There is a horse, you ride it
There is a gun, you shoot it
There is Edgar Ross, you swear at it

For a 14 year old game, the spirit of the Wild West still lives in it!
This and RDR2 are a true must-have if you like Wild West, cowboys, outlaws, guns, horses, the prairies etc

Undead nightmare was also very much an interesting side-story!
If you encounter a chupacabra - deal with it immediately if you want to save your time...

If it was only for the OUTRAGEOUS price tag for this re-release of a 2010 game, I would recommend it if you want to relive the glory days. However, this is without a doubt, the most poorly optimized PC port I have ever played. Extreme frame rate issues no matter what graphical settings I use; this is coming from a PC that can play the sequel on ultra settings. DO NOT BUY THIS PC PORT

I bought rdr1 on christmas day and when I opened, mind you, a singleplayer game, they wanted to log in Rockstar Games account.. however they disconnected me from my Rockstar account and when I entered the correct email and password, they asked me for a verification code. Unfortunately, the email I have my rockstar games account created with no longer exists, so they sent the verification code to an email I can no longer access. I wrote to their support team, where they required information like my Steam account details, Steam account ID, GTA 5 CD key, and I even sent them the transaction ID since they asked for the purchase email of GTA 5, which I bought in 2016, so I no longer have that email. They also wanted the date when I linked the account, but I don’t know that date either (who would really remember that?).

I think I provided them with enough information, but unfortunately, they said they couldn’t verify that I’m the account owner. I even sent them a screenshot clearly showing that their ♥♥♥♥♥♥ Rockstar launcher is asking me for an email that no longer exists, and they could see that I can’t use a different email since my Steam is linked to that Rockstar account. Nothing helped.

I contacted their support twice, and both times they rejected my case. Then I logged into my old Rockstar account to use their live chat. The first time, they outright rejected my ticket (I don’t know why), and the second time, I was connected to an employee to whom I explained my situation. He told me they don’t handle this type of problem via live chat and that I should contact them via email support instead. I tried to explain that I already did that twice and was rejected both times, but I didn’t have the chance since the guy wrote, "It was my pleasure assisting you today," and closed the ticket.

It’s been almost a month now, and I still can’t play their games. I’ve tried everything, and nothing works. Their games are great, but their support team is one of the worst.


PS: If there is someone who has a similar problem and somehow solved it, please let me know how.

+Supported Native 4K resolution, 16:9 also ultrawide 21:9 monitor viewing
+HDR introduced (Looks amazing daylight, Sunrise, Sunset, and Moonlight)
+Supported DLSS 3.7 for low end PC + AMD FSR upscaling method
+Nvidia Reflex + Boost supported
+144Hz supported
+Hardcore mode + Undead Nightmare DLC (haven't played these 2 modes yet)

-Wasted potential few NPCs storyline particularly regarding main story as support

Beat the main storyline at 21hrs, already forgotten middle storyline since last proper ending played at 2010 on Xbox 360 era,

Game open world mechanics aged real well, even better stranger missions than GTA IV, interactions with NPC changed and talk in townfolks differ with each honor rank, there is no proper subs for pedestrian NPCs, but certainly has unique dialogues among them based on their profession and environments. Rockstar has streak record of amazing open world design, no doubt.

9/10
-Excellent game with minor disappointment of few support characters in storyline

Don't get me wrong, I love RDR and its sequel. However, I really hate Rockstar and the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ that they've pulled with this port of a game from the 2010s.

First, it costs way too much. It should be way cheaper than $50 bucks.

Second, it's a single player game. Which is fine and dandy, but I shouldn't require an internet connection to play it.

Lastly, you have to use the Rockstar launcher to play this game. So if you can't log in to Rockstars online services you are blocked from playing this game.

♥♥♥♥ Rockstar, man...

PC Port is insanely good but textures show their age but modders have already done the job!!!

The ONLY reason why this is a dislike is simply for the price. 50$ for a 7th Generation game is actually insane. Should be 20$ at the most. Its 5$ on the Xbox Store like what are we talking about

Peak... 9/10, This would be 10/10 but red dead redemption 2 exists. The fact that this 10 year old games amazing story and graphics still hold up for this day and age and the 144fps really helps the immersion this is nothing less than peak rockstar knows what the ♥♥♥♥ there doing with games like these and the ending somehow managed to make me cry even tho I've seen it all before even a simple side mission about a women and her perfect day made me tear up twice cause she came back zombified in red dead nightmare and that dlc,,, they just dont make ♥♥♥♥ like this anymore.

really good, not worth $40 though so gonna wait for it to go on a steeper sale
