It also makes it worse that jac... er... john has a tendency to insult it while skining it.ForgottenPr0digy said:

Me: "Was that really called for?"
10-15 hours of game play is no where near enough, especially for a Rockstar game. I was very disappointed by how short it was because I loved the game, the story-line was brilliant. And duh Yahtzee, when does Rockstar ever make a game that isn't just another take on GTA? They may have just named Canis-Canim-Edit or Bully which is now the idiot's term for it 'Grand Theft Bicycle'. See, I can be just as funny a cynic.
I love the people who watch a ZP review and base their purchase decision off that. If I didn't play any games Yahtzee didn't like, I wouldn't have a fifth of the games in my library.

hahaha Yahtzee gives a good argument like a good critic should
but people who live and die off what he says is just a very funny thing to think about Yes, well I've never played RDR. Huge fan of GTA3, loved Vice City and San Andreas, and eagerly awaited GTA4. Yet when it came around I was so sick of cops and robbers, organised crime and the rest of the GTA framework that I didn't play GTA4 for more than 6 hours. I like the idea of RDR, but have a terrible suspicion that its just cops and robbers in cowboy hats and chaps. We'll see.
Funny review. I never had any problem with the engine or with the controls. Maybe I haven't been spoiled by games though. The only controls complaint I have is that, yeah, tapping 'x' to sprint was an annoyance, but a mild one.
I like how he snuck in that it was beautifully written and beautifully atmospheric. It was ^_^

i wonder how yathzee feels about the new dlc coming for red dead redemption feturing the zombies and i wonder if he figured out u could take off the auto aiming
ps if anyone mentioned the auto aiming before forget the last part

Ok, obviously these videos are just for fun, but he's way off on this one - his first problem being that he played the PS3 version...
-You can toggle auto-aim
-You can quick travel, which kind of defeats the point since the world is so gorgeous.
-The physics (euphoria) is the best part of the game.
-Yeah, you have to tap A (or X) to run, but when your gun is out, which it should be during a firefight, you run automatically, ass.
-And the controls are fine. I can't remember a time playing RDR (GTAIV) when I felt out of control or hindered by the controls at all.
By the way, I enjoyed the ninja cougars/bears/boars. They made the wilderness tense.

To be fair, you don't have to push a button to run with a weapon draw. But it doesn't stay drawn except in undead night mare :\
1. If the traveling is so long fast travel, if you don't want to because it breaks immersion then deal with it. Getting places takes time when you have that big world you like.
2. Complaining about auto aim when you can turn it off? Seriously?
3. Insulting the Euphoria engine when it's one of the most impressive physics engines in the business? I don't get how one can complain about a feature that gives you the joy of shooting a guy on his horse who then falls and gets his foot caught in the stirrup.
4. Spending 4-5 min bitching about a game( including 2 things you can easily fix and 1 that deserves no complaints) is bad enough. However the fact you spend the last 20 seconds giving the game praise is what pisses me off more. It's like if I commented on your video saying, "Hey you Limey ************ all you do is ***** like a smug asshole who thinks he's so smart when he's actually a stupid twat" and then followed with "but I did have a good laugh or 2". It just doesn't work.
5. I did laugh at the mountain lion part though.

One thing I had a huge problem with was the old timey duels.
It forces you to use all six of your shots, which just always made John Marston look like a superhuman retard. Why not just one shot? It looks cooler, and it's fun to shoot your opponents in the nuts
Oh, and the gun always puts itself away, which is lame for when your trying to clear a house.
