Yeah I got my copy delivered, will have to posse up later (no brokeback).
I can't quit you!
Got my copy yesterday. Definitely some desolate, desperado vibes. Spent some time sorting out of the controls -- the horse-riding seems janky at times but it is cool the way that it plays fast and loose when the steed really picks up speed. One of the first missions I did was following around a dog as part of a one dog/one man night-watch crew. That was a little degrading but the dog did a solid job in alerting me to a thief, whom I subsequently shot in the face. Also skinned four coyotes. All in all a pretty decent day.
Controls are easy to get the hang of...side missions and mini-games are fun...story is generic but enjoyable...great characters...man this is an awesome game.
I wish I learned how to play Poker. I need some tutorials.
Ha -- I have been wasting too much time taking all these dudes money in cards, to the expense of the rest of the actual game. Blackjack seems an easier way to get a ton of chips than in Hold 'Em. I can't quite get the hang of that knife game, though.

Yeah Blackjack is hella easier. Five Finger Filet is way too hard. I'm savin that shit for last.

Managed to do the right thing and resist it Friday but succumbed to it Saturday and lost most of the weekend. Picked up the Poker costume but seem to get caught every time I cheat at Poker which on the plus side does let me spread my fame through duels but on the negative side meant that when I had finished I had no one left at the Poker table to play .
Not sure how big the main story is as seem to be quite far along already so started going off on the side missions which are generally great fun.
I have to say that lassoing and dragging someone behind my horse would have been worse the price of the game alone but there's so much atmosphere etc to the game I'm absolutely loving the experience.
Ha! I did this the first time I saw someone running away. Thought I'd be the good samaritan and take out his pursuers only to see the sheriff badges after I'd shot them.
After that I just started to lasso them instead though noted that the hogtied captives I brought back were summarily executed by the deputies with a shot to the head.
Only really started exploring this Sunday when I realised I was chipping through the main storyline a bit quickly. Done a fair few of the sharpshooter and hunter ones though enjoying roaming around on the treasure hunts the most while resisting the urge to look up their location on google.
been mainl;y playing online with friends and solo. Nothing more satisfying than possee action - take it to a fort in mexico with cannons and gattling guns and HOSE the mexican army.
The soundtrack is absolutely spot on FANTASTIC sets the tone perfectly.
how's the "story" if you decide to play as a bad guy? i like hte campiang but restraining myself to keep my honour is FRUSTRATING.

get familiar!
(multi is really fun, seems similar to GTA4 but more refined, which is nice.)
Do it DOR, you know it makes sense. Money saved by loss of social life easily outweighs cost of the console
Just had game delivered through letterbox. Now comes the battle of wills as I try to resist it's temptations during work time.
Once I'm up and rolling we'll have to sort out that 360 posse.

I feel like I chose wrong.
