About 5-10 mins for me on 250mb fibre.

Doesn't everyone get it at the same time? I can play it at 9pm on the 25th but that's still midnight on the 26th for the US...

Just digital.

I'm buoyed by the fact that virtually every time I open BF1 there's another 10GB update that needs to be installed. Thankfully I have a good connection so I'm not too worried about the patches.

The luxury of owning a Playstation, huh

SE for me.

Are you a 'borough fan as well as a Red Dead fan?

That's a nice touch. Not sure if there's anything like this on XBox.

My guess is it will be pay-to-customise

Just leaving this here.

If I can predownload it all snacks and drinks will be by my side and I will be sat like this from 11:30 onwards. As soon as it ticks to 00:00 I'm gone.

Patches I can handle but 90gb would SUCK.

Yeah I'm pretty sure writing will stop for the next 3 months. I have a week to finish this book.

For me, there's a balance in our relationship. She kinda likes video games but she knows the closest she'll get to playing RDR2 within the first week is to sit near me and not talk while I play it. I do the same with her games.

So I'll still have to d/l on game day? I thought that was the point of preloading? That would suck.

Anyone know of any comparisons off the top of their head? I'm struggling to picture how long it is compared to other games.

I can send you part one if you like? Always happy to share my work.

I'd be both surprised and disappointed in equal measure if they did anything even remotely pantomime in RDR2. Can't see it myself - this game seems far more serious.

You're right, bootlegging and the underworld it took place in would make a great game. Lawless is a great movie set in that era. Tommy guns, gangsters. Epic.

Hi Steve, welcome to the hype! I think even my mum is hyped for this game and she's 70.

A beautiful sight to behold. Only, it took about 5 minutes to install them all. Pretty sure it didn't include the main game content. Still, it's good to see those red tiles.

Did you do what I did and copy and paste the ß from @Archbell's post
