How much neckbreaking is there in this game?

Looks good from all the videos, reviews and just the things that I've heard so far. It's been hyped a LOT and there's already been people calling it a game of the year candidate.

I'll probably end up mustering up enough cash for this so er... yeah, I can finally join the cool kids.

I'm loving it so far.  I haven't even tried the online stuff yet, just been working my way through the missions.

It's a lot of fun that's for sure.

Peace

I love the game but am not really a fan of the horse breaking missions. What works on one horse doesn’t seem to on the next one. When I do tame one its usually luck and the next time I’m not so lucky, and usually these missions involve breaking in more than two horses so it’s pushing it for me.

Need this input:

is it worth buying?

I cant rent it anywhere, so if its good ill buy it. If it'll get boring in 3 months, i already made that mistake with UFC 2010....dont wanna do that again.

[Adam Wrong]

buy it mate

longevity ahoy

[Black Death]

buy it

[Jon Tees]

I hear there’s some sort of a secrete bonus mission following what most people believe is the storyline conclusion of the game. But I haven’t been able to find it there aren’t really any indicators like any people to talk to or any additional mission icons for it. Is there anything I am/was supposed to do in order to bring this mission about? Or is it perhaps some sort of downloadable bonus content?

I would definitely buying it if you are in doubt as it has alot of replay ability in single player mode as well as the online mode. With more content coming shortly.

So I got it this morning.

OH
MY
GOD

HOW GOOD DOES A GAME WANT TO BE?!

Anything that lets me shoot vultures, goats and armadillos purely for the hell of it gets a big thumbs up from me.

[Shane Lawson]

I was playing online in free roam late last night with my friend Jesse (Jigsaw on here), and he hit me with a throwing knife for 70 YARDS AWAY, killing me instantly.

I was too impressed to be annoyed. lol

[Russ]

Haha, the other day I shot a tree and there was a big explosion of blood and feathers, turns out some birds were in the tree too xD

[Jon Tees]

I finished the story mode. The outcome may surprise/shock some people but to others it’s to be expected. Just now getting into the online play as well as finishing up the other achievements and side quest so far so good.
