There is a good hot debate today and lots of warmed ideas whether or not or otherwise not to get the particular ##keyword## . Should you obtain it? Precisely what elements should you consider before you make the decision? The intention of this post is in order to ponder the good qualities, disadvantages and also alternatives you’ve got.

Play KOTOR next, please. I really liked that game, and would enjoy some discussion about it.

This has probably been said but I must repeat it THE PC VERSION IS GARBAGE!!! Terrible controls, weird glitches (you can’t even walk right!), no widescreen support, and no Xbox360 controller auto-mapping really make it a terrible port. I wasted my money on it and don’t wish the same on anyone else.

There’s a lot of pony express missions in particular, and it’s well past the checkpoint for this section so I apologize if I’m getting too far ahead. The problem is there aren’t enough horses scattered through the middle of the map, so if a mission ends out there you’re pretty much boned. A few of the pony express missions leave you out there.

I don’t know where you are in the game, but I have not been left without a horse anywhere other than in a town with one easily accessible. I have played quite a bit past the stopping point for the game club (i.e. I made it to empire and have done all the side quest that were available without progressing the story).

So I’m going to make a confession, I’m getting fucking fed up with side quests leading me out to the middle of butt fucking nowhere and then leaving me without a horse to walk 10 minutes back to civilization. Terrible design flaw that should have been realized on any god damn play through the testers had.

“dude…you’re drunk before 10 AM?”

Don’t judge based on that, that’s a typical Wednesday for me.

Well i played through what I believe is where I was supposed to and am surprised, and somewhat saddened by how quickly that came about. I feel like I only played it for an hour or so. Anyway, I’m really enjoying it either way, can’t wait to play some more and hear the podcast.

Also, you can totally bluff the shit out of the poker players-if you play aggressively, you will probably never lose. Also remember the best starting hands! AA, AKs, KK, QQ, JJ, TT, bet like nuts. Suited connectors over 9 are good to feel out the table and mid pairs can take you a long way too.

THIS ENDS THE FAT PENUS POKER HOUR

So I’ve listened to all the BackLog/GameClub segments from 1UPFM/Rebel and decided to play along for the first time cause I’ve always wanted to play Gun (I’ll play along with KOTOR too, that games is fantastic). My initial thoughts:

1) Kris Kristofferson is a major plus, and makes much too hasty of an exit. Here’s hoping for a flashback/resurrection.
2) It did take some time to get used to the shooting, cover & leaning gunplay and quickdraw.
3) I absolutely LOVE the cheating in Hold ‘Em, it’s hilarious and I was SO pleasantly surprised when I folded the first hand only to see that the 8 of Diamonds I’d been dealt stayed with me to the next hand and “Cheat” was added to “check” “raise” and “fold” on the list of options on the left of the screen. I’ve already won the first 2 poker tournaments available so far!
4) It was very difficult to stop playing, but I really wanna play along with the podcast!!!

Looking forward to the first Gun GameClub podcast!

fat penis,

I’m very early into the game (as in, not yet to the GameClub approved checkpoint), but I’m digging the quickdraw on 360, if only because I’m lazy. 1.) Tap the right bumper, 2.) flick the stick, 3.) squeeze trigger to quickly kill enemy and avoid loose shooting mechanic, and then repeat steps 2 and 3 as necessary until your meter runs out. You save a lot of whores that way.

My only complaint so far is that its hard to gauge exactly how far I am into the game. I’m pretty sure I went well past the point that was the finishing point for gameclub. The mission I am at right now requires that I finish it but I may just go back to a previous save and do side missions. Oh, at 42% right now.

I definitely see the seeds of Assassin’s Creed in here. Aside from the graphics (shockingly bad for the 360), I’m enjoying Gun’s side missions far more than AC’s.

After playing a few side missions, I immediately knew I would complete them all. So far, none of them last more than a few minutes which is perfect because the combat is not particularly deep and pretty flawed.

I’m glad the normal difficulty is quite easy because the gunplay is just not refined enough to make me want a harder experience.

In fact, it is just more western to play recklessly.

Why didn’t you choose Red Dead Revolver? I don’t know if it’s a better game but it makes more sense cause of the sequel Rockstar announced…

That absolutely makes sense. Quickdraw is to make up for gimpish controls on the console version. Although come to think of it, when I played GUN on the Xbox way way way back, I don’t remember using it then, either. Probably just faulty memory.
