It's what I call the Troll Triangle.
1) Xbox fans hating on the PS4/Pro
2) Playstation fans hating on XB1/XB1X
3) PC fans hating on all the above
That's fair enough, but my impression was most GAFers who played it were not disappointed.How is excitement relevant to the quality of the game?
I get what you're saying, but do you live in the western country during the 19th century? For me personally, realism makes the game more immersive, enjoyable and therefore fun.Most of them complain about the clumsy controls,long travels and that its not fun,and I agree with them, the game doesn't deserves the praises it got,the visuals are great,but that's all there is about this game,videogames are meant to be fun,if I want a realistic world I just live my own life

"The game is slow, boring and punitive for all the bad reasons. It's slow because controls are awful, the world is huge and empty and you spend your time going from A to B and dying for stupid reasons. It's boring because all the quests are the same, you have narrative where Rockstar believe they can master dialogues as well as Tarantino, then you have a very bad gunfight where you cover/auto-aim/shoot, have a quick narrative and rinse and repeat. The rest of your time you actually work. You cook, you collect grass, you hunt animals for hours, you clean stuff, you clean yourself, you clean your horse, you clean your guns, etc. It's a miracle you don't have to brush your teeth and wipe your ass."
For a 97 Metacritic GOTY billion-dollar seller, this review, by an ACTUAL GAMER is damning.

absolutly horrible, this game is one of the worst ive ever played, all these reviews are fake, i think someone payed someone else to write all these positive reviews almost everyone of them says " bets game ever" or something along those lines, dont buy it its freakin horrible and they tryed to decive you with these reviews, i just hope they dont deny my oppinion to cover up the truth
Wrong.And user reviews are even less reliable.
Everyone!But what about Nintendo? Who's hating on Nintendo!
He ain't wrong."No FOV slider, negative review."
Dunkey gives it a 3/5
I'm going with that.
I always believed (and continue to believe) that the gaming press is dishing out 10s because of fear from backlash from the fanboys. We all know that nerds can´t handle criticism, as seen when Rotten Tomatoes had to shut down their commentaries because Dark Knight Rises got a couple of unfavourable reviews, or when Zelda fans lost their fucking shit when Twilight Princess got 8.8 on Gamespot. They can´t even handle a delayment, as seen with No Man´s Sky.
To avoid these insane reactions, with death threats, doxxing, and online harrassment, it´s just easier to score a 10 and be done with it. It inflates the scores, with everything below an 8 being complete garbage, but what are you gonna do? To face the massive mobs of unstable internet nerds is not something one wishes to do, it´s scary, uncomfortable and frustrating. Nobody wants to be a victim of internet bullying, but sadly, that is the state of the gaming landscape today.
I've done ~80 missions out of about 110, It's a solid 8/10 game. The missions eventually wore thin, despite the strong script and well done voice overs it always devolves to somewhat awkward firefights. ~50x of that so far and I got kinda tired of it. I prefer exploring the world and hunting, honestly.
But what about Nintendo? Who's hating on Nintendo!
Take the media score, 9.7. Take the user score, 7.7. Now put them both together and take their average, 8.7. There, looks better now.
ride horse for 15 minutes
kill 3 guys
ride horse for 15 minutes kill 4 guys ride horse for 15 minutes kill 2 guys you get the point. its a bit boring to me how wide everything is but i do have to compliment this games great depth and huge amount of content.the wild west isnt just a backdrop but actually integrated into the game and fluently incorporated the aesthetic. the music was pretty generic, it didnt accomplish much or do anything innovative but it still sounded like what you would expect from a huge budget game like this so idk what these 10/10 reviewers are talking about with the soundtrack being out of this world. wasnt for me, pick it up if you want, but i was just bored as **** by the down time in the game
Player movement is really killing this game for me' slow and clunky. Looks nice though.
Extremely slow, with tons of unnecessary additions that only worsen the game.
Honestly, really disappointed with this, it seems like GTA V was Rockstars last hurrah. This game doesnt improve on GTA V, not even graphically.
Bored ananistic gameplay.
I do not like westerns. Infinite sandbox, no active gameplay.
Thats a good reason to sent a first-person game to the trash. I get motion sickness from low fov, if the game doesn't offer one, then it deserves to be trashed for it. The only way to do that on Steam page is to leave a review and I am sure a fuck not giving it a positive if it is missing an essential feature. The bigger problem is that there are no neutral reviews on Steam.
Try reading the thread next time. My statement, that you are quoting, has nothing to do with RDR2.The game does have an FOV slider.... its under First Person camera controls
7.6 it`s much closer to the appropriate score for this game than 97.
I've done ~80 missions out of about 110
The illustration with which the game is advertised is DESPICABLE, and even I can draw better than that. Even the goddamn FONT of the title is ugly.)
Most of em are "0/10 no pc version fuck you rockstar."
What idiot wrote this and why are you quoting it?And some commentary via https://culture.vg which just published a 3/5 review of the game.
Admittedly, the media reviews should have reflected the sloppy controls of the game and tedious "real life eat etc." stuff. Giving 10/10 to a game that has clear flaws makes no sense.
For those complaining that 0/10 reviews are just "sloppy controls", how many 10/10 are just "BEST GAME OF GENERATION", they're equally stupid.
Also, stop saying its getting bad reviews because "it's not for the masses". Really? The game is outselling almost everything other game this generation, but somehow "its not for the masses"?
