Red Dead Redemption II |OT| Who knew horse testicles had such a crunch?

I just picked up my pre-order from Best Buy in Pittsburgh. It was really interesting - they usually pass out new release games at 8:30 as the store closes at 9. But - with RDR2, they were not allowed to release the game until 9:00 on the dot.

LOL - so me and about 15 other guys were just milling around at the front of the store from 8:30-9:00. I'm 48 and most of the other guys appeared to be between the ages of 30-50. You kind of nod at one another like "Ya - I'm going to just stand here for the next thirty minutes. I'm not leaving here until I get the game."

Just got my copy from Best Buy. And now the long install begins.

It will probably finish installing before the digital version goes live. :messenger_grinning_squinting:

I'm too old for these midnight releases. I'll be lucky to make it past the first 30 minutes before passing out on the couch.

I don't know about the Xbox, I'm on the PS4 and it's downloaded a 3gb update 1.02. Dunno if this helps.

Edit: Anyone know if the PS4 installs from disc in standby mode? So I wouldn't have to keep it on.

I don't believe so, I think it needs to be on to power the BR drive.
 
109 minutes to install on a SSHD!

Welp, guess I'll go whizzer snip the lawn. Fuck it's hot today. My balls are sweating hard. You know when you feel a single bead of sweat roll down your ass crack and around to the back of your balls.

I am right with you on that. Between being up late last night after the World Series game, and now this, I will also be lucky if I make an hour into it.

Game installation is going much quicker than I thought it would.

Been home for half an hour and it said 3 hours to go when I started. Now it's down to 50 minutes left.

Just got mine from Gamestop a little while ago, but barely. I don't know if I can do it tonight. So exhausted right now :pie_expressionless:

Yes it will install from standby mode. Actually installs faster from standby.

The 90 minute data transfer took awhile, but I'm playing now.

Wow - this game is amazing to look at (PS4 Pro).

I just started playing, and the characters are so interesting. I'm already hooked.

This game is a whole different fucking level

It’s like Rockstar just went to CDPR and was like “Hey, sup?”

The snow is incredible in this game. The tracks and the varying snow depth are really impressive.

Also, the horse system is going to be really compelling. I only started playing and I already feel a bond with my first horse.

OK guys, I believe this website can have a bright future but we have got to have better OT titles than this. lol

Good OT otherwise.

And I'll join you all tomorrow, for now I have to pull an all night for an 8AM exam tomorrow. I hope the West is kind to you.

What's going on with the camera/controls inside buildings? I feel like I am trying to swim through mud.
 
I know lots of people are saying the controls are still clunky and weighty but can anyone who's sensitive to it like me comment on input lag?

The GTAV remaster was pretty bad in that regard on top of having poor aim acceleration curves. Changing the dead zone can only help so much.

Along those lines does it seem like the combat AI is balanced for you to play with auto aim like all their other titles? As in the enemies have impossibly good aim even while moving fast?

Yeah its wonky. Try swapping to first person while inside, found that pretty handy (and hadnt planned on using it at all - its also by default faster base movement than in third person, so it seems anyway).

I hate getting old.

Game unlocks in 35 minutes and I am already so tired. I gotta get through one mission at least
Knowing me I'll waste a gazillion hours getting side tracked until I realize there's a story I need to play xD
 
I’m gonna keep my technical impressions to the DF thread (right off the bat I’m not impressed by what I’m getting on Pro, just feels like somethings wrong with the clarity), but happy to say that the one hour I played was great and can’t wait to play it for real tomorrow

On Pro I’m feeling some weight to my camera movement, not sure I would call it laggy...but definitely “weighty.”
 
Anyone with an early copy of Deluxe or Ultimate mind giving a better description of the bonuses?

How big is the boost? Is it passive or a consumable? Can you turn it off?
I'm still not sure what boost I'm getting exactly, but you can turn them off in the games settings menu.
Anyone know where you can buy clothes? I can't find clothes shops anywhere...
I saw clothes in town. Might've been the gun store or general store? Can't remember.

In love. I can't believe this is current gen, thought this was something I wouldn't be playing until next gen. The production values. In awe at every moment.

So does the game require a complete full install? No partial install playing parts of the game while the rest installs?
