Just waiting for Mr Postman to drop this through the letter-box, can't wait to play this on the PS PRO...

Short note after this evening's session - I feel it looks pretty marvellous on a standard PS4, so no concerns for people who don't have a Pro.
Once I'd got to Horseshoe overlook, I went into town - Valentine - and went through the first bar brawl. Afterwards I was trying to leave town and suddenly I was chased by the law for no reason that I could see. I died trying to escape and got stuck with a bounty I can't pay off yet. It seems odd that I could die and still have the bounty. Leaving town again I got held up by some Irish dudes, shot one and had to run away again, so a rough day for Arthur. Will have to figure out how to solve the bounty problem...
I'd also like to know how to store things on my horse - the game hasn't been too obvious in informing me as it has with everything else.

AFAIK you can store animal carcases, skins, and people on the back of your horse, everything else you can just carry with you.
While we're trading tips can anyone tell me how to wash my filthy face? I'm a dirty feller.
Here's a bit of gameplay from a couple missions, mostly in first person. I like the first person view(also is this an ImmSim now? discuss). If you do the stealth bits in first person it feels kinda like Thief 2014. Which, y'know, might be a pro or a con.

Have you tried taking a bath at the Hotel? I saw the option come up when renting a room.
I've started disabling the radar because I was looking at it too much. On missions the characters will suggest where to go - it actually happened on that mission in your clip where you take the ladies into town. You press down on the d-pad to check the hud.
@froghawk - does make me think the internal management processes are quite broken and people's enthusiasm is being shamelessly exploited. And the positive feelings within the teams is exploited where people don't want to let each other down. Considering how much money the company makes it's quite shameful. Hire more people, hire actually competent managers who aren't glorified slave drivers?

Not to defend Rockstar, because I think these practices are quite heinous and it seems that the top management at Rockstar is fully complicit in it, but I think it's less this one company whose processes are broken and more the industry as a whole. Based on pretty much everything I've read and heard about crunch culture in AAA game development, this is sadly not unusual. I assume it's more prevalent in the United States, seeing how employers don't really get much protection from such practices, as the hallowed free market solves all problems, amen.

I spent a good couple hours this morning just riding around looking for blackberries so I could make some hunting bait. Then my horse, Standard, got hit by a train. Dismayed I picked up the saddle and trudged over to the nearest train station, waited till nightfall for a train that just ended up rolling right past without stopping. What a day.

Clearly, trains are the root cause of all ills. I'm assuming you finally just called an Uber?

Luckily a horse I could use came by shortly thereafter. I mean, sure, there
was this guy on the horse, but he, uh, look, don't worry about it. It's my horse now.

Ooooh, I'm a fan of disabling minimaps in games like these, but I hadn't looked into the options for that yet. Will definitely turn it off. :)
