    3GB... I think that takes about an hour for me, depending on my internet. Dammit. I don't have the option to get much better either. I have only 3 providers in the area and the two others are worse than the one I have. How long does it take you for 3GB and what is your internet speed?

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

    Dammit oh actually I had another question which is unrelated to this but cbf man NH another topic, so I'm in Australia and we're 15 hours ahead of the US so the midnight launch will let us get red dead before America but I'm wondering if that will cause any issues with streaming the game

    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...

    What's up

    Hello Steve,

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

    I don't ever remember it being a hefty DL after this kind of installation but I could be wrong. I am fine with it taking like 10 min. Gives me time to sort snacks, drinks, and get my spot ready for a 6+ hour session with no breaking. 

    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.

    Sure why not, I can read it when I got some time to kill. I only have like a few days left of real life anyway. lol

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

    I like women. I like women who play games. It is a HUGE bonus for me when I am dating a woman who enjoyed video games. The issue here isn't the women, it is the try hards who will hit on anything with a pair of tits and a controller. 

    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.

    Spotted this as well. It is almost time. I wish you could actually install the full game now and play it straight away on release day. 

    That has to be the biggest downer of modern gaming. Even if you have the disc, there is a waiting period now.

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

    How you feel about the game being 60 hours long?

    Now what would impress me is if it is 60 hours of just story scenes... LOL

    Either way, 60 hours is a good amount for a story. I would imagine this is not 100% completing the game. Just like a straight run through of the story. It will easily be another 20+ hours for side missions and depending on the player, it can take much longer. I won't be able to play every day but the first few days I will be investing a lot of hours in it.

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

    Damn nice dude. I am going to have to check these out. I like reading novels form people who are less well known. Seems like once authors blow up, they lose their edge or something. 

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