- I know you can warp, but I like to travel in my games. Why should I have to warp in Red Dead, when I spend hours just running around in games like Oblivion, Fallout, Infamous, Saints Row, Just Cause 2 and so on. I rarely ever came across any of the scenarios you posed, I'd get the same repeated guy attacking a hooker, a few bandits and maybe my horse might get stuck in the geometry. It doesn't help that everything looks the same, riding a horse is boring and the distance between areas is ridiculous.
- The difference is that it's optional in games like Infamous, while it's a part of the main story in Red Dead. I did things for myself in Infamous, I don't have to help that random guy who's lost his cat.
- I just remember having trouble with it in a few certain spots, the map was designed for a GTA game, but it was applied to a universe with terrain that consists of cliffs, trenches and other forms of rough terrain and so the dot spots took more time than it should have to locate. It may have been just me though, but it basically uses the GTA map and I don't like GTA.
- A guy was about to kill a prostitute outside of the bar, I shot the guy, the town went nuts. I tried to be a nice guy, but being a nice guy is apparently limited to a get shot and then you can shoot mentality.
- You can't, it's stupid and you die on impact.
An opinion is an opinion, but I didn't lie about anything I said, Red Dead just isn't for everyone and just because the gaming press fawns over it's deep plot and voice acting, it doesn't mean that I have to love the game for those very same reasons.
Red Dead is a boring game, it's repititve because it doesn't have a compelling gameplay system and so every mission based around that boring they do have, just makes those missions boring as well. The reason why I can spend hours just jumping around in games like Red Faction, Infamous, Saints Row 2, Just Cause 2 and Prototype is because those games offered a compelling method of gameplay, Red Dead doesn't, it's just a bad third person shooter with high production values.
Bet with Conegamer and AussieGecko that the PS3 will have more exclusives in 2011 than the Wii or 360... or something.
