This is the most overrated game I have ever played in my life! Bored almost the whole time playing it. Not my type of game at all.

the "horrible port" is only a drop in resolution, which coincidentally is higher than the resolution of say, HALO 3, and MODERN WARFARE 2. . .so according to you, the "worst port ever" on ps3 is right up with those games? and has 100 more lines of rez than alan wake, too, cuz we all know how 540p made that the worst game on 360, right? idiot

For some reason, I don't even believe that you've played the game.

I'm at 99.2% completion, level 12 online, I just need to finish off 3 more bounty locations in Nuevo Paraiso and get one more outfit and I think I'm done the single player.

I wasn't even talking about the quality of the graphics as some above have mentioned, but there are lots of issues there as well. Massive pop in, objects and NPCs floating or submerged below the terrain, random flashes of white pixels on the screen, sudden huge shifts in light levels that are not related to changes in time of day, NPCs getting stuck inside objects/terrain etc.

But I was referring to game play issues, such as the flakey controls, the game not allowing me to fire at times, randomly being shot at by friendly NPCs, randomly breaking the law without actually doing anything, stage coaches getting stuck in trees, bounty targets disappearing after you kill them such that there is no way to loot the body etc. There are just a whole host of problems with the game.

There was a mission with John and Seth in a wagon that I actually skipped because the AI was so broken that it could not be completed. The enemy were ramming their horses into the wagon and knocking it over, I was failing the mission within 5 seconds of restarting. I failed about a dozen times before giving up. Yesterday I went back and did it as it was my last uncompleted mission and I finished it first try with no deaths.

The game is good, but with so many problems I can't possibly consider it great. Plus the story was far too predictable.

if anyone has the same problem, i finally found a fix thanks to a suggestion from an XBL friend.

1. Exit from the mission to dashboard
2. Go to System Settings in dash and Clear System Cache
3. Reload game (and cross your fingers)

kind of off topic, i know... but i couldn't find a fix for a week and didn't see anything really online anywhere, posting here so maybe this might help others.

now that i can play again, my love for the game has definitely returned.
