After halfway through RDR, i see that its not that good

you must be playing rdr on ps3 because it has the best open world graphics this gen besides mass effect 2

If you don't like RDR, the list of games you do like must be awful short

cant say i feel the same way TC. I finished the game and im conituing to unlock all the items/missions. Once thats done, i honestly dont know how long the MP will keep me interested. However, im excited for some massive single player DLC.

Most of the missions are the same, hide behind a rock and shoot, a bunch of boring fetch missions with nothing rewarding about them, the same old dumb music, annoying that i have to keep tapping A to run with the horse. its getting really really boring and i have like no interest at all in finishing it. anyone else feels the same way?

And why is people complaining about the tapping the button to to make the horse run? Jeez, you guys complain about the simplest of things. I would think that you would be able to see the logic behind y they have you tapping the button to make the horse go faster along with the horses stamina guage...Jeez come on people.

I never siad I wasn't going to buy this game because of his opinion. Don't quote me and assume that ever again over that. What's the point of even posting if people can't keep their mouth shut about what you say when it's not even directed towards them?:roll:

It took you that long to realize that it's a good but not great game? It does nothing new in the genre and is a weak game compared to Just Cause 2.

I like the treasure hunts i guess, some of the missions are fun, but i was expecting alot more. its not a 9.5 to me, its more of a 6.5-7.5 which in GS standards is between "fair" and "good". 8s are described as "great" and its certainly not great.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion and I have to admit RDR might not be for everyone, but as a few of you stated, I am sure his opinion is in the small majority. I love the game and can barely put it down. Its the immersion of this game that is so much better than any other sandbox game I have ever played. Rockstar has payed so much attention to detail and did a wonderful job with story and character development. Great game!

All Just Cause 2 has going for it is explosions, RDR has great voice acting unlike Just Cause 2. What, do you expect to be able to blow up a saloon albiet I wish I could burn buildings with fire bottles but RDR is in no way Rockstar's way of fooling the blind.

That's disapointing to hear, especially since I was thinking about buying this game after all the praise it has got.

Well, let's see I have about 20 hours into just the singleplayer and i'm not bored at all... I find there is a bunch of stuff to do. Probably my GOTY. Not going to say anything just yet though.

While some of the missions are "been there, done that", others are not, or at least "been there, but not ever done as good as this." I don't recall any game where I get to gunfight while horseback riding that is as polished as this. Or gunfight while riding horseback beside a moving train, or being on a moving train gunfighting bad guys on horses. Or gunfighting while on a raft that is floating down river. Or from a moving stagecoach. And so on. All of this was done so well and has never been done better. In short, an old west game really has never been done better. This game puts all past western games to shame. And the story really is great. When I look forward to every next cutscene, that says something for the story; the well-written & acted dialogue is part of the story.

The truth is, these mega-hit games are prone to be overcriticized by those who are blind of the fact that a game like this, despite a few nitpicks, is one of the best memorable gaming experiences in a very long time.

Red Dead Redemption is awesome if you are ready to be engaged in a western atmosphere. If you're looking for some Boondocks Saints random retard action, then this game will come off as boring. It's way better than GTAIV. Come on, what other game allows you to break horses, hunt bears and skin them, and gives you an achievement for killing off the buffalo?

you sir, are wrong. /thread

Why did we keep talking after this? all that needed to be said

Just wondering, but did the people who enjoy RDR also enjoy GTA4? And did the people who did not like RDR, also not like GTA4?
