I have enjoyed every GTA "sandbox" game I've ever played. I have never been a stickler for spot-on graphics or perfect lip-synching. For me, it's about fun factor. The GTA games have always been immensely fun and diverse, keeping my attention for hours upon hours.

After viewing this awesome trailer, I am confident that I'd enjoy this game as well.

**jim5cents** · 05-26-2010, 12:48 PM

I don't know who said the lip synching was bad, but it isn't. I think it is spot on.
As far as graphic glitches go, I occasionally get an animation glitch.
The only two big glitches I have had was in the scene right before one particular mission and one time when firing the gatling gun. Both caused the game to crash one time. After reload it was fine.

I played this game for probably 20 minutes. My experience was very glitchy and I don't like the way horses handle.

I'm sure I'll pick it up again, but not a great first impression.

For me, a game is about the fun in the actual game, I can take playing an ugly game with bad lip synch as long as the gameplay is enjoyable.
If the controls are like GTA, I would enjoy it: The controls in GTA were better than I expected for a game with so much to do.

I got this game and it's great. I don't think there's any graphic/glitch issues at all so far.

**Demon-Mask** · 05-30-2010, 02:31 AM

That's good, I hate it when there are tons of glitches.

A decent game that got ruined by glitches was the crap version of Assassin's Creed on the Nintendo DS, I fell through the floor, into *the void, within ten minutes of playing the game.
*the void is the infinite un-programmed whitespace. I was stuck in the falling animation.

Another game that I personally liked, but was destroyed by glitches was Pirates of the Caribbean on Xbox. I enjoyed the game, but there was this glitch that corrupted all your save files, so very few people were lucky enough to get to the end.

**Demon-Mask** · 05-30-2010, 01:48 PM

I hated that.
There was a racing game that was fun, but there was a glitch only allowing around 96.7% completion, a lot of people got very mad and gave up on the game entirely when they found out that they couldn't get 100% completion.

Wife's take on it:

1. She encountered way too many glitches. Her horse not going over a bridge was the one I remember her telling me about.

2. The honor system is out of whack. You lose honor for things you shouldn't like defending yourself.

3. It got really boring by the time she go to Mexico. By the third "island" it was too repetitive.

All of this means I just get more time to 100% A Boy and His Blob so it works out for me.

**Dudebro** · 06-01-2010, 08:44 PM

1- She must be looking for them or doing odd things. I've been playing for many hours(my gf as well) and the only glitches I've seen are normal ones like getting stuck in the environment when you hit it at a bad angle.

2- You only lose for defending yourself if you cause the innocent person to attack you. I know it's not perfect but a civilian is not ok to kill regardless. I had this happen to me, I was riding my horse and I knocked a guy over. He got up and started shooting so I blasted him. Lost a little honor.
Either way it's not a big deal since it's easy to gain honor back by doing random side quests.

3. Not much to say about this. I doubt I'll get bored with it. I've been having a blast the entire time. Maybe she was expecting too much? This is pretty much a GTA game with a different setting.

**Dudebro** · 06-01-2010, 09:48 PM

Yeah but how does this happen? I've literally been playing for days straight and nothing even close to that has happened to me. Looks like a mod.

Btw did your wife try the mulitplayer? I heard that's a good part of the game as well.

**Kugyince** · 06-01-2010, 10:12 PM

I doubt it, she's not much of an online player.

The glitches are hillarious. I think she said something about shooting an animal in the head and it still just stood there as well.

**Dudebro** · 06-01-2010, 10:14 PM

She must be unlucky. I've been shooting animals in the head(other places too obviously) since day one and nothing weird happened.

I'm not trying to defend this game like an ultra fan boy but from my experiences so far it's an awesome game with very minor issues(none of which happened to me directly).

**Kugyince** · 06-01-2010, 10:18 PM

It's all good. You know I don't care either way if people like a PS360 game.

I do think the glitches are funny. It also shows me that the game was rushed with the mentality of "we can always patch it later."

**Dudebro** · 06-01-2010, 10:23 PM

Either rushed or they didn't think they needed more beta testing. At least the only glitches aren't game breaking or frustrating.

**Kugyince** · 06-01-2010, 10:26 PM

True, nothing that erases your save file or prevents you from progressing that I know of.

**Slime Slayer** · 06-01-2010, 11:47 PM

LOL is that bird thing actually a glitch?

**Dudebro** · 06-02-2010, 12:03 AM

It could be a glitch but it could also be a cheat. There's a section for them in the game menu but I don't know how to use them. It seems to polished to be a random glitch. At one point an npc was waving his arms like he's actually flying. I'm calling shenanigans until someone confirms it.

It could very well be, but isn't is nice that we live in a world that DL patches can fix glitches? Back in the day when we played the classic consoles, companies would always try to rush games to get them out by Summer/Christmas, and if they had bugs they could not be fixed.

**jim5cents** · 06-04-2010, 02:14 PM

@ ten, I wonder if the bridge(s) she tried to go over where the Mexico/Last Island bridge(s) before the story had progressed that far.

The bird man video was great, especially the dead eye towards the end.

**Kugyince** · 06-04-2010, 04:50 PM

@Jim: No, she was able to get over it easily enough by getting off her horse.

**Slime Slayer** · 06-06-2010, 03:38 PM

I just watched a few of these videos, and I have a hard time believing these are real glitches. I think what might have happened is similar to the gta hot coffee mod. The programmers were goofing around and did all this stuff, then left the stuff in the game with no intention of people ever being able to trigger them.

**Winnebagel** · 06-06-2010, 04:32 PM

I have played the game quite a bit, and I have yet to encounter any glitches other than seeing a Five Finger Fillet player hovering 10 feet in the air above the table, and it wouldn't let me start the game because of it. I saved the game in the saloon and then it was fine. I haven't seen any others.

**jim5cents** · 06-06-2010, 04:46 PM

Did you 100% yet? I would have last week, but the gf dragged me off to see her cousin in North Carolina.
