I plan on having this engraved in my headstone when I die.

I've always been a fan of consoles because you can just buy a game and know that it will work. I always found PC a bit annoying when you have to mess about display settings to get a decent frame rate etc. I like the simplicity of consoles. Put the game in, play it. You may say "just buy a better PC so you don't have to do that" but then you're talking money, which to me isn't what it's about. I'd rather spend a lot less, get a bit less graphics quality, and be able to operate it when I stagger in drunk and want to shoot some 12 year olds on horseback.

The fact they were falling asleep as they were walking about and rambling on their horse is the precise reason why I can't wait for the game. A slow-paced environment where I can literally get lost is exactly what I'm hoping for.

f*cking FINALLY able to pre-order a physical copy of the Special Edition through Amazon. Free game! (Gift card)

What kind of cat are you

Incriminating? Have you met today's 12 year-olds? I can only be told "how much sex they've had with my mom" while playing online so many times.

Console only here. This doesn't piss me off in the slightest. Only an idiot would argue that Consoles are superior in terms of delivering the gaming experience. What they do provide, however, is a lower price point of entry for the average consumer. Not everyone can (or even wants) to spend upwards of $1000 on an above average gaming rig (including peripherals). And even those who do, have to build it themselves to make it cost efficient. Not everyone has that skill set. With consoles, convenience and ease of use are the biggest selling points. When I go on a trip, I can tote my PS4 through TSA screenings at an airport in my carry on luggage with minimal effort or concern. A gaming laptop, which costs considerably more, may do the job as well, but few are going to tote a PC tower, power supply, and peripherals around in carry on. And I've seen how the baggage handlers take care of checked bags--there's a reason my PS4 flies carry on with me. Believe me, if I could justify a decent PC for gaming, I'd pick one up in a heartbeat, but it's already difficult enough to keep my kids off the PS4 and their Kindles--a PC would make it impossible.

Fixed that for you. Fixed that for you.

I like your style. I live in an area oversaturated with Gamestops, and tend to frequent more than one in a given week just because I like to pop in when I'm out and about for other stuff (like beer). All I can tell you is that Gamestop employees tend to be like snowflakes (and not in a pejorative way) in that each one is unique: some will spend 45 minutes telling you about how amazing the new Transformers game is, and others will try to get you to buy a Hentai import game from Japan. My point is, RDR2 isn't going to be for everyone (hell, I shoot my son down multiple times a day about downloading Fortnite on the PS4--it's just not for me, and I don't want him playing it anyways--he's 8). Fixed that for you.

There's going to be a lot of dead Pinkertons.

I got a little angry actually with the comments they made, and quite frankly thought whatta bunch of unappreciative f*cks While i know everybody is entitled to their own tastes and opinions, if you hold stupid ones and you have no taste, go play call of duty. and YEAH, i'm sure the peeps in charge were giving the people strict instructions so as not to reveal too much- so if you find roaming around a beautiful world on an awesome beast 'boring', you need to go. and go now. hahah I'm still a bit angry.

So here's a little thing that goes on in my head when a new GTA or RDR game is set for release. I have friends that don't even own a console, and my brother has a PS3 but never plays it. Come October and beyond, RDR2 will exist in all its glory, and these people will go about their daily lives and never play it. They will sit and watch TV or read a book, not even bothered about the majesty that they would experience by playing RDR2. I just can't get my head around that. Discuss.

I personally love the bounty hunter missions, makes me feel like a right bad-ass haha. I always like to be sneaky and then let rip, snatching the bounty alive. I think its spot on what Debbo89 said, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense for Arthur to be doing this from the law perspective,but there may be missions very similar to bounty hunting given by Dutch or another well respected member of the gang to hunt down people who have wronged the group, or those that are standing in the way of Dutch's plans for the group. That'd be really fun and surely build trust with Dutch ad the group. It's gunna be interesting to see if you have a 'choice' in these sorts of things or whether they'll be part of the main story. I think they'd probably be 'side' missions though, that may affect the story telling. for instance, dutch could give you a side mission to go get intel on a bank the groups planning to rob, before the actual heist. It'd be cool to have the option to walk in all guns blazing and not know details, or have the choice of going on an extra mission to find out info before the hesit. This could also weild benefits and extra goodies as youve put more work into the job.

corpse wall? build a dam with cowboy corpses hehe

I'll have to try them. I have an Aldi's pretty close to me. I know the pizza I had was Chicago something. I never heard of the brand before. It was normally like $8 on sale for $3 something. It was one of them ones that was "all natural" so it was basic ingredients. It didn't look special but damn was it good.

Usually lunch. It's like the Slimfast diet, but with Guinness instead of a slimfast shake.

I am proud to say that even MY WIFE has finally joined the wonderful world of Red Dead Redemption! Yep, I did it! After hearing me go on and on about RDR2 for so long, last weekend she said "Ok, I need to know how to play this game! I want to play the RDR story line and get involved so that when the new one comes out, I can play it too!" So, last weekend we sat down and put it on. She loves it! She has a little trouble aiming, but that will come in time I told her. She played for a couple of hours and practiced hunting, aiming, and riding. She almost beat Bonnie in that race around the ranch so the riding part is down. It was a proud moment when she picked up that controller and started learning how to play! I told her I would help her, but that she should just follow the instructions on the screen and follow along. She's even interested in the story line so that's awesome too! (I may or may not have shed a single tear in joy) 😪

My reaction to the private demo reactions in one reactive gif: (now I have to go watch this movie again dammit)

In fact, I may just turn off the minimap completely during my first few hours and just wander where the path leads me.

I read somewhere that the bodies of slain npcs will stay where you leave them. If this is true, I have big, big plans. Side missions have always suffered from inadequate reward structure, in my experience. Ideally, they'll look to have a diverse array of side missions without feeling too gimmicky.

If the leak I posted back in June is accurate, it looks like tracking a bounty will be a lot more in depth. Which sounds awesome. Check out the thread New Online Leak?

I think they should make dogs unkillable. Just have them run off when fired at or near an explosion.

If they have it where you can easily earn loads of money then it won't be much of an issue. I think it is best that if you die, you respawn with it. If you don't die and you can't find it, then you have the option of buying a new one or running in front of a train lol

I'd actually expand on this idea and propose a myriad of options for a companion: dogs, doctors, harlots, pianomen, bartenders, farmers, or any other relevant role to the old West. Have each option grant passive bluffs and diverse skill sets (to compliment the different play styles), and really immerse the player. Have the decision made for companion selection matter.
