I hate to break it to you, but...this from all of the special editions:

 

The Nuevo Paraiso Gunslinger Outfit: This exclusive Story Mode outfit for Arthur is inspired by the clothing worn by vaqueros and banditos south of the border. The outfit features a wide brimmed black cowboy hat, deep indigo coat, worn denim chaps, leather gloves and boots.

Yea that outfit is actually why i'm worried   (even though i like it and it looks good) But it might just be that R are playing their cards close to their chest and are waiting to reveal the customization stuff at the appropriate time. Maybe in Gameplay 2?

Anyone think there could be some survival elements in the snow? I believe story related for sure, but not when youre just freeroaming

Like resorting to cannibilism because you’re snowbound ?  Since Uncle was useless in life, his flesh can feed the gang in death.

It was a great RDR2 day

I always considered the fact that we can lose our hat and buy a new one as an indication of individual pieces of clothing, but I still would like some confirmation.

Well, GTAO also has complete outfits but you still can combine whatever pieces you want between them (with some restrictions).

I think they’re absolutely not done with this week. Giving info from Monday? But it might be because of the mags this week.

Yup, this is what i'm hoping for tbh.  I saw some people in here wanting to dress up Arthur like a wildman, completely naked wearing only his breeches and a full grown beard lmao Having the freedom to do so would be cool.

I wonder what kind of building will we be able to enter. Aside from the obvious barber, gunsmith etc.

I might misremembering but didn't they say you can enter every building/house or something like that?

Not every but they said you can enter more buildings than every R* game before

Some of the outfit descriptions in the pre-order bonuses detail each piece, so I think we’ll have separate item customization.  Imagine if hunting ties into this.  I’m making a gator skin jacket/boot combo.

R* must be holding a lot back from us. I think there is still a ton of stuff that we are still very unaware of. Think of it, who in the hell thought we’d see Bill Williamson without a beard?...

[Redhood979]

Idk if this has been discussed but maybe the reason they haven't confirmed new austin is bc at the beginning of the game will be the Blackwater robbery and the gang running away. So we prob wont see any part of the rdr map until halfway or even closer to the end of the game. So keeping new austin a secret would blow our minds when we play the game.

Yeah, the gang never went down to New Austin (at least not with John). Seems like so far they are focusing on the gang before any major tensions amongst them. That might explain the lack of New Austin so far.

I know I shouldn’t share this news with you here but I had to because I’m feeling so sad and depressed atm... 

 

One of my friends is a big RDR fan and a R* fan in general just passed away, he was always checking the fourms but unfortunately didn’t register an account here. We played the first RDR to for hours upon hours together, he always notifies me about the news and we discuss them together. 

 

I just got the news that he committed sucide from a relative of his because of depression apparently... He never told me he had depression or anything, I do not know what to do... So I thought I share it with you guys here because I have been on the fourms for about 2 years and you are like brothers and sisters to me. 

 

I hope he rides into the sunset knowing full well that I loved him and will always cherish my memories with him.

 

RIP Ben. 

 

 

Depression is never an easy thing, we don't even know people have it. And those who do have it, never tell. It's always tragic and I'm terribly sorry to hear about your friend. Losing a life is never easy, but stay strong. Focus on the positives. Keep his memory alive.  

 

Just know, there is never any shame in crying, if you feel you will.

 

Washington Irving once said 'There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love.' And I believe that a quote to live by.

GtaV is sitting pretty at 71GB on my PS4 so this is a safe assumption. This game is gonna be huge.

Dutches bag is 20gb already, so it’s hard to tell how much in total.

80-120.. minimum

[Starboy]

I think we've waited so long that everything feels so surreal. It's been 23 months since the game has been announced.

Sorry, I’m sure this has been asked, but do we expect more information from Rockstar throughout the week? Still holding out hope for a gameplay?

No, it doesn't. I think it's hugely to the fact that we've dreamt of having this moment for so long now. 8 years worth of dreaming is being boiled down to 38 days. Unreal.

Yeah, I remember when we were still guessing the name (which I still don't like, btw)... Good times.
