So that's about it then. 10 minutes or so of actual gameplay footage of the biggest game of all time less than a week before it hits shelves.

I have heard smaller retailers don't get the game until nov 6 and everyone else had to sign an additional thing doubly preventing an early release. Soneone streamed 7 mins on instagram and their account was banned, nobody is seeing this thing early.

Doubt any clever hackers are going to figure out how to run the preloaded copies. Impressive feat, all this.

By buying the physical copy I can sell it again at some point, digital I can't. But buying physical I have no idea when I'm finally going to get ahold of the game because there's no big box stores around, I'm kinda hoping the place I ordered from just show up with it early.

I'll probably not get it until nov sometime.

Rockstar is not giving out copies to smaller chains until after street date.

I asked that specific question, then they gave me this evil grin. So I'm pretty sure I've tapped into the criminal underworld of the gaming community and am soon going to be in gaming Guantánamo Bay.

Hopefully you get it but I wouldn't be surprised if the person just assumed they were getting it early like everyone else.

Straight up not giving copies to smaller chains I don't think has ever really been done.

This is the part I don't really understand though. Surely Rockstar isn't sending copies of the game directly to stores they like, they are sending copies of the games to distributors which sell them in bulk to whichever stores place an order.

It might work that in some countries they can convince distributors to only sell to specific outlets but they couldn't do that on a global scale. Rockstar don't have the much pull.

Look I don't know A thing about this franchise but the hype train is building up and I want to get a newer model pro but I haven't played the first one. Is this like a GTA where the stories aren't connected or a Kingdom Hearts/MGS where you need to play the other for context and understanding?

There are so many videos on youtube of people recapping the story from de three games you should be able to get caught up after about 15 minutes mang.

The only time I played RDR.

I moved into an IRL house with new roommates one had a PS3. One day while he was at work I popped in RDR and loaded the first save.

I was standing in a town with lots of pleasant people which seemed to admire me. I was playing around with the buttons and pulled out my rifle. Then I locked on to the nearest person, a woman, and shot her in the face. The resulting massacre was one I still remember. People were running everywhere, I killed as many as I could and then the game autosaved.

I turned it off and never spoke of it.

Feels like hype for this game is going to be impossible to match on delivery. Like the Obama administration, except probably being close to matching the hype instead of singlehandedly destroying the whole country in 8 short years.

So it's been ages since I played any Rockstar game and I never really got into the online bits of the ones I played.

If I got a buddy or two who sucks at shooting games, is playing this game online gonna be a miserable experience? I don't wanna sucker people in if it's gonna be like 360 cowboy no-scoping but if we can just kinda amble around doing PvE stuff together as a posse it might be fun.

I've been watching a lot of videos about what is known and nobody really knows anything about RDR Online. It'll probably be released separately from the base game, not free dlc for example. And it'll probably be pretty awesome, iterating on the wildly popular GTA Online of Christmas past.

Nobody knows squat. It's a better kept secret than the base game.

It looks to me like your character can run really unrealistically fast, no wonder Rockstar wanted to keep this game under wraps.

Also: Significantly more expensive. That's why all those Switch games are compressed to hell.

It'd be a bit more expensive, I'm already paying 50+ for the thing. The digital version could be sold at a slight discount, which would get more people buying digital. Which is what they really want anyway since you can't resell, or buy used.

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.
