THIS GAME SUCKS!!! DO NOT BUY THIS GAME. Alright....I'm lying. About 2 hours in and I friggin love it. Rockstar makes some truly immersive games.

The controls aren't quite as smooth as I'd expected coming from GTAIV, but that's the one and only complaint.

The controls aren't quite as smooth as I'd expected coming from GTAIV, but that's the one and only complaint. That's probably because it's the olden times and horses don't have power steering...

EVERYWHERE around here is sold out. I gotta wait to pick this up. UGGGH!

[ProfessorChaos]

with arkham asylum and the 2 mass effect games waiting to be played, i'm waiting this one out for a few weeks till the price drops, ditto with alan wake. very excited about both games though. and pizz, congrats on getting rid of MW2. i doubt i'd play a single round of that game again even if i was given a free copy.

Should have my copy tomorrow ... still to finish Alan Wake, but am getting very close now. Was checking out some more footage online, looks spiffing ... it might take a little while to get into the 'feel' of the game and the controls (as it did with GTA IV), but once you 'get the feel' then you're sorted (same with GTA IV - initially I couldn't control the cars for shit, then after a little while I was power sliding those things round corners through traffic and causing all sorts of mayhem ). Even got myself Once Upon A Time In The West on DVD to further the western vibe.

Anybody else having some screen problems with RDR? I'm no expert on the subject, but the game seems to be "jumpy". Instead of smooth camera pans and movements, i'm getting a sort of clipping jump every so often. GTAIV never had this problem. Is this just a result of the large open world game, or do I need to pay to download some patch?

Picked up my copy during lunch yesterday and will be trying to do some more damage to Mass Effect 2 before launching into RDR.

[bassman]

Do you have any links mike? All I can seem to find are problems with the online multiplayer. Which I hear is A LOT. I'm wondering if maybe there's some setting I can change on my 360. I really hope I don't have to go through the online bullshit again to solve this problem. Until then it's not that big of a problem, anyway.

It's been my observation that triple A titles don't drop in price very quickly. Mario Galaxy 1 is still 50 Bucks for christ's sake and the sequel comes out next week!

Yeah, wtf is up with that shit??? Gamefly has listed my Super Mario Wii as shipped, so I should know by the end of the day what they will send. The way things are looking it may be Scarface for the XBOX.

Make sure they and only they are in your q atleast 2 days prior to release and make sure you have the requesite open slot. Did it with alan wake and RDR, no problems. In fact they should be in my mailbox as we speak. damn this work day is gonna drag.

I put Mario Wii, for example, on the list when it came out. But I was playing other games, so it was not a big deal. It is like a surprise.
