this is the next game I'm really excited for. Rockstar always delivers and I can't wait to get sucked into an open world Western with a great, engrossing story. I won't be able to play it much though (if I get it on release) because I'm getting married a week later and then it's the honeymoon / vacation. :P
What a great wedding gift then!?!?!?! What else is there to do on the honeymoon? It has multiplayer....something for everyone.
I didn't know about the multi-player mode. I PO this last month. So who wants to start a gang? :D
I wonder how much you can customize your character.
I probably won't be able to buy this game until the Summer...when i get back to the states....but I am so down for a FR posse!
After all....I am the Thalaw!
The mutliplay has been recently announced - I was already pumped for this game about a year an half ago with the story mode but, the multiplay takes it to a whole new level of cool & replay value - My brother is also getting the game & well be looking to join a gang :blink:
This is THE game I'm waiting on this year. That Free Roam multiplayer looks good enough to even consider paying for XBL Gold. The trailers are looking good.
I'll only be on the PS3 side, don't have a 360. :unsure:
Who will be on the PS3 gang?
Red Dead Revolver was so awesome...I hate that this is next gen only. Still, perhaps I can talk my friend with the 360 into getting it. I hope Manny is an unlockable character again!
I cannot wait for this game. I'll be picking it up for 360 and co-oping with my brother and whoever else we can gang up with.
Rockstar announced free co-op missions DLC coming this June. Me likey co-op. I've got my copy pre-ordered. It's coming out on the Tuesday before a 4 day weekend...and I don't work Wednesdays. Booyah.
Thats great news on the Co-Op missions - This game just keeps looking better & better - If Rockstar delivers on everything they have promised & the gamplay is fun then it might be in the running for game of the year :blink:

Red Dead Redemption To Get Free Co-Op Mission Pack (http://ca.kotaku.com/5531487/red-dead-redemption-to-get-free-co+op-mission-pack)

I guess the co-op mission pack DLC will be free to download, but yeah to play online co-op on the 360 you do need xbox live gold.

figures. bleh. I am about burnt out on my 360 for the moment anyways. Can't bring myself to resume playing Stranglehold or the first Assassin's Creed.
I am very much looking forward to this game. It promises to be all kinds of awesome. All. Kinds. That's like 578.5 kinds.
Tommarow i'll be roping some baddies & dragging them over some jagged rocks behind my trusty steed - Can't wait :blink:
Fresh off completing Mass Effect 2 (which was amazing) I can't believe just how phenomenal RDR is. The details in the setting, the breadth of activities, the overall quality just blows you away. There are minor issues (I've never been a fan of GTA style save system) but those problems are minor. I can't wait to try multiplayer but for now the sp campaign is more than adequate.
There has been something new to do around every corner & i've logged about 6 hours on it today - The controls are pretty much GTA 4 minus the autoaim which is a good thing & a cover system similar to Gears of War - I've used the cover to get close enough to baddies to use my knife or fists - I would like to say more but, i don't want to blow any suprises - If the multiplay is as fun as the Campaign then this game was worth every bit of 60$ - My only problem with the game so far is that the white haired oldman at the Texas Hold'em table is cheating - To bad i'm trying to build up my fame or I would blow him away :blink:
What i have learned thus far is that I cant shoot anything while riding a horse, but I was born to herd cattle....
Seriously, this game makes herding cattle fun. Who woulda thought?
Well, I've logged all of the opening sequence and credits so far. Seriously, I've followed a Gabby Hayes look alike on horseback to the second location and quit. Grand total 10 minutes. It looks purty, but danged if I have anytime to play it.
I'm getting this game on PS3 sometime this week and will definitely be looking to join a gang. :thumbup:
My PSN name is stirpicus ; send me a msg/friend request if ya wanna play! :D
Anymore PS3 owners besides Cardmaster? ^_^
I own a PS3 but I haven't picked up RDR yet. Check the Gamer Tag thread for other PS3 people. :)
NewEgg has the game on sale for $49.99 free shipping. I couldn't pass up an offer like that so I ordered it.
Grizz, myself and my brother had a blast playing Free Roam last night. Any other 360 players are welcome to join us tonight. We'll probably be on around 10:30/11:00 pm EST. Send a message to EDTortuga and we'll cause havoc and throw knives at each other.
I just ordered it for ps3. Expect tosee me on it sometimenext week
Hilarious bugs in this game. :lol:
The Incredible Donkey-Lady! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7q7v4F8r9Og&feature=player_embedded)

The Infamous Cougar-Man! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVVXyKP1FVk)
Last night I walked past a carriage and it started to vibrate and shake. It then started to jump from place to place like the Hulk. Every jump cleared hundreds of feet. I watched it leap away far off into the distance. Weird.
Got the game a few days ago and so far all I did was:
Move cattle
Rustle wild horses
and help Bonnie at the ranch
and yet, I'm having so much fun in this game.
You're actually experiencing some of the best parts early on. The cowboy stuff (cattle herding, horse breaking, etc) I found to be some of the most fun I've had in any game. Now you need to hit the trail and knock out some of those hunting challenges...don't be too alarmed though, when your horse gets taken out by a cougar. I find myself just riding around in the wilderness hunting wild animals.
I see that Fox is airing a half hour short film on this awesome game. I want to watch it but I haven't finished the game. I am worried that it will contain spoilers.

Oh man I have lost so many of my poor horses to those cougars.
I have a personal vendetta against the cougars now.

Jey, did you get it for 360 or PS3? If you got the 360 you should join our posse. This is one of the first games ever that I'm as compelled to play single player as I am to play multiplayer. The challenges are great and the hideouts are a blast to tackle with teammates.
I saw you online last night but was playing a lego game with my daughter. I have it for the 360, so I will join you guys when we meet up again.
Does anyone else play this for PS3? I'm addicted ever since my PC has been out of order for the past two weeks.

I have the PS3 version detourne. :)
What's your PSN ID?
it's my screen name, detourne_me hope to see you on sometime, i want ot see what the posse things all about. i freakin love the shootout dynamic at the start of gang matches.
Wow, just lost my horse to a rattlesnake. Then the little bugger bit me and almost killed me. I'm guessing my boots prevented him from giving me a full dose.
I suppose this is the closest I'll ever get to a Wild West MMORPG...
... not a game machine fan --- anyone know if multiplayer is on the pc version?
-RTT
No PC version.....yet
I say give 6months to a year before a PC version comes out. I have a feeling they are going to do this like GTA4
I was galloping along to a mission when a stranger flagged me down begging for a ride into town - So i stopped thinking this will be easy Fame XP - When he got to me he threw me off my horse & tried to nab it - The nerve of that guy & I was trying to help him out - So I pulled out my rifle & sent him to Jesus :blink:

If you've had that horse long enough, all you need to do is whistle. It should throw that horse rustler right off, and that's when the knife comes into play. Happy trails.
P.S. I've finally caved and upgraded to Gold for a $1 this month. I'll have to join the posse. Those 12 year olds were pwning, me as they would say, as I rode out on my donkey. "Hold on, lemme blast that guy on the donkey again". So, I've you see a Bullseye71 out there, let his donkey be.

Send a friend request to EDTortuga. I've got a couple non-FR friends that have been playing together most evenings. Anyone else is welcome to join in too.
We discovered last night that you can launch a FFA or other multiplayer games on a private server using your posse. That means playing with up to 8 decent folks who aren't 12 year old kids cursing and bragging. You can also complete PVP challenges this way.

Haha, when the happen to me the first time. I was like WTH? Then I shot him in the back. ^_^
Its not Red Dead Redemption, but it'll do well enough for me...
leadandgold.com
Does it make sense to play as a outlaw? With all of John's dialogue, it seems to me that he is on the path of redemption. Of course the title reflects that but I have also read how you can take him back on the path of his outlaw past. If you do that, does the dialogue reflect that? Does he say different things if you play him as a outlaw?
up for a PS3 Posse, PSN: Synthos84
Finally got this game and played a little last night and this morning, it looks amazing.
I'm having a hard time controlling my horse though, always end up ramming into trees and walls and going way off trails.

When I first got the game, I killed a group of Marshals when I rammed them trying to stop. Had a huge bounty on my head. Took me awhile to get the hang of controlling the horses.
Finished it. What a great ending. Unlike any ending of any game I've ever played. Can't say much else without spoiling it.
Bring on the DLC.

Did the game trick you at times as it did me? Several times I thought the story was over but it continued on. You are right about the ending. Best game I have ever played.
The latest patch for the 360 finally enabled me to unlock the Deadly Assassin outfit too. :thumbup: Now it's time for my second play through and for John to terrorize the West.

rent the game yesterday so fairly new to the game but apparently you can play multiplayer with a silver account. which means i can join up for a posse.
course it may be that it's just a free gold membership this weekend which I think I heard something about.
Either way, have the game till Monday. Will definitely be buying it soon and will be available to join up for posses.
This looks awesome! :cool:

Hey Tortuga and Courtnall, get mics and headsets please. Makes playing with you guys on multiplayer so much easier.
Same goes for anyone else playing multi-player on RDR!!

I have one. I could hear what you guys were saying...but for what ever reason... none of you could hear me. :(
I'll have to check out my mic settings again.
I had my mic and headset on. Not sure why you wouldn't have heard me -- I was sure some people were responding to my witty banter :P . Maybe I wasn't signed into the game's chat channel... Hmm.

I dunno. Couldn't hear you guys. But I could tell you could hear us, Court.
Anyone else here playing RDR multi-player still?
I could hear you guys...but not Court, I don't think. I could especially hear that annoying buzz that eventually became a soothing buzz.

I heard the buzzing too...but I think it was someone else in the posse. I can't remember his name...but his "now talking graphic" in the players tab was maxed and constant during the buzzing.
His name was something like BLIZUNIT. Like Court said, his icon was on and wasn't stopping until someone else in the posse suggested that everyone unplug and replug in their mics. Once he did that, it stopped.
GRATZ to Rockstar for making the game of the year! They sure as hell deserved it :blink:
