RDR 2 succeeds as both a prequel to Red Dead Redemption and a story in its own right, and though it can take some patience, your effort is well worth it.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is Rockstar Games’ latest heavyweight, with nearly 40K concurrent players even five years after the (staggered) PC launch. Despite that, it can be a challenge to run the game on midrange and low-end PCs. RDR2 has gotten NVIDIA DLSS and AMD FSR 2 support following poor reception from Steam gamers.
"Use the Windows “High Performance” power profile and set your GPU power management mode to the same."
Not if you use AMD Ryzen CPU's. That needs to be set to balanced. "Overclock your GPU if you’re narrowly missing the 60 FPS mark." Actually it would be better to undervolt and increase the clock speed and see how stable it is in game.
Take-Two announced its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, and Grand Theft Auto V has passed a big sales milestone.
GTA V had a budget of 265 million, while RDR 2’s budget was between 370-500 million. Rockstar Games is one of the few studios that can invest so extensively in projects without fearing a lack of return.
I guess I'm in the minority, but I bought GTA5 on launch day (ps3) and to this day have yet to beat it. The game just kinda bored me. A lot of time has passed though, I wonder how much my opinion would change if I played it now. I'll give it another go, one day...
Steam's Summer Sale looks primed for Steam Deck players - with a huge collection of titles on offer for the handheld.
I only respect 10/10 scores lol. Less than a day!!!
Are there any review scores for RDR2?!
I'm surprised the reviewer gave this a 9. Had I not seen the score beforehand, I would have figured him to give about a 6.5 or 7. He mentions all the mechanics and story lines, and characters, but really just kind of seems meh (nitpicky just to be so?) about all of it, yet gives it a 9. This is an odd review for me, it doesn't feel true to the score that was given.
Probably closer to what it deserves. Nothing against them but as someone who has played all of the GTA games I never feel like these Rockstar games deserve the 98-97 scores that they have. They get 10/10 scores just because they take so long to make a game and people feel the need to reward them with a 10 b/c of it. When a game like the Witcher 3 has a 92 but was far more interesting and fun to play than any GTA I call bias towards Rockstar.
You know one of these days I think Rockstar is gonna mess up but nope, 97 on Metacritic, we once again have a game of the generation level product from them
