    The first has recently had a 4k makeover on Xbox One X and having just whacked it on it looks facking gorgeous.

    Still confuses me that people seemingly found the first one anything other than boring.

    I didn't finish the first. Loved the world but got to a point where I didn't want to do anything in it.

    Oh so you could get hyped for shitty Fallout 4 three years ago (I've been reading that thread since I started playing it) but can't get hyped for this?

    Pre-ordered from Amazon so hopefully it arrives on the right day. I never played the first one, so hopefully that doesn't count against me, but absolutely buzzing for this. Saturday is completely free as well, so will be plundering as much time as possible into it.

    It'll be too much like a (shit) movie masquerading as a game.

    Upon launch the there'll be peak bunting but the realisation will set in that it's exactly the same as all the other recent history Rockstar games and that'll be that.

    I'm being harsh, and I'd love it to be brilliant, I just know it'll be constrained by its on rails approach to things and naff cut scenes.

    Well yes its a Rockstar game I doubt those going into it are expecting anything other than a fantastic world coupled with similar Rockstar mechanics. Just as New Vegas, and Fallout 4 are equally constrained by the same Bethesda nonsense. It isn't aiming to be a new breathtaking experience, its aiming to be the best game that developer feel they can put out whilst still holding it somewhat true to what fans expect of their games. The world is massive, its apparently full of things to do, things to see. It strips back the gusto and sarcasm of the GTA series and allows it to breath., supposed to be a slow burn of a game that isn't afraid to make the player slow things down somewhat. The story arc is, bar criticism from a couple of reviewers, the best they've done so far.

    Almost every review is saying its identikit mechanics, but the world that's been created to house that is beyond anything done so far in the medium, and I'd buy into that. Its how much you want to invest into the world, just as Fallout is how much you want to invest into being a character in its world. The former works for me, the latter doesn't. I barely, if ever read/watch reviews and scores are childish bollocks tbf. Give it a 3, give it a 10, who cares.

    I'd generally buy into the hype with this, as I did with Breath of the Wild. It even has its own VATs (auto lock on then you can move the stick to refine aim).

    I will add that I like the heft behind Rockstar's control schemes though, whilst disliking the heft behind Fallout's. One feels more real to me, the other feels clunky as hell. Similar feeling regarding both game's worlds, one structured and fun to be in, the other tedious and samey.

    Woke up early, I’d had a Quidco payout come through into PayPal so I’ve just ordered it to collect today via Argos.
    Means a walk into town so I’ll also get breakfast while out. What a Friday!

    Same as Boydy, I loved GTA V so much I ended up buying it twice and still play it five years after release. With Rockstar I rein in the expectations of freedom a little (the last GTAs promised some real freeform mission structure that was far more hand-holding) but otherwise it's a formula I know and love already so I'm happy with more of it but fancier.

    It's a bit involved in places (I'm not sure the emotional state of the tortoise I'm hunting needs to makes that much difference if I'm honest), and the horse is rubbish (just teleport it behind me when I whistle ffs). Other than that it looks pretty good, I played for less than an hour and I actually began to care about some of the other characters (the camp thing is pretty cool), which is a monumental step for a Rockstar game. I'm not sure I get the 'on rails' complaint, it's a huge open world in which mission take place, it's hardly COD.

    Think I got the first game somewhere in my bedroom IIRC.

    The promotion for this game is staggering. Glad to hear some positive reviews from it.

    Was wandering about before and found a body hung up with no legs or head and all bloody. There was writing on the wall in blood, near to the structure holding the body up was a head with a note, also written in blood in its mouth. Yuck!!

    Two of my mates have been going on and on and on about this today on WhatsApp. Is it that good?

    At least it's made them shut up about Elder Scrolls.

    Well that's six hours playing time just flown by. First time a console game has made me do that since Borderlands 2. The world is insanely beautiful.

    I'd still take that over wondering if your PC can handle it. Or going back to an old game to realise it doesn't support Windows 8.1.
