Good choice. It's the superior version.

Played both versions?

Is Deadwood worth a watch then?  Running low on decent shows to watch at the moment.

Not really, no. I swear myself, but the language in it is terrible. Not very realistic either as (Despite some recent films) even the 'Wild West' was very conservative where language was concerned - you could get into legal difficulties for swearing in front of women, for instance.

Some decent story lines, but way over the top.

Absolutely. Just be warned that the ending isn't one that's at all satisfactory. Given that they had the rug pulled out from them and never got to do the planned final season

No. But there are these sites, gaming sites, and they...play games, and then write about them, then people like us can go and read what they have written.

I have heard about these sites, some of them even get paid by the developers to make a game sound good, when it might not be. Some sites even spread rumours about another console. I have heard that fans of consoles are even worse than PC or Mac fanboys. I always read those sites with a pinch of salt. I heard rumours too. Like PS3 version not being 720P (360 is 720P). Have written an e-mail to Rockstar to ask about this, I do not expect an answer but you never know.

Think i'll *cough* get hold of a few episodes as a taster.

[Brian Blessed]

yes, i've noted how people on ps3 have a more mature attitude towards others...

The average age is at least 13 on PSN.

Well tbf, if Deadwood had been realistic it would've been a camp filled with people sounding like Yosemite Sam

I didn't notice that.

Edit. Just checked my order status and estimated dispatch is this week.

[iSmiff]

4 to 6 weeks is to cover their asses

I'm quite shocked someone like yourself Andy would be put off by the language unless you find swearing offensive? Yes there's a lot of swearing but it's not enough to put me off watching it as one of the reasons. Didn't they say that the whole reason there is a lot of swearing in it was simply because they changed any curse words of that time to modern ones?

So whenever they say c*nt, cocksucker or motherfucker it would have actually been stuff like 'goldarn it' which would have come across as comical.

I thought it was well worth watching, if only for Ian McShane's performance.

[Mr Premier League]

Been playing it today and loving it.

Held up a train but couldn't drive it?!

Lasso someone hogtie them and drop them on the train tracks and wait.

This thread is about a game, not what you do for shit and giggles.

[iSmiff]

OR JUST STFU TALKING ABOUT IT will also suffice

[iSmiff]

I hope a mod reports your IP to Web Sheriff so they can arrest you for funding terrorism.

2 outfits, it amuses me that people care about such things, i mean it's not like it's a Team Fortress 2 hat

[Walshy nMe®]

Or REAL night vision Goggles!!!!!

[N-Red]

2 outfits, it amuses me that people care about such things, i mean it's not like it's a Team Fortress 2 hat

1 outfit, 1 area.

[iSmiff]

whoops, 1 area

which is probably tiny

etc

[N-Red]

Size of the area is irrelevant. Some multi console owners get swayed by such trivial things, Batman AA managed to sell more on PS3 largely due to the fact of the playable joker character- and its not often multiplat games sell more on the PS3.

[iSmiff]

I was swayed by the fact I prefer one controller over the other. Simple as that.

Well theres the online aspect of things, what console your friends are getting it on, which version actually runs better, and controller too.

But personally i would go for whichever console my friends were getting it on- assuming both versions are equal.

[iSmiff]

I went for Xbox because Walshy is getting it on PS3.

[N-Red]

 

[iSmiff]

I just hate that guy so  much.

[Walshy nMe®]

So you bought both? 

[Walshy nMe®]

I went for Xbox because Walshy is getting it on PS3.

I'm gonna buy a 360 just for this one game and sit online waiting for smiff to log in.

[iSmiff]

I'm going to call myself  Big Tex

[Uhoh AureliOs]

Only hardcore uber gamers play xbox360 so I'm getting the ps3 version to rule all the noobs. Smiff is too 1337 for me.
