Satisfied dogs, insidious horses and clumsy members of the ku-klux-klan

Why Red Dead Redemption 2 is the best and worst video game in the world

Red Dead Redemption 2 everywhere. About the game, even the singer Grimes and FBK employees tweet. Critics put the “dozens” new Rockstar Western, bloggers call it boring and prolonged. Users are enthusiastic about realism - they are answered by those who infuriate that the horse constantly throws them out of the saddle. Medusa gathered in one place that the game can be loved and hated.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is the best game in the world

Local nature is amazing. This is destroyed!

Seriously, it’s better not to look.

The Red Dead Redemption 2 is a terribly realistic snow physics. For example, we had fun for a long time with carpets that were lowered from the mountains - just to see how they roll down, leaving a rut along. Do not condemn ...

In the afternoon you are the editor of Medusa. You live in Riga, you say Laby to everyone, eat Carums cheeses. And in the evening - lonely cowboy rushing into the sunset.

But even screaming cowboys are sometimes silent. Because the stars and the sunset sky say to them. We are too sentimental, right?

But our special correspondent Konstantin Benyumov, instead of contemplation of nature, is engaged in hunting. He is proud that he managed to catch the legendary badger!

In general, Red Dead Redemption 2 is an important game for those who grew up without a father or just never went fishing. Here you can go to the mountain lake, drink beer and remove the failure (also legendary!). Yes, you can also mock fish. But we do not advise.

When you are offered to go fishing in the plot, do not refuse. The interlocutors will tell a bunch of cool stories, and then they will also sing. Idyll!

For those who revived in words about beer and fishing - of course, you can drink in Red Dead Redemption 2! But the consequences will be terrible.

The spoiler - it’s better not to go out to the duel.

Sometimes your friends decide to throw a party. Celebrations are not much different from real life: they sing songs, tell stories, sometimes they put them in the corner and are quietly driven.

However, Red Dead Redemption 2 is not only fishing and parties. There is also a cultural rest. For example, a theater, where during a performance you can shout at the artists! Well, or praise them if you like how they perform.

The game tells many small stories. You can calmly jump through the woods and suddenly stumble upon members of the Ku-Klux-Clan. Here they accidentally set themselves up.

But - they drop a cross on themselves. Oops!

Despite the fact that the action of the game takes place at the end of the 19th century, there is enough insanity bordering on fiction. Here is the robot, which was collected by the scientist, suspiciously reminiscent of Nicholas Tesla. Guess how it will end.

Realism? PF-F! What about flying saucers?

Now important. In the Red Dead Redemption 2 you can iron dogs! Animals whiten joyfully, run around the protagonist and wag their tail. Real dogs are terribly jealous at the sight of this. Look, for example, to the reaction of the Biglah by the name of Bell.

In general, Red Dead Redemption 2 sometimes scares its realism. See what happens to the allies of the protagonist with careless driving.

You can also follow the life of local residents. They hack at work, suffer from alcoholism, play harmonica well. Each character has a day scheduled for a clock. Realism!

And remember the challenge in which people jumped out of cars and danced under the song of rapper Drake? Here, too, it is possible. Even horses participate!

Of course, only in such a game, Polygon journalists can fully review the hats. 10/10.

Of course, the game has enough strange bugs - you just take a look at how these poor fellows twisted. But for such funny mistakes, we only love RDR2 more strongly. ❤️

Red Dead Redemption 2 is also music. I immediately want to put on a hat, jump onto the horse and jump into Jurmala.

And most importantly - the songs of Johnny Kash are perfectly fed on the frames from the game. Probably true harmony looks somehow.

Red Dead Redemption 2 - The worst game in the world

Game. Too much. Slow. The main character is not in a hurry at all. When you arrive at the Allied camp, he begins to walk at all as if he is swimming in a vat with jelly (for some reason you can’t run around the camp). What is the problem, Rockstar?

It may seem that the whole game is continuous horse racing. You rush first in one place, then come back ... Remember that it would actually be good to wash or cut your hair-and halfway you turn into the nearest city. The card is huge. To get around it without a horse, Utubeber from the How Big Is the Map channel? It took almost two hours of real time.

Often nothing happens on plot missions for 15 minutes: you just jump on a horse and chat with someone. For example, about death from electricity. Sometimes it is exciting, sometimes not very.

The first 20-25 hours of the game are devoted to contemplation: hunting, fishing, sunsets, long, non-consumer dialogues. The plot does not develop up to the third chapter. Some throw RDR 2, and without reaching the most interesting. We understand them.

Realism is cool. But sometimes I want the game to spare! The worst of all with horses: they often slide, fall from the mountains at the most inappropriate moments or flood you vilely.

Be sure to watch the video below. This is a real horse conspiracy. We are sure that animals have long planned it.

The horse does not always resort to the whistle of the protagonist (because it turns out to be too far from him). And then you go to the place on foot. On a huge map. Sometimes - in the snow.

When you saddle the horse, the main character can accidentally attack the nearest passerby - these actions are tied to the same button. After that, the entire district police begins to chase after him.

We remind you that realism is cool. But when a regular haystack is knocked out of the saddle ... Oh!
