I haven't posted anything new in quite some time but having just replayed the entire RDR storyline for my girlfriend it had me thinking. RDR is, as far as I'm concerned, the crowning achievement in R*'s game library. It's not the fanciest graphic wise, and the controls and glitches can become a bit frustrating when you first play it. But the game has a massive amount of mystery and an incredible ambience to it which is only made even better with the addition of Undead Nightmare. I truly wish they would make another entry in the series the way R* does with it's other franchises such as GTA. Maybe they could go back and make a game based on John's life before the start of RDR. Show him joining up with Dutch and following through his time with the gang and up to his family being taken by Edgar Ross. Perhaps something following Jack as a young adult in a quickly changing and dying old west as modern society and so forth take hold. Personally I'd rather have more with John seeing as he's the better character and there's so much more to offer by building and portraying his back story. It's more than likely just a day dream that will never happen but it'd be simply amazing to see another game made for the series. RDR itself is vast and I don't know if others feel the same but gripping and very enjoyable to play over again. To date I've replayed through RDR and Undead Nightmare completely a good 15 times or so just out of boredom with other games. I don't find myself replaying through the campaigns of games such as COD or Gears Of War more than once or simply to go back for achievements. With RDR every play through the second John Marston first wakes up after his run in with Bill and his boys I don't want to put the controller down. No matter how many times I replay the missions it's still enjoyable and each time I find new hidden things I missed or hear a new piece of the story/dialogue I didn't catch other times. At the very least, as I've said before, It'd be so cool if R* would release a new DLC for the game that isn't multiplayer related. I'm sure that wouldn't happen either but another story add on would inject something fresh into RDR. Anyway ending the rant because my lady's telling me she's stuck running from zombies outside of Fort Mercer haha. This is what makes the game so great.
