Red Dead Redemption screens, and trailer!

[Ichirou]

Achievements, faggurt.

[The Fake Shemp]

Actually, what would be distinguished mentally-challenged is buying Final Fantasy XIII for any console.

[Brehvolution]

To be fair, the 360 version is worse because it has too much detail. Everyone knows that the sparse environments and lack of legible textures found in the PS3 version are more accurate to time period depicted in the game. Typical Xfag spin, trying to claim that visuals trump historical accuracy.

Yep, it's just personal preference for me.  

My only gripe so far is I am constantly clicking my left thumb to run. 

[maxy]

Some UK website(mag) is claiming $100 million budget for RDR.

 
Not really

I'm so happy that I got banned from that shithole

[Smooth Groove]

Really, it doesn't seem to be Bayonetta-level bad.  If I only had a PS3, I probably wouldn't care.

Multi-system owners who get the PS3 version over the 360 version are plain 'tarded though.

That is pretty much true for any multi platform game

No, there are some exceptions.  FFXIII, Devil May Cry 4 (IIRC), and Hokuto Musou come to mind.  And wasn't Dead Space supposed to look better on PS3?

Nope, both Dead Space and DMC4 looked better on the 360. 

Also, FFXIII on the 360 came with 4 discs!  Unless you're a dirty fanboy, why would you want less of a good thing?

Well, some people who own both the Ps3 and the X360 got FFXIII for the latter console.

Now that is distinguished mentally-challenged.

Didn't you play it on the 360 just 'cause it was "free"?

Real talk, if I only had a PS3 I wouldn't really give a shit. Both games look pretty comparable and the end product is still the same. I don't know why people make an issue out these comparisons anymore. Multiplatform releases by and large look marginally better on the 360. The sooner we accept that the better off everyone will be.

Because it's not marginal in most cases.  "you can't tell the difference anyway" is just the newest spin from the Sony camp.   

[Third]

Nope, I've bought the Ps3 version.

Played the X360 version also. The quality of the movies almost made me puke. Definitely a downgraded port.

[bork]

Nope, both Dead Space and DMC4 looked better on the 360. 

Don't DMC4's cut scenes run at 30FPS on 360 and 60FPS on PS3?  I remember reading that.  And with Dead Space, it was some lighting thing?  High dynamic range lighting or something or other?  I have no idea if this is bullshit or not.

I got both games on PS3, for the record.  DMC4 just to have something to play on PS3 at the time (although I never did play it) and Dead Space because I wasn't sure if it was region free for my J360.

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

I've got no idea what the differences are in Dead Space but i got it for the PS3 and looks pretty damn good to me.

[Eel O'Brian]

yeah, i hate the horse roping

i hope that shit isn't required a lot in the rest of the game

[bork]

Point is DS and DMC4 are best on PC

RDD is best on 360. So far

Borys, do you even have the right PC and monitor to run those two games properly?   

Speaking of DMC, how was Devil May Cry 3 on PC?  Anything enhanced over the PS2 version?

[maxy]

Finished the game...kinda

Stay away from net,game is easily spoilable.

Cat out.

360 had a locked 30 fps in cut-scenes while PS3 had an unlocked 30 to 60 fps.  The main difference is that the 360 version had 4X MSAA while the PS3 only had some blurry-ass quincunx AA.  

Dead Space had better graphics and a more stable framerate on the 360.  http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/xbox-360-vs-ps3-face-off-round-15-article?page=2


But like Borys said, both games ran much better on the PC.  DMC4 on my PC run well above 300FPS with a 1080P rez, 32X AA and much more detail.  There's even a PC exclusive mode that has several times the normal amount of enemies on screen.

Same assets as the PS2 version but you can run it at higher resolutions.  That game didn't age too well though.  I tried it recently and even at 1600x1200, it looked pretty bad.  

[ManaByte]

Just unlocked the duster

Working on that Social Club challenge right now.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

360 Version 

[ManaByte]

So it's true?

Methodis posted an unmarked spoiler about the end of RDR? KILL HIM WITH FIRE.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

No, I didn't. And if it is true, which it isnt, way to let everyone know

[WrikaWrek]

Just reached a part in the game where suddenly it kinda stopped being Wild West. What a turn off.

Think i'm gonna jump right away to UFC Undisputed

[MyNameIsMethodis]

Does the computer ever bluff in poker? It seems they never do and can call your bluffs right away.

[The Fake Shemp]

No, they do. Some the AIs have different personalities, it's pretty neat. I met a guy that would call me every time for up to 9 chips after the blind, regardless of whether or not he was holding garbage.

I also fooled the computer, by intentionally bluffing and having it call my bluff and losing with garbage hands - so when I went all in, it thought I had garbage, but was really rocking a pair of aces. Suck it computer!

[The Fake Shemp]

Unlocked the Deadly Assassin outfit. Looks so awesome.

[Smooth Groove]

Looks so awesome thanks to it being glorious 720p native + 2x MSAA.

Finished the Social Club challenge.

Unlocked the Gentleman's Outfit too.

[Eel O'Brian]

who are you to judge

[bork]

Picked the game up...they were all sold out of it at the mall I was at and the clerk told me I wouldn't be able to find a copy ("that's what you get for not pre-ordering!"), so I went two minutes down the street to another Gamestop where they had shitloads of copies.  

Got the regular edition.  What's added to the special edition?

[The Fake Shemp]

DEADLY ASSASSIN OUTFIT and free soundtrack. And some challenges.

[cool breeze]

This game is pretty glitchy.  It randomly decides that I have abandoned people, even though I am feet away killing enemies.

[ManaByte]

PETA is in this game. I shot and killed a deer while working on the Hunting and some chick saw me and I got a bounty for MURDER.

just saw a dude pull his horse over to the side of the road and take a piss behind a rock

[Brehvolution]

On my way to armadillo and I see this guy who tells me to get some land off this other guy so he can build a well. So I approach the guy and he throws me off the horse, gets on, and starts riding away. I had shoot him in the back of the head as he was riding away. Did I mess something up?

Eel, I was just going to ask if anyone played MP yet. 

[cool breeze]

I'm starting to wish they made this game a more like Fallout 3/Bethesda RPGs.  I've only done a few of the main missions but I'm loving just riding around, exploring, and doing just random tasks.

And maybe it is just what I like about westerns, but the cutscenes are a bit much.  It's just on and on with the overwritten banter at times.  At least if you're gonna have more talking while riding to the destination, keep the cutscenes brief.  That said, I like the main character.

A Western RPG done fallout style would be dope. That being said in an open world game I'm the type of gamer who actually needs a strong narrative story element. All open world action games get a bit repititious and if I don't have story hook to drive me forward and push that out of my mind, I lose interest. I've noticed that all the open world games message board types loves are the ones that bore me because they are very light on story.

I'm normally the guy who champions gameplay over narrative in videogames but for open world affairs and RPG's I need a story or characters to drive me to finish. 

[Eel O'Brian]

when npcs chastise me during a mission it makes me want to kill them

"C'MON WHAT'RE YOU WAITIN FOR"

"QUIT FOOLIN' AROUND"

"I CAN'T DO THIS BY MYSELF"

"GET THAT HERD TO THE RANCH WE DON'T HAVE ALL DAY"

bang-bang

[Jansen]

are you guys gonna form a posse?

there are surprisingly less folks playing this on my friends list than i expected.

[WrikaWrek]

Went head to head against a bear. The blade in my hand wasn't nearly enough.

I got rocked in Blackjack and I literally killed everyone (eight people!) inside the bar - no witnesses! After I got jobbed, I stood in the corner of the room so I could see everyone in the same frame, whipped out my gun and DEAD EYE'D all those whores and sonsofbitches.

[WrikaWrek]

Some dude caught me cheating once. His teeth caught my bullet.

This area made my jaw drop:

Everyone on my list is playing it. Meanwhile I'm playing Prince of Persia 

[Third]

So, I was killing some Hawks to farm money. I shot one from far away and went after it. The bird landed near a dead woman laying on the ground with her husband standing next to her. When I neared the couple the husband kneeled and then shot himself in the head. Suicide.

That was pretty awkward. The hawk landed a few inches away from the woman's dead body. I looted the bird and the couple. Nice catch.

[AdmiralViscen]

In multiplayer, do you get to make a custom character or is your whole posse made up of clones? Or do you pick from a group of skins?

[ManaByte]

You pick from a group of skins that you unlock as you play.

Right now Multi is nothing but a bunch of gank posses who run around looking for single target kills, but run and hide when a group comes after them.

[AdmiralViscen]

I assume you can have a private game?

Does one character have to use his gamesave as a host environment, or is it exclusive to multiplayer? It'd suck if I invited my friends into my game and they wiped out a town or something.

[ManaByte]

It's exclusive to multiplayer. Multi is a completely separate game from the single player.

i am up to try some multiplayer in about 30 minutes or so

[Sho Nuff]

This better be out today in za Japon or Ima be pissed off

[Eel O'Brian]

it's pretty annoying when you see that flower symbol pop up every 1.5 seconds as you're riding down a road, but when you actually need the flowers for a side mission you can't find them to save your fucking life

[ManaByte]

Multiplayer is horribly broken. The character models don't like to load in after a respawn (I have the game installed, don't know if that's fucking with it), which makes it really fun trying to shoot at an INVISIBLE person. You can just see their name over where they are supposed to be.

[Eel O'Brian]

man, why does rockstar always have to go the lowbrow route

every mission always has to have some perverted or weird twist to it

[ManaByte]

Have you found the horse fucker yet?

[demi]

thanks for betatesting guys, ill wait for the patch


the second patch too

[chronovore]

Did they actually say that to you? I can't stand the -ness of that attitude. "SON. THIS IS A RETAIL ESTABLISHMENT WITH COPIES OF GAMES. IF I WANTED TO PRE-ORDER, I'D GO THROUGH AMAZON. A BRICK-AND-MORTAR STOREFRONT IS SUPPOSED TO CARRY STOCK, HAVE INVENTORY. AM I GETTING THROUGH YOUR THICK SKULL? IT'S LIKE TALKIN' TO A WALL, I SAY."

Working on that Social Club challenge right now.

How does the Social Club Challenge work? Is it like Ballad of Gay Tony where you can try for each win-condition during separate runs, or do you have to get all of them during a single run? Can you retry whenever you want, or do you have to keep a separate save game for that mission?

So it's true?

Methodis posted an unmarked spoiler about the end of RDR? KILL HIM WITH FIRE.

Methodis is the forum equivalent of a drunk-dialer. He doesn't think before he posts. Since our admins seem unwilling to moderate the people who break the rules, I've got him on Ignore now, the same way I had WrikaWrek firewalled after he spoiled Brutal Legend. Oddly, I don't have TripleA on Ignore, so maybe I am actually believing they're different people now.

I went to Akiba yesterday and they STILL haven't gotten copies in...of either the asian or US versions.  Fuck me.

I have it and I'm not even playing it right now

Oh, yeah? Well at least we're comfortable with our gender.

:'(

I only break out the big guns for people I like, sexy. Just be happy you still have a big gun to return the favor. 

[ManaByte]

The current Social Club challenge requires you to get all three win conditions in one run, but it's not that tough.
