The lights are on
Where the hell is this download on the playstation network??? I live in New York, and as of 2:00pm today, this download is still unavailable, WTF?? I stayed up past midnight last night eagerly awaiting it's arival, and I thought ok, maybe it'll show up a few hours from now? Nope. Granted, I'm still at work, and couldn't play anyway, but that's not the point, I have not been this excited for DLC in a while.
This game feels more like a western Oblivion than GTA with a different skin. I played for almost 4 hours last night, with an hour and a half set to multiplayer. This game is amazing, my only gripe is stiff controlling. Even after setting the right stick to it's full sensitivity, it's still not enough. You do get used to this after a while, so it's only a small complaint. With multiplayer, I'm more of a co-op guy than a dethmatch guy, and Red Dead caters great in the form of gang hideouts. And with the downloads for co-op stages comming soon I'll be playing this for months to come. The sheer level of things you can do in singleplayer are staggering, yet never overwhelming, any challenge ot mission you open, the game allows you to take these things on at your own pace. In closing, this game was worth every penny spent, just don't allow yourself to get frustrated by the stiff control.
