PS3 and it is great! Well worth the money, imo.
 
Yeah, it's pretty good!
I'd give it an 8 or 9/10.

Ps Buy mine! lol
Buy your copy of it??

Aye done over 30 hours with my flat mate I think.

I did ALOT of hunting early on then blasted the story while my mate did hunting and s**t to get cash while I wasn't playing.

ACE ending, hope they do another... It'd be more modern though.

I've just been mainly dishing out head shots.

I'm a bad person it seems.
 
  FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU
f**king bears are everywher in tall trees. More Bears than there were rabbits when I was after them.

Just been playing online... Got a 16 kill streak haha, got some ace weapons online now which makes it ALOT easier.

We need a CS posse.

I'm still hardly even into the single player. Just helping strangers or going on bounty hunts.

Just done the 1st mission for Seth and won a race for West Dickens.

Dead eye is much better when it marks targets, first, too. I think that was unlocked by doing the mission where you shoot the hat out of the air.

Oh, and I've returned to my War Horse instead of the white stallion. Although it doesn't look as good, it seems quicker.

That Seth dude is very weird, too!

Got this in a bundle last night, traded in my xbox for a ps3 250gb :cool:

Looks really cool only played about an hour or two so far. Gonna hit it again tonight.

Apparently I got one of the last copies of the game in Leeds :S
Didn't realise it was so sought after.

Query, if your horse gets mauled/killed/stolen, can't you simply open up the deed papers again in your inventory, and get them back? I know I was using Warhorse until I got given the white stallion, but when I got bored of him I just accessed my Warhorse deeds again and got him back. Was wondering if it worked when they die et al.

FLOL, you used a shotgun in a hostage situation? Dont ever save me then lmao

haha there was method to the apparent madness. Using the rifle outside then thought, going inside, close quaters....shotgun it is! Not my fault the stupid woman let the bandit grab her :)

Gathered a few more of the treasures last night and found another avatar item (t-shirt, think someone else mentioned it in this thread already, in a small burnt out shack).

just done the first mission for Seth too.

Finding cheating in the card games with that special suit acually quite easy, but I think it's harder depending on where you are.

I still don't quite understand what I'm doing in the duels though, it says Draw! then is click markers all over the other bloke the press shoot. Whats the little bars on the right mean?

Should get a big 360 game set up online one night. Chris and I were on last night shooting donkeys and causing havoc in Mexico.

This sh*t.

Was awesome last night, even though we were only on for a bit.

"Wanna go Mexico?" 'Sure"

45 mins later... "this it?"

Huge game!

Ok, I can help you here.

In my experience it's always better to draw AFTER your opponent as it gives you more Dead Eye time (more accuracy) to place your shots. When it says 'DRAW!' on the screen your opponent is drawing his weapon, so draw as soon as you see this. You can draw first, but as I said it reduces Dead Eye time!

The two bars to the side are hard to incorporate fully into your duel but are pretty important if you want to be the best.
One bar is your opponents (red IIRC) and one is yours (blue) - The aim being to fill your meter up quicker than your opponent, as whoevers bar is fullest when Dead Eye runs out will shoot first (and usually win).

Filling the bar is done by placing shots. You may have noticed the target reticle pulses from large and red to small and white.
Red reticles are less accurate and fill your bar slower (often requiring the full 6 shots to kill) meaning sloppy shooting and a better chance for your opponent to end you.
White reticles are what you ideally want - they are deadly accurate and fill your bar like nobodies business, you can easily and consistantly finish duels with one shot (both lethally and non-lethally) so try and get the timing right to pin a whitey on his hide.

A little guide to respect ratings for individual/combo shots (1 being best possible):

1. Two shot (+200 respect IIRC) - First white reticle shot to opponents gunslinging hand (non-lethal disarm shot) second white reticle shot to opponents hat (non-lethal i-don't-like-your-headwear shot).

2. Two shot (+??? respect) - First white reticle shot to opponents gunslinging hand (non-lethal disarm shot) second white reticle shot to opponents head (lethal headshot).

>>> The above shots are very luck dependant. The second shot of the first combo (double non-lethal) often either misses their hat completely or smashes into their skull. The first disarms shots will unsettle your opponent and so they may move anatomy into your line of fire.

3. Single shot (+100 respect IIRC) - White reticle shot to opponents gunslinging hand (non-lethal disarm shot). Have fun lassoing them after the duel and dragging them behind your horse until they die!

4. Single shot (+100 respect IIRC) - White reticle shot to opponents head (lethal headshot). This can be hard as your barrel has a long way to climb before you can get your shot away.

5. Triple shot (+??? respect) - First shot (white or red reticle) to leg, second shot (white or red) to chest, third shot (white or red) to head.

6. Barrage shot (+??? respect) - All 6 shots (white or red reticle) placed up the opponents body, with 3 or so centre-mass. The 'n00b' tactic, pretty random whether you win or lose.

cool cheers, didn't realise it was that involved. I've always gone with option 6 and not lost one yet. Now I know I'll go for the others but probably loose all the time :(

I've ordered a copy from GAME earlier with next day delivery, they SAY they have stock.

Been to a few places in my local area and none of them have stock.

9.5/10 on Gamespot, I paid no attention to this game at all pre-release, looks like from what I can tell a right little gem.

Love the posse s**t.

Been bostin around today with 5 other guys, i was posse leader. Killed it.

Cruising up in a wagon with 4 lads is funny as fook.

Also yeah your deeds mean you always have the horse, just click the deed thrn whistle near your house.
 
Jesus H Christ this game is big! Went on free roam mode online, rode for what seemed like miles and didn't ever see another online person despite having all their icons on my radar! The map is just so big!

Graphgics are actually really nice, despite the foliage looking somewhat below par on the ps3 version! I am sure I will have loads of questions but they can wait until I have played it a bit more!

Wish you could have the soundtrack playing if you wanted to. When you're having to run between places it's pretty lame. A dirt bike would make this game superb...
 
¿Cómo estás bitches?

Right, I completed Alan Wake and can't be bothered waiting for the free DLC so I'm going to trade it in later for this - not sure wether to get it for PS3 or 360 tho..

I'm smiffjam on XBL and PSN.
 
Will hopefully pick up a copy of this over the weekend...

Anyone came across the cougar man yet? lol
