It feels like from all the gameplay I've been watching in a lot of ways this is still a rockstar game as in they have a working formula. It's bigger and better than ever before but it's still very similar to gta. Maybe all of the depth of the game comes into play when you sit down with it for hours at a time instead of short clips highlighting a few mechanics.

I know at the very least through 11/3 you get 100 dollars off any XBox system when you buy RDR2 at Gamestop. And this will stack with the trade in bonus of $250 bucks when you trade in an XBox One S.

I'm not entirely sure those are able to be combined yet. I've heard online yes, but my local store is telling me to come back tomorrow when the manager is there, as it's likely going to kick one of the two discounts out, but it's possible it can be overrriden.

There's a possibility I try to take advantage of this if it comes out that the base ps4 has issues with framerates.

Seems like a culmination of RDR1 with GTA and the interaction style of L.A Noire.

if you continually stealthily rob or murder people with no witnesses will the town react? Put up more lights or not travel down dark alleys as much because the town isn't safe? in mgs5 eventually they'd beef up security as a response to the results of your stealthy work

I'm fairly certain there was mention of an Xbox One X launching with RDR for free, may be worth keeping your eye out for.

That would be surprising considering Sony has the marketing deal.

But there's no doubt it'll look best by a long shot on X btw, to those debating which console to get. Everything looks way better on X unless the developers are incompetent. (Have owned base PS4, PS4 pro and X)

There's a little Bully in there too with the npc interactions. This game seems to be the logical culmination of all the experimental styles they've introduced since GTA3.

I just hope they aren't as cynical as they are in regular GTA. That's kind of what made RDR more tolerable is that they weren't up their own rear end about how everything sucks and actually liked the period they were talking about, even if they didn't shy away from how the cowboy age was kind of poo poo, but that it was on its way out. Then again, this is a game that's likely the fall of the van der Linde gang.

Oh, well, that's all water under the bridge, as I always say. Water under the bridge!

I hope damage is a little more lenient than it was in GTAV. How much you could dish out vs how much you could take was pretty much perfect in RDR, but gunfights in GTAV were largely anticlimactic because you were so brittle. In a game series built on running from the police, it was one of the least fun things to do in the game.

I plan to be friendly and helpful when people seem nice, and then I'm gonna try to use the system where witnesses actually need to report you to be a secret serial killer by carefully planning out murders or finding people in the frontier all alone. It always bothered me when I killed someone on a hiking trail away from everyone in gta5 and cops would magically spawn on the trails in cop cars.

From most of the leaks, it looks like Arthur is a goddamn tank.
