Entertaining stuff, although I noticed no bugs and found myself at home with the controls almost immediatly...perhaps I was lucky.
Here is my annoying red dead glitches so far after only 8 hours of gameplay(approx.):
1: Halfway through a horse race mission my hard drive began making a whining sound and suddenly my horse levitated about 30m in the air, and the framerate dropped to probably 2 fps. I galloped straight through a cliff, which killed the horse and Marston began an eternal fall through the floor of the map. I had to restart the console.
2: My horse randomly jumped off a cliff, slid down the face, then randomly died a few gallops later after I got to the bottom. Marston fell off the horse and survived.
3: Literally 20 mins ago whilst I was chasing a bounty, I whistled for my horse so I could chase the bastard down. I then could not mount the horse, and my $400 bounty escaped
I then got ambushed by a pig, which I killed, yet the game wouldn't let me skin it. I set up camp thinking hmm if I save maybe the interface will reset itself. I was wrong. So I turned the console off and here I am.
tbh during the first 2 glitches I laughed my ass off.

Actually I found the money system broken. Sure you get $200 - $400 for bounties, but story missions later in the game were giving out $17, $23, or at most $50 when I could go up to the Tall Trees area, stand still, shoot about ten-twelve bears down in five minutes, and make HEAPS of money... the gambling and mini games were the only real way to get money in the game, and after a whole mission of racing my horse, being promised it would fund my need for cash to take on fort mercer... $7... Woot... I'm richcynicalprophet said:
The thing that i found most odd about this review was that you contently complained about the bugs and glitches. I have played the game for about 20 hours and have only very rarely experienced any of the problems you had. I was using the 360 version, so if its a that was what you where using you might have just had a weird copy of the game and if not then it my just have been a problem with the version you where using.
Aside from the big problem of all targets becoming invisible, and the game freezing afterwards, which is what i was treated to on my first playthrough on the first day of the game, this is a pretty damn good game,because i didn't get anymore serious glitches then (And from what i hear, that was fixed within the first week).
You people that decided not to buy this game because of this one review are insane. You are honestly missing out. There's a reason WHY there's so much dialogue in between reaching A to B in a setting where this is the last piece of the wild west.
And the comment where you are Niko Bellic in spirit? well there is that choice between being a complete psycho and killing innocent civilians, OR actually helping out the countryside.

As usual, yahtzee nickpcks at the games he likes. As's he said before, immersion can make up for a game's flaws. Remember people, he said this game was good and his style is ripping apart a game even if he likes it.
Dear The Escapist,
I don't want to have to stare at some woman with gross noserings that seem to be attached by chains to her hair while watching Zero Puntuation.

This probably won't be seen, but I happened upon an editing error. Yahtzee says "but when" and then changes the scene and begins again with "but when", which does not seem like a deliberate choice, but and editing error. Hope somebody will correct the error for next time. Bad Yahtzee!
Hmmmm... this is the first review in a long time i didnt enjoy...
Most of the jokes and braging ware clearly forced and realy... not funny
I finished the game on my PS3 (Unlocked all the trophies [ye i got no life lol]) and i realy didnt find so many bad things about it
Naturaly the game isnt perfect ;] no game is (well mabie except HOMM3 ;] ) and this one has its share of bugs that are being fixed.
Id hope ZP woud go back to the old formula of bashing the bad games (Look Too Human) and pointing out whats decent in good games (Look Painkiller) and stop forcing these negative things into the reviews

I have yet to encounter any noticeable glitches beyond the odd frame hiccup during extend play, more so online, which is both fun and frustrating since Xbox Live is full of ****s who want to use their free time ruining yours since they go out of there way to kill you if you're not in a posse.
I did say I liked the video, didn't I? And yeah, it is all about personal opinions. I really like ZP, what I don't like are the brainless fans who think ZP is a proper review. And since I already saw several posts saying "huh, guess it sucks then", I felt I just had to "debunk" some of those things he talked about. So I guess my post was more aimed towards those people, not intelligent people like yourself.Krantos said:
I wasn't sure on whether I should've bought this. One one hand, everyone said that it was fun, and that free-roam with friends is pure gold, but I absolutely hated GTA IV with its shitty vehicle controls and boring realism. Maybe I'll rent it, simple because it is apparently immersive enough to make it fun, but I doubt that I'll love it.
I've run into my fair share of bugs in this game. Had a mission where it wanted me to mount my horse and ride back to town...except the game wouldn't let me mount my horse, the option just never appeared, so I had to shoot my horse, fail the mission, and continue from checkpoint to finish it up.
I also was FORCED to kill the the 1st of the "primary" targets (Bill being the 2nd one) of the main game quest, the game gives you the option to hogtie and capture (which the government guys wanted, they wanted him alive) and after I hogtied him, the game wouldn't let me pick him up, forcing me to put a bullet in his skull.
Its a lot of fun, but has way too many game breaking bugs at times.
Also, killing cougars with a knife is IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!!! Someone mentioned you have to do it with Bears too, gawd, guess I'm never gonna get that 100% or level 10 challenge completion outfit.
