[Official] Red Dead Redemption

[Hedon]

Considering how people have been debating that the xbox version is better, and there is a high amount of xbox users, I would have thought the xbox version would have sold out first :blink:

This is because stores order smaller quantities of the PS3 version. My local Gamestop received 143 Xbox 360 versions on the first day shipment, and 27 PS3 versions.

the horse breaking as well? the ranch your told to goto in the costume description isnt bonnie's (its ridgewood farm, forgot the game came with a paper map)

[maash]

2 hours of playing this game, this is the best console game of this generation. This is the best game for me personally after half life 2

[Aaron Olive]

is it me or is the dueling sort of broken cause when i draw my gun and select the targets he won't shoot when i pull the trigger i just get killed... what am i doing wrong ? :no:

I went to go buy this at Argos, but half the stupid shop was closed!

The machines weren't working and the paying with cash at the desk was also closed, bloomin Argos.

So I went to Tesco and got Mass Effect 2, just have to wait a week till I can play it, I'll probably get RDR tomorrow or later next week.

[Spookie]

Man the MP is, frankly, broken.

Just spent the last 20 mins looking at loading screens because people are on shoddy ISPs. Every time you get dropped out of a match it loads in to quick roam. I'd like to go back to the menu thanks! :/

people actually play the mp? :rolleyes:

if the mp is anything like gta iv's, the only time i'll play it is just to see what it's like then that's it.

they actually did a pretty good job with it

[JJustice]

I played the mp for half an hour earlier and ill probably go back to it, it has alot more going for it than gta

[Smashoid]

Neither of my copies from Amazon or Zavvi arrived.:(, so just reserved a copy at Argos for ?34.99

Sadly my copy didn't arrive, postie has just been and he didn't have it with him :( ShopTo were only allowed to send them out yesterday due to an agreement with Rockstar apparently not to break street date :(

This always happens with me :(

Haha, I'll join the club.

Zavvi said they posted it Tuesday, however I suspect Wednesday. Should come tomorrow hopefully.

Back to Alan Wake for now I guess.

[jelli]

Anyone notice on the back of the PS3 version it states it runs at 720p? :p

Played the game for about 2 hours and just completed the mission involving the storm, really enjoying it. Think I meant spend a bit of time this evening doing some of the challenges like survival, sharpshooter, etc.

[+Mystic MVC]

I have to find a time to play this game! This week has been so busy that even though I have the game, I have had literally no time to play it yet. Who would have figured that when this and Alan Wake hit, I would have zero time to play them both. From skimming through a few pages, it seems this game will definitely be worth the wait. DL's post makes me want to play this game ASAP. :p

[Massiveterra]

The thing about multiplayer is that you need to play with friends to basically enjoy the free roam

[Pablo2008jedi]

Got my copy when I got back from the cinema this evening, basically about 5pm, just put it down :p

Loving it, although I got creamed in MP, but the singleplayer is great!

[Razorwing]

I think I'm done the SP... is there anything else after

John dies, Abigail dies.. then you become his son...

is there anything after that? I"m running around but there is like no story driven symbols on the map.

There is a stranger mission in blackwater where you can

track down and kill agent ross

Only then will the credits roll. ;)

The stranger mission is located by the government building (where you go to do missions for the agents) in blackwater in the gazebo in front of it

ah ok.. I had no idea.. lol.. there were no hints.. no nothing. Awesome game.. loved every part of it. It's better than GTA IV for sure.. (meanwhile I haven't even finished GTAIV) says a lot about the game :laugh:

[Waylander]

the random encounters could do with a bit more depth, i got into one where a woman ask for help and 4 guy jump you, so i killed them and hogtied her but then i couldnt really do anything with her, you should be able to turn them into a sheriff or something. i dumped her in my room in the first town, she is probably still there, maybe i should see how many tied up women i can pack into that room

[Razorwing]

lol I just got into MP.. and as I was reading the Guide thingy for MP .. I get shot. I got him with a headshot later on though. :laugh:

Yeah I had to google it, I was like no way does it end here.

[DirtyLarry Veteran]

Out of interest Larry you playing this on 360 or PS3?

360 ;)

As Massiveterra indicated, as he would know as he is indeed the friend that came through for me and let me borrow his extra copy, I am playing it on the 360 version.

And FTR it is a damn good thing he did come through for me, as go figures, this was possibly one of if not my most anticipated game I ever rented through Gamefly, and for the first time ever a game gets lost getting shipped to me from Gamefly, and sure enough it was Read Dead Redemption. I thought for sure it was going to be in my mailbox today, and much to my surprise it was not. So although I have already reported it missing to Gamefly, they said it cannot officially be reported missing until the 24th, as I have to give it a full week.

So thanks again for hooking it up massiveterra. (Y) :yes:

Ahhh yes, Ive only experienced that once, the safe house in the town at the start you buy for $50, went inside one time and the bar was empty.

Id be only 1 and a bit hours into the story missions and I would already say its better.

The scope of the game is simply astonishing and the scripting seems alot more evolving. Simply, R* have done it again, and that is blown me away with another AAA title.

DL's post makes me want to play this game ASAP. :p

So I have to say I definitely agree with Anarkii. Even just a few hours in I pretty much felt it was better, but I was able to play a good two hours today, probably gonna put in another hour right now, and it is definitely better than GTA. The story, characters, and flow are just better overall. The "side aspects" of the game are much more interesting, and it truly is a world that one gets immersed in.

And I have to say I really had my doubts. While I never disliked westerns, I was never really a huge fan either. I definitely dig some of the older Spaghetti Westerns, mainly the ones Clint Eastwood has done like "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly" is an all time classic to me, and I do also like the classic movie "The Magnificent 7," but with that said if you asked me how I felt about the Western genre overall, I would respond that I neither truly like it or dislike it, I was always mostly pretty neutral about it.

So I definitely had some reservations this entire time as I just questioned how immersed I could indeed get into the world itself. But I honestly am into it more than I have been into a GTA game, and as I said before I LOVED GTA games. And when it comes to describing video games, I really do not use the term loved all that much. It takes a whole lot for me to use such a strong word to describe a video game. But I truly do believe it is that good of a game.

I think this game will easily wind up going down as one of the all time classics of this generation, and it could very well go down as one of the classics of all time.

Off to play a little right now. I should be off to bed TBH, but this is how much I am into it.

[MrKuro]

This game is awesome.. graphics and animations are top notch!

I'm about 1/3 way in (just got into mexico), and loving every minute of it.

also.. I am wealthly as heck... about $13,000 of cash at the moment (no cheating, just got very very good at the Liar's Dice Game)

[ramsy66]

got to go look for this game today! i just hope more ps3 copies are delivered to stores today.

[DirtyLarry Veteran]

Anyone got any tips for horse shoes? I am absolutely terrible at it and just cannot figure it out. :blush:

Off to bed, I basically spent the last 90 minutes getting nothing at all accomplished story wise at all and just wasting my time on the side stuff, and loved every minute of it. :laugh:

My wife is gonna kill me tomorrow when she hears I stayed up until 3AM, but I am literally forcing myself to go to bed, as I want to keep playing. Truly a testament to how good of a game it actually is.

[jelli]

Has anyone encountered the random events you can stumble into? Here's a list of some that just amazed me.

I was outside the starting ranch riding around looking for animals to kill when I came across the corpse of a women, a man was on his knees next to her sobbing. He starts crying out and screaming, whimpers and then pulls a revolver out and shoots himself in the head. I was just amazed at coming across it, I still have no idea how she even died though based on previous events maybe it was a coyote attack or something.

Another thing happened when I was riding around out in the sticks somewhere when a man runs over a hill towards my horse as I was cantering along a road. He tells me his buddy is about to be hanged by some no good for nothings and unless I help he is going to die. So off I set at full pace over the hill to find this guy hanging from a tree with three men on horseback cheering, immediately I let rip with my repeater but unfortunately due to my fast pace I overshoot the area and turn back for a second assault. With all three dead I try and shoot the guy down from the tree (that's what they do in the movies at least :p) and either I missed or that's not what I was meant to do because that guy just stops struggling and starts to slowly turn and blow in the breeze. I felt kind of bad about this one :(

Astounding game so far.
