Jack Burton Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 While I agree that RDR was brilliant I actually found it a bit of a slow-burner. The first few missions were quite dull IMO. I'll need to go back and give it a go again. I gave up on RDR as the first few missions are so bloody boring. From memory, you have to heard cows, shoot a few foxes and then ride a wagon to a settlement. After that I got side tracked on other games and never got round to playing it again.

I think that's why i could never get back into it, I remembered the amazing moments and the ending, yet when i started it up again i got quite fed up at the beginning and didn't have the motivation to push further on.

Good God, the ending! One of the best video game missions I've ever played. I was getting goosebumps just reading the wiki page for it after seeing it here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmothecat Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 What you both need to do is find an evening to yourself where you can sit and do nothing but play it for several hours straight. I guarantee you'll be engrossed in it once you're a few hours in. I'm aware you may have marriages and children to think about, but this is important. I'll see what I can do but since having the bairn 'a few hours to myself' is a distant memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dindeleux Posted December 29, 2016 Author Share Posted December 29, 2016 Codemasters... LMA 2001 makers by any chance? Yeh. And I think they also went on to make TOCA Touring Cars if memory serves me right. I was just back from failing to get a sold out Forza Horizon 3 and now I don't really care.

Homer Thompson Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Codemasters started off making 99p and £1.99 games, mainly for the spectrum and C64/C16. Some of them were dross, but there was plenty of decent games in there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dindeleux Posted December 29, 2016 Author Share Posted December 29, 2016 Codemasters did the early Colin Mcrea rally games did they not? Think so, either that or Sega Rally.Still going apparently and they do the new F1 game which is brilliant. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Codemasters_video_games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerberus Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 I found RDR slow at the beginning. You horse can't run for shit, you can't jump to locations and the missions up until you assault Fort Mercer are tedious. It's fucking brilliant after that though. Better than any GTA game.

I always had Lemmy and Gary Glitter in my band on Rock Star Ate My Hamster and I always failed spectacularly. There was a similar game programmed by Frank Sidebottom called The Biz.

PrestersKTID Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 OOT not being even top 5 is a travesty imo. Be good to see the average age of the voters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
