I initially played GTA V on my PS3 and never really got into it, then got it on PC and absolutely loved it and played all the way through. Apart from being a better experience I think it's also down to me not getting on with consoles and their controllers these days. I don't have a current gen console anyway, so how cheap it may have dropped to on those platforms doesn't matter to me.

All I can I think of is the majority of keys that they have obtained are special edition. The price listed now was a daily deal price yesterday, which is why I feel anybody who has paid £46.99 for the Special edition or paid £44.99 the standard have the right to moan.
However I have bought it at 42.99 and the only site I can see it being cheaper than that would be Voidu. However they are not selling yet.
To be fair, CDKeys should not be selling it yet. The other retailer/keysite embargo is not up till the 23rd October
Looks great to me, ill definitely be getting it iv never played it (as I don't have any consoles).
Doubt it, GTA 5 sold well on PC and they did the same on RD2.

+1.
But I think they probably needed the extra year to develop the PC version.
At least we are getting it.
Agreed

That looks much better imo than the PS4 pro version I played.

looks so clean
Can't wait to play this in true high res up to 144fps on PC ..I know I wont get anywhere near that, (will take 60+ @ 1440p) but at least the option is there hardware permitting of course, to run it at that instead of the Vaseline 30fps experience on PS4pro

sweet! deffo will be buying it.
Ohhhhh... that trailer looks so pretty.
Tell me, those who have played both, how does this 2nd one compared to RDR 1? I wouldn't say I loved RDR 1 but it was a good enough experience. Does this improve on the first, about the same or worse?
Not sure whether to get it on PC in 12 months or pick up a potential PS5 version instead.

My wife has completed it and I've played about 4 hours worth. It improves on every aspect from the 1st in a great way. The one thing that trips a lot of people up is it's pace. It's strong on the 'sim' aspect, so getting off your horse and leashing it up to a water troff when you're in town. Going to your horse to change weapons from the saddle bags as clearly you can't carry 10 guns unlike GTA V.
Movement feels weighted and clunky until you get used to it as well, which is a major complaint from people but it's because it goes for realistic movement over overly agile character movements.
Highly doubt you'll be doing any modding at all. None of Rockstars games are really mod friendly and they'll probably have a good level of control over the game, especially with their new launcher.
2 is a LOT slower on the animations front than 1, yet at the same time it is more immersive due to the slowness. I barely made it past Chapter 1 without losing my rag and I can see a lot of PC gamers ending up the same way - you need to be really patient.
There is a lot more to do in 2, and traversing landscapes is a lot more of an enjoyable experience as you've got cities, towns, and full on fuana/forests etc whereas 1 was more of a 'brown' experience for the most part. If you've played 1, then you NEED to get this - period.
Imo 2 is a lot better in a lot of ways, but at the same time is no where near perfect. A lot of characters aren't really fleshed out and are just there for effect. Certain missions could be greatly improved but feel rushed etc. I have spent so much time on the PS4 Pro version just doing my own thing and ignoring key missions I'm surprised the machine hasn't died on me.
