In NYC, there are a pretty good amount of indie stores that reliably break street date. I played the original Red Dead a full two days before release.

The real fun of living wisely is that you get to be smug about it.

Putting the game on my hard drive a full week before I can use it just seems cruel on Rockstar's part.

Red Dead Revolver was great, and it did have deadeye, good to give props to that one too. I'd say give it a play sometime to anybody into semi-retro action games, it's from the same year as GTA: San Andreas and plays a lot better, especially combat wise. Just isn't an open world game, but it's the first game in my book! A game that existed! It could sit next to Soul Blade on your shelf.

Looking forward to this one by the way!

For anyone in the UK - if you have a Smyths near you, they're doing the game for £45 if you preorder and go and pick it up in store. That's the cheapest I've been able to find it.

E: They're also doing a midnight release at all their stores. I've never actually been to a midnight release so it's tempting...do you ever get free poo poo at them?

I searched for it in my library and then selected it and there was an option (the default selected option, I believe) to Download. I had to start by selecting the two items to download (the treasure map and whatever the other pre-order reward was) and then it started downloading everything.

That was roughly what it was for my PS4 as well. Somewhere right around there, but definitely not the 100+ gigs I was expecting .

I'm on PS4 and it was somewhere in the neighborhood of 92.4 GBs, but I don't know if that included all the bonus content from the pre-order and special edition stuff or not.

It's going to be your local 0001hrs release, if you've got it on preload.

I cancelled my Amazon order because they aren't guaranteeing release day delivery and my order still has an unknown delivery day as of last week. I figured I may as well just get it digitally anyway, since I doubt I'll trade it in, and I'm getting lazy about swapping discs out anymore.

I am getting this game at 9pm est on Thursday. I estimate that by this time next week I will have 15 hours of game time. I estimate that by this time the following week I will have 15 hours of game time because the game will be loving broken and the patch will take 2 weeks to drop

for real I don't get the hype here. I read a synopsis of RDR and realized I did in fact play it and it was pretty good! But the hype videos are saying poo poo like "when you open a drawer the items are right there in that drawer" and "when your horse steps in snow he leaves tracks!" which is how these games have worked for a while. metal gear solid 5 came out how many years ago at this point?

The hype is mainly just cause it's Rockstar honestly, they've not put out anything since GTAV 5 years ago (current gen/pc version was 4 years ago) so people are just excited to see what they've been up to. It doesn't sound like it's doing much new per se but it's doing a lot of stuff that as you say has been standard for awhile in a really big, high fidelity, polished world. Not like the world is overflowing with Western games as well.
