Massive PS3 Red Dead shortage hits UK

"copies available almost everywhere" isn't really a "massive shortage"

gives websites a chance to say RED DEAD REDEMPTION again, more hits.

sorry dude but that is worse than the time jeff lepine didn't buy uncharted 2 for three years
I've also yet to pick up RDR! I know I started this hype thread, but lately I'm unsure if I really want to play through a long single player game, especially right now. And multiplayer with auto-aim isn't something I can get into. Also too many games I already own at the moment that I'm enjoying (Bad Company 2, various CoD games, TF2, various racing games) or haven't had the time to even get into (like SSFIV).

multiplayer is p.fun; didn't think I'd touch it tbh but I've just whittled away the afternoon playing the co-op instances and levelling up my donkey

BRB LEVELLIN' MY DONKEYgod i gotta go buy this today
― forksclovetofu, Friday, 21 May 2010 17:53 (fourteen years ago) link
just a heads up jim, make sure tesco don't charge you full whack despite buying it w/a voucher. read some other reports that they've been funny buggers charging full price w/RDR for some reason
― leck mich im arshavin (cozen), Friday, 21 May 2010 18:41 (fourteen years ago) link
this game is gorgeous
― leck mich im arshavin (cozen), Friday, 21 May 2010 21:35 (fourteen years ago) link
the writing is incredible too; the dialogue is pin sharp and so well acted
― leck mich im arshavin (cozen), Friday, 21 May 2010 21:53 (fourteen years ago) link
I've been preaching for massive multiplayer games to have minigames like poker forever (I haven't played RDR so I'll see how it stacks). Ideally I would have a saloon where you could have chat consoles pop up for the whole place and/or a specific table (so I guess my mmo would be a computer game). Ideally the poker would be texas hold 'em and there would be other games like darts too. Lots of gambling
I might buy this game tonight (even though I'm going out of town soon)

Killing me that my 360 isn't back yet.

jeff, there are hardcore playlists in MP which completely disable the auto-aim (unfortunately these have to be unlocked by levelling up, much like in cod)

i will be playing dragon origins and probly fallout 3 in place of this until monday. sigh.

Got it! Had to start the night planting stupid lilacs tho, may not get much time with it tonight.

I got this earlier today and put in several hours, most of them spent just goofing off in the wilderness. My only complaint so far is that often, when I get off my horse momentarily to skin an animal, when it finishes the bloody process, the horse is suddenly far off in the distance. Maybe this is a weird bug, or maybe the game does it on purpose to demonstrate that you have a shitty horse.

this thread inspired me to watch the wild bunch tonight
is red dead redemption as good as the wild bunch?
― NUDE. MAYNE. (s1ocki), Saturday, 22 May 2010 03:26 (fourteen years ago) link
if you tame a wild horse it constantly wanders off

I got off my horse once and turn around and suddenly it's perched high up on a boulder lol
― CaptainLorax, Saturday, 22 May 2010 03:53 (fourteen years ago) link

The horse will come running to you if you whistle.

meant to spend a couple of hours on this last night, looked at watch and it was past one, not good when you;re supposed to be on early child-wrangling duties. Mostly single player with a wee bit of free roam - am loving the hunting, have managed to get up a few levels - the potential to while away a tranquil hour just wandering, taking in the views and shooting boar and deer - lovely.
Acting is pretty cool, good dialogue so far, especially liked the sherriff in armadillo - only thing am not loving so far is the cover mechanic - seems really clunky and unresponsive - minor gripe tho.

the nighttime atmospherics is what gets me, especially when you go for a wander and all of a sudden there's a wild boar charging you

Is there a free-look button? I feel like I want to zoom in on scenery a lot of the time but I just end up accidentally getting a gun out.
The first time I died and woke up at the savepoint I was at 20 minutes ago was a sobering shift from GTA mechanics.
― MPx4A, Saturday, 22 May 2010 13:10 (fourteen years ago) link
right stick is look around, but there's no zoom, I see in the stats that there's one for binocular use tho, so later in the game we may well get some.
