Had this TV for over a month now.Using it for Gaming and Netflix etc. Good picture quality. But the connectivity is not good . I had to reset twice the TV as the airplay stopped responding. LG does not have HBO go which i did not know before buying this TV. Struggling to cast on Youtube as well. I get two options in cast list for TV and neither works. LG really need to work on a newer update for the OS

I loved RDR 1 and how it ran on the PS5 at 60fps. Much to my disappointment, this game only runs at 30fps on PS5, despite the fact that the PS5 could handle 60fps. While this doesn’t detract from the story or gameplay itself, it is jarring and ugly to say the least. Will be playing this on PC instead.

When my package came it was half open with no foam or pad or paper to protect it. The game was moving all over the box. How annoying best buy..

Red Dead Redemption 2 is honestly one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had. From the moment I started playing, I was completely immersed in the world Rockstar has created. The attention to detail is astonishing—whether it's the way the character’s hair blows in the wind or how the wildlife interacts with the environment, everything feels alive.
The story is what really pulls you in. You play as Arthur Morgan, a member of a gang struggling to survive in a rapidly changing world. The characters are incredibly well-written, each bringing their own unique personality and backstory. I found myself genuinely caring about what happened to them, and some of the moments hit me unexpectedly hard.
The gameplay is a mix of action and exploration that kept me on my toes. I loved the side quests, too; they felt meaningful and often led to memorable encounters. Whether I was hunting, fishing, or just taking in the breathtaking landscapes, I never felt bored. Each day brought a new adventure, and the dynamic weather made every scene feel different.
One thing I have to mention is the soundtrack. The music beautifully complements the experience, adding an emotional layer to the journey. I found myself humming the tunes long after I put down the controller.
Overall, Red Dead Redemption 2 isn't just a game; it's a journey that left a lasting impression. If you enjoy rich storytelling and an open-world to explore, this is a must-play. Just be prepared to lose track of time—once you dive in, it's hard to pull yourself out!

One Of My Favorite Games

This is a super fun open-world cowboy game. You get to do side missions throughout the world. You play as a character named Arthur Morgan and are able to customize his hair, clothes, guns, and horses. The storyline is super fun and you will gain attachments to at least 2 or 3 characters. Throughout the world, predators, other outlaws, and bountry hunters will try to kill you. You have the option to live a peaceful life in the woods by hunting deer or turkeys and setting up a tent. There is also a RDR2 Online which is also pretty fun. There is much more grunt work to be done online and the players can get annoying sometimes. Your character online is fully customizable. I love this game and this is my 2nd time getting it. I highly recommend it if you want a free roam world slightly different from the others where you are constantly fighting weird monsters all the time. I had also forgot to mention this, but the graphics are amazing as well.

I was a big fan of RDR, played hundreds of hours with it and loved to just wander around, hunt, pick flowers and just explore, taking my time to advance Through the main quest and enjoying the great story telling. I loved the Sergio Leone atmosphere and southern great west ambience. RDR2 is so similar but so different in many ways.
In this prequel, you are Arthur Morgan, a key member of the Van der Linde gang, the gang John Marston turned away from. This is set several years before RDR and still has the same great story telling though the ambience is very different from the first hame and closer to that of a True Grit (Jeff Bridges' version) with the addition of the group dynamic with its animosities. The characters usually have interesting back stories and you see them evolving as the story moves along.
You can still hunt and pick flowers, though flower picking is a lot more difficult than in the first RDR. The game dynamics are almost identical to the first one.
The world is huge and diverse, from the mountains of Colorado, to the swamps of Louisiana, through Virgina and a carribean island, there is a lot to explore and feast your eyes on. I must say though that I miss new Austin and Mexico from the first game. The ambience of the prequel is just slightly less engaging and immersive for me; the loner cowboy in the old west type story suits me a little better.
I am easily over 70 hours in and just barely scratched the surface of the game and can easily play an additional 100 to 200 hours before feeling like I need to move on. This is rare for me now that I am older and have a ton of other things to do besides playing Video Games.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is simply a game where you can get lost, where the journey is the adventure. As a birder, being pulled into birding in a game is something I never imagined. The settings, the ecosystem, the banter of the gang all add to this excitement.

What an experience

I'm not much of a gamer, I generally only play sports games. But during the lockdown I wanted to have some fun at home, and I love western films, so I bought Red Dead Redemption 2, despite not playing the first one.
It's really good.
The controls are difficult at first but become easy. The open western world is insanely unpredictable and realistic.
Sure, some parts of the story are a little contrived, and even a few aspects were kind of "woke" in my opinion, but it felt like I was part of a western film. The whole story and action reminded me a little bit of the movie "The Wild Bunch." That's how good this game is.
I even found myself getting attached to the main character, Arthur. I won't spoil anything, but let's just say his story pulled on the heartstrings a little.
I'm about 65% through right now and I'm already sad that the game will be over soon.
It's a great game and in my biased and unqualified opinion, the best one ever.

2018 Game of the Year is an understatement. Even after 5 years and new console releases, RDR2 is the greatest game ever!!! As a western fan, I love the Red Dead Redemption games, but you don’t have to like westerns to love this game. Story telling, drama, interaction, incredible details, breath taking scenery, secrets and mysteries galore… And, of course, horses… GTA of the West. Game of the century. Praying for a remaster to PS5 of both RDR & RDR2. As well as a RDR3.

Great game but if you order from Best Buy and have the game shipped to you, it will most likely show up with the disc loose inside. I'm not happy about it. That's after it happening with the last SEVERAL games I've ordered from them. To the point that I'm no longer ordering from Best Buy online.

Best Rockstar Game Yet

This game is a cinematic marvel. The production values are evident throughout each moment as you're taken back in time to run with outlaws clashing with the encroachment of civilization.
The gameplay isn't changed drastically from previous Rockstar games. If you aren't a fan of the shooting or the control of GTA V, you probably will dislike this. A multitude of other systems are introduced to simulate survival and maintaining a camp full of fellow outlaws. Most of these systems are inobtrusive or can be ignored.
Overall, I recommend this to people who like Rockstar's previous efforts.

When Rock star releases a video game it is a major event in the game industry. This is the same as Star wars being released in the movies. Red Dead II is basically an open world sandbox game set in the Wild west at its end. The game is open world and what a world the developers have createed. I actually felt what it was like being in the wild west on the frontier. Without spoiling anything this game will keep you busy for months to come. Why are you reading this review go buy this game. This game is Enhanced for ps4 pro if you have a ps4 pro system.

Really fun game. It starts slow, but picks up quick. Super immersive and can spend hours just riding your horse and getting yourself in trouble.
