Poll: Red Dead Redemption - Thoughts?

[AMMO Kid]

So far I find it to be one of the best games ever! It take the very boring GTA4 engine and fixes lots of the bugs, and has solid multiplayer and a great moral choice system. What are you favorite things about the game so far?

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagghhh!

Firstly, GTA4 was not remotely boring. Sales and fans scream otherwise. I know you meant the engine but thats my perception of your question.

I got the game today and the more I played the more I loved it. Especially the multiplayer. I just need more friends to get it.

And by Yes! I mean, it should be here within a day... or two.

It looks awesome in it's entirety, can't wait.

There is a group if you need some fellow Escapists to play with.

Once I get my copy, and trudge through single player for several hours, I'll give multiplayer a stab or shot.

As I said before, I'm really worried about RDR for me. Personally, after a while, I absolutely hated GTA4 and I'm worried RDR will fall down the same path. I'll most likely mooch off my friend and borrow it from him just to be on the safe side.

What? It's out?

Not in Ireland though right?

After defending a fort with cannons against the Mexican Army for about an hour or two, I gotta say it's some of the most fun I've had playing multiplayer on the 360.

I love the single player,I just wish the multiplayer would work for me.

As a fan of the old Gamecube game GUN, I feel I need to finally play a cowboy game made by a team with their shit already together.

The game brings intrigue to me as well. I enjoyed Red Dead Revolver and without a doubt Red Dead Redemption seems up my alley. At the same time though, I still have quite a few things to ***** about.

1. Greatest open world game of all time? Get fucking real.

2. Me? Hunting animals? Pssh. Fuck that. The day I shoot a Wolf or a Coyote - even in a game - is the day I stop shooting bandits with a shotgun whilst saying 'I got a shotgun!' I'll just hug 'em instead. In regards to this one I just hope the Wolf isn't programmed stupidly like in Oblivion where they unrealistically follow you throughout Cyrodil.

Multiplayer's fun, as long as it's a private session with friends only. Playing it with randoms is just irritating and frustrating especially since most people I've run in with would prefer to just kill you, wait for you to respawn then kill you again.

And if you run, they'll continuiously chase you down, kill you and etc etc etc.

So, no, not enjoyable whatsoever when people care more about killing everyone else than doing the multiplayer challenges and other features. e_e;

However, I quite enjoyed myself when playing with a friend of mine in a private session. Now THAT was fun.

I got my preordered copy today!

...but my Xbox is dead now.

 

[Siuki]

Although I want it to death, I feel like I won't do it justice because I haven't heard/followed it through until launch like I did Borderlands. But justice is blind, so I'll be picking up Red Dead around June.

Red Ring's a bummer. Took out an entire summer for me once. I wasn't into PC gaming at the time, so the only thing I had left was the... Wii.

 

[noctifyre]

I enjoy Borderlands far more than RDR. <_<;

 

[Americow]

This game added everything that I wanted in GTA4. And hunting. My multiplayer wasn't working though, which I found sort of strange.

High five! I feel that the open world for Red Dead'll be much more fun to explore in than Borderlands'. I still love Borderlands though. Enough that I'll play it every now and then.

so far its really cool altho some of the terms they use is starting to get on my nerves, like sniper, it just sounds really out of place in a western game and so does calling law the police
