RDR2 O'Clock Discussion

[Spider-Vice]

Because it's an extensive series of videos, we'll be using a separate place to discuss the follow-up to GTAV O'clock by the CVG/GamesRadar people.

RDR2 O'clock Twitter

First!

 

D'oh!

[Mynameisnobody]

Let's be optimistic 

[Spider-Vice]

 

 

 

DO NOT START FLAMING OR INSULTING EITHER FORUM MEMBERS OR THE BROADCASTERS FOR THE TYPE OF VIDEO. EVERYONE WAS WARNED.

[DuPz0r]

2PM British time, right?

[Chinese Takeout]

I'll give this a shot. I enjoyed GTA5Oclock for the most part, but stopped paying attention to them the very second the game dropped.

 

I'd like to hear what they have to offer in the lead up to RDR2. I just hope it's not an A/V version of the Speculation thread, lol.

 

Edit: are any of the same people still involved?

Tantrums over the video not being what you wanted will be deleted. You were warned, although they have had the inside scoop on Rockstar stuff before, what they did was speculate most of the times.

 

Also it's up, scroll up.

Hopefully everyone here is adult enough not to throw a tantrum just because they imagined they video was something it isn't.

Clarification: is there a difference between "tantrum" and honest critical analysis, or are they one and the same? Like, for example, if you disagree with a conclusion they've drawn, or something like that.

[joshua969]

I may already like this better than Red Dead Radio...LOL

...obviously I mean actual tantrums over the video being speculation instead of exclusive news. We're not North Korea.

It's all about the tone of your reply which dictates tantrum or criticism....

 

I think you can work out the difference.....

That Greatness feeling...Thanks mods and the hosts.

Sorry but I can't listen to 20 minutes of James Jarvis saying "Wed Dead Wedemption" it's way too off putting.

Is there a thread about North Korea? Because I have some critical analysis of them I'd like to share.

[DisCrafted]

Definitely more enjoyable than Red Dead Radio imo. I'll be watching every week.

[Dr.Rosenthal]

Nice video! Nothing new of course, but it wasn’t meant to be and I didn’t expect news. Just a little fuel for the hype train, choo choo! Looking forward to next friday.

[lndex]

Although we already know members of the gang, i'll look forward to see what they make of them!

[DrBuckles]

Hope you enjoy the first show. If you listened to the GTA V show you'll know what to expect from this one.

Great job! Looking forward to the next episodes in the coming weeks.

[joshua969]

I liked it.  This will be a nice treat every Friday morning.  For obvious reasons, the October 18th episode will the last one I listen to.

[Anonamix]

Good stuff.  Gave me GTAV hype flashbacks.

[joshua969]

I chuckled when they mentioned the miniature Shetland Pony you would just walk along with.  I also didn't realize a horse digging is a sign of hunger and/or boredom.

QFT.

[damienrayemusic]

Nice!! Something that stays on topic... (Sorry red dead radio) on top of that I'm convinced once the hands on previews start dropping in the next couple weeks, that's when we will see a video pop up from them about it. 

[BUT THE BENZ]

for some reason I await imran to tell me how there's bulletproof hooves and multiple colored variations for horses which you can order at your trusted horseshoer!

[Chinese Takeout]

Ok, I was going to come in here to throw a temper tantr...I mean, give some critical analysis of the video by pointing out: how can they so confidently claim that that's the Wheeler, Rawson & Co. catalog sitting on the counter there? I mean, it would make sense if it were, but that's hardly a CONFIRMATION that it's the same one!

(ﾉ °益°)ﾉ 彡 ┻━┻

 

But, then I captured the images from the 4K copy of the GP video (the French version which is less compressed), blew them up in photoshop, and LO, AND BEHOLD...

Spoiler

 

Original:

 

Repositioned and re-sized to approximate catalog in screenshot, 2nd one darkened and blurred for closer approximation...

 

...and, finally, reversed the logo from Red/White to White/Red, to compare it to the spine:

 

Yep. No doubt at all. It's the WRC catalog.

 

But, then, my question about the game is...do we pick up the catalog in order to make purchases? If so, why? You wouldn't use a catalog to buy something in stock. You use a catalog to ORDER something that ISN'T in stock. And then it has to be delivered. So, I wonder if it's just a goofy mechanic for buying stuff in the stores, OR, I wonder if in addition to buying stocked items, you can place orders with the merchant, and then check back after a few days to pick up your item when its delivered? That would be a kinda cool way to add realism to the game. As long as I can still buy most of the items I need right then and there.

 

 

TL;DR: Good job, RDR2'Oclock!

Missed these guys. Loved GTA V O'Clock. These guys are awesome. No bullsh*t click-baiting, just some genuine fans that like to have a nice conversation about the game. I don't even care that they're recapping the stuff we already know for the first episode because I know good content from them is coming.
