AYE, people who currently have the game, can you switch shoulders when aiming ala Uncharted 2, Metal Gear Solid 4, last gen Splinter Cells, etc.?

The gun sound and audio effects in this game is amazing. I love that shit too. The music is really great too and I'm not even one of those into the Westerns.
I think this game has my favorite sound quality next to bad company 2. This beats Killzone 2 and Uncharted 2 because there is more variation in the different sound effects.

And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
I'm about an hour in and it's been an invertible experience so far.
And I never knew kickin' chickens could be this much fun! I'm just wondering about the hunting aspect, is there a good categorizing system for what you've killed? I just see very basic categories in the stats menu.

Played for about 2 hours.. 1 hour MP 1 hour SP.
SP:
- Slow start. Game babies you (race is mission #3) with a few tutorial'ish missions but I still really enjoyed them.
- Gameplay mechanics are very similiar to GTA4 HOWEVER controls feel much more refined and shooting is far more satisfying. I felt like GTA4 controls turned to shit overnight; these feel pretty good.
MP:
- Free roam seems neat; not sure how to start missions up however and rival posses are already high level.
- Really enjoyed the standoff team mode; capture the flag - not so much.
Overall, had a great time - can't wait to dive back in tomorrow.

Anyone having issues trying to sign into the social club from the game menu?
It keeps telling me "an error occurred while connecting to Social Club servers. Please check back later."

Was going to try to finish Alan Wake first, but could not resist what was meant to be a half hour with RDR before bed.
Ended up playing for an hour and a half instead. Damn. :lol
Game is good. Better than I'd hoped, even. Controls feel a lot more natural than they did in GTA4. Horse is more fun than car. Like the supporting characters so far, too. Love looting dead bodies, especially when they've got something really good. I can see this game eating up so much of my time for a while.

I also had trouble, but eventually I tried entering the code with dashes and it works. Try that?

For ANYONE that is into the soundtrack, you should check out the group "Friends of Dean Martinez". Two of the guys from that group, Bill Elm and Woody Jackson, are responsible for the awesome (or what I know will be awesome, haven't heard it yet) soundtrack. Seriously, check these dudes out. Their shit is solid.

DLed the soundtrack. The GS LE code worked. Fucking awesome. "Redemption In Dub" tells you everything you need to know about how radly it links the classic western style to modern bangingness.

I'll wait till tomorrow and join the rest of GAF PS3 posse, playing a little more SP for now.
Disappointing to me because it means that there's a real piece of content getting locked out of everybody elses versions. *frown*

Are the stats pretty similar in scope to the ones in GTA IV?

Holy shit seriously, I would honestly recommend anyone who didn't buy this at GameStop to turn around and return it while you still have the chance.
The soundtrack is THAT. GOOD.

This is pretty much completely baseless on my part but I thought I recalled reading that most/all of the preorder bonuses are obtainable in game anyway. I just though for something like the gamestop suit you get the missions to obtain it right from the start, when normally you don't get it until later.
But I wouldn't say that as a fact, just would just make the most sense to me.

Jeepers, for reals, I've played through five Wipeouts and this is my favorite game soundtrack ever. Already. It's like Chavez, DJ Shadow, and the band in the Deadwood Season 2 finale got into a fist fight at a sleepover.
I LOVE IT.
I LOVE IT.

Changing costumes is pretty weird and confusing. I don't know what the fuck to do. Where do I get my soundtrack? Where do I get my 2 special outfits? I only entered the 1 code for the outfit and soundtrack.

Also, it's still early but I have to say, as usual, when it comes to cutscenes, ROckstar are the BEST IN THE BIZ.
Just some great, subtle, fantastic shit.

You need to find pieces to actually unlock the suit. Special code/challenges just unlock the mission for the most part. Soundtrack instructions are at:

All codes for in game stuff are entered at the pause menu.

Yup. Has info for GTAIV and Gay Tony.Teknoman said:
let me pose a question: i have a love/hate relationship w/ sandbox games atm. if i kind of hated GTAIV, will i find something to love in this game? i really enjoy westerns, so the aesthetic is there for me, but i'm wondering if the gameplay will be compelling still?
also, which is better: the ps3 or 360 one?
