Red Dead Redemption 2

Anyone else getting hyped for the release of this game on the 26th?

I'm really looking forward to the enhanced AI and Wanted systems mostly. I really think that will amp up the immersion levels immensely. I also am liking what I'm reading about the hunting and fishing and crafting of weapons and possibly clothes?

I never pre order games, or pay more than the base $59.99 for a game. However I am definitely going to get the premium $99.99 package based on my love for the first Red Dead, as well as everything I've seen so far about this one.

I gotchu here! Full blown console gamer reporting in! P99 days have sadly, come to an end for the most part. Console gaming is my future, and i definitely played and loved the first one, you can bet i'm goin all in on the 2nd one!!!

Also clue me in on what i get if i roll with that 100dollar pre order??

[ScaringChildren]

I'm a big fan of the series, but I probably won't buy it because I'm just less enthusiastic about video games nowadays (I play EQ because I'm mindlessly addicted).

However, in the new Spider man game you can do this, which looks fun as hell.

Digital and Physical versions differ slightly too on what you'll get.

Digital = gtaV money and a treasure map online
Physical = steel case and physical map of the world (assuming has treasures locations on map?)
