Qu3ster Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I planned on taking time off work for the release (figured it to be in May) but this actually works out better for me. I usually take time off for Halloween so now I can just save the days and take 2 weeks off instead of one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also have you decided on which console you're going to get it on? I was planning on taking leave myself but with my crappy download speed I'll only be able to do so if I get a physical copy. Of course I need to also actually buy a console lol - I wonder if they'll have themed consoles for RDR2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anc1entC0re Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Man I would love to say I could get time off. I might be able to swing a long weekend but everyone I work with will know it is to play RDR2 cause I talked about it so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riptide87 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Don't the digital copies take a lot longer to "install" and play or is that the other way around now? I mostly play on PC here so I am not sure which is which anymore lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you buy the physical copy, it still has to install a good chunk of the game, some require you install the whole game from the disc just like a PC game works.

Jamesie Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I think the difference all comes down to your connection speed. Currently I have a piss poor ADSL connection that only syncs at 2.3 Mbps (it's a 4Mbps line but I'm too far away from the "exchange" to get that speed). I have a 4G (LTE) phone that can reach up to 18Mbps however this costs me way more than the copper line. It took me days to download GTA V on PC when I bought the digital copy. Now we've just been told that one fibre provider is finally live in our area (which I've signed up for) however that'll still take up to three months to get it installed and active (and the equivalent price when compared to the ADSL line will give us a 20/20 connection, much closer to the viable option of actually purchasing games digitally). Here is a screenie that I captured back when I was first downloading GTA V (the download speed would never exceed 300KB/s): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I get around 63 Mbps download and a buddy of mine gets around 30 yet he is able to install games a lot faster than I am. I can't change providers either cause the other companies around here only offer 10 Mbps max download which isn't enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watery buffalo Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Certains areas don't get good connectivity. I wish we had fiber in my area. My cousin got it and when I was visiting him, the speeds are insane. He can upload a 4k YoutTube video that is 10 minutes long in like 5 minutes.

Jamesie Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Either way since it's on console initially as a "platform" exclusive (I'm sure PC/Switch will also get releases at some point) I'll take a physical copy over digital for now. It's funny because they're also cheaper than the digital copy 9 times out of 10 when buying a physical copy locally rather than from the PSN store (like buying games from almost anywhere other than Steam if you're buying PC games lol - WTF is up with that?).

VICKSUN Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 They still sell CoD games from like 5 years ago for full price on Steam and you can get a physical copy of that for like $5 on eBay. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are quick to buy the latest games even if they only just been playing the last one for 5 months. PC gamers tend to get more from their games and spend a lot longer investing time into a single title regardless of how old it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how it is these days but I know that when I was buying console games I'd make sure that I really wanted the game and I generally bought it to keep it and not just play through and then move on. For PC gaming I tend to go back to quite a few older games more often than I'd like to admit, just playing Alice: Madness Returns yet again as an example (really some beautiful environments in the game). It isn't just on PC though - I also play some of my older (PS3) games through again like The Last of Us and the God of War series. Funny enough I use my PC to play some of my older PS2 games (so yes, emulation but I still own the original so screw them) because most of them don't work on my PS3 (my favourites are SSX Tricky and SSX 3).

This is how I am. I won't spend $60 on a game I will not really play a whole lot. I would rather borrow it, get it used, or rent it if that is the case. Some games just aren't worth paying full price for and they aren't needed soon as they release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinXX Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 There are always ways around spending that much on every game. I think people get suckered into the hype for online games or ones that have a strong online presence. There are very few games I have ever paid full price for.

VampireKrush Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 I only pay full price for a game when I know I will enjoy it and get many, many hours out of it. I actually don't even buy Steam games unless they are on sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrabApples Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Yeah they don't give us much to work with. Once we start getting some details, the information will seemingly fall into our laps.

Gh0stRyder Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 What do you guys think the minimum play time will be if you skipped all side missioned and gunned through the game as fast as possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somewhere around 35 to 40 hours I would imagine. Most games feel a lot longer than they are because people take their time to do things outside of the main story like side missions and exploring. I would venture to guess that is part of Rockstar's success with games like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
