Red Dead had a really good weather system, when It was raining people would even find shelter.
Did anyone else notice that the moon would go though several stages in one night?

Oh, Just Cause 2 was pretty good. The rain was a little overwhelming at times, but the snow and overall beauty was really good.

Yeah, just cause 2 and even Crysis 1 was really good.

I havent even played RDR yet...and theres so much positive feedback..but western games aren't my thing...i'm really enticed too though.

The weather effects in Left 4 Dead 2 are pretty great:

While the rain was stupid, the storms in Morrowind always managed to make me jump, with that one loud thunder boom.

Yes yes , that thunder was hella loud if you had some microphones on and weren't paying attention . Scared me quite a few times I must say.

STALKER: SoC with the Complete 2009 mod has some amazing weather.

I'm going with STALKER: CoP with Complete, which is comparable to the SoC version but CoP also has blowouts in the vanilla game. Those are awesome.

I think a lot of football games do weather pretty awesomely. When in snows the players move diferent, you can see their breath. When it rains the fields get torn up and the jerseys get dirty. Its pretty cool.

The lighting and rain in morrowind really really hit home with me.

So far in a non-modded game I say Red Dead is so far the best.
