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'.

Those who had worked fewer than 60 hours were marked with the word “Under” in red letters.

This is so unacceptable! The thing about not crediting ex-staff (and being proud of it as a company policy) is also very much The Worst.

“I’m sorry you had a nervous breakdown and left as a result of our enforced 13-hour workday policy, but rules are rules”

just reading the kotaku review and this stood out amongst the oohing and aahing at the detail :"...sludgy kinesthetics, jumbled control scheme, and unclear user interface". That's exactly why I didn't get on with RDR1 !

I read that your horse's scrotum expands and contracts with the weather.

Mehh clunky controls are no big deal when you have interactive horse balls

imagine being the poor kid working 100hr weeks on ball-shrinking code.

do what you love and you'll never work a day in yr life iirc

Makes u think

Your horse is dirty

Your horse will collapse

your horse's testicles are worryingly slack

Hickory dickory dock

I’ve got some sympathy for the rockstar employees who are saying "please don't boycott the game or we'll get no bonus and we'll have thrown our lives away for nothing" but really, "we'd prefer you to validate the system that's screwing us" feels like a lot to ask.

Not I dilemma I'll need to deal with any time soon tbf, given my current backlog. Very likely I'll just be buying it used 9 months from now.

i'm getting it tomorrow and playing this in 4k w00t
