Red Dead Redemption

[Dyne]

I don't usually do this, but I really want this game on launch day. The trailers are really well done and the game looks fun as hell.

Here's the latest video:

Seriously. Open-world Wild West? I'm sold.

[Combine 017]

Yeah it looks really fun, im going to be skinning me some snakes.
I wonder how the multiplayer will be, cause it would be sweet to rob a bank with a couple of friends.

Yeah I already pre-ordered it just to rob banks.

[magus113]

Never played Red Dead Revolver but I'm seeing good things from this game. Not too sure about getting. God damn backlog

[Typhoid]

This is the first I've heard of or seen this game, and holy hell I want it so badly.
This looks like one of the best things ever.

Thats what im talkin about.

[TheSlyMoogle]

Holy shit. WE CAN FORM A POSSE!

[Dylflon]

I suppose I'll be getting this for the 360 then.


POSSE!!!!

[Combine 017]

Looks like you will need to get Gold again too. I think I have a 48 hour trial lying around somewhere, its not much but it would be good for a weekend or something.

I'll buy a year of gold or whatever. I still think it's silly that they charge for it though...

[Fox 6]

This is looking pretty cool, gonna pick it up.

[Angrist]

But think of all the poor housewives who had to miss their overworking husbands for this game. :(

Looks cool, but I won't get it. :)

I'm sensitive to the plight of housewives and all but they don't enable me to go online with friends and shoot people.

I'm on the game's side.

[TheSlyMoogle]

This game looks fucking awesome.

[v1zzy]

sweet game, I've played a bit of the first one.

[TheSlyMoogle]

Oh shit boys. 5 days until we'll be skinning deer and forming posses. YEEEE HAWWWW!

Assless Chaps GO!

[v1zzy]

you guys going to buy this for the PS3? or 360

[TheSlyMoogle]

Uhm for all those new guys who want to join in our gaming session the majority of us only have 360s, and those of us who have both generally get the 360 versions because we're on live all day.

[Swan]

Don't know if going to be gettting this right away.

Probably not. Wait until I get into new place and have internets set up

[Fox 6]

Tuesday is the day!

[v1zzy]

I'm excited, I wish I still had my 360 though...Oh well maybe when I graduate

[TheSlyMoogle]

7 short hours until I get this game. 7 Short, agonizing hours.

Got 9.7 on IGN.

[Typhoid]

Got 9.7 on IGN.

Grand Theft Auto got 10/10 from IGN.

So basically they lost 0.3 by removing cars and adding horses.

Swimming is not an option, as the protagonist John Marston cannot swim and will drown if the player ventures too far into a body of water

Beautiful. So they also reverted to previous years in GTA when the main complaint was you can't swim.

Its the west, its a desert. There are only isolated spots of water. who cares about swimming?

Plus i felt GTAIV was a bit overrated.

Plus the multiplayer is going to blow gta out of the water.

Actually I saw a scene with a car in the video review. Must have been the first one ever made. :p

Automobiles had been around in one from or another for a very long time. Steam powered cars were very popular in the 1800s. RDR takes place just before world war one in the 1900s

[Combine 017]

Oh, I thought it was way earlier than that. Thats cool then.

[Soviet Stinger]

Oh hello there gentlemen.

I see you're talking about this game right here

This game I have preordered right here.

This game I'm leaving to get in twenty minutes right here.

Best hit up this soviet for y'alls posse.

[Fox 6]

im gonna be getting this tomorrow after im done at work, should be good fun.

[Typhoid]

Adam, the game's set in 1911, for the record.

I also plan on getting this tomorrow after physio.
I might change my mind last minute though.
Let's see how it goes.

[Dylflon]

I didn't realize the west was wild for that long.

[Typhoid]

I didn't realize the west was wild for that long.

I told you it was the 1900's, you nancy.

Mr. "Ooooh, in the 1900's they weren't riding horses and hijacking wagons."

[BreakABone]

I feel like the only person not getting this tomorrow now. :lol: (Or later today at this point)

[Combine 017]

I didn't realize the west was wild for that long.

Ya me either.

I didnt really know all that much about the wild west in general though.

[TheSlyMoogle]

Uhm this game is beautiful.

It's also really funny.

My main problem is the control scheme seems a little bleh.

The layout is the main problem, and it's a little clunky.

Also the very first cutscene talks about cars.

[v1zzy]

I might just buy this tomorrow I have school till 10pm today =[

[Combine 017]

I think I could spend all day just hunting things.

[Typhoid]

Hopefully they're not sold out. :ohreilly:

[Dylflon]

I told you it was the 1900's, you nancy.

Mr. "Ooooh, in the 1900's they weren't riding horses and hijacking wagons."

Yes, drive the stake home after I've conceded that I know little on the subject.



Well played.

It was just a longer "I told you so".


I just bought this game.
Goodbye moon.

[Dylflon]

I will probably also get it.

Posse time?

[Bond]

I almost got this today. Might tomorrow.

[Fox 6]

Ahh haven't tried the MP yet. Figured I would tonight though with you guys unless it's too bad to play.

[v1zzy]

whoever is getting this for the ps3 add me =D

[TheSlyMoogle]

They fixed the multiplayer today

[Typhoid]

What was wrong with it?

[Fox 6]

What was wrong with it?

just connection issues.

[Dylflon]

Got this game on PS3, no chance to play it yet.

[Dyne]

Man this game is awesome. I've only played two one-hour chunks, but I love it already.

Perfect NIS cinematography. Top notch.

[Fox 6]

This game is awesome. Combine and I got into the fort with Canons and Gatling guns and held of attacks from other players. Then we hijacked a wagon and terrorized the populace.


:D

And that's why we bought this game. Because it's baller.

[Combine 017]

Well where were you John? You could have joined in on the awesome!

[Bond]

Might get this game later today...

[Typhoid]

I haven't played online yet, as I lack a wireless router and am too lazy to get one.
But the single player is amazing.
I played the game all day yesterday, and I'm only about 25% through.

[Bond]

I got it. Pretty fun so far.

[Typhoid]

I was bounty hunting, and I got this guy who was a $400 reward alive, so as I was riding back to the jail, his goons ran up behind my horse and deliberately shot him in the head.

Sunuvabitch.

The online is like an entire game by itself.

It's amazing.

[The Duggler]

I haven't had a game experience that good in a long time. Can't put it down!

I was blown away when I got to Mexico with that song playing louder than usual while I was riding. I can't describe it very well, but it was one of the best gaming moment of my life!

Someone knows the artist/name of that song by the way?

[Dylflon]

Having fun with this game so far, though not very far in yet.

[Fox 6]

The best game to play with your posse is to throw knives at each others horses.

[Swan]

Tried this at Combines place last night. Online is fun, espescially when you get a posse and just hunt one random person.


Take that raptor jesus

Fucking threw a knife into my horse's eye you dick. I just stole that horse too.

[DarkMaster]

Where can a dude find a lasso?

[Fox 6]

Where can a dude find a lasso?

In single or multi?

[Typhoid]

Where can a dude find a lasso?

It's storyline for single.
Do a few quests for Bonnie.

[DarkMaster]

sweet thanks

[BreakABone]

Sadly, the game has been sitting in my house since Wedn, and I've been no where near it. Seems like Mario Galaxy 2 won't be here until Tues so will get to test this game out sometime 2morrow. Maybe join for some online

[Fox 6]

[Jason1]

This game will probably be my next purchase, after I finish Galaxy 2. Looks amazing and everyone talking about it has gotten me excited.

[Seth]

I love westerns. Was raised on westerns. I want this game but I'd need a console first. F

Anyone know if there's plans for a PC release?

[Fox 6]

me, combine and earl found the best thing. Dynamite/ fire bottle/ throwing knife free-for-all battles in the middle of grizzly bear area.

[Fox 6]

So there is also going to be a short film made from the game. It will be on at midnight on may 29th on fox.

Just beat it. The game doesnt end where you think it would. Just remember, it isnt over until the credits run ;)

[Fox 6]

Patch coming out, and the free co-op pack has been dated.

Good, there are a few bugs that need fixing.

[Angrist]

[Typhoid]

I just beat the game today.

Some things about various parts of the game:

When you beat Dutch and are going back to your wife, and the song "Compass" slowly starts playing as you're riding your horse, I got chills. It was really powerful.

The very end when he gets shot a million times I was shocked. I didn't expect that to happen, and that also hit me hard. I've never been so attached to a video game or a video game character, and when that happened I felt so upset over it. Thinking about how he's used the entire game to kill these outlaws, and only is doing it so he can have a normal life for his family - and then he ends up getting killed and is entirely expendable, and his last X-amount of days [the entire game] is basically pointless aside from the fact he's trying to be with his son.

Listening to the song "Bury me on the lone prarie" (the one that plays when John dies) I get so sad. Such a powerful song.

I also enjoyed the "Strange Man" quests, because he was essentially the devil.

I just wish I could still play as John, because he's by far one of the best characters ever created.

Powerful ending.
Powerful game.

[Angrist]

So does he speak Dutch too?

[Combine 017]

Ive been currently unable to play the single player of Red Dead as it will not load. I dont know why it wont load but its pretty annoying. This happened a little while ago too and to fix it I had to delete my multiplayer data, which meant I had to start with an idiot donkey all over again.

[manasecret]

Got it. Played a little last night. Sweet.

Outlaws till the end, the free co-op DLC came out today. We should try to play it later tonight.

[TheSlyMoogle]

Guyz, I forgot to mention my 360 finally died. I'm waiting for the slim, and that's the major reason I haven't been online in like forever. Also my roommate is the cause of my 360 death, and I'm mighty angry old west style.

Getting a slim when I can find one.

[Fox 6]

Looks great, and really fun.

Am I your friend on the PSN Network Typhoid?

If not, my PSN ID is: Stljason1

Jason, you're not - no.
Honestly, I don't even have an account yet.
I'm too lazy to buy a router, but I'm slowly working on it.
I'll randomly add you one day, so the second you get a "Who the..." thought, it's probably going to be me.

[Dyne]

Just beat this, plus secret ending. Great game. Totally worth it.

I'm more excited about jumping into Transformers multiplayer than for this game, but I still need to find my month XBL card.

[Typhoid]

There is no "secret ending", there is the actual ending. ;)

[Acebot44]

Roomie got this through Gamefly on thursday, finished it a few minutes ago, very fun albeit pretty easy.

I understand that multi is where the bang is at, but am sending it back before getting a chance to hit that up. Oh well, till the next addition to the franchise.
