Weird, I was just wondering if I should buy RDR and came looking for reviews and previews. First thing I see is "Why you should buy RDR".

Wildlife was one thing missing from all the GTA games. They should have at least had dogs and police dogs, but in parks they should have varied it up. In Canada we have police on horses, I don't know about the states. Shooting a cop off a horse and riding it around in GTA would have been phat!

Thanks, but no thanks. I wouldn't buy RDR if it got an 11/10 in a every review. The Wildwest theme isn't for me.

e3kehoe5866d ago

Why bother posting/ reading about it

poindat5866d ago

Unfortunate, but understandable. I think for me, it is the opposite: it's been such a long time since there has been a decent wild west themed game, let alone with this much freedom, exploration, and detail. Just the fact that it is based in the wild west makes me excited for it. I'm always looking for new worlds to explore (which is why I absolutely love open-world games), and this is certainly something new for me.

You should at least rent the game though. You never know, despite your dislike towards the general theme, the gameplay could end up grabbing you.

deadreckoning6665866d ago (Edited 5866d ago )

@e3- I wanted to give my opinion. Mine wasn't positive or negative. It was adverse...hence, an adverse opinion, an opinion stating that I don't care. Look it up when u get a chance :)

@poindat- Well, I agree that the gameplay may grab me but I'd rather hold out till Rockstar makes a game that matches(or surpasses) the fun, versatility, and freedom of GTA: San Andreas, hopefully Agent will do this. Not saying RDR is bad, but a modern setting would give me more options(tanks, planes, modern weapons, boats, jets, cars)

Nolando5866d ago

the reason i will buy it is because it seems to be a western done right!... for people who like westerns ;)

i think it'll be pretty good, just wish i could afford it .

Cevapi885866d ago

i remember the same articles that did the exact same thing for gta IV....remember one of them being realism, and now it seems to have become a con in the game...how about just letting gamers decide if they want it or not...everyone has their own personal taste and some will find RDR more fun and engaging than others...

MGRogue20175866d ago (Edited 5866d ago )

I have already bought it.. It just isn't in the store for me to pick up & buy lol

If I'm interested then I will buy it plain and simple and I believe that should be the reason gamers buy their games in general if its whether they like it or not. I like what I see so I'm gonna rent it then buy it. I believe thats the best way to do things.

Alcohog5866d ago

Wow. That was terribly written lol...

xtremexx5866d ago (Edited 5866d ago )

i know lol but im 13 and im not great at english :(

by the way i own the website lol

poindat5866d ago

You know, normally I would say that you should mature before becoming involved in such matters... but damn, the best I could do at 13 was make a Xanga profile, haha. Props to you for the effort.

Rucury5866d ago

It's weird. I feel the need to say "You're 13? Get out." but what comes out is "I'm 15. Good job."

Keep doing what you are doing, I guess.

bjornbear5866d ago

at 13 i played with web design and failed...

then again, i was 13 almost a decade ago, the tools were worst, but still, good job =)

still, work on them writing skills!

divideby05866d ago

Replayability and Value are why you should buy this game IF you like these open types of games..

Doc Sony5866d ago

I'm gonna buy this to do my part and add to the amount it sold on the PS3, probably won't even play it.

ALFAxD_CENTAURO5866d ago

What kind of ''player'' do that?

R_aVe_N5866d ago

lol I think I have done that in some way. I have bought games and still haven't gotten around to playing them, but that was not the reason i bought them. Still funny though 8)

More like people don't play these type of games on their phone normally and don't try them out. Not like the places where people do play these games haven't crushed those numbers easily.

How many people actually played more than an hour of the game or came close to finishing it on mobile is the real question. If people aren't playing the games to a point that is purposeful, then why try when a subscription that is behind a streaming service isn't a sign of success but just curiosity.

What if Netflix becomes ‘the Netflix of gaming?!’

Alek83143d ago

I downloaded it because I already have a Netflix sub.
I am not going to buy it for $40 or whatever it costs on Google Play.

I tried it out and will be sticking to the PC version, but it's not bad.

Having said that, this is the issues I see vs the PC version:
1. Greatly reduced texture resolution.
2. Massive downgrade ALL lighting quality (this includes water, shadows, etc).
3. Stutter and heat. Prolonged play leads to both.
On the plus side, we have:
4. This thing is like 6GB vs the 12 on Steam.

Great way to try the game, but not the best way to play it.

darthv72145d ago

Perhaps Netflix will make a RDR series now that ST is done with.

Lionsguard144d ago

A Netflix version of RDR?... Oh boy... I can't wait... /s

TheColbertinator143d ago

They should build a production that includes members behind the True Grit remake and Hell on Wheels from AMC. Both were perfect for wild west vibes.

gold_drake143d ago

but i doubt people ACTUALLY played it on smartphone vs tried it out.

Another free update...good to know but I don't own a series X

Petebloodyonion177d ago

I’m not sure what the exact issue is. I had no trouble getting the free update—you basically get the new game for free if you have the 360 version in your digital library. Maybe the problem is related to owning or not owning the Undead DLC expansion.

Hypertension140176d ago (Edited 176d ago )

Yea I think thats what it is. I also own the game but not the expansion, and im unable to download the update.
