I've never played a lot of games. What I mean is I've never been a variety gamer, at least not since Blockbuster was cool. (Pours libations for the smell of a Blockbuster that happened to have a Pizza place next door.) While I don't play a variety of games, the ones I do play I adore. I don't just adore them, I crawl into them like Tom Hanks in Castaway and let them live in my head - rent free.

The level of immersion RDR2 has achieved with this game is outstanding and like nothing i have played before. Watching videos or hearing people talk about the game really doesn't do it justice. It's a masterpiece.
Aloha Mr Hand !
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
One thing i don't care for at all and ruins all the good it is doing with immersion and that is Bullet time.Other than that,it does a decent job with the western appeal,i am just not into six shooters/rifles anymore.
Also worn out from the walking through the bush/terrain,been there done that too many times.
My appeal would be if i could roleplay a way to take over a town and become the sheriff.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
mmorpg junkie since 1999
I can overlook joystick aiming... mostly. Thank god for quick-aim.
The game is amazing.
i have both. i recommend ps4 pro. playstation has the exclusive games that you will want to play. spider-man is great. god of war and horizon zero dawn are two other must plays. cant go wrong.
Argh. . same spot. . xbox 1s. . soo cheap but this game runs at horrible res on it.
PS4 Pro. . what I had planned. . then
Gamepass!. . awesome. . but the Xbox One X (4K for this game) is so pricey.
Must. Hold. Out. for PC version.
Wa min God! Se æx on min heafod is!
This game is an 'experience' more than it is a mere game- Its beyond just 'good' or 'great' or even 'excellent'- Its art, it moves you and the illusion of being a part of a living and breathing world has never been crafted so masterfully as its been done here. Not even close.
Theres so much I would like to say about this game- It has some flaws (as everything does) but its a masterpiece and the greatest game (or interactive experience) of the last decade or two. Its not the most "fun" game of that time period but thats a whole separate discussion.
Ive now completed almost everything there is to do- As the story began to play out and I knew the ending was coming I literally felt sadness that these NPCs that I have gotten to 'know', have a connection with and feel strongly for (in one way or another) would no longer be a part of my life- That the game will end... That I would miss these "people"- Something ive never really had in a game before. I might miss my character or the game but not the actual NPCs lol
Playing Red dead has been one hell of a ride- Its among the best games ive ever played and its a gamechanger. This has 'ruined' me in many ways as I am going to expect this from an open world from now on and will probably be very disappointed in otherwise good games.
I know this game wont be for everyone- But for those who can handle a slow, methodical game and can really sit down and get involved in it- You will feel the same by the end. For a certain type of gamer this is the holy grail (or as close as weve ever gotten with current tech)
Good review and I hope you review it again once youre finished and we can all have a spoiler filled discussion because damn- Theres alot I would love to talk about and its hard to do without ruining someone elses enjoyment- because even talking about a simple 'side quest' and characters you meet in them often end up with evolving and impactful stories and things thats just...fucking incredible...But hard to discuss.
