My best buddy gifted it to me , can't wait to play it. thus far all info says it is an awesome game. The level of details on this game is massive. They put alot of focus on random events, which I want to experience most. All I want to know is , the game seems more like a gang game instead of a solo one.
I know I’m in the minority but I hated the first game and have zero interest in this one. I’m not a fan of Rockstar, I mean technically and graphically they are amazing but I find their games to be boring.

I feel like the point of Rockstar games are more to immerse the player in a realistic, authentic environment which is where most of the fun factor comes from. The writing is good too. I mean, what sounds more believable? Surviving a car crash at the same time nuclear bombs are exploding around you and then the main villain drags you to safety. Or dying after being shot in a valiant last stand?
Still, I do think most reviewers tend to oversell Rockstar's biggest games. They are always "living, breathing worlds with so much to do" but I haven't genuinely felt that way since GTA: San Andreas. It is more like they are living breathing worlds with less interiors to explore and all of the new content is in the online mode. I found myself playing GTA V less and less each time after completing it. I stuck with Red Dead Redemption a little longer but only because I hadn't played a western-themed game before.

I loved RDR1 including its dlc. I won't be playing RDR2 anytime soon. Reviews never seem to call Rockstar out on their crap.
+ GTA5's campaign was boring as hell outside of story missions. That doesn't appear to be a problem with RDR2. No liars dice is pure bullshit though.
- You couldn't do any crime whatsoever without the cops up your ass a few seconds later in GTA5. RDR2 seems to go right down that same path based off what I've seen and read. That's very annoying.
- GTA5/online made tons of money and they still neglected the singleplayer side of things with dlc. Undead Nightmare 2 would get me to buy the game as soon as it was announced.
I'm going to be waiting until sometime next year to pick this up.

I love this game but I have 1 major issue that really pisses me off.
My issue is accidentally bumping in to people results in you being wanted and eventually shot at by the law. This is ridiculous!!!!!! I spent 30 mins just trying to get inside the tailor to buy a new outfit.
First I finally get there, open the door and some asshole bumps me and steals my money. I chase him down and tie him up so I can get my money back. Witnesses see this and now the law is after me. Great!
I pay my stupid $10 bounty and make my way back to the tailor. I bump in to a person with my horse and I am now wanted for a non armed crime. I now have 5 people shooting and chasing me. Great!!
I then go to try and pay my bounty and just before I make it inside the post office, someone recognizes me from the "bump crime" and now I have to flee again!!!!!!!
This is absolutely ridiculous. Rockstar needs to patch this shit because bumping in to people happens all the time. Especially while riding your horse.

I just finished RDR 2 a few weeks ago and loved it! They improved on the first one in every possible way. There were plenty of times where I ignored the missions and just went exploring, fishing, hunting, killing, etc...
My only gripe would be the ending of the main story. I won't spoil it for anyone but basically no matter what you decide to do you get generally the same ending. I would've liked a few more possible endings but I can't complain considering the rest of the game was awesome.
I enjoyed Horizon Zero Dawn slightly more than RDR 2 but I'd still put RDR 2 in my top 10 favorite games I've played on PS4 to date.
