Yeah I'm pretty sure I will end loving it. Just hoped it will throw me immediately in its world but fine, one negative point isn't much of a problem.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
It's such a complex game that (for me) it was nice to start out slowly. It's the entire opposite of GOW (which I loved too).
Anyone seen the rumors about the first RDR being remastered as DLC for RDR?
I've never played the first, so that would be awesome.

Many of chapter 2's missions are slightly tutorially but the game is opens up after the first Chapter so you're mostly free to do as you please.So there's another long chapter of this tutorial part.
Can't say I'm not dissapointed. Expected a fast start which throws me in the world immediately. First negative point of the game for me all honestly.
I won't be playing it again. I'll sell it once I'm done. For me that's definitely a negative but that doesn't mean it isn't a very good game.
So far my impression is that it's a very good game but definitely nowhere near the scored would suggest. It's not an all time great for me which is what you'd think. For example based on my experience this far I'd suggest that Nier Automata was a better game with reviews that underrate it whereas this is a game that I find less brilliant with reviews that overrate it.
Still an excellent experience mind you. The amount of content, the visuals and the world/exploration are fantastic.
I was aiming to grow Arthur's beard to full length (on 7) but I think I'm going to have to shave it all off given he's looking like a complete tosser.
8 or 9 is the highest you can go without looking homeless.
Seen something about that before, that would be pretty damn cool to be honest, i have played the first but i would definitely play a remaster.
Right I keep permanently losing guns during mission cutscenes and it’s fecking pissing me off. Not on any of my horses or anywhere!
The chain gang blokes mission that glitched on me a few weeks ago just reappeared after I finished the game.
Can someone who’s completed the story on a generally immoral/bad reputation score message me? I’ve got a few questions about certain bits of dialogue!
especially around when Dutch gets evil on the island chapter 5 (where I’m up to)
Chapter 2 is actually much better. Enjoying it now, only problem is fast travel needs lots of money to unlock, which is a weird decision in game with such big world.
You'll get more than enough money when you progress to do fast travel all the time. I never did it before maybe chapter 4. You'll lose a lot of the experience and meet a lot less strangers.
I never fast travelled, plus also there is a certain mission, after which you stop really caring about budgeting.
Just ride in cinematic mode but keep your eye out for predators or ambushes.
There isn't any fast travel is there? I thought stage coach was the only way? And they're not really everywhere.
Yes, you have to upgrade the lodgings at camp. But even then it’s limited and one-way only.
One of the first mods I hope to implement on PC...
Fast travel is important in such big games, as the long rides can sometimes be boring especially with the slow motion of the horses, but yeah I'm loving the random encounters on the road so far, makes the world very alive.
Tried it several times, great idea of them.
It's brilliant, i use it when i need to nip for a drink or a slash, stick it in cinematic then soon as you return your at your destination.
You have more than enough money later in the game to use trains and stage coaches anyway, and that combined with the camp upgrade is fine. the first few chapters it's much better to just ride everywhere because of all the random encounters you will otherwise miss.
Agreed. Get yourself a fast horse (the white Arabian for instance, it's free) and just ride around the place. If you don't, you won't experience the game as Rockstar intended I think.
Where do you get the white Arabian? I think I got an Arabian from Sant Denis but it's black and seems like a wuss
The white one is a bit of a wuss too to be fair. But it was my one and only horse I used through the entire game. It's one of the best horses in the game, and free.
left side of lake Isabella, available from the start of chapter 2 iirc.
Well New Austin is a letdown. Expected some fun exploring but there's feck all other than a bit to see in Armadillo.
I'd assume there'd be some dlc there but there's probably not even enough of interest for that to work.
RDR1 remake dlc is the only thing I can think of, specially with Mexico having a basic map to explore via a glitch.
No poncho to buy is a major letdown too. Should be a gigantic poncho selection.

Finally for the white Arabian. Nearly walked half the length of the snowy mountain side chasing after it every time it threw me to the ground.
Arabians are pussies in general.
I won't either. Great game and all but sometimes they can be unplayable. I loved playing HZD a second time for instance
I have a sneaky suspicion that they will release a remastered RDR as DLC
Really? I remember the towing missions as Franklin being some of the dullest gaming i've ever played.
So did this game go full pay 2 win?
I wouldn't say so, i have everything available at my level without spending one gold bar.
No, you can get good weapons by about level 10 anyway if you get the money. The things you can use gold on are just other weapons with barely noticable stat differences, outfits and horses, all of which can be bought normally anyway.
I spent about 10 but it's all cosmetic to make me look like a pinkerton
Buell is probably the best horse that isn't a coward like the Arabian. Very high stamina and health when you've fully bonded with it, and almost as fast.
Don't remember having any kind of problems at the start of GTA V tbh. Yeah I remember its time to introduce characters but I never remember getting bored. RDR2 problem is the horse is awfully slow and, tbh, it looks like it prefers realism over easy handling. The unability to whistle for a horse when he's too far away, the need of continuous tapping of X to gallop and horse losing the stamina some time later, all these are realistic but it makes going on a road from mission to another a nightmare to me.
Turkomans are the best horses, don't shite themselves at any animal with sharp teeth and are relatively fast.
Apparently they couldn't remaster it because the coding was a massive mess, so they'd have to remake it from scratch. Sounds better to me, and having the map from it with nothing in there/only brushing the very edge of it in the story is highly suspicious. Unless it's just to fight there online, which could very well be the case.
I find the online really dull. Without the living world, fast travel, or character dialogue, it just feels empty.
