Where Is Our Red Dead Redemption 2 Review? - MMORPG.com
Red Dead Redemption 2 has finally launched on PC. So…where’s our review?
Comments
This is why some days console, to me, just seems "easier". More plug-n-play.
Be interested to see what it takes on the PC side to get something that looks equivalent to the XBox One level of graphics.
sure, todays consoles are not at the PC level graphics wise and never will be. to me, though, i cant see a large enough difference anymore to say i play on PC because console graphics are so bad. i play in 4K and it looks amazing. theres a difference, but its so minimal now that that argument is no longer an excuse to why people dont play on consoles. its financially the better choice.
Being only able to change keybinds while you're in-game is a bit silly, but since you're able to change them it doesn't really affect anything.
Controlling the game on keyboard and mouse feels good. There are a lot of situations where you need to keep key pushed down instead of just pressing it once, and some of the menus feel better when used with keyboard than with mouse, but overall the keyboard + mouse controls feel good even if they aren't perfect.
Running on GTX 970 and I7-3770 I can't set the graphic settings very high, but with a little tweaking I can get the game run consistently near 60 FPS and the graphics still look really good.
Welcome to high quality programming and PC porting by R*!
p.s. not to mention how secondary characters look like a bunch of deformed goblins compared to ACOdyssey or Ghost Recon Breakpoint or Anthem or whatever AAA game was released in the last 12 months.
Thank you for your time!
Nah, it's a genuine masterpiece of bad testing (epilepsy warning):

The game cannot even launch itself from the desktop shortcut it has created - and instead display alert to use launcher. As a programmer I envy people who work in teams like this one: apparently they do whatever the heck they want instead of the job they supposed to do.
Thank you for your time!
Very wonky stability and optimization attm, but it's to be expected the optimization that goes into consoles vs PC requiring much better hardware.
The PS4 Pro does not render the game in 4K. It’s 1920x2160, or half the total pixel count of 4K. The only console to run the game in true 4K is Xbox One X.
The gap, if anything, has grown wider. Faster storage, faster ram, significantly faster processing, and revolutionary advancements such as real time ray tracing are far beyond what consoles are capable of. Console hardware and capability stays static for their 8 year life cycle. PC makes advancements every year. I get what you’re trying to say, but there are objective differences in capability and power that you seem to be forgetting. I own and play on all 3 big consoles (X, Peo, Switch) and also have an incredibly powerful PC equipped with an 8700k and 2080 Ti. I see these differences every day, and they have been growing since Day 1.
Some people want to go for that small graphic quality increase, but I'd say for most people it's so small it doesn't really matter.
Regardless of how one may feel about it, ray tracing is an objectively significant milestone in real time rendering. Consoles are of course fine for most folks. No denying that. But to state processing power doesn’t translate into anything significant is objectively untrue.

Tested over a 115+ games since 1997.
Currently Playing:
Played(Retired): AOL NWN(91-95), UO, EQ1/2, DAoC, CoX, Lineage1/2, SWG(Pre CU/NGE), Planetside, Anarchy Online, FFXI, AC, Vanguard, D&D, AoC, DCUO, Rift, Eve, others
For some genres I prefer a keyboard+mouse and for others a controller. Personally, if a game falls in the latter, I'll choose my 65" TV and the couch almost every time over the office chair, even with the new 32" 1440p ultra-wide and improved graphics/framerate.
Also when I hit escape to go to game menu its like the top half of screen is menu while the bottom half is still trying to stay in the game.
Also would like to metion this is all on low settings.
Update so most all of the freezing is gone after this patch but I still have that weird thing going on on bottom of screen while trying to enter menu, also some of the interactive cutscenes.
Depends what your res is, on 1080p I have everything set to max with my 1060 and it runs great.
Wa min God! Se æx on min heafod is!
