Yup, and Bully was just great. Contrary to popular opinion, I also loved GTAIV. Add horseback train heists and you have success in my eyes.

I loved Bully. The Warriors was great too.

They learned alright as proven by Gay Tony, which I thought was their best work so far.

I did play that, but never finished it.
It was amazing though, but they probably limited the sandbox aspect due to it being 'only' an expansion.

I'm Belgian and there's some shops selling it already over there, so here's hoping

Retr0gamer · 20-05-2010 2:35pm

I have to agree about the expansions being much better than GTA4. They seemed a lot more fun than the original game which tried to be serious and failed at that while leaving out the ridiculous stuff that made previous GTAs fun. I'm back playing Saints Row 2 now which took the ridiculous to silly levels and it's a better game than the vanilla GTA 4 for it. It's just so much fun to arse about in the sandbox which was missing in GTA4.

Just got a voicemail from HMV saying my preordered copy has arrived in stock. I was about to jump into the car until she said:

"And can be picked up tomorrow morning". Nuts!:P

I fully agree just as long as he doesn't get rid of the Ps3 for the 360.
Anyway this is about RDR......... Can't wait to throw a fire bottle!

games are automatically better when they let you throw fire bottles

me, I am looking forward to having an altercation with a nun

Multiplayer is very good. The concept of forming your own gangs of mates online rampaging through the west is brilliant crack.

Pre booked mine there at lunch in HMV in the Crescent SC. €44.99 with 3:10 to Yuma blu-ray (damn good film by the way). This seems like the best bricks n' mortar offer by quite a bit.

However he did mention that I should pop in as early as possible tomorrow as they have limited stock! Just to be letting ye know.

Sounds odd.. as the guy in my local HMV said both the Blu-ray and Game will be held behind for me.

I mean what's the point of pre-ordering with them if they can't guarantee it?!

corcaigh07 · 20-05-2010 4:28pm

preordered a copy of xbox red dead over the phone in hmv cork, no mention of a blu-ray. 44.99 though!

Thought as much when they mentioned it but I was rushing back to work so I couldn't stick around to find out what they meant.

Sorry man, I know its your bread and butter (maybe) but I worry about enough things in life without whether a game will arrive on time. I get paranoid if something doesn't arrive when it should, thinkin the local posty is at home galloping into the sunset!!

I like to grab the game off the guy behind the counter drop money and run, and don't stop till I get home!!

Zero-Cool · 20-05-2010 5:32pm

I had posted this in the wrong RDR thread, pity we can't merge all 4-5 threads into a mega thread.

I rang HMV Limerick checking if they were welling it tonight.

Me -"hi, i have a game preordered and was just wondering.."

HMV Guy - "NO, We are not selling red dead redemption until tomorrow, you can pick it up tomorrow!"

Was kinda funny, i guess they are getting calls all day about it. Really glad i pre-ordered it!!!

Mataguri · 20-05-2010 5:34pm

Got my copy from Gamesnash today! Its f*cking awesome!

Well I stand corrected Mr. Gamesnash, about what I said about never ordering online. If I do order a game online someday, then sir, it will be with you!!

Enjoy the game man!!

I would heavily recommend them. This is the second time I've used them to pre-order a game and both times it has arrived a day early.

Anybody have an idea what price it's going for in GameStop stores? I have a cunning ruse I wish to put into action tonight...

Think i heard they were selling it for around 50-55 but dont quote me on that.
Also anything that takes money from Gamestop gets my vote of approval

Hogzy · 20-05-2010 6:44pm

Just saw the ad on TV for RDR, doesnt do it justice. Shows no actual gameplay just cut scenes. Bit stupid as the gameplay looks super duper awesome!!

Damn it. Just checked my Amazon order and it hasn't dispatched either. I'm a bit p1ssed as I was looking forward to getting stuck in to this tomorrow. Ah well, it'd better ship tomorrow else I'm off to HMV on Saturday to buy it and then return the Amazon copy when I get it.

theShawzer · 20-05-2010 6:57pm

Just looked at my friends list and saw one of them playing it!!:mad:

Ah was only joking bout that man but thats sh*t alright. Wouldn't wish it on anyone to be without this game tomorrow. Speaking of, I can see a rolling tumbleweed on these RDR threads tomorrow. Well actually I will be seeing a rolling tumbleweed in this awesome game!!!!! Hopefully :eek:

I'm been keeping tabs on this, it looks like the time and effort is being put into making a decent game. Here's hoping it turns out pretty good!

Rockstar have a reputation for making decent games as far as I know but I don't think I've ever played GTA (Don't hit me! ), does anyone else think this'll be one of the better games of the year?

I'm really asking because I was really really worked up about borderlands, but I was really let down when it came out. So much so that I got bored and never finished the game. I'm hoping Red Dead won't be a repeat performance. Praying, in fact!

ill be gettin it 2marro anyway cant wait.
