RED DEAD REDEMPTION

[EVIL ASH]

Anyone play this yet? I quickly looked for other post and didn't se any. Back to the subject. Anyone check this out yet?

I'm usually a wait-until-clearance game buyer, but I bought it on Tuesday. Haven't even had a chance to open the case yet due to packing and work. The reviews make it sound like it's fantastic though.

it sounds like grand theft auto, but in the old west to me, which is GREAT! i will get it from gamefly later on when the price comes down and all the dlc has already droopped

[Gus Hound]

Cracked it open last night and played for about 3 hours. So far I really like it. Graphics are spectacular, and the game play is fun. In the beginning there are a lot of video scenes you have to watch, but I guess they move the story along. Got to kill a bunch of rabbits and coyotes to learn how to shoot. Finally got to take out some outlaws too. Very fun so far.

I was concerned it would be like Assassin's Creed. For some reason, I just can't get into that game.

Yeah its pretty much GTA 4 but in the wild wild west. I thought it would be like Gun but to me Gun felt more like the western version of True Crime. It is pretty cool so far, I havent played it too much either due to work but its a keeper!!

[EVIL ASH]

I actually liked Gun. It looks like the graphics and gameplay are much better than GTA. Now I just wait until my son can entertain himself without destroying himself or something in the house. Maybe by then It will be less money.

I just beat gun not too long ago. Great game!

[EVIL ASH]

I just beat my gun not too long ago. It was Great !

Thought it was broken

[RollaJedi]

nope, just shootin blanks!

[Darth Skywalker]

Yeah Gun was alot of fun, it was the first game I played on the 360 and beat. I remember working at Gamestop at the 360 launch and people kept saying it was GTA of the Old West but it was no Red Dead Revolver....I wonder what happened to the planned sequel

[EVIL ASH]

I didn't enjoy red dead revolver. Gamestop employee folk are nerds.

There is some kind of Red Dead Redemption special that is airing on Fox this Saturday. sounds like they basically made a 30 minute commercial using cut scenes and models from the game. I'm going to be moving, so I won't catch it. I'd be worried about spoilers anyway.

So, any tutoring on the dead eye would help. I like the first stage. The evolved stages kinda suck. By the time I start shooting the fuckers are behind cover.

[Gus Hound]

I haven't had any problems, but perhaps I'm still at the first stage.

[EVIL ASH]

Stage 3 Dead Eye achieved. It is much better than the 2nd stage. They actually give a tutorial on this stage, I guess I missed or skipped the other tutorial. This stage kicks ass!!

[Gus Hound]

Finished the Single Player story this morning. What happens at the end was quite a shock, but thankfully sets it up for a nice sequel. Good storytelling.

Now I just need to ride around the countryside and complete some of the minor tasks I didn't complete yet.

[RollaJedi]

i'd love to play this, but i'm scared to look at the MP achievements.

[MVader]

thankfully wasnt a lot of MP achievements, but is an awesome game none the less, one of the best games so far this year

[Gus Hound]

I do nothing but get my ass kicked on Multi-player. Almost won a Gold Rush game.....once.

Is there much point to the game after the main story is finished?

You can still go around and try to level up on the Sharpshooter, Hunter, Gatherer, and Treasure challenges (assuming you didn't get to Level 10 before the end of the game). I've got 1 more Sharpshooter, 4 more Hunter (can't find another damn cougar to knife), 2 more Treasures, and 1 more Gatherer.

There are also a few Rockstar Social Challenges that are kind of fun.

[EVIL ASH]

Wait till you get to knife the bear.

[Jedi Jester]

...can't find another damn cougar to knife...

Check out some hotel bars. That's where I find mine.
