Red Dead Redemption 2 Review - IGN

Red Dead Redemption 2 is a game of rare quality; a meticulously polished open world ode to the outlaw era.

NecrumOddBoy2014d ago

Well GOW and RDR2 are gonna battle it out :) Great year!

chrisx2014d ago (Edited 2014d ago )

I had no doubt this would be a masterpiece....rockstar are top quality.I'll be spending over 100hrs on this easily!

TyrellCorp2014d ago

10’s are dropping everywhere! I cannot wait to get lost in the west all over again. Thank you R*!

nucky642014d ago

i don't think there are any "losers" in that fight - both are winners.

pody2014d ago

@chrisx

Just like the Rockstar developers did weekly! Good for you.

darthv722014d ago

hmm... axe vs gun.

What's that old phrase about bringing a knife to a gun fight....?

UltraNova2013d ago

So what happened to IGN's "too much variety" point docking policy?

Hmm

bouzebbal2013d ago

Holy sh**, the horse's balls shrink in the cold! No one does detail like Rockstar.

UltraNova2014d ago

Shrinking horse balls I hear? Day 1!

TiredandRetired2014d ago (Edited 2014d ago )

You guys think I'm mocking, but I'm being serious! Who gets THAT detailed? haha

The detail in the game already looks insanely deep.... then you have shrinking testicles!

This game is going to be amazing and I doubt I'll play much else for the rest of the year.

franwex2014d ago (Edited 2014d ago )

The fact that they took time to design the balls was pretty detailed. Haha. They did design balls in gtav so R* is the only one that does balls.

rainslacker2013d ago (Edited 2013d ago )

I just kind of feel sorry for the person who had to program that, the person who had to draw it, the person who had to animate it, and then the game testers who had to spend countless hours testing if it worked properly....and then wonder what kind of research they had to all do to figure out if it was authentic and realistic.

It's Redder, Deader, and Redemption...ier :)

rainslacker2013d ago (Edited 2013d ago )

Guess there isn't too much Redemption for IGN to knock off half a point. Seems like R* hit the sweet spot of not overdoing it.

Nitrowolf22014d ago

We are almost there guys!!

Works gonna be a long one today lol

sander97022014d ago

I'm saying goodbye internet from now on, all I wanted to know is that tomorrow I will be playing the greatest game ever made to-date no hyperbole needed!

lxeasy2014d ago

My game of the year, I've been waiting WAY TOO LONG for this one!

Blu3_Berry2014d ago

While everyone else is waiting on the game to arrive, I'm just here waiting for that one clickbait review cause you know it's gonna happen from some off brand unknown clickbait reviewer.

TiredandRetired2014d ago

Well Slant Magazine already gave it 3 1/2 stars, 70 on Metacritic while there are currently 34 perfect 100s out of 50 reviews posted. A 97 Metacritic, that's insane!

sssb2014d ago

Yep 10 starting to appear everywhere :)

Relientk772014d ago

Damn, starting off really strong.

6 Games That Genuinely Deserve A Current-Gen Upgrade

Games such as Mad Max, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Batman: Arkham Knight desperately deserve a modern-day revisit.

thorstein13d ago

Mad Max is underrated. Such a fun game.

Cacabunga12d ago (Edited 12d ago )

RDR2 still looks astounding on PS4 Pro. i cannot imagine how it could look with a next gen upgrade.

JonTheGod12d ago (Edited 12d ago )

Probably not very different.

No idea why this article is highlighting recent beautiful graphically-advanced games and saying they need current gen makeovers. They already look better than most new releases; just compare Arkham Knight and Suicide Squad!

exputers12d ago

I see what you did there.

Yi-Long12d ago

It's obviously never gonna happen since Sony killed the game and studio, but Driveclub. Even in its current state, 10 years after release, it still puts many competitors to shame ...

Demetrius12d ago

I'm not into racing games but yeah I even looked at gameplay of that sometimes

Demetrius12d ago

Mad max ikr! Far cry primal, it amuses me how ubisoft just left ac unity hanging, sadly most of the good staff left from rocksteady while being forced to make that abomination smh

hmm kinda out there i find red dead 2 a over hyped game i am sure there are other's out there worthy of this award.

Are we saying rdr 2 mp is better than the first one?

The cover shooting better on #2 than #1?

I mean they reused 80% of rdr 1 map on rdr 2

smolinsk30d ago

Red Dead Redemption 1 was better. A better story that's for sure but the world in red Dead Redemption 2 is fantastic. But overall yes Red Dead Redemption 2 is overhyped but with best living World ever made.

just_looken30d ago (Edited 30d ago )

Oh rdr 2 world how you leave tracks what you can do and the npc's are great no doubt

For me its the forced guns one way to play missions and the camp you can do nothing be a ass and there is no change sense none of the hunting/donating.bounty/karma etc even taking care of your horse matters. Then you got the horse inventory along with them bringing in realistic inventory but at the same time have that slomo crap pick a lane is it a wild west sim or a max payne rip off.

shinoff218330d ago (Edited 30d ago )

Plus who cares about the mp. Single player is where it's at.

I don't think it's the best sequel either. I liked it but I can see why some say it's overhyped. That's because it was. Great game still. I'd take xcom 2 as a better sequel. I'm sure there's plenty others.

just_looken30d ago

We care about mp because of gta v even if you been living under a rock you know what gtao did to gta v dlc.

Though rdr 2 mp failed it still put time/resources and budget away from the single player for a subpar experience compared to the first.

lucasnooker31d ago

Hmmm don’t know about that one myself. There’s some good sequels there….

No way last of us 2 was a better sequel than the original resident evil 2. The story of TLOU2 was a huge let down for me!

Assassins creed 2 was a vast improvement over the original and still the very best of the entire franchise imo.

Half-life 2 will always be legendary.

RDR2 is great but the best sequel ever? I don’t think so… just my opinion though I guess

shinoff218330d ago

Shoot down last of us 2 but bring up assassins creed 2. What in the world.

anast31d ago

Last of Us 2 would be mine and Dark Souls 3 has to be up there.

raWfodog30d ago

I also enjoyed TLOU2 but RDR2 edges it out for me. Both hit me in the feels but RDR2 just a little bit more lol.

anast30d ago

RDR2 is an excellent game. One of my top 10 of all time.

SimpleSlave30d ago

Sure, if you started playing game yesterday and just for this series. Otherwise? lol... No.
