So may have been a bit quick to write this off after the glitch.

Played it a bit more and it's definitely grown on me

Stole a train to see more of the map and wow it's brilliant the variety from the bustling industrial sprawl of st denis to the quiet beautiful mountians up by grizzly land or whatever it is with it's waterfalls and dense forest.

Can see why it got rave reviews just for that

It is very immersive. I was working at home today and managed half an hour (grabbed the oil cart from the kerosene plant), then went back down to camp and sat by the fire (work conf call!). Two gang members sat with me and one of them got very drunk, eventually (15 minutes or so), he gets up staggers over to his bed and collapses in a heap. Very funny.

I made stealing the oil cart waaay too hard though, why I thought blasting my way through was a good idea I dunno, it definitely wasn't.

If anybody does the "Book about shootists" from the saloon in Valentine be prepared for some loooooooooong rides. Cinematic mode had me shot and robbed (executed them for the cheek of it) so you can't really leave it alone for very long.

BBC complain to YouTube over a YouTuber killing the a feminist in the game.

Man has his substantially large channel shut down.

I'm glad the BBC had nothing else to worry about to allow them to hassle YouTube.

I self-identify as a cowboy on Thursdays and I am fed up of seeing my fellow cowboys being mistreated on RDR2.

How is everybody getting on with the challenges (gambler, horseman, herbalist etc) ?. Just working my way through them as they're quite fun.

Overall am only halfway through Ch2 but absolutely loving it. Not rushing the story and wasting loads of time just roaming around and hunting random stuff.

It is brilliant, isn't it. Only part way through 3 myself and feel I've only begun to scratch the surface with everything to do. It's open world on a truly new scale. Spent an hour just virtually fishing admiring the detail in the back ground last night as all the other wild life went about their own things like watching an eagle swoop down and take one of the fish.

Sounds so sad to say it back laugh But the levels of detail continue to astound.

I had a copy of the official guide in my hand in GAME yesterday but couldn't bring myself to warrant paying £27.99 for it so put it back on the shelf

I just found the PDF of it for free, so downloaded that.
having had a look I'm glad I never paid £27.99 for it yesterday

Is it the BBC raising the complaint, or are they reporting the incident(s) in this case ?

There's stuff in there which should have been enclosed with the media copy of the game. I spent ages last night trying to work out how to show my list of known missions - couldn't work it out.

Unclear but it's worded like it was only brought down after BBC drew their attention to it. 3D models have rights!!

The info given with the game is laughable.

For example I had no idea you could dive to the side to dodge bullets until right now!

His channel is back up, thankfully.

What a nonsense. Countless videos on YT of GTA V of killing cops, murder sprees etc, but hurt an imaginary suffragette, gulag for you son.

Pages 8-25 of the guide (thanks to the poster who shared it) would have been helpful as a guide or single help doc in game.

I've just downloaded the guide, wasn't going to use one as I like discovering events and things myself but I am interested in the tips and tricks for controls and menus etc.

Are there any pages of the guide I shouldn't look at that will spoil parts of the game for me?
