Nice find Space - you're sinking the hooks in all the more deeply on me  ;D

[PZ]

Excellent, spaceboy - reminiscent of an old Clint Eastwood spaghetti western.  I can't wait for this one to come out - becoming more excited with each tidbit of information.  :-X

[spaceboy]

Thanks guys, yeah I thought that was a good one.  I really like the explanations of the different areas and NPCs.  Even though JC2 is a big open world and comes out first, that one just seems more like crazy wild fun (which I'm very excited about mind you), but I think RDR will have a great story and "real" world to delve into as well.

[PZ]

I can relate to that - because my gaming skills are not that good, I like to have time to think about my next step so that I can at least enjoy the game without the frustrations.  For instance, I love AC2, but every time I enter one of the timed events, I can feel my anxiety level rising (and in my book, this is not what gaming should be about).

I'm really looking forward to this game.

[Art Blade]

PZ, I'm with you regarding timed events. Bloody hate 'em  ;D

[fragger]

I'm with both of you - I hate race-against-time type stuff. I'm getting too old for that sort of s#!t ;D

[JRD]

OMG, it does!

Wow... bumped into this topic whilst holding a dose of good'old Jack in my hands... amazing!!!  8)

As for the game... spaceboy found a great vid... it's a Rockstar game folks... they made the GTA series and, like it or not, you have to admit it, they know how to make a living world with tons of things to do and NPCs to interact with... the video show you hunting, gambling, drinking, defending your ranch... all of those features can relate to one or more GTA games...
It seems to be an excellent game! If you have the same freedom as you have in GTA, you will be able to free roam and even see your choices affect the story, but during some missions you'll be prompted to "take this, stand there, do that" kind of thing, which may sound a bit odd to open world game fans like us, but mostly, at least on GTA games, you can perform missions on a variety of ways and that's just plain fun.
Looking forward to this one as well!!!

Glad you found the humor in that one JRD  8)

Add me to the list  ;D

As for RDR its been on my Amazon shopping list for awhile now  :-X

[ninzza]

Hello. I'm a huge fan of FC2 and very excited for RDR. Definitely will get this game day 1.

[spaceboy]

Hi ninzza, welcome to OWG.  Glad to hear another FC2 fan is looking forward to RDR.

I just saw this news - perhaps this interests you and others here;

Rockstar's just confirmed they'll be detailing Red Dead Redemption's multiplayer components during the week of April 5th. "We believe this game sets a new benchmark for open world multiplayer gaming and are very excited to be talking about it properly," said Rockstar on the mode.

Anyways, welcome again, and I see you are on PS3 - so am I, do you ever play any multiplayer games?

[mmosu]

Welcome to the forums ninzza.  If you're a FC2 fan, then you're in the right place.  I dare say you'll not find a more well versed group of experts on that game than right here! As I see space already beat me to the punch, I'll throw it out there that I'm a fellow PS3er as well. 

[ninzza]

Thank you for the warm welcome, spaceboy and mmosu.
@spaceboy: No, because I don't like playing online.

[Art Blade]

welcome to OWG, ninzza :)

Enjoy our site, you'll find an unbelievable lot of details on FC2 here and still you may add your stories and anecdotes :) Have fun with RDR and other games, then  :)

[ninzza]

Thanks Art Blade. Actually I visited this website many times in the past 2 years after I heard of it from PZ in a certain forum, I found a lot of useful, interesting posts, screenshots and tips here. I really this forum, since the members are mature, funny and friendly. I dont see any flame wars here like in other forums. To be honest, I visited many forums but so far this is the best.  :-X

[Art Blade]

Thanks for your kind words, mate :)

I think I read nearly every single post on this forum (apart from very few from the very beginning) and I confirm you won't find any flame war or that kind of stuff. All members may ask anything without having to worry about getting dissed, flamed, insulted, ignored, banned or anything of that fashion. The few who did got rolled in honey and thrown onto an anthill  ;D

[PZ]

I'd like to add my welcome, ninzza,

The regular posters at OWG realize that each person's opinion is valid, and all of us try to see things from the poster's point of view.  None of us are here to change anyone's  opinion, but rather to give another perspective so that others may reflect on another view.

I'm glad that you decided to post, and am looking forward to your opinions on whatever topic you choose to discuss.  :-X

[fragger]

Welcome, ninzza :) As you've obviously noticed already, you've come to a very good place :-X

And that was too good for them :-*
