Oh, and I'll definitely be playing some World Cup this weekend too.

replyI'm surprised by the reaction to RDR, it really did nothing for me.

That surprises me. Besides Landon Ricketts I thought all the Mexico characters were really terrible. And I hated how John was playing both sides. He's all concerned for the rebels one second and the next he's slaughtering hundreds of them.
I much preferred the assortment of shady characters he was dealing with in the start of the game and in Blackwater and I was glad when the Mexico portion was over.-

It's GTA but less annoying

I give you tree fiddy for your copy.

This is the part where you list your top 10 games have the last 5 years so we know how to properly assess your opinion.

*of the last 5 years.

I hear people liked GTAIV too.
-
I thought the game was decent, but as I was playing I just wanted it to be over. There isn't a single likable or interesting character in the entire game. Every character is also incredibly 1 dimensional.

its over-hyped listen to http://www.podcastalley.com/podcast_details.php?pod_id=91275 episode 18.

The multiplayer was massively over-hyped partly because we were all talking about features that were never even announced and partly because rockstar and reviewers played up how good it was.
The single player though? It's pretty close to a masterpiece. The story is incredible and it's got one of the most fantastic ending sequences ever.

I eagerly await the DLC packs.

You're surprised people liked a good game? So I guess what we can take from this is that some people like things, and some people don't like things. INTERNET SOLVED

Loving it, one of the most atmospheric games i have played in a long time, and the dialogue is decent too!
-
I hated GTA4, but RDR is the most fun I've had playing a videogame since Doom.

That makes sense. Still, the Western genre is still a fresh one for video games, there are so few of them and even fewer have been done right. There is literally no game out there like RDR, it's original in so many ways. But yeah, you kinda have to get into the whole theme to get the most enjoyment out of it. I would urge you to give it a try at some point.
-
That makes part sense. Except you haven't played the game.
-
-
It's not like the gaming world is littered with western-themed games like WW2. You should probably rent or borrow it and really check it out.

Cowboys aren't really big here in terms of culture. In some areas. It's the movie genre this games theme is based around. It has more to do with this game emulating all the awesome Sergio Leone/Spaghetti Western movies people do like.

It's true. We here at Shacknews revere your opinion
-
-
-
ha, this game breaks out of the walls of shackhype. This is not the only place that really likes this game.
-
-
Also, I can't state enough how awesome the soundtrack to this game is.

You can't really "fail" a stranger quest unless you mean the random encounters you get while travelling around. Those are "repeatable" in the sense that you'll encounter another one eventually.
