Can anyone point out the signs of a midlife crisis? I just ordered a new recliner set and speakers based solely on the anticipation of playing this game for the first time. Too much info. Might have to quit my job Saturday to free up time, but hell that's been on the table regardless.

I just got it today. Only had time enough to download everything. Everyone in the store was much younger than me, felt strange

I've been playing for what seems an age and only on 21%.

What are you supposed to do when you accidentally shoot someone. I leave town but they're still hunting for me.

The riding in missions drags.

Do you get challenged to draws in this? Haven't as yet

If you shoot someone get outta town asap and wait for the heat to die down, you should be alright

I've only been challenged to one duel so far, used to happen quite regularly in the first game, I reckon it could be something to do with my character being a nice guy

I had a couple of duels in the interview the gun slingers for a book side mission. I blew their brains out. The woman was nice and I helped her, but the other chaps got wasted.

First impression his voice bugs me

. Sounds like a middle age follower compared to first game. And the trigger seems like you have to hold it down and your first companion cannot be shot from behind.

Yes, he is no John Marston. I actually prefer the original RDR so far. The new one is nice but it is clunky and Mark is right that you spend hours on a horse just holding the X button. After Spiderman and the smoothness and fantastic controls this is a bit annoying sometimes. Rockstar needs to improve its control system. I couldn't give a hoot about petting a horse or changing clothes for weather either. I'm a wild man I can take the cold. In real life too. This isn't The Sims. I never played those kinds of games.
