I remember one time I was on with roxer, I tjink maybe alvarado, and a couple other guys. We saw another player coming, so we lined up and rode toward him like you see the posses walking through town in the movies. Guy rides by us saying "whoa guys, I don't want any trouble."

So good.

Really hope we're not playing as Marston again. I really liked him, but we know his story and his fate at this point. Playing as him just wouldn't hold any weight in my opinion. Personally I'd like to see us either playing as a new recruit to the gang with Marston as a side character, or as a lawman/bounty hunter who's pursuing the gang.

Lots of rumored leaks recently for the game.

The purported leak features a slew of online modes and features for the open-world adventure, including reports of the currently highly-fashionable Battle Royale mode, a team-based shootout known as Fight and Revive, and the Money Grab, which sees players racing against each other to bag stacks of gold, returning to their base and amassing a fortune as quickly as possible.

The notes also speak of a huge online world, like the previous title, where players can roam at will. There is a bigger emphasis on the world having "life", including businesses setting out and packing away their storefronts as dawn rises and night-time falls. This world will be filled with tasks to be completed and activities to while away the hours, such as fishing and gold-mining. Players will hunker down in customisable tents, RDR2's equivalent of GTA Online's apartments. Home on the Range, and all that.

The solo campaign will feature new vehicles such as mine-carts and horse-drawn carriages, and will feature all-new side-activities such as cattle herding, horsemanship and weapon proficiency challenges. A companion app will allow players to socialise and throw down with a round of poker.

Also rumored to include a First-Person mode similar to GTA V's mode.

If that's how much free space is needed after the install completes, it begs the question as to how large the download will be.

Guess I'll hope and pray I'll have the space...got 240/500GB available.

Emperor Smeat

09-26-2018, 09:50 PM

Probably a lot larger since that likely is not including the Day 1 patch.

For those interested or buying the PS4 version, the timed exclusive content for the game was recently revealed by Sony. Its just 4 in-game items with one available at launch and the rest next month.

The first item on the list is the Grizzlies Outlaw outfit, which is available day one on October 26. It's a cool enough look, but knowing me, I'll swap it out as soon as I come across the next best thing. My goal in Red Dead Redemption 2 is to have a snakeskin jacket as a symbol of my individuality.

The next three early-access items for PS4 are all coming in November with the launch of Red Dead Online. There's the Red Chestnut Arabian horse (a tier above the starter horses), an Alligator Skin Ranch Cutter saddle (with health and stamina boosts), and the High Roller Double-Action Revolver.

For those getting or interested in the Xbox One version instead, that content becomes available 30 days later.

Back to this drive size thing: at some point, special editions of "blockbuster game x" should come with a fucking HDD. If you're going to pump the entire contents of a planet and three suns on my disk with no regard for what I already may have there due to mandatory installs, you should come up with a solution that doesn't involve erasing shit and assuming I can just recover all that at a later time. We all know that isn't reality at this point, especially on console.

Hell, just release a "physical" copy of the game preinstalled on a system formatted portable drive with room to spare for future DLC and patches with an appropriate custom shell to be a statue or whatever the fuck feelies you want it to be for that game. Makes that "collector's item" actually useful instead of some ~$150 paperweight.

Several new details was recently revealed via an interview Rockstar had with website Vulture.

In terms of size, the Xbox One version requires 89GB of free space while the PS4 version requires 105GB of free space on the hard drive.

In terms of gameplay length, Rockstar estimates it will take around 65 hours to complete.

And in terms of negative backlash, Rockstar is currently denying earlier claims they made of pushing 100 work weeks for crunch time in order to finish the game on time.

Also the reason why they've stopped bringing in big name actors for their games is due to Rockstar souring on the idea after dealing with several bad incidents in the past.

For those going with the digital version, turns out the size listing on the Microsoft Store and PSN for the game were wrong since Rockstar recently revealed the game's true size.

According to the support page, Red Dead Redemption 2 weighs in at 99 GB on PS4. You'll need to have even more room if you're going digital, as the installation process will require an additional 50 GB on top of that. Xbox One owners, meanwhile, will need to have 107 GB to install the game.

There has been much speculation over how big Red Dead Redemption 2's size is, although all previous estimates have indicated that it was going to be quite hefty. The box for the Red Dead Redemption 2 PS4 Pro bundle suggested it was going to be 105 GB, while the Microsoft Store listed it as approximately 88 GB.

If you're purchasing Red Dead Redemption 2 digitally, you'll be able to pre-load it starting tonight, October 18, at 9 PM PT (12 AM ET on Friday). You'll get other benefits for pre-ordering the game, such as the Ardennes War Horse, Outlaw Survival Kit, extra cash in Red Dead Redemption 2's story mode, and bonus GTA$ for Grand Theft Auto V's GTA Online mode.

DAMN iNATOR

10-18-2018, 07:21 PM

In case any PS4 owners who digitally pre-ordered from the PlayStation Store are concerned about the extra 50GB,

PlayStation 4 owners will only need that combined 149 GB of installation space during Red Dead Redemption 2’s download and installation process; the 50 GB required for that process will be freed up after the game is installed.

The world evolves as time passes. I came across a father and his two sons building a house. They only had the foundation and were trying to put up a wall.

Couple in game days later and I came back to find them under assault from another gang trying to extort "protection" money from them, and all the framework for all the walls and roof had been constructed. This wasn't a mission or anything. Just a random occurence in the game world.

I imagine I come back later again and it will be finished. Same goes for that building under construction in Valentine.

Also, this world feels more alive and more real than any open world game to date. I didn't think they could top gta5 in that regard, but they did. Its not just the density of npcs in a town, but their behavior.

Only negative is that some things aren't explained very well. Like I have no idea what constitutes hiding a body. I tried throwing it in a bush away from the road, but the law still found it.

Met a Stranger in Valentine trying to write a book about this drunk guy passed out at the bar. He gives you 4 photographs of people scattered around to interview for him and promises a cut of the proceeds if you bring him back info to finish the book. Done all that, and now we play the waiting game.

Same, but he still hasn't turned back up in my game so it must be quite later on.

Up to chapter 3 now, think I might explore and do some of the side stuff, see how big the map actually is.

Whatever you can. You do get called out for not adding anything, which has an effect on the morale of the camp. There's an achievement for adding $250, but you'll get that fairly quickly if you add often.

Just loot every corpse you come across and it will soon add up. You'll also get some big paydays on some missions too. You can also find a gold bar worth $500 in the burnt out town near Horseshoe camp, but you can only sell it when you unlock the fence posts.

Don't forget to also spend the camp funds to improve various things in it. If you upgrade Dutch's tent and then Arthur's, you'll unlock fast travel from the camp to any town you've previously visited.

I do miss the days of putting in a disc and playing at once.

It wasn't even so much that (while true), I wouldn't have minded so much if I weren't having troubles.

Firstly, for whatever reason, my disc drive decided it wasn't going to read shit from any disc in it whatsoever. Had to do a bit of fiddling to get it to even read.

After I got that resolved, my disc 1 install kept stopping on its own every .3 to .5%, and I had to keep restarting it manually. I couldn't go make a sandwich or watch TV or anything in the interim. Thankfully, the second disc didn't do all that, but the first shouldn't have either.

Alternate history stuff, I would assume. The US doesn't even have the same President. Also, the states in any GTA games are patterened after but not explicitly the same as real world, from Alderney to San Andreas. It is safe to assume the entire US is different in the Rockstar-verse.

I actually have two externals, so I was able to shit-shuffle to get the ample room somewhere on one of them. I still don't like that this was a problem even though it wasn't a problem for me.

Companies are being to cavalier about end user's storage space on their products, and even assuming what is on the disc to install is the entirety of the final release (but let's not kid ourselves about day one patches), I don't feel like futzing around with the install process if I want to revisit something I like in the future. It is going to stay on the hard drive until my system explodes.

I'm also timid about deleting anything, because I would like to keep it if it goes away. See: OutRun or Scott Pilgrim.

The house just south of Valentine that I spoke of earlier and rewards you when its done. The Lumber Yard near Strawberry also evolves over time, and gives various missions.

Got cheated out of a perfect Bison skin. So don't make the same mistake I did.

If you happen to do some hunting en route to mission. You may want to track down a trapper/Pearson/town to offload it. Started a mission yesterday and at a certain point, the game deleted/removed the pelt off my horse because I had to carry someone. Never had this happen in previous mission until now.

I made a save after obtaining a perfect deer hide as I'd had previous experience trying to swim to various islands in the ocean and drowning and feared if that happened I might somehow lose the hide. Drowned, hide was gone, but I was able to reload the save I made and still had it.

Also, for some retarded reason or another, if you stow a hide on your 🐴, you have to ride it to the butcher stand in order to sell it, rather than being able to just sell it off from my inventory, if you go that route. You can also craft things with hides.

You can find areas with wild horses and try to tame and bond with one to make it your new horse. All you do is approach slowly, calming it when spooked, then when you're close enough, get on it and when it tries to buck you in one direction move the stick in the opposite direction to eventually calm it. Then you can put your saddle on it. Much cheaper, albeit more of a time investment than buying a new horse.

That's because your horse knows how to navigate through trees. If you must go through trees, instead of holding the left stick and tapping X while riding, only tap X.

Also,

Near the end of chapter 6, I had Arthur carrying almost $50,000, which for 1899 is insane. Adjusted for inflation, in 2018, the amount he was all too briefly holding was equivalent to over $1.5M. By the end of the Epilogue, John (yes, John - RIP Arthur, we hardly knew ye :'( ) had the equivalent of a little over $600k. I put this under spoiler tags as to avoid accidentally giving away any key plot details.

The other stuff can be done later except for that achievement about "honor" missions and giving the gang all the items they wanted.

The cross burning, you mean? Those were first talked about in the book The Clansman, which came out in 1905.

Talked about, but never done in 1905, at which point the KKK didn't even exist. The first incarnation was broken up by the federal government in 1871 and it wouldn't be until 1915 that it formed a second time.

In fact, the first burning of a cross in the US was by William J. Simmons at Stone Mountain, GA November 25, 1915 to inaugurate the Klan's second incarnation.

Seph forgets himself. He reports to me, the Super Duper Cereal Grand Ultra Imperial Dragon Wizard.

I remember the crash, and immediately laughing so hard I couldn't breathe, and then I had no idea where I was or what the fuck was happening, for several seconds.

Jesus this game.

ahaha I didn't see the rocks because I was looking at you running straight at me, and trying to figure out what the fuck your plan was.

Also, I wish I would have recorded on my screen. That vid does not do justice to how much air that stagecoach got. Unfortunately I was too busy cutting all the oxygen from my brain.

My new favorite thing to do is drive-by lassoing people (especially if they're in a posse) and dragging them to the middle of nowhere just to inconvenience them.

I can't even do that shit in off-line. Can't get that challenge done. Did it once but they guy died on the way.

Can't beat the online mission where you have to hogtie the gang members. Horse always runs out of gas and they escape. Fuck.

Haven't finished it the game yet.

I hear it's got some bugs and there's a chance Rockstar might reset everyone's rank in order to fix things.

Keep in mind, it's in beta stage.

I'm waiting until it's out of beta and is the proper thing. Rumors are that progress might not carry over, so would rather wait.

12-03-2018, 03:02 AM

Unless someone finds some sort of rank up exploit or gold glitch, I dont see why they'd need to go nuclear and reset progress.

Fignuts

12-03-2018, 03:31 AM

Well there is the pig exploit for regular cash. Got about 200 in an hour of doing that.

Damn Rockstar and these stupid challenges they put near/at the end of the chain.

damn..i wish i would have known about trinkets that i had available to me throughout the story to get. oh well

DAMN iNATOR

R* are claiming they are fixing the online economy and balancing issues amongst other things, but still, why would they put the online beta out as it is? A can of beans shouldn't cost more than a fucking gold ring. It also shouldn't take as long as it reportedly does to earn just 1 gold bar.
