Alright, just sold some shitty games (FF something), ordered RDR and Galaxy.


Officially back on the Day 1 train!



Was there a point where you were not? You're this forum's number one Red Dead fan, right?

Game of the year, baby!

Or should I say:
gamadayear, gamadayear, gamadayear!!!!! :D

Can't wait to pick this up for my 360. The disc is going to hibernate there for a few years.

You know, as much as I've taken the piss out of people for getting hyped over this...

I'm sorry, after a proper hands on this game is quality! Really enjoying it so far. So much more engaging than the beginning of GTA IV. *generic bromance emotion here*

I won't say that it's impossible, but it's highly unlikely.

Most of that stuff about modded consoles/pirated games somehow being glitchier or buggier than legit ones falls into two categories:

1. Uninformed speculation that eventually becomes accepted (see: every schoolyard rumor about Pokemon/Mario/Mortal Kombat/etc. ever)

2. Misleading information intentionally created in an attempt to curb piracy (Kinda the same as "Don't masturbate or you'll go blind")

Not trying to defend piracy here or anything, far from it. Just trying to stop the spread of misinformation.

Ok...

Deadwood is only good for the fist season. Seasons 2 and 3 are nothing but a horrible disappointment.

Seriously, Deadwood probably has the most anti-climactic series ending EVER. Just watch season 1 and forget the other 2 even exists.

Bullshit, don't listen to this guy.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
So did the original PS2/Xbox game played like this as well ?

Will that be a worthy purchase along with this game ?

Number one Red Dead Revolver fan. :p

But yes, the purchase was obviously always just a matter of when, not if for me. It looked like RDR could've slipped into next month for me considering the amount of good games coming out this month and my limited gaming budget.


But I've got the preorder slip here, so the 21st it is. :D

No.

Yes.

Different genre (traditional mission based third person shooter instead of open world), different vibe (classic spaghetti western instead of serious Wild West atmosphere). Still, worth checking out to get in a proper Western mood!

I have great interest in having rotating avatars good sir. Could you point me in the right direction?

The man himself once pointed me to a nice little website called signavatar.com... Use it!

Vampire, when you started shooting aboard the train did the passengers run and try to get out?


Yeah

You can also climb onto the roof of the train while its moving, unlike in GTA4 where you would straight away fall off

Apologies for not reading the thread, and I'm not a fanboy of either console since I own both but are there any differences in versions that have been pointed out so far?

Nope.

Though give it by next wednesday and i'm sure the sites like B3D will have given the game a good look over.

Can we have peace if I say that the section where you played as
General Diego
was awesome?
How right you are!

And that's what I meant with the classic Spaghetti Western feeling. Directly ripping scenes out of the all-time greats and making them playable was a cheap brilliant idea and worked out well for the game. :p

I think I might go with the PS3 version myself, even though I have friends buying the 360 version to play with eachother... Can't afford all the bells and whistles for my 360 right now.

Any idea on how much extra content (time-wise) is actually included in the PS3 exclusive content?

[Solomon's Folly Gang Hideout +Walton Gang Outfit]

Just saw a 30 seconds advert for this during half time for the FA cup final here in Britain. Nice to see advertising for this ramp up big time. :D

30 minutes to an hour is my guess. Do gang hideouts get re-populated? I'd figure yes.

So you think Deadwood ended well? Or you liked that they basically took out the best character in the whole series for an entire season with a bladder infection? Or how they ramped up the Shakesperian dialogue to ridiculous proportions as the the show progressed?

Deadwood season 1 was incredible, but let's get real here. Seasons 2 was almost too boring to watch and season 3 had the possibility of being up there with season 1 until the last episode where everyone basically just walked away. They set up the whole season for an epic confrontation and NOTHING happened. It was the most ridiculous series ending ever (although Lost is seemingly quickly catching up on the title). And what was the point with the theater troupe? Just more nothing. Nothing on top of nothing.

Your guys posts are cracking me up. I refuse to watch a stream - just a few more days...

Usually I'm watching new game streams as soon as possible but this is one title where I also refuse to watch anything live. SC2 beta keeping me busy in the meantime :D
