lol i'm back to just to say a little thing...this game is fucking awesome, that is all....

lol no but seriously, i don't think there's anything i can see that's bad about this game, i would tell you about the most randome and awesome thing that happened to me during my 6 hour play but i wouldn't want to ruin the excitement, i remember when i got it i did the first mission then on my way to the second mission i got distracted for a whole 2 hours, haha yes 2 hours. i'm taking a rest to check up on the forums,eat,Facebook, then i'm going back, too much fun, Enjoy guys!

WOW!! what a hell of a first few hours!! sure the game starts off slow and it takes some time to get used to the horses but goddamn, once you do, the world opens up biggrin.gif ... i've done my far share of hunting already from just killing the animals that cross the road, or the ones that run out in front of me in the wilderness... i haven't seen a coyote in the wild or bear yet (thank god) but, i have seen snakes and armadillos... and lots of rabbits and deer...

the missions are slowly moving along and i feel more inclined to explore at the current moment since the story doesn't seem to have an urgency just yet... i've already met some interesting characters and ran into some interesting situations that i'd like to discuss... none of them are spoilers, just some random stuff...

i found some marshals or sheriffs that needed assistance in gunning down an outlaw so i gave chase and helped out... one time, shortly after i unlock the lasso, i saw two fugitives on foot running from a turned over coach... i lassoed the first one and for some reason my gun was equipped for the second one happy.gif ... i once approached a coach being held at gunpoint but, by the time i raised my gun to shot, they'd already shot the driver and when i killed that guy, the rest of the gang took me out in a matter of seconds... maybe i need to work on my gun skills and deadeye ability biggrin.gif ...

in armadillo i shot some guy that was trying to beat up a lady... i walked right up to him and introduced a rifle to the face in the middle of the street happy.gif ... shortly after that i ran into a group of guys fighting over a treasure map... i shot who i apparently thought were the bad guys but, i ended up shooting the ones with the map instead so, i just killed them all and took the loot happy.gif...

ohh, and as i was walking up to the saloon in armadillo, a dog stopped in front of me and pissed on the stairs to the bar happy.gif ... the funniest moment of the game so far happy.gif ...

and i can't figure out how to play horsehoes mad.gif ... my throws are way off... tried my hand at poker and took out a couple of guys before i got too greedy and lost my money to some stupid hands... i guess there was a little more skill to poker than i originally thought biggrin.gif ...

my impressions so far are at a lost for words... it's huge, it sucks you in, and it's totally ripe for the taking at every corner... hell, when i first got off the train i was testing out the controls and i accidentally aimed my pistol at some chump sitting on a bench reading a newspaper... the entire train station took off running into the desert biggrin.gif ... even guys up on platforms climbed down just to run away... i can tell i'm going to have a lot of fun once i start my evil file...

ugh, i also can't get the hang of the Horse shoes game, or even start to know what i'm doing, and dude most of the side missions you said i still have'nt encountered, and i encountered A LOT, it's just so awesome the dynamics of it all, theres some moments i would like to share too but it's just not right for the few still waiting, oh man i can't get enough. haha! one thing that bugs me is my damn router, i believe my 360 connection is set to Strict or something, like i had to change it for MW2, ugh i keep getting disconnected from online, and i was having so much fun online too.

I am going to pick up my copy shortly on my lunch break, couldn't make it out for the midnight release.

I'll be thumbing the manual for the last four hours of work most likely.

Personally I love hunting in the game though........just the challenge of trying to hit the animal......lately I've namely gotten coyotes, wolves, rattlesnakes, and birds.........amongst other ones.....I also very ironically successfully hunted and skinned an armadillo outside of........Armadillo lulz
