MadDog Posted June 5, 2010 Posted June 5, 2010 I hated GTA4, it was so dull and boring. But i love Red Dead Redemption, the setting just does it for me, i love it. IMO Red Dead Redemption is in a differant league to GTA4.

tapedeck Posted June 6, 2010 Posted June 6, 2010 (edited) That's already been done numerous times. Here's a free example: http://sauerbraten.org/ But is this on my PS3 with Sony's marketing muscle behind it? Seriously, a FPS with custom designed characters and a ton of customisation alongside a fun single player would rule. Customise existing stages/characters from space marines, soldiers to laser quasar simulations, create your own FPS and then build rules into the game would = masses of fun. It would also be refreshing from the usual slew of gritty FPS outings already available. Dazzy: tell me you own (and adore) Heavy Rain? It's sublime. I hated GTA4, it was so dull and boring. But i love Red Dead Redemption, the setting just does it for me, i love it. IMO Red Dead Redemption is in a differant league to GTA4. Seconded. RDR is leagues above GTA IV!

dazzybee Posted June 6, 2010 Posted June 6, 2010 Ooh, I reckon ill get Red Dead then. The setting was one of the things that really put me off GTA4. Who doesn't like a western? Can anyone remember the amazing western themed games - The criminally underlooked GUM SMOKE on the NES and SUNSET RIDERS on the SNES? Loved those games!!
MadDog Posted June 6, 2010 Posted June 6, 2010 In GTA4 I never really felt inclined to just go off and explore, it just like there was nothing to see. I love just roaming around in RDR, there's always something waiting.
Cookyman Posted June 6, 2010 Posted June 6, 2010 Got 4 numbers on the lottery last night which bagged me £50 so have ordered Blur for the bargain price of £24.99 on Play.com.

killer kirby Posted June 6, 2010 Posted June 6, 2010 In GTA4 I never really felt inclined to just go off and explore, it just like there was nothing to see. I love just roaming around in RDR, there's always something waiting. One thing they should learn is to never ever ever EVER try to make an in-depth storyline in a game that allows you to go around killing people, stealing cars and dealing in drugs, and nothing changes from start to finish. This is why GTA:SA and GTA:VC worked so well, it didn't get rid of the fact in the game that you were an evil asshole. Although the GTAIV episodes were awesome, I loved those, they were nice short but you had plenty to do, I really enjoyed them (Especially some of the last levels from those 2 episodes)
Sheikah Posted June 6, 2010 Posted June 6, 2010 RDR shows just how stale and boring GTA really was. No more worthless 'protagonists' regularly helping out drug dealers and murderers in ghost town cities filled with uninspired filler NPCs; it's truly entertaining and set in an era that is so far relatively uncharted. Plus, it has genuinely likable characters and a good story, and wraps up particularly well. I don't know anyone who has tried it and actually found it to be not their thing. Even people who weren't that into GTA.
Happenstance Posted June 6, 2010 Posted June 6, 2010 I found GTAIV technically brilliant but they just lost all the fun from the previous games so once I finished the main story I didnt have the urge to just drive around messing about like I did with the others.
Daft Posted June 6, 2010 Posted June 6, 2010 GTAIV put me of RDR although with everyone saying how good RDR is I'll give it a go, especially in light of the comparisons to GTAIV.
flameboy Posted June 6, 2010 Posted June 6, 2010 Sony refunding all PS3 owners for removing an advertised feature In the end of April the firm had filed a class action lawsuit against Sony Computer Entertainment America, Inc., for Sony's decision to force users of its Playstation 3 console to either install an update that would disable the console's "Other OS" feature or lose the ability to play games with other users in the network. Because Sony failed to defend it's intentions in court, the judge decided that Sony will have to pay every PS3 owner, who bought his PS3 before March 27, 2010, a refund of 50% of the price when purchased OR MAYBE NOT.... Sony will not be refunding all PS3 owners: Law firm’s site hacked PSUNI: Do you remember that once upon a time you could install Linux on your PS3? No? Well what if we jogged your memory with the option of a 50% refund for its removal? Ah, we’ve got your attention now haven’t we. A US law firm – Meiselman, Denlea, Packman, Carton & Eberz P.C. to be exact – filed a lawsuit against Sony Computer Entertainment America in April 2010 for the removal of the original PS3’s ability to install other operating systems, such as Linux. Their website claims to have won the case. Winning the case involves Sony having to pay every PS3 owner who bought their console before March 27th 2010 at 50% the price they bought it for. Sounds too good to be true? We believe it is. Nah, we know it is. http://n4g.com/news/537772/sony-will-not-be-refunding-all-ps3-owners-law-firms-site-hacked

Choze Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 (edited) Decided to upgrade to a new HDD. Chose the Hitachi Travelstar 7K500 500gb 7,200 rpm drive. Price is very competitive with the 500gb 5,400 rpm drives and it runs cooler than most while consuming less energy. Cant wait to get it in my hands. Given tests in laptops its currently been recommended as the best price/performance drive to get. So i can relay if it makes a difference in performance in a PS3 as user reviews seem to indicate. I dont have any special equipment so i am not going to claim my results are 100% accurate etc. But i will time stuff and maybe take vids. Edited June 9, 2010 by Choze

dwarf Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 It is remarkably short-sighted having maintenance during a content update. Fools.
Jon Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 Fucking Maintenance derailing my quest for 100% on Uncharted: Among Thieves.
Cookyman Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 It only does the undead! Cheesy as fuck but damn the game looks good
dwarf Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 Isn't that pretty much the same as the other PSN zombie game? (Burn Zombie Burn if I remember rightly)
Cookyman Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 Isn't that pretty much the same as the other PSN zombie game? (Burn Zombie Burn if I remember rightly) I don't think so - remember this is by the guys who did Super Stardust HD - colour me pumped!
