In the first game, we were able to play as John Marston and later, his son Jack. Knowing how the story is going to go based on what we have been given, John is in this gang with Arthur. What do you think the chances are we will be playing as John near the end of the game? Or maybe playing as someone else?

I'm on the fence about whether I want to know more or not! Finding these new special things is something I'd prefer to discover myself so these next few months are going to be brutal to endure.

Totally. Imagine all the surprises and tricks they have hidden up their sleeve that won’t be revealed until your playing it. Very exciting.

I just now got done with the video. I knew about it but been so busy, I kept forgetting to actually sit down and watch it. I am very impressed and surprised by how detailed all the little things in the game are. It seems like they put a lot more attention into this game than any other game they had previously made. I feel like they are trying to attract new fans doing this which is good. What is really impressive too and something to consider, this is only a small portion of the game. I can't imagine what it will be like playing it.

Only if it includes a "jiffy" bag...you know to take the edge off.

Can we craft them into glue for extra cash?

Got thinking about what I am looking forward to in RDR2 today and remembered a friend I met on RDR. When I 1st got into MP on RDR he ran in the same group as I. He was a disabled Vietnam Veteran and boy was he a grumpy old man. One night he was getting slapped around by some young kids, I mean 6, 7, or 8 year old range, they were talking smack and he was dishing out right back at them. He joined our chat group and asked for help and the others promised they would join, but soon as he left. They all said the hell with it and kept doing what they were doing. Still didn't know him well, but decided that it was un-cool to leave someone hanging like that. So I found his GT and joined his game. He had gotten cornered in that little old fort next to the capital. I spawned in got my horse and rode in to help him out. It turned out it was him and I against the rest of the server and we won far more then we lost that night. Those kids kept calling us bullies cause the 2 of us was beating the rests of them and one threatened to go get his big brother, who I had apparently played against a lot. Everytime I got on, he would always join me and would play the game for hours non-stop. We used to discuss everything we thought they would add to RDR2 cause at that time rumors were starting. One day, after not seeing him around for a couple of weeks, I saw him on. In truth it was his nephew, who had been trying to get a hold of me. The nephew told me his uncle had passed away, but before he died he wanted me to know he enjoyed being my sidekick in the old west and the family wanted to thank me for being his friend. Cause that old Vet had been bed ridden for years and it was always a highlight to his day when he would see me get online. So here is my salute to an old friend and a new game. Hope any new friends I make keep it as interesting as he did.

I think that whole "stigma" mentioned of older people playing video games vs someone in their 20's or younger isn't a thing anymore. I know more hardcore gamers who are older. They had their kids and raised them, own their houses, etc. so they have more free time than someone who is younger. Like imagine being in college and working or being a younger parent having to work two jobs just to get by. Gaming isn't an age deal, there is responsible gaming and there is immature gaming. If you have things to do like go to work or raise your kid and you choose to game, you probably shouldn't be playing video games.

My father-in-law is totally a gamer. He's 70. Plays PS4 and PC. Uncharted series, Tomb Raider, racing games- That's his thing. It's one of the only things we have in common and so we always end up talking about it at family functions while everyone else rolls their eyes and laughs at us. I remember once when my wife and I were still dating, he called her just to have her pass the phone to me. Needed help with Red Dead! I thought that was so cool.

Unless there's a hidden DeLorean down there I'm not interested

Honestly, it would be one of those things that is not needed. Like sure it would be cool for like a second but then they would have to deal with people raging over kids getting killed in RDR2. You know someone will go on a kid killing spree.

I will be an Outlaw someday lol.
