I havent played enough to be turned off by any annoyances just yet. It does bother both my girlfriend and I however that John is voiced by a no name Bill Paxton soundalike. Why not just get Bill Paxton to do the voice? He cant be that expensive.

Bubbles for mentioning Pax man... He's one of my favorite craptastic actors ever!

MGRogue20175851d ago (Edited 5851d ago )

.. There is no reason at all to hate Red Dead Redemption, Ya I'm serious, It's a fantastic game :)

Can i haz bubblez??? :D

mikeslemonade5851d ago (Edited 5851d ago )

My gripes:
1. Auto-aiming
2. Mediocre graphics
3. PS3 version is 644p
4. Uninteresting atmosphere( screw fallout 3 and these boring and drab empty enviroments) (I want a bustling city)

theEXPATRIATED5851d ago

This is one major turnoff for me too! I haven't picked it up, but this feature makes me not want to :/

bjornbear5851d ago

4. Uninteresting atmosphere( screw fallout 3 and these boring and drab empty enviroments) (I want a bustling city)

then why are you playing RDR, go play GTAIV

3. PS3 version is 644p

how is that bad? how on EARTH does that deter from the gameplay and experience?

auto-aim i believe can be turned off (or maybe just in multiplayer)

mediocre graphics well, thats subjective but i think it looks great =)

Keanu7775851d ago

I hate all the haters of this game!

Nike5851d ago

Pretty sure that's how the GTAIV fanatacism started.

BeaArthur5851d ago

haha, I've been waiting for someone to point that out. Everyone loved GTA4 and then they all hated it. I liked GTA4 and I'm sure I will like this as well.

bjornbear5851d ago

i'll be very surprised, if i like it more, i'll be in heaven!

i expect to like it more...

mal_tez925850d ago

If I liked Red Dead Revolver, but HATED GTA IV, will I like this?

Szarky5851d ago

How is the auto-aim? Is it fine, annoying? It's been too long since GTA IV for me to remember. That's the only thing really holding me back right now of getting it. SP wouldn't be so bad but multiplayer I would think you wouldn't want it at all.

ThatArtGuy5851d ago

You can turn off auto-aim. In GTA4 you can set your online preferences to turn off auto-aim as well, so you'll never join games with it on.

Pennywise5851d ago

I wish someone could clarify how auto aim works in MP. I know I can turn mine off, but can I create a room with NO autoaim for anyone?

Pennywise5851d ago

+ Bubbles for you Monk3y. Thank you.

electricshadow5851d ago (Edited 5851d ago )

Wow, the game came out today and people are hating it already? That didn't take long. I'm picking my copy up in half and hour and I'm so excited.

-Alpha5851d ago

In order to get an article recognized you have to be controversial at times. Take a popular game, and hate on it. That'll get attention!

I'm sure there are some annoyances with RDR. Hate is probably a strong word, but it's catchy for the title. I prefer to look at this article as 5 problems that RDR has. I like reading these articles because they are more realistic. I know how GREAT RDR is but now I want to know what problems linger.

I know auto-aim was a big issue back in GTA IV, I'm hoping it's fixed in RDR. I heard you also spawn next to enemies in Multiplayer which is uber-lame.

himdeel5851d ago (Edited 5851d ago )

...on both points. One it's easier to get an article approved if it has a wee bit of controversy. That being said EVERY game has some annoyances or some subtle...hmm nuances that make you wonder why they did this or why didn't they fix that. It's the nature of games in general.

Also auto aim in GTA4 was bogus and I equally hope that once I get home and pop RDR in and turn auto aim off it's gunplay isn't a pain and a half to deal with.

EDIT: I also wouldn't say that they are hating on a game because they don't like something about it. I hated that in Killzone 2 it felt like Sev was really short but it didn't "break" the game for me or make it less enjoyable.

Brewski0075851d ago

I hate it because i havent got it yet. !! Damn you european release dates!!!

Red Dead Redemption Hits 3.3 Million Netflix Downloads on Mobile

Red Dead Redemption hits 3.3 million Netflix downloads on mobile, underscoring how subscription access drives reach over paid sales.

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?!’

Alek83130d 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.

darthv72132d ago

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

Lionsguard131d ago

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

TheColbertinator131d 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_drake131d 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

Petebloodyonion164d 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.

Hypertension140164d ago (Edited 164d ago )

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