep with controller in hand, lol.

Dec 16, 2018Incredibly easy and repetitive. Just walk around tapping aim and shoot, everything dies, no need for taking any cover. Graphics are par at best compared to other new releases. Incredibly buggy.
-
Feb 18, 2019For Genre: Action Adventure - RDR2 is boring as hell !!! Fortunately, I didn't buy it as preorder.

Jan 6, 2019This game is shockingly boring for long stretches. It's not just the time spent riding from one place to another that's boring, most missions are a grind that are barley padded by hack-y dialogue as well. The shooting mechanics are impressively clunky as well. Unless you have endless time to waste in order to be genuinely entertained 5% of the time, you should save your time
-
Jan 19, 2019Graphics are good..well, that's it basically. Highly overrated. Red Dead redemption ONE is much much better
-
Dec 25, 2018boring long horse-riding simulator
instead of telling 20 hours story, they forced you to ride horse 25 hours and there we have a 45 hours of story content.
gunfight is super lame, clunky and animations are worst of 2018 games -

Nov 16, 2018Wonderfull world, weather effects, sunsets, sunrises, birds, horses, foxes etc. But this is not a fun game, this is interactive boring movie with animal reference guide and awkward controls/inventory/crafting.
P.S. I'm a big fan of RDR. But this game is a great disappointment.
P.P.S. It's necessary to eat, but it's not necessary to go to the toilet, this is strange. Waiting for patches. -

Jan 27, 2020The game is painfully boring.
Great graphics, but at this point being wowed from the graphics are not what I consider as a strong contender for GOTY.
Clunky control, every good gaming design practices are buried deep down for the sake of realism, so much of that it takes realism away from me.
I didn't feel a thing for the story.
Over-hyped product. Period. -
Feb 4, 2020The game is extremely boring, takes you for ever to do anything. is just gta 5 in the wild west but without the freedom and the entertainment that gta series provide.

Jul 11, 2020Amazing graphics, sound design and voice acting doesn't save RDR2 from being one of the worst gaming experiences I've ever had.
RDR2's gameplay, mission design and UI is bad – but the story is by far the worst part. The game's repetitive, slow and depressing story basically spends 60 hours moving in circles only to recycle the themes from the first game. Major disappointment. -
Nov 10, 2022Could not get into this game. Tried playing 2 different times and could only get a few hours in. I know some games take more time to develop but the gameplay was just okay and not good enough to keep me interested.

Nov 14, 2018Ironically unoriginal and disappointing. If this is your first time playing a Rockstar game, then have fun. For those who have played the original, at least, there's no innovation here. Tedious and dull.

Nov 16, 2018the laggiest game ever atm. greedy publisher. plastic world. stop feeding the rockstar troll.

Nov 26, 2018Literally one of the worst games I've ever played. Got bored of this **** game after a day of playing. If this is truly the best the industry has to offer, the gaming industry is in gigantic trouble and needs to gets its head of its own ass.
Played on Xbox One X. -

Mar 27, 2019Honestly one of the most boring games I've ever played. If you survive the intro, congrats just hours more tedious work to go.
Online, man i spent longer trying to login to GTAV than playing RD2 Online. No sustenance there for you either.
Whoah Boy, just my opinion. -
Jun 26, 2019- Boring lame chorefest
- Clunky gameplay
- Unbearable input lag
- Horrifying interface
- Unnerving AI
Great graphics tho. -

-
Mar 5, 2019Overhyped trash that got a higher score than God of War cause of the shills of this industry but still could not even win the Game of the Year award because truth be told, it wouldn't have deserved it. Rockstar have lost their edge and San Andreas is still to this day their best game they ever created.

Dec 28, 2018This game suffers in all regards except for visuals. That cannot carry what is essentially the biggest disappointment for me in all of video games. To be honest my expectations weren't all that high to begin with. This is just sad, all the poor video game design choices that could be made, were made.
-
Feb 4, 2019A beautifully realised, but utterly boring, case study in how too much emphasis on realism oft comes at the expense of enjoyment. You can only gaze at the vistas so many times before you want the horse to just hurry the f**k up and get there already.

Nov 23, 2018This game is boring. The graphics are very good but the story is too slow. I'm going to play COD, it's the best game.

Dec 23, 2018It feels like the game keeps punishing me. Didn't I pay for this? One lucky shot after getting legendary hides and the game takes them. The game design is creepy and controlling. I'm an adult and my time is valuable. Wasting it grinding only to have it taken away by chance is lame. So much is good about this game but me and my friends agree it is unplayable. It feels like work.

Jan 24, 2019Super slow paced and heavily scripted, with average graphics, clunky mechanics and a confusing, choresome health and stamina metering and maintenance system. I want my money back.

Nov 20, 2020I had no fun during my entire playthrough - everything felt like a chore. Controls are just terrible and make you wanna pull your hair out.
This game requires no skill. If you find fun in pressing a button and watching an animation this may be a game for you.
Graphics and engine features are the only good things here. -

Mar 25, 2019Sry this is not a Game where you Can have fun with it. it is a Movie. Graphic is good but the gunplay etc. is Bad.
-
Feb 18, 2019Looks good, but very slow-paced story and just a bit boring....nothing to get too excited about to be honest...It is worth playing but don't expect an amazing game as they claim it to be......it is an OK game...I traded this with 4 friends and played other games.....not even one of them made so much progress and got bored just like i did.
-
Dec 8, 2019Since the game's release I have always had this error in multiplayer mode: 0x20010006... I can't play even 10 minutes without being disconnected

Jan 3, 2019A good single player but, tis is only a part of the game: The online (Red Dead Online) game feels like a mobile game, like a pay to win game. I won't buy it again.

Dec 15, 2019Потерять 850$ за 10 минут игры, будучи убитым 6 раз от выстрелов законников, которые появляются внезапно за твоей спиной и стреляют очередью из 7ми пуль с меткостью 100% ? Спасибо, дайте две !
-
Dec 22, 2019This just shows you that users have more accurate ratings than critics. User reviews were higher for original, which I totally agree. While critics reviews gave "2" a higher score, totally disagree. I gave this game a 4 and would give the original a 9. Everything that was great in original has been removed and replaced with terrible content. What are these critics thinking?
-
Feb 5, 2020Boring gameplay, Auto-aim shooting, long cutscenes, unnecesary tedious tasks that count as gameplay. This game's hype was based on mediocre and bad gameplay. Don't buy.
-
Jan 16, 2020Bunch of bugs, no animal spawn, costant crashes, more and more bugs after each update, instead adding new content they add more clothes... Rockstar selling game in beta stage for full price. ROCKSTAR FIX YOUR GAME.

Apr 15, 2020One of the most boring game i've ever played. Games are supposed to be fun; and rdr2 is not. The walking is so slow, also you ride the horse 50% of the game. Highly overrated
-
Jun 21, 2020This game is nothing like the original. So boring! I got the most expensive version of this game with all the extra content. Why? Because I love Red Dead! I almost couldn’t finish the game, but I figured since I paid for it then that’s the least I had to do.

CD-ActionNov 14, 2019It’s an huge, outstanding piece of art – worth the hard-earned cash as well as countless hours that are needed to get to know at least some of the attractions of Rockstar’s rendition of Wild West. For those who put story first – the biggest virtue of Red Dead Redemption 2 is that it sets the stage for RDR 1 and does it wonderfully. [13/2018, p.40]
-
LEVEL (Czech Republic)Dec 31, 2018Amazing not only for Western lovers. No other game has probably offered so many options to express yourself in the open world, and at the same time did not have such an interesting, rough and moving story. A magnificent experience, with a slightly slower start. [Issue#291]

Nov 30, 2018The first new game from Rockstar for this generation of consoles doesn't disappoint, it is as impressive as you hoped it to be.
