rdr was epic in terms of wasting time. Speaking of which I got farcry 3 on friday, and spent a fair bit of time playing it over the weekend. And I haven't had so much fun with an open world game since rdr. I'm loving it.

I'm playing on ps3,and I haven't experienced any bugs or technical issues so far. More over I find the island to be pretty good in presentation and really dig the atmosphere thus far. I'm not or never have been too focused with graphics tho (but again, I think the game looks good) so I guess this is up to the individual.

I've played somewhere between 5 - 10 hours, and have barely touched the campaign missions, there is just a lot of shit to do. But so far I've liked the story, in fact the start is pretty excellent. The core villain in the game Vaas is pure win, a psycho nutjob.

But So far I have really enjoyed all the side shit... I especially like liberating outposts, (and if you have disabled the local radio tower you get a portion of the map detailing your surroundings) which opens up more shit to do (hunting missions, reward-bounty missions etc, supply drops, races etc). It's pretty sweet, you can take a camp down with stealth and patience, using takedowns and suppressed sniper. Or you can just go in guns blazin' (or you can get lucky and a tiger will come in and take out half the camp for you.).

Hunting is pretty sweet to. Wildlife is a big factor in this game. I find it pretty fun, and hunting has meaning as you can craft shit with the skins you collect; wallets, loot sacks (holding shit), ammo bag, gun sling etc... Obviously the better upgrades requiring more and difficult to kill animals. Speaking of which swimming is terrifying; I avoid the ocean at all costs, fucking sharks.. even rivers though, I quickly jumped in a small river to get to an opposite bank and a freakin croc came from nowhere.. you do have a camera/binoculars and if you tag any enemy or animal their location and whereabouts is always known which helps a lot with hunting and taking down the pirates.

so far im really like the game. most fun i've had in an open world since rdr.

well if you like it that's good for you i guess (:

it didnt run well on my system. directx 11 was looking like directx 9 and stuff like that. couldnt be bothered to tweak it. i read about the ingame mechanics and stuff, all the extra minigames they put in place there, but it didnt seem appealing to me. maybe in a couple of years it will

@ RDR
bro i love that game too. probably more than you and jefferson combined. bullet time in the wild west? someone must have created that game just to please me...if i started to ramble about how much this game speaks to me personally i would spend the next 30 minutes here...i just cut it short:

RDR is one of the best games ever created. It is in my ALL time top 10 for sure. every day i wish i could play it on my PC....i wish.....every day....just to be able to ride through the countryside for a few minutes.....*sigh*

you should try it, despite the graphical/technical flaws the game becomes pretty addictive quickly.

re rdr: only in top 10 :o

great game.

heres to rdr 2 in next gen !

I'm probably putting RDR on my Christmas list. I'm just about finished both Fallout 3 and New Vegas, and I'll need another game to fill the time. (I got Fable III with the box, but I don't really feel like playing it TBH.)

Probably also going to ask for Walking Dead, based on Dutchiee's recommendation.

im up to chapter 4. farcry has taken all my free time recently tho.

ps. how old are your rob? just curious?

24. Why?

always been curious tis all.

Why? Do I seem older or younger? ;p

I've been playing a lot of Skyward Sword as of late

Nike + Kinect

I admit, I was skeptical. I'm not after trying it. Holy .... um, yea. Apparently a video game workout can actually be pretty tough. And I ranked above average for age range on both levels. :) That may not be much, but I'll take it. lol

Just powered through the campaign of Halo 4. Not gonna lie, I wasn't terribly impressed. I've played a lot worse, but I've played a lot better, too.

I never understood what was so special about HALO. I've played the first one when it was brand new and that was okay really. Above average, but certainly below anything special. A rich dude had just bought an X-box back then and he brought it to a good friend of mine to play for weeks. We''ve played Co-op mode. I had to play with that MEGA fat controller, the other dude already had the "small" edition controller, but he wouldn't let me play with it....that bitch (: ...well, never got the Halo Hype...guess it is that science fiction, lasers & aliens spaceship, heavy bulletproof armor whackery that just didn't speak to me that much. ME 1 and 2 were aight thought, due to RPG elements and a really engaging story. Meh, science fiction


Currently playing GTA IV again and I am damn impressed by it. Astonished by how astonished I am by this game. I just NOW realized, some 4 years later, that I can change clothes to a CLAUDE SPEED outfit, GTA 3 old skool baby. That was unexpected, thus the more excited I was /am. Just driving down the freeway in my Infernus or Super GT is a blast! Radio turned up to the maximum, orange-drained skies in the back. AMAZING. Gonna play all weekend long.

re rdr: only in top 10 :o

No worries mate. It's in my ALL TIME top 10, meaning it will be in there forever (till I die) probably and even games yet to come in the future can't get it out of there. It is in good company amongst

- Max Payne I & III
- S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Call of Tschernobyl
- L.A. Noire
- GTA San Andreas
- Alan Wake
- Half Life II

and...some other games I can't think of right now.....I am still not good at making list. Never was never will be I guess. But yeah if I had all the games lined up I could think of, then RDR would still rank pretty high, as it was/is pure innovation to the genre and unmatched to this day. The wild west vibe has never been caught that magnificentally in a game.

Finally finished Skyward Sword, 1 year after I started

I think Red Dead Redemption is a perfect game. Followed up with perfect, albeit crazy, DLC.

Does anyone here have a 3DS? Post your friend codes if so, pretty pleeease.

Mine is 4957-2362-9845
