Re: Official Larry C Red Dead Redemption thread!!!
I preferred Saints Row 2 to GTA4. Mostly because of the interruptions. I just wanted to play the game and not have NPCs getting angry when i didn't drop my mission to do things for them.
Now if suddenly in RDR Bonnie starts sending me smoke signals that she wants to meet for a spirited game of horseshoes and then she stops talking to me or sending me horses when i need them because i ignored her... then we'll talk.
Also, the not swimming thing is stupid i agree.

SR2 was alot better with mid mission checkpoints though. Some of the missions in GTA IV *cough*ThreeLeafClover*cough* were ridiculous.
I was gonna drop this, but you're just being ridiculous, seemingly for the sake of it.
RDR definitely trumps it online, mostly due to JC2 not having any online. But everything you listed above for JC2 is more fun and stays fun for longer than most of the stuff you listed for RDR. Horseshoes! Pick Flowers!! YAY!!!
You neglect to mention how 70% of JC2 is about 70 hours of game play - yeah, you got bored of that real quick...
I'll be surprised if I put half as many hours into the single-player of RDR before it gets boring.

I put close to 60 hours into JC2 I believe. I can probably do the same with RDR. I take my time with games. I enjoy the scenery. Alot of the time spent in JC2 was just spent flying or driving around. The map was so damn huge.
No, it's a video games credit.

If it was only video game credit then it sure didn't specify. I pre-ordered both RDR and MG2 at the same time. For MG2 is flat out said it was $20 video game credit but for RDR it simply said $20 Amazon credit, not mentioning anything about video games.
I have been able to obtain all of the DLC codes. I got the GameStop code for ordering there (I canceled my Amazon order), and found people to just give me the Golden Guns and War Horse codes.

I saved the guy from the cannibals outside of Armadillo and as he was running back to town a pack of wolves attacked and killed him

Rockstar Patches Red Dead Redemption Invisibility Glitch
"We have just deployed a fix that should address the issues some people have been experiencing in Red Dead Redemption online multiplayer. This fix should address a specific issue that was found where the player's multiplayer avatar, their horse or their weapons would occasionally not be visible in multiplayer games as well as an issue that some players were experiencing where they would lose connection to the various multiplayer modes."

This game looks pretty sweet but I am still playing GTA4 and stuck on Three Leaf Clover. 
Will get this one eventually.

No, the offer specifially said "Amazon Gift Card". Nowhere did it say Video Game Credit. There was even a picture of a gift card next to the offer. It looked different than all of the other pre order video game credits currently available.

Re: Official Larry C Red Dead Redemption thread!!!
When it's a game credit, they usually just add it to your account and it comes off automatically when you buy a game. For a gift card, I'm guessing they will email you a code to use next time you check out (I can't imagine them wasting postage to send you an actual card when all you really need is the code), but that's just conjecture on my part. They may just add a general credit to your account that will come off with your next order.

Finished up the "I Know You" stranger quest. Interesting little ending to it.

You're partially right. It said gift card at first and after it was released it changed to game credit. Perhaps it was two different ones?

The latest snag I've hit is when your dead-eye ability gets upgraded to the next level. I had no issues with level one but now with the multiple target thingy I find myself auto-aiming at innocent bystanders more often than not and if I forget to cancel the action then I'm screwed and have to reload.

it was an Amazon gift card (good on all Amazon products) for those who preordered ... and then at some point on the 18th (release date) the offer changed to a videogame credit for any orders that point forward
