Just revisited the game "Gun"

So, here I am, finding myself desperately waiting on Brink. Played through this, played through that....what's this!? "Gun", let's blow the dust off of this oldie and see what it was that made me buy this game in the first place. Wow! So, we know that "Red Dead Redemption" was a follow-up to the less-spectacular "Red Dead Revolver".....but in truth, the two games were so far apart in respects of gameplay, fun, and value (let alone graphics), would anyone have really known that they were connected? That asked, when we take a closer look at "Gun"....there isn't a doubt in my mind that the developers that worked on RDR were fans of "Gun" at a religous level.....if you liked RDR and haven't played "Gun", you must. This isn't a review for the game, but it's a reminder of just how good of a game that "Gun" really was, it is the game that RDR sequeled in spirit....

"blog posts are allowed to be short and sweet"
...just like GUN.

Great game, its not much of an investment either so if people want to play it on a whim, they should. I think its 10-20 hours, and plays really fast paced even though its "open world". Felt arcade-like, even.

For a lot of people thats better so they continue with their busy lives and at the same time have a good time enjoying some gaming sessions! :)

Red Dead Redemption was more like a sequel to Gun than Red Dead Revolver. Anyone that has played both Red Deads knows that they are two totally different type of games.

Phi395825489d ago

You're correct! I would much more hope that someone who has only played RDR read this and go and grab "Gun". Its a good experience if you haven't tried it. Peace......

Gun is a great game no doubt, but to say Red Dead Revolver is less spectacular than Red Dead Redemption is a bit stupid. Red Dead Revolver was a fantastic game, whereas Redemption is more like GTA in the wild west. It really felt exactly like GTA IV, from the graphics, to the bugs and glitches, the shooting mechanics etc.. Revolver was more of a fun, wacky type of game that didn't need to be open world, or realistic. Redemption is a good game, I just don't think it deserved all the hype and awards it got. Gun however is a fantastic game, and so is Red Dead Revolver.

dinkeldinkse5489d ago

Gun and Revolver are fantastic games. I am still kind of dissapointed that Redemption is not a Revolver 2. That is basically the reason why I did not buy Redemption.

Faztkiller5489d ago

Gun is amazing I really want a sequel RDR was great but I like GUN more

Kingdom Come5489d ago

A great, very much deserving of a sequel, game. I myself wrote a Blog Post about the rumoured sequel...

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit5d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing5d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster925d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
