Well maybe you'll like Red Dead then, however most of it's missions are go here and shoot people or ride to this location.Mozza444 said:

Honestly go here and shoot people sounds a whole lot better than go and shoot some more explosive things and generators... and spend hours searching for the last one.sephiroth1991 said:
At least there will be more than one way to approach the situation.
Oh.. and NOT re spawning enemies, I really hate that in games.
I also disliked GTAIV. I was in the same spot as you, and wasn't sure if I would like RDR.
I have RDR now, and I am really enjoying it. I don't know if it is just because it is in the dessert, is a western or if I don't have to perform dating missions, but I really like it. It looks fantastic and has a unique setting.
I never played Just Cause, so I don't know how it compares.

If you keep buying games you don't like, here's a novel idea. Try not to be staggered by all the innovation but why not, RENT the game before buying it?
Just cause 2 is just blowing stuff up. You need to blow up enough stuff to get the main missions which involve blowing up stuff. It starts off fun but you do get to that position where it's just searching for that one little thing that you can't find to get 100%.
Voice acting is terrible too lol.

I think you'll like it. It's quite similar to GTA IV in terms of game mechanics, and it's nothing like GTASA, but you'll be getting what you expect anyway.
A third option is needed!
Honestly, it does feel very similar to GTA, but it is still quite fun. Personally I just Love playing poker. Probably should settle for a rent, just to see how it is.
Also, lasso a woman and put them on train tracks for teh lulz
EDIT: Just saw the whole 'dont rent' thing. Yes buy it, and just swap it if it doesnt seem good enough.

Red Dead Redemption is everything that GTA isn't. You don't JUST act like an ass or a good person, you get perks and conseequences for each.
Act good: People respect you, you get discounts at shops, but ALOT more people will stop you in the wilderness and ask you for help.
Act bad: Get the sherrifs on you, have bounty hunters sent after you, get a hefty price on your head, but outlaws won't shoot you on sight.
John Marston is like Niko Bellic 2.0: He's a good man just trying to do right and leave his past behind him. When you ride off to certain areas, he speaks his mind to those that he rides with, and you understand that he's more than a sinple mindless pawn in some asshole's scheme. He lives his own life, and does what needs to be done.
Gameplay wise: I loved the entire thing. There are environmental challenges (treasure hunting, wild game hunting, sharpshooter, and survivalist) that you can complete. You can duel, play dice. There is so much to do and every bit of it is just as interactive and fun as the main quests. I never found a downside to the game.
Edit: In terms of graphics: Red Dead Redemption hit it pretty well. It's not simply a barren wastland with no life. You see creatures, the OCCASIONAL rider heading past you (there's no rushhour in the old west like other games where 10 people come into rtown every five minutes) and everyione you see is doing something. If you follow somone riding, they will eventually stop into town and walk into the bank, or someone gets up and walks across town to open the general store. the controls arn't shaky, and if aim assist is not needed, you just need to choose expert aiming mode. THe game is adaptable

Had this same conversation with someone just yesterday. I suggested the GTA add on pack as a good alternative. their main problem was how long it took to get into it gameplay-wise and hated the relationship thing. The GTA add on pack drops all that
Red Dead takes quite a bit of time to get into and get a feel for and it can be a little samey. I'm a big western fan so I think a lot of my enjoyment comes from walking around shooting guys for forgetting the faces of their fathers. It's a tough call but judging by what the OP said I doubt Red Dead is for them. It's quite buggy and it shares a very similar mission system to GTA.

You probably will enjoy it then, I think. I'm having a blast with it. If you plan on playing it online, check out our user group: Red Dead Redeemers [www.escapistmagazine.com/groups/view/Red-Dead-Redeemers].Mozza444 said:
Ah okay. Sorry, I must have misunderstood your post.
Well, no cell phones in the wild west (and horses don't come with radios, sadly), so no annoying cousin calling you every five minutes.
Furthermore, if you find a character you dislike, you can lasso them and hogtie them and leave them on the train tracks.
But anyway, I tried the demo of JC2, and I found it boring. The problem with such a huge map is the lack of variety. If even the demo area bores you, the game did something wrong.
RDR on the other hand is nicely varied. The environment is truly beautiful, and you can easily get lost in it. As for the missions, yeah, a bunch are just "ride here and shoot people," but there are also some more interesting missions. For example the missions from Bonnie (the first character you'll meet) all deal with keeping the ranch going.
I'd definitely recommend RDR

RedDemption is a fun game, there is always something to do. I played the first two major chapters and got distracted with the ambient challenges, killing bears with my melee knife and what-not. I've only played The Ballad of Gay Tony, but I'd have to say I like this game better, because A) They actually give you a reason to travel from place to place in little scripted events you can run into along the way, and B) You can just skip all that and fast travel where you want anyways if you feel the need. My only criticism of the game would be the honor system. Do not mistake this for a moral choice system, as the positive honor perks are drastically better than the negative honor perks. (One of the negative honor perks is actually a curse. Anyone who's played the game will know which one I refer to.) In addition to all the other good stuff, RedDemption has a refreshingly interesting take on the whole 'bullet time' thing that adds another dimension of fun and innovation to the game. Really, RedDemption reminds me much more of Rockstar's The Warriors game (which I loved, at least) than it does GTA.
Well i've gotta say, thanks alot so far guys.
