Red Dead looks like a lot of fun, it's too bad there hasn't been a PC port yet.

Did not liked what I seen.
Its typical Rockstar ... "open" world, bunch of annoying retarded mini games that you have to beat at least once since they are main quest related (STOP FUCKING DOING THAT ALREADY), pre-generated character with a background.
Rockstar is like BioWare, they always put the same shit again and again ... except BioWare AT LEAST tries to make SOME changes here and there.

Yeah, but I'm just looking to kill some time in the Wild West. I liked roping bad guys from horse back and the shooting mechanics were decent enough, plus roaming around the countryside is always fun for me (I liked Morrowind). I mean sure the main character is a little too story driven for my tastes and I doubt I'll like the side characters any better then I liked the ones from GTA IV but unlike GTA this is in the Wild West and I'm a sucker for that I guess.

I hadn't exactly planned on it but there isn't a PC version. At any rate my 360 is broken, again, and I'm done fixing it.

It might, theoretically, be worth getting if it came out on PC and was moddable. Fixing the controls, making alternate skins available in SP, throwing out the retarded ninja zerg rush wildlife and maybe adding new random encounters might make it playable in free roam. After turning it into Deadlands.

I played it and had fun, it's not amazing but it was fun enough. RDR looked to be a good extension on what gun was and as such caught my interest.

You gotta admit Super Mario Wii was awesome, especially if you play it with another person (we tried with three once and it was way too messy). 8-1 will always hold a special place in my heart for being so GOD DAMN FRUSTRATING. It's a perfectly balanced stage.

The solution for you is to change the name of your development team. Otherwise you would not believe what an ordeal I will put you through over the coming months and years. If you think I am bluffing, I will put you in touch with people who are currently on medication because just mentioning my name makes them start screaming uncontrollably. They thought I was bluffing too.

Playing it with four people is the best. The laughs alone make it worth it.

The reason it sold was because it had Mario in the title. 2d won't sell well unless it has a big name behind it because the vast majority of console gamers are fucking morons.

It outsell 3d Mario title like Galaxy by a very large margin, of course you can say it's because of nostalgia factor but there are a lot of new players too.

Throwing people around is hilarious lol.

I would say that's because it's more straightforward than Galaxy (whose 3D I find annoyingly confusing and slows down the pace a lot), yet it's one case where "straightforward" and "simple" doesn't mean the game's easy (not in the later stages anyway).
That, and I think it's simply a much better game than Galaxy.
