Ok, I just finished the game. Wow. I loved every second of it.
Warning: Endgame Spoilers!
I can't wait to give it another playthrough, but i may jump onto live for some free-roam first. Man... what a game.
Kudos Rockstar. Now, some single player DLC would be great thanks!

Hunting down the FBI cheif as Jack, and then the cut to the Red Dead Redemption screen fading to the endgame credits. Jeebus.

Game is getting a lot better after 4 hours, but it still doesn't have its hooks in me yet 
There is some intangible that just feels missing. By this point in Vice City, I would have had to force myself to stop playing.
Can't praise the visuals enough though. Goddamn. The environments are stunning.

Really? I'm a huge fan of the GTA series, but after the quality of RDR, I'm much more excited about another Red Dead than GTA. The setting was just so well realised.
The gameplay, missions and story feel better tied to the world in Red Dead than the GTA games. There was a HUGE divide between that stuff in IV. The raw nature of the Wild West just suits this style of game so much more. Besides, it allows for more 'gamey' stuff like treasure hunts, exploration and whatnot. I had more fun riding around the world in RDR than I ever had doing anything in GTA IV.
With that said, I'd love to see a re-release of IV with the updated RDR engine. No dithering and all.

I guess what Im saying is I havent had a "ripping down Ocean Beach at night on a PCJ-600 wth "Billie Jean" blaring out of my speakers" moment of clarity (yet) with RDR where I realize that the game has made me its bitch.
RDR has better visuals and gameplay and writing than any GTA game. This isnt even debatable. Thats why I said "intangible". There is just that x-factor that hasn't been turned on for me yet.

Yeah.. Heh, even my wife is impressed by the visuals, it's probably the first time I've seen her jaw drop over a game. Relatively speaking, in general it's probably my favorite looking game this generation (Though, as with GTAIV it needs a little of tweaking of TV and in-game brightness/contrast settings to look its best (360 version))

If a "RDR 2" happens, I hope it will be a completly different story and era of the Wild West . John's marston story is too 'strong' to pick up anything from it and it should be left to rest.
I'd love a game set during the Indian Wars, with the hero being a native
Lots of great and controversial story material.I'd love a Josey Wales type of thing in a sequel. That would be amazing. Getting vengeance for a murdered family would be awesome in the setting they have made. You could even set it earlier, and have some left over Civil War angst or something.Mojojo said:If a RDR2 happens i hope it will be a completly different story and era of the Wild West .

Is this supposed to happen?
WHAT
THE
FUCK?
I am doing the stranger quest for the old lady looking for a musician. I found the musician, brought back his wife to him, but when I came back he was sitting on a guy's lap (or more like, in between his legs). The guy had his hands on his thighs, and appeared to be whispering into his ear.
But then the quest wouldn't progress... I just put the wife down, and he would make random comments. There was no consequence for him being cradled and caressed by another man.. I shot the guy who was doing it, but the musician ran away.

Is there any option to just sleep? It's annoying to have to wait for it to save everytime I need to move time ahead.

just back out of the save, time moves forward as soon as you enter save mode no need to actually save.Zaraki_Kenpachi said:

A prequel playing as Landon Ricketts (sp?) would be awsome.
End game spoilers
Oh and another thing as Jack I got into random gunfight in the wilderness and he says, "I was trained by a gunsliger!" does that mean John? Or could it be someone else? Perhaps Landon again?

Finished this the other night and got 100%. My only real complaint with the game was that the story was weak in parts, but still pretty well ahead of Rockstar's usual efforts. If they could have strengthened that up a bit it would have been perfect. Instead it will just have to settle for "oh my god amazing, easily best game of the year and nothing will beat it."
I got Alan Wake the same day I got RDR and hadn't touched it until yesterday after RDR was completed, and I just couldn't get into it. It's a well made game and all, but just really boring and repetitive after RDR. I may just have to go back for some RDR mp instead of hitting up Alan Wake again.
They should just make a game where you are Sam Elliott. They could set it in any time period too since his mustache makes him immortal.
except maybe Fallout.

Ah. I've had quite a few of those moments. I really loved RDR.
I know it's a big call, but it's my favourite game of the current generation. Mass Effect 2 has been knocked down a notch.

I felt the exact same way all weekend.
Entering Mexico is one of the defining moments of this generation. Wouldn't be nearly as awesome in a movie. Good stuff, Rockstar.
Anyway, the moment it really clicked with me was when I rode down to the desert after Henningan's Stead for the first time. Seeing the huge area below got me thinking 'Nice skybox, would be cool if I could go there'. And then I found out you could.

The ending is different from what you'd expect from Rockstar game, or open world games in general. That's what I can say.
Also, it's not really the ending itself, but the part of the game before it that builds up to it.
That part was pure torture,

It says press B next to challenger to accept duel but it's not doing anything... The little B isn't coming up in the corner either.
Edit: And now he's not blue anymore. So weird.

The fuck, no buttons work now, I can't mount a horse, accept a duel or anything else like that. Nothing shows up and pressing it just in case does nothing also.
Edit: :lol I hit a man with my lasso who was attacking a woman and it killed him. This game is glitching like crazy all of a sudden.

Finally finished with Mexico and Nuevo Paraiso. I must say, for all the jerking around, it was a very awesome conclusion to that chapter.
Shame about Luisa. Although as humorous as Abraham not knowing what the hell her name is and the "lol marry a peasant girl notsureifserious" moment, I almost wish the two had a genuine love story. I know Rockstar loves to write humor, but RDR is one of the rare occasions where I don't want to see that much of it, if at all. Although that animated movie in the Armadillo schoolhouse is goddamned hilarious.
