Poke_4_Life 2,006 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Gameplay trailer part 2 is out today. This looks amazing. I'm going to have to work hard to keep my wife and job in the months after release. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ConnSKINS26 5,718 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I went from not knowing anything about this game yesterday to seeing the new gameplay trailer and reading up on it and being extremely excited now 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ConnSKINS26 5,718 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Just picked up Red Dead Redemption for my old dusty ### XBOX 360 to play for the first time before the new one comes out. I know the resolution and graphics would look better on the One X but I'm a PS4 guy so I'm stuck with the last gen version. Hoping it's aged well, I've read that it has. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Poke_4_Life 2,006 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Finished the bounties in GTA online. So all my crossover stuff is done. I put a 2tb hard drive in my PS4 last winter, so I have plenty of space. Now I just need to spend time with the wife for the next 19 days so she won't kill me at the end of the month. So excited! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Leeroy Jenkins 2,749 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Red Dead Redemption is probably my favorite game of all time. Should I get a ps4 or xbox one? Is there a cheap version of either? I basically will use it only to play this game and become my primary streaming device. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you have a 4K tv though and some extra scratch, I’d go XB1X. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There is a PS4 Pro bundle out there with the game for $399.99 for pre-order if not sold out already. You can get a new Xbox 1 S or PS4 slim for pretty cheap these days if you prefer. But if you want to go even cheaper just go used as someone else said. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

STEADYMOBBIN 22 3,981 Posted October 10, 2018 Author Share Posted October 10, 2018 This game is what will push me to buy a 4kTV too. I also need to buy the Xbox 4K version so all told I’m going to drop over a grand for this game. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Borden 1,078 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Finally bought my preorder. When for the mid tier option. The highest tier one is online stuff. I’m not that interested in that.

This is a true #firstworldproblem. I really am torn. I feel you on that dilemma. I don't know about you, but I'm starting to get to the point where significantly messing up my sleep schedule has long-term effects. I'm in MTN so it will unlock at 10 for me. I'll probably play until around 11:30 and then go to bed. Still have to take my daughter to school at 7:30 Fri morning, then I'll come back home and be in good shape to play all day.

bigmarc27 4,162 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Just for conversations sake, how are we going to handle spoilers in here... not “should we have spoilers” but how do we preface what’s in the spoiler tags so we all don’t click on something we don’t want to see? My initial thought is denoting whether they’re main quest, side question, or open world and maybe work our way down from there? I’m going to grab this day one, but I’m sure we’ll all move at different paces. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I will probably stay out of this thread for a while after launch, but I fully expect to still be playing story mode the rest of the year. I will play online at some point, but I'm not going to rush story mode to get to online. I also only get 10ish hours a week to play on a normal work week. FYI, read this week the main story is around 60 hours long. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As for spoilers, I think you laid out a pretty good plan. Something like this... Main Story Spoiler There is lots of cowboys and gun fights. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think XboneX is supposed to be slightly better. Im not really sure. The differences are supposed to be marginal and finding objective opinions is a chore. However all your PS4 stuff will play on the PS4 Pro. Digital purchases and PS+ downloads. I couldn't switch from PS4 now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GregR 5,625 Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 FFS. Playing the first one, I roll into Tumbleweed or somewhere like that, rescue a captive sheriff and then am clearing out the town of bad guys. Decide to hogtie the last couple. Because that's how I roll. So I run into a building where one is hiding, swing my lasso, nail him with it... ... and the game teleports me outside the building and about 50 feet up in the air. From where I look down and see something that I decide to call "ground", and wonder if it would be my friend. It wasn't.
