Can't wait for this, mainly the multi, suprised on how many of my buds who only play FIFA are grabbing it to roll round in a possie.

One of the issues I had with GTAIV's online play was that there was no player synergy when it came to the aiming difficulty.

Anyone know if everyone will be playing on their own settings again, or if games will be forced into certain modes? I found it a little lame that I had to turn on cheese-mode auto-lock in order to not get lambasted in GTA...


Otherwise, this thread totally has me jacked to receive my copy, with some golden guns!

Amazing op. I can't wait to get my hands on this! I'm looking forward especially to finding treaure. I'm very curious as to see what kinds of loot there'll be.

Pretty sure they've been more vague about that recently

There's no reason at all not to believe that figure considering how much less dense rural settings are than urban. One of the reasons the San Andreas map is so huge is due to the countryside.

Still the wild west only a few years before World War I... pretty cool!

Hopefully I can pick this up around release!

One more typo, Goldrusher:

Under Hunting >>> Criminals >>> it says: 'dear or alive'. I guess it was a Freudian slip up ? :D

consider me scared


But serious. Not saying it will be bad but I thought GTA 4 was way overhyped too. That's why I'm a bit more modest concerning Rockstar games.

Wait you aim and shoot with L2/R2 for PS3 !!

Please tell me you can swap them for L1/R1.
Click to expand...
Yeah, that is one of the things I am worried about, I thought most devs were past forcing R2 for shooting.

works great with the trigger add-ons

But thats the thing, I have those and I still prefer the L1/R1 over the the triggers. I just really hope you can change that.

This game was kind of under my radar... so I know very little about it. Please don't get offended, but is this game very similar to GTA IV, just in a different setting? I couldn't really get into GTA IV, but the setting seems more appealing to me here.

Wow, awesome work on the OT.
I believe there are also planes in the game, though I'm not sure if you can fly them.

I don't have them, but I simply prefer the location of L1/R1. I hate using my index finger on L2/R2, and if I am playing a shooter, I like to use the index finger! :D

Inspired by the proposition? Awesome. Gonna watch the wild bunch before release, never seen it.

Wow! Wish i could be in your shoes. The first time i saw "the wild bunch" is a great memory. Such a killer film. Peckinpah is the man.

Anyways, outstanding thread. I had no idea the "limited" edition from gamestop included all of the preorder bonuses. that is great news.

All of Rockstar's open-world games have followed the same sort of template, including Bully. RDR has the same type of mission structure (distinct from the actual missions themselves) as GTAIV and a lot of other games where you complete missions around the map to progress the story and unlock more missions. That and the game's engine are probably where the real similarities end.

Can't wait. I've been going through TBOGT since I missed it at launch. Curious to see how much better RDR looks to R*'s last outing.

Cool, thanks. I'll probably keep this game in mind, if I ever clear out my backlog...

Great thread. I'll be buying the game later since I want to work on my backlog before getting yet another game to add to the pile. I'm not a fan of the preorder bonuses for this game though, I have to say. Seems like they're really useful and affect gameplay quite a bit. :/

Have to agree on this. First one might make the game easier, the second one kinda removes the idea of finding (or unlocking) better horses. Why not something just pure aesthetic?
