Chris Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Anyone else looking forward to this at the weekend? I was going to wait until payday but caved last night and ordered it after watching some of the trailers.OK, it's basically just GTA in the wild west and doesn't look like it's doing anything particularly new but GTA in the wild west! What more do you need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scootray Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 I have Red Dead Revolver which was pretty good, so GTA in the Wild West is old news to me...But it looks like it could be a good sequel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good game, but no replay value. Hopefully they've done what they've claimed and made a much bigger game, with online modes and side missions to keep you interested. Me, I'm waiting til next week for UFC: Undisputed 2010 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted May 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 Amazon only sent my copy out today. Cunts. Should have learned my lesson by now with them for pre-orders really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kernel Loaf Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 I might pick it up once I've finished Dragon Age, but that game is kicking my arse so badly that it will probably be a while.Red Dead Redemption has some fantastic reviews though.

Moose Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 So, anyone played it yet? Is it worth picking up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gooch_Taylor Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 So, anyone played it yet? Is it worth picking up?A mate of mine who just changed jobs (now a programmer, but was a full-time games tester for RealTimeWorlds - he knows his games) has it and reckons it's the shit.

Soda Jerk Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 Visually it looks incredible. I've not had a go on it though. Just seen the missis play it. The slow-mo shooting thing looks ace. It'd be good if they did that for the driving+shooting missions on the next GTA, whenever that'll be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Three-knots Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 I had a shotty the other day and thought it was ace. The live multiplayers really cool too with the shootout at the start! nice little addition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be good if they did that for the driving+shooting missions on the next GTA, whenever that'll be.The mate I mentioned who worked for RealTimeWorlds said Rockstar offered to buy their game, APB, and just rebrand it as the next GTA, so guessing they haven't made much progress with their own.

Buy it so I can shoot you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiscoCitizen Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 'tis a cracker of a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted May 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 I'm becoming properly addicted to it. There seems to be a great balance of storyline missions and other shit to do. Tried the multiplayer over the weekend and it's pretty ace as well. From wandering around free roam with a friend picking fights with other players and clearing gang hideouts, to the deathmatches/capture the flag games which begin with everyone standing in a circle for a last man standing shootout. Fantastic fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3CR816 Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 The best Western themed game I've ever played, and I've played Sunset Riders AND Mad Dog McCree! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted May 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 The best Western themed game I've ever played, and I've played Sunset Riders AND Mad Dog McCree!Did you ever play Outlaws on the PC (cartoony FPS)? That was great fun and was my previous favourite wild west game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 The best Western themed game I've ever played, and I've played Sunset Riders AND Mad Dog McCree!What about Lucky Luke? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3CR816 Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 What about Lucky Luke?I plum forgot about that one.Chris, I never played Outlaws but I heard that was a pretty fun game. To be honest, the last Western themed game I played before RRR was Call of Juarez, but I really wasn't a fan of that at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted May 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 Yeah I had Call Of Juarez. It wasn't great. Too many stealthy "sneak around this campsite at night without being seen" missions for my tastes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarmaTsunami Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 I had a quick shot of my brother's copy. I didn't do any missions but I did hogtie someone who tried to shoot me and left them somewhere for the wolves. That's a hell of a lot more fun than just running folk over in GTA.
