Red Dead Redemption - anyone playing ?

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.

I might have to buy Farming Simulator next.

Yep the changing clothes and looking after your core is bollocks – don’t mind looking after health bar and dead eye core but would be handy if it is something you can switch off if you just cba with all that and want a different experience.

Did a mission this morning and took about 40 minutes – would have been quicker but on my way to it I helped a woman who’s horse had died and she wanted a ride to Emerald Ranch. Ten minutes out of my fucking way with pointless chat and annoyed the fuck out of me (yes I know I shouldn’t have helped her).

Will probably just concentrate on the main yellow storylines now. No fishing, hunting etc and I’m growing a beard ffs

This whole thing has made me pay more attention to video game stocks. I’m looking at ten cent which I beleive owns rock star games. When red dead redemption 2 came out the stock jumped 10 bucks in one day. I can’t say I love the stock it’s valuation is higher than I like but not too bad compared to the likes of Netflix and other tech stocks. People who know better than me are saying these types of companies can overtake Hollywood some day. I don’t know if any of u follow these stocks but if so I’d love to hear

I am forever losing my hat!

And sh-t I have stowed on my horse.

Also my horse got killed, got by a train I think. I'm back to riding Tennessee Williams again.

About 27% through story so far.

Finally at the very beginning, feel like I'm forgetting half of the tutorial commands once they disappear . Basically just running laps in snow to build stamina and not sure what other stats can be built up through repetition. Horse bonding . Game logic always gets me, you kill 7,8 wolves leave them there only to get back to 'starving' camp where you have to go hunt a deer. Bit like Fallout..search and collect all items. Everything.

Sounds like we are at the same part. I just started hunting. Time is definitely going to be an issue with this game.

Thinking it's more of a prologue as it's pretty lineal but dragging. Sure it will open shortly. Not sure what save options are but so far do not see them?
