Looking to try Red Dead 2

[KnightKing]

Hey

 

How is Red Dead 2?

 

Looking to purchase and has been on my list for the past 4

four years.

 

What can you advise?

Maybe you should watch some reviews of the game on YouTube and then decide, if you want to play it or not.

 

You can find PC copies for like 24€ or maybe cheaper in keyshops, no idea what it costs for consoles.

 

If you only like fast paced games, this game is not for you, it's a slow as f*ck pace game.

 

I bought it at PC release date, and still haven't finished the last chapter, it's isn't very exciting. Too much time is wasted just riding horses for hundreads of miles.

its a great game. my favorite video game so far. and that's coming from someone who has played many games. if you like westerns and outlaw stuff. you would love this. the story is one of the best video game stories ever. its a lot like grand theft auto. you can kill anyone or rob anyone. and while it is slower paced than gta. it can still be fast paced. you can go into town and shoot it up like a gta game. there are plenty of weapons and horses to choose from. and there are so many side missions. and a lot of side content and easter eggs. it has a decent multiplayer. similar to gta online. although it has not had a new update in almost a year. but for a new player like yourself. there would be plenty of stuff for you to do. if you like guns crime and the american old west. and if you dont mind not having cars or modern day technology. then you would probably like it. its easily worth it.

rules to remember to avoid ruining the experience: DON'T RUSH IT, DON"T PLAY IT WHEN YOU'RE TIRED OR OVERWHELMED, DON'T OVERINDULGE(i.e don't consume in large doses).

Thanks all for the above.

 

I will order on pay day.

A slow paced game with loads and loads of content to experience as long as you take your time and not expect to be bombarded with action all the time, it doesn't happen all the time but when it does it's done so well.

 

The story is nothing short of a masterpiece with great dialogues and great side quests going with it, many people here finished the game many times and they still find things they have never seen.

 

It's a very detailed game too, insane attention to the little things.

 

The visuals are better than some of the games that haven't came out yet.

 

I wish I could go back in time and experience it for the first time again.

That pretty much sums up my thoughts on the game as well. The story is long but at no point boring. The game's looks are still on par with current day graphics, in my opinion. I, too, wish I could get that same "first experience" feeling again.

 

I held off on the game until 2021. Kept hearing nothing but great things about it for years. Finally broke down and bought it. Haven't regretted that purchase since. Woah is me, all those years spent playing other games, missing out on everything in RDR2. If you like open world titles and enjoy a good storyline, don't make the same mistake I did any longer.
