At what point did you decide this game was awesome?

The intense glitching must be a PS3 thing. Ive seen very few glitches on the 360 (same with Fallout:New Vegas).
I think for me it was the mission where you had to save the women at Ridgewood Farm. Was brutal and awesome. Also, the thunderstorms in the game did it for me. Theyre by far the most realistic thunderstorms Ive seen in a game thus far.

Yeah, pretty much. The glitch count went into the 30's for me before I lost count. For a 20 hour game, I just couldn't muster the justification for liking it and seeing past the flaws.

Fairly early on in the game, when you're still just puddling around doing chores/learning stuff at the McFarlanes Ranch.
I'd been out hunting and was on a ridge looking over the valley coming home when the first storm rolled in. I just sat there on my horse watching the wind and the rain build up and darken the landscape, I was just admiring the little specks of rain that get on the camera lens and thinking 'that's a nice touch', when the thunderclaps started going off and I was like,
'Whoa! This is amazing!!'
Haha. Must've sat there doing nothing but soaking up the whole experience for like 5 minutes or something before I realised I was just sitting on my couch at home with a controller in my hand not really doing anything more than playing a video game. Honestly how many other games make you really stop and take in the natural environment like that?
As you say, awesome. -

Umm there were numerous points
-First time i realised that there were so many animals and i could kill them all
-First Cougar attack
-Getting lost in Pike's Basin and then a thunderstorm kicking in
-Riding back home for the first time and 'compass' is playing
Most awesome point had to be the first time i was just riding around one of the town's and a posse rode in shooting the place upthat was friggin awesome!

It was quite early on when I was just riding through the beautiful landscape, doing side missions and just enjoying the game. Although riding through Mexico and hearing Far Away playing in the background was absolutely amazing, I think it made me realise all over again just how great this game is!

I would say pretty much the first time I walked down main street of Armadillo and was stunned at how real everything looked. I felt like I was in a time machine, or at least looking through a time-transcendent lens, or something.
Otherwise, I would say the Fort Mercer mission. The game is tons of fun up until that point, but that mission - which I had been anticipating - took it to another level. -

I bought an X-Box 360 for this game because I had a feeling this game was the one I'd been waiting my whole life for, and I was right. This game exceeded my high expectations several times early on in the game.
Not necessarily in any order:- Walking around Armadillo and feeling like I'd traveled back in time.
- The first cougar attack. It was so unexpected and startling.
- First thunderstorm. Realistic and stunning.
- Exploring New Austin on horseback during a starry night.
- Perhaps the greatest moment of them all: Hunting wolves on a starry night at Riley's Charge early on in the game. I ran out of ammo, the wolves killed my horse, and I had to fend off packs of re-spawning wolves until a new horse came along. I loved how suddenly I went from collecting pelts to survival mode.
