Red Dead Redemption 2, a month later

Red Dead Redemption 2 has been away for a month, which takes about the time needed for Arthur Morgan to stumble from Valentine to Saint Denis. The blockbuster western had already been controversial before its launch, but criticism and fan reaction were strong. The ride was short but the road had some occasional bumps. This is what has happened since the release.

• Red Dead Redemption 2 official release October 26. Auditors, including KotakuKirk Hamilton praises the attention to detail and the remarkable performance of the game, even as a persistent question on the color discussion about Rockstar's working conditions. It brings in $ 725 million over the launch weekend, making it the most important opening weekend of the entertainment history.
• Some players downloading the digital edition find themselves stuck with extremely long download times As the gross size of the game (92,742 GB) leaves something to be desired, except for the fastest speeds.
• Players are trained in Red Dead Redemption 2The world ofand impressions range from positive to critical. Some find themselves attracted by some NPCs or are trapped in flights and intense hunting trips. Others, like me, enjoy the quieter moments but fear that things do look a bit too much like an amusement park. After all, you can not pet cats!
• Players encounter bugs, including wild beasts that knock down NPCs from the sky, spin people, and create weird pretzels. Fortunately, they are rare.
• My colleague Tim Rogers launches into the biggest beard of the game. It's a process that involves drinking a lot of tonics and leaving Arthur helpless, but he ends up having a face worthy of Grizzly Adams.

• After almost a month without any information other than "sometime in November", Rockstar finally announces a closed beta for Red Dead Online. Players who bought the ultimate edition can start the multiplayer mode tomorrow, while those who bought the game from October 26 to 29 can play Thursday. All others have to wait until Friday to ride with their team.

As the game develops, players will undoubtedly cause problems Red Dead Online and discover more hidden secrets. From mysteries to online hijinks to reflections and more, we'll talk about this game – the good and the bad – for a long time.
