Red Dead Redemption

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

Anyone pre-ordered this? Out on the 21/5.

 

I just have at Tesco Entertainment:

 

Tesco entertainment - Microsoft Xbox 360 - Red Dead Redemption

 

If you use a 15% code, it brings the price down to £28.90.

 

Code is FTSL15-1

 

Looks immense:

Ridiculously excited about this game.

 

GTA series has gone massively stale in my opinion and this will certainly re-invigorate the genre. Can't argue with a bit of posse action.

[Elite]

That looks fucking amazing.

Where have you pre-ordered it from? Various places give you different perks for pre-ordering. Multiplayer looks boss by the way, can't go wrong if its anything like GTA.

Did you not see the link in my original post?

 

Don't really care about perks, just interested in price. Not many pre-orders you can get for under £30.

Cheers for this code. I have pre ordered the game and got Prototype for £16.15 too.

 

The game does look ace.

looks ace

[Dan Vito Corleone]

Prototype was shite.

[Arl arse]

Just ordered the ltd edit from play.com along with mod nation racers.

[Antynwa]

My brother mentioned it and I was like 'Fuck that looks shite' saw the trailer the other day and literally shit myself in excitement.

[Reacher]

That looks fucking boss, another £30 down the drain :)

[Dan Vito Corleone]

I am going to break my embargo for this, it looks awesome.

[Allan]

Zavvi are doing it for £36.95 for both platforms, but the offer is only valid today (Monday).

 

Part of their Mega Monday promotion.

[Guest davelfc]

Just under £30 for ps3

 

Red Dead Redemption 35.00 tesco entertainment - HotUKDeals Forum

Fuck. Nearly a week to go. Tesco Entertainment are really fast. Ordered Avatar BD and got it next day.

 

Might have to phone in sick next Friday, or hopefully before.

As stunning as this game looks, I'll think I'll pass.

 

I've never really gotten into the GTA series, or any Rockstar game for that matter, and with MW2 taking up my time right now, plus future releases of Black Ops and the new Medal of Honor, I'm likely to stick to FPS for the time being.

 

On the subject of Rockstar games, they have a new title being released later this year, L.A. Noire.

 

It's a crime/detective game set in LA in the late 1940's. Again, the game looks stunning, but I think I'll avoid this as well.

[RedKnight]

I'll be all over it when the price comes down, Red Dead Revolver was shit hot even though it's a completely different game.

[Dan Vito Corleone]

Saw a TV advert for this before... WHAT a game this is going to be. And now to choose a console...

Gotta be the 360 since the online multiplayer looks ace.

[Crazyhorse7778]

Saw an ad for this the other day, it looks immense.

[Guest davelfc]

The graphics are pretty damned good. It's a little clumsy control wise and no way as good as GTA. Somehow it feels wrong to shoot and skin animals (especially the poor little bunnies). unlike GTA when wasting people was fun.

 

The horse riding is annoying too, press the 'a' button too much and you get thrown off. I like the idea that you can kill people and as long as there are no witnesses you don't get into trouble. Let one snitch live and you'll end up with the law on your back. Cause too much trouble and there's a posse searching for you.

 

I found myself wishing there was a quad bike hidden somewhere, or maybe a delorean hidden in a cave.

 

I've passed it on to my son to play, might pick this up later in the year but will probably be playing Crackdown 2 by then.

[Antynwa]

Staying up on Thursday Night to get this.

 

This is turning out to be a boss week

 

Lost on Wednesday, Ashes to Ashes Finale and Red Dead on Friday, CL Final on Satdee and Lost Finale on Sunday.

[Mike84]

Looks a beast, will have to wait till exams and essays are over though or ill do shit.

Wrong. Much better, in just about every way imaginable.

Having never played GTA, could you all contextualise this for me please? IS it like Assassin's Creed where you have these open worlds that you can go anywhere in at your own pace, but choose to follow the linear missions too. Or not?
