Med Plays Red Dead Redemption Part Tres

Med Plays Red Dead Redemption Part Tres

So I Guess when it starts pissin Rain in here, you know who to blame...

Now you can Ask Swarles, honorable is Not what Iam....Now It's not for me to tell any1 what to Do..

Much as I dont want More ppl to get their Throats slit, their women raped, Their Scalps lifted, or any other God-less thing these God-less, blood thirsty Heathens do...

John Marston trusted these men, and Killed alot more at their behest....And what did he get for his troubles? How do these Cocksuckers repay him? They tear off his duster, take his guns and this Little Weasel of a Cocksucker, De Santa has the nerve to put a gun in his mouth...before he can be saved by this other cocksucker, A self-proclaimed revolutionary of a Cocksucker that I wouldnt trust to run a taco bell during rush hour...

Now John Marston doesnt want this Cocksucker's help in english, in spanish, in square head, or drawing pictures in the shit with twigs talking about how His revolution will be different from the rest..

red-dead5_1638232c.jpg


GOD KNows what these Cocksuckers are up to, involving Louisa and the rest, and What John Marston will have to do about it....He's simply trying to find ONE MAn, And These STUpid COcksuckers keep giving him Bags of Shit to Hold, Opium addicts to save, whores to free, REVOLUTIONS TO SAVE, All While Insulting him in SPK Idioms he doesnt quite UNderstand...

"Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or fucking beatings. A Noble man's world ends when he's dead. Until then, John Marston's got more punishment in store. But he stands it like a man... and gives It right back..."

Medellin Finishes Red Dead Redemption

Medellin Finishes Red Dead Redemption

What is there to say...

it was all laid out you know, he knew who he was and now so did we...Now to Say that John Marston and his lady came from humble beginings would be a bit of an understatement.. wouldn't you say...
But John Martson was always aware...and he tried to remind us, every action served a purpose...and he always found a way...

The Mamacita's family...the aviator...The Blonde's ranch...The Pregnant whore, they would all lead themselves to their own demise, but for a moment in time..while they knew him, they were better for it...

You can’t cut the throat of every cocksucker whose character it would improve...Reyes n the other half of Mexico can breathe easy on that one..bc while That Cocksucker of a Revolutionary celebrates His New beginning, the ppl he claims he fought for cannabalize each other for meager scraps in the aftermath...

sigh....

Self decieving cocksucker that he was, He truly believed they would let him go after Dutch...He really did... He even told him as much, beaten foe with an empty clip...the cold son of a bitch, but through it all he told no lies... "They have to justify their wages..."

What could any one of us every really fucking hope for, huh? Except a moment here and there with a person doesn’t want to rob, steal or murder us. At night, or mayhap sun-up one perched against the fucking wall, the other mayhap on the fucking bed, trusting each other enough to tell half the fucking truth. Everybody needs that, it becomes precious to them….or beyond that, those you would sacrifice for...those you'd put above yourself...

John Marston was a Noble Man...


 
I just saw on the PS that that game dethroned Journey as the top downloaded PSN game. I have no idea why.

Journey strikes me as a game you would hate too, though?

I haven't played I Am Alive basically because it sounds like it has a lot of cool ideas but does none of them well. I hate getting my hopes up and being super disappointed about games.

I listened to the Giant Bombcast this week to and from work, and they actually have me pretty excited to play Hitman: Blood Money. Anyone here have any real person opinions about it? (Giant Bomb's video game opinions and mine tend to differ often, where as there are quite a few people here that I trust/like the same stuff).

The I am Alive demo was pretty crappy, whereas Jouney is so innovative and looks amazing. Why exactly would you think I wouldn't like it? It doesn't have turn based battles and shitty emo characters with tons of shitty dialogue.

As for Blood Money, it was ok. I remember habving fun with it considering it was an early gen game. But the difficulty was pretty annoying. Of course with every Hitman game, it was just trial and error until you figured out a solid way to get into an area or take out a target. And sometimes that took many, many times.

Thanks for the impressions on Blood Money. And I just meant I thought you would hate it because I feel like I remembered you hating Flower. And while Journey certainly had some more "gameish" style elements to it than Flower, it still felt kind of like a distraction than a real game (at times -- I liked it, but didn't love it).

Nope. Quite the opposite. I love Flower. I use to argue about how much more innovative and fresh the PSN games were compared to XBLA games a few years back. That has balanced out a lot more though in recent years. I wasn't the biggest fan of Flow though. I thought that "game" was pretty boring. Patching in trophies did make it a bit better though. ;)

Back to Blood Money, I'm sure you can find it for crazy cheap. It would definitely be worth $15 or less.

I don't know who I was remembering then. So you're saying I made a good call in talking my drunk ass out of impulse buying Blood Money on Games on Demand for 29.99 last night then?
 
There was a video way back when on the Escapist that broke down achievements basically how I feel about them. I can't remember who did it though.

Basically the concept was that achievements existed in 3 types: 1) the story driven; 2) the insane; and 3) the inspired.

1 was as described where you get achievements as you progress through the game, which they (and I) think is retarded because PROGRESSION through the game should be the achievement. 2 represents though crazy achievements in some games like "finish the game without dying on hard without blinking while walking backwards" for, well, insane people. And 3, is my favorite, the achievements like in Half Life 2 Episode 2 where you get an achievement for bringing a garden gnome with you through the entire game. Tough, possible, and pushing the reason why you play the game into new directions.

But yeah, I don't understand playing a game JUST for the achievements either.
