games are supposed to be about the characters and story in addition to the gameplay, and it's really stupid if you skip cutscenes in a story-heavy game because then you won't understand anything and complain.

I think* the trailers we’ve seen so far have all been captured on the PS4. Can’t remember if they said it was Pro or Vanilla though.

*I am happy to be corrected about this, I’m fairly sure, but could be wrong.

AFAIK everything that has been shown off has been on the Pro.

Yeah there was a period of time there where Rockstar actually had really cool informative marketing. Like they would break down the trailers into covering different aspects of the game, such as the physics engine or music. It was all very educational and helped build hype, but they just stopped doing it completely.

... did... did you just totally miss the gameplay trailer they dropped? :ohdear:

They've already teased more trailers like this, going into detail about other aspects of the game as well. So this is 1/?

I put a 2tb SSD in my PSPoor, and holy poo poo the change in load times was distinctly noticeable. I might need to go buy another for my Pro and do the same. That, and even 1tb is getting to be not enough storage space nowadays.

Same. Or 1.7tb. Whatever. Apparently the PS4 reserves space on the drive for... reasons? :shrug:

LegacyKilla makes me laugh because he stretches out one tiny piece of information to 15 minute videos. I was really confused how he constantly did this, then I watched a few of his videos, and all he does is read press articles over cut scenes and gameplay from the trailers. He doesn't add anything insightful or significant.

What a hack.

Which Xbox One did you get? I fully expect the Xbox One X to be the best console to play RDR2 on. Performance and graphic fidelity is going to go; Xbox One X, PlayStation 4 Pro, PlayStation 4, Xbox One (S).

You'd probably be wildly incorrect. R* has exclusivity deals with Sony, so I wouldn't put it past them to optimize RDR2 for the PSPro. Also, everything they've released gameplay wise has been captured on the Pro, so we have no idea what it will even look like on the XBoneOneX.

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 only played through RDR1 once and that was right when it came out, so I hope this one doesn't lean too much on that story because I really don't remember a lot of it. I remember being in Mexico for a little bit, and then getting betrayed at the end.

RDR2 is a prequel, so if you want to get technical, nothing from RDR matters, really.

Anyone run into the man from new york headed toward Strawberry?

Was wondering what happens if you get him into town.

He tells you to keep an eye on the mayor because he's a corrupt asshat, or something along those lines. I really didn't notice anything special.

Anyway, where and when is the first time you can get a game of poker going? There seems to be a surprising amount of side activities in my texas hold'em simulator before I get to the meat of it.

There's a poker table in your camp, but you have to unlock the ability to play in camp. However, in the "Pastor" quest, you end up playing as much poker as you want at the very beginning of the mission

I accidentally passed over the guy who got bit by a snake while in cinematic mode. Did my opportunity to complete his quest pass me, or will he show up again if I go by the area at a later time? Or, comedy option, will I pass by a corpse that died from a snake bite that I can loot?

What happens if you get attacked during it, do you get pulled out of cinematic mode or you have to manually?

Manually. There was a YouTuber who talked about this, and why it's a bad idea to auto-run and go to the bathroom or grab a drink or whatever and not pay attention to the game. I guess they ran through Blackwater while still under lockdown and got obliterated by about 10 bounty hunters.

Can anyone help me with the companion app?

I have the game running, signed into social club via the pause menu, but the app isnt finding my system in the list, only my connected account. On the same network as my console, so I'm out of ideas on what's wrong. :confused:

Edit: in the connection box, it says "unpaired" but the social club keeps updating my achievements and such, and in the pause menu the social club says I'm paired.. The gently caress is up with this garbage app?

Edit 2: restarting the app now shows paired Playstation 4, but no live games. You know what, gently caress it. They make a great game but gently caress their companion app.

Is this game really meant for a PS4 Pro or something? I have had this game crash to dashboard more times than any other console game I can remember, and that includes Bethesda Fallout games which always crash. It's getting ridiculous. I have a 2015ish PS4.

Haven't had a crash yet, playing on the PSPoor and the Pro.

So where is all this end game content? I finished both epilogues and now it's just Marston and his ranch. No markers, no nothing on the map. am I supposed to just go explore the map and have the quests pop randomly again? Are there any in New Austin, or whatever the unexplored area is?

Also, same as someone else, where is my supposed treasure map add on and bank robbery? Also, am I hosed if I already finished the game and can't do the heist now?

I’ve run into this several times now.

The correct answer is to drop the pelt (which shouldn’t respawn, and get the damsel. Park her a couple hundred feet from the pelt, then go jack a horse, load pelt. You either have to raise your new horse to level 1, or switch damsel and pelt, because you want to ride your horse with damsel, and have temp horse follow with pelt. (Or ride temp horse with damsel, and have your horse follow)

Why no, I’m not obsessive compulsive.
