Red Dead RedemptionFollow

Has anyone seen this game, yet? I stumbled across a guy talking about it on a different forum site, and it looks like it's going to be awesome. I'm not a huge fanatic of the old western times, but I do enjoy some western type movies, every-so-often. It's made by Rockstar, and will have the open world game play, just like all of the newer GTAs.

Here is a link to the main trailer that got me interested in it. I highly recommend you watching the "Introduction", and the "Weapons and Death" videos. It seems like the physics system is going to be pretty sick.

o.O wow the graphics look insanely good.

I really hope not.

I pre-ordered my copy the other day. It gives you a suit that prolongs your slowed bullet time.

I ran across a video on the online multiplayer, here. I'm super excited about this game now that I know it's going to have strong online gameplay.

If it were being made by any other company than Rockstar I would be more interested. RDR looks to be a heavily combat oriented game and the one thing Rockstar is absolutely terrible at is combat. I couldn't even finish playing GTA4 because the combat controls were so clunky and uncooperative.

I'm pretty impressed. The horse controls were a bit rough at first, but I'm fine with them now. My only current issue is shooting from a vehicle. I pretty much have to use my Dead Eye meter up in order to hit things.

The voice acting is pretty damned good, and there are a ton of things to do. From what I understand, the main story is around 20 hours, but I have a feeling I will take much longer to do it. I'm currently working on the outfit challenges for the bonus outfit from the GameStop preorder.

PS3. Since I don't have a 360, I don't know how the two versions compare.

Well, I beat the game, yesterday. I'm now 81.9% through the whole thing.

Here are my opinions on the game:

I think that the pre-order outfit is a bunch of BS. The bounty is bugged, so I never get the guy I need for the outfit. I've spent about 8 hours just trying to get that done.

The campaign is awesome. Although, the end of the game is a little strange. And, if you don't look around really hard, you might not ever see the end credits. I just skipped them, anyways. It's the typical rockstar game. You have a ton of side things you can do, which gives it a lot of replay value.

I'm currently trying to get the tenth rank of the sharpshooter challenge, it's pretty tough. Also, the ninth treasure map is hard to find, too.

The online is pretty decent, surprisingly. The free roam online is a lot of fun. I think it would be more fun if I got a group of friends on, and formed a posse, though. The game types are pretty fun, too. Although, people that play gold rush tend to camp instead of actually trying to score the gold. I don't know why, you can't win off of kills.

I'm really impressed with this game, and I'm really enjoying it. I think it's better on PS3, because xbox is having a lot of online difficulty(kind of backwards, but that's what I'm hearing).

I think that bounty hunt was my 3rd or 4th bounty in Armadillo, so I had it pretty easy.

As for shooting from a horse while riding, I can do it alright with the targeting set on Normal, but on Expert (where there's no assistance), I still have some trouble. Although, it is also effective to just shoot out their mounts anyway.

Yeah... I did half of the game on Normal before I found you could change it in the Config. It isn't as if it makes the game that much more difficult anyway.
