Just an FYI for those interested in the Online aspect, you need a Playstation Plus account to play Online. One of many reasons I hate consoles.
Lucky for me I had no intention of playing Online but it still came as a shock to me when i bought it last night.
Thank Microsoft for forcing paid online on consoles and now everyone is doing it. But hey, $50 a year for PS+ is cheaper and offer more than subscribing to one mmo, and people here love subscribing to mmos. That part has become more of a personal preference.
I personally would also play that game offline, not interested in the online part. But i don't know when i'll get that game in particular. I have a long list of games i want to buy first.
On the plus side though the PS+ sub gives 2-3 free games/month.
I keep the sub and have loads of free games as a result- I dont really play them but when my kids come over they have a whole library of games to choose from.
I actually think ps+ is a hell of a deal. Something I dont mind paying tbh.
In 2018 besides the monthly free games, I saved about £500 from PSN+ exclusive discounts and free Netflix for 3 months.
If you use your console as a main gaming device, it's a hell of a service. But to be fair, it ain't much if you are getting the device for 1 game only.
Xbox live is the same. Besides RDR2 I'm not playing much on my X but I still jump on and grab every free game they offer. It's been awesome during pc downtime to jump on and play some of the free games I have. No question I get my $50 back every year.
A lot of times you get the $50 back in 1 month. Xbox always shows you how much the games cost that they are giving each month for being subscribed to Xbox Live and most of the time the total value for all 4 games is over $50.
It is a shame though that ps4 doesn't have any good bundles like xbox does. Gamestop has nba 2k19 and sea of thieves bundles both of which also include rdr 2 standard edition for $259.
Heres another one from a different player different perspective. Someone needs to overlay a trollface cigar smoker over that horses face as he rears lol.
yep and its awesome. I beat it in the first 7 days lol I couldn't put it down. I'm at about 93% completion of everything side activities and achievements included. I'm waiting for online.
If you haven't yet, I am 100% sure its GOTY material yes over God of War and Spiderman. RDR2 is amazing, and even more so if you played the first one back in 2010 the characters and story loose ends that are tied up is super satisfying.
RDR2 is a slower paced game from Rockstar as it forces you to really pay attention to the world design and whats going on in it so if you are expecting "GTA but with Horses" its not quite that.

Arthur Morgan is now my number one favorite character I have ever played in a video game. The tone of the Eagles song Doolin Daltin fits his story so good imo.
When he died and you played as John Marston in the epilogue I found my self wanting to play as Arthur again and not John.
I'm just afraid its going to be like the first one for me where it was great for about a week, then I never played it again.
It took me a bit to get through the first one, mainly the gunplay, had to use aim assist lol, but I was glad I finished it at the end although it did take me awhile. This one I couldn't put down and the end is well worth it.

No, not for me, don't be silly, (PC Master Race Only) my son has a PS4 and it's what he wanted for his BD.

I will not pay for multiplayer on a console. Not that I don't like consoles. I just don't like being legally robbed.
The game is well worth the price for the story, you dont even need to have played rdr. I was not robbed and the multiplayer part isnt even released yet.

The game has more single-player contents than Skyrim or Witcher 3. I've passed 100 hours a couple of days ago. You should give this title another look mate.

Looking forward to getting the PC version of this tbh, nothing against consoles but i am patient enough to wait and i would not want to spoil the experience by playing it on a console beforehand.

Unfortunately I'm "controller" handicapped, having never used one I have no abilty to do so with any reasonable competence.
I mean, like "A" button? "B" button? Where are the damn function keys? Oh yeah, why the hell do I have to hold this thing all time?
Never used a controller?
I have to say, while I've used one I've never really stuck with any game that required one as they feel awkward. When I was young this was a controller:
or this:
I find them difficult. I've been practicing with the swtich controller with Zelda, Breath of the Wild as my girlfriend likes Zelda but neither of us is any good at it.
Like Skyrim? Need more content? Try my Skyrim mod "Godfred's Tomb."
I grew up on the joystick and paddle (Kaboom!). But these new controllers have too many buttons for an old fart like me. I can barely use the extra buttons on my mouse...

I was sad when my horse died and felt bad when Arthur died. He found redemption.
