When it comes to Red Dead Redemption 2 , the shooting mechanics in the game are both literally and figuratively hit or miss. When it comes to the PC port of the game, it's difficult to predict how that player base is going to react to the shooting in the game, as most of them will be using a mouse and keyboard as opposed to the controllers console gamers employed. The precision that's possible with mouse and keyboard could alleviate most of the issues, or could more clearly show the game's shortcomi


There are only two minor problems with the way that controls are adapted for the PC. One is that mouse prompts are initially unintuitive. When the left mouse button is highlighted for a prompt, it may seem like the right is, and vice versa. It’s easy enough once you figure it out through trial and error, but it’s still poor UI design. The other problem is that the controls often have the player using smaller fingers to hold down buttons that would have probably been pressed with thumbs in console control schemes, which is somewhat awkw

The main problem with the game is that it is very difficult to actually start playing. There is a good chance that the game will crash on launch for a variety of reasons. For one, it only works with the very most recent version of the Nvidia driver.
