Zero Punctuation: Red Dead Redemption

[Gplars]

He had a point regarding the mountain lions (or Cougars) there is nothing more annoying than getting blind-sided by one then killing it, only for 5 more to show up.

I am really looking forward to getting my hands on this game. I'm only renting for consoles right now and currently am wandering through Heavy rain. may have to shift this one up the list for a quick Shufty (anyone non-english do not ask what a shufty is you wont understand)

He shouldn't ***** about travel time in a game that offers free instant travel.

true but insta travel breaks immersion which is the best part of a good sandbox game

That was a really good review surprised no referance to donkey woman.

However i liked the mega shark vs giant octpus.

I might have got Green Spleen Submarine if they hadn't just brought it out for the consoles. Maybe bringing it out for the PC would actually solve the problem Yahtzee mentioned of VERY bad controls, and the one about sprinting.

Rockstar REALLY dropped the ball there. I guess it was because they didn't seem to involve the AWESOME people at Rockstar North.

Take this review, combine it with one of those others that just mindlessly shower the game with praise and you've got a pretty fair idea of the game. What really gets me is that this game, as great as most of it is, is just a reskinned version of every other GTA. The game mechanics are decidedly last generation and it's just wrapped in pretty graphics. I think everyone just shit themselves because there's finally a wester worth playing.

By the way, I'm glad Yahtzee got a truly funny review out again. The last three have been a bit ho-hum after the bar he's set previously.

Cheers.

lol i loved this game but this was so funny

 

[syltman]

Hey I also liked the sailing in Zelda wind waker!

 

[Neikun]

Good laugh. I'll probably still pick it up, but maybe I'll wait for it a bit, you know? I sure hope you don't move as slowly as you do in GTAIV, that'd be a piss off.

 

[ThommyGun]

Great review. Probably won't get the game.

 

[TheGamerist]

I still have no idea if I actually want it, but good video

 

[Sonicron]

Ah, I remember that... you'd be busy picking red sage in order to become the Wild West's most grizzled botanist and suddenly you'd find yourself used as a mountain lion's chew toy. Just goes to show what I always say: Cats are annoying as fuck, no matter the size.

Good to see he's being fair to the game, although I'm not quite sure I agree on the physics issues; the rest is spot on.

 

[Kungfu_Teddybear]

Funny review as always but complaining about the snapshot aim is pointless because you can turn that off...and yes...those fucking Mountain Lions are so annoying...not as annoying as the hunting mission where you have to kill a Grizzly Bear with just the melee knife though...god that took me ages.

 

[Woodsey]

Kind of figured it was overhyped.

You're not seriously basing an opinion on a game from his "review" are you?

OT: I'm loving it so far, and I thought GTA was crap.

 

[RMcD94]

What the hell? Every time I click play it plays as if there is two of them?! Only one image, but two overriding sounds?

Please use the "Help" button on the bottom right corner of the video player.

What help button? It opens up a new window inside a window (for whatever reason), and there's no help button there. I did get it working though.

 

[Roganzar]

Good review. Apparently he didn't have the invisible horsey problem that roclstar recently fixed.

 

[subtlefuge]

You are definitely not the only one who liked the sailing from Wind Waker, it was way more fun than riding around a horse on Hyrule.

Thanks for this, if I want a glitchy western experience, I'll dress my Fallout 3 character in sheriff's clothes, squint my eyes, and pretend I'm on a horse.

 

[Dracain]

Just a side not, it is possible to turn off auto-aim

 

[Earthbound]

It did bother me with the few words he said on the gunplay, relating to autoaim. Easy mode has autoaim that will lock on to individual body parts, normal mode has autoaim that snap to an enemy, and hard mode has no autoaim. Of course, if he was playing it on hard he'd probably say that the gun controls were finicky and inaccurate, which is partially true. I guess "a bit of autoaim" is better than "can't hit the broad side of a glitchy barn."

 

[CyricZ]

Mmm yeah. This is about par for my experience. One thing I would like to add is that Marston is just a freakin' doormat. I mean, I know the point of sandbox games is to run about solving everyone else's problems person by person, but it loses something when Johnny-boy threatens to kill anyone who doesn't get him anywhere nearer to his ultimate goal of BILL WILLIAMSON, acting all tough and psychotic, then ends up doing the bloody job anyway (which we know is going to happen because we were the ones who walked up to the mission-giver, expecting a mission).

And brother is it a time-sink. I spent the vast majority of the past weekend on it and still didn't feel like I got much done. >_>

Oh, and Stephen Colbert is right, bears really are the #1 threat to America.
