M y god, I never knew how much of a fucking hassle it is just to transfer out of somewhere. I had to leave my vacation a day early, fly out to my command just to find out my ship's already gone. I had to go to another ship and bunk there. They put me to work the next morning, saying that I'll be on my ship later that day, just to work me to death and tell me my ship comes in yet another day. Then packing everything up, moving over to my ship, putting all my stuff into a small little coffin sized bunk (I mean that literally, except a coffin is at least lined with cushions) and then straight to work from there to only find out that we're nothing but nerds and we have a bunch of brand new games too XP. So, on to my review (which might be the last for a little while, no promises on anything just yet.)
Rockstar is known for it's vehicle jacking and killing games (Grand Theft Auto series). They wanted to change things up a bit. Now I get to steal horses!!! Wait, what? How the hell did I go from cars to motorcycles to helicoptors to fuckin horses? Wasn't it suppose to keep  upgrading to flying refrigerators or something? I mean, it's one thing to steal a horse, but then the graphics are so fucked up that it looks like the horse is so fast it's breaking the laws of phisics as it fazes through fucking walls!!!! The travel time from one place to another is a pain in the ass. I mean, in the other games I at least enjoyed going through the city on my way to kill someone for stealing something, but now I don't even get to see some sights except my horse's ass bobbing up and down the entire fuckin ride. Great, just what a couple thousand dollars should be blown on: an ass of a horse!!!
The fucking mini-games. Ok, shooting and killing pigs or drinking are fully acceptable, but horseshoes? Really? The guy's going to stop killing, drinking and stealing to play some fucking horseshoes? Next, the shooting. As an FPS lover (gun shot in  the background as blood puddle flows out onto the floor) *cough* SARCASM *cough* I love the way the gameplay works. The shooting is perfect *cough* the guy goes exactly where I want him to when I want him to *cough* and the instant kills from mountain lions make the game so much more of a challenge *puke*...sorry, I had some bullshit stuck in my throat I had to get out.
The controls for moving are a mess as well. I mean, really people, I thought we mastered this by now. You can use the 'X' button for so much more if you stop having to hold it down to fuckin run. All you have to do is push the stick all the way in the direction of where you want to go. If you want to walk, fine, push it halfway. Also, when you are running, let the guy be controllable too. I couldn't steer him for shit if I was trying to get through a doorway, not to mention over a step.
The store is almost completely useless, seeing that if you want a gun you see in the store, 9 times out of 10 it's going to end up somewhere in the line of gameplay. Also, even though you can spend money to restore health, stamina and bullet time, they regenerate on their own so there's literally no real need unless you're in some kinda hurry.
All in all, it's basically just another timesake game, like all of Rockstar's other game's, that have no real point but plenty of missions to waste time with. C+
