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.
