Red Dead Redemption

[nation]

I take it this game is pretty good. It's getting stellar reviews.

Here's a trailer if you haven't payed attention to this game.

Of course it is by Rockstar so it might just be getting massively overrated just like GTAIV.

It looks pretty good I want to try it out and rent it from gamefly.

I really want to try this game out. I really loved Red Dead Revolver and the trailers and shit that have been on TV over the last month or so have made this game look pretty awesome. But being that I just started Uncharted 2 and UFC is coming out nexct week I am going to be busy for awhile.

I keep seeing the trailer for this game and a lot of people are talking about it. But this...

I have a feeling it's massively overrated.

No, its not overrated. I've been playing it for a few hours & I'm loving it. I haven't really been playing the storylines, I've just been riding through the desert hunting animals & skinning them, which is a great way to get cash. Kill horses, their hide is valuable & it is a good challenge to shoot a wild mustang.

I'm tempted to get it, but idk. I really want a new game to play, but idk if I'd enjoy this. It just looks silly, like riding a horse in a game while riding on a mountainside. IDk though, can someone convince me?

edit- also, is this a FPS or RPG? Skinning animals and shit for money makes it sound like a homosexual RPG game. If that's the case, then forget it.

Does it look like a fucking first person shooter? It's a sandbox game like GTA or Infamous.

 

[Lady Redfield]

I don't think GTA4 is overrated at all. That game is fucking amazing.

 

[NinoBrown]

Watch Gamespot's review and tell me if it doesn't convince you to play it.

gets old really fast. Almost no improvement in the combat/melle system from GTA.

It's the GTA engine with Wild west renders and models. The dialouge is brutal and voice acting is just awful, and the man guy's voice actor sounds tttturible.

Game will pick up and will be solid at some points but nothing it should be for a hyped adventure wild west game

Its the farthest thing from an RPG unless you count item collection to make you money to buy weapons an RPG. Its built with the GTAIV engine, which was built for free-roaming "sandbox" games. Its also the first Rockstar game to have nipples in it. There are cars in the game, it takes place around 1910. The multi-player lobby is incredibly innovative, it allows you to free reign to roam the land & pick off other players, take on gangs for experience (unlocks weapons and costumes) when not playing games. I loved GTAIV & find this to be even better than it & the bonus stories (Lost & Dead and Ballad of Gay Tony). GTAIV isn't overrated, it took gangster games to the next level and games similar to GTA are going to use it as a template for their games. Red Dead Redemption will for the same for Western games, the ones that have come out over the past decade sucked, except for Red Dead Revolver.

Did you play Gun? Gun was the shit.

No, I didn't play Gun, but since you mentioned it I do remember now hearing it was good from a few people. I actually didn't remember it when I wrote my previous post. So I guess there was previously 2 good western games.

Red Dead Redemption is pretty fun. I like it a lot better than GTA IV, which is over rated compared to Saints Row 2. Anyways, I love going out and killing bandits and anyone I come across and stealing their money and then killing their horse and skinning it to make money then fighting the sheriffs.

Basically this game is a Wild West Grand Theft Auto. Played a few times now and I must give it the grade of a A-. Good Graphics, good gameplay, and I enjoy hunting the wildlife. Helluva ending to this game to, and for those who don't know............ I won't spoil it for you.
