Red Red Redemption.....Got old. QUICK.

Is it just me, or is Red Dead Redemption not as good as we thought it would be?

Sure, the first week we all had it was the best week ever. It felt amazing. Everything was new to us, everything was fun and hilarious. But now thats its been out for almost a month. Its quite boring.

Free Roam is boring.

"Wanna hunt bears again?" "Nah."

"Wanna jump off that cliff again for fun?" "Nah."

"Wanna kill some cops?" "Nope."

"Wanna kill our donkeys?" "Not fun anymore."

"Wanna do some gang hideouts?" "No its boring."

And I never thought the competitive multiplayer was fun. It got old within the first week. It wasnt fun at all for me.

And im done with the single player. I never have a desire to play it now for some reason. I still have some stuff to do in it, but theres no desire to go back and do it.

Am I the only one here that thinks it got old?

Its not a game I could pour 100+ hours into, so in a sense, yes, I could see it getting boring after you've done most everything, but that doesn't detract from the game for me. Its still an amazing game and an amazing acheivement, design-wise.

Ya i got 100% in single player and I'm level 50 in multiplayer so I'm pretty bored.

I dont know how people were utterly bored with GTAIV, all the mission were fun and different and the last mission was pretty epic. Not to mention the few choices you had in the game gave some nice variations. Also the maps in GTAIV multiplayer were pretty fun, the only thing this game did was capitalize on GTAIV's free roam. But thats your opinion.

I could bring myself to finish thegame neither, it got SOOOOO boring once you took out the last guy in your gang, I had to take a break from the game at that point.

And am I the only one that cant imagine a good SP DLC? All the characters surrounding you were pretty dull and onedimensional...GTA had some good round characters. But I guess thats cuz John wasnt exactly looking to make friends.

Yep it was great for the first week after that...

I think many people are being very harsh on this game, i have put hours into the single player and have hardly touched missions. I've improved my poker game alot and can now win pretty consistantly even without rigging the deck (shame you cant play it online), blackjack is kind of good for a couple of quick rounds although it is luck as much as skill, five finger fillet helps speed up reactions which is always good, horseshoe throwing admittedly is fairly frustrating and hunting is still a blast. Put aiming onto expert and try hunting birds, it gives a great sense of achievement if you hit one and even better if you can hit them consistantly.

Multuiplayer is great if you round up a decent posse and actually work together, otherwise you do end up getting fairly pissed off at all the level 30+ who ride around on faster mounts with better weapons and can kill you in like 2 shots.

A lot of games get old after awhile. I have around 31 hours in single player, and probably around 15 hours in multiplayer. I'm still happy with my purchase and the upcoming DLC should be good. I kind of hope they do the same thing they did with GTA and make some episodes or something.

Yup, it got old surprisingly quick.

After completing the story to the very end I've got little reason to play it any further. I can't be bothered to stab some wolves in the face to get a hunter rank, it's all "meh". Strange how many reviewers were saying "it's not GTA in the Wild West", when in fact it really is. "Go to point A and kill some dude" is done over and over again to the point where I almost fell asleep. And the characters were/are very dull, although I thought West-Dickins was pretty good. Your choices as to whether to be a bad guy or a good guy don't affect the game in any major way either, which is really dissapointing considering all the attention R* were giving to your "moral dilemas".

The not-so-random "random encounters" aren't all they were hyped up to be either. It's also strange that RDR is better than GTA IV, and yet I had fun for longer playing GTA than I did playing RDR :?

And yeah, the multiplayer is really stale; I got bored of it after the first week.

Maybe this is the problem with pre-release hype...

KlepticGrooves

I would have to agree with almost everything you said. I feel the same way.

Story is fun, and nothing keeps me more entertained than hogtying people and throughing them on the train tracks, I always find it amusing. Multiplayer was meh. Some of my friends love it but I never saw the fun. I usually solo games but it at least I wasn't the only one.

GUN was and is the better game. It's one of the best games I've ever played and it's years old.

Ugh, I have yet to pick it up! I want to pick it sooo bad!

No way I love Red Red Redemption!!!!!! I play it heaps!!!!!:D

it was never really that great to begin with. I hate rockstar for making the sequel just another crappy gta clone instead of a sequel more in the vein of it's predecessor

SilentSoprano

I agree with this. I was lookin forward to this game ever since they announced it way back when, but it was pretty dissapointing. Oh, and watch out for the Rockstar fanboys who mosey their way over here.

To be honest, I can only partially agree with you here. I thought most of the GTAs were major disapointments, but at least it seems they tried in RDR in terms of interesting characters, a less generic story, and a great atmosphere. I give it an 8.5 / 10.

Hype kills games.

Lower your expectations and you will not be disappointed.
