Go give money to these people.

Really? I thought the graphics looked kinda icky on the commercials. Plus, I haven't heard word on the combat system... is it just your basic 3rd person, over-the-shoulder thing? :O

Yeah, that does look pretty sexy. I think I'm just doubtful when it comes to graphics, I've bought too many games only to find out the developers' screenshots were doctored. >>

But this does look pretty sick. I was never a GTA fan, but for some reason the Wild West theme is appealing. I haven't seen it done this well before. I might go buy this today. XD

If you need a second, slightly less enthralled opinion (http://www.gametrailers.com/video/review-hd-red-dead/100286)....

I'm only a PC nerd because Amiga died. >_<

That...only reinforces your point though, I guess.

I don't understand, do you intend that as negative? Because, dammit, I earned my gray hairs and whatnot.

I just prefer a gaming platform that doesn't say: "Hello. I am a member of a increasingly large group of people who have decided that we will accept with docility the standardized pablum handed out by EA, Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony."

I choose to rebel. I choose to be unique. I choose to build my own, to forge my own destiny, to create new paradigms of gaming!

I crash. A lot.

It's awesome.

It's got the "hide behind shit" of GoW that everything has now.

It's great.

Also did I mention it's great?

BUY THE FUCKING GAME OR WE WILL FUCKING COME TO YOUR HOME AND BEAT YOU!!!


.....I mean it's really good. You should buy it.

....why are you all looking at me like that?


--As an aside, I've been trying to play RDR lately but it's been fucking breaking into my event shit in EVE. DX

It does look like awesome, and I do have a 360 so no :PConly: issues for me...

Except that because the said 360 was first batch from 2005, it crapped out in 2009, and I never replaced it.
