Red Dead Redemption

[thedon5]

The multiplayer looks very hard. I just got owned majorly, something like 15 deaths and 1 kill. Plus it's hard to find decent matches. I found myself up against only 1 other guy a few times. Free roam seems decent, I guess it'd be better with a mate.

Overall, I am disappointed by the multiplayer. For now though, those are just my first impressions, I guess I'll have to play it a bit more to properly evaluate it.

Maybe it's just not newbie friendly, in which case I will be glad later on.

But I do think too much emphasis is put onto headshots in competitive online.

DLC out in just over a week!

Uncharted 2 has the best third-person multiplayer, Bad Company 2 has the best multiplayer. RDR is 3rd.

Im getting on right now, will be in single player but if anyone (hopefully with a mic) wants to do some multiplayer just message me on PSN.

I'm going to check if there's a demo on Xbox 360 - this looks like a good game.

Unfortunately, I have the dreaded X/O mixup bug

 

[Manly]

FFS chaps, is there any way of hiding the spoiler box, too?

 

[Covvy]

LOL, temptation coming to you?

 

[pcfan123]

Apparently it only happens to ps3s in Asia, the North American ones are ok

Where did you get your ps3 Oz?

I bought my PS3 in Asia. Didn't know about this bug until I started playing the game and I googled it

Oh well, it only prevents me completing the game, and it affects the poker game (and makes the arm wrestle game impossible). The latest 1.02 patch didn't resolve it.

Let me get some more experience at the game (still mastering the controls) with the single player tonight, but I'm reserving all day tomorrow for MP action. Tomorrow is a public holiday here - Queens Birthday - even though noone cares about the Queen here, we'll take the holiday!

I wish I could help out

Went to hire it but all copies at the video store were out. Off topic a bit but what headsets do you guys use as I need a new one before IC2010 arrives. I want a reliable one this time as my last 2 crapped out within 2 months.

Just buy a basic motorolla blu tooth ear piece. I have one and it very durable and works just fine.

did not know you were on ps3, whats your psn?

something like that will last for years and you can even use it with your cell phone if you ever decide to become a douchebag

Ah, don't you just love this game. something as simple as riding around can give you a great experience on the game.

I got this awesome view on top of a hill/mountain near Tumbleweed overlooking the massive world around me, i can't believe how big this map is!

Also, saw this guy searching a body in the bush and my bet is that he didn't get anything as he booted she a few times up the arse.

Was it you Covvy who posted that funny line?

I got another one.. In 'Mexican Caesar'

Captain: There is something wrong, I feel it.
Marston: Maybe you just need to take a piss or somethin'.

 

[Covvy]

LOL, remember that one now. He's one cool guy John Marsten.

I was in Tall Trees for literally 2 minutes before a Bear mauled my Horse to death. Welcome to Tall Trees Biggy...
