I'd give this game a 50/100 if I were to score it right now after 12-15 hours. It's really bad, and really mundane nearly at all activities. It's brilliance is nullified when you're forced to remember how torturous all actions are. Horrible transitioning from anything to anything different. Something that The Witcher 3 already showed how to do correctly. Yet it's painful to hunt, and then get on your horse. Want to loot something? Watch every damn animation! Want to pick up a herb? Oh, you stepped awkwardly, and now you need to 180 and shimmy... Still no prompt, oh, let's back up a bit more, and pick it up. Oh, don't forget to watch the whole animation! You're reminded constantly how tedium the simplest of tasks truly is. Today's gameplay ended for me when I stole an item that cost 9.50$ from an ABANDONED store, yet outside three witnesses not even close to the place are scrambling to tell the police.

Where the hell is the fun. I loved RDR1. I don't know what garbage this is. I'll tell you another thing from today that pissed me off. Running with my horse through the grassy fields and my horse falls at full sprint because he tripped on near even terrain. This isn't even complaining about going flying when I hit a rock, a tree, a branch, a thick bush, or a slight jump/elevation change. So much fun! Yay, let me eat and restore my horse and my stats because this game is a pile of crap. Cores are stupid!

Now, that's for now. I still will pick up the game again. But it's clear, I am infuriated by the offerings of this title. I paid $100 for this game cause of how excited I was for it. I've been waiting forever for this to come out. But it's nothing like the original RDR. It's just too much maintenance/real-life-simulator without good smooth fun gameplay. Guess this is what happens when a developers head gets to big.

Dang, you must have had a very bad day then, 15hrs of it? Tsk tsk tsk, I hope you can get your money back.

I played 6.5-8 hours yesterday and yeah - it wasn't great, at all. I left more worried about the quality of the game than excited to play it the next day.

I just wish I could play it and the first one. I only do PC and Nintendo devices.

Do you purposely limit yourself to playing on those 2 platforms?

Did anyone else notice that the Xbox-version dropped to 97 MC? And it didn't even get any new review-scores (last one was Oct 26)? Maybe Metacritic updated the weights on the reviewers?

That's weird. Maybe Nintendo gave them a offer that they couldn't refuse.

I imagine everyone is very well off in being able to afford all 4 systems, as well as paying to play online and the premium prices for more than 4 games a month.

Also I could ask the same for just X1/PS4 owners and their secondary platforms. 



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.

I can only speak for myself but i personally have a pc too. I'm not in the business of limiting myself from platforms I'd like. If i had some misguided hatred towards pc I'd not have it.

i was hoping i'd hit 98.



God bless You.

My Total Sales prediction for PS4 by the end of 2021: 110m+

When PS4 will hit 100m consoles sold: Before Christmas 2019

People can have an IBM from the old days, yet still choose not to use it. 

My next door neighbor has his laptop as well, yet he chooses to play on his X1 95% of the time, the rest of the remaining 5% is spent on online shopping with that laptop.

I won a toaster, yet I hardly ever use the damn thing compared to when my family members used it.

You can claim to own something or practice something, but the main deal is, is that you do what you say, not say what you do and then never do it.

You can hate hide, it's been quite easy for some on here to do for some time now.
