Even though I play it on my old low end laptop, I still able to get a stable 60fps on medium settings at 1080p (Linux) and the game is still gorgeous looking probably looks better than most if not all UE5 games released in the past 3 years.
I really wanted to like this game. I wanted to so bad. I can acknowledge many of its pros, and I can understand why many people like it.
But everything is so. Fucking. Slow. And every mission is “hold A to ride your horse for a long time and then do a small amount of actual action, if you’re lucky”.
Yeah, when i played through it i quickly discovered that I’d have to set aside a few hours at a time in order to actually let myself enjoy it.
Luckily, this was mid 2020 and i had just gotten laid off, so i had time.
It’s really slow for about 1/3 of the way through, and then you get to Saint Denis and it starts taking off a lot harder.
It’s a masterpiece, but definitely a slow burn. It’s a top 3 game for me for sure.
Yeah on chapter 1 it played like Life is Strange game or Telltale games, but I enjoy my time with it because of good writing and great scenery
I’m with you. I loved the first RDR, one of my favorite games of all time. Fun interesting characters, the side quest plots all went a little sideways, which was refreshing. I really wanted to like RDR2 but it ended up feeling tedious. Lots to love in the game so I understand why so many people said it was an amazing game.
I feel like Rockstar did the same thing with the GTA games. GTA3, VC, and SA were somewhat realistic games set in a goofy world with strange characters and interactions. By GTA4, all the interesting plots were replaced by pointless minigames and going bowling with cousin Roman. That’s basically the same way I felt about the jump between RDR and RDR2.
I never played Red Dead Revolver so I don’t know how that fits in with the rest.
I’ve bounced off of it twice now after really trying to get into it. It’s just too damn slow for my taste.
when characters eat a meal they actually cut up their food and eat it, not just a few motions on loop. Lots of love and detail in this game
also the horses balls go up when you ride into cold water
Oh so I’m not a crazy old man? I always thought UE5 games had that weird motion blur I just thought it was my computer/eyes.
First thing to do when starting a new game. Go to visual settings and turn off motion blur, depth of field, chromatic aberration, vignette, film grain, and depending on the game, anti-aliasing, ambient occlusion, and texture filtering.
Maybe it’s just because I’m stuck in 1997, idk, but all that stuff just looks bad to me.
Wrong. First thing you do is turn off TAA, DLSS, Frame generation, upscaling, Lumin, and if possible; anything related to sub-pixel geometry.
Ir better yet; don’t play UE5 where most of these things are forced upon you.
I have no idea what any of those are, heh. I stopped playing fancy games about ten years ago and now play 2d indie games.
Absolutely loved rdr2. It’s a gem. I played story mode three times and I love it to death.
If only rdr2 online wasn’t the pvp obnoxious pay-to-win microtransaction-riddled cesspit that it is, I’d still be playing that now.
Three full story playthroughs is a lot of dedication lol I love rdr2 but it sure drags on towards the end. Ive played to the late game probably six times but only actually pushed all the way to the end twice. Kudos!
Stretched out over a couple of years, with about 10% of game time actually spent on progressing the main story, it’s not that bad ☺️
I loved loafing around, really.
I was looking forward to play it once it was on GOG. I had avoided all spoilers for years. Only for Lemmy to spoil the apparently unavoidable ending via a meme on All…
I refunded it when I found out I had to create a rockstar account. I would like to play it though. Maybe in 20 years when it’s on gog 🤣
I don’t have that problem if you catch my drift ;)
Totally, I just like the ease of install for the steam deck lol
I just watched a good Any Austin video on RDR2, he studies the power line infrastructure on the map. Makes me want to play again.
Haven’t got far into the story just yet but I completed chapter 1 and so far so good, gameplay is tight and of course being a RS game the writing is excellent no complain from me
it just gets better and better
Does anyone know how it plays on the switch?
Yes, it doesnt
Thanks!
