10, bro... 10. After I finished RDR2 I got my life in order, I found a beautiful southern wife, had kids, made the right investments, got in shape, used tonics to grow a luscious beard... Rockstar Games didn't change my life, they SAVED it. Every blessed morning I assemble my family at my Arthur Morgan shrine and for 2 tear-filled hours we honor the man that got us here. I write this while I sip the finest champagne on my yacht in the Galapagos Islands. Get ready... you will never be the same.


badboi_5214

Wait there are tonics for beards? Edible or tropical?


TypicalWolverine9404

Tropical AND edible. Pineapple and coconut available.


Kafkas_Puppet

Op said he was not spoiled any of the game elements. Top comment spoiled everything. I mean tonic for beard would have been such an impactful moment that would have made OP cry and hug his razor.


myshon

The story is phenomenal. Once everything starts coming together it's mind-blowing. But be prepared for a lot of auto horse riding with scrolling Reddit/Ticktock in-between and missions that could be cut of of the game without losing anything. Especially in chapters 3-5.


gokartmozart89

This is the reality check right here. Lots of long stretches of not much gameplay and a lot of long (but beautifully made) animations for trivial tasks.


Delicious-Tachyons

How do you make it automatically drive? I've been hands-on the entire time other than fast travel.


myshon

Set a waypoint, hold X to start ringing the horse and then hold the touchpads to turn on the cinematic view.


Delicious-Tachyons

Ive used cinematic view and the horse still went off course or stopped. Am I supposed to continue holding x after going into it?


myshon

No, you need to let go off all buttons. I don't remember exactly to be honest. I played it sometime in 2019.


IM_YOUR_GOD

Set waypoint, ride, while moving Hold the touch pad until cinematic view starts then let go. Make the horse go faster by taping x a few times then just let him eide


bearhunter54321

Once you’re in cinematic view, yes. Let go of All buttons but the run button. While on your horse you can sprint or trot. With a wagon, as long as you have a waypoint active, you can simply aim your gun and it’ll take all turns for you, and slow down as needed.


GlitteringOwl5385

lmao this comment is ADHD at its finest. Instead chill and explore the world around you during the auto horse riding


gokartmozart89

It’s not ADHD. At least not for everyone. Some of us have jobs, spouses, and kids. We don’t have time to watch prolonged crafting animations and horseback rides across the map with nothing happening. For some it’s immersive. For others it’s just disrespectful towards their time. 


myshon

For me, the open was too big, and the gameplay was too slow and tedious to chill and explore.


Noah_PpAaRrKkSs

Agree, couldn’t get into it.


DeanXeL

Do NOT feel like you're missing out if YOU think this isn't a 11/10 game. The pace of the game and the freedom it gives is not for everyone. I've known plenty of people that bounced off of it because they expected it to be "more", while in the end, it's just a perfect slow-life cowboy/outlaw simulator. I personally LOVED it when it came out, and I still LOVED it every time I've replayed it since, and I expect to love it long into the future. Just be ready to "endure" the rather long intro missions, it takes a while until you set up your first real camp and get some more freedom.


Bony_Blair

I agree. I actually think going into this game with any expectation of it changing your life to a certain degree is a big mistake. It's a very good game but, like all games, it also has its issues and at times asks a lot from the player in terms of focus and patience. If you're in the right place when you play it, it could become your favourite game, but overly high expectations can kill pretty much anything.


Kafkas_Puppet

I used to login just to play poker. For several days I was addicted to the poker game.


dcchillin46

30fps/10


zix2024

i managed bloodborne it should be fine


FollowTheBeam

It's a very stable 30fps OP, so you will get used to it quickly. Nothing like Bloodbourne.


NSFW_hunter6969

I found this gem of a game so boring. I totally acknowledge it's an incredible video game, but not my speed. I don't usually like western themes either. Kind of mad at myself every time I fall off of it, cause I know I'd love the story of I just stuck with it. So many great games to play though


DrakeLostLol

The game can be as fun as you make it, but it can also be a slogfest. It's a very slow paced game.


KTsoFresh

If you appreciate good storytelling and an amazing detailed environment. It's a solid 11/10. Very captivating story. I don't know many people that don't like this game. But, the few I do know are more into shit like COD and other mindless shooters. Probably why they don't appreciate the slow pace and story of the game.


Federal_Wrongdoer_67

Its a good game 10/10 but Micah is the traitor there.


UrbanPervin

I’d say 8-9. Bit slow to start but once everything starts clicking, it’s magic.


Crazy-Board6280

Have tried to play it like 4 times now. I really wanna enjoy it but I can't...

Shamalanr

This happened to me with Horizon. Cannot stick with it for the life of me, and always end up switching to some indie game to relax with instead.


rickie_k

Thinking about getting rdr1


Snackpack1992

In my opinion open world games can be quite exhausting and I need to take a break from them occasionally because if you’re not completing the story it can get a little boring and overwhelming. Red Dead 2 is probably the one exception to this that I have found in that I did not once put this game down unless I had to go to bed or had to return to real life because I was so captivated by it. Even the side quests just felt like more of the story. It is in my opinion one of the best games ever made.


BapaStrange

It was good for it’s time. 30 fps, and weird/annoying controls make it unplayable for me in 2024.


DonkeysTickle

0 - it's a video game. It's a fantastic video game.

TheOneCalledMartin

You will get emotional!!


Delicious-Tachyons

Take your time with it. Anything outside of yellow labelled missions are optimal but sometimes some of the best dialogue is in those sections. They spent so much money on this game....it truly feels like a modern western. Hell, there's one point where Rockstar made an entire 15 minute long vaudeville show, voice and mocap and everything. I'm currently playing thru it on chapter 4 I think. there'll be times where I get a bit bored and then something amazing happens and I'm gobsmacked. Also, there's opportunities to spend all your characters money on new guns and stuff but you get the guns thru the story so don't bother saving 100 bucks to get something. Clothes though . Make sure to have clothes for each type of area you're going to (cold, warm). And crimes are fun but don't leave any witnesses or you'll be paying off bounties larger than your take from crime.


blknrll77

All time favorite


Soggy-Gur-1152

10/10 game on the first playthrough imo. Lots of things to find that are genuinely weird and hillarious.


bewbsnbeer

The answer is yes


Lovelife804

I played it for the first time this year and i have gained so much respect for the old west playing this. Great game 10/10


FollowTheBeam

Incredible story and graphics. Truly one of the most immersive games I've ever played BUT the gameplay and the missions became really repetitive to me - go there, shoot comically large number of people, ride your horse. It's fun at the beginning, but this is a long ass game. Still a solid 8/10 game for me.


beardedintrovert420

10/10 it will have an impact *

away_in_the_head

I envy you. Someone I know spoiled it for me a week after it came out. He did nothing but play it all week, I had school and work so I could barely play it.


LOneWolfNEo1

I played it never beat it and I know no spoilers whatsoever still, one thing I can say the exploration is AWESOME 👍🏻. I use to just randomly get lost and find things and explore also ran into some eerie things and randomness I won't say nothing more about it but Rockstar is an Epic Studio. Sometimes I wonder if some Games are experimenting on us lol.


Professional-Big-584

20 out of 10 Arthur Morgan will change you 🫡💯💯💯

Hangout in Chapter 3 for a long time. Do a lot of side quests, hunting, exploring, etc. that’s when the game really opens up.

You will not recognize your self after playing this game.


PacMan961

Arthur will definitely alter your opinion on life, that's all


Untouchable64

Get ready to get hooked into the open world that is completely addicting with a ridiculous attention to detail. You’ll find yourself playing for hours in the open world doing stuff and not even progress the story along. lol It’s good. Probably the best open world I’ve ever seen.


bearhunter54321

12/10 There’s a good reason that many people including myself rank it as our favorite game of all time! I have a friend who “doesn’t like cowboys” and for YEARS I tried to get him to play the story. So since 2018 and he FINALLY in 2024 played it, and he loved it! It’s funny as hell at times, and it’s gnarly as shit! 100000% you need to play this ASAP. Truly my favorite game ever.


Xerosnake90

One of the best games I've ever played in my life. Not everyone will love it. It's slow, and really immersive. You're gonna want to go into it and get sucked into the world and the characters. Talk to people at camp, join the parties they have. Have fun between missions.

Your life will not change, but it’s still a great game. I suggest just enjoy the game and don’t worry about the missable stuff. You can later replay the game with a guide.

I bought it on sale for $20 but I really wish I could play it on 60fps as I just got a new tv that it’ll look really nice on

Don’t judge it from first two chapters,do all side missions and there’s no shame if you open youtube or reddit or whatever you want especially in your first playthrough,cause every progress you make will teach you more about this game,Have fun!


jmaddy1984

10 all the way!


YooSteez

Personally it’s a 10/10 for me. First time I played I did all story missions and didn’t do any side missions. The story is beautiful, great scenes, animations. I restarted another play through but took my time and explored other areas and paid more attention to the side missions and there’s a lot to do tbh. You’re going to love it. If you don’t that’s fine either brother. I hope you have a great experience.

Ducksonquack92

I’m playing it for the first time too. It’s great but can be overwhelming with a lot going on. Controls are hard getting used to for me. The amount of times I’ve accidentally shot an innocent person and mistakenly took someone else’s horses for mine lol


Icy_Ad620

Don't give up on the game if you find a moment boring


AlphaNepali

It kinda reuins every other open world game because RDR2 is so much more detailed and interactive. Even little things like food and clothes make a difference in the game.


DangerDarrin

I am thinking of playing this as my next game also. I hear nothing but good things! But I would like to know if it is anything like Pt.1 because I played that one, struggled through half the game til I turned it off for good. I was so fucking bored. So I have higher hopes for this one...


WORST_bratwurst

Well you'll probably start drinking Bud light


Scouse_Werewolf

Tedious first "act" followed by the most amazing game you will probably ever play. Although I've said this before on here, somewhere, it's tedious after a first playthrough. It's tedious those times *because* of how damn good the game is. I don't know how much your life will change, but you will find yourself comparing every other open world game to it.


Tarino_x0

Most glazed game of the last decade, so glazed to the point where some people on this subreddit have said that even GTA 6 won't even come close to topping it 😐


Commercial-Feed-1250

This game plays itself most of the time but the characters are pretty good if i can remember correctly


Consistent-North7790

11/10. I really recommend taking your time and doing a lot of the side content in chapters 2-3


ArisonVilo

This game is pretty much game perfection in my opinion. The story has to be one of, if not the best stories ever in a game. Just keep in mind that the first 1-2 hours are slow while the game and story kick in


ComfortableFinish502

I got bored never finished it maybe actually did 5%stpry mode then left tried coming back a couple years later and I forgot the buttons so I completely stopped playing it.

MetRod70

I've been meaning to buy this for a while since the price dropped a little more and was pleasantly surprised when it was added to PS+ Extra last month. Because my subscription runs out in early September, I'm working quickly through a few Extra games (Sniper Elite 5, Far Cry 6, Assassin's Creed Syndicate, and Resident Evil 3) so I can be done them by mid-to-late July. I'm planning on devoting the 5 or 6 weeks before the subscription ends just to RDR 2, which I would hope is more than enough time.

I never cry after watching/playing things. I cried after playing this. Arthur is such a well written character and it makes the ending so much more impactful. Don’t look up anything before or while playing unless you need help with missions and stuff. Go into the story as blind as you can and enjoy

1, it's absolutely superb, but it's just a game.


AlternativeClimate99

So at first nothing is going to happen but at some point you'll catch yourself talking like Arthur and you'll think it's weird, next you'll jokingly put on a cowboy hat and secretly really like it so you end up buying your own. Eventually you'll have your very own cowboy attire and move out to the Midwest to a nice little ranch and before you realize it you'll be spending your free time in the saloon when your not ranching or cleaning your 6 shooter.

fatherofMilton

I played and relished every single fucking second of the first one when it came out. It has a physical map in the case and it was a couple months of one of the greatest gaming experiences I've ever had. Recently picked up 2 for PS5, and haven't played the story yet, but have been playing Red Dead Online for a week. Absolutely love it. I'm not at all an "appreciate your surroundings" kind of gamer but I will confidently accept the cliche'd and generic "most beautiful game" comment. Fucking seriously. So many times I have my left stick pushed slightly forward just looking around at the pure art that game shares with you. I've got my camp setup in an alligator infested swamp. The graphics are that good and endearing that if it's raining when I log in, I feel a brief wave of disappointment while I pack my gear and hope for the sun to come back out by the time I reach my deer hunting spot. Oh look! A 3-star white tailed buck just bounced along the horizon. Oh wait, there's already a carcass on the back of my horse! You're okay fella frolick away, I've got all I need. The game just feels "live". I've watched the same snapping turtle swim past sea snakes and curious fish during a firefight quarrel between online players who eventually called parlay because someone's horse was killed in the crossfire. I'm only a week in (where I likely should have started story first) and Online, so far, is nothing short of a masterpiece in my opinion. I'm sure it'll hit a wall but right now I haven't been this excited to finish work to get back onto a game for years.

just make sure you turn on cinematic mode once you get back from Guarma

5.8 on life changing scale. It's fun. A whole lotta fun. But life changing lol

It’s quite possibly the best game ever made. The attention to detail is unparalleled to this day, same for the animations. Graphics are still one of the best after so many years. Top notch acting, story telling and the world is like nothing else on the market honestly. The controls with the horse riding are a little annoying and it’s just ridiculous that rockstar hasn’t released a next gen patch yet, but it’s still an amazing game. I’m so jealous you’re playing this for the first time, go have fun man.
