i really need to play this when it comes out

This game is quite amazing. I also definitely have no bias on this matter.....BUY IT!

But seriously, the game is pretty awesome. There is so much to do and honestly you can end up playing for hours and not actually progress the main storyline due to all the side adventures and choices you can make. I've been enjoying it quite a lot since it came out and I suggest that anyone who enjoys GTA or western themed things to buy/rent this game immediately 

Absolutely love it.  I am getting pissed off at people witnessing my bad deeds...then someone witnesses me kidnapping the witness to drop them over the edge of a cliff.  Yes yes, I know I can intimidate them into not witnessing things but hogtied and thrown over a cliff is so much more fun!

Is there any chance of a PC version?

I'm guessing it will go Xbox/Playstation > Online for Xbox/Playstation > PC

So give it a year.

Hmm I did not even Play RDR 1... :-O Maybe I should look into that some time.

Lot of hype on social media for this. Can anyone explain to me the draw?

Well it was a highly anticipated game since the last one was like 7 years ago and so far it's living up to the hype

Seriously tempted to buy this game. Treated myself to the new FIFA recently. Should have held off and bought this instead as short of cash with Xmas approaching. Might have to make the funds stretch for this, or ask the wife to buy it as a present :) Been looking for a game with a good player 1 mode, played Witcher III the wild Hunt and loved that so hope this is similar. 

It's definitely worth the buy.

I tried the first, but couldn't get to grips with it. I travelled for about 20mins then died and got returned, I'm not sure what I did wrong.

Short answer it's Grand Theft Horse.
