I was looking forward to this review, as I find you're usually on the mark with your criticisms, but too much comedy-complaining about its trivial flaws-- a variation of which are part of the package in any open-world game-- we know-- has left you no time to address its genuine shortcomings or interesting elements. Neglecting the game's rather serious narrative and themes and simply reducing its entirety to a 'timesink' was kind of a letdown.
Yea I was wondering if Yahtzee knows about campsite insta-travel...Dupeo said:
But anyway a funny and accurate review, the game does give you a lot of freedom and it is pretty glitchy.
I actually loved this one, first one to make me laugh in real life since Resident Evil 5. One of my top three.
1) Resident Evil 5
2) Bayonetta
3) Red Dead Redemption

Personally, i have experienced none of those glitches, and the only complaints i can sympathize with are the fact that money is kinda useless, and i have been blindsided many times by grizzlies and wolves who send me back a couple of hundred minutes and thousands of bounty hunting, criminal wrangling, and poker cheating-out-of dollars.
Saints Row 2 was also a time sink.
This game looks oddly like most of what I've ever wanted from a game, so it better deserve all the hate you're giving it.

Sounds like an interesting game, but I probably won't get it. I' don't really like western games, but I do like the good old western films like The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, and A Fistfull of Dollars, but games about the wild west don't interest me very much. Funny review though, loved the mountain humping part.

Bayonetta is still my favorite. Best part was about her legs and pole dancing routine. Actually what were they actually thinking when they made the game. The special end dance sdequance was something else. I guess the main developer has a hard on for Libarians that love lollypops with glasses and tight outfits and boots. still though my favoruite was Neir. The name Twattycakes was funny itself. Still mine are as follows.
1) Bayonetta: Nailed it right on the head expecially The gerkin part. A clone of Devil may cry.
2) Wii resort: Funny review and some well good comments about some of the games. Yep nothing beats go old spoort actions like Flying WW 1 style like planes shooting at each other trying to pop their ballons. Sounds kinda dangerous for a SPORTS GAME!!! What next fot the Wii Sports. Wii Ballon Racing, Wii Ballon Fight, Wii 10 second car racing, Wii pimping.
3) Final Fanasty 13. Yep Vanille has to be literally screwed up in the head. Her GF animation sequances and her final attack is well something to be desire for itself, expecially the "see you later part after what appears to be a "climax from whatever as she is on top of what appeared to be a riding motocycle riding something". Play it or watch it for yourself. WTF was Squaresoft Thinking!? Yatzee should do a second review of the game after the first five hours to go WTF at the end. Vanille Ditist charater ever made for a Final Fanasty series. Thank you Squareenix for replaxing Riku as ditizest charater around.
4) Dante's inferano. Hialious itself expecially the hairy bum part. Yep good old hairy bum.
5) GOW III. Complex father issues anyone

Haha, I had a feeling Yahtzee wouldn't echo all the praise that I've heard about this game. I still badly want a copy, so I'll be picking it up when money lets me, but that review made me laugh.
I'd love to get a horse-stuck-in-a-wall for Christmas. I'd especially love mounting it onto a unicycle and riding it around the desert for a while.

Hehe very funny. He was right about it all - but most of those reasons are why I love the game; I love a game where I can spend countless hours faffing about and get to the story when I'm done being distracted by shiny things I can either skin or shoot.Yahtzee Croshaw said:
I was wondering this as well, when I got the game. Obviously not literally, since there are no cellphones in the 100-year-old Wild West, but if the "friends" would require me to attend weird social activites.Kanima423 said:
I was thoroughly disappointed when I found that Bonnie McFarlane(First real friendly NPC you meet, and important character in first chapter of the game) suddenly wanted me to go play horseshoe behind her shack. John Marston(the player-controlled character)made some rather sexual remarks but then agreed... Even though I hadn't even pressed a button! It was auto-agree, or something like that!!
Horseshoe is also damn boring, and that didn't make it any better!
Then you encounter this man on Fort Mercer (important location in first chapter) with a rifle. The guy constantly wants me to go hunting, and AGAIN there is no way to say NO! Christ so incredibly annoying when the guy asks me to even KILL WILD HORSES. I have the lasso, and can break them instead, SO I DON'T WANT TO! Then there's the mountain lions (cougars), the bears, even the damn birds... He constantly propositioned me after I had rested in either of my "safehouses". Same with Bonnie.
Your character wakes up (saving advances ingame-time 6 hours) and then as soon as you walk out the door some seemingly random NPC will ask you to do something, and you can't really turn it down. As a bonus you recieve "Fame" (Useless, in essence, ingame) and "Honor" (equally useless).
And it just continues throughout the game! Chapter 2 you can look forward to seeing Diego Maradona(Some fucking poncho-wearing mexican) ask you to help him distilling tequila, using a cactus... It makes for one of the most boring minigames I've ever played.
Also in chapter 2 is Sampaio de Souza Vieira(OR whatever. Also Mexican) asking you to shoot up towns and smaller settlements.
God it's so annoying!!!
Say all of those in one and you have the most hilarious end-game villain of all time.Zombie Nixon said:
Interesting review, I'm glad he didn't tear it a new arse though, he has a habit of doing it, even for the games he likes. At least he complimented its writing and graphics.
