* Crash Update: " GFX STATE ERROR " *
You need to run a full benchmark run and the game wont crash while loading campaign

* Crash Update: 30.12. *
Did have my first crashes, updating my Nvidia Drivers solved the probleme for me


* Update after finishing the Main Story ( 100h and 85% ) : *
The story alone is 10/10 and, in my opinion, worth the 60€ I throw on it.
Some of the few games that actually gave me goosebumps.
In addition I have experienced the most authentic Wild West world I have ever encountered.
Remarkable! You will get lost in this world, it really feels alive and It's definitely worth
exploring! - a feeling I didnt have since my Witcher 3 playthrough.

Nevertheless it is a real shame that an international brand like Rockstar Games doesnt care
about a sloppy PC-port. There are a lot of different crashes, ffs some people cant even start
the game at all, which should not be a thing in 2020 - and most of all, not a thing from a triple
A gaming company.

I updated my crash fixes on top. I got very lucky and only had these two incidents
( the benchmark thing still exists to this day )

I have not tried the online part. I have only bought it for the singleplayer experience.

NO REVIEW BOMBING !!

- did not encounter any starting problems, nor crashes
( Did have problems with GTA V when they forced you to use their launcher, but worked perfectly fine with RDR2 )

- 20% off is a bummer, I agree

nevertheless it is still a very good and detailed game and Im talking about Witcher 3 level of detail. Textures could be sharper, but the in-depth gameplay is truly amazing.

Unfortunately it is extraordinarily demanding: Playing in 1440p. with 1080 Ti + i7 on mixed settings (optimized settings from Youtube) getting around 60 - ~40 FPS (worst case) which is still playable due to the " slow / relaxed gameplay-pace "
