Damn tired as fuck but shit this game is unlike anything I've ever played. Feels like GTA but with more weight...for lack of a better term. I spent like an hour just shooting critters and skinning and was entertained. I did the first couple
missions and saw some other people but didn't shoot them as it felt more real somehow then any GTA has. Hard to explain and damn I wish I didn't have to go to work today.

Just curious, so I know whether I can play it in front of my mother. Haha.

what?!?! That's the only way it should be handled. You shouldn't have to dump people off your list just to add them for RDR. Now you can add anyone you want and see when they are online with the game and there is no limit to worry about.magicaltrevor said:

So I got the game at the midnight launch last night, PS3 version.
Played all of 10minutes of Single player then we all jumped right into MP.
Voice chat is perfect. Join a posse to talk to your buds no matter were they are, push down on Dpad to talk to whole server, also has proximity chat so if your next to someone he can hear you.
Heres a quick write up on what Ive seen in Mutiplayer for the PS3. Im not sure on how to invite since I was invited to the game from my buddy.
Your spawned into the free roam map, from there your open game to any one around. Your best option is to have your buddies and yourself all "Posse up" and watch each others back. Mind you dyin in free roam doesnt mean anything, you resawn in the area or next to other posse members 3-5 seconds later.
The whole map has scathered crap to do with your posse be it deathmatch, Co-op type stuff etc,, To top that off scattered all over the map is little mini missions. Like there is a bunch of forts and areas with NPC's you can fight.
One had us invade and conquer a fort he other had us fight are way into the canyon and plant explosives on ammo crates. These seem to respawn minutes later and can be replayed, so you can invade that fort a bunch of times with out joining a new server, just leave the area for a minute or 2 and do it again.
Seems to you can find new weapons while in Muti-Roam, you keep them on yourself even if you die. If you leave the server your made to use your basic loadout, which can be enhanced with unlocks through leveling.
You also unlock tons of Skins as well as mounts you can push up on Dpad to summon, even if your horse dies you just push up and whistle and twin comes running in (Best option to escape Free roam spawn area were people will camp)
You also have unlocking titles too which is pretty cool.
If you do some illgal crap, the "Lawmen" will hunt you down and kill you, and there pretty strong...everything is strong to a degree lol.
World is SO big.
In most games when you got to an edge of a cliff and saw miles of scenery beyond it you knew it wasn accesible, in RDR all those areas are just a mountain pass away. You can sit on the edge of a canyon and see other players 1-1/2 miles away and take some pop shots at them, its insane just incredible how big the worold is.
You see an NPC stagecoach charging by and can attempt to hijack it, only to have to fight off stagecoah men as the go 100mphs and fire big ass guns, attack it/steal it, prepare to be wanted and hunted!
The world is piled high with animal life, which most of the time you want to kill so many of to fullfill rewards. Some of the first are "Kill 5 birds" and even "Pick 6 ferns" etc... Even rolling so may times will nab you some easy xp and fullfill a reward.
Competitive mutiplayer is from I played was basic Deathmatch and capture the flag (Bag) I didnt play all the modes. Maps I played were pretty decent size towns/villas, beautiful and cool with tons of rooms/stairs/doors/cover. Each match starts first with a Team vs. Team standoff duel.
Only bad time I had was when me and my 2 buddies posse'd upand decided to attack people in the server. We came across two guys trying the Canyon mission in FreeRoam. We rode in and atacked them as there were riding along the canyon floor, then we rode in and finished them off.....then they respawned right on the edge of the canyon...and we killed them again...then they respawned again...and again...etc...
Basically the spawn system had them constantly respawn right at the edge of the canyon, right in front of us. Even when one of them killed one of us, we just respawned moments later right were they were spawning.
Basically we all eneded up spawn camping or spawn fighting over and over again...50+ kills later we had to call a truce.
Thats all I know so far, I gotta play more but it was late.

What the hell are you talking about?
I'm pretty disappointed in the game so far. The whole experience has become TOO streamlined... Often in a way to sacrifice freedom and immersion. I can't say I find that too surprising considering the complaints gaf had with GTAIV. Multiplayer options are limited in favor of a voting randomized playlist (unless I'm missing something and you can still customize your private games?) and the player physics and controls have been made unrealistically snappy and fast... Often resulting in jarring player animation and glitches... which contrasts greatly with the fantastic euphoria stuff. In fact, a lot of the animation seems to be much less polished than it was in gtaiv... What a shame.
Need to play more to get over these disappointments and explore the rest of the game...

Anyone know if you should bother buying new weapons? I assume enemies will drop upgrades.

Anybody find in mutiplayer a delay in poping out of crouch to fire at a person and a delay to hot swap weapons.
I thought it was pretty cool and slowed the game down so you have to be incredibly sneaky. You cant just pop out of cover and pop-pop-pop...you pop out of cover and it takes a second before you can fire a shot, same with weapons, dont expect to shoot the shotty then swithc to the pistol real fast for the finish.
Mutiplayer seems like you have to play it slow and methodical, a bit of camping. Running and shooting your gun will expose you on the enemy map thus inviting people to come get you.

Maybe upgrades was the wrong word, better weapons than what you currently have.

Speaking of that, what is the ammo spread for the guns? Meaning, do all these pistols and guns use similar ammo or is it different for each or is it done by gun type (revolver, pistol etc).Gravijah said:

I disagree, as it isn't cross-game.
So disappointing...
But you also referred to dumping players from your list... Doesn't the in-game friendslist use the data from the XMB's friendslist?

Are you talking about friend invites or Game invites because it think we are talking about different things. About the other point, some games do, some don't I hope it doesn't use the XMB list because there tons of people on my list who won't play this and I don't need to see them all listed. I would rather have a separate list I can add anyone to that doesn't effect my main list.magicaltrevor said:

Impressed so far... but the multiplayer is again underdocumented. I managed to rustle up a .45 auto and try to skip town on my burro, but some dude in a sombrero with a Winchester shot me dead with a single bullet from horseback.
To sum up:
Me: Mountie getup, pistol, burro.
He: Pancho Villa costume, long-range repeating rifle, fast horse.
Me: Dead. :lol
Do you just keep shooting people and joining posses and playing and magically you become a Mexican gangster?

Tried my hand on some sharpshooting challenge earlier
The challenge where you shoot the hats of 2 people at once.
Tried it on a couple of farmers on a wagon that drove by, unfortunately they also got a hole in the head but fortunately there weren't any witnesses around.
I got a bit of guilt but also laughed as I rode away

Is there auto-lock in the multiplayer? If so that's pretty lame. At first I thought the multiplayer seemed pretty cool, in theory anyway. It kinda looks like it's just something you may mess with for a few days and then you're done with it. Single player still looks amazing though.
