also, i don't know why in the hell they didn't make it so you could start an open free roam where only people on your friends list could join in as they want, coming and going as they please, to save all the trouble of having to invite people over and over

WHY DON'T YOU MAKE YOUR OLD WILD WEST GAME THEN YOU JERK

TripleA · « **Reply #782 on:** May 21, 2010, 09:33:16 PM »

The game definitely has that GTA4 blur on Ps3, but the claims that it looks like crap are completely false.

Looks just as good as Just Cause 2.

so, just hit a game-freezing bug

finished a mission, and instead of letting me continue on marston froze in place, couldn't move him at all while everything around me continued on as normal

had to reboot, lost about 45 minutes of playtime

this is just typical rockstar

they hype a new game's features, and everything sounds so awesome in the ads and marketing videos, but when the game actually comes out nothing really works right and it's loaded with a fuckton of bugs

chronovore · « **Reply #785 on:** May 21, 2010, 10:42:54 PM »

Kinda happy my copy's not here yet; maybe the patch will come out next week and save me from similar occurrences.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #786 on:** May 21, 2010, 11:20:59 PM »

hahaha, no lie, just hit another bug where my wanted level will not go away no matter what i do

killed a guy in mexico (who started shooting at me for no reason), got a wanted level, then outran the circle until the logo disappeared

so i figure i'll quick travel to my next mission, and a message tells me i can't set up camp when i am wanted, but according to the lack of a wanted logo i am no longer wanted

fuck it, i ride from mexico all the way into far north for my next mission, but it won't appear

so now i can't save anywhere, my next mission marker has disappeared, and the red circle reappears whenever i ride into a town even though the law won't shoot me

this game is turning from a few small annoyances into a downright miserable experience for me

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #787 on:** May 21, 2010, 11:24:39 PM »

rode into the water and killed myself, thankfully didn't lose any progress this time

I feel like you find every bug

BlackMage · « **Reply #789 on:** May 22, 2010, 12:30:39 AM »

apparently lots of bugs on the xbox version

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #790 on:** May 22, 2010, 12:35:43 AM »

i didn't encounter any in the first half of the game, but once i got a ways into the second half they started cropping up all over the place

Hitler Stole My Potato · « **Reply #791 on:** May 22, 2010, 06:28:19 AM »

Finally got around to Mexico last night......sooooo pretty.

I had to figure that out too.

Go to your items menu, choose the horse template.

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #795 on:** May 22, 2010, 04:37:38 PM »

and it's cool too because if that horse dies you can just go back and select the contract again and the horse will spawn.

i'm trying to drop a criminal on the train tracks but every time i got one the train is either on the other side of the map or is sitting at armadillo and isn't moving.

My friends list is filled with people playing this.

By comparison I've seen relatively few people playing Alan Wake.

Interesting...

I don't think that AW will sell much,going against RDR is bad move...

It will have a cult following though and DLCs are coming...

Thank god for that. Could you imagine how fucking lame it would've been if you had to buy another contract after you lost your horse to some bullshit like a random cougar attack? I would've been seriously ticked off.

And catching the train can be a bitch when all the sudden you want to ride the damn thing. I'm trying to do the ambient challenge of shooting 5 flying birds from a moving train but I can't seem to track it down without me having to ride my horse to all hell and back. There's got to be an easy way to get on board. You know, that thing was seemingly everywhere when I was ignoring it but now it's like a freaking ghost. Same thing with some of the other challenges. Before I couldn't go 100 yards without running into a pack of coyotes but then when I to shoot 5 in a row without getting hit all the coyotes had been seemingly replaced by wolves. I hope that's just random garbage happening and not a design decision.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #798 on:** May 22, 2010, 05:44:34 PM »

had insomnia last night so i stayed up and finished the main story

the last half hour or so is pretty good, and surprisingly decent storytelling, but you have to go through about an hour of tedium to get there

overall it's buggy as fuckall and teeth-gritting clunky in parts, but fun enough that it kept me going until the end

i doubt i play sp much anymore, gonna give the multiplayer a few days to see if it can pull me in - if not, sold

WrikaWrek · « **Reply #799 on:** May 22, 2010, 06:18:53 PM »

I didn't catch a single bug.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #800 on:** May 22, 2010, 06:34:31 PM »

well i guess i got a special copy, then

also, the one thing i hated most about this game was required of me several times towards the end, i knew because i hated it so much i'd eventually have to do it multiple times at some point - i almost (almost) quit playing over it

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #801 on:** May 22, 2010, 07:12:14 PM »

If there is GTA4-like DLC coming, then I won't sell it. The SP is too good.

Brehvolution · « **Reply #802 on:** May 22, 2010, 07:21:09 PM »

I played some poker last night for the 2nd time. Pulled 87 bones. What is your guy's biggest pull?

Damn, must have been a full table. I was only playing with 2 others last night.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #805 on:** May 22, 2010, 07:26:49 PM »

Full table, and also I'm pretty good at Texas Hold 'Em in real-life. I won a couple hundred the last money game I played. I have a pretty good strategy IRL, but I have a different one for the game.

MyNameIsMethodis · « **Reply #806 on:** May 22, 2010, 07:43:53 PM »

The poker moves too slow for my tastes. I really don't need to see every damn animation.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #807 on:** May 22, 2010, 08:37:01 PM »

There's a button to skip to your turn, you dummy.

I also think Methodis perceives time differently than the rest of us.

Not at all. Deadwood was more town level, this is like Tombstone with the F word.

And I know you can skip to your turn, but I would've rathered something like Texas HOld em on XBLA.

brawndolicious · « **Reply #812 on:** May 22, 2010, 10:27:18 PM »

No, I meant like is it dark and realistic and so forth?

MyNameIsMethodis · « **Reply #813 on:** May 22, 2010, 10:28:23 PM »

No, not what you're thinking of.

Like I said, it's like Tombstone mixed with the "action" of Fistfull of Dollars with the cussing of Deadwood.

brawndolicious · « **Reply #814 on:** May 22, 2010, 10:43:00 PM »

I'm waiting for a price drop then.

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #817 on:** May 22, 2010, 11:19:41 PM »

online is pretty fun as long as you can get a posse together. even then it's still rough.

my team and i where stuck in a terrible spawning loop down in Pikes Basin. basically anyone who was in the area was spawning in the same exact area so we would constantly spawn, die, spawn, die until one of us where able to run away and complete the mission.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #818 on:** May 23, 2010, 12:51:05 AM »

i'd still like to know what fucking distinguished mentally-challenged fellow thought it would be a good idea to allow other players to kill you when you're in the middle of a gang hideout mission, especially considering if you work together you all get the experience

I understand him(partially),GTA4 is full of life,people,cars,etc and RDR is like a wasteland as it should be.

Anyway,is anybody playing it without map,waypoint indicator?

I like it more,if forces you to know the land,listen to people and watch your surroundings.
It takes some time to get used to it though

Bloodwake · « **Reply #822 on:** May 23, 2010, 01:55:03 PM »

Man, Eel, I've only had like maybe one or two bugs, and that's after like hours of gameplay.

It does sound like you got a special copy.

So far I love the game, although it does get tedious later in the game. I'm in Mexico and I've finally broken away from the game long enough to put Alan Wake in.

This game is basically GTA, but with horses. And I'd rather have cars.

Another overhyped R* game. It's good. But nowhere as good as the reviews are making it out to be...

The Sceneman · « **Reply #827 on:** May 23, 2010, 05:19:01 PM »

this game is so much fun. Ive really been enjoying just helping out strangers, treasure hunting and doing the collection sidequests. I've done a few missions but Im enjoying the side stuff so much more! Im glad Rockstar actually made this game fun to just ride around in, theres always some bandits to blow away or animals to hunt.

I got the Ringer in Horseshoes achievement too

Im trying to get the Bollard Twins outfit, just need one final scrap..." Search Thieves Landing" is the clue. Apparently you can find it during a mission, so I'll just hang out for it

The Sceneman · « **Reply #828 on:** May 23, 2010, 07:22:38 PM »

Hitler Stole My Potato · « **Reply #836 on:** May 24, 2010, 09:54:13 PM »

So I'm getting towards the end of the game.....

spoiler (click to show/hide)

And I just finished killing Dutch (or I guess he killed himself) and then some god awful acoustic guitar song comes on and I'm told to ride to see my wife. Fine. So I start riding towards the "A" on the map and I guess this is a big emotional moment in the game because that shit ball song is playing but as I'm riding down the trail, slowly I might add, I get fucking attacked by a couple of cougars. The first one took out my horse and I started running away trying to spawn another one but I kept fumbling the buttons because I was caught so off guard. Then the other cougar swiped at me throwing me on to the train tracks, right in front a passing train killing me instantly (obviously), all the while that horrible song was playing.

I got killed in what ammounted to a cut scene.

Awesome. :/

Hitler Stole My Potato · « **Reply #839 on:** May 24, 2010, 10:35:24 PM »

Yeah, you're just starting. That's right at the beginning.

[youtube=560,345]7IkvAb6THQY[/youtube]
And I don't remember this song playing when I entered Mexico but evidently it's supposed to. Freakin' bugs. It would've been awesome to listen to this song as you crossed into Mexico for the first time. All I got was attacked by a never ending swarm of wolves. Seriously, I collected around 40 or so pelts before I got bored and went to the nearest town.

My game is sabotaging me.
