Red Dead Redemption 2 Review Thread

MC dividing the game but platform when they're basically the same is stupid. They should do it like Opencritic.
Towns in RDR1 were a nightmare even on the 360. I'm not too fussed.
I'd like to know this as well. Can't check out the DF video right now.
Ahh didn't realise there was a thread.
Or how they actually feel? Never will I understands the gamer rage at a random review that goes against the grain.
I'd bet almost anything you wouldn't actually read the thing before posting that.
I got the game today and I play on a launch PS4. The game is beautiful and runs fine. I've noticed a few framerate drops here and there but nothing too distracting. For disclosure: I usually don't give a hoot about FPS unless it is Doom or Devil May Cry.
Jesus at all the ridiculous chatter about highest rated game of all time. I swear to god lol. People are so naive.
Game looks great, but these lists are stupid as anything ever created. The people that worship them are weird.

Maybe, just maybe, consider this insane possibility for a moment: the reviewer didn't like it as much as other reviewers
Greg Miller not enjoying it is a bit of a downer for me. Usually agree with him on pretty much everything. He loves Odyssey.
More and more I find my tastes getting vastly different from Greg's.
I began listening to Beyond like a decade ago because he and Colin would talk about games I liked, and we were on the same page.
But now I see this, and his constant gushing for stuff like The Division or Assassin's Creed Odyssey, and how he likes games that are essentially collect-a-thons because he can "check stuff off a list" and it's really gotten me to move more toward Easy Allies lately.
Oh yeah, it looks fantastic! Just a bit worried about performance.
Why would you expect every single person in the world to enjoy this as a 9+ game? Of course some people won't like it (even though the Slant writer did like it). It will probably be an 8 at best for me since I expect the gameplay to be poor.
Diverse opinions are good.
Yes they do.

A 10\10 doesn't mean the game is perfect.
A comment from someone at Digital Foundry on the DF analysis topic of the game.

Anything about side quests or most reviews didn't manage to dig into them yet?
Variety review by Arthur Gies 4.5/5

Greg doesn't really officially review things. He plays things and makes content and gives his thoughts. If he played a good chunk of the game, but didn't enjoy it, why would he play tons more? He works for himself. He didn't sign some contracting requiring him to create a review and finish the game.
Tomorrow is going to be a great say for gaming.
2017-2018 has been two amazing years for gaming: Persona 5, Zelda, Mario Odyssey, God of War and now RDR2.
I'm salivating and not for the 96-97 or whatever. Most of the reviews are highlighting this game as the best one in terms of technical achievement and realism. Can't wait to jump in.

I will remember this console generation for decades.
Probably too slow paced for him, or maybe too much micromanagement? This is a more survival/realistic game than most open worlds. It's the exact opposite of games like InFamous or AssCreed.

It's what these lists do to fanboys and kids. They make them think the game needs to be perfect, and every single person needs to agree that it is perfect. And the game that is the closest to that ideal is the bestest.
And the base PS4/Xbox One both look fantastic too, minor performance issues in densest urban areas
Recommend the Eurogamer review for those looking for the more critical takes. Reads a bit unintentionally nitpicky and unclear at times but the gist of what he considers to be the game's lesser aspects (and its best) and why comes through. Always a valuable perspective with a game as hyped as this one.
Also contains a juicy BOTW/Witcher 3 comparison at the end if you guys need some oil for Era's GOTG debate fires.

It's ridiculous watching fans on messageboards trash a reviewer if they don't give glowing praise and hyperbole to game the fans haven't even played.
This is a Rockstar open world game. It's going to have all the problems that entails.
Critics always go wild for Rockstar games, but the trailers showcase all of the clunkiness and terrible dialogue that are a staple of these games now.

Jesus, it just still keeps going.
I was closer with my 102 Meta prediction than many itt!
It's funny because they always put lower scores than the meta ones

I did side quests up until halfway, then I had to sprint through. They're not that different from the main story quests.
what if a game is actually better on a different platform? skyrim on PC is basically a different game
Interesting. Maybe Arthur isn't as malleable as I thought he'd be.
