Red Dead Redemption - A new game from Rockstar

Bottom post of the previous page:

The Gamespot review gave it 9/10 though and if you watch it, it seems to expose a few legit niggles.



I really want to get it but have so many other games to finish that I know I'm better off getting it later once the price drops a bit.

Story spoilers in that review too. I've never heard such a negative review end up with a 9/10.

At the moment of writing, it's the highest rated game of all time on Metacritic, for both consoles (97/100).

Guardian: 5/5.

after a week of intense work, I have set aside this afternoon to play RDR2!

just about to open the package and inserting the disc.

I have been looking forward to this all week.
Can't wait

The game is nothing short of amazing. It's the most immersive open world game yet. R* really knocked this one out of the ballpark.

turned to nothing. There was an update which downloaded all afternoon, and by the time the game was playable, F1 was on

and now another week filled with meetings. Although Thursday is off (Catholic holiday).

does the horse have a radio? and if yes, how can I turn it on?

finished the story (around 62 hours) on friday. ending was quite different but not unexpected.

the moment arthur said thank you to his horse before it died was probably the saddest thing ive seen in a game.

@Metzo

I'm not quite finished yet, I've

reached Beaver Hollow, and just attacked the oil fields with Eagle Flies and the rest of the gang. I do think we're going to hit Saint Denis some time soon.

Sean's death was sad. Arthur's tuberculosis too. It'll be interesting to see how they tie it together.Seeing Colm O'Driscoll swing was every bit as satisfying as I thought it would be.

This is every bit as awesome as the first game was. They way R* develops the charachters during the course of the game is fantastic.

Can't wait to finish the game, as I've been very careful not to bump into any story spoilers so far.

Ending spoilers:

Well. I finished the game. I got the good ending, with the deer staring into the sunset, the one you get if your honor is maxed out. Micah didn't kill Arthur.

Like you said, the moment when the horse died, that was... Wow. What a moment.

Arthur Morgan is by far the best protagonist I've ever seen in a video game. R* did a fantastic job with the characters, again. You really start caring for them. Well, most of them.

Playing the epilogue now. I hope I can continue on with the stranger missions.

[Metzo]

some of the stranger missions arent available after chapter 6. thankfully i made several manuel savings before.

Damn shame. There seems to be quite a few available though. I've yet to find the KKK, the Night folk, and the man who wants to...er...rape me.

Also:

I need to go to therapy after completing this now. I'm still mourning Arthur's death. Seeing Micah dead made up for it somewhat, but still, never been so emotionally invested in a character before.

Arthur's final ride back to camp, with the music playing, the sepia-toned screen, may be one of the most beautiful scenes ever made. And that's counting movies as well. I had goosebumps all over.
