@Kidfried Pushsquare should add a calendar next to Games colletcion in the profile section. The first week after the release date of a game we marked as "Want" should automatically go red!
@Kidfried I'm slowly boarding the Red Dead Redemption 2 hype train, and am currently debating with myself whether or not I should get it. It doesn't help that if I do I'm fairly busy for the next two weeks, including with my birthday. Sometimes you just can't help it!
@Tjuz My sentiments exactly. I told myself I was going to wait and that there were just too many unknowns. And here I sit, making plans in my brain about whether I should run by Best Buy tomorrow at 9 PM to be one of the first to procure the game, or just wait until Friday. Either way, I’ve been licking the pavement and eating food out of the trash to make myself ill so I can call in sick to work Friday. 😉

I can confirm there is a map in the standard physical edition. Just saw it in someones you tube unboxing vid. That probably means the other editions will either have 2 maps,or a better map.
@Tjuz You could get it as an (early) birthday gift!
@Th3solution That's a thing in the US then? Games used to break the street dates all the time over here during the PS2 era, but lately I haven't seen that happen again. Call of Duty got a few midnight launches, but there's no way I can get this game today already.
@Kidfried No, it’s the same here — there used to be a lot of midnight launches for the big releaes and places like GameStop would make a little event if it. Like they would have a midnight release and I remember a few times they would have like pizza and music playing, like a little party leading up for people as they waited for midnight to hit. They haven’t really done that in quite a while. Red Dead Redemption 2 is the first game in a long time that I can remember that is actually releasing at 9 PM at the major retailers. I think the Push Square article from a couple days ago mentioned Best Buy and Target as being involved in the 9PM Thursday release, but I see online that GameStop is doing it as well. I think because the game is such a huge release, and it’s going to be so popular here, and since Rockstar is a US company, and since there is already talk of early spoilers online, that they decided to let us have it a little earlier. But actually 9:00 PM here is like what, 4:00 AM in Europe? So it’s only a few hour head start for us. Heck, Japan and Australia would have it been able to play it a full 12-16 hours ahead of us because of their time zones. So in today’s day and age of immediate communication international exchange over the internet, they really needed to level the playing field here. Us getting it a 9 PM puts us closer in line with the earliest people from across the globe to be able to play it, so American streamers and YouTuber should be satisfied to not be at a disadvantage on the internet. So the “early access” is just actually more of well disguised equalizer. If I pick it up at 9 PM and start playing it immediately and post my thoughts on here than I won’t be that far ahead of you if you go when your shops open. And I don’t know about downloads. Not sure if the world gets access to the download at the exact same time.
As for midnight release parties, I just think they were not financially viable enough to keep doing. I’m sure it cost GameStop a lot of money to pay employees to work overtime and stay at work until 1:00 AM. So the 9:00 PM release makes sense there too since I think most stores close at 9 or 10, so they don’t have to stay open late. It’s not like the retailers don’t have the games already sitting in boxes in their stores for the last few days. 😄

Think I’m going to be a bit late to the party.
Gave myself a week to beat the first game & I’m just 15 story missions in now.
It’s going to be hard to keep playing once RDR2 is in my hands though... .

Help needed. Im at the point in the game where they are waiting for the train to 1st arrive.Arthur needs to put on a mask,but im pushing something wrong and it wont equip the mask.
I've only just got going with the game but the cinematic mode when travelling is a neat addition and adds to the ambience of the game. I'm not sure how much I'll use first person mode though; I completed single player in GTA5 with it (having played the campaign before on PS3) but still feel these are best in third person.
@andreoni79 They're on 1.02 at the moment and I'm playing on an old base model PS4 with no problems in the early game.
I'm only just into chapter 2 but first impressions are pretty good. I'm not so sure about this whole having to eat etc in order to maintain stats as it feels like it's going to be a chore more than anything already. Being forced to walk at a snails pace around camp is also quite frustrating.
I've spent most of my time in chapter two just tracking and hunting animals so far though.
@andreoni79 I only managed to play about an hour last night, because we decided to finish watching The Haunting At Hill House first. Nothing against that show, but that final episode felt like a long, long hour. no glitches to report. Played the first two missions and then wandered about in the snow like an idiot for a bit.
Good job, Parappa. You can go on to the next stage now.
One of my bigger concerns going in unfortunately holds up. The game clock is way too fast for what the game's trying to do. You can walk into the general store in the morning, have a browse through the excellently in depth catalogue and by the time you're finished it's night time, or maybe even the next morning. That's just ridiculous and completely ruins some of the immersion for me. I really don't understand why they haven't fixed that or at least added an option to change it depending on your play style.
Look, I love the game and there's no doubt I'm gonna spend dozens of hours in it so it can't be that bad but there's a ton of annoyances that I feel could've been avoided.
I think it's all the more frustrating because this game is so close to being as perfect as I'd hoped, there's just a lot of little things holding it back.
@hulkie either it doesn't really matter. Both are good fun to look through imo. It's really cool that you can look through the catalogue online as well and buy in-game items from it while you're away from the game
