I have no idea why hunting games (and hunting in general) doesn't warrant their attention. They just want the media attention.

PETA doesn't get criminal. They just fund criminal activities through knowingly sponsoring third parties up to and including domestic terrorism. Big difference.

Also, hunting games and hunting in general has drawn their attention. I mean, I'm not a big fan of PETA (In part because of such aforementioned acts), but it's retarded to make a false double standard in order to bash them.

Watched an hour or so of streaming shit last night. Game looks great, even though the stream was a shitty resolution. I mean, you had to put up with /b/tards foaming at the mouth with racism, but the game itself gave a strong impression.

Hunting parties are gonna be fuuuuuuun.

Using that link that Drakul provided, my Best Buy ain't doing a midnight release. I'll call monday afternoon just to double check. Kinda stupid since only 30 or so stores in the country are doing midnight releases.

Why do I have a feeling that if I confirmed PETA was in fact into criminal acts KK would take the stance that they really don't. It's becoming eerie that a great many of my stances are somehow 'incorrect' according to our resident Dynasty Warrior. Just an observation.

It's cute. Now you're paranoid. And unobservant, since it requires you to ignore some of my posts to make true.

Not to mention, my stance on PETA has been unchanged for years.

But hey, why deal with reality when you can live with paranoid persecution fantasies?

Kalyx triaD 05-15-2010 05:41 PM

Exactly.

Downloading right now. 17h remaining :(

I fucking want this game right now.

Drakul 05-15-2010 11:46 PM

I still have 5 days to wait and I can't visit a bunch of the sites I've been going to lately because of the leak. Missions, features, cheats, story details are all out in the open now.

The games budget was said to be $100 million back before they wrapped things up in development and started the ad campaign. They are using RDR to see if R* SD can make a AAA title. If it's up for download and people DL it, it's not going to help R* SD out much.

Apparantly, the SNL finale had or will have a 10 minute RDR commercial. Whenever the finale was. The internet says it was the 15th.

I'm frankly baffled that games still use cheats anymore in the old sense of entering random button presses or using "passwords" or whatever. Even games that disable unlocking achievements when you put in a cheat code can't justify their practicality/usage anymore. Long story short, I think it's long past time that 'traditional' cheats go by the wayside.

Kalyx triaD 05-16-2010 05:48 PM

I think there will always be a place for 'God Modes', I don't use cheats often but I'm sure people could care less and wanna screw around.

Um, Wal Mart Supercenter's that are open 24/7 will probably sell them to you after midnight. And there's more then 30 of them.

If I'm understanding what people are saying, the cheats in RDR are unlocked Perfect Dark style rather than by inputting a code. I could be misunderstanding it, though.

I've not cheated in a game to progress since GTA III on the Ps2. I do use cheats in games like Perfect Dark if it's fun cheats like DK mode or if I'm replaying a section I completed legitimately already.
I think cheats still have a place but we need more fun cheats like the old days and less dull cheats like "All weapons" or "Invincibility". Cheats that help you progress should block achievements and shouldn't be usable online. I think I've said this already.

R* has the right idea with the Guns Blazing cheat they revealed on their site. Bullets that make the enemy burst into flames when shot is the kind of thing I want to see.

D Mac 05-17-2010 12:36 AM

I beat a game first before I play around with cheats. Unless it's damn near impossible to do without.

Fignuts 05-17-2010 01:03 AM

Anyone who is anti-cheats is a Buzzy McKillington. You don't have to use them, so all you are doing is trying to ruin someone else's fun.

dronepool 05-17-2010 01:39 AM

Cheating in games is fun.

Bad Company 05-17-2010 04:44 AM

Fuck this game is amazing. So fucking good. Loving it.

Drakul 05-17-2010 10:36 AM

Some guy just ruined the story for me!!!

He made a topic over at the IGN boards with the title "Gamespot review 10/10!". IGN mods had made it clear that unmarked spoilers are an instant ban, so I clicked it thinking it was safe but the guy had typed up the ending.

I tried to dismiss it thinking "yeah, I doubt it." but one of the mods deleted it, banned him and made another thread telling everyone that the guy responsible was banned. Going by what the mod said, I guess the guy was telling the truth.

I'm hoping it wasn't the ending and just a specific part of the story. If it was the ending, I'll not feel so gutted if they do a GTA IV style episode DLC. That would mean I've just had "part 1" spoiled and any future episodes can be played unspoiled.

Still, RDRs story has been blown for me. I was really looking forward to the game and the story as you could tell by the constant updating of this thread.

:(

Earned cheats are better, I agree. There's limited point to hidden codes and shit.

Game is incredible. Trying not to play too much as will have to start again if I earn any achievements when the real copy comes, but it's hard not to. OMFG.

Drakul 05-17-2010 11:13 AM

If you pre ordered at GAME, you'll be getting it early. I just got an email from them saying they were "processing my order" and that "funds wont be taken until your order is dispatched". I checked my bank and they've taken the money already. So, I'll probably get it before Friday. Wednesday wouldn't be too unrealistic, would it?

LOL. Seriously, I feel bad for you, but how hard is it to simply not go into a topic like that? Gamespot has their own site and if you're really interested, why not, you know, go there?

I preordered from Game, doubt I'll be that lucky though.

I thought it would be safe because it didn't say "spoilers" in the title. It didn't crossed my mind that it would be a trick.
I was using the Wii at the time because I thought this PC was being used and GS doesn't like loading on the Wii so it was quicker just to click the topic title for the notes.

Speaking of reviews, IGN scored the game 9.8.

#BROKEN Hasney 05-17-2010 12:35 PM

IGN, Gamefaqs and the other big sites that have boards are all terrible. The trolls there make our trolls look like big pink fluffy teddy bears.

I wouldn't go there at gunpoint.

Since most of our trolls are faggots....

Yeah, I'm impressed by the game so far, including the score from IGN UK.

I don't know why the score is a spoiler, Drak.

I actually didn't know that, I just figured they were kind of dickish. Some interesting facts:

Anyone in the UK planning on getting this from their local Asda might need to think again - they're seemingly devoting their stock to fulfilling online pre-orders, so may not have any copies of it in their actual shops. The gits.

Johnny McNasty 05-17-2010 01:02 PM

Was so excited this morning that I got up at 10 on the dot, and called my local family video to see if they had got any copies of Red Dead Redemption in. Clerk was like yes we do,(YES!) but it say here the game hasn't released yet. I was like wait I thought it came out today on the 18th what are you talking about guy? He then proceeded to tell me that is true, but unfortunately today is only the 17th. :FACE PALM:

I don't know either. Maybe incase someone wants to read the review first? I'm not sure what I was thinking.
