This will be my next game after RDR2. I'm also gonna be loading up Witcher 3 and doing a bit more exploration to uncover some more of the question marks on the map (though my save is over 200 hours I think, so not sure there is a lot left to do); which should act as a nice accompaniment.

Thanks, one of my devices (my personal mobile) is compatible and I was able to kick off the install from the browser, although strangely it still doesn't show in the Play store on that device. In any case, it's installed now, cheers.

Any impressions about the rumoured 'exploration' style mode? It was mentioned that if you turn the HUD/compass off there is different NPC dialogue with more descriptive instructions about where to go for quests. Also, anyone know when the Android companion app will be released?

Yeah, it guess so. Maybe something beyond just the play anywhere titles? Maybe I'm tired and interpretted the article.

Huh? It's already available on PC. I'm playing Forza Horizon 4 through the service

Plumped for 2x £35 PSN topups (for £61.78 at cdkeys) to pay for this; which makes the digital price a bit more palatable. I know I've spent a bit more up front than the digital price anyway (a couple of quid), but I have a tenner to put towards another game so it's not too bad.

Does anyone know if this has controller support?

I got an Audi R8 in my second spin, not sure if that was particularly lucky or just part of the tutorial mode.

Was just having a scan of the review snippets in the era thread, and most reviewers seem to think the story and side quests are a lot stronger this time around. Tempting.

Got this downloading on PC now. I just had to change my Windows region to NZ; no VPN needed.

Ah I'm on PC, so although the browser session can be switched to NZ my PC is still UK.

I can't get this to work. I can choose to 'stay in NZ' and then choose to install on my device, but the download fails during the 'acquiring license' phase, then states that it'll try again later. You don't have to have a NZ VPN running in Windows do you? EDIT: Ah I'm on PC, so although the browser session can be switched to NZ my PC is still UK.

Yes, the DLC expansions are a must.

Far Cry 5 seemed decent. I remember going through hoops trying to get HDR working with Mass Affect Andromeda; but it was easy with AC: Origins and Far Cry 5. Hopefully the tide has turned now and more games will have decent support.
