I'm enjoying it

1. Controls
2. Controls
3. Mundane tasks (not too bad, but kinda annoying and tend to be optional)

I haven’t ever played a perfect game . I thoroughly enjoy Red Dead , it is a great game. Every person could say if they put this or that in or take this or that out I’d like it better but it would vary so much. Just like (or dislike) the games for what they are because they won’t be changing. I try not to have preconceptions of what i want games to be and try to just enjoy them for what they are unless they are buggy or just bad games I almost always do.

My main annoyance, which could just be me, but is there actually a mission list. I dislike looking at the map to find my objective targets. The map is a bit slow and I would much prefer a standard list of side missions and main missions that you have unlocked.

Other than that I have altered the controls, which helped a lot. Saying that my horse did randomly do a triple somersault and throw me through the air when I hit a tiny rock. Anyone else have this?

Got the game on release day and have played it solidly ever since and have been utterly enthralled at this games absolute brilliance for the most part, but for me, it has been sullied by a poorly implemented, frustrating control interface.

The game, in my opinion, has far too many balls to juggle all at the one time. For example, when you are in the midst of a tense shootout and you find yourself having to constantly pause proceedings, to enter a menu wheel and then a further, sub secondary inventory wheel and then choosing from a further option within the wheel to finally navigate finding a bloody tin of peaches, lump of bread or tobacco to refill your dead eye, health & stamina to continue the fight. Then, not more than a few bad guys despatched later, having to rinse and repeat this whole immersion sapping & laborious process all over again within seconds. That's realism right there folks! Scoffing a tin of ruddy peaches and eating candy in the middle of a shotgun battle!

It may be wishful thinking on my part, but i'd be most enamoured were the developers to patch in the option to vastly streamline control options, whereby simply pressing the blocky buttons in the designated direction would refill said options. In my opinion, the game has been over engineered and has far too much stuff added that never needed to be there in the first place.

The game reminds me somewhat, of that wonderfully laid back, late American landscape artist Bob Ross. In that both the game and the artist's work share the same scenic backdrop and both, on occasion, never knew when enough was enough at times, with Bob plastering a great big ole tree right in the centre over an otherwise perfect landscape at the eleventh hour, Rockstar has chosen to throw in everything including the kitchen sink to the detriment of a smoother playing experience.

You mean that besides the fact that it's not on PC? That's all that matters to me.

No such thing as perfection, it's a very good game that deserves 9 and up anyone who says different is too use to regular yearly games usually fast paced with a wallet at the ready.

GTA had the same controls forever lol seriously what's different between GTA V controls and GTA 3 hell we'll throw in SA too? Same button to jump, punch, get in vehicles, runs, and for it time aiming an shooting. I'm still waiting to here a legit argument about the controls, f it not even a legit argument an actual argument period. They just say it bad and that's it. Never what's bad about it or what they'd change. Then this guy throws in GTA 3 doesnt help his case cause GTA has had 90% of the same controls since forever.
Story isn't OMG great but far from bad.
Aiming can be difficult auto aim is a must for me lol.
I hear 1 and a half legit reasons. But those are such small things compared to so much great things they're not even on my mind.

Bugs. Game. Breaking. BUGS. The train is literally locked out of my game. I haven't seen it in three days. Used to be common as deer, seeing the train go by every time I came to a crossing. When I purchase a ticket, my balance isn't reduced, and it goes into a loading screen. Then, nothing happens.

FOUR main characters also have the potential to bug out, and be locked out of the camp. Not sure if I'm going to keep playing or not. So much work. Gone.

I did some digging on the train thing and it has indeed happened to others. https://www.reddit.com/r/RD... PATCH NOW.

I can name about 50 things that keep it from being perfect. But the good way outweighs the small things that are minor distractions.

It is perfect.

I’m really enjoying it now but damn the controls are unresponsive sometimes and just poorly laid out. And I’m all for immersion but not when the game wastes your time, no running in camp, long animations etc. I think the first rdr is possibly the better game overall. Rdr1 is a 9/10 for me and Rdr2 is an 8/10.

Partially agree for now.. since I'am still far from seeing a whole story. Free aim rules, but it's almost impossible to hit a moving target from a horse back with it.

One thing that makes me mad, is a number of QTE. Like I'am playing some Uncharted game. Please, step here, and press X for ten times. What?!

Still it's the best open world ever created. I've played Zelda, AC: Origins, Witcher3, Skyrim.

Well that is certainly true but then again no game is really perfect either.

I own and played GTA all series and both RDR 1 and 2. both games are so good.
