Red Dead Redemption

My friend HK Sweeney provided the voice for Mr. Irish in that game. I posted pics of our motorcycle ride a few months ago. That's all the connection I have to this one, other than that I'd really like to play it one o these days.

I am sketching two tattoos for a guy one is from this game and one is from Darkwatch.I loved red dead revolver this one is gonna smoke it!I hate being let down by a game I bought a 360 for re5, it was not great.I wanted to punch a baby in the face when I beat it in one day.

This game will slam every other open world game outta the park.

And I am serious, this will be the greatest game ever freakin created.

YOU CAN KILL GRIZZLY BEARS WITH A COMBAT KNIFE FOR CRYING OUT LOUD.

Okay I'm just kidding but it will be the best one until they release Mafia 2

Red Dead Revolver was the best Playstation game EVER, besides Spider-Man 2. Redemption had me at "open world." Hell yes I'm a sucker for the romanticized old west. This is gonna be a fucking gorgeous game. I might actually buy a Playstation 3 for this...

OMG this looks amazing. I'm pre-ordering tomorrow!

I was debating whether I should buy this game for the 360 or PS3. Apparently you can form online gangs, we should form a teh cult gang, than we would all be infinitely cooler.

my pay goes in at about 9.30 tonight. and then i'm going straight to the 24 hour kmart and buying this. god damn. i can't wait. i'm sure i'll be pulling an all nighter.

talk to victor. he just finished it.

already!

in only a week? i thought it was going to be a huge game. HUGE huge, not

huge

huge.

Here's a peek behind the scenes for you. Mr Irish eats lunch:

And the other guy is Anthony De Longis (boot knife guy from Road House!)

Think of that glorious blue spandex while you're riding the range...

i saw Xk3zofrenik online on the 360 version but didnt have my mic and couldn't say hello.

neat game, an hour in.

So pissed off right now.

Just got back from the 24 hour kmart. The bastards couldn't find the disc for red dead. Some how in the last week the one copy they have left got 'lost'. Some prick from kmart is playing my damn copy of red dead right now and I am telling the cult about it, which I'm gonna assume isn't half as fun. Pffft!

Fuck it.

I'm calling in sick tomorrow and going into red dead lockdown.

If you burn through the story, you can probably complete the game in 20 hours. But if all you're doing is completing the story, you're missing out on what makes this a great game.

There is so much shit to do and nearly all of it is fun. I've spent probably 2 hours just playing poker... And I normally hate poker.

There is so much to explore and the world looks amazing. Once you get in there, you'll be happy.

not making my situation any better, man!

I love this game so very much. I was trying to hunt some mountain goats and a fucking cougar attacked and killed me out of nowhere. I haven't been surprised like that since Resident Evil 2. I feel overwhelmed by its hugeness.

And now I gotta break out my western dvds.

hang 'em high!

This game is selling like crazy at my store. I haven't seen a rating below 9.5 anywhere and it seems customers are loving the shit out of some Grand Theft Horse. Anything in particular from the game you guys who've played it feel I should share with my customers?

I feel like I should reiterate the fact that I'm a manager at a Gamestop.

ok, i can say without a hint of smirk that rockstar finally hit it out of the park. normally i'm sick of their games in the space of three hours, and everything devolves to a day or two of stealing cars, setting up the biggest chains of explosions i can think of, and then beating myself up for buying another rockstar game.

in the past three days i've put a good 16 hours or so into RDR, and i haven't been bored for a moment. for perspective, i usually only play an hour or two a day, at most; i don't watch tv, so i feel okay about that.

redemption has enough to do that i haven't fallen into my OCD 'if it's not nailed down, steal it and sell for profit' mode like i inevitably did with fallout 3, and every other open world game. the world is stunning in scope and opportunity, and literally dropped my jaw earlier when i was riding into a sunrise and the light was breaking over mountains, through trees, blooming in the fog.

first alan wake, now this. i'm in gamer heaven

can't talk. being a badass cowboy.

but yesyesyes, what Berto said.

my real life is ruined. i actually called in sick for work yesterday to stay home and play. i fucking played blackjack for like an hour and a half. and then for about two hours i rode around on my stallion hunting and skinning animals. fuckyeah!

Just picked this up and I'm only an hour or so into it but it seems pretty good and should keep my interest. Sort of like a not shitty Far Cry 2, not that that was that bad but still. Are the ps3 and xbox360 versions different enough that this thread needs to be ps3 specific?

The only difference between the 2 versions is that the Xbox version is graphically superior.

Other than that, they are the same game.

unfortunately, it's glitched. those of us who pre-ordered gamestop's limited edition with the deadly assassin kit may never get it

spoilers follow:

the mission early on, where the marshall tells you to take the gang leader alive, at that point i had no lasso so i wounded him in the leg and wound up somehow getting credit for taking him alive - that never worked on any gang bounty hunts - i needed the lasso for that. anyway, if you take that gang leader alive, mo vann barr - who you need to kill to get the deadly assassin outfit, will never appear. the only workaround thus far is to start the game over from scratch and kill that gang leader when you go out with the marshal.

here's hoping for a patch - i'm rarely using deadeye anyway, but it would be nice to have what i paid for work.

How far are you? Because dead eye becomes infinitely more fun as you get the more advanced versions of it. I use it way more now at 20 hours in than I did during the first 10.

Dead eye is fucking badass.

And I'll take the ps3 tag off the thread title. I don't know why I did that.

I have purposefully avoided getting this game for the time being. I just know that when I do get it, that that'll be the end of me in the real world for probably six months. I just can't handle that right now.
But, DAMN! do I want it. Maybe i'll break down and get it the third week of June.
I still need to figure out how to get my PS3 hooked up on my wifi. has anyone started a Cult gang yet? Fuckit, maybe I'll get it the second week of June...

i'm at dead eye level 2 of 3. really hoping they fix the MVB glitch soon, it seems to be getting some attention at the major gaming sites now.

Im generally not into sandbox/free roam games but the setting and my love of westerns it's real easy for me to waste so much time just hunting.

I don't play a lot of games, but I've been enjoying the hell out of this one.

Is there any particular area where bears are common, though? I haven't come across one yet and I'm probably halfway through the friggin' game.

Yeah in the Tall Trees area of the map, there everywhere along with cougars, elk, and big horns.

Keep playing, you'll make it to the bears.

lucky rabbit's foot got moe barr to show up.
i am a deadly assassin! pew pew pew!!

a cult gang would be so badass.

i need to work ou how to get some internet gaming happening. i feel like i'm mssing out on so much not having it. but to do that i have to get a proper wireless connection and blah blah. ugh. technology is such a pain in my ass.

ihaven't been able to play this nearly as much as i want to. too muchuni work and work work at the moment. and i think the time i have spent on it i have spent too much time doing trivial shit like hunting and playing blackjack. but it's so fucking fun.

i only just met Mike's mate Irish.

who here has this for the 360?

I do

I don't, but thanks to you, BERTO, I am probably going to buy a 360 now just for Alan Wake!

that's the spirit.
when red dead is cheap enough, i'll send you half and you can get that for the 360 as well, gunsling with me online.

we're going to need an appropriate gang name.

how is the cult not a good, appropriate gang name? sounds heaps badass. should probably think of something a bit better though, but still in relation to the cult.

and yesyesyes! i want to gunsling with you online. that would be incredible.

That sounds very gay.

The Dusty Bottoms!

you thinking it sounded gay is incredibly gayer.

great! another gay war!

a funny thing happened leaving gaptooth breach... i somehow became a western bowie knife wielding doctor doolittle. in the space of ten minutes, wolves, cayotes, armadillos, and all fucking manner of winged creatures were everywhere, relentlessly. i wasn't even using bait! critters just kept strutting past, going for my horse.

i'd just sold all my hunting get except for the boar tusks before leaving for the mission, and these were the killing streets of fauna i left behind:
(DEAD THINGS CIRCLED Not shown: dead things to my south.)

because i know the cult will smoosh it down to size, and its already grainy from being taken on a cell phone:

I LOVE THIS GAME. I've never wanted a video capture card so badly before.

haha, that is awesome.

I wasted a pack of roughly 20 wolves in about 30 seconds tonight in Mexico.

i get the feeling ill be unlocking mexico soon. doesnt seem there's much else to do where im at. i quit for the night because i wanted to be fresh incase my gut is right

Berto, you madman!

i'm so behind you guys. i want a wide brim hat. i'm still stuck in the damn elegant suit.

oh. okay. i'm not that far behind. i just reached mexico and now i'm rocking a badass poncho and have dead eye level three.

it's the deadly assassin hat. comes with an eyepatch, and doubletime dead-eye regeneration. pew pew pew!

nate, that would be AWESOME. i like the idea of being able to go frontier pharmacist. i'm still half hoping that's in the future with all the herbs i've gatherd. maybe they'll include apothecary in a sequel! alas, i meant get as in winnings, goodies. but damn it spawned a cool idea!

Are they just something you gather to earn certain trophies though or do they have any in-game use?
