Be sure to use an oil based paint as the wood is pine.

I can’t seem to reserve online in any smiths store for pickup- have they stoppped taking pre orders?

Also, with Argos the reservation button is disabled - have they stopped or perhaps just not started taking them yet? Any info anyone? Finally, does anyone know how much RDR2 PS4 will be in Argos?

I can still preorder on the smiths website, is the preorder button not showing up for you? With Argos, you can reserve morning of launch, sometimes night before so you need to be checking then and reserve early. You can get an idea of the price by checking the Argos. Co.uk site as they will have the preorder price up.

That has since been debunked by Rockstar.
It's only 50GB

I think it's the usual PS tomfoolorey where you need double the size to download

GavRedKing

I'll be picking it up at Symths around midnight but I wont have the stomach to stay up and see the download through so ill let it do its thing over night and plow into it for the long weekend.

Main Campaign is supposed to be about 65 hrs or so long so its not a game I'm going to finish anytime soon.

gimli2112

Although I've put hundreds of hours into things like Destiny, simply repeating the same thing. 65 hours to run through a campaign seems a lot.

I'm 45 hours deep into AC Odyssey and I'm just 60% through the story.
I'm really looking forward to RDR2 being a long game the length of an AC title

I prefer the story mode to be as long as possible

Length is fine, but I hope it's not padding.

Exactly what I was thinking. Video games shouldn't be a chore. Can they do a witcher 3 with a wild west storyline? I can't see myself sticking it out as much as I loved rdr1 and the wild west, 60hrs can't be anything but grinding I just don't see them filling it with a quality, gripping storyline.

My original debunking has been debunked...

It's Monday, I shall get me coat

GavRedKing

I'd say you could easily put double that 65 hours up between trophies and online play.

A good lot will be padding in side quests and random missions you'll come across but the last RDR straddled a fine line between a very good campaign length as well as pretty engaging side quests and hunts fro animals and gun upgrades etc.

Not sure if it's been said already but it looks like SuperValu will be selling it for €50.

Cheapest place I've seen yet.

It's the loot / upgrading mechanic that keeps me playing games. Invariably I'm rushing through campaign trying to get to the end game. I've played the Division campaign 5 fekn times at this stage to maximise the end game. Same with Destiny 1&2 with 3 play throughs a piece.

So what your saying is you'll be finished the campaign by Monday night :pac:

Not a hope (will probably be quite sleep deprived by then though ).

I like to sit back and enjoy every minute of a Rockstar game, from the main story to just dicking about in the world including the side missions. Won't be in any rush to complete this!

Probably not a good idea to say this as a glorified boast.

py2006

in addition to the 700 voice actors, there are an additional 500 motion-capture actors, making for a cast of 1,200

Feck I sat through the end credits for Mafia III this weekend and it went on and on. RDR 2's will be never ending.

Disgusted to hear that to be honest. Alot of people will get very rich but you can be sure it's not the people putting in all the work and getting sick with stress. Makes me want to return the game before I've even played. Former R* employees do not speak kindly of the management in the company either.

I expected that alright.. but bear in mind, there seems to be a shorter supply of Xbox One copies than PS4 copies for recent releases (CoD, FIFA 19) in SV stores.

2 quick things?

1) Does this have any sort of digital preload? Getting in via PSN (so can use on 2 PS4s)
2) Is it going to be available to either download or play at midnight on Friday morning?

gimli2112

I bought the digital download version. Haven't checked the timer but I assume I can pre-download it like everything else.


Anytime I've bought a digital game I have played it on the day of release. Think this is scheduled for 26th October.

correction

1) Yes. It's usually available to download a couple days before release.

2) Yes. If you buy from the Irish store it will unlock at 12am Thursday night/Friday morning.

Preload on PS4 starts 2 days before the games release, so it'll start downloading Wednesday midnight. The game will then be playable from midnight Friday (as in, Friday morning).

Nah, I doubt it.. I'd say they've got a healthy number of pre-orders as they'd the next best price until now.

I'd say they knew they wouldn't be cheapest so went for a pre order model to tie people to buying it.

I was close to pre ordering it with them but luckily SV will be doing it cheaper which I didn't think they would.
