Red Dead Redemption 2 Got It Right

Jerry from BagoGames says, "I never understood why my father loved the Wild West so much. Now after playing Red Dead Redemption 2 for hours on end, I think I finally understand."

It's nice to see a game that had so much hype actually deliver on what it promised. A strong story line with an expansive world to do as you wish. I even like that they're rolling out the multiplayer slowly, it wasn't the focus. Wish Bethesda would get their act together with Fallout 76, take what Rockstar did as a good example on how to do single player and multiplayer right.

Minus the insane grind for cash (by the time you hit rank 5, you can buy a shotty for $444, which you'll probably have 30 to 40 at the time..
), it's fun.

UCForce2757d ago

Not just that, Rockstar new engine or upgrade made Fallout 76 like a crap. It’s look beautiful and I don’t see any downgraded from the game.

I just finished RDR2 right now. It took me a little over a month. Credits are now rolling. I'm tearing up. I feel like I lived a lifetime in the old west. I'm 46. These games don't come around every day. This is a once in a lifetime game for me. I'm just happy I was able to see it and finish it. It's an accomplishment. What a technical marvel this game is...

thepluggy2757d ago

a petition has been started to ask R* to fix the blurry visuals in RDR2 anyone that has these problems please sign and maybe R* will do something about it. https://www.gopetition.com/...

Has this not been fixed? I loaded up RDR2 on my PSPro today for the first time in a little while - before any of the patches were released anyway. As it loaded me into the game I was amazed at how it looked. It’s so clear now, it was actually pretty shocking!

It still goes blurry occasionally but it seemed fixed for the most part.

thepluggy2757d ago

i know, its kinda strange, for the most part i am the same..but i do know of many instances where this is not the case. its weird how it is only effecting some while for others its still there.

Artemidorus2757d ago

They did a.good job but the online element needs changing or scores should be reduced if they keep things.

william_cade2757d ago

This is a fantastic game. My top 3 games ever.

You think Rockstar views Red Dead 2 as a failure because it didn't sell 150m copies?

jznrpg224d ago

3 billion or so in revenue not including online stuff I’m sure they don’t

SethNW223d ago

I am pretty sure they don't. It was profitable and made them a lot of money. Not GTA5 money but far from failure. Maybe it is lower priority franchise, due to being smaller, but that is about the lowest they would put it as. Only thing they do consider failure is RDR2 Online, unlike GTA5 Online, that RDR2 Online flopped. Hence why it got less support. And when it come to profits, sales for both combined don't come close to GTA Online microtansactions. Hence why everything very quickly got canceled and GTA Online was top priority, so no GTA6 for a long time, no DLC for GTA5, despite there being 5 DLCs planned, at least I think it was 5, give or take one. But as I see it, they needed to rejuvenate interest and all, hence why GTA6 eventually is getting made. But what they are really looking forward to is refresh of Online.

ZeekQuattro223d ago

Only in terms of the online aspect of the game. They didn't support it as much as they did GTA V Online. I remember people being pissed about that.

jznrpg224d ago

I own a few GTAs but never played them. I love Red Dead though

Yui_Suzumiya217d ago (Edited 217d ago )

Boring and overrated. Red Dead Redemption is pretty good though. The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy is my personal GOAT. We need more stuff like that from TooKyo.

victorMaje224d ago

I must be one of the few who are fine with the GTA6 delay. People treat that game like it’s the 2nd coming lol.

FIELDMARSHALL_P223d ago

My daughter asked me how I felt about I shrugged and said I don't care gives me time to finish up games I already have. It's all good let them make the best game they can.

RedDevils223d ago

Wish they make another Manhunt or Bully.

gold_drake223d ago

The world they built is pretty amazing. Unfortunately, the game was mostly boring to me. I definitely had fun in some parts, but it didn't do it for me as a whole like the first one did. I loved RDR so much.

The budgets and time it takes to make games these days is out of control. Such a big risk. If a game isn't a huge hit, it is often it for a studio. Scary. I really miss the PS2 and PS3 days where studeios could make 4 games in a generation and take risks in making something new. And so many were using their own engines. Those were the days.

neutralgamer1992228d ago

Agreed. I love RDR but couldn't get into RDR2. The animations take forever and game slows you down on purpose. It won't let you have fun because R* want us to play the game they want to. I know millions love RDR2 and I even bought and own it. But just wasn't for me.

It's like comparing GTA4 to saints row 2. One game was about fun while the other was about realism and that's coming from someone who beat GTA4 many times. I much rather a game be fun to play than chase realism

YodaCracker228d ago

GTA IV’s realism is what made it so much more fun for me. I loved experimenting with the physics.

Storm23227d ago

I bought RDR2 also. Put 100+ hours into it and beat it our of respect for Rockstar and all the people saying it was the greatest game ever. RDR blew my mind but might also have been the best time in gaming for me personally. l loved that PS3 gen so much.

I am excited to see what GTA6 is like.
