Seems to me like a GTA IV clone in a different (Olde West) setting... if you do end up getting it, and that's inaccurate, let me know...Quote:

Many of the reviews seem to hint that it's better than GTA IV, some outright say it is.
Don't recall the exact statement, but one said to call it simply GTA on a horse, was doing the game an injustice..( or something like that)
Anyway, will make my own judgement and let ya know :up:
Guess I'm most curious about whether it has much of an RPG element to it (and thus real replayability), or if it's "just" an Olde West action game.Quote:

The question for me really is: is the game geared towards you being the stalwart hero or do you really have the option to play a bastard without the game trying to screw you.
Wow I never really looked into the game before..but damn this looks cool. GUN with GTA4 engine?
This is what I fear. I *hated* Gun. And it (Gun) looked so promising, sigh.Quote:

Didn't like that one at all.
I'm curious about this as well.Quote:

I am here to remind everyone that Super Mario Galaxy 2 comes out this Sunday in the U.S, and If you don't buy a copy I will be very disappointed in you.
Get used to the feeling, buddyQuote:

I hear there's a book on the subject
Finished Mother 3 today, it was pretty good but not as good as Earthbound. After I install Windows 7 Wednesday I'm going to pick up Just Cause 2 and get lost for awhile.
Since when was there a second!?!?!Quote:

Seriously doubt there is any replay value though.:down:

He got sexier as he got older...
Let's do it and never stop
D2D is selling Prince of Persia: Sands of Time for $1, so I'm going to order that once I can find a computer with access to game related websites.
Figured I'd play it a bit so I can point and laugh at the movie when that time comes.
You mention this a lot (and I forget if I've asked this before or not), but does your library really block SSH and RDP ports?Quote:

Websense doesn't block secure connections, but I'm not going to connect to a proxy from work so I can type my credit card number into a blocked webpage.

Machines are monitored for unapproved .exe files being executed (they really fucked up the launch of that), so thumbdrive stuff, like the Freedom Stick are pointless. County IT has also taken a liking to using the remote connection to peak in on machines :haha:.
I've got the keys to 13 laptops, and I monitor a floor of 38 dekstops that don't block game related stuff. Its not so much a hassle anymore as it is waiting till I get off the desk of another floor.
hassle
I'm getting to used to Google as a spell checker :(
Got the new red dead. I haven't gotten too far but my only complaint is the steering for the horses, how easy it is, and how difficult it is to read what the hell your buying. Other than that its definetly worth the buy...and its a bit suprisingly gruesome
Goddamnit! No one told me that Bioware already put out the Dragon Age expansion.
I tried, but honey that gag was too much
:eek:Quote:
