Maybe it's a generation thing, but I always thought computer games were for children

Bully was awesome, really enjoyed it brought it back to being fun gaming.

I think I just would have preferred it if rockstar had looked in to making the story line dependant on your actions because as it is it feels quite disjointed. As Marsden I was happilly killing all around me at times only to quench my own bloodlust and apathy, yet my characters story arch and demeanour reflected none of this.
They had the feature of the gauge between hero and villain already in the game so perhaps they could have made some of the cut-scenes dependant on your current rating. So my despicable actions would have been mirrored in the cut scenes.

Having said that riding into mexico for the first time was a thoroughly enjoyable moment in gaming history.

"There's no shame in it. I'm sure that none of us are the kind of players who go unwashed for two weeks, piss in pint glasses and leave our children in their cots while we feed our gaming addictions."

...What? She's fine, I attach a hamster bottle to the side of the cot..

If you want that kind of thing you'd play Fallout or Mass Effect surely?

I think a morality system with choices would spoil the atmosphere of RDR and it's like turning mindless fun into choices that will effect the rest of the game would ruin it, it was all about freedom without consequence, just going along for the ride so to speak.

Out of curiosity, Ryoko, where is that name from? Just wondering as I've seen someone on my server with that name and figure the chances of it being you would be too small, so it must be a name of a character from a game or something?
