Red Dead Redemption Game of the Year

I bought this PS 3 version based on the excellent reviews. First I want to thank you all for giving the pluses and minuses. Now first let me say that although I have played PC games since Adventure (those that know will tell you it was first or certainly one of very few that started PC gaming). That said I'm not a young player, probably one of the oldest. I went into this game because I love Westerns, especially the old Spaghetti Westerns. I wasn't disappointed. The fantastic graphics, sound effects, and music make this worth the money alone if you just want to see and hear the old West. I have only played this for a couple days so far (so many hours the first day I paid for it in my joints) and here are my pros and cons so far. Pros: Great value for the money Exceptionally gorgeous scenery, graphics of people, animals, and environment are amazingly realistic Realism and variety of all weather conditions is phenomenal Sound effects for weather, animals, and other environmental sounds make you feel you're there Numerous voices in dialogue, monologues, and background chatter Incredible depth of possible exploration and open game play Most controls you will use to interact aren't difficult to master (walking, riding, shooting, etc.) You can play this the way you want to play it and survive most the time (one example is you get by okay by just picking plants, hunting, and skinning and then selling what you hunt and gather) Great fun majority of the time Cons: Some of the quests are difficult, at least for people with any physical restrictions (Not everyone has played with gaming controllers since they were three with proficiency), and sometimes it has grated my nerves completing them You must complete certain quests or it will impact your overall honor, abilities, reputation, monetary gain, and store prices It is difficult to avoid fights and animal attacks (most won't want to but some may like to play the game without that being in it) Blood spatter on most of the animal skinning is overdone (Splatters all over the screen) Dialogue isn't for youngsters and annoyingly repetitious sometimes (Play Blackjack at Thieves Landing and you will see what I mean) GRIZZLIES DON"T RUN IN PACKS (Can't tell you the times I got hit by 3 plus at the same time.)!!!!!! Summary: Overall I absolutely love it, but once in awhile I hate it. That won't stop me from playing but there are times I wish I could switch off certain aspects of the critical quests that force me to chew gum, rotate a hula hoop on my hips, balance a plate on a stick on my nose, swallow a sword, and recite the Gettysburg Address at the same time. In other words unless you are a ambidextrous game controller God you're in a world of hurt some of the time. CA Luster

Great purchase. The cover came intact. Such a classic of the ps3 era.

I'll throw it out there.. I DO NOT really enjoy the GTA series. Sure, they are fun to hop around in and wreak havoc on the cities, but really.. just not my bag. I want a little bit more action and adventure and a little less turning a mirror on society. Just not my thing.. So, I was REALLY skeptical about liking Red Dead Redemption. Sand-box style questing just wasn't for me I thought.. I could not have been more wrong! The gameplay is excellent, with some intense fire-fights, cool "dead-eye" feature and fluid controls once you get the hang of them. I was expecting GTA on a horse, and while there are noticeable similarities, they really went out of their way to make this feel different and like it's own world. Game is beautiful, even though I'm playing it in now 4 years after release, I'm still impressed by the level of detail considering it's age. This goes into cut-scenes which are really well done, have great voice acting and draw you into the story. The expansiveness of the environment, dangers in the wilderness, side quest, etc. are all very very cool and even mostly through the game like I am now, I didn't ever find anything to be TOO repetitive. Even the mini-games are pretty cool...I've spent a couple of hours just sitting there playing texas hold'em or Five Finger Filet and even the dice game. Sounds odd to play on the console, but it helps you in game if you're good enough and even has some little things you can do in the game that will make it feel more like a part of the greater story. I.E. - you can cheat and potentially get caught, etc. Overall, I can't understand how someone could be really disappointed by this game. Maybe not their thing because of the western motif? Sure. But, not appreciate the detail, expanse and overall full variety in this game? I think not. At this price, if you haven't played it before..I highly recommend it.

Red Dead Redemption is one of the finest games I have played to date. It grabs you and doesn't let go, I found myself playing for hours and hours on end, despite having a full time job and a life outside of video games. The Good: Red Dead Redemption has so many good points, it is hard to list them all, so I will only give a few examples. First is the initial setting and your first time in the world of the Western Border States. Stepping foot into such a richly rendered world is breathtaking! The townsfolk are realistic, walking and talking with each other, having conversations and the like. Beautiful sunsets, weather effects and scenery, as well as wild animals, random encounters and wide open plains, all add to the new world you have been transported to. The gameplay is great, with plenty of action and adventure to keep anyone interested for a long time. There's just so much to do, you feel lost. But in the best way. The Bad: Only a few things, so this will be brief. The game had a few glitches, but that is only natural for a game this size. The Undead Nightmare DLC was too easy, but still an insane amount of fun, trust me. The Ugly (You knew it was coming. lol): Nothing in this game is ugly! From the wildlife to the struggling western towns, to the storyline and the variety of weapons, it is a brand new world ready for exploration. On a side note, without spoiling anything, the ending in Redemption is a huge surprise, and one I did not personally enjoy. Though it is poetic in its own way. I haven't played the Multiplayer mode, but I will come back and update if I do. For the record, it looks amazing.

as described came in a good condition the delivery was fast

Um dos mais tops mesmo!

All good, no problems at all. Very fast delivery.

LO BUENO La calidad del juego base es algo que no se puede poner en duda. Aunque tiene sus años se mantiene como un juego muy entretenido, con mecánicas divertidas y una increíble y muy disfrutable historia a lo largo de todo el juego. Una joya que todo amante de los videojuegos debería disfrutar al menos una vez. Dependiendo del precio al que lo encuentres puede ser una compra a un gran precio o un juego algo caro, ya que la cantidad de contenido de esta edición (Game of The Year) realmente vale la pena por la cantidad de horas que puedes tener. El mapa es un bonito detalle. LO MALO El mayor punto débil de este juego (y quizá el único) es en realidad la plataforma. Y es que, después de un poco de investigación descubrí que la versión para PS3 es la que tiene el peor rendimiento. Si tuviera consola de Xbox (ya sea algún Xbox 360, Xbox One, o Xbox Series, mediante retrocompatibilidad) hubiera comprado esa versión, y si ustedes tienen alguna de esas consolas les aconsejaría que compraran esa versión. Sin embargo como solo tengo PS3, y si no te molestan las caídas de frame muy constantes, la baja resolución falta de algunos efectos de luz, texturas de menor resolución, etc... Aun así lo recomiendo, ya que en mi experiencia personal el juego no se cerro, no se buge y se mantuvo una experiencia de juego muy fluida y disfrutable, a pesar de los inconvenientes antes mencionados

The game actually arrived before the estimate time, packaging brand new as the disc it self. Super happy! I already knew the game, is a second time purchase, I really recommend it if you like GTA, fallout, skyrim, far cry.
