I'm sure this has been asked before, I apologize.
I have bought it on the AUS PSN store. Is it already unlocked there?

Can anyone answer for Ps4 if you put in the Data disc and can leave it 'installing' on the XMB and say play something digital and wait until its stopped spinning then enter the Play disc? Or do you have to boot it up and look at some install screen for 90min?

The Digital Foundry analysis mentioned something that I've always tried to put my finger on with Rockstar open worlds.

So, I've always thought that ROckstar made the best open worlds, and other games *try to* but they're never as good, I always feel tied to my mini map in most other open worlds, and I realize it's because Rockstar uses subtle (or overt) landmarks all throughout the world. Obviously RDR2 is going to be a big step up with this, what with the map-less, hud-less navigation option, but even in past Rockstar open world games, I feel like they make such good use of landmarks throughout the world to make navigation easier and more coherent. Where as, a game like Assassins Creed, pretty muchy any of them, unless you're at an overt landmark like ... The Duomo or the Pyramids or something ... I feel like they just "paint their maps" with generic buildings and structures. Even if you say, "Well, that's what Rome looks like, a bunch of Roman-style dwellings and amid overt landmarks..." I think it misses the point. The overwhelming majority of buildings in the game are generic with no outward sense of where you are. You could be on one block in AC3 and it'll look basically identical to every other block across the map. This is probably why they force you to go up to the roof tops, it's the only way to spot landmarks and be able to traverse the world. BUt, this style then extended to their more open plain natured games.

ANd yet, Rockstar worlds take something like ... a desert ... a thing that by the very nature of it is supposed to be unremarkable without landmarks, but they make it navigable and recognizable, because even deserts are navigable (maybe not like, the middle of the Sahara desert or something, but you get what I mean).

this is pretty much the exact opposite of my experience with rockstar games. the only real landmark i remembered in gta 5 was the church near michael's home. other than that none of it really helped me to figure out where i was. the mission at the end of the game when you had to find those cars based on photos and general area was an absolute nightmare.

I wanna dress up Arthur like William from Westworld. I'll pretend like there's a burgeoning AI revolution in-world.

Does this game have some of the most realistic physics when it comes to horses? It's gonna be like Skyrim all over with people throwing their horses off cliffs and seeing what happens lol.

I don't know if it has been answered, but when putting the disc in does it tell you on the notification page for PS4 when the second disc needs to be inserted?

Guess my local Best Buy is unlucky. I preordered the PS4 Pro bundle and every source online said I'd be able to pick it up tomorrow evening during the pre-release event and a friend of mine is able to as well but I called my store up and they said I'd have to wait until Friday.

Bummer.
Be sure to mention it's for preorders. Every single store that is open until 9pm local time is participating. Go in tonight anyway and demand they ring it up, it should go through after 8:30.
