The video games sites have been all a twitter about it for the past few months so, since it's coming out next week, who's going to be getting Red Dead Redemption? Here's the launch trailer

My cousin's crazy about it, telling me I should get it so we can saddle up and ride out as a posse, but I don't seem as eager to get it.

Red Dead Revolver on PS2 was awesome. There aren't many western themed games.

Johnny C · « **Reply #2 on:** 13 May 2010, 13:17 »

HELL YES

Storm Rider · « **Reply #3 on:** 13 May 2010, 13:26 »

I never played Red Dead Revolver, but the 'GTA with cowboys' descriptor most people have applied to this game makes it sound only slightly more appealing than an actual GTA game to me (read: not at all), and even then only because of the relative novelty of the setting. Money's kind of tight for me recently, so I'll probably give this a pass.

Tom · « **Reply #4 on:** 13 May 2010, 13:33 »

HELLS YES, I've pre-ordered my copy already but I'm trying not to play it until semester ends.

Scandanavian War Machine · « **Reply #5 on:** 13 May 2010, 14:11 »

already pre-ordered. getting it for 360, if anyone cares.

I feel like it could be fantastic, or disappointing. Luckily, I'm at a point in my life right now where I can afford to gamble on a new game and trade it in later if I don't like it.

hopefully, I don't like it too much though, because I'm also getting several other games this month and I mean, shit, there's only 24 hours ina day, game companies! WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME

The last wild west game I played was Gun, which was pretty good even though the wide open world was fucking boring. The funny thing is that it was actually pretty representative of how the wide open world was in those days, so I guess maybe it's just not the genre for me.

The story for this looks pretty neat, and in some places the graphics look great. But in others the graphics just look really really bad for some reason. Like, 5 years ago bad or something. It's puzzling!

jhocking · « **Reply #8 on:** 14 May 2010, 05:10 »

The horses look lovely. I haven't seen many games with such well done animals.

I preordered from Amazon, I really hope it gets here in a timely manner.

Blue Kitty · « **Reply #10 on:** 17 May 2010, 20:13 »

So far it's gotten some pretty good reviews.

Tom · « **Reply #11 on:** 18 May 2010, 01:13 »

SO FUCCIN STOKED

Boro_Bandito · « **Reply #12 on:** 18 May 2010, 17:25 »

Oh, my god. Bought it earlier, fucking amazed so far, need more time to organize my thoughts on it and give it a little more time for impressions.

Blue Kitty · « **Reply #13 on:** 19 May 2010, 15:14 »

Apparently there's some bug in the multiplayer that makes you, your house, or your gun invisible sometimes.

god this game is glorious.

haven't even touched the MP yet

Seriously though, I need to get in a sizeable posse to do some asswhoopin'. Wickedfall on Xbawxlive

Scandanavian War Machine · « **Reply #18 on:** 21 May 2010, 02:30 »

thanks for ganging up on me, johnny. jeez

yer lucky i didn't have an eight man posse on my side, ya yella coward.

on the plus side, i kept getting a shitload of XP for that Hideout you guys kept clearing, so I leveled up like four times

Johnny C · « **Reply #19 on:** 21 May 2010, 03:19 »

ahahaha that was you???

Johnny C · « **Reply #20 on:** 21 May 2010, 03:19 »

i got like three headshots on you in a row

Melodic · « **Reply #21 on:** 21 May 2010, 08:20 »

dang guys can we form a serious ponies posse

october1983 · « **Reply #22 on:** 21 May 2010, 09:42 »

Oh god this game has suddenly jumped to the top of my list for when I finally buy an Xbox360 (in September).

almost as good as clubbing you to death with my rifle butt

guys send me friend requests i want to teach you just how painful the repeater can be

Thomas Edison · « **Reply #26 on:** 22 May 2010, 15:41 »

I have just put it in my 360 for the first time. Let's see how this goes.

Blue Kitty · « **Reply #27 on:** 24 May 2010, 20:28 »

This game has the best glitches

Boro_Bandito · « **Reply #28 on:** 24 May 2010, 23:44 »

Oh god the cougar man! I haven't seen any of those glitches yet, its actually kind of a shame. But hey, as long as your game is gonna have graphical glitches they might as well be amusing.

Seriously though they need to take care of that online invisibility bullshit, It's annoying when you're dealing with an invisible sniper.

Storm Rider · « **Reply #29 on:** 25 May 2010, 00:26 »

This game is really earnin' that 95 Metacritic score.

Boro_Bandito · « **Reply #30 on:** 25 May 2010, 06:35 »

I especially like it when they start flapping their wings and the little *poof* of feathers when they get shot. I'm thinking that these glitches must have been placeholders or something for the models that they ended up using (in most cases).

Buttfranklin · « **Reply #31 on:** 25 May 2010, 09:18 »

Have you guys lassoed up a lady, hogtied her and left her on the train tracks yet?

Exactly what you think would happen happens, and it's quite spectacular.

Boro_Bandito · « **Reply #32 on:** 25 May 2010, 09:46 »

I hadn't really thought to try that since I'm one of those lame people who always make their first playthrough the good guy one, but it sounds like a cool idea to try if I get bored and decide to do a rampage, just going on a killing spree and just not saving, which I've been doing for every GTA since 3 basically, great for parties if you know your weapons cheats.

Buttfranklin · « **Reply #33 on:** 25 May 2010, 09:59 »

Yeah, you can kill the lady robbers without any penalty to your honor or fame.

So you can kill them like a

but still be a

Boro_Bandito · « **Reply #34 on:** 25 May 2010, 10:01 »

Fair enough, though I suppose if I'm really impatient I could just find the nearest horse thief of any gender, I mean really, is it anything special if you make it a damsel in distress?

Scandanavian War Machine · « **Reply #35 on:** 25 May 2010, 10:20 »

meh just do it to the first lady you see

you only loose like 50 honor for it and you can get way more than that just wandering around for fifteen minutes.

Scandanavian War Machine · « **Reply #36 on:** 25 May 2010, 10:24 »

oh fuck i just now realized what the bandana does.

all this time I thought it didn't work because I kept getting bounties, even after taking it off. But I never noticed that it didn't hurt my honor when it normally would have. huh

Boro_Bandito · « **Reply #37 on:** 25 May 2010, 10:30 »

Wait, the bandanna affects your honor? I mean I have it in my inventory, I just never saw an explanation for what it does so I never use it. If it keeps me from losin' dat honor then why the hell not?

Melodic · « **Reply #38 on:** 25 May 2010, 10:58 »

Bandanna negates any fame or honor changes. Great for when you want to be a twat.

important: you don't lose honour if you do it to the prostitute who acts as a decoy for gang members to assault you

no, he's just Canadian; your Norwegian posts haven't shown up for him yet because of the time difference.

i clicked "new posts" and it took me past yours for some reason???

Blue Kitty · « **Reply #43 on:** 26 May 2010, 12:05 »

I finally join a game with someone and all they did was shoot me in the head.

Buttfranklin · « **Reply #44 on:** 26 May 2010, 12:33 »

I tried the online and I formed up a posse and took down same gang hideouts. Pretty fun!

And then I did some TEAM DEATHMATCH where I got second place. The Bolt Action Rifle is pretty nasty!

was it me? are you something Sentry..or something?

my mic wasn't working and i was showing the MP to a friend who had come over, so...sorry!

Melodic · « **Reply #46 on:** 26 May 2010, 15:19 »

I like taking over Armadillo and threatening wildly at anyone who comes near.

Scandanavian War Machine · « **Reply #47 on:** 26 May 2010, 15:34 »

A really easy way to get the bounty/wanted challenges done in MP is to hide behind the counter in Armadillo's general store.

you can easily watch both entrances and everyone shows up on your map anyway, so you're basically untouchable, sort of.

FIXDIX · « **Reply #48 on:** 26 May 2010, 15:41 »

Dynamite is usually a good way to end that sort of nonsense.

A real man would take my Evans Repeater to the head.

And like it.

But seriously, I am loving MP. Although I had my first ever encounter with a bunch of homophobic teen racists a few days ago. Sure I knew they existed but I had never come across any since the only multiplayer game I play is L4D/2, so I guess when the concept of the game is team work you naturally come across non-asshole players.

Blue Kitty · « **Reply #49 on:** 26 May 2010, 15:44 »

It seems the more people there are on a map the more likely some will ride around gunning other people down.

It's cool SCW, I made no mention that it was me.
