To be honest, I think you have to enjoy the general western story / atmosphere to get a lot out of the first game. GTA5 for example is a fun / competent open world playground game to mess around in just for the action even if you totally ignore the characters and storyline, but RDR is one that you have to get immersed in for it to be worth it. I really enjoyed it but, quite tellingly I guess, I only played through RDR once whereas I've played through every GTA game since Vice city at least 3 times. San Andreas about 7 times .

Discs? You mean you arent getting digital copies? Are you seriously going to be queuing at midnight Friday for this game? Already downloaded mine. Frigging PS4 users will be able to play from midnight Thursday

I can get it 15 quid cheaper in Smyths so it's my first physical game in a loooong time

[Toy Soldier]

Physical copies on PS4 are always cheaper, which is annoying as I'd much rather download . It's also why I often get things for PC instead, as PC digital download is generally even cheaper than PS4 physical . But RDR2 isn't likely to be coming to PC for at least a year.

If its a game I'm gonna play alot then always get a digital copy. it means I've got no re-sale options but I really cant be arsed with changing discs when its a game I'm gonna play every day. I'll pay the extra just for the luxury.

"A game of unparalleled scope and ambition, with breathtaking visuals, a broad-ranging but intimate story, and an incredible sense of identity and purpose, Red Dead Redemption 2 will go down as one of the greatest games of the generation, and perhaps video game history."

Well, that's surely a pretty bold statement

Also slightly amused that a few 0-point user reviews that don't even have anything to do with the game, just people peeved that it's only out on console, have dragged the user meta down to 8.5 when it would otherwise be up nearer 9.5 .

TBH reviews that aren't actually about the game itself should be removed.

What do we all think?

Its a slightly slower pace than I was expecting but impressive so far.

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

Buying mine today

[GiRTh]

Nice one. Its quite engrossing so far.

That would totally depend on the speed of your internet . Even if it's 100GB, to take 30 hours would mean an 8mb internet connection. Most people have at least 20mb these days. Mine runs at about 45mb... which should mean a download time of under 6 hours.

I got mine this morning but haven’t played yet

It took around 90 minutes to install idk if it actually was that long bc i just left it/went back to change the disk and left it again but it did say like 95 mins remaining

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

Still... a 92GB download is insane .

The Fallout 76 BETA is 95gb... I have no idea how

It has 5 different biomes which essentially means 5 completely different sets of outdoors textures and assets. The vast majority of a game's file size is textures... which is why we're seeing a huge sudden jump lately (4k textures are very large).

I've decided this game is TRASH cause I can't do the mission were you have to steal the wagon

It's not a GTA San Andreas "remote control plane mission" situation is it? . 50+ attempts. I swear to god. I was an angry teenage boy and my PS2 was almost murdered that day.
