I have it on regular old PS4 and it looks great imo and haven't had any framerate drops or anything. I'm not too fussed about graphics though, obv gonna look way better on the newer versions if that's gonna bother you. Game is incredible btw, played like 14 hours straight last night lol.

You guys go for disc purchase or online?

online, I don't see the point of a disc purchase unless you have slower internet. Took me less than 15 minutes to download, thats faster than a trip to the store.

I bought digital. It only took 22 hours to download using Verizon hotspot with mixed signal strength.

I got disk cos it was £10 cheaper and I’m a nit. Order online obv so you don’t have to go to the store.

I guess it's also resellable that way too

not having to put on pants still trumps those concerns for me tho

15 mins God damn. Mine is 90 minutes in. Says 90 min left

Mine took about two hours from the disc

dl took 8 hours for me. I very much enjoy this game but it is much slower than just about every other game I have played over the last decade. Walking is slower. Horse travel is slower. Combat seems much more difficult than most other games. For instance, I'll just be riding down a trail and suddenly I'm surrounded by 6 gang members firing at me from all angles. The interfaces are hard to navigate when you're early in the game and sprinting away just isn't all that effective. I've certainly died in a few instances for this reason.

There is so much to do in this game that I don't feel like I've even tapped the surface of it and I'm about eight hours in. It's gorgeous and wants to be experienced more than played imo. That can be a turn on and a turn off. My biggest fear is that I'm going to put it down for a week and then not be able to play it because I've forgotten how.

God ****ing damnit, played some dominoes at the train station, called my horse when I was done only for it to say he had died, I was like wtf then went to where my saddle was only to find my horse lying by the side of the tracks, I must have jumped off and left him on the train tracks ffs. Now I gotta walk round with my ****ing saddle till I find a new one. I paid $150 for that horse lol.

This game really blurs and disrupts assumptions one makes about games, assumptions one took for granted and was not really aware off.

I dont think its unfair to say, that its absolute core, this game is a walking simulator.

All the game in the game is pretty poorly implemented imo, but the experience of playing, it is truely interactive theatre or somefink.

smash the A button

Move up to where they respect your console.

i bought the disc. I've been with the series since red dead revolver so i wanted the hard copy for sentimental purposes. Plus it comes with a nice case aswell as 2 maps.

Switch on foot controls to standard fps and toggle for running. It changes L3 to run and X/A to crouch. So much better.

2x tap assist for pushing/pulling/lifting stuff is nice, too.

i can beat up on RL console players on my PC :/

btw we should hit up 2's. I'm not that bad.

LENNYYYYYY!

That mission was awesome lol

I kept expecting it to go really really wrong but nope. That was pretty great.

I know that sprint exists. It just seems, even while running, that things move slower than I'd like.

This game is set in 1899. I'm having a beer in the saloon and the pianist is playing Joplin's "Maple Leaf Rag" which was released in, you guessed it, 1899. I see you, Rockstar musicology nerd.

Great game overall (once you get past the agonizingly long tutorial) but the honor/wanted/crime system is idiotic and makes me want to smash my controller. Someone else starts a fight and you get wanted for defending yourself. Walk down the street and bump someone too hard - wanted for assault! Hit anyone with your horse -yep, wanted again! Witnesses see you through walls, trees, hills from miles away, guess what? Wanted again.

Frustrating and unfun. I'm not asking for it to be like skyrim where you can shoot a guy and the guy standing next to him doesn't notice, I just want to be able to walk down the goddam street without getting a wanted level if I bump into someone. Really needs tweaking.

I agree ^^
Got out of the post office and was gonna take my horse. Accidently get on another (next to mine) and I'm instantly wanted for horse theft, although I got off right away and left it there.

I mean, the game is great, it's an outstanding experience and those issues are no big deal. But does no one test those games and is like "Yeah we need to fix this."?

Manual saving seems on bit off. I saved after I collected a debt from a guy but after loading, I appeared kneeling on the ground a few feet away as well as not saving the guy I looted. I could be wrong. I prefer to have the screenshot and exact location saved like skyrim.

That makes me pumped for TLoU2. Agree with everything Hulk said but none of it makes me rage.
