    I have managed to max out to completely evil by killing everything and everyone I see. When I go into a bar people will sprint out screaming before I have even  pulled a weapon out.

    I know I'm years late, but I finally got around to playing it after tiring myself out of FIFA for the past half year. I'm very early in the game, but just got out of a 2-hour trance after discove

We get to play it before the next Texas game. Can't believe it's that close

Last I looked, Best Buy had a deal where if you buy a PS4 Pro, you got this game for free. So if you're in the market for a PS4 Pro...

Is there a Mexico in this one?  There better be a fucking Mexico.

For what it's worth, this says that the entire Red Dead Redemption 1 map will be in the game. I have my doubts.

 

 

Toying around with the idea of getting the ps4 pro bundle and selling my current ps4.  Is the pro a big enough leap to justify the hassle and cost?

The full map has leaked if you really want to know.

All that stuff about weapons degrading and having to clean your guns has me a little worried.  These games are better when they make you feel like you can do anything, not when you have to keep track of mundane shit.   Like when, in between flying fighter jets and driving stunt motorcycles off mountain cliffs in GTA San Andreas and GTA V, they decided to make GTA IV about taking taxi cabs, keeping up with social obligations, and answering your cell phone at all times.

I am a bit worried too. Playing the witcher 3, I would have to carry 4 swords because I kept running out of repair items and would be way off in some corner killing shit when my sword would wear out. Shit was pretty lame.

1. I’m gonna be pissed when my warhorse gets hit by lightning! I kept him alive through all of RDR, with 2 reloads because once he ran off a cliff and another I got ambushed by cougars over by the oil derrick area north of Mexico at night...


2. Best Buy, Gamestop and frys are all doing a pre-order RDR2 and you can buy a Xbox one S or Xbox one X for $100 off, including bundles. I’m going to upgrade my Xbox one elite to an X this weekend with the deal. Deal is from oct 26th to nov 3.

Rockstar's stunning technological achievement runs at native 4K on the X, and also delivers the smoothest performance.

At the top of the stack sits Xbox One X, rendering natively on ultra HD displays and looking magnificent. Taking the runner-up position here is PlayStation 4 Pro, which uses a reconstruction technique - likely checkerboarding - to take a native 1920x2160 framebuffer up to 4K.

As expected, pixel-counts on PlayStation 4 resolve at the de facto standard 1080p, while the Xbox One S - quantifiably the lowest quality experience - delivers just 864p.

 

Getting a ton of 10/10 reviews. I’m still skeptical of how tedious it will be. 

Damn I'll have to get an X

Think I’m picking mine up tonight at 9p. An X with RDR2.

So I apparently have Red Dead 1 from many moons ago for PS3 -- but I never played it. I was knee deep in having two kids under the age of 5 running around the house so I think what happened was I picked it up on the cheap and just never got to it. It went into a box and made two moves before seeing the light of day. Wondering if I should fire that up and play through it before tackling RDR2. Thoughts?

Red Dead Redemption is really a great game. Many have it on their list of best games of all time.

I had a PS4.  I got the PS4 Pro God of War bundle.  Played GOW on the PS4 and the PS4 Pro and I honestly could not tell much of a difference.  My eyes are shitty and I have a cheap TCL 4k so take that FWIW.  I put an SSD in the PS4 Pro and that cut the load times by like 25-30%, definitely worth it to me.

edit: I gave the PS4 to a good friend's kid and made his year.

What happened to the PS4?

I honestly would love to be in a position to go back and play RDR1 again without knowing too much about it.

It is absolutely one of my all-time favorite games. Up there with the Halos, Zelda-link to the past, super Metroid, half-life, bioshock and system shock.

Of all of those RDR had probably one of the most beautiful transitions ever that I don’t want to spoil but leaving the US of A was a-mazing.

So does it come out at midnight tonight, if you have it preloaded?

Just traded in my One S for the X and RDR2 for $248.00.

$250 Credit for trading in console.

I believe I read for PS4: 12am est so 11p cst

For xbox1 it hasn’t been established if it’s gonna be the same. Normally that is the case though.

If you are picking up disc, you can play at 9p cst after you install all 100gb

Did the deal today. Got the fallout 76 white Xb1x. Although I have my Xbox one to my kiddos for overwatch and fortnite use now.

 

Of course I know have to keep track of my receipt now because I can’t preload fallout76 for 2 weeks still...

Yeah I love the white. Big reason why I liked the One S.e7cb533a1a4827e7c3fe69c609a03466.jpg

ah, glad I didn't know that (since I might have bought the disc and hate discs).  Looks like it's midnight for the download

My favorite game of that generation. Play it.

Played about 3 of the initial mission last night.

Anyone know when you get the war horse preorder bonus in the game? Want my war horse again, not this Tennessee whatever you start with.

Snow physics are pretty badass... lol

So I just moved into a new place and don’t get internet setup until next week. Do any of y’all know if I can install the disc(s) offline? I assume there will be a pretty huge update and patch soon.

I have to wait until sunday to play it. I am not happy about this.

Grabbing it on the way home from work and I'm off next week. I am happy about this

Out for delivery. Getting off work at noon. Weekend will be lost. 

Wife has to work tomorrow, kiddos soccer games will be over early morning! RDR2 Saturday ahead

Downloaded but haven't started yet and might get some time Sunday. Fucking adulthood.

It's a popular game.

Man, it looks great for the first hour or so, and then you start heading down the mountain in the train mission where things have begun to thaw and... magnificent

How long did it take to install for y'all? Mine says 4 fucking hours, wtf

I did the digital download and it was a 95GB download. I started it last night about 6pm and it finished sometime early this morning. 

glad I preloaded the game.

facial hair modification is cool, got a Tom Selleck look going.  Also pistol modification - I'm sure upgrading the cattleman revolver is a waste, but cool.

Yeah mine was about that. Bought it last night and started downloading it and went to bed

I’m hoping for moar tits.

that was an underrated advancement of RDR1 - first time a Rockstar game had full blown nudity, from what I remember.

Some of the controls are a bit clunky, mostly with hitching the horse (and turning it around in close quarters), and picking up weapons (but not wanting to drop your weapon, or choose the weapon to drop, or maybe it just ends up back at your horse anyhow?).  Accidentally roughed up a guy in Valentine trying to park my horse, had to beat the shit out of him.  No big deal.  Loot his beltbuckle because he fucking started it and then now everyone is getting all bent out of shape and witnessing shit?  Ran across a woman being kidnapped on the back of a horse - shot the dude off, couldn't both lasso the horse and remove the woman from it, shot the horse, might have knicked her, then she's running off to go witness an assault I did and well... you know how that goes.

Man though - brushing up against trees, the animals, the horizons, the mountains.  Damn impressive and I feel like I haven't scratched the surface.
