But then you have most of the GTA series, The Warriors and Bully. I wouldn't call them "Quality AAA", but then that phrase is mostly meaningless. They're just really good.

Even people who aren't great at the game should want to play on the Hard Core free roam simply by virtue of the fact that it'll probably be harder to grief people. With normal or casual aiming pretty much as soon as you get within X distance of a person either you or he will High Power SMG the other player to death. People can actually escape when you're forced to either risk losing them for a long range (horse)kill or pursue and be less accurate.

Stare-Out posted:I do wish they'd brought Jack into the story earlier though. I really enjoyed the father-son thing they had at the end of the game, along with having to do all sorts of semi-mundane rancher stuff as John unlike in earlier Rockstar games where the story immediately ends after reaching the climax. Having Jack appear earlier in the game would've fleshed out the relationship between John and his son more and given John's death, and Jack's revenge even more impact. That said, the overall concept of having the main character's son take over for his father, receiving his outfits, weapons and money is pretty cool. And I don't mind playing as Jack that much, of course he's not as much of a badass as John was. Though his VO sounds weirdly like Jake Gyllenhaal. I think the whole point was that neither John nor Jack had a father figure in their lives

Attention PS3 owners wanting to keep going Legendary but are screwed by 1.02! People with way too much time on their hands have found a workaround to getting Pre-1.02 XP for it I haven't tried it as there's no way in hell I want to go Legendary but I think there are a few people stuck in Mid-Legendary so here you are.

I know it is all edgy to say GTA4 was this terrible game and not a "AAA Quality" title. But hey, gently caress quality when the drat thing sells 17 million copies and is the highest ranked game on metacritic. But yeah, metacritic is crap and sales numbers can't save the game from being a terrible, terrible mess. I couldn't get the game to recognize that I killed a duck until I took its feathers...

I just bought the Limited Edition for PS3 off an auction site because it is sold out everywhere here in town and I am very excited to play it. The thing is the codes have been used, though I do not really care. I am just wondering what I am missing out on? Is it only a horse? I never seem to get the ups and downs of these special codes for the game. Thanks.

Red Dead Redemption stands so well on its own, and has such a different feel to it, that to tie it in the Rockstar universe would probably spoil it. I actually half-expected them to mention Liberty City at some point in the game, since Rockstar just loves continuity with all their other series. At least with their sandbox games. Except Bully, but then some sick part of me likes to imagine that Jimmy Hopkins grows up to be alias "James Earl Cash".

It took me forever to complete the challenge, 4 I think, where you shoot birds on a train. I got Sharpshooter challenge 5 done something like 5 seconds later and challenge 6 done 20 seconds later by shooting two dudes hats off as they sat on the train.

Just finished the main story with 93.9 %... Wow, I have never got such closure from a game... I admit that I couldn't keep from laughing when it first showed grown up Jack. I thought it was ghost John with a fancy new moustache. After I found the stranger in Blackwater and asked him about Ross, I went to buy the last part of the U.S. Army uniform, and wore that as I went to find the son of a bitch. I killed him wearing the Army uniform and with the high-power pistol he gave to John. Blew two holes out of his head I did. Sweet vengeance. This whole experience was incredible, I loved every moment of it. The credits made me sad because John Marston never got to see Bonnie again.

Golgozor posted:Rank 4, boars can be found north of McFarlane's ranch near the train tracks and up "the hill" near the boar icon on your map. They seem to like coming out at night. There's heeeeeeeeeaps of boars around the Hennigan's Stead end of the rail bridge that goes to the Union Pacific rail camp, at the northern edge of Stillwater Creek, day and night. Be warned though, there's also shitloads of cougars who will gently caress your poo poo up whilst you're skinning the boars.

Is there some trick to the 'Shoot Two Hats Off Two Different People Within Five Seconds' challenge? I did it in single player easily. Hell, I do it in multiplayer easily as well, but the game just won't credit me with completing it. I just did it three times at the Tesoro Azul gang hideout, no missed shots, easily within three seconds, let alone five. This is getting really frustrating, I bitched about it in the last thread too, I was hoping after a couple weeks and a new patch it'd have finally been fixed.

He sees her when he goes to get some cattle from her and takes his wife, who's incredibly jealous. It's one of the first rancher missions. Personally, I think she's coming back for a future DLC since the last time we see her doesn't seem like an ending by any means. Still, it's an awesome game. quote:Is there some trick to the 'Shoot Two Hats Off Two Different People Within Five Seconds' challenge?

Manhunt exists in the same universe as GTA does. Liberty City Stories confirmed this on their radio stations, and there were some rumors that I can't remember the origins that said that the old Liberty City setup from LCS had a closed off tunnel that supposedly went to Carcer City as an in-joke. Personally, I wouldn't be that upset if West Elizabeth, New Austin, and the Mexican states were right next to San Andreas. It would just be another neat connection that would have no real effect on gameplay. Mad Doctor Cthulhu fucked around with this message at 07:03 on Jun 13, 2010 |

Guys, has anyone had problems with the (multiplayer) Sharpshooter II Rank 3 challenge not registering? I've one-shotted like six bears in the face, and I just can't seem to get the challenge. First I thought it could've been because I had the Master Hunter challenge with five bears active at the same time, but the Sharpshooter challenge still won't register now that I've beaten the Hunter one. Also bears in multiplayer are so loving disappointing. Why the hell are they so ridiculously weak? I mean seriously, one slash with the knife to the side or whatever = instant kill.

On the off chance that people who have played this game haven't seen these movies, I think that this clip sums up why this game is a beautiful tribute to those movies. The poncho, the deadeye system, the dueling cinematography, the mule (more of a multiplayer thing I guess), it's all there. I'm surprised it took this long to make a truly great western game, but I'm absolutely satisfied with the result.
