Basic Info:
Red Dead Redemption is a Open World, Third Person Shooter, Western game created by Rockstar that came out May 18, 2010 for the systems of PS3 and Xbox 360.
Story:
John Marston (Main Character) is an ex gang member and now if force to hunt down the man that he once called friends in exchange for his family being heald be the government the story starts in a town called Armadillo and you travel all around the United States and Mexico in the 1900's.
Gameplay:
Transport: since is the 1900's all there is to ride are horses which you can hunt down and capture or simply purchase from the store there are 3 Legendary horses that you can capture and trust me they look beautiful.
Outfits: there are a total of 13 outfits in the game and other outfits can be unlock with the purchase of DLC, some of the outfits have special things to them like Army's not being able to kill you, Poker cheating, Collecting 2x the hunting items you collect and many others is really cool to hunt in the game, but i will get to that later.
Weapons: There are many weapons in the game some good and some bad Revolvers, Pistols, Rifles, Shotguns, Rifles, Hunting Knife, Lasso, and Throwing Weapons there are about 4 to 6 different weapons in each category so there will be alot of choosing of what weapons best fit your style.
Hunting:There are a more than 40 animals that you can hunt from a simple rabbit to a dangerous Bear. I love hunting in the game that's how i made most of my money just hunting and selling the skins and other things you pick from some animals.
Activities:A total of 27 activities that you can do in the game some of them might be more important than other, but they still count. Poker, Blackjack, Arm Wrestling, Drinking, Hunting, Saving People, Robbing People, Dueling, Horsebreaking, Nightwatch, Gang Hideouts, are some of the things that i can remember from me doing and they all give or take honor and money so be careful what actions you take.
Multiplayer
XP: You have to level up of course what would be the point of Online if there's nothing to fight for. Killing the law, taking out hideouts, killing other players basically anything you do in online will gain you XP the highest level is 50 and reach Legend status.
Free Roam: This is like your lobby for the game from here you can roam around create posses with friends and take out gang hideouts or become most wanted which is really cool and very addictive if you can make a good posse.
Free For All Matches: Choose the option from free roam and jump to battle people in some modes like Shootouts where is Kill or Be Kill. This mode can be very good, but sometimes annoying when people are sniping and not playing a fair game.
Gang Matches: Choose the option from the free roam and get into team matches that are really fun to play, because you have backup with you all times unless your in a room of 3-1 which rarely happens.
DLC:
There are 4 packs of Downloadable Content for this game, but the most important one is Undead Nightmare which is like a complete game with zombies. It has a different story, new outfits, new horses, new weapons for the price of $10 that is very cheap for all add on content you get. (i have not gotten the chance to play the DLC my self, but i seen the playtrough)
Graphics:
The game looks incredible Rain, Snow, Sunny, Night everything looks awesome the characters dont change much from gameplay to story clips the graphics stay the same and overall looks amazing there is nothing much to say tan the game looks incredible.
Voice/Music:
The voice acting is really funny many jokes are involved, but when it comes to being serious the game does the job. All of the characters have something different about them and that is what makes them unique unlike other games where some characters sound exactly like others. Music is very smooth and fitting to the game many good soundtracks are in the game that just make you cry and smile at the same time and some just make you feel good about playing the game.
The PlayStation 3 is Sony’s most interesting home console ever, but what’s most interesting of all is trying to nail down the very best games on a console with hundreds of incredible games. Let’s give it a shot.
We desperately need Motorstorm back. Evolution is no more though and this makes me sad
Sly Thieves in Time
Stay the Party
Portal 2
Dj Hero
Demon’s Souls
God of war Ascension
2 of those games got railed through the “gaming media” during release.
Sly and god of war.
Both of which were fantastic games.
Yes it’s a decent list of popular games with a heavy hand on FPS and no Warhawk or Starhawk 2 of the best games (not sale wise) on ps3.
I would buy a Starhawk again even if it didn’t have a graphics upgrade hell I would even take a new one with micro transactions 😱🤯
I've noticed a recent nostalgia for the PS3 and I don't get it for me it's been my least favourite generation to date and I've been gaming since the NES I just feel like the ambition of the developers outweighed the capabilities of the consoles so I remember lots of games running in the lower end of 20fps range and I remember for the first time ever actually disliking the duelshock 3 and it's curved triggers
Sure there were some standouts and great games but that's the only gen I switched entirely to PC gaming
Maybe the recent nostalgia is because pretty much all of its games are trapped on that console. People want to play them on more modern hardware. hell... if XB can do it then so can Sony. there are competent emulators out there that can run on PS4/5 hardware but Sony just wont let them become official... why is that?
If we are talking least favorite generations (personally) then this one is certainly mine. i had more fun playing 8th, 7th and 6th gen stuff than 9th. And it isnt like i dont have access to do so... the heavy hitters just havent shown up anywhere close to those previous gens. The few here and there just doesnt cut it compared to the likes of constant good games that showed up in 6th, 7th and 8th gen. hell.... I'll even throw in 5th gen has been better than this one.
I tend to agree there's lots of amazing games locked to the PS3 like GTA IV or mgs 4 but then again my issue was never with the content the PS3 had but rather it's performance many other people have said the PS3 felt like it couldn't walk and chew bubblegum at the same time using PSN and downloading a game could take a few minutes to just start a download.
I typically don't worry all that much about performance I've never had a problem with games that run at 30 but games like crysis 2, Skyrim are good examples where the performance was so unstable you would never even touch the top of the frame cap and the hitching was worse than say Goldeneye on the n64
I think emulation is more than possible on the ps5 though it's just that Sony has no incentive to rush it's development it will likely be a ps6 feature if it ever happens at all.
But yeah the 9th gen has been so bad from a content perspective thats a given I see constant articles where people are frequently expressing their disappointment around the industry as a whole right now to much live service competition that sinks longstanding studios and consumes Devs time less ambition and games cost so much to make they have to play it safe.
The 5th gen was easily better than the 9th we had some all time greats crash, Spyro, Tony hawk, mgs, Mario,64, Goldeneye, Mario kart 64 the list goes on. The 5th gave us a new dimension and I remember being blown away by how much more open gaming had become the 4th gen with the mega drive and SNES was great and very easy to still revisit some of the greatest games of all time came out like earthbound, secret of mana, sonic , Mario world etc but saving our games was still not a standard function or a given so gaming was still evolving but it was very impressive to see some of the tricks Devs used like dithering to give us new experiences those earlier gens limitations bred innovation.
if XB can do it so can sony? I didn't know xbox had a cell processor in their older consoles, that's the reason why ps3 was so cool, but also the reason why games are hostage there and no, xbox did nothing similar even though their backward compatbility is good, they always had a similar architecture to their consoles.
Sorry Michael... I guess you missed the obvious part where i said there are already emulators out that do this. and that is what XB is doing... emulators for OG and 360 games. Its why the full slate is not BC on XBO/Series.
Saddle up your horses, boys. Let's gallop on through this list of the best cowboy games you can play on the PS3.
Rockstar Games had considered making Red Dead Redemption and GTA movies at one point, but had ultimately dropped the idea.
Both would make more sense as a series than as movies, though I think Red Dead would be far easier to adapt.
RDR would be a great movie. If they allowed Martin Scorsese to work on it, I think it would be outstanding.
RDR would work really well. From the GTA universe, IV would work really well because of how gritty and realistic the story is.
10? nah.
Great game but definatly not a 10.
Is the gameplay better than GTAIV? Man that game was horrible to play. The controls were loose, the shooting inaccurate, and the targeting was a nightmare. The cover system was garbage. And don't even get me started in the horrendous hand-to-hand combat...
The driving was pretty good, I'll give it that, but the camera controls while you were driving were annoying as HELL (i.e.: STOP trying to re-center the camera for me when I'm adjusting it to properly see where I'm going up this hill--dumb effing game).
At the end of the day, NO game is worth playing if the gameplay isn't good, and I don't trust Rockstar to make good gameplay anymore after GTAIV.
Your scoring makes no sense
Graphics 9/10
Sound 8/10
Gameplay 9/10
Fun factor 10/10
Online 8/10
And you give it an overall of 10.............. correct me if i'm wrong but to get an overall of 10 shouldn't all of those scorings for graphics,sound,gameplay,fun factor & online get 10/10
Bit of a stupid scoring system you got there
Also your punctuations slightly 'dumb' in that review
Amazing game, but the glitches and annyoing pop in takes at least half a point off...If it didnt have that, I might give it a perfect 10.
