    Red Dead Redemption

    I searched for it but couldn't find a thread about it so here we go......anybody playing this? I barely have time because of awesome weather and World Championship but when I have time, I am playing the fuck out of it. I am sure this Game will keep me busy for over 100 hours without even having touched the online part of it. I am still in the beginning and have only made 2 or 3 main missions so far...but already played over 20 hours with it lol.

    Playing Poker, Black Jack and the other Games or just riding through the country hunting down Animals and trying to do the mini quests you stumble over at random all over the map sucks up enormous times and so far it's not annoying at all because you have small goals to achieve all the time. Like killing 2 pumas with a knife or to find the pieces to the different costumes you can get....very motivating. Graphics are ace (playing it on PS3) and so is the sound. I also NOT miss to get calls all the time like in GTA4 from buddies so I can just play the way I want to and start things when I wanna start them. I only wonder if they will ever offer a free save system and a SEPARATE option to pass some hours. Sleeping 6 hours on each Save is a mediocre way to solve this and the Game is long enough to let you decide if you wanna sleep or save but that's the only complaint I have about it. It happened a few times to me that I have played for an hour hunting animals without saving and then I was either torn in pieces from a Puma or boar or I fell into stupid water or from a cliff lol.

    Re: Red Dead Redemption

    i've just started playing over the weekend ... the storytelling is absolutely fantastic ... its like watching a really good western and overall its so much better than GTA was ... even though if you break it down its actually Grand Theft Horsey

    only thing i thought they could have done better is that the horse that you ride in disappears when you hand in a quest and you are left stranded in whichever town you are in ... and the only way to get back your horse is to either steal a horse or tame a wild one or walk back to where your safehouse is which might be in a separate town

      My son bought this and is having a field day with it. He's only 9 and I heard him say he was watching a movie and this guy was having sex with a tree. I just about fell out of my chair....

          Re: Red Dead Redemption

          My son has been gaming since he was 4 so he pretty much knows that they are games and not real life. But I do still tend to look at the games he gets before he gets them (that's the dad in me) but I have never told him he couldn't get a game. Usually if I have an issue with the game I will sit in there and watch him, usually just to see for myself what it's about. With Red Dead his cousin had it and brought it over one night so I was able to get a some what good look at it. But like the sex thing you never know what gets put into a game.

            Doesn't the Whistle work with main quests? So far I was able to "call" my horse anywhere I wanted to but like I said, I am still a newbie regarding main missions.

              Better also check out if he has learned new words you don't wanna hear coming out of the mouth of a 9 year old. RDR is not as explicit as GTA4 was but it's still rough in places. The rest you as his Father should know best. Some kids may have nightmares after seeing how the blood comes out when he is skinning the animals but I know that the majority of kids know the difference between Games and real Life better than Adults.

                    I have been without an xbox for too long now, lack of money and general shit but i really want this game! Looks awesome, have always been into GTA games so i know i will like it. Think im going to get an Xbox slim for my 30th and a copy of this game so i can play the shit out of it.

                    @Funky, at least you are keeping tabs on yours kids game playing and Red Dead doesnt seem too bad. Nothing more annoying than what sounds like 8 year olds screaming on xbox live playing Modern Warfare. FPS games should be kept away from kids and most parents are oblivious!

                      The game isn't bad at all and looks to be a lot of fun. I just wish he would give up the remote so I can play it. Both my son and I play MW2 but he never gets on the mic. We usually mute everyone...sometimes those little rats get too carried away! But ya my son is in the 7th prestige (going on and is really frickin good (imo). Little guy can quick scope like nobody's business, but unlike some parents I sit in and watch and play when he is on. I want to keep tabs but I also want to do it in the distance.

                        ^^ In Video Games, you can only loose against kids. Their hand-eye coordination and reaction time over rules our abilities by far lol.

                          You aren't kidding. I would love to be able to play like him! Maybe if I had a lot more practice time I could but he needs to give up the remote so I can play some of these games more!!

                              I will defo pick this up as I love the GTA games and I know this will be similar. On Bioshock 2 at the moment - too many games, not enough time! Meant to be studying for accountancy qualification at some point also!
