Cool. I'll buy it as a birthday present.
I got it for my son on PS4 but I'm hopeless in first person games with a controller
No, now go away or I shall taunt you a second time!

I'm assuming the PC version will support the mouse and keyboard?

It's not an exclusive, just an earlier release on Epic. Steam version in December. I can wait until then, or longer. I'd still rather have the first one on pc, but at least this will be new to me.

It comes first on rockstar store, then on epic, then on the other key sellers like green man gaming etc, if you pre order before october 22, you get pre order bonus, that includes two games (that everyone who cared about them already have on steam) and premium edition bonus (whatever that is) plus some gold for online and 20% voucher to upgrade to the other two versions (what ? ) it comes on steam on december, however the way its worded it seems steam will not be part of the pre order (so you will miss all the bonuses). that is a big F.U to steam. its on purpose to leverage against steam that their sales are not enough to warrant the 30% cut they take no doubt. i really hope it sells more on steam just to blow epic, they clearly paid rockstar for that one month exclusivity against steam that has a bigger base for rockstar games than their own app.

So this is worth playing?
It would be IF its not a typically sloppy port job, however I'm not overly confident of that being the case. all rockstars games on pc were bad ports with the exception of max payne3, but that one wasnt a port, but built in tandem.

It never occurred to me that a PC game could be controller-only. Any games like this? So whilst I have no info about this with RDR2, I m working under the assumption that of course it will have KB&M.
I have a X Box controller hooked up which I use with PES 2020 and Elite Dangerous (for the exploration modules), so I could always give it a try. You can get used to anything with enough repetition. But games where I am using one stick to control movement and another stick to control view usually don't end well for me.

Yeah I played a lot of GTA 5 and used a controller for the driving or flying, and KB & M when on foot.

I have GTA V on PC,i played it 1st on PS3 then PS4..The PC version blows them away,IMO it certainly isn't a bad port.

About PC game that is controller only, saints row 2, dark souls and dark souls 2,any capcom port from xbox 360. sure you could play with the mouse, and struggle to do anything with it,and that is not taking into the acounts the games that the menu assume you are using a controller like the injustice series,assassin creed up until unity. i kid you not, if you hit shift and i think it was B, injustice just reset the characters in the screen, like in your face in the middle of a match. .

I want to buy it just so i can play m/kb but the online side of it got stale too quickly (ps4) and was a super grind fest to get to the good horses and top tier guns etc. If you like single player stories with great characters in an open world and fantastic scenery the game is amazing in that aspect. You can lose hours easily just hunting the legendary animals. Bear stalking is fun af but fishing online for an hour just to get money and level up gets old quick.
If someone mods the game for certain areas like slow down the day/night cycle and a Clint outfit i'd be hard pressed to not get sucked back in. Second all this. Open world games on console are my main timewaster these days (Witcher 3, RDR2, and now Assassin Creed Odyssey) ... great single player content reels me in. I'm also hopeless at using a controller and button mashing, but auto-aim is my friend I'm waiting for Team Fusion to release CloD 5 or Tobruk or whatever it will be called before I dive back into flight sims.

Nevermind. I just found out RDR 2 requires 150 gigabytes of hard drive space.
Nope.
That's ridiculous. Wow, 150 GB is monstrous even by today's standards for PC games.
