Is one of the best games I've ever played!
I recently bought it along with several other games and I've finally gotten around to playing it. I must say, I never thought the western sandbox genre could be this good.

It's great rage inducing fun on multiplayer friendly servers.
-Join a firendly server. -Travel to the big mexican fort...can't recall the name of it but it has cannons on the walls. -Wait a little while until someone spawns in along your line of fire. -Shoot them with a cannon. It's "friendly" so it won't kill them, but it will throw them up in the air like a ragdoll. The best part is that in the time it takes for them to land, and stand back up you have another shell inbound on their position. If you get lucky as to position and your timing and shot placement are good, you can ( I know because I did this endlessly when I was ill last year and really high on good prescritions  ) walk them off the cliff like this.
Holy fuck they get mad

| I was pretty impressed with it when it came out, then, I got to the part were you finally hop on the raft and head to Mexico and after landing and then jumping on my horse and the ride to that first town, at night, with that song playing..."Far Away'.. one of the most kick ass moments I've ever experienced in gaming ever. |

i've only played it a few times on other people's game systems. i discovered that you can rope people and then drag them. ...that's pretty much all i do in that game when playing it I learned a neat rope trick from a friend's kid. You ride into town near one of the railroad tracks. Your lasso someone up and hogtie them, then you put them on the train tracks. Don't turn your back on them once you've got more than about 6 people lined up on the tracks or they start disappearing. Now, you just wait for the train to roll into town. You get bonus cool points for wearing a black cape, a top hat and twisting thends of your moustache while you do this. |
Another good time with this game once you get tired of clearing the same hideouts in the same manner is to steal a wagon and start running people down. The local law doesn't like this activity much so you get to play shootout for a while once some smartass shoots your wagon thru the engine block

Yeah, I covered that one up a few also...what can I say? I had a shitload of idle time last year and found just about everyway possible to do horrible shit to people in the old west to help pass the time. I really missed having the lasso in multiplayer but I can see why it wasn't available. Shit, there would probably sstill be players with their character stuffed all tied up in the back of those caves up in the mountains somewhere and I haven't played since last spring

I've thought about buying this game and giving it a try but I really want to try AC3 The first assassin's creed sucked balls. It consisted of doing the same thing over and over again and battle consisted of pressing the same button over and over again. I've heard the 3rd is the same. |

I just did a side quest where I collected flowers for some old coot so he could make a bouquet for his wife...
he invites me in for tea and whaddya know... his wife is dead and rotted in a rocking chair. New Austin sure has some messed up fellers! 
There was another quest I did in Rathskeller Fork where some guy liked his horse a little too much.

I got it for Christmas last year and hadn't played it in almost a year. I just started a new campaign last week now that I have a TV that supports a HDMI connection. That game is like 1000% better with a HD TV I am glad I embraced the HD fad.
I can wander around for hours in that game. Whom ever came up with some of those characters needs better meds! |

Horse at a slow trot up the side of those mesas for the first time with Far Away playing has got to be a top 20 gaming moment of all time. In multi-player, the large map makes for some bad ass sniper duels in the desert.

I've played and enjoyed both RDR and AC3. I did'nt care much for the earlier AC games, but love the atmosphere setting in AC3. Get Both!! |

It's a great game, one that has a winning combo of story, gameplay and variety. However, FUCK COUGARS IN THE ASS WITH A RUSTY PITCHFORK. They fucking come out of nowhere and usually kill your horse in one hit, either wrecking your shit or leaving you stranded in the middle of nowhere. That being said, I love the game.

I totally agree. This was one of the first things I thought of when I saw this thread. |
| I absolutely love that game. The multi player I didnt care for to much but then again I tend to prefer games that dont require other people to get the achievements. The undead DLC was great! For the amount of time you put into the game and what you pay for it, you are getting a ton of gaming time for your $. |

Yeah the cougars were pretty nasty. Getting the "kill a cougar with a knife" achievement was one of my prouder moments. |

Naw, I just finished it yesterday this morning and it's not. The only really repeatable quests are the liberation quests and they are different for each district of each city and you only have to do them 3 times for each district. The naval battles were tons of fun. |

You can kill cougars and bears with your hidden blades in AC3

I love it. Love the online game play too. Free-for-all shootouts are where it's at - no computer bad guys. If you want an easy laugh, find some young kids in free roam and join their posse - clear a few gang hideouts, whatever. When you're ready to sign off, pull out a fire bottle and tell one of them to shoot it out of your hand. It works great if you're on horseback or driving a wagon. They'll laugh their heads off. Then upgrade to dynamite... I think I'm going to check out Far Cry 3. |

The original game is wonderful, then they released Undead Nightmare and it only got better.
The regular game had some really powerful moments in it that really sold the story. It's amazing how much I actually cared about John Marston in the end. John Marston > Jack Marston though. |

The few bits with him and Death/God/his conscience where great too. |
