I mean there are some harder parts but that’s all, I rarely failed in my first playthrough and second now

    RDR2 is as close as it gets to a perfect game. Rockstar will never outdo it. And it’s unlikely anyone else will for a good while yet.

    It’s a masterpiece.

        The story is pretty dumb. I wouldn’t say it’s bad necessarily, I just think it’s dumb how often we get into whole town shootouts, amd then just pay 80-90 bucks to make it go away. Oh, and fuck Micah, that guy can get lost.

      Except… for the combat. By the end of the game, they need 50 bad guys to even pose a challenge to our Max Paine protagonist. But not in the cut scene, of course. By mid-game, you’ve killed more cowboys than cholera.

      There is a beautiful quick-draw mechanic that’s only necessary in 2 (optional) side quests.

      Wouldn’t even be in my top 10. I loved the world, I just wished the story would go away and just allow me to experience it by myself. To. Me it felt like amazing technology being wasted on a decidedly average game

      I agree. Stunning. It’s not for everyone, but, those who can appreciate the slow, beautiful, revealing beauty and enjoy taking their time, this game is as good as it gets.

      Those that mash buttons to skip cutscenes, may as well give it a miss and try something else
