spoiler alert would be nice next time, pal

I got a deck of cards with my purchase. At least I can play something RDR related until my 360 comes back!

man the reviews are so positive on this...

it's really fun, so far. lots of hunting and fighting off gangs.

only complaint is the bounty system. seems like it will take the fun out of being a villain, but i have yet to fully test it.

Rented the game this morning and I just played it for four or five hours straight. The game is fantastic and fun etc but I don't think I can afford to give this game the thirty or forty hours it deserves and for that I feel old and ashamed. :-(

i thought jim was taking a kebab for a stroll. and i live in glasgow.

they showed a trailer for this during 3.10 TO YUMA on C5 on sunday

Pissed this ain't out for PC for probably another year. How's the sound?

I was off on the first mission and afterwards some dude comes upon me getting attacked by a pack of wild dogs. I shot him to death on accident.

What's the verdict on this game? PS3 or 360? Is the online any good? Worth waiting for? I can play it now if I get the 360 version but if I was going to get PS3, which is where I do my online, I'd have to wait.

i think i'm gonna get this for ps3 today unless somebody convinces me 360 is a better choice

360 has better framerate and crisper graphics (for some reason, Rockstar locked the PS3 at 640p, not the 720p of the 360), PS3 has some free extra outfits like a tophat, and my friends are really surprised by the fun of the online game (they're on the 360, BTW).

TOPHAT

some dude comes upon me

Not the game I was expecting.

but no white tie or tails. :(

why is the colour space so incredibly different?

a little suspicious tbh

im betting someone just snapped a photo of their screen, that would explain it

same tv? same camera?

xp heh

one looks like a screenshot, the other looks like a digital photo.

yeah, one's a direct capture the other's a cellcam pic off an SD tv

of the nds version

at dusk

you can't ride the horse on 360? shit

yeah, no triangle button i guess.

unfortunate I guess but there's got to be some trade-off for those extra pixels

One of those pictures is in diffuse cloudy light, and the other is in direct starlight.

one of those horses has built up "relationship points" with the user, the other hasn't

one of those horses has denied your friend request, the other hasnt

uhhh what is a horse all i see is a transport

all i see is a relationship

PS3 shot was snapped from the back of a passing horse

I wish I were playing this right now. They claimed they shipped out my Xbox on Monday, but UPS hasn't shown any pick-up activity yet (only billing information received). Maybe I'll luck out and get it by the weekend.

vote forks compiles and uploads a custom soundtrack for this

Only if soundtrack is as well curated as that Fallout 3 soundtrack someone (forks? someone) made here a bit ago.

Forks made it. It had some real nice tracks on it.

trying to exert impulse control on this one but man i am having a hard time doing so, esp since i feel like price drops on this are going to be like a million years from now, judging by the effusive praise its getting.

thought it might come in the mail today, it didn't. makes me feel like when I was 11 and lived overseas and ordered this:

and it took like 6 months for me to get it. or maybe it just felt like 6 months.

memories lasted a lifetime tho

Does PS3 version support custom soundtracks? If not maybe that will be my decider

it does yup

i am so inordinately excited about this that i will do something drastic if i'm disappointed by it: i.e. bitch on this thread.

this game is sitting right in front of me but there is no xbox to play it on b/c of bloody rrod. next time my 360 gets rrod, putting it out of warranty, i'm just getting a ps3. fuck this shit.
