TAKE MY MONEY!!

The previous Red Dead was my favorite game and favorite movie/story that I've ever enjoyed.   The writing was amazing and the game itself was a tonne of fun.

This is just a glimpse of an obviously unfinished product but wow... 48 minutes of what should be a pretty wicked game.

Looks like Blade Runner meets GTA/The Witcher. Hot damn!

That game looks amazing. It may even surpass Red Dead Redemption.

I've never played this but might pick it up this year.  Its long been considered the best fighting/wrestling game and now has a license with New Japan.  I remember that years ago, this game was popular because it featured a high ability to create any wrestler you wanted and some fans created our local guys.  I assume Omega is a regular character now since he's on the cover of the game.

The review has some screen shots which show how the game is inadvertently amusing with it's translations to English during the story mode where you start as a young lion in the New Japan dojo and work your way up.

Universal acclaim and sparkling reviews across the board.

Quote

Game Informer - 10/10 "Rockstar Games has outdone itself again with Red Dead Redemption II."
IGN - 10/10 "...one of the greatest games of the modern age."
EGM - 10/10 "...one of the most gorgeous, seamless, rootinest, tootinest games ever made, and if you voluntarily miss out on it, you're either not a gamer or in a coma."

GOTY? I absolutely cannot wait to play this.

You can always get it digitally ,  the download however is apparently very large.

Got Red Dead.  Barely scratched the surface (Took awhile just to download it).  Games like this always take some time getting into because the first few chapters you're mostly watching the game play out...and learning how to play.  But the graphics, voice acting, sound editing...superb.

I'm amazed at the size of the install file (~100GB) for this game. But this looks like the trend for console gaming, so it is what it is. That being said, I can't even install the game on my PS4. LOL

Time to upgrade the HDD again. Went with this bad boy: https://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX65926

I had a similar issue so deleted a couple of games.  Im not a big gamer so it wasnt a big deal (I basically play one at a time, maybe 2 if I have NHL going).  But their next console is really going to have to have a massive hard drive if gamers want to keep multiple games active.

I use external drives on my Xbox One,  as long as it's usb 3 (which any drive in the last few years would be) then the speeds are lightning quick and it does the job.

I was a nintendo guy myself.  I remember a friend had....Im sure it was Genesis.  He got it because it had a home version of an arcade game that escapes my memory, but something about turning into a wolf.  We thought it was cool.  

I remember my parents bought us the original NES on a vacation to Mount Rushmore.    To think how awesome we thought those gaming systems were...and compare them to Red Dead today.

I had both. I bought the Genesis in high-school and the NES from buddy in Junior High.

 

Altered Beast (the game that was included in the package above) had a guy that turned (altered 😉) into a beast. I remember that in arcades.
