not into gta games, but i am looking for a game that can last more than 20 hours, but is it basically gta in a western setting?

one thing i really hated about gta4 was the aiming. i didnt think it was that great.

if you used aim assist you fail. Auto aim should be turned off in all games...

Agreed. I wouldnt say its basically the same. They are the same genre, so there will obviously be similarities.

The aiming seems to have gotten an overhaul. There are three settings this time: full-auto like GTA, semi-auto, and free aim. Plus there is a "dead eye" system that lets you paint multiple targets and then take them all down quick.

Both games share a lot of similarities: -big open world -vehicle riding (cars for GTA and horses for RDR) -gun fights/missions I don't know tons about the game, I saw a video, lol, but from what I saw, it vaguely looked like GTA in a western setting, though I'm guessing there is more to it than just that.

not sure if it was on or off. i rented it and returned it within 3 hours. didnt mess with any settings. since RDR is more of a western it looks like shooting will be a big part of the game. im just hoping that the aim will be as good as shooter games.

I doubt it will be exactly like GTA the way everyone is trying to explain it to be. I'm confident in Rockstar..they usually don't disappoint so I'm sure there's no major worries.

Yes it is completely the same as Gta, in RDR your main character is named Tommy Vercitte and your on a mission to kill another guy named Niko Bellic and his cousin Roman. You roam around in suban areas hunting them down, alley to alley until somehow you get tangled up with the Mafia and Jamacian street thugs.

Whats wrong with more GTA goodness? Just switch off the auto-aim if you don't like it ;)

It's like GTA with a lot more roleplay to the core and the world seems a lot more alive than it did in GTA IV.

Well something like this would be cool:

WIth green neon tubes, a nice rear spoiler, chromed legs ... at least Pimp my Ride would make a sense (the name of the show) :P
