Those are pretty awesome, I wonder if they'll stick them in the Rockstar store.

I'd love to play this game but I probably won't be getting a PS3 until next week. I loved the first one, though, and even if this one is more like GTA that's not really a bad thing.

I've been playing this game for most of today. Gotta say I love every bit of it. I also spent an hour playing Texas Hold 'Em, I was determined to be the last one at the table, which I was. And then I discovered Dirty Dice, and now I'm a very rich man. Also, if I didn't have the Duster outfit then I might look into getting new outfits and seeing how they look. However I do have the Duster outfit, and there isn't much more that I could want (except that second outfit that has the duster silhouette).

Also my XBL Gamertag is Hyperion MBD, so feel free to add me if you wanna posse up. Azisien I'll send you a friend request next time I'm on my 360.

Edit -- The one nitpick I have though is that there's no decent music while riding your horse. Now don't get me wrong, I was enjoying the ambient music and long stretches of silence, up until I first got into Mexico. At that point an awesome song starts up (it had lyrics too) as you ride along the edge of a cliff next to the river, and everything else gets a little quieter so you can better hear the music. I loved the whole scene but unfortunately the music stopped the instant I got off my horse, and I just wish there was some way I could get it back.

Just make sure to leave a note on if you're from NPF or not if you try to add me to XBL. I sometimes get random 9 year olds from Halo (which I don't even play) trying to add me. Alternatively, I guess I'll figure it out if your tag is similar to NPF user name.

I am really enjoying the game, though I'm accumulating a few little nitpicks. I'm not overly happy with the collision physics in the game. I guess I'm a bit spoiled but everything collision in GTAIV was awesome. In RDR it seems like if I run into a rock with my horse, the horse just teleports on top of it and wigs out a bit. I've seen a few people get teleported like 300 feet in the air in a random bug I hope they patch that one.

I was wrangling horses and I wasn't able to get clothes-lined by the ropes we used to drag the broken horses back to stable. All slight disappointments, considering so much has been invested in like, ragdoll and such.

So free roam with a bunch of random people is a total mess. First off nobody ever forms a posse, or wants to join a posse. They all seem content with just running around shooting each other, but whenever someone tries to initiate an FFA game nobody seems to join. Also, 90% of the time we're shooting at each other with invisible weapons because the guns never ever load. Actual versus matches don't have this problem though, which is good.

Also, earlier today I was playing a free roam in Blackwater, which I don't have unlocked in the Single Player yet, and I wanted to go explore the hills. So I started to ride away and then all of a sudden me and my horse turn invisible, and stayed like that for a good 30 seconds.

So yeah there's some loading issues with the free roam, at least on the 360.

Azisien · 05-19-2010, 02:26 PM

Some connection issues too. Had a posse going with some friends last night and one by one we all got booted.

And when I say booted, I mean it reset our modems.

My gamertag is Yumil

My major nitpick is that when you are disconnected off the multiplayer it throws you straight into single player. So I have to see a loading screen or 2 more than I would of if it thrown me to the menu and I load up multiplayer again, it's rather annoying.

Why the fuck is everyone saying five finger fillet is easy it is hard as shit and it's pissing me off I don't even know what's going on.

Azisien · 05-19-2010, 05:14 PM

It's probably a volume issue for multiplayer. Same thing happened to GTAIV. They sorted it out within a week or two.

Solid Snake · 05-19-2010, 07:34 PM

I just decided this would be my eighth and final game purchase for my new PS3.
...Just ran out and bought it. Will be trying it out later tonight. At one point or another, every PS3 user here at NPF who owns this game is going to join a multiplayer experience and it will be awesome.

Yes! Another PS3 owner huzzah!
