Has anyone actually decided how they are pacing the first week
Not the first two hours. The first week. I have a tendency to do fourteen hour days on something like this and then not touch it again for a month, and I would...
Story questions and discussions
Missions, characters, and how the plot lands, kept behind whatever chapter you are on. Spoilers stay sealed until you ask for them.
how much of the story do we reckon actually happens outside the city
six regions but the cast is heavily vice city. boobie, dre quan, the real dimez, the club, the label, all city meanwhile the keys have jason, cal, heder and lor...
eleven weeks out, what is the one thing you are actually worried about
not what you want. what you are quietly scared it gets wrong mine is that the two of them do not have enough scenes together. the whole pitch is a relationship...
do we think the chapters are gonna be by region
chapters got mentioned and six regions exist. its an obvious guess and obvious guesses are usually wrong but i want to say it out loud anyway rdr2 chapters move...
Did the montage pacing feel like it was hiding something to anyone else
The activity montage is fast. Nineteen things in under a minute, each one on screen for about two seconds. That is either a confident studio compressing a lot o...
Is there a completion percentage and does anything depend on it
The thing that decides whether I have a normal relationship with a game or not. In V there was a hundred percent checklist and a reward for it. In RDR2 there wa...
Is there a cooldown on switching or can you spam it
V let you switch freely outside missions with a short animation. The transition here looks faster but there is clearly still a camera move. Question is whether...
Is this going to be a funny game or a bleak one
Genuine question after watching. The satire is broad and very funny, the fake ads are excellent, and then there are stretches where the tone goes somewhere much...
Did anyone say anything about mission count
V had around seventy story missions depending on how you count the ones with multiple parts. RDR2 had over a hundred across its chapters. Nothing has been said...
Was there a single cutscene in the whole forty minutes
I do not think there was. Narration over gameplay throughout, a couple of moments that could have been scripted sequences, and nothing that was clearly a cutsce...
How long is a Rockstar main story usually, for calibration
Putting this in the newcomer group because the eighty hour number is being thrown around without context and it will give people the wrong expectation. For thos...
does the criminal profile have a visible number or is it invisible
rdr2 honor had a bar you could look at, which meant people played to the bar instead of playing the game if the criminal profile is a number on a screen everyon...
does anyone else think the marketing is deliberately hiding the premise
three years of material and we know who they are, where they are, and that they are together. we do not know what they want, what the job is, or what goes wrong...
Do we know whether either protagonist can die in normal gameplay
In V, dying meant a hospital and a fee. RDR2 was the same with a bed. With two protagonists in a relationship, I am curious whether that stays the same or wheth...
is the ending already decided or is that what the choices are for
genuine question not a rhetorical one. they have said decisions have consequences, that some accumulate, and that its built for repeat playthroughs none of that...
what is the one thing you want that you already know you are not getting
not a prediction. not a worry. the thing you want that is clearly not happening and you want it anyway mine is a mission that is just a whole evening. no object...
what do we think dre quan's arc actually is
hes described as more hustler than gangster, former street dealer, always wanted music. hes signed the real dimez and hes booking acts at boobie's club and look...
Any indication of a new game plus
Asking because the choices comment makes it relevant. If decisions accumulate and the story is built for repeat playthroughs, a new game plus would be the obvio...
Do we know anything about how the game saves
Odd thing to care about but it shapes how you play. V had autosaves at mission boundaries plus manual saves at safehouses. RDR2 had a more restrictive system th...
What do we actually know about how Jason and Lucia meet
Both bios reference the other person. Hers says nothing about him directly. His says meeting her may be the best or the worst thing that ever happened to him. W...
