The game is great! The graphics are amazing; RDR has created a truly beautiful environment for adventure.
I've spent most of the past 16 hours testiing the waters, and I have nothing but positive comments to make. Both the multiplayer and campaign modes are top notch. I prefer multiplayer myself, but I've become so wrapped up in the campaign that I haven't gotten back to MP (plus there's been a bit of problem with the R* servers going up and down).
A few tips for when you do get the game.
1. If you're looking to kill some bear (in MP), go to Bearclaw Camp (just north east of the Tanner's Span bridge - and that's north east of McFarlane's Ranch). It is absolutely loaded with bear!!! They'll actually swarm you sometimes, there are so many of them! It looks like 6-8 shots from your revolver will take down a bear - depending on how many headshots you get. It's a bit easier with a rifle. Also, keep on the move, 'cause they will turn agressive suddenly. I killed 20 bears before I moved on to bunnies and skunks.
2. The mountain lions are %&$#! fast. I haven't been able to kill one yet. They just kind of zip in and take you down.
3. Remember to "camp" after you do something you want to save. I've had to redo some stuff because I was too dumb to save/camp before I got killdicated.
4. Use your waypoint marker on the map!
I've got to get back to it. Have fun, fellas!
sounds gurrrd! keep writting up the experiance !!
