Do you like RPGs? Cause this is shaping up to be one hell of an example of one.

just get asscreed now and grab RDR2 a week after it comes out, at the beginning of November. That'll give you some time to read some reviews too

Or, conversely, gently caress rear end Creed and just get RDR2. rear end creed will be on sale for $20 by Christmas. RDR2 won't drop until MAYBE summer next year, but if GTA is anything to go by, it'll be full price for a while.

I'd imagine you're going to quickly fall into finding a favourite rifle and side arm and only want to use that, so managing your guns from the horse is probably going to be negligible unless you're going deep into the wilderness to shoot deer or something.

wow look at this guy that keeps TNT on him at the saloon instead of the trunk of his horse

I was very bummed out when they didn't have those in GTA5. I also hope the guns still have the snap and weight to them they did in RDR.

RDR3 will be set in Australia where the goldrush has just kicked off and you can be a bushranger and go up against the police and british soldiers.

Nick Cave will write the story outline and produce the music.

I feel like that was in the last one. You had a companionship meter or something and the horse would be less likely to spook on you or buck if you kicked too much? Also if i remember it was entirely ignorable and just playing regularly you would eventually fill the meter anyways. Im sure all these sytems are like that, a small bonus you can completely ignore.

I think the different horses just had different levels of stamina, and pushing too hard would injure your horse.

I just rewatched The Proposition this morning. Between the sweat, dirt, flies, and blood - everyone in that movie looks so goddamn uncomfortable. I love it.

I also have tickets to see the Bad Seeds up in DC in a few weeks. I'm actually going to be a couple days late to playing RDR2 as a result. C'est la vie.

Between Amazon Prime and Netflix there's a good selection right now. Netflix has Unforgiven, Silverado, Hateful 8, Slow West, and The Homesman. Amazon Prime has The Man with No Name trilogy, Hang 'Em High, 3:10 to Yuma, Magnificent 7, Stagecoach, etc.

Ask me about running my country straight into the ground every time I play EU4 multiplayer.
Bone Tomahawk rules, be warned though, it can be extremely violent if you typically don't like that kinda thing or are a bit squeamish.

Meanwhile if it is you're kinda thing, it'll probably be raising some standards.

is it worth buying a PS4 just so I can play this on release? really don't want to wait for a PC release cause I have no idea how soon (probably not soon) it will get released.

and if I do buy a PS4, which one do I even get? there's so many variations of PS4 that just confuses me.

The slim is basically the best option if you aren't at all interested in 4k gaming since it's cheaper, the pro is for 4k and faster games.

I don't know if it's worth it for one game but there's probably bound to be some other PS4/console only exclusives you'll be interested in.

So what are the odds of there being a side quest or a character or interaction or SOMETHING in RDR2 that will make headlines? It feels like this game is going to be way too mainstream and there will be way too much attention on it for it to slide by without a mole hill being turned into a mountain.

I'm in the same boat as you, and I think you should be fine with pretty much any of the variations of the PS4 provided it's got enough hard drive space. I'm looking to grab a used one, hopefully with 1TB.

If you are not absolutely skint then get a Pro, yes even if you don't have a 4K TV and don't plan on getting one. Most games load faster and look better.

I've heard there'll be a bundle with the game, but I haven't looked into it.

I'd also recommend getting Horizons Zero Dawn and a few other exclusives. I came late to this console generation and mainly game on my PC but there are some really good Sony exclusives.

True. There are so many great "Mads murders everyone" movies like Valhalla Rising or Flammen and Citron that I forgot about The Salvation.

To anyone who hasn't seen it The Homesman rules and is the best (anti)western since The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.
