Still grinding out AC Revelations, but I did have a go on Red Dead Redemption the other day...Definitely going to play it properly once I'd done going through the AC ones...

RDR is probably one of the best games I played on my Xbox.

Apparently it isn´t available to the PC and even if it were, it´s a sure bet it´d be Steam-dependent

I remember Red Dead Revolver on the first xbox. So awesome!

A prequel, maybe?

It was indeed... ...There's also a follow-up coming at some point in the near future on the next-gen machines...

I am looking forward to getting into it properly though...It'll be a while yet though...

Red Dead Redemption is a sequel I think. Maybe. You certainly didn't need to know anything of Red Dead Revolver in order to enjoy it.

Red Dead Redemption is by far my favorite game by Rock Star. GTA is a lot more popular, but I prefer the wild west, and Marston is actually a pretty good guy. The story is very good. Gameplay is more fluid than GTA games were. And the horses rocked. BethSoft wanted theirs to be like RDR's and they missed it by a lot.

Reading the stories that I post about in the "commentasaurus" has cause me to revisit Cyrodiil in Oblivion...finished the tutorial with a Bosmer last night. Reading the "Mojave Wanderings" has caused me to revisit Megaton in the DC Wasteland...that dude is level 3 now. Skyrim is always there for the backdrop of my fan fic...Valrimor is close to meeting Balgruuf (or Jarl Ballin, as SubRosa has introduced). This forum has me playing more games than I have in a long time. And then when I need an MMO fix, I shoot down WWII fighters and bombers in War Thunder.

And speaking of Oblivion...I had an issue that I wonder if anyone else has had. When I got the hankering yesterday, I dragged my GOTY Edition off the shelf and loaded the disk. My DVD drive wouldn't recognize that a disc was loaded. It recognizes every other CD or DVD I put in the drive...software, music CDs, other games...everything but my Oblivion disc. Anyone got any idea why or how this could be?

I wanted to play so badly that I bought the game again through Steam and play it there now. I actually got a good deal on it...$14.99 for the game and ALL...and I do mean ALL available DLC. The only DLC my GOTY Edition had was SI and KotN, and it was $40.00 when I bought it.

Put your disc in the drive, start Windows Explorer, and see if it shows there. Double-click on Readme.txt to make sure you can read from the disc. If you can, its not a problem with your disc. My guess would be Securerom or whatever drm solution Oblivion has. If you can't read the disc, then make sure its clean, and look for cracks and scratches.

Oh, I have two discs in my Oblivion GOTY. Make sure you are using disc 1. It may be that is the only one the launcher looks for when you start up the game.

And wow, $15 for the whole enchilada! That is the great thing about playing old games. You can get them really cheap.

Just play it if you ever have a chance no matter what it's on.

It's actually amazing.

It's one of the only games to make me truly feel feelings.

Since I don´t have a console, that means I have to buy the game and a console. And I don´t have a job atm...

Do you have a spark plug?

Did all of that. Windows Explorer shows there is no disc in the DVD drive. If I right click my DVD drive in Explorer and choose open, it tells me to insert a disc when it is already in. I am using Disc 1. When I double click the OBSE launcher, an error message says I need to insert the disc when it is already in. The Readme.txt file (from when I originally loaded the game years ago) does not address the issue at all. It's just bizarre, because this is only happening with my Oblivion disc.

Hmmm. Maybe a patch is needed for a 64-bit system. Than again OB isn't *that* ol---

Oh Dear Lord, I am ancient....

I can confirm this is not the case.

Cool. Cuz thats the exte t of my knowledge.

I agree entirely with you. Red Dead Redemption is a fanstatic game. The story is great, the gameplay is fun and everything is impressive. Just bought it two weeks ago and never stopped playing it.

Now, apeaking of Grand Theft Auto . . . the new game looks amazing. The gameplay looks far more impressive than the previous ones. Scuba diving? Tenis? Customization for weapons, cars and even appearance? Hunting animals and bounties? Bike riding? Yes, please!

I love GTA and I love RDR and I love(d) Saints Row.

Finished Revelations and am now on AC-III...I've realised that this is my fave of the games...Absolutely 100% certain...It's brilliant and am looking forward to taking even longer to get through it this time... ...


EDITYNESS...5/8/13...

Right...I'm completely bored with it now...So many game-ending bugs suddenly crept into it that it was just impossible to play with any sort of calmness any more...

It's a shame, up till the last couple of days, I really was enjoying it more than the others...Shame that...

I'm gonna go on a Sims 3 binge.

I only have Late Night because each expansion is almost as much as the main game and there's like 50000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
0 expansions including "Katy Perry Sweet Treats" which is a stuff pack.

Also has anyone here heard of Pajama Sam?
