I've been playing most of the afternoon and although there is definitely some jank the gunplay is OK.
Long range is kinda difficult but anything up close with pistol or shotgun is statisfying.

Yeah, not a fan of this particular line of criticism here considering how that line is actually expanded upon in a funny way in another flashback scene you watch down the line.
The writing is pretty alright, and it actually deals with a diverse cast in very subtle and thoughtful ways, which I found refreshing for a videogame.
Not really surprising. Everything narrative related I've seen has made me cringe to one degree or another.
Man I want this so bad, but looks like mine will be delivered tomorrow.Installing now, 24GB Day -1 patch. uff. Still can't wait to play it today :)
What's the size before the patch? Clearing some space on my Pro for this.
When Deacon proposes, Sarah immediately forbids him from saying that line, which is common among MCs, during the ceremony.
,I'm sorry, could you expand a bit more? Not understanding fully
The "Ride you like I ride my bike" line is an actual thing that exists among real world MCs. In those two scenes, Sarah's intent is to make fun of that line.
Interesting. I'll have to see how that plays out.
I'll probably check the game out for an hour or so before I leave for work tomorrow.
Ahhhh, thank you. was trying to think of the line she was referencing
Hmmm, kinda.
I think the big difference is that Arthur keeps track of his own moral compass in RDR2, while here there are lots of characters who directly talk to Deacon about what his actions mean.
The problem here isn't that Deacon is an ass. The problem is that the game gives you mixed messages about what him being an ass means. There are some characters who spend a lot of time giving Deacon shit for some stuff he did... and then in the end it becomes very clear that Deacon was right from the beginning. It's weird, as if the game wasn't sure what's the message it's trying to pass.
Has anyone tried added any of the Pre-Order Bonus DLC? I've just got the game which came with a code for the pre-order bonus.
I've added the code via the PSN Store, but it hasn't downloaded to the console. Not showing in the cart still, and tried re-adding it and it just states the code has already been redeemed.
Looked on my account on the PSN website and under Download List it shows this:
Is it not downloading due to the official release of the game not being until tomorrow maybe? I'm sure I've had pre-order bonus code before and added them prior to release date and they've downloaded fine.

Are people reviewing an motorcycle gang game and expect it to be like some fucking soft romantic netflix movie, where every body is good speaking middle class soft guys. This is motorcycle dude and they speak harsh language, if you don't understand that fact, i think that you shouldn't review or play game like this.

Maybe the content is already inside the disc/base game.
I had a look at the pre-order bonus from the online store I ordered from, seems like they are extras for the game:
Pre-Order Now to get the following in-game content
Drifter Crossbow Early Unlock
Gas Tank Upgrade #1
Nitrous Upgrade #1
Shroud Upgrade #1
Seems weird it won't download.
but in your opinion, is it correct to shit on deacon for this reason while arthur is considered best pg ever? (putting aside the big difference in writing quality etc.)
they sound kinda samey to me, both are very terrible people (arthur probably even more because is a criminal with a murderous past while deacon was a simple biker with some minor law trouble before the end of the world).
not trying tu make up any confrontation, i love arthur like everyone else in here.
(sorry for my english)
Seriously, I don't know from which I'm more surprised. The people who rips these parts out of context and/or just don't understand it or just want to create artificial drama or the guys which believes these bullshit tweets instantly and go mental.
Bollocks like this makes me slowly start to hate my hobby these days.
I think I explained it better here:
I don't think that Deacon is a bad character. The problem is that the game goes back and forth on how it wants to portray Deacon. I don't think that that's an issue in RDR2.
Only played a few hours of it but I can understand the reviews it is getting. The controls aren't as smooth as they should be but gameplay is okay, not terrible but not particularly good either. It seems like it has a lot of the standard open-world fare + light crafting & RPG elements that are in a lot of games, which can be good or bad depending if you enjoy that stuff. As for story and characters, it's early days but not expecting much. The opening parts of the game haven't grabbed me in that respect.
I actually don't agree with the people that say it looks generic but a lot of the game elements are commonly found in other games, safe to say it's not reinventing the wheel although the hordes do seem kinda cool.

ok thanks
people are going crazy for that wedding tweet in the reviews topic lol.
i think the game lacks direction and a strong vision. Hordes were supposed to be the main draw of the game but ended up being something not very important and instead the game was filled with pointless open world filler.
Kind of reminds me of how people where flipping over that beginning horizon quest with brom.
This game was always on my radar but I wanted to wait for a reviews. As 'okay' as the reviews have been, for some reason its hyping me up even more because there's a lot of things in this game that cater to me. The digital foundry video especially tipped me over the edge with just how gorgeous the game is on the Pro. Just ordered, will be here tomorrow. Also, AMAZING OT.
I'm still need to finish a few games (FC5, ACOdyssey, RDR2, Spiderman) but man, an immersive sexy and serious zombie open world, I was craving for this for years. On the fence.
it's painful when you read about people cancelling their preorder for an out of context line in a fucking tweet...
truth
i'm 20 hours into Ac Odyssey (fucking amazing btw).
I'm grabbing Days Gone when I finish it.
I don't get that sense from reviews. The hordes and freakers are all largely praised and described as a major threat.
From what I've seen, the "pointless open-world filler" looks no different than that of games like Horizon, AC Origins, and similar games.
I've got a feeling that this game will be looked upon the future as a "damn, reviewers really did get it wrong, and people piled on it" kind of game.
Confirmation bias is one hell of a drug. I hope I enjoy it regardless.

Download should be queued up for me now. Looking forward to putting in a couple of hours in the morning and seeing how it performs and controls on patch 1.04.
Seems a lot of reviewers dinged it for bugs and glitches. Which is understandable. But since we'll be playing on later patches, I wonder how the experience regarding bugs/glitches will be.

What's the bike like when it's been fully maxed-out/upgraded vs. the state it's in when you first get it? Really hoping there's an infinite gas-tank upgrade :p (or perhaps a reward for finishing the game)?
I don't know? From what I have seen... the story looks hella interesting to me... it's nothing like the last of us... it's a bit less dark then that, it's still dark, but I say it's more mcu dark if that makes sense? It's definitely gotta a walking dead vibe to it... wit a dash of b-tier.
im excited to try the game atleast, the negativity surrounding the game is really exhausting thought, the review thread makes me shake me head
This is a dumb criticism. This person obviously hasn't spent any time with actual bikers. I can totally see that happening at a biker wedding.
I used to go into review threads, but now I don't bother. They always follow the same patterns, and any possibility for good discussion gets largely buried under knee-jerk reactions
People are ignorant. Review threads shows the ugly side of people on this forum.
If you want to be excited to play this, watch the Digital Foundry video from today. Its fantastic.
