Todem 4,895 Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 All set to jam this Friday night. Deluxe physical version and Collectors hardcover guide. Been playing RDR again to get back into the mood and this game is going to be incredible. I have avoided all leaks and trailers.....want to be totally unspoiled!

It is the same as the normal guide....but I feel for a game you will pour 75-100 hours into.....it is nice to have that bound hardcover guide. I have the hardcover for Skyrim, Fallout IV, The Witcher 3 and Dragons Age III. Love them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A lot of top reviews coming in. I didn’t expect much less, I’m sure it’ll be top notch. The only time I remember super high reviews for a game I ended up not enjoying was actually GTA4. That game was boring af. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TLEF316 4,930 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 For some reason, I never finished the first one. But this looks pretty damn awesome and I need a new game. Is there really any sort of great difference between the regular xbox one and the X? Looking at IGN's comparison video I can BARELY tell the difference. Is that whole thing basically a scam to try and get me to drop $500 on basically the same console? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah then I wouldn’t stress it. That’s why you probably don’t notice a huge difference in the comparison vids. Yeah they textures are cleaner and it’ll run smoother, but it’s not a huge deal. But if you’re on a 4K TV/monitor, then yeah it’s a pretty big difference. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
belljr 11,011 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 (edited) They have a deal going on - buy Red DEad 2 for Xbox One X and get a console for 399. Been kicking around the idea of getting an xbox - and I pulled the trigger. Xbox One X Rise of Tomb Raider plus Red Dead for 490 after taxes.

That sucks for me because I only get to play a few hours a week. You say a few mention that, but most don't. I'm not worried. The game is just a slower pace overall. IGN said the first part was a little slow but it also served as a tutorial. I'm OK w/ that. I can't wait to see the horse balls shrink in cold weather. The following is from the GameSpot review... A lengthy series of story missions early on introduces you to some of the ways you can spend your time, including hunting, fishing, horse-rearing, and robbery. There are a lot of systems, and covering the basics takes several hours. While they're not so cleverly disguised as to not feel like tutorials, the actual learning is paced well in its integration with the story, and the missions also acquaint you with the characters and the surrounding area.

-arcK- 182 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 For those of you wondering about the differences among the various console versions, here's the latest info I've seen on reddit: Xbox One / S -1600x900 and below (sub 900p) PS4 / Slim -1920x1080 (1080p) PS4 Pro -1920x2160 (upscaled to 4K, dynamic) Xbox One X -3840x2160 (2160p, native 4K, possibly dynamic) The giant gap between the One X and the normal Xbox is very noticeable, in my opinion. But as Bigmarc has pointed out, if you don't have a 4K tv it probably won't matter as much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
