Red Dead Redemption 2

7/8 Years in development should be the best game in history. Not getting it personally, as don't game anymore, but will be interested to see people's thoughts on it.
 
It's going to have to really go some to topple WCW/NWO Revenge on N64 from the top of my list.
 
Just been delivered. Not allowed it until Christmas so it needs to go away!

Nothing beat grabbing weapons out of the crowd and beating the everlasting crap out of your opponent with it!

As for Red Dead 2, I loved the first one. I've just started playing it, so I'm excited to see where it leads. I've tried to avoid as much in the way of spoilers from previews, news articles etc so as to keep myself in the dark. Wanted to get the most enjoyment possible put of it.

How are you finding it so far? How open world is it? Can you just go around doing random stuff?

Yep.

Keep ruining Christmas because we tend to just buy things we want / need through the year and then when it comes to Christmas we have nothing to buy / get so it's not as good. Think this year I will end up waking everybody else up at 3AM!

Did you play the first one Nick? It will definitely be open world and allow you to go round doing random stuff.

On another note I have heard they aren't releasing the multiplayer for another 4 months! If the single player was 100GB, surely any update will be another 40? So 140GB for a game!!

Yeah had the first one (was mostly my wife who played it though and it was a while ago). I just meant more in terms of how free is this one.

With GTA sometimes I got a bit annoyed when it keeps trying to force me to do missions when I just wanted to go and shoot people for no reason!

140GB is a fair old amount as well. Especially on the 500GB models.

I've only just finished the prologue I guess is the word for it, basically the first couple of missions. Not got too far into the meat of it again. I'd hope it's as open world as GTA V was, in that none of the map was locked away until certain parts of the story. One thing I have read is that it's an absolutely huge map, so there should be plenty to explore.
 
From what I've seen, the entire map from the first one is included as about a quarter of the whole area in this so it should be absolutely huge.
 
Never played the first RDR, but I'm a massive fan of the GTA series. Hoping it's more of the same.... I purchased using nectar points so got it for free. Still haven't got around to playing it, but looking forward to having a play sometime on Sunday.

Yes, it is, which is something I'm quite looking forward to, so I can go back and compare how it looks as a then and now.Gives quite a good idea of the scale of the game. Usually, Rockstar don't tend to carry areas over from one game to the next, for example how each GTA is set in a different city to the one before it.

holy fucking shit, the first one was massive anyway
 
I brought it for my brothers birthday but I have to wait until Christmas for mine....:banghead::mad:
 
Your horses testicles shrink in cold weather. I remember gaming on a C64. This is a ridiculous level of detail. The game is a bit of a slow burner atm and covered in snow. It's mechanics seem solid though and they've added stuff like being able to store weapons on your horse and for added realism you have to make a choice of what you want weapon wise. Arthur can't just carry everything.

A big gripe of mine from the first one and GTA games. I like that a lot. Also means you may have to keep your horse close by. Do you just whistle it and it appears still?

Yes but there is a finite range that increases as you build a relationship with the horse

Do they really shrink?

I was trying to pat my horse in order to build the relationship and as I was walking round in order for the option to appear it basically shit right in front of my face. Sometimes you can have too much detail in a game
 
Got it today, so excited :D only took just over an hour to install aswel, some people's were like 3 hours... Just played the first intro mission and it looks great!

Not had time to put a good session in, and Rockstar games are always session games. I hate being old.

I managed to get a few hours in last night, but I know what you mean. I originally wanted the week off work to smash the game haha.
 
Nick said:
Is it one of those that takes a few hours before you can start doing stuff?

You do have to follow a set story for the first part (acts like a mini tutorial) but it opens up fairly quickly

I didn't know what to do first when it opened up, so many options.

I take it that the game autosaves? I did the gunslingers cards Stranger mission and visited 3 of them before saving manually then switching off, but hoping I don't lose progress.

Yes it does autosave. When you start playing a new session it asks if you want to overwrite the autosave with a new one. I always manually save just in case

Might be one for boxing day

Am writing off Xmas day for download and installing!

It only took me an hour/90 mins to install, you'll be fine :)

Or do you not have a hard copy?
