Trying to stay patient, I was shocked yesterday to get home and see that RDR2 was in my que doing the whole prep for the pre-order. Turned out my wife and son decided that they would surprise me for my birthday in Oct. Figuring they couldn't surprise me, they figured they would try to sneak it in when I wasn't looking. So now I got till Oct to pretend I didn't see it and act surprised when they decide to reveal.

I spent hundreds of hours just roaming about offline in RDR1, so if it does become a grindfest with squealy 12 year olds online then I'll just do that instead. I imagine there's 100x more to see and do in 2 than there was in 1.

I think it makes about as much sense as constructing a massive, game-less, chill booth that serves tea at E3.

In a game like RDR2? .....I'll be completing the story and likely all of the side missions, etc. With a good title, I don't mind savoring all that the campaign has to offer. Depending on how it's developed, sometimes I will opt to complete side tasks first before tackling some main story missions to gain experience, collect weapons/items that might be offered, earn money, etc. ......basically preparing/outfitting my character with better equipment, etc. before tackling more difficult parts of the game. I can also get more familiar with the game mechanics, the world, etc.
