Glad I waited for the PC version, although can't play till end of the month which is a bummer but it'll be worth the wait!
Red Dead Redemption 2
- Thread starter RoosterC
- Start date
Those are amongst the bits I am most looking forward to, but then I am playing it more as a wild west simulator, ie. No running or fast movment of the horse or on foot unless it fits the occassion, so walking at a slow pace everywhere, no pulling my weapons unless it fits the occassion and so on, all those little things you mention which some would find tiresome appeal hugely to the RP in me.

Going back to oddysyey at some point as I need to try out the Atlantis dlc that I got free. Think it's the 1st episode... Either way I'm not looking forward to the free flowing nature of the game.Same!
Odyssey was somewhat ruined at the time for me as when I went back to rdr 2, it just felt so much more meaty and realistic/weighty, then jump back to odyssey and it was like being a feather in the wind

Released 4pm on Monday for me, not gonna lie, I'm very excited!

Private Road here so only FTTC, pain in the bum, can't get Fibre at all!!!! Waiting for BT to pull their finger out and get 5G working well. I may be very old when that happens though :/

Surely would a controller not be far better for that style of play then?! Don't know how people can use a K+M in that scenario.....
Would like to give that dlc a go but meh to the gameplay/feel itself
Not for me, I'm hopeless with a controller, I've played every Assassins Creed and every Witcher with K+M , in fact, every 3rd person online, offline and MMO that Ive ever played I've played with K+M, it feels more natural to me and tbh I'm way way more accomplished with K+M than I am with controller

Ha! Yup, exactly
Don't forget the cleaning your guns every 15 minutes to ensure best performance, eating food, feeding and brushing your horse etc. etc.
But your doing those things on a vaseline 30fps experience now on ps4 and keep going back to play it because it's so good, so what's the problem lol. Everything will just be better on pc and you know it

I'm exactly the same. There are a few game types where I may use a controller such as platform or driving game, but on the whole I use keyboard and mouse wherever possible and find it feels totally natural. I could probably play most of it with a controller if I had to, but as soon as there is any aiming of a gun involved...
I was perfectly happy playing GTA V with a keyboard and mouse.

I've pre-ordered through RS. I don't buy a ton of games so not too fussed about paying full price occasionally. It's all pre-loaded ready to go. Seriously looking forward to it, I almost caved and bought it for the PS4 at one point!

Well at least it's getting some use I guess lol. Mine's a glorified paper weight! Red dead 2 needs to be played on PC hacking since GTA to death on xbox then PC they were world's apart.
To be honest BT 52mb when I had that was enough, it's the upload speed I need.

I'm tempted to pre order now, just put my router on top of a lampshade and pulling 200mbit down now lol.
What's earliest it can be played?
If I order off CD Keys does it pre-load too?

50% preloaded but enjoying a few days down in Kent so unable to resume until release day

You get the key the day before release and can then predownload the game then from what I understand from other posts here.

I caved and got special edition for 55 off rockstart about an hour ago, 50gb downloaded so far. guess got to wait till tuesday to play?

As did I, If its half as good as the original i'd consider it worth it. The original was hands down the biggest surprise and most enjoyable gaming experience I've had in the last decade.
Its got big boots to fill and I'm sure being a sequel it wont meet those same standards, but I still cant wait.

It is a prequel not a sequel
I finished this on the one X and it is much better in every way. Can't wait to play it again on the PC.

It unlocks at 1600 on Monday here in California. So should be open for you to play at 2300 Monday night over there.
