i once blogged about a video game called red dead redemption. its just about the most perfect game you could ever play. i spent a solid 24 hours with this game when it was first released. i played the campaign from front to back and fell in love with every second. again, perfect. this week i went back to it. i spent another 18 hours (easy) making sure i had completed the single player game 100%. i enjoyed each and every second. I am still not done with this game.
sadly, one thing is missing from any further game play. during the original campaign, when making the transition from act 1 to act 2, a song is played. it is so perfectly timed and placed in the story that you get chills. as many hours as i have spent on this game, there hasnt been a second time that has felt as magical as the few minutes i spent riding into mexico listing to this perfectly placed song.
i know its hard for anyone to understand this unless they are a gamer and have played this game. maybe im just hoping that at best you can just enjoy a good song. i hope that at the very least. id love for you to play. you may just decide its a whole lot better that than shitty movie you wanna watch.... cus it is.

I totally agree with you, I also got chills during that incredible moment, It made me just want to drag out my travel time and relish in the awesome scenery along the way. I'm definitely a completionist especially on games that take my breath away which aren't many but I must say that Rockstar has stepped up their game with the last few releases and storylines. I have played it through twice and 100% it both times in single player as well. I cannot tell you how depressed I was when the game came to an end, my lame gamer self spent time thinking of different stories that could be considered a reason for Rockstar to release a prequel or something. The only issue I had with RDR was the cut scene time that could not be skipped during skinning of animals especially because its in real time and alot of times when I would stand up 2 or 3 bears would be waiting for me haha. Anyways, working on 100% completion of Noire right now, another great game, I still can't believe the facial mo-cap quality but that's a whole other story. Thanks for the post!!!
