Here’s a preview I enjoyed that goes out of its way to be [e: relatively] free of early game spoilers. All the guy wants to do is get some fishing done. Needless to say, shenanigans happen.

Red Bull RDR2 Preview

A couple of things stood out to me; some of the waterways sound like they can be pretty busy with canoes and paddle steamers (which I’m hoping you can board) and that your horse can swim, but if it runs out of stamina it drowns.

This is brilliant sounds like the kind of crap I'd end up doing

That guy was a coke head and they pushed him out of the company im pretty sure. There was some drama about it a couple years ago but i dont remember the details, i could have this all wrong.

E: oh poo poo that was benzies the guy who wanted more sp content and who saved the development of rdr. Welp. Single player will still probably be good lol.

The first game mentions Manhattan and California. So it’s not the same as GTA’s fictional USA. But who knows if that ends up being retconned.

Today was the first time I'd logged into GTAO for quite some time, wanted to unlock the double-action revolver and stone hatchet for RDR2. Wasn't too bad, took around 30mins and you can do it in an invite-only lobby.

Given how 2k treat their other franchise game, we should count ourselves very loving lucky that rockstar don’t seem to be putting in virtual currency to use for improving Arthur’s stats or getting a haircut.

Not that this in anyway excuses the inevitable micro transaction riddled multiplayer, but small mercies an all that.

Yes, just go through the online tutorials and make sure you select Invite Only lobby so you aren't harassed by psychopaths, then just drive around until you receive two emails on your phone with instructions for a treasure (the revolver) and from someone detailing a bounty hunting mission (which leads to the hatchet upon completion of several). It should only take an hour or two to get both weapons

Yeah NBA 2K is a million times worse at microtransactions than gta online. It's not even for new content, it's basically the free to play model in a $60 game.

So if I do it on PC would I be able to get these items for my PS4 copy of RDR2?

Has there been any information about the possibility of ballistic system in this game? It'd be cool if I can shoot through fences and wagon walls and stuff, but I don't know if Rockstar has ever implemented one.

Also, I hope I can kneecap fools in this game, I feel like GTA V toned down the Euphoria physics system a lot compared to RDR and GTA 4.

its a shame because the GTA4 mod that let you press a button to hold onto whatever your hand was touching and shoot wherever you gnu was pointing made for some of the best ragdoll incidents ever

Some of these previews describe destructable cover objects like barrels and wagons and such. I don't think you'll be able to dynamite through a house but I expect a lot of splintered wooden crates and barrels after a good gunfight.

Some of the previews have explicitly mentioned that some players can burn down houses and they will be rebuilt over time. Makes it sound like there will be a fair amount of destructible stuff.

The getting fat and beard stuff sounds so annoying. I have to deal with that in real life, I don't want to RP my neckbeard self in RDR2. I hope it doesn't feel too much like work. I just want to shoot mans and ride around on my horsey. Same atmosphere and crazy (side)missions like RDR1 preferably.

It sounds like you don't really get severely penalized for not doing the upkeep stuff, like you'll never starve to death, but if you do do them you'll get bonuses to various things.

I guess we are more likely to be starving and emaciated, just sacks of skin and bones. Are skin and teeth issues going to be a thing, too?
