Anyone Recommend Red Dead Redemption?

I have been really psyched since I saw the ad's for this game. It pretty much seems like GTA, but with horses and looks pretty wicked. Can anyone recommend this game? Anyone have anything both good and bad to say?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

It somehow managed to be better than the first. So, yes, you should buy it because it's awesome and it makes you want a pair of snakeskin boots, a revolver and and have your eyes shut to a squint by the hot desert suns beating down on your face.

I hated the game at first, the characters were annoying, the "Cool" ones have no character or anything funny to say, especially the main character.
It's not until I hit mexico that I really started to enjoy it. Hearing Marston trying to speak spanish or the mexican people just insult him is just plain funny.
But yeah, if you're a die hard GTA fan then there's no going wrong here.

Although I ran into a barrel of glitches. The game froze around 4 times, I got hit by . . . something. Horses can be retarded, I killed someone with a lasso, the duels are screwy, tutorials are kinda shit, and a numerous of other things. It's the goddamn most glitchy game I've played this Gen. But nothing that would keep you away for good I think.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I think the game is awesome.

I've been playing it for hours upon hours already, spending/wasting time just hunting/skinning animals. The storyline is okay, even if it's a bit predictable at times. I would highly, highly, highly recommend this game for purchase.

It's good for a western style game, yet if I prefer playing GTA IV for the more present stuff. Yet RDR is incredibly awesome and a-must-buy.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

It's been said, but this is a game which I would rate somewhere in the mid-high to high range. The gameplay as a whole is pretty fluid, except for the fact that your horse sometimes performs undesired activities such as: Jumping fences at weird angles, sometimes causing you to fall off cliffs, rearing when you hit the 'brake' button, sometimes causing you to be killed by whatever people/creatures might be attacking you, and some other minor inconveniences(sp?).

Overall, the storyline is more or less linear, but there are a good deal of side missions and free roaming activities to keep even the most ADD-ridden of us entertained.

B+.

I was highly disgusted with it through. It just seem to try to hard, it felt like i was playing no country for old men or something, the control scheme needed some real work and a lot of the sexual content needed to be left out. I don't recommend it, unless you like GTA/Rockstar games.

The question is: is this more like a Fallout 3 or more like a GTA4? I had assumed that it was more like the latter, but from the little quips I hear from people around me at work, it seems to be more like Fallout. If that's the case, I'm a hell of a lot more interested in it.

Fallout? Have the people you work with ever PLAYED fallout? Because this is not even remotely like Fallout. At all.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Well, they say that when you ride your horse, you'll come across random people who need help, or a location in distress which opens up a new course of action. Maybe I'm just flush from replaying Fallout 3, but I made the immediate association.

GTA4, which I also replayed recently, or tried to, at any rate seemed to play with a more obvious path to take, and a lot less of an exploration-feel. The streets of Liberty City, detailed though they might have been, were something to be traversed as quickly as possible to get to the destination clearly marked on the map.

Maybe I was being hopeful, thinking RDR was a little bit more exploratory.

Definitely recommend this game. I've gotten my money's worth out of the game already, but I still have barely yet to scratch a lot of the single player activities(I've played it mostly multi with some friends from work).

Very entertaining and worth a purchase in my books.

The randomly riding around usually leads to quick ten second missions, moreso than new time consuming stuff.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Pity. If it's like GTA that means it'll probably be ten dollars pretty quickly. Maybe I'll just hold off and try it out then.

Don't expect anything different out of RDR. Same concept, same execution, same basic interface as GTA. Did you actually expect something different from Rockstar? They make good games but damn all if they aren't all the same.

I'm gonna have to lower my grade for this game to a C. I was a bit biased in my first rating due to the fact that I had been playing it for the previous 2 days.

That being said, this game is not further from Fallout 3. That game is 100x the game that RDR is supposed to be.

FELIPE NO
