Right now, I don’t have a PC. Long ago, when I did have one, the first AAA game I ever played was Red Dead Redemption 2. I have played other games, but I feel like RDR2 surpasses all of them and is legitimately one of the greatest games ever made. The amount of details dedicated to realism, the solid storyline, the amazing graphics, NPCs getting angry/creeped out when you follow them for too long, and the hilarious antagonistic insults. I can just go on and on about this game. This is undoubtedly Rockstar’s best achievement yet, and I can’t wait to see how they top it with GTA 6 releasing next year.

    RDR2 is on my list and I need to stop fiddling around with all my other games and play this one.

    All I ever hear is great things about this game.

      I was in the same boat as you until a few months ago when I started. Well worth it. The story is great, I’m not to the end yet (been savoring). Game play is very much like gta. Get to it!

        It’s also a very long campaign with several points that feel like they’re coming up on the ending, only for a lot more game and story to come afterward.

      Genuine piece of advice, if you have the patience for it - walk everywhere, don’t use fast travel. Treat it like a hiking sim sometimes and it will reward you with vibes like no other game.

      It does mean that sometimes you’ll have a session where nothing happens and you don’t progress any of the missions/story… but I always found it to be super worth it.

        Absolutely. Just stumbling on an empty shack but the contents telling a tale about who was there before is fascinating. Among many other reasons.

          I found this video rather relevant. It made me enjoy some nice sunsets on the witcher 3 (started playing it recently):

          Maybe it will enhance your play through as well. I agree sometimes not much happens, but it feels more rewarding than trying to min/max the run for whatever reason.

      it’s the best game I ever played. I waited years to play it and I played it two years ago, on pc. Amazing. Outrageously good. when I finished playing it, I deleted it off my computer and I set up a block on Reddit before I left Reddit permanently, so that I don’t see any mention of it. I just wanted to forget that I never played it and forget the story so that I could have that feeling of playing it for first time. I think in a year maybe two I’ll be ready to play it again. I can’t wait to forget more about it, so I can experience it again.

      I’m not gonna spoil anything bit I didn’t enjoy the story.

      Maybe it’s just me and I would play it again if it was a 20 hours game, but it’s too long for me to give it another chance.

      I loved the ambiance and gameplay though. I think I enjoyed the first one more because the story wasn’t bad, but it has been ages…
