Red Dead Redemption. Good? Bad?

I have had RDR for a while and I thought it would be an awesome game. Unfortunantly for me, I wasnt one of the many who love this game and I quickly put the game down and it slowly started collecting dust. I mean its a good game and all I personally just cant come to finish it because I have absolutly no patience and I hate all that time wasted riding your horse from town to town it just doesnt appeal to me. Im not here to bash it or anything Im just saying its not for me. What about everyone else? What do you all think about it?

I thought it was pretty overrated, like many Rockstar games... It has it moments tho.. If the horse riding part is your biggest complaint I do wanna make sure you know how to fast travel, right? I fast traveled through a large majority of the game.MethodManFTW

Yeah there's fast travel haha. For me I liked it, it was rather fun. But I simply didn't feel it's the masterpiece everyone was describing. It simply felt too normal to me. Though the time I spent platinuming the game was very much fun, one of the few games which the platinum didn't make it boring for me.

i kno its very hard to play it on school days or busy weekdays. Dont sell it just keep it with u and during vacation play it.

I found it boring, it had a good ending though.

I loved it and found it to be a masterpiece. The characters were great, the story was pretty awesome and the landscape had so much character that getting bored was never an issue for me. Multiplayer is really good too :)

amazing game for me i cant wait for the sequel CTR360

a sequel?

It was an amazing game but a tad overatted.

Open world games are hit or miss with me, but RDR was and still is my most favorite open world game ive ever played.

I love this game...loved it more than GTA4...probably my favorite open world game. Ive been thinking about giving GTA4 another go though since it has the add ons and such

I absolutely hate this game. Its completely overrated.

I liked it but I felt the world lacked life

It's down right repetitive, like my job... But thankfully like my job there is enough variation, and once I learnt how to fast travel ANYWHERE (gotta set up camp in the wild ;) ) I shot thru the game that fast... I kinda wish gta4 was as good, it's all grind, I enjoyed red dead's gameplay and task that had to be done, I was mighty surprised...I'd thought Id prefer a car over a horse O_Omasterds64

I thought it was the greatest Rockstar game I've ever played, I thought they did everything right.

It's overrated, but good. I think too many people were too blinded by the story to realize that the gameplay was overly easy and repetetive.

I personally loved it. I just love relaxing in the environments, and I love the characters' dialogue. Undead Nightmare's been pretty entertaining so far.

Awesome game.

i think its a great game. im playing through it right now and ive just reached blackwater (in the story, i glitched my way to all the unlocked areas way before). i was surprised how good the graphics look, especially when its all nice and sunny. didnt expect it from a rockstar game. lots of fun and interesting side stuff to do too. i got the legend of the west outfit before i even advanced in the story. quality game.

It was great fun, but not amazing.

Amazing, I loved it. Couldn't stand GTA4, but I loved RDR.

Red Dead Redemption is an excellent and beautiful game.

I guess it's one of those games you either hate or love.

Personally, I loved it. I felt like they nailed the western feel perfectly, and I actually liked riding my horse across the beautiful landscape and getting in shootouts along the way and/or doing some hunting. I can see how you might find it boring if your not a fan of the western genre, but I found riding my horse a fun little minigame in of itself. Every little detail like that culminated to make it one of the most immersive games I've ever played.

It was a good game.
Story and hunting animals was fun.
But once I beat the story and played the online a little the game kinda failed to keep me interested.
After being so hyped for the game and spending €60 on it(I rarely buy games full priced) I was left a little disappointed...

I thought the game was incredibly boring, so I just stopped after a couple of hours. Same goes for GTA IV, but at least RDR had a better mp. Rockstar is pretty much dead for me this gen. They try to make their games too serious, which just translates into a boring game. GTA used to be a fun, over the top type of game, but now it's all serious and boring (at least we have Saints Row and other crazy open world games).

RDR is probably in my top 5 favourite games of all time (or close to it). Half the fun was travelling & exploring the incredible detailed world. Fantastic game!

I completely loved the game but I was a little dissapointed with it in a few areas.

First off I was really dissapointed with Tall Trees area, it's simply way too small. I was so excited to finally get into that part of the map in the story and I expected this massive giant forest you could get lost in, but instead it only takes less than 2 minutes to ride through the whole thing. Very dissapointed.

I found the hunting to be very unrealistic and dissapointing aswell, in real life hunting, animals don't just run up to you and attack you in massive waves, nor do you just run up to an animal and blow it's head off. In real life you track the animal and follow it's tracks and the animal moves around, it just doesn't charge at you out of nowhere, animals tend to avoid humans. And who the hell goes "hunting" with a colt 1911 pistol?Who the hell hunts with any pistol for that matter, all you do in the game is ride up to the animal on your horse with a handgun and blast an entire clip in it's face and call it hunting. Very dissapointing, I expected better.

No trians in Multiplayer also was dissapointing. It would have been AWESOME to rob a train with your buddies online but you can't.

And I found most of the gang hideouts to be pretty easy and pointless especially in MP as there were only like two or three gang hideouts that would give you decent or good XP, all the others were just a waste of time.

Also there are alot of places in the game that don't have any purpose whatsoever but they are land marks on the map, for instance take this place called warthington ranch in the Story mode, it's marked on the map but it serves literally no purpose at all. Also I was hoping to see a "Good, the bad and the ugly" duel/grave site location in the game but there isn't any.

Overall great game but just a few things I found to be underdeveloped.

Good...sort of....bad....sort of....boring...yes....repetitive...yes..
