Astor Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Of course the West is all about hacking across the plains on a pony, or steaming through on a train, but it is 1910, so it'd maybe be nice to see a car or two. Whether John Marston can drive it is another matter, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swphreak Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 I want this deck of cards, but I preordered off Amazon It's reported that they're going to be given away at midnight launches. Story on Kotaku. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leXX Posted May 13, 2010 Author Share Posted May 13, 2010 I was just listening to the latest Kotaku Talk Radio, and the developers confirmed that there will be Model T Ford's in the game, but you will only see them on the streets in a certain town, and you won't be able to drive them.

DarthParametric Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 The launch trailer is out - http://www.gametrailers.com/video/launch-trailer-red-dead/100155 Not long to go now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leXX Posted May 14, 2010 Author Share Posted May 14, 2010 ^ Yep, and it be packed full of awesome. (This BBCode requires its accompanying plugin to work properly.) I'm going to avoid the net altogether for the extra 3 days I have to wait to play it. These seperate US and Europe release dates really piss me off.

Astor Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Might just have been the fact I watched it with earphones, but that music was very loud - I could barely hear what the characters were saying. Looks even more awesome, though. These seperate US and Europe release dates really piss me off. Quite. I really don't understand them, especially when, as you say, it often discourages people from visiting fansites because of inevitable spoilers.

JediAthos Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 I picked up the game earlier today, and I have to say it is pretty damn awesome. I played for like four hours before I finally decided to give the ol' xbox a break Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swphreak Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I played two and a half hours earlier today before I had to go to class. My initial impressions: Gotta get used to horse and shooting controls I kinda wish horses had cruise control or something. It's a little difficult to shoot on the move. I need more fingers. The cover mechanic seems a bit clingy Is it possible to play poker in multiplayer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HK-42 Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Got it. Played it. Love it. I got to get use to some of the styles(3rd person) but so far its pretty good. It always takes me a few days to get use to a new rpg, like finding quests, minigames, etc. So so far I've stuck to a set of ranching side quests and though herding is a pain in the *** its been super fun breaking horses, herding cattle, protecting them from animals, etc. More tomorrow.

True_Avery Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Played probably over 10+ hours and so far its probably my favorite game of the year all around. The game definitely has a learning curve, but I managed to get over it within a few hours. The trick is to realize that the horse will follow roads by itself for a short time while you shoot. Spent most of my time hunting. Beats the hell out of most straight hunter games nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swphreak Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I was attacked by a pack of wolves and my horse died... I promptly proceeded to skin it and the dead wolves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urluckyday Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Here's the big question. I've got money to buy Mass Effect 2 OR Red Dead Redemption but not both...which one should I get? -I'm a sucker for good stories -I love sci-fi and westerns equally -I have played Mass Effect 1, but I have not played the prequel to RDR Knowing those things...what do you think would be the better buy?

I haven't played RDR yet as it isn't out over here until Friday, and I can't wait to play it, but I can tell you that Mass Effect 2 is one of the best gaming experiences I have ever had. I would definately recommend buying Mass Effect 2, and start saving for RDR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JediAthos Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I've decided that I'm not fond of the weapon wheel mechanic. I wish there was another way to switch weapons quickly. If there is and I've missed it someone please tell me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would definately recommend buying Mass Effect 2, and start saving for RDR. I'd second this. Since you've already played the first one, you might as well launch into the sequel. Perhaps while you're saving $$ for RDR you can also save some for its prequel and get them together later this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was expecting after all this time that the PS3 version would be superior. I guess they couldn't get their engine optimised any better if it is still running at 630/640p like GTA4.

mimartin Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Played RDR for 2 hours last night before falling a sleep from boredom. I really hope the game get better, less controled soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
