just rented it, i feel like it gets pretty old pretty quick
I somewhat agree. I think its really slow in some points of the game, such as the rafting adventure into Mexico, following anybody on a mission, etc. Some parts of the game just seem to drag on. Other than that I'm thoroughly enjoying the game right now. The storyline seems pretty good so far as well.
As far as GOTY goes, it should be nominated but I don't see it beating out ME2 at this point. Not to mention the other GOTY canidates still to come out in Gaylo: Reach Around, Fallout: New Vegas and COD: Black Cock Ops. One of those 5 games should win GOTY in my opinion.
The 30 minute short film, created and directed by John Hillcoat (the director of The Proposition and The Road), chronicles a slice-in-time of protagonist John Marston as he tracks down his former fellow outlaw and friend, Bill Williamson. Along the way, Marston encounters many of Red Dead Redemption's eclectic cast of dreamers, misfits and liars.
Using the world of Red Dead Redemption as a virtual film studio and created entirely with in-game assets and technology, Hillcoat re-imagines Marston's pursuit of justice and salvation.
RDR definitely has a legit shot as GOTY, to say otherwise is a tad foolish.
With that said, there is another Rockstar game coming out later this year called "L.A. Noire" which could be even better than RDR.
Check it out.
I agree it definitely has a shot and it will be nominated. If it does get GOTY it's b/c of it's somewhat innovative online structure. I think the way their online community is setup will set the bar and possibly the standard for online gaming to come.
But to say that RDR is on the same level as ME2 that's stretching it a little bit. JMHO.
I haven't heard of L.A. Noire, is it a spin off of GTA or is it a mobster type game?
I was trying to play online, I didnt see anyone in the Lobby. It felt like I was the only one there, I got bored.
DO I need to form groups with friends and then join the lobby or everyone that plays the game is in the lobby?
SOMEONE ANSWER THIS! !!@#! lol
