Actually it is... they stack the discs both on the same side, I'm more curious that Mexico is pretty prominent on the map.

It's really sad that that is a step up, but god drat GTA V was miserable. It didn't help me that I was going through a really tough time in my life and I couldn't deal with how incredibly horrible every single character was in single player V. (Except Lamar, he was solid)

hey! another lamar fan, yeah he was legit the only good character in that whole game. Man GTAV was terrible with its characters.

Calling it now: "The game opens completely after the main story is done" means you get to play as John Marston in the original Red Dead Redemption but in RDR2's engine

I hope that isn't the case. I feel like by that point I'll rather play an epilogue as the character I just spent 80ish hours as, rather than a character from a game I played 8 years ago. John was cool but I don't need a whole other game about him.

It is on two discs. Insert disc 1 to install, at 57% (on xbox) swap to disc 2 and then at 99% swap back to the gamedisc to finish installing.

my biggest issue with 5 and to a greater extent 4 and even red dead 1 was that everyone talked like they written were by rod serling if he were alot more cynical. everyone can make deep insitful long winded remarks about society, humanity, etc in long passionate way. and it got old and weird fast. and i have a soft spot for that kinda poo poo.

I know the reviewer didn’t like it, but it seems like making them comical idiots who accidentally kill themselves is the best option. It makes it impossible for right-wing players to take any action that aids them or prevents them from being killed.

In this day and age, console comparison videos are somewhat pointless. Game looks great after watching a few diff videos/streams. A comparison video to a PC would be something I'd like too see, obviously.

Exactly. My US history isn’t great, but I assume it would have been weird given the setting not to have them in at all. Besides, if they don’t comically murder themselves I’m very happy to step in and feed them alive to alligators.

i think the point was that the KKK aren't portrayed as basically being the racist elites but in ghost outfits, which they were afaik, and instead being just some dumb nobodies rather than like the governer and chief of police.

i'd really like some extended sequences of gunning down KKK, hell, i'd love a loving Django game. Setting the game in the south in this era seems like a black or native american protag would have allowed for lots of righteous carnage its kinda a shame they didn't do that.
Modern Rockstar are oddly tame in their choice of protags, kinda like when after GTAV had its terrible story of men bitching for 100 hours and they said its cause it was about "masculinity" and thats why they couldn't have had one of the protags be a woman. But it never occured to them that a story about masculinity is the exact place you'd want a woman's PoV?

Male gamers for the most part hate women being in video games. Creative Assembly adjusted how often women generals showed up in your armies for Total War: Rome II, completely based on historical accuracy. The push back and rage at this was overwhelming and male gamers review bombed the game on Steam into overwhelmingly negative territory.

The same is also true for anything deal with murdering horrible racists, or making jokes out of hate groups. The latest sequel to Wolfenstein got a lot of angry white male gamers because it made a joke out of killing nazi's.

Going by Metascore, Red dead 2 on the ps4 is worse than games released on the xbox 360, Dreamcast and wii. If you're looking for the definitive experience its time to trade in your ps4 for the most powerful console of all time - the Xbox One X. Otherwise you might as well be playing Horizon Zero Dawn again.

Rockstar is quite rightly afraid of the millennial pc trend because they've spend an inordinate amount of money producing their games and it would be a shame for a dog pile to occur over something so stupid as political correctness. We're talking about thousands of people's jobs. They've spoken fairly openly about it. I wouldn't see a lot to be gained from an extended Wolfenstein 2-style KKK massacre sequence.
