Assasin's Creed 1 ? pretty much the same you described it, but it was like doing the exact same shit, just in different locations, so it got boring after the 3rd mission

I have it and it's fucking awesome. The shading on the graphics is incredible and the missions are pretty cool.  It's not just GTA in a cowboy setting...Get the GAME!

I don`t think there has ever been a game made to date that can even compare graphics wise let alone story wise.  The Characters are some of the most memorable you will ever come across in any genre, including movies.


I love the hat-tip to There Will Be Blood the movie when they named the oil producing part "Plainview".   ;)

Rockstar is the best!

I bet old Nigel West Dickens can give the best Supplement companies a run for their money in the Snake Oil Department.

yeh, rockstar is the BEST they just take it to a level no other companies do

they go the extra mile with the easter eggs and cultural references, and the level of detail and have a real good grasp on what is cool and what isnt

Lets not get ahead of ourselves, I agree its one of the best games ever made but an open world game with miles and miles of terrain to render is never going to have the best graphics.

Think again.  The graphics and sound for that matter are unparalleled.

RDR is fun, but we shouldn't get ahead of ourselves.  The game isn't groundbreaking in terms of gameplay or storyline, and the graphics are basically what graphics SHOULD look like for new games.  The game uses the GTA IV Rage graphics engine, so it's obviously going to look good, but it's not something outlandish.  

Although I loathe PC gaming, games like Crysis destroy RDR graphics wise.

Storyline wise, I haven't completed the game, but I can say for certain the MGS series is easily better, at least to me.  This one seems pretty standard in terms of story.

Then again, games are a subjective medium, so beauty is in the eye of the beholder.  This game may be the best to you, and there's nothing wrong with that.  That's one of the best aspects of gaming.

 I have to admit that I really am the only person in the gaming world who didn't love GTA; there is too much tedious driving and there was one mission where you had to shoot a guy on a motorbike and I could never do it.

I also like the violence to be more realistic.

You're not alone.  I love III because it was original and fresh, and they perfected it with Vice City.  I thought SA and IV were great in their own right, but not for me since I had played the other two.  By the time SA rolled around, I found the format to be a little tedious, especially the timed missions and didn't finish..  By IV, I was done with the series.

If I had played IV as the first rendition of the Rockstar sandbox format, I probably would have loved it.
