    I hope that the pacing of the single player is better than GTA IV (or San Andreas, for that matter). Those games' narratives started out strong, but lost steam about halfway through. I don't want to be stuck doing a ton of missions for people I'd just shoot if I had the ability to (see: Playboy X, the entire Italian mafia saga in GTA IV).

    there needs to be a zombie mod for this game. Go out hunting all alone, Put a deer down with a single well placed rifle shot, and then as you begin to collect your kill you could swear you heard a moan off in the distance. And it's getting closer. And now theres more than one. You are a full days ride from the nearest town.
    D:

    This song would have to be involved somehow.

    I like me some zombies, but I think it'd have to be a multiplayer-only feature to really work.

    I'd like that. 6 vs 10 humans/Zombies maybe in a L4d fashion where you need to get out of nowhere to some specific place, like from the desert to Armadillo. Oh, also, the zombies can ride skeleton horses.

    This is why the Jonah Hex movie's turning out so terribly. Not everything needs zombies, you know.

    Believe me, nobody thinks zombies are more awesome than this dude right here. But this is not the time, gentlemen. Our zombie game is coming. But our western game is ALMOST HERE.

    I hope that theres alot of people that will come after your bounty after it passes, $5000. Isn't that like $50,000 pre-inflation? I've been wondering how you equal post inflation to pre inflation money.

    Honestly, I hope at some point they start constantly coming after you. Commit enough crimes and you end up constantly on the run, trying to keep one step ahead of the law. Throw on the Dapper Suit, rob a bank in the meantime, and become some kind of dandy gentleman bandit for as long as possible.

    Now, I'm not exactly Captain Multiplayer, so it's entirely possible that I don't know what the hell I'm talking about, but wouldn't it be possible to set up a public game that just happens to have 16 people from the metatag in a party?

    Or 15, and we keep yelling at the one guy to get out. You know, either way.

    Man, if anything, we're gonna get even MORE kids playing because of that. The promise of boobs? SOLD. So yes, pubby games will be full of nothing but L337 G4M3rZ complaining about how bullshit the sniper rifle is, and teenage kids who call you a fag and think it's clever to do the Good, Bad, Ugly "Wahhh wahhhh wahhhhh" every time they shoot you. EVERY. TIME.

    What I'm trying to say is, I'm not joining a single game not being hosted by someone on the metatag. That's the one wild, untamed frontier I'm not willing to brave.

    #1 I was just checking Amazon.com and looking at their pre-order for this. I don't know if it's global, but i'm seeing a $20 gift card to Amazon instead of $10. I don't know if that's worth updating the OP, but something to think about.

    #2 Consider this a n00b statement followed by question, but what is the deal with the metatag? I've never seen this before (I've got no friends. :( ), so is it just something you add like you'd add a friend on XBL or what? Please to explain 'cause I wanna be a cowpoker with people who like things.

    You add the metatag as a friend, then you can view its friends list to see other PA people to play with.

    Yeah, all preorders on Amazon now get a $20 certificate instead of $10.

    You add the metatag to your friends list. Then you can look at all the friends of the metatag and see who's playing RDR, then send them an invite so you can play together. It's just a way of connecting a bunch of people who have an interest in the game. And who, presumably, are awesome.

    And Optimus, I would be HONORED to be shot by someone who follows it up with a "Yippiekayay motherfucker".

    Holy shit, 20 dollars? I ordered it when it said 10 dollars. I wonder if I'll still get the 20 dollar promotion. I know they give it to you within ten days of the item shipping.

    Amazon's deal is to give you the best price/promotion that comes up from the time you order the game to the time you received it. So if you preordered when it was $10, they'll bump it up to $20 for you automatically when the time comes.

    Just as an aside, I can't help but think that all this talk of our choice of quotes to use in gameplay is not necessarily discussion of Red Dead Redemption, and therefore possibly not appropriate for this thread.

    RDR, however, is a very fine game, and one that I look forward to playing in just a little over two weeks. Does anyone in this thread agree or disagree with that sentiment?

    EDIT: I don't think there's a manual gun twirling option, but it does look like Marston automatically does it when you win a quickdraw.
