Yeah I would upgrade the 970 defo, get something beefier than that and I would move to 16gb ram aswell mate because a lot of games use more than 8gb now. Or just build a whole new rig @jesus2nd
If you are moving to a new rig some of the newer AMD chips are meant to be great, 3800x/3900x. Have been considering making the move myself.

Mmmm this is interesting from Humble bundle.

"Red Dead Redemption 2 is provided via Epic Games store for Windows. A free Epic Games store account is required"

Did not see that coming.

I imagine most people will just buy from Rockstar or wait for Steam.

So I've taken a bit of a back seat these past few years with pc releases, usually picking games up a couple of years later but I'm a sucker for cowboys and RDR1 is in my top 5. How well do you think my pc will run this currently rocking a dusty old i5 3570K, GTX 970 with 8gb of Ram...

Am I going to have to convince my significant other that I need to shell out for an upgrade?

At 1080p you might be alright, see how the opening plays, and upgrade then if needed

emm nope entice me but will wait for further news.

Ended up going with cdkeys on this one for £41.99, hoping the keys are sent out soon

is there no date at all for the Steam release? Saying December is just stupid. All this competition for flipping launchers and game exclusivity needs to die as quick as Micro transactions and loot gambling does.

Tony thousands of games have been exclusive to Steam for a decade or more now. Having a game only on Steam is just as bad.

I read 5th Dec earlier, couldn't tell you how true that is.

I bought through R* as I already had their game launcher, I've yet to use Epic games and I don't plan to either.

But that was when Steam was the only launcher

.

And I don't have any issues with it being on other launchers, the issue I have is the delay for a particular launcher of choice.

Anyone know if the phone app will link with the PC version?

jasonsony735 · 3 Nov 2019 at 21:58

Best bet my Cdkey email tomorrow Otherwise it’s a credit card reversal

I don't think you will get another email, you just have to keep clicking on the link in the confirmation email you get when buying and the details will show when they release it

Relax, cdkeys won't let you down. Can't comment on your isp though

I still have outer world's to finish so I'm going to do that as there will inevitably be a patch or two.

mysticsniper · 4 Nov 2019 at 05:34

No keys yet, hoping cdkeys will be releasing them this afternoon.

Tombstone · 4 Nov 2019 at 05:56
