Witcher 3 was also graphically impressive and whilst the world wasn't quite as big it was only around 50gbs.

I read RDR2 was 'only' 99Gb on consoles, so not sure how they've managed to add an entire Witcher 3 effectively for the PC release.

its a good thing we do not have data caps in the UK. In the US where data caps is a thing, this must be a nightmare to manage. For a country that prides itself on competition, their internet is run by only a few corporate giants.

Well, my friend in the US has a 980Mbit connection whereas the best I can get is 220Mbit, so y'know… swings and roundabouts. Also doubt he has a data cap at all – are you thinking about mobile?

Probably uncompressed audio and higher resolution textures.

No data caps on broadband are a big issue in the US as is the fact that companies have monopolies in states so you often don't get a choice about who you get broadband through.

And shitloads of video cutscenes maybe?

Pre-ordered. Looking forward to it all the more now

yeah this whole data cap thing in the US is what I gathered from US YouTube bloggers who go on about it a lot. I think you live in the centre of the US you are kind of screwed. If your friend lives in either NY or LA - that is not America. An American told me that. I suppose its the same here. London is not the UK.

Just moved from NJ to CO.

Nice deal on the spangly edition via CD Keys

PC trailer...

Happened to watch this again last night, dunno if I've linked before:

I'd love to have a mammoth PC to play this on maximum settings. Even the base PS4 version was mesmerisingly beautiful. I can't see anything toppling it off my all time favorite game spot and time soon.

I am with you there WoO, although my recently upgraded PC (RTX2080) should make it look spectacular, it is still stunning on the base PS4 that I own.

Pre-load is available for any canaries that pre-ordered, my M2 drive is currently creaking as the colossus invades it!

Well that was a short-lived pleasure. Decrypted the game, hit play - "the rockstar launcher has encountered an unexpected error" and crashes. Tried the troubleshooting tips and...nothing. Checked twitter and I am far from alone!

Ah well, that's my evening's entertainment fucked, thanks R*...
