I love how on bigger, more popular titles like this more people seem to throw their shit at Yahtzee. Just because he pokes and nitpicks at games, doesn't mean he dislikes them. If you can't laugh at some of your favorite things, then you're too self-conscious or just blind about it. I think he's hilarious and a lot of times- spot on. He thrashes some of my favorite games, but I'm still giggling and waiting for the next one.

I couldn't agree more, it's funnier if I'm personally invested in a game he's roasting; I thought that was literally, the point.

These videos are not only hilarious, they're informative. This convinced me to buy the game, which I enjoy playing to this day. Yahtzee almost always mentions not just whether a game is good or bad, but more importantly if you might like it based on what you're looking for. They are reviews, after all, and damn good ones too. Besides, RDR is patched pretty well at this point, so glitches don't really happen anymore

The horse riding in this game is still the best I've experienced. Even The Witcher 3 could learn from RDR. You can sprint, whistle for your horse, and hop on it all without the need to stop and look around for it.

Witcher 3, while great in many respects, fails so miserably at horse riding that you might think it's intentionally bad. There are games that did horse riding way better, though. Shadow of the Colossus comes to mind.

My favourite horse riding is in Shadow of the Colossus, because you don't actually control the horse. You're still just controlling the guy on the horse's back, so you only direct the horse rather than playing as the horse. It felt really real.

best free roam red dead redemption moment. I was watching my friend play and we were killing off people at a train station when he saw a guy running away. He entired deadeye mode while holding the evan's rifle which has twenty two shots and locked all of the shots on him. Neither of us noticed the transport cart with 4 horses starting to run by so when he did shoot only 1 bullet hit the guy he was aiming for before the horses ran into the way and he killed 3 of the four of them.

You're right Rogers. Why can't he say something positive like "Red Dead Redemption is a beautiful looking, beautifully written, beautifully animated time sink." or "Surprisingly good doesn't do [Driver: San Francisco] justice." or "I was pleasantly surprised by Majora's Mask." or insert another one of 100 nice things he's ever said? Yahtzee's style is one of juxtaposition. If he said nice things all the time, it'd lose meaning, so instead he tries to merely praise by exception. It's what makes his praise so amazing when it is done vocally.

Wanna know what I love? If you fall on a hitched horse from above, you immediately mount it! And no, medicine is NOT pointless, especially in hardcore mode (only in the game of the year edition). Medicine instantly restores your health. Your health will Regen over time, but it does take a while, and if you keep getting shot, it won't Regen. And medicine is pretty much necessary in hardcore mode, as health takes twice as long to Regen, and John has half the normal amount of health. Dead eye will make you invincible, but that's on a meter, which will Regen over time (and can be infinite for 10 seconds when you use moonshine) and with kills that aren't in dead eye mode, but in hardcore mode, you don't get the constant Regen. You have to kill (or use items) to refill it.

Odd, I bought RDR back in 2010 or 2011 (can't remember) for Xbox360 and not once did I get a glitch. Was he using PS3 or something?

I always figured the Red Dead part refers to the way you die. The more damage you take, the redder the screen gets, and when it gets fully blood red you're, ya know, dead.

The drinking wasn't super realistic but with a Lil creativity easily becomes my favorite minigame. If you add in drinks of your own then getting john drunk and seeing how long you can hilariously steer him around without face planting becomes down right the best drinking game in video game history. Right up there with drinking every time you choose a dialogue option in a bioware game and it is the complete opposite result of what you thought it would be.

I couldn't agree with this review more. I didn't dislike the game, but much of it seemed pointless. As Yahtzee said, beautiful game to look at, great story, but not much to do. It is also, hands down, the most depressing game I ever played. EVERY single side mission ends badly. Trying to help people just felt so futile.

i do agree with not having much to do, it was my main gripe with the game, the only thing setting it back. However, the fact that things end badly are just a way of showing how things, more often than not, ended at that time. The far west was a really dangerous place, there was many problems with the law since it wasn't cemented well enough in country yet, and there was little civilization.

I totally agree and I appreciate the artistic direction that they went with. However, still not the funnest game to play on a Saturday afternoon. I remember the first time I ran into the husband who wanted me to save his wife from being hanged by a group of bandits. I charged in, jumped of my horse and "pop, pop, pop"...killed the 3 bandits dead. However, the wife died anyway (because I was suppose to shoot the rope...duh). The husband is there crying and I felt like a helpless ass. I turned off the game and took a break, I was so depressed. So, yeah...it is impressive that they could make a game that had such an emotional impact on me. However, not exactly an emotion I want to feel for 12 hours of gameplay.

69johndz Well, their main goal wasn't to make a "fun-happy" game, it was to be almost a western simulator and have all the drama from old cowboy movies and stories, it's bad i know but that's the intention behind it. It's not that it isn't a bad game, it just isn't the right genre for you. And i'm saying this without offense of course, i'm just stating that perhaps you'd like other games. Have you ever tried "Bully" also known as "Canis Canem Edit"? That's one of the most hilarious and funnest games that you could ever play on the ps2 and it was also made by rockstar, try it out! :P

Though in FFXV, you can only rent a Chocobo but not buy one permanently. At least at 65 hours in so I just gave up on hoping to keep one. Apparently the development team thought it would be a better idea to spend large amounts of money on snacks and cat food. >.>

Main story felt really stupid. Especially when in the end your character gets killed in an uncontrollable cutscene by roughly 20 soldiers while having tonns of explosives stuck up his every pocket. I could have killed them all in one shot, but the game forced me to die because reasons. The explanation for this is non existant aswell, this regular "i gotta die cuz zen dey wil leav my famls alone" bullshit, while there is no reason why would they unnecessarily try to hunt him anyway, no reason why he didn't consider actually getting away with his family, no reason why this would be impossible, no reason for anything at all. It felt random and illogical.

MaxPwnageIII If you're a fan of the gunslinger genre, like Sergio Leone movies or the other Spaghetti Westerns of the time, you wouldn't want to be ducking behind walls and covers in the midst of a shootout, using the same combat engine as GTA. You'd want to strut around with your guns blazing, dodging bullets and in your enemy's face. You get to do that in the Call of Juarez series, especially in Bound in Blood and Gunslinger. Here, you can't. Is the storytelling and atmosphere better in this game? Probably, but that's to be expected from a multimillion-dollar company like Rockstar. It makes me sad that they didn't want to change the gameplay up a bit from GTA.

MaxPwnageIII I think I'd like Red Dead's engine a little more if it didn't have more bugs than a Motel 6. There are a lot of technical problems in Call of Juarez, but mostly in visual proportions, not glitches, and I can forgive them because of Techland's financial disadvantages. But the fact that a multi-million dollar company like Rockstar doesn't program their games to at least tone down the quantity of glitches is just sad. You could argue that Red Dead isn't a bad game compared to Call of Juarez 1 or 2, but it sure as hell has more glitches.

I love this game. I picked it up randomly. I still play it actually lol Gorgeous atmosphere (even the bloody gory ones xD), some of the best horse animation I've ever seen. Apparently its very hard to make in game horses move correctly, never mind run and the like. At times between story missions I did find myself just standing there asking wtf I've been doing for the past 3 hours as I'm looking all over the country side for that last damn rabbit...Anyway, awesome story, I was definitely caught up in it all. Although the slight bug problems, I thought they were funny as I was bugged into the head of my horse..like a cowboy centaur. Though I didn't experience many of these bugs he mentions on the PS3 version besides centaur man when I was online. At the end of it all, I still have the want t play, and wish the story could continue. I'd definitely like to see what happens to Jack.

Red Dead Redemption was actually very storybook in how plots unraveled into the conclusion of John Marston's death, and to the extension towards his son's revenge. The whole point of the long horse rides was to show off the environment as well as the random events generation during exploration. If you hated it that much, just finish half of the Treasure Hunter challenges and use the free-travelling perk to teleport across the whole world.
