[PP34]

Its still far from being a shiny finished product. Buggy as shit.

At least you can actually play these days.

Red Dead Redemption 2 fans could find out the PS4 and Xbox One release date later this week, as Rockstar sends out pre-order cards to retailers.

Red Dead Redemption 2 pre-order cards will reportedly go on sale on February 5, which suggests a big announcement is inbound.

It's even been rumoured that a brand new trailer will be released for the Super Bowl, which takes place on the same day.

I keep trying to forget this game is coming out, just so I don't sit around for months waiting anxiously! But damn, that's exciting

I just started playing Fallout 4 so I think I'll be fine.

I've done the same

I probably should attempt to finish the first. The multiplayer is ace, the story and the missions just don't grab me. I like westerns and even enjoyed gun. But the gta/open world rockstar style just feels like a grind.

If you find Rockstar's style of open world and mission format grindy, I'd hate to hear your opinion of Ubisoft...

It's a UK thing I'm pretty sure. Not really relevant here but the rest of the information is.

Actually just when it comes to rdr..... i replay gta 3, vc, sa, iv each year.

But yes fair point with ubisoft lol.

RDR side missions were great at the time but certainly haven't aged well.

I preferred Undead Nightmare more for replay value. Something about Western games and zombie games really clicked for me, loved it. Was good fun trying to track down the special horses, conserve ammo etc. and kill with the torch

Yeah it doesn't have great replayability.

I loved the game, tried to play it again recently and got sick of it pretty quick, didn't make it past Bonnies farm. Going out at night with that stupid dog etc

I'm the opposite. I never actually finished it the first time. Got sidetracked by Undead Nightmare and never went back until recently when I decided to play it again from the start and fell in love all over again. One of the all time great games.

I think the difference is you never originally finished it. The story is one of the most engaging things that keeps you playing imo, once i knew how things go I lost motivation to go again

Another trailer?

Giddy up! Bring it

I never finished it but I knew how it ended. Made no difference. I still found it engaging but I understand it was different for you.

I found RDR's single player story was one of the best ever, absolutely loved it, but have only finished it once because I know everything that happens I just can't get into it again, have tried but as someone else said, get to Bonnies farm and that's as far as I go.

Multiplayer was awesome, hoping RDR 2 is just as good online.

Yep. Once I finish a game I honestly find it hard to go back and play multiple times. Even with games where you can have different scenarios, endings etc like The Witcher. Only game I ever beat repeatedly was San Andreas.

I bought this for PS3 a while back, started playing a bit but just don't like the PS3 graphics anymore and it gets tedious knowing what happens in every mission.

So keen for the new one though. GTA V on PS4 is great, can't wait to see what they do with this game.

Generally the same re playing games multiple times, One exception for me is Bethesda games.

That's because of 2 main things:

1. I don't like to do all the side missions in one playthrough as you level up too much and become a juggernaut. it basically breaks the game.
2. You can play as completely different builds and change the experience. Mage vs Archer vs Warrior in Skyrim, Melee vs Weapons vs stealth in Fallout

Just on this, I don't understand why games (especially RPGs) still use level recommendation based systems. Scaling is a much, much better solution than having "level 20" quests that are hard at level 15 and easy at level 35. I like to do side missions but by the time you get back to the story you basically walk over the top of everything.
