To add to this question, does Xbox and PS4 have different release times?
So I've just quit 10 hours in, I'll return tomorrow.
Another cool take away: no freezes, no crashes, no glitches at all, no weird animations, steady frame rate, Native 4K on X, great HDR implementation - out the box everything just works. I realise that shouldn't get praise in itself, but given the sheer size of the game and number of gaming systems it deploys, that's a huge achievement. This game had serious QA.

2 hour install time on PS4 wtf. Was hoping to get some playing time in before bed/work. You know what? Fuck it, getting it digital. I have some PSN credit I can use.
is it a real slow burn right away like they all state? and if so, did that 'bother' you?
I agree but R* dedication to realism/immersion knows no bounds.

For me, it means deliberate and a sense of physicality. Like I imagine a lot of people hate the boy's movement in The Last Guardian. I love it. It felt like you're controlling this lanky little kid exploring the ruins, just barely able to survive in that place. It felt right that this kid doesn't move with pixel perfect responsiveness, that he was loose and gangly, tripped and stumbled when he ran
If I'm playing Doom, Titanfall 2, Ninja Gaiden, Super Meat Boy, Mario, yeah my character better move instantly and react with precision
Xbox One X 1080p super sampling
It looks absolutely incredible, in motion even 3 times better.
Holy cow! Time to get an X I guess. Same setup here, 1080p TV and I was waiting for someone to post how the game looks when super sampled on the X.
It's a very slow burn. The opening 'tutorial' Section goes on for hours, and there's only one big action set piece really. Once you get into the full open world the first bunch of missions are good variety and pretty laid back.
None of this bothered me. It is relaxed and confident as a game. It's very clear Rockstar want to set a tone, that the world and struggle is more important than bombast.

Has anyone tried to play like this?

Sounds fantastic
Still waiting on my copy to ship from Amazon. Hopefully it's coming from one of the local distribution centers so I still get it on release day.
8 more hours for me
Man think of the poor folks like me who aren't able to play until after work TOMORROW.
The horror
Exactly what I was hoping for. The less completely dependent on shootouts the game is over its entire running period, the better.
Plays fine in the more open environments. Frames start to drop to on average 25fps in dense towns. However, all of the consoles save for the X seem to have an issue with some frame drops in the towns. The worst case for this however was surprisingly on the base PS4.
I'd say the biggest draw back with the OG Xbone is the low resolution. Shit is blurry.
Thanks for that, I guess that will have to do, thanks again
But there's a 2 hour install once you get home, then the day one update.

Yes, this is important too. RDR had a lot of great non-action beats and missions but it also just threw shootouts at you. So many of them just felt like filler because well, it's an action game and you need to have shootouts.
I liked the shooting in Red Dead. I didn't like the amount of shooting in Red Dead
By the way, the horses don't just have balls that shrink and grow depending on weather, they have penises too. In the credits they have somebody who worked on this code.
Lol it runs just fine.. Played it for an hour on ps4 pro..looks and runs great.
It doesn't, it just looks that way when compared to the XBX version.
Completely spaced that I could have chafed region on my Xbox and been playing for hours, fucking hell.
