Wed May 12, 2010 7:37 am

Never been a big fan of western games, but this looks hot.

Red Dead Revolver wasn't that great, but the trailer TNT's been showing of this one looks great. I'll rent this. (Y)

i planned on buying the game til i read the reviews. after reading about everything you can do i was sold. then again i usually buy most of the "open world" games anyway

If this is open world game, yeah, it looks pretty crazy. Playing Call of Juarez series, I actually thought open western world concept would be great.

Now... only if PC version is to be released...

Did you buy the GTA:Episodes?

Re: Who's Buying Red Dead Redemption?

i actually did not. love the gta world just didnt have time for them and when i did something else i wanted was out. having 3 kids really cuts into game time

If you can, I recommend you pick it up, just for the chance to use the new weapons.

Riding in formation with your biker buddies is pretty sweet too.

It's a great family game too.

alot of people already have the game and have been streaming videos which keep getting taken down. game looks really good though some of the people i watched look like they never played a game before

9.7 by IGN, and a 95 on Metacritic... if only a PC version came out...

This game has great graphics and gameplay mechanics. However, the first few missions that essentially have you working as a farm hand, have been pretty boring. Perhaps it will improve, but so far I just haven't gotten into it.

Plus, you can't swim for some reason.

Re: Who's Buying Red Dead Redemption?

the lack of swimming sucks but overall i have enjoyed the game. the missions so far have been nothing amazing like lamrock said but i have a shit load of fun with the lasso. hogtie someone and lay them down in front of a train. this game makes me realize just how addicted to poker i am. i have spent more time playing poker than playing the game. the five finger thing is like free money so i stopped playing it. cant figure out the horseshoes at all so i dont really do that.

the wildlife is a bit annoying at times. i was off looking for red sage flowers and i kept getting attacked by wolves. over and over again more wolves. bastards killed my horse. that horse owned and now i got a shitty one. actually i am on my 4th shitty one thanks to them damn wolves

Yeah, it kinda sucks that you can't even have your head under water. I was trying to sneak into Mexico and yeah... it was a fail to state the obvious.

There's a mission where you're protecting a train... reminded me a lot of San Andreas and the "all you had to do was follow the damn train CJ" mission. Took me a few attempts but I managed to get it done luckily.

Kathryn sneakily bought this for me (better be for me) without me knowing but with my account for $40. Hopefully it gets here before the move.

I take it the game is good?

Re: Who's Buying Red Dead Redemption?

i like the game. then again i like running over people with horses and sticking a knife in a whores belly

I wish I was in elementary school so I could write one of those "Hero" Reports on you.


I'm going to have a lot of fun with this game

Re: Who's Buying Red Dead Redemption?

I hope it will also be released in pc cuz damn the graphics looks good and gameplay is pretty fun as hell

Re: Who's Buying Red Dead Redemption?

Tue May 25, 2010 10:10 pm

i would love this game with a keyboard/mouse

Re: Who's Buying Red Dead Redemption?

Finished this today. Not sure how I feel about the ending. It was pretty cool but also ultimately disappointing because I'd spent 40 hours playing with John and didn't want to use his Bieber-voiced son

Fucking awesome game. Nothing better than to hogtie someone, put them on the train tracks, and play Crazy Train while a train destroys him.
