I know the game is not long out, but me and Jonno have recently been discussing ideas for a sequel. When I say sequel, I don't mean a direct one, but rather a similarly-themed game set in a similar historical period. I have two ideas. If the US again, for starters I think it needs to be set earlier - the 1840s-1860s. The map needs to be bigger, a sort of bastardized version of the western half of America and Mexico, but curved to include some of the south down to Florida. The southern areas of Texas and Mexico would be similar, but the Great Plains and mountainous, wooded, snowy areas up to the north instead. California would provide the prosperous, coastal area. They'd have to include Indians. Add things like prospecting, trapping, fishing, canoes, the ability to become a Mountain Man. Make the main theme frontier expansion rather than the dying days of the Old West. Maybe even work in the north-south divide and the civil war. Also slavery and racism should be introduced.

Another idea I had today, after watching Van Diemen's Land last night, would be 19th century Australia. Anyone who has seen The Proposition would know the potential. The landscape could differ from barren deserts to jungle. Tasmania would be the large island. The experience would be different as it would be a lot more sparse than the US, and therefore more atmospheric. Plus the wildlife would be unbelievable - Dingos, Thylacines, Kangaroos, Camels, Koalas, Snakes, Spiders, Wallabies, Platypus, Crocodiles, etc. I can't think of a similar area in size that would be so diverse.

Extreme faganomics of course, but a man can dream can't he?

Wait...
Was looking for those bloody beavers down by the river bank when a guy came up to me asking to save his wife. We galloped over to where the bandits had his wife hanging, and I disposed of them promptly whilst saving his wife. They both thank me as the man's wife jumps onto the back of his horse. I bask in my moral goodness until, to my horror, them man casually rides his horse, with his wife on the back, into the river in some sort of sick, twisted murder suicide. Oh the horror.

I think I love this song. It's the one that plays when you first get into Mexico and ride off. Unfortunately I got off my horse to loot some banditos and the music stopped, but I recently downloaded my free OST that came with the LE and I cant stop listening to this.

Plus this trailer is the bollocks!!

I wish I had a save point at the Mexico so I could just listen to that song whilst riding on my horsey!
 
Just got into the final territory, and bearclaw camp is fucking shit scary on your own. Got side attacked by a pack of wolves, then some sort of mountain cat came at me from behind before a bear dived at me., all in the space of 30 seconds.

I dread going there at night now.

I've just completed the story. At least I think I have;
Seeing as Marston is dead. I'm not really disappointed with the ending, I thought it was great, but I would have liked to have gone after 100% while playing with Marston. I'm a bit miffed that the world doesn't exactly change afterwards, despite the son seemingly ageing a good few years. Though maybe this is accurate, I wouldn't know.
I'd give it a 9.5. Some of the graphical hiccups on the PS3 were quite bad and took a lot away from the atmosphere. Not to mention the loss of audio during one of the latter missions.

Bring on the DLC. In the mean time, I'm going for 100%
 
Just finished it this morning. An Amazing game, and definitely very close to, if not the best game I have ever played. I fear no game I will play in the upcoming years will come close to providing me with as much entertainment as this has done.

40+ hours in, standing at 99% (5 bounty missions and US marshall uniform left to do). Only got a few more hours in it, but I will definitely not be trading this in. The co-op DLC is out next week and god knows what else they've got planned for the future, plus I know i'll replay this again at some point.

Oh, and this song is amazing:

DILKINGTON!
This might seem like a stupid question but I've got a lot of the scraps for the outfits but the first one is unticked and just says "Search Solomons Folly". Is the scrap hidden somewhere in that area??
 
Yeah, when it says "search Location x" it means go there and find a chest with the scrap in. They aren't too hard to find.
 
Done the hideout crawl for the last outift and been doing bounty missions in mexico and blackwater so havent had a chance to loo. Only about .2% left

Funny as hell, I had one on Nekoti Rock, took him alive, being chased by gang members through Tall Trees, bear comes out of nowhere and wipes one of the guys out off his horse, i laugh, instantly bear comes out of nowhere, kills horse my bounty and then me.

BASTARDS lol.

I haven't played this for nearly 2 weeks now, despite only being about 30% complete or so. I don't really feel any desire to go back to it either. I was thinking yesterday, maybe I just don't particularly enjoy Rockstar's sandbox games after all, I mean I thought GTAIV was pretty boring and shit. The only GTA game I've enjoyed was San Andreas, but that was more so because it was gang-orientated and fun as opposed to being graphically superb and "realistic".

I might actually sell Red Dead Redemption while it's still hot on the market to be honest, try and recoup the money before it becomes too stale.
 
I don't really enjoy GTA titles either, barring Vice City, they bore me. I usually play for about 30% like yourself, then lose interest. With San Andreas, The map was huge but nothing to really do in the map bar drive round and shoot people.

I think the setting, exploration and atmosphere of this title really kept me hooked. Yes, you could say all there is to do is ride your horse and shoot people, but i prefer horses to cars lol.

Oh there was plenty to do in San Andreas. It wasn't just the activities, it was the mentality you adopted when playing the game I think made it so special. We were all Grove Street 4 Life. :lol: We felt it. Whenever we'd leave Ganton, and cross Balla territory, we took that risk, and were prepared for a shootout. I remember slowly cruising in my lowrider countless times in the middle of the night, with no purpose other than to "smoke" some Ballas while listening to NWA on the radio. In GTAIV, you were an immigrant - alone - in NYC, what was there to do? But in San Andreas, you had your family and friends, more ofen than not, with you the majority of the time.

In RDR, you're alone again.
 
Yeah, I don't like the ghetto lifestyle or gangast lifestyle if you so must, so that sums it up for me lol. I did love driving round with your homies in the car though =]

With RDR, It probably helped that I fell in love with Fallout 3 a year back and that exploring the wasteland on my own and the whole feel of being self dependant was matched by Rockstar. I enjoy feeling alone and scared in games. Super Metroid and the first 2 Metroid Prime titles capture this very well as well.

I didn't mind Fallout 3, but didn't complete it and sold it after a few months. In terms of the exploring, I quite enjoyed it, simply because the world was completely foreign in the sense that it was the future following a disaster, it was a strange scenario. The combat system was quite clunky though unfortunately, the best aspect I thought was the Pitboy and the choice of music throughout - that's what really set the scene.

Waiting....
I finally completed the story a few days back. Great, heart wrenching ending. I was left thinking, there must be another way!

The only thing I've got left to do is complete the Master Hunter challenges.
