I really need to get back to this game. Starcrtaft 2 beta has been taking too much of my time

Talking about facial expressions, i love (major spoilers)
Can't find that cutscene on youtube though.
the subtle facial expressions that Abigail does in the cutscene where John read the telegram from Bonnie, at the end.
The acting is great.
Mission's name is: "Old friends, new problems"

Finally got to
, and man, the Act II ending missions were spectacular. Some of the most fun shootouts in a Rockstar game EVER. I still haven't even done anything in the North yet except for challenges, and Stranger tasks, but fighting off the insane number of Cougars while looking for the American Standardbred was keeping me busy for like an hour. This game is great.

I love the Colt m1911. It's badass. It sounds so mean when you fire it. Same goes with the semi-auto shotgun.
Good job sound designers.

There should have been more missions with Landon Ricketts. I liked that guy.

Online, when it's the gun draw shootout showdown whatever they call it, how do I play? I lost because I hit the wrong button, what do I have to do?

What, seriously? Just aim and shoot. Sometimes you live, sometimes you get shot.

I always shoot women that are on the side of the road, asking for help.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
I didn't know until fairly late in the game that some of the women asking for help on the side of the road weren't luring me into a four man ambush...
I bought the map that is supposed to show all gang hideouts and everything in heinnigans steed. I open my satchel and used the map, and then got a popup saying I've discovered all areas.
But when I open my map, nothing new is on it. Only area names (like pikes basin). Is there something else special you have to do?

oh, wow! the view from the top of the canyon on the way to Armadillo for the first time gave me the same "HOLY FUCKING SHIT" feeling from when I first played Kameo and then Gears of War (and to a lesser degree, Uncharted 2).
that's when I stopped playing my friend's copy and decided that I need to buy this. Well, I might end up buying Alan Wake, completing it and then swapping it for this with him, but yeah, there's a big ol' gorgeous world out there that I was not expecting.

It bugs me that John takes lame errand quest like all the other GTA games. This guy has important things to do, yet he will retrieve a horse for special Ed? I don't see how this game is not a re-skinned GTA4. While the story and setting is more interesting, just about everything else does not break the mold. I'm only about 7 hours in, I hope it starts wowing me soon.

Am I the only one that thinks Landon Ricketts looks just like Liquid Ocelot?

In regards to atmosphere, I'd say this game has all other Rockstar products beat. There's nothing quite like riding across the great plains on grey day where omnious clouds seem to swallow the whole sky or seeing the sun set behind the red and dusty rocks of Mehico. It's "holy fucking shit" throughout the entire game in that sense, yeah.
BruteUA said:
That's good. Deadly Assassin is made fairly moot by the Legend of the West doubling the Dead Eye anyway.

If the horses around her are perfectly fine, I always blast her in the head. I don't even kill the bandits anymore, just her.
DeadGzuz said:
RDR broke out of that crap in my eyes, I HATED that in GTA4. In here there's pretty much always a reason for him to do something, I'm not sure what you mean by the horse retrieval though. For Bonnie? On top of basically being tutorial missions, he is indebted to her for saving him.
Papercuts said:
No, some duffus asks for his love to be returned and it is a horse. I wanted to shoot him and the horse. I also got sent to tell a guy not to cheat on his wife, lol, that is worse than GTA4 where at least he got paid. It's stupid petty crap that does not fit with the story or John's character.
DeadGzuz said:
Well then don't do the side missions. It's still a video game man, and side missions are there to add variety and give the player more stuff to do. Several of them wind up meshing with the story mode pretty good too.
I loved them but honestly not once did I ever feel that I was doing something out of character.

In my opinion, all of the extraneous side missions ended poorly, and I always felt like they were a waste of my time when completed. There would be one or two which had me thinking "Well, maybe this one will end on a nice note, that would be a pleasant break from all the bleakness so far." But no, they were almost always twisted/creepy/perverted LCD stuff, which Rockstar has a history of confusing with mature storytelling. At a certain point you will guess how each of them will end, and there's one or two in particular that I guessed the ending to before I even started. The main storyline missions, while formulaic and cliche at times, are much better. Even the random ambient events were much better, to me.

I tend to agree. Unlike you, I am enjoying these missions, if only because they are mostly a break from the main missions from a design point of view, but they are rather predictable and a depressing story != a mature story.
Subtlety is not something Rockstar does well.

:lol things will only go downhill for you in Mexico, where the missions and characters are a notch below those in the first part of the game. I'm actually planning on ignoring the freeroam aspects at the moment and taking some time to burn through the Mexico missions, just so I can get them over with and get out of there.

I like the setting and the atmosphere. I also didn't mind it the first few missions, but I thought it started to drag on a bit where I wanted to get the section over with. One too many missions seemed to be clumped in here where I thought they could of distributed it a bit more evenly in New Austin and Blackwater.
It seemed like I was only in the first part for like an hour or two, then Mexico for an eternity. Still a minor quip for a fantastic game.

Marshall Johnson is probably my favourite character in the entire game. The voice acting, animation and persona of the man oozes cinematography.

Stupid Shaky's Ground mission is so glitchy. I get on the wagon and the horses just start doing the moon walk and going nowhere.

After some time with the game, the general consensus is that the single-player is great, multiplayer not so much...

I logged into MP today, dropped me right outside of Escalera in public free roam. It was about noon, and I could hear gun shots coming from the town. An armadillo scurried across the road, I called my horse and a crow swooped over my head and made some impressive noise. I look on the map and there is only one other player, the one shooting over in Escalera. I pull out the sniper to catch a peek but it's mostly just dust in the wind and horses running about, their owners lying on the ground. So I sauntered over to the other player, we both looked at each other and he came over to my horse. I reared back, shot some wolves that jumped out at us, and then we proceeded to shoot up the town together. Did not join a posse, did not shoot each other. After a few shootouts with the law we split in two different directions.
This was just the first 10 minutes.

Definitely liked Mexico better than the first section, outside of the Marshall and Bonnie, all the characters were stock Rockstar annoying wacky characters.
