I pre-ordered the disc for PS4. Grand Theft Horse!

BTW this is the third game in the series Red Dead Revolver was released on PS2 back in 2004 or so.

I don't know why I keep buying discs for consoles.

I lost my Horizon Zero Dawn disc when I moved. Pulled it out to watch a Blu-Ray and not sure where I set it. So now I can't play it. But even if my PS4 exploded, I could always re-download a purchase.

I'd be really shocked if the next gen of consoles have discs at all. If you've got any GameStop stock dump it fast before they Blockbuster out.

Amazon is delivering Grand Theft Horse tomorrow but we'll be moving our shop so hopefully I don't miss it. Again, why did I get the damn disc, ARGH!

Been enjoying Black Ops Blackout as well.

Yeesh. Two discs and over an hour to copy them both over. Plus whatever the day one patch is.

Horse ball physics take a lot of code!

It would give you a framerate boost. The XB1X is a rock solid 30FPS while the base XB1 and PS4 can dip into the mid 20's.

There's just an insane amount of dialog in modern games in general. Seems they always like to give you a sidekick (Uncharted, new God of War) as an excuse to have dialog.

Thats why I've enjoyed the new Tomb Raider series more than Uncharted 3 & 4 - she's alone most of the time. See also Horizon Zero Dawn. Amazing game if you haven't played it, and the story is both really interesting and also told very passively ie doesn't get in the way of gameplay. Also not too much climbing.

How do you brush your horse? Do I need to buy a brush?

This is like the least gamey video game ever made.

Thanks, I'll head there once I recover from my cougar attack.

Still trying to wrap my head around the "R2 to pull out gun" thing.

Seems it's intended for quick draw if you're guns aren't equipped. I got in trouble for accidently shooting a dog that way. On the flip side, nobody seems to mind when I murder and skin their farm pigs.

I did the mission where the captured O'Driscoll boy leads you to their camp. You kill em all and find like $600 in the chimney.

As I was leaving the feds show up and kill me. Does that mean I lost the money I found?

I don't understand the rules of death in the game.

And you didn't get killed right after the mission like I did? You picked up $600 but it appeared nowhere?

Maybe it was Confederate bills

So is this game actually any FUN or just a marvel of technology?

I go into a new state with no bounties, OK cool. Somebody picks a bar fight with me.... WANTED! I flee to the big Saint Denis town. My horse bumps into someone UNARMED ASSAULT!

It feels more like a super strict Demolition Man police state than the Wild West.

It almost feels like a David Cage (Heavy Rain) kinda game. Press X to do this, then press L, now tap A... Whatever happened to the good old days of bringing whatever car or rocket launcher is best to complete a mission?

Still remember first level of Goldeneye and there's a locked gate. Instead of roaming around to find a key (like games before) you just shoot it off.

Why have we gone backwards from that?

Saw a YouTube video saying there's a bank job early on that solves all the money problems.

How does one reach this? I'd like to pay off my bounties so I don't get ambushed every 5 minutes.

I really want to dive into this game but I get bored after an hour or so each time I play it.

Seems these days if you make a movie or game "pretty" enough it will get unending praise.... kind of like pinball machines!

Tried that and was successful in one state. Tried in another and Dutch busts me out of jail and I'm even more wanted there!

But at least it cleared one state for me. Makes roaming more fun.

I caught 2 wild horses last night! They're not worth much though.

Still in Chapter 2. When do I start making real money? Heard there's a bank robbery at some point?

Read about a Strange Statues puzzle online, did the quest and got some gold bars! Money problems over!

But right after the quest a man was kidnapping a woman! So I lassoed and fought him. Problem was, the horse ran off with women still hog tied on the back!

I felt bad. I like to think friendly woodland creatures chewed the bonds loose for her.

How funny will it be when the supplemental online portion of an already beloved game (RDR2) blows away Fallout 76 in terms of scope and features?

The YouTubers are gonna have a field day with this

I just got to Chapter 3 last night.

It's confusing when Dead Eye upgrades itself to manual tagging. It didn't tell me this right away so for a while I thought Dead Eye was broken!

Also kind of funny how you kill dozens of lawmen in Valentin and the bounty is only $60. Seems like they give you a deal when the story demands bloodshed.

I don't like it when I get ambushed by highway men, I kill them out of self defense but if a passerby sees me looting the bodies I'm wanted for murder?

Also was doing a debtor mission and he said "find my money in a tree" So I hog tied him to my horse and took him there, which seems like what any reasonable loan shark would do, but I'm spotted and wanted for kidnapping!

Sometimes the Old West seems more restrictive than modern American cities!

Basically they need to flag highwaymen as "OK to kill and loot" same as they do O'Driscolls and the old Confederates.

In the case of the latter 2, you can for instance stop them from robbing a coach, and then loot their bodies in plain views of others and nobody cares.

I'm sure the slow walk in camp is to promote you interacting with all the characters.

Apparently alligator meat is super good for you. And if you have that sniper rifle one shot to the head of a non moving target is super easy.

I absolutely loved Horizon Zero Dawn. Not only is the story super cool but the game mechanics are very deep, how you take down robot monsters, various techniques etc. It's not just "hide behind walls and pop out to shoot occasionally"

Only just realized last time I played that you need a barber to cut your main hair.

Also why does my facial hair have to grow naturally but my horse can magically have any style it wants?

Is there a way to see how many hours you've logged This game's UI and menus are pretty confusing.

I kind of wish games had 2 percentage indicators, one for story and the other for everything total. Most games use the latter so you get to the ending around 65%, feels weird.

RE: percentages there's only ever one (in all games) and it's for everything. So you finish the story usually around 65% and the rest is achievements challenges etc. I was saying it'd be nice to have a story meter and a total meter.

It's funny how games journalists and YouTubers spent the last month praising RDR2 while bashing EA/Activision for mictotransactions, completely forgetting that GTA Online has made BILLIONS selling in game cash and items last 5 years. Which is probably how Rockstar could afford to make a game like RDR2 in the first place!

Now same people are shocked "Shocked I say!" to learn they're selling Gold for the online? I swear some people's memory is near non-existent.

Rode into Strawberry, bumped into a guy with my horse, he pulls me off it starts punching, I run away, and suddenly 4 cops shooting at me for unarmed assault and a $2.50 bounty?

Yeesh. This game sometimes...

Another event: Found a guy who wanted to see who could shoot milk bottles the fastest. So I accept the challenge and lose, assuming the $5.00 bet will be deducted automatically like for everything.

I walk away and he's like "Pay me what you owe!" and starts shooting at me. I defend myself and get negative karma.

How I was supposed to know I neeeded to re-engage in dialog to pay the bet?

How do you collect your pre-order bonus horse? I typed in the code for my Amazon War Horse but have no idea where it is.

In games like Fallout 3 and Skyrim (and to a lesser extent Fallout 4) you'd wander around and finds LOADS of things to do.

In RDR2 there's very little "emergent gameplay" outside of the main missions. Which are all the same (ride X miles shoot 100 baddies get ambushed on way back)

I found a railroad section being built by Chinese and sure enough the foreman had a quest!... It involved following a guy to a tree and yelling at him. Yahoo.

I've been riding around a lot. Found the Tesla Wardencylfe building too.

So is it true you don't even goto Fake Texas until the epilogue? Which is basically the map from the previous game?

Is that the same kooky guy in Annesburg who gives you a book?

OK I did the remote control boat lake thing and met Fake Tesla (after finding his building way up north that I couldn't enter)

Also did the electric chair mission but it glitched - the scientist got stuck on his wagon wheel. I tried loading a save but couldn't watch the execution... So I watched on YouTube.

My biggest takeaway with this game is awe with just how much money it must have cost to develop.
