Don't get excited kido, they'll mess it up somehow. Just be a pessimist when it comes to games and you'll never be disappointed when they suck. Better yet borrow it from your loser friend who had to buy it right away, play it. When it sucks, no loss. When it rules, buy your own.ranger19 said:Looks awesome.

That... sounded like an extremely condescending post. Though I do warily watch games I don't think are going to be great (e.g. Metroid Other M), I have no problem looking forward to and having expectations for games I think look good. I've done it for years, and I've also been optimistic about many things in life, and it's worked out pretty well so far. Sure, I'll check the reviews before I buy to make sure it's not a colossal disappointment, but otherwise it looks worth my time and money.WiDEEyeDSmILes said:Don't get excited kido, they'll mess it up somehow.

Positive reinforcement to good behavior says Pavlov. Throw good games biscuits.
They need to put this as the game description. Well said Rogue Wolf.The Rogue Wolf said:Naturally, you band together with others... but desperate people can do desperate things, and in an all-but-forgotten frontier town, nobody knows what sins you commit except you- and whoever you let live.
I feel the same. RDR felt like it was going for a fairly realistic western gunslinger kinda feel, and this really doesn't fit. Bring something like this out for GTA IV however, though it still wouldn't fit, it would be awesome enough to mor than redeem itself.canadamus_prime said:It could just be me, but zombies don't seem appropriate for Red Dead Redemption. It just doesn't seem to fit with the type of story being told.
My apologies, it wasn't meant to be directed at anyone in particular, I was just in a mood. And I threw in the loser friend bit because that's what I do. Normally I just borrow games and if their epic mouth drooling win, then I go out and buy it. Make sure the money gets to the producers and game designers for a job well done.ranger19 said:That... sounded like an extremely condescending post.

Also... I haven't seen anywhere mention about a retail release, making it tough to "borrow it from my loser friend".
Fair enough. It might be hard to mess up but at the same time, an open world seems like the perfect way to make a game happen. You really are out in an entire world full of zombies, and if you do have to hunt for food to stay alive, find survivors, etc, could be really fun. And I have enough faith in Rockstar to at least *try* to make good DLC and not entirely go off of a cash-in.WiDEEyeDSmILes said:My apologies, it wasn't meant to be directed at anyone in particular, I was just in a mood.

I must admit though, when Duke Nukem Forever comes out I'm buying it. I don't give a crap how shitty it is, just to be able to say I have the longest in the making piece of junk would make me happy. Just for the novelty of it.
Actually, if you think of RDR+Z from a marketing standpoint it's brilliant.
Zombies= Sales
Sandbox= Sales
Zombie + Sandbox = guaranteed sales
The reason no has done it before is because it's such a hard concept to do without messing up. Picture Morrowwind where every nearly every character was a zombie coming after you, it'd be ridiculous. I don't know about this one... It might be a great idea realized or maybe even a decent stab at it, then again it might be a sad attempt at something impossible.
..... Like Communism.
Following Open World Games had Zombies or creatures alik in them:WiDEEyeDSmILes said:My apologies, it wasn't meant to be directed at anyone in particular, I was just in a mood.
