What goes wrong
This was just plain boring. it reminded me of escort missions in MMOs.
Dont buy, the game wont run and crashes on start
couldn't use the game because of rockstar launcher. they probably didn't realize they were stealing my money tho.
Bah, the game is rly bad, rly shows its made for consoles with no idea what a game should be, I mean yes the landscape is good maybe even the writing but the control of your character, shooting...
everything is so slow. i want to play red dead 2 with my friend online. clicking online is not the answer. every loading screen takes 2 full minutes of slow black and white pictures.
What goes well
omfg this game is SO GOOD!!!
Great game with a great twist as you play more of the main missions. Ties things together well and truly shows character differences and development.
This game is the best game I have ever played.
amazing graphics and must experience game
this game is amazing I bought this when it was on sale ( Which I think is the time you should buy it ) and it has so much content that I spent 20 hours hunting!

!!Have not even touched multiplayer!! All of this review is for the singleplayer mode only. A fantastic game with +great graphics +great story +reasonably good controlls +acceptable Linux out of...
This game is unreal. Graphics are very immersive. If you have had a long rough day, just hop on your horse and go for a ride in the scenic beauty.
Finally finish my only playthrough, it is a beautiful game world. I spent hundred of hours collecting herbs, skins, gold, and carcasses only to find out it all resets after Arthur dies.
