What happens if you do not collect your Smyths pre-order?

Like do they just leave it or do you still get charged if you do not pick it up?

from their website re 'pre-orders' :

2.No payment will be taken from you for your order until it is dispatched (home delivery orders) or collected (click & collect orders).

Two days and then it's cancelled. You're charged the day before you're due to pick it up.

Oh right. Do they refund you then when you never show up?

Varik · 22-10-2018 4:04pm

Not a real spoiler but some want to be fresh and this is just from the video above.

The fact that it wasn't just "wanted" and you get shot but they started by interrogating is just insane, really wish I could see how else that would play out.

Yeah they do. But it can take upto five working days I believe so it could spill into the week of the 5th of November.

There was a list around the time that the latest FIFA and / or CoD was out, and it was a substantial number of stores so I'd say some small ones will (certainly local ones in Sligo like Grange and Ballisodare had it).

Aha, here's store list for FIFA: https://supervalu.ie/offers/fifa-2019

here's the RDR list

If there is a Day 1 patch you will

If you go digital "day one" patches tend to be pre-loaded most of the time.

You install from the discs (2). Will likely take over an hour on PS4 (using Spiderman for comparison), no idea about xbox.

There will be a small day 1 patch available for download. You can skip it if you want, it's just bug fixes. Unless you're in a mad rush I would download it, it's just a few gigs.

Zero-Cool · 22-10-2018 4:44pm

I believe once you put the disc in and the game is installing, the day one patch will start downloading as well so it might be done by the time the game is actually installed.

Yep absolutely right. Forgot about that myself!

Hey all,

I got excited when i heard this was coming out, but I'm not a young guy with a lot of free time anymore (kids, work and mortgages getting in the way) so I'm wondering now if its worth me getting this? Probably looking at 4-8hrs game play a week.

I read/hear things about it taking a life time to complete and having to feed/shave yourself, and groom/bond with your horse etc... all sounds very tamagotchi like.

I just want a cool cowboy game to pick up and play! So, I've renewed my xbox live, now I'm wondering, should I actually get this game?

Absolutely

Even if you get 5 hours a week, it'll last you 10+ weeks. Great value!

Any idea if review copies have been sent out pre release and if we should get reviews prior to friday (not that it will change my mind or anything)

the review embargo will be released October 25th at 4:01 am Pacific. Thats like 10pm UK time Thursday night!!

Sad Professor · 22-10-2018 6:40pm

A lot of stores in the US are selling it from 9pm on Thursday. I wish they’d do that here. Given that will take 1-2 hours to install the bloody thing it, it’s not like anyone would be playing before midnight anyway.

It would actually be midday, or high noon

PST is -8 hours from us.

I presume everyone is buying a selection of whiskeys to enhance the immersion?

Anyone having some on the rocks can go straight to hell. Any coffee consumed from the 26th onwards has to stay black too. Only real men should get to experience this.

I've almost finished knitting my poncho.

Jebus, a real cowboy wouldn't be knitting his own poncho. He'd just ride into town and take the one he likes the best.

I don't think you are ready for the game

One or two pages back in this thread is a list.

biggebruv · 22-10-2018 8:45pm

Does anyone know does this take 2hours to install once you start the app on ps4 ? I think I might wake up around 12 start the game and go back to bed that way when I get home from work on Friday I don’t have to look at all that crap like gtav because that was so annoying back then lol
