very good

Very good.

Amazing game, 174 hours currently put into it and I still haven't finished the story. Some may assume this is from just being afk or doing every challenge ever but no. If you've ever played the 1st one, you know you can meet strangers and get tangled up in small side stories. The same goes for this second edition in the Red Dead franchise. Although it is so much more advanced than the 1st.

The story and graphics are amazing, photo mode is awesome and the music is immersive.

I play it a bit, it's good.

PROBLEMS:
Few problems so far. Things I've ran into are:

• Textures did not make the shop look different (fixed by re-logging)
• I moved 5k of water into a chest, and it all dissapeared. Maybe the count was too high? If so the game should say so. That was 15k of money down the drain for me
• For the farm, the client cannot ready the plots or plant seeds or see the plants grow. Only the host can for some reason (fixed this by re-logging)
• Host can only see customers rubbish in the store. Client can't see piles of rubbish to clean. (The cleaning robot kind of takes this issue away)
• The chat gets stuck after a while so I'm unable to see what has been sold, or what other players have said. Scrolling down or typing doesnt fix it
• The chat glitches and all text looks glitched and symbolised
• The shop doors swing uncontrollably and warp a bit when you run into them or if customers collide with them

GAMEPLAY:
For someone who doesn't play these type of games often, or hasn't played the 1st game. I have had/am having a ton of fun. This game is keeping me entertained as a new player and I think I'll be sticking around for a long time to keep my shop growing! All of the mechanics and aspects of upgrading and discovering new recipies constantly rewards the player for their hard work, and by work, I mean fun!

GRAPHICS:
Of course depending on what a game is trying to be, graphics can be anything from simple shapes and squares to photo-realistic. I believe this game is absoloutely fine. It has that cartoon feel that is so wishes to have and it's fine. Obviously reminisent of games like Minecraft and other Indie adventure type games. But that's just how it is these days in gaming. The lighting is beautiful and bright, and being able to texture various parts of the shop gives it that personal touch and further attachment to the players personality.

MECHANICS:
Mechanics are very simple. The given tutorial in the menu runs you through everything, and it isn't hard to learn. Once you've played for 15 minutes or so it's quite simple. That is for a keyboard and mouse, perhaps for a controller it's even easier. But with whatever you're comfortable using it'll be fine for these games requirements. I've done a lot of fishing too and the little mini game you get to do passes the time.

EASY TO RUN THE GAME?:
Yes. Using an i7 8700k and a 1070.
No FPS drops, crashes or bad loading times.
Guaruntee the negative reviews on these points are from the likes of laptop users that purchased their equipment from Curry's PC 4 years ago. So ignore them.

WHAT COULD BE ADDED?:
I see the areas on the map, and "under construction" signs which close them off in the world. Looking forward to the new areas and what they'll look like, however this is what could be added to make the experience better:

• More items to sell
• Extra decorative furniture and items (in different styles?)
• Further customization for the shop (different textures?)
• Another type of robot, (perhaps a security one?)

OVERALL OPINION:
It's a fun game to play with others. Solo is an option too but the idea of running a shop with a friend like a real business really brings out the full potential of the game (and your friendship). It's like simulator with how many things you can do! It really feels like your own shop, even a home after time. Get it, try it, and don't let other reviews put you off till YOU have given it a try. Don't like it? Play under 2 hours and refund it then. But I believe you won't want to be doing that after 119 minutes of playing ;)

EDIT:

They deleted my ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ shop. Stairs everywhere, and nothing else. ♥♥♥♥♥.

I want this game to Escape my library. (Joke credit to my friend: Awake).

- Game starts in 640 x 480 and the buttons go out of place of the text. So that's annoying to click through.
- The resolution options take 10 years to scroll down, and by the time I get my res my finger has died. Oh, and the ends of the res numbers are cut off, much like I want my finger to be.
- 1st time playing, got disconnected at 52 minutes.
- 2nd time playing, got stuck in a office booth by a chair and the side wall of booth. Had to restart.
- 3rd time playing, Options and video settings got stuck on screen while I could still play. Couldn't undo it, was matrix of damn options and the game screen went dark automatically because it assumed I was changing the bloody settings. After 5 minutes of clicking I un-glitched it and said "Ayyy I fixed it" and then we got DISCONNECTED.

Great game if you're blind, a double arm amputee, have immobility syndrome or are dead.

I work in a pen shop.

Already better than that 3 year old game H1Z1.

I play this by myself because I have no friends. So it's basically the same experience as participating in any hobby of mine. I even screenshotted every character intro screen, yes I am that sad.

After investing over 5 years into this game, it is now a free to play, battle royal piece of garbage.

Oh and they just gave Prime to all existing accounts on CS:GO before this update. Does that not defeat the whole purpose of Prime? Every community server I now join, or Matchmaking game I play there are now people just laughing & spinbotting because of your crap idea.

This game is dying, this update will not bring in new players. You've just pushed your "fans" or what's left of them further away. The battle royal is bad, just like a larger deathmatch with 1 life on a different map. Oh how cool, refreshing and inventive. After every new, bad update over the years you've just given your longest playing community a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ pin to say thanks and then ♥♥♥♥♥♥ us all while doing so.

♥♥♥♥ this game.
