Red Dead Redemption

This is already a pretty big delay, original date was "Q1/Q2".

hopefully delayed until I get a job and eventually plump for a new console or new graphics card

rockstar games are always delayed tbf

i never finished this

i will never finish this

Subtweety-type content from friends of mine suggest this game isn’t close

Endless, endless capital still can’t buy you effective management planning

a few months away now and massive preorders and they still haven't shown a second of gameplay. does this game exist

hopefully delayed until I get a job and eventually plump for a new console or new graphics card

HA, I got a job and did the latter. Ready for this, if it exists.

yes it exists

yes it’s gorgeous

yes it’s not as good as you’d expect but you’ll still pump upwards of 30 hours into it

Rockstar games are never as good as you’d hope

otm
they're usually pretty good though

nothing is ever as good as you'd hope.

GTA 3 was

from lolkotaku's preview

The landscape of this version of 1899 America seems enormous and full of life. There are lumbering locomotives, squawking birds, and civilians buzzing about recent events. There’s horse poop, and there are flies. There’s a first-person mode that can be used for the entire game. There are new gameplay wrinkles, including a button dedicated to firing nonlethal warning shots. There’s a shopkeeper in the general store whose item list is a multi-page, illustrated catalogue. At a base camp, the game gave me a tip to remind me that if my character ate too much, he would get fat. Too little, and he’d get skinnier, and lose stamina.

hell yeah i'm gonna be a husky cowboy folks

do i have to find a place to take a shit, too? jfc

lol

I’m sure this game will look great but if it feels like I’m moving in slow motion like every rock star game since gta 3 then uhh

i really want to have the self control to wait until this is discounted before i buy it but i don't think i have that much

im glad they don't launch their games on pc so i can't be tricked into the fomo buy

I am the master of restraint.

calstars, thankyou. It's been bugging me for years why I don't get on with any of these games. and you've nailed it.

I should finish RDR one of these years

me too, but that horse is so fucking slow

it gets more bearable once you upgrade to the steam-powered mechanical horse

pls tell me you are not joshing

whatever happened to jeff levine, miss that dude

I just don’t know who’s that interested in the old west as a trope for a game. Personally I’m much more excited in something like cyberpunk 2077

Is there a thread for that that yet btw?

I’m v excited for that but rdr2 is here now

there's no cyberpunk thread yet i was waiting until it has a release window announced but feel free

meanwhile i am stuck on pc and will not get to experience horses realistically pissing and shitt ing in 4k HDRwith you guys in real time

Same

Same because I'm still on a PS3.

the soundtrack has arca and colin stetson playing on it... huh

xp that is an incredible read. the bosses are all monsters obviously, but the delusion/masochism of some of the staff:

“Out of all those projects, Red Dead Redemption 2 has been the easiest I’ve experienced personally,” said one Rockstar San Diego employee. “Core hours, including lunch, would be nine hours. I’d say I probably get in an extra two hours on top of that most times. During crunch I probably put in another hour or two on top of that.”

So working 11, 12, or even 13 hours days is 'the easiest'.
