RDR2 on PC will be my first RDR experience

how much is it structured like GTA, and what is the online experience like? I generally did not like GTA V Online.

In general, it's more solemn and slow-paced than GTA. If GTA draws from Michael Bay/Fast & Furious movies, Red Dead is more of an Unforgiven/Deadwood vibe. There's much more world detail & immersion. Your home base is an organic part of the story instead of just a bed & a garage. Some mission types are similar to GTA, but there are some clever and very memorable missions scattered throughout the single player story.

RDO tends to be less chaotic than GTAO. People aren't yelling racial slurs at each other in the public voice channel. No k/d warriors in military vehicles repeatedly killing you. No power-creep bullshit like the orbital cannon. And there are ways to make money besides doing risky shipments in a vulnerable, slow-moving vehicle. Most of the time people stay out of your hair unless you happen to wander into a big PVP shootout going on in one of the towns.

That sounds perfect! I'm excited!!!!!

So is there an epic store preload?

that feature literally doesn't exist

You could preload Borderlands because Epic had Gearbox do it

I'm at work for another 8 hours so no rush, but if anyone figures out a fix for the "Rockstar game launcher exited unexpectedly" error, that'd be sweet.

This got me past the launcher, but I just get infinite loading screens on both single player, the benchmark, and online. But hey, at least it's something. Seeing folks suggesting it needs to call home at least once and the workaround prevents that.

I believe what you do is you get it to launch with this, then you roll back and use the launcher and it should start working, for some reason.

I bought RDR2 on PC a while back but even though my specs are perfectly fine for it at 1440p it just ran like garbo. I saw RDR2 for like $25 on the PS store so I went ahead and picked it up. I'm kinda hoping PS4 / PS5 will share RDR Online, but I'm assuming they wont
