Red Dead Redemption

Re: Red Dead Redemption

Have any of you less trigger happy gentlemen engaged in a fist fight yet? I accidentally barrelled over someone with my horse so he throws me off and puts up his dukes. I start beating on him and pretty soon, his two buddies join in. After I knock one out, I take out another. Just when I think I'm down to my last victim, the first guy gets back up and comes back at me.

This goes on for another five minutes. Eventually, two of them just give up and hobble away and it's just me and the original guy. I proceed to eff his face up for a few more minutes and came to the conclusion that there's no quit in him so I decided to lead him out into the wilderness where we could have some privacy and discretion.

When we get there, a blip shows up on my radar. I go to investigate and see someone being attacked by coyotes, I pull out my rifle and kill one. But I couldn't save the poor guy. I loot his body then turn to face my loyal advisary. Only, he was no where to be found. Little bitch ran away when he saw my gun.

Another time, someone wanted to fight me right before I could save my game so I pull LT and immediately follow with RT. Unfortunately for his brains, I forgot I still had my rifle out. I'm just so forgetful sometimes. Tsk tsk.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

Couple questions as I won't have mine til tomorrow.

1. Has anyone seen wildlife attack eachother? Or just humans.

2. What happens if your horse dies? When you get a new horse is there something that you must do so when you whistle that's the horse than comes to you?

3. If you are a villain are people afraid of you when first meeting you?

Re: Red Dead Redemption

I thought I had seen a snake before when I was riding on a mission but I had to follow someone so I couldnt stop and check it out, I hadn't seen one since so I thought I was mistaken...I can't wait to shoot the head off of one!

I agree wit hone of the above posts, when I put the game in for the first time I went straight to free-roam and went searching for bears. It got dark as I was walking around (no horse) and I kept hearing animals all around me, it made me nervous, every little noise I heard I spun around looking and expecting to see an animal charging at me. Then I found a bear, walked up behind it and killed it...only to have 2 more come out, one of which killed me without me being able to put up any sort of fight.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

I'm friggin' lost with a side mission:

Spoiler

A woman outside of the Warden's place was crying about her son. I walk up and talk to her and she said her son was taken and was somewhere near Hanging Rock. Okay. So I ride up there and some guy is shooting at something. I thought he was shooting at me, and missing badly (cuz he was...kinda shooting in the other direction) so I put a slug in his face. Turns out he was just some yokel out hunting deer or something, so I lose Honor. But...no boy.

There was this weird pink shaded area on the map just a bit from Hanging Rock. It had a name to it, but I don't remember now. So I ride over. There was something like "Press Triangle to Search for clues". So I bend down and examine a discarded shoe and some blood. But...no boy. No bandits. No no one but the innocent man's dead body that I gunned down. And looted.

What the diddle? Was it because I went at night? Was the weird horror movie scene connected with the boy? Anyone know what's up?

Re: Red Dead Redemption

Wow this game is really addicting.

Sorry to everyone who sent out Invites for me to play, I wanted to play the story a little to get all the controls down.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

Is there a way to identify what type of horse you have?

yea I'm really hoping there is a way to determine value, speed, steed type etc... have not found it though.. I know they have speed and simple description for purchasing new horses

Re: Red Dead Redemption

This game rocks ! I caved and bought it this afternoon. I had a guy try to jack me for my horse, I pulled out my rifle and shot him in the head off my horse, LOL. The movie theatre was funny as hell.

It reminds me of Call of Juarez, with more talking npc's, better dialogue and a way bigger map. Longer game too. This game has 57 story missions alone.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

If anyone else out there is finding themselves a tasty snack for the many forms of wildlife out there, I think I just figured out a little life saving trick. If you just turn and blindly fire your gun like crazy, it will scare of certain animals that are trying to dine on you. It works for wolves and coyotes at least. You can then turn around and try and pick them off as the retreat. The big cats out there just keep on coming regardless though.

Same here. Im going to enjoy single player most of the night. Sorry everyone.

3. If you are a villain are people afraid of you when first meeting you?

1. Saw a dog kill a rabbit.

2. It respawns later.

3. Wondering the same thing.

I'm finding it hard morally to go on a murdering spree. I will kill the occasional lone person, but the towns people are too nice and it just seems like you get to know them in this game.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

im riding alone in the desert when out of nowhere i hear gun shots. is he shooting at me? I dont know right away until he and his horse almost runs into me as he is hunting a coyote. I see his struggles and "help me".

he tells me "thanks mister". and i proceed to skin him and take home the meat.. screw that guy. he's lucky he wasnt the one that was shot and killed coming at me like that

That's it, that was the mission. You'll do that a few more times for a few other people before you find any resolution.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

Re: Red Dead Redemption

Ugh, try to install the game to the 360 hard drive and I get "Cannot read disc" message. There are dark spots all over the disc.. I can still play it off the disc, but it's constantly slowing down and speeding up again.. Hopefully Gamestop will let me exchange it at the store tomorrow since I ordered it from Gamestop online..
