Pali Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 I'm just barely into it myself, but I would highly recommend it thus far. Very impressive on all fronts, hugely fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pali Posted May 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 Despite such a horrible crime... it still is a damn fine game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KRins Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 Ever since the epic failure that was Gun... I've basically decided that game makers have no way to accurately depict a Western gunfight and have declared the genre dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pali Posted May 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 This is not Gun, KRins... I'd recommend not knocking RDR until you try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imoutgoodbye Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 Meh...watched a friend play it. It's okay, but very sandboxy in the vein of GTA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pali Posted May 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 Yes, because a game having been inspired by GTA must mean it sucks, since the GTA games have been so terrible... Trust me. Very different from GTA in a lot of ways - the interface is the main element borrowed from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-Nameless Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 Pali you are awfully opinionated for a mustard thief On a side note I personally did not enjoy any part of the GTA series. THe concept was ok, but I always got halfway through and did not care to finish the game because it just got old. I was doing the same type missions in a different part of town. It had the potential to be a jaw dropper, but in the end it felt like I was playing the jet ski level from battle toads. As far as gun I kind of enjoyed the "showdown" mechanic. It illustrated the need for a fast draw, and accurate trigger timing. Sadly it failed in most other portions. As far as Red Dead Revolver I did enjoy that installment of the western series. But in video game history, westerns have never been great.They might have one good title once in a while, but they get plagued by horrible mechanics, and poorly functioning camera angles. If they could make an oblivion style western I feel it would do better. Just I always dislike the engine that they choose to use. I think that a good western style game can exist, it just needs to blend more towards Fallout/Oblivions engine, and mapping style. Restricting the "wild" west is just counterproductive.

Pali Posted May 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 Again, I will only say this - don't knock it until you try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRins Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 Having tried it... I'm knocking away. It's a shiny version of Gun. They haven't done anything to add much skill factor into whether or not you survive imo. Right now...a wii remote adaption for a revolver, similar to the gun thing they made for a MoH game a while back, is the ONLY way you'll improve the action shooter flavor of western games. I mean... mashing the button repeatedly is not the same as having a vaguely gun shaped object in your hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pali Posted May 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 Having tried it... I'm knocking away. That's all I asked. Sorry you didn't enjoy it... I certainly am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRins Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 That's all I asked. Sorry you didn't enjoy it... I certainly am. Maybe I didn't play long enough or something. It really didn't strike me as uber impressive during my half hour of play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pali Posted May 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 Ahh... I'd say that you missed a huge amount of the game then. There is simply so much to do... gambling in various forms (I've played at least an hour of hold 'em in RDR - probably more), hunting, foraging, a great story, a huge and beautiful world to explore, random people coming up to you looking for help every few minutes, and the combat's a ton of fun once you get used to it (and way, way more challenging and fun on expert mode than on normal). Again, just personal opinions... and I can't deny the GTA inheritances, but I feel like it's taken the best things from GTA and built on them into it's own thing.

KRins Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 hmmm...maybe I'll have to invade my buddy's living room again. I was pretty much just on a half hour killing spree, didn't really mess around with the non-combat stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
