Great review as always and I agree the best part of the game that had me coming back was the writing atmosphere and immersion

I'm going to assume Yahtzee didnt beat the game or even get to the last area seeing as he thinks the mountain lions are the most annoying natural foe.
Also, seriously Yahtzee, if you dont like auto-aim in a game atleast check out the options to see if you can turn it off before pointing it out as one of your issues. You can switch to Expert aim mode in RDR and its gone.

What's this? A glitchy Rockstar game? How can it be? oh wait it's because it's a Rockstar game.
Now I'm tempted to type in "Red Dead Redemption" glitches into Youtube and see what hilarity ensues. I bet you could make an hour long video about just that.

HAHA! Yes! I really enjoyed Yahtzee?s review this week. It?s actually kind of sad because all the bugs he mentioned, I never saw, but I?ve heard of from my friends. It depends from disc to disk. I remember having to go to Mo Ban Var?s hideout about ten times before he was actually there for me to capture, but I truly loved the free roaming and wide range of activities.
I don't know, even with the auto aim off I found the game pathetically easy, still a good game, but definitely not challenging....=/squidbuddy99 said:
This one kind of disappointed me because of some of the sillier gripes. If you don't mash A and actually walk through doorways you won't have a problem, walking is an option because theres a place for it, and for christsakes just turn the autoaim off! I actually didn't understand the money complaint much either. I found myself short on money a few times, my friend didn't but thats because he skinned a lot of animals and did more side quests, which to me means the money system works just the way its supposed to. oh well, looking forward to next week.
I didn't encounter these glitches either but I heard plenty of other people did.

Hmm, seems to me like the PS3 version is much more buggy than the 360 version, that's unfortunate. I was hoping for commentary on how everyone says Mr. Marston in EVERY sentence.
Pretty good review. Hopefully I won't run into these same problems on the 360 version, and hopefully the game will arrive via Gamefly sometime before Max Payne 3..
The only major bug I've seen while playing the singleplayer was when, once in a while, some people in the salloons and such were standing on top of their chairs instead of sitting in them. It rather funny, if nothing else.
I haven't seen any of the bugs mentioned in the video, so now I'm curious and want to see them.
I have to admit that the multiplayer was somewhat annoying when I would get booted back to Free Roam due to "connectivity issues" or some such tripe while trying to take a bandit hideout with a posse.

Well on expert mode (which I was on... not out of choice at first... just when I put the game on and began to shoot... that's what it was set at and I get used to it) it's usually best to take cover and pick your shots carefully. I dislike auto-aim in most games, takes out most of the skill involved. My Cousin used auto-aim and didn't really need to use cover... just aimed on an enemies and unloaded.squidbuddy99 said:
I loved RDR, but the riding around for missions was very tedious. I swear, Rockstar built Mexico in such a way as to maximize the time you spend on a horse.
I agree, I never took the aim off expert, and I breezed through most missions. I think it would have been better without regenerating health. That would make the medicine and vittles actually worth something. And They should have made dead eye like they did in Free Roam i.e. you actually have to shoot something in order to charge it. Still a great game, though, and a great review.Nomanslander said:
Funny as always. I finished the game about a week ago and I didn't really run into any of these problems. Controls are pretty good in my opinion (Though the auto-aim is beyond ridiculous) and I didn't notice a single bug. All in all, I thought the game was really good, and like Yahtzee said, VERY atmospheric.
