Yeah, apparently you can't skin horses, dogs, or squirrels, though not for lack of trying (the Rockstar rep called Sterling McGarvey of G4 a "terrible person for trying" )
It's a classic Rockstar moment. The nocturnal calm is shattered by the shrieks of a prostitute bursting out of a saloon as a man chases her down and assaults her in the street. I move swiftly to her aid but, still acquainting myself with the controls, succeed only in kicking her in the face as she writhes helplessly on the ground.
The man flees back inside as the girl scrambles to her feet and away. I give chase to the attacker, drawing a rifle as he cowers behind the bar blind-firing. A moment later I have him clean in my sights by the open backdoor and unload a round. Which sails past his torso, through the door, over the street and into the stomach of a girl 20 yards away, who drops to her knees with a blood-curdling scream. The same girl I'd been trying to save. There are belly laughs and there are belly laughs.
This bit got me laughing oh so much. Can't wait for the game to release.
I actually played San Andreas on the PC, so that section wasn't too bad.
edit: I mean I thought the game in general was pretty bad, but that section didn't stick out as any worse than the rest.
For the PC version they made it easier, trust me the ps2 version was rape personified you had a very limited gas supply and the controls were horribad.
New Trailer looks f'ing awesome, the guns look fun to cap people, and the graphics are looking smooth. I liked how in the advanced dead eye he plotted out 3 shots and the character fanned the revolver and brought them bitches down.
Preacher on
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.
You could slide into cover in GTAIV. Hell, you could combat roll into cover in The Ballad of Gay Tony.
Both of these things are good things
But I have never really noticed them before
Me either, but that was because the cover system/shooting system, in gta 4 was really just rather blah. Which was funny because I recall quite a few reviews talking it up at the time.

Yeah, it's odd. The game doesn't really point it out, but all you have to do is press the cover button when you're a few steps out from a cover point, probably when you're running to it.
New video of some sort today. Also, details on the Limited Edition are out. What are they? Fucked if I remember, and fucked if I'm going to do any sort of work for you. Google it.
Video's only new to Xbox Live, it's been out on the website for a couple days. Details on the limited edition seem to be that it comes with a fuckton of additional content, like new horses, weapons, and minigames. So that's probably not true right off the bat. You don't announce a special edition after you've started taking preorders on the regular game. Also the release date's four days after the release of the regular edition.
So somebody's just trying to get a rise out of the internet.
It's Grand Theft Auto meets the Wild West. ...with mountain lions. Fucking epic.
I've hyped this game up so much myself that I really think this could be one of my favorite games I've played. I've been looking forward to this since they announced it 3 years ago.
New screenshots showing off hot lasso action on the game's site. Also a short trailer showing off the preorder outfits, if you're absolutely frothing at the mouth for any snippets of game footage.
So now I'm frothing at the mouth with hatred at Gamestop for continuing to pull this preorder bullshit. But hey, you can see Marston using his lasso to tame a horse, so...tradeoff.
I also don't care for this preorder madness, but I put some boosted trade in value towards my copy of the game. I guess whatever happens I should be getting a code.
I just know they'll charge for the other two or something.
I'm fine with giving people a bonus for pre-ordering. I get that. That's fine. It's just the whole "if you don't preorder you have no way of getting a certain piece of ingame content EVER". I'd be cool if it were something like these were all outfits you could unlock normally, like you unlock the fur trader one for hunting one of every animal or something, and by preordering you just get one at the beginning of the game so you can reap the benefits earlier. But to say that unless I buy a game from a certain retailer, I'm locked out from certain content? Just rubs me the wrong way.
Well we don't know how those costumes might be unlocked, but yeah, this Gamestop preorder shit is getting annoying. I just got an email telling me to preorder BC2 because there's going to be another 30 day lock out for a MP mode.
Sometimes, a game even has 4 different preorder bonuses available at 4 different stores. How do they expect people to get all of them?
I suppose when you put up a giant billboard advertising your game in NYC, it's a pretty safe bet you're planning on sticking to your release date of April 27th. I think we can start getting excited again.
So according to Joystiq, Rockstar is doing that pre-order bullshit where every retailer gets a different item for bonus. And this is game changing shit here, like a special "War Horse" that is the best in the game. I hope we can realistically earn these things in game. It'd be like if FF7 had a Black Chocobo preorder bonus. I also don't want to have to buy all this stuff afterwards.
Thig game looks great. I wasn't paying too much attention since Red Dead Revolver was pretty "meh". After watching some videos and reading up on it, I pre-ordered it when I picked up ME2.

Everyone has a price. Throw enough gold around and someone will risk disintegration.

Take back that thing I just said about being excited. God, I hate this shit. The only preorder bonus stuff I've been okay with was Mass Effect 2, and that was only because there was a period of a couple hours where all the preorder stuff was accidentally made available to everyone on XBL.

Preorder stuff like this just makes me actively not want to preorder the game. Most likely I'll be doing the Gamefly Shuffle, where you delete everything off your queue except the one new game you want, then select Keep It when they ship it to you and save about $15.
On the bright side, new interview with one of the technical leads on the game. The three different territories interest me, as does the fact that they mention mexican standoffs. They talk about how they're basically not just trying to make A western game, but THE western game, one that encompasses basically all of the mythos of the Wild West at once. T
he costume nerd in me appreciates the fact that they've made it so what you're wearing will affect how people react to you. Walk into town in a bandit outfit and people will freak out. Come in dressed as a dapper gentleman and they'll be much more relaxed around you.
As for the honor and fame systems, it's pretty cool stuff; if you're a paragon of goodness, you might get discounts in shops, for example. But if you're a well-known sonovabitch, people might turn a blind eye to your crimes for fear of retribution. So you could potentially walk into a bar, shoot a man in cold blood, and no one will do anything about it since you're such a scary bastard.
And finally, apparently they tweaked the Euphoria animations to be less "enemies collapse in a heap when you shoot them", and more "enemies die in glorious Hollywood stuntman fashion, flipping over railings and spinning around as they fall."
EDIT: I know they said they're keeping the music composer a secret, but this confirms my very firm suspicion that it's the guy who did the Bully soundtrack. The bass in the "My Name is John Marston" trailer clued me in, but his use of chimes in this one seals it.

Also you can slide into cover
Any game where you can slide into cover gains a point in my book

Guess what game is now stable enough that journalists can get hands-on time with it?
Guess what link was posted like 2 days ago. :P
Steam Support is the worst. Seriously, the worst
I just missed not seeing the thread on the front page. It's an injustice.
Yeah, I know how you feel. Not because of the thread itself, but rather this fuckawesome game that a lot of people seem to be overlooking.
And we shall all scoff at them for ignoring it for so long.
Even if it does turn out amazing, there's not really a huge audience for Westerns anymore, it seems
The first Rockstar open world type game that isn't painfully contemporary, and it seems set to be overlooked.
Still, I'm not seeing a lot of advertising for it, including at work.
Like, GTA IV advertising was crazy (granted it is GTA), and bugger all for RDR.
Oh it's such a nice day, I think I'll go out the window! Whoa!

Uuuuuuuuuugh.
At least they're all kinda stupid, I suppose. The horse would be nice, but golden guns? Really? I used to trust you, Amazon. You used to be cool.
Yeah, this will be a definite rental.

I'll buy the game anyway as long as it's not a disaster.
