1UP: Red Dead Redemption Review

"This is simply a beautiful game, and it's provided more than a few moments where I completely forgot where the hell I was supposed to be going while riding over golden hills at sunset or through the desert in the middle of a nighttime lightning storm. It doesn't quite convey the loneliness of the real empty spaces, but does compress the essence of all the varieties of land and weather native to those parts into a few hundred miles ride."

Wow I didn't know this game would get such good reviews, obviously need to pick it up, TBA I hadn't even heard of it until recently :O

MGRogue20175858d ago (Edited 5858d ago )

Good thing you heard about it then.. :)

But then again, It would simply be impossible to miss a game like this. Only way you could miss this is if you were dead/not alive

WhittO5857d ago (Edited 5857d ago )

haha I know, can't believe hadn't even known anything about this game at all, I prob saw the title and thought it was a crap Multi-plat or something without looking into it lol.

Dellis5858d ago (Edited 5858d ago )

This game is trash, you die if you go into the water how pathetic is that? lol.

bjornbear5858d ago (Edited 5858d ago )

that in the 19th century most people didn't know how to swim

but thats the reality

we take swimming for granted now days, back then more than half of the inland population didn't know how to swim, especially if they were surrounded by desert

i think it was a conscious design decision to add to the atmosphere of the western world.

if you watch enough westerns, you'll notice many "cowboys" didn't know how to swim...

+ how does that make the game trash? picky much?

I hope say your comment is a pathetic cry for attention,because if its not,you most have a few bolts missing on that heat of yours.

RedSky5858d ago (Edited 5858d ago )

Delete.

RedSky5858d ago (Edited 5858d ago )

The best part about these kind of comments is somehow all the thing that people have gotten used to are okay. Being able to 'renegerate' health in a few seconds in FPSs is okay, just like not having to replace a whole clip to reload is okay but god forbid anyone would limit your gameplay in any way I'm not used to!

And FYI, I have no clue if this game is any good, I'm just allergic to hypocritical idiocy.

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?!’

Alek83136d 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.

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

Lionsguard137d ago

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

TheColbertinator137d 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_drake137d 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

Petebloodyonion170d 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.

Hypertension140170d ago (Edited 170d ago )

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