Re: Red Dead Redemption

I suck at all the mini games, blackjack, dice, poker etc...

I like most of the Mini-games but blackjack is tough - I'll be happy just to get blackjack back in the positive (right now I'm at like minus $100)

Poker is awesome fun once you figure out how to consistently cheat. Playing a hand with 3 cards instead of 2 makes it much easier.

I like Liars Dice and Horseshoes and could care less about arm wrestling.

It's one of the first missions in the game.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

Is it just selectable as a weapon or how would I check to see if I got it? I don't recall ever getting it and I've gone through a bit of the story (not a lot but some)..

It's to the left on the weapon wheel. You had to use it on the mission you got it on (catching wild horses), that's how you get it.

I believe it is selectable.
You'd know if you got it because you have to use it during the misssion where you get it.

Spoiler

It's about the 4th mission for Bonnie

Re: Red Dead Redemption

I've never done any wild horses missions. The last mission I did for that woman is we went to Armadillo to get supplies. Is it after that then I take it?

I don't even rememeber, I think it's the 3rd mission I did. They were for Bonnie.

Yeah, keep doing Bonnie missions.
I think it's the 3rd task after picking up supplies and running off coyotes and thieves.
It doesn't take too long.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

Hmm.. I seem to have somehow skipped over cutscenes for a new mission. Screen loaded after I went to the "X" and it was

Spoiler

A duel with Allende's military guy (assuming) where I rescue Reyes again.

Might try reloading to see if there is actually anything leading up to it

Re: Red Dead Redemption

yea 100+ hours at 48.7%

ok it's confirmed... game time is hosed at least on my game... went to bed at 102 hours (4days 6hrs) woke up played for 30 minutes and it showed 5days 8hrs.
If I were to guess I'd say I have about 60 hours in actually..

Edit: theory... I have 3 manual game save slots and an auto save. I wonder if it's adding them all up?

Re: Red Dead Redemption

Maybe I'm missing something but what is the point of the gang outfits? Yeah I can go roam freely in the gang hideouts but whats the point in that?

Re: Red Dead Redemption

I was thinking about this yesterday.

I never, ever, thought I could say I would enjoy hunting ****ing skunks in a video game.

Yeah, I'm really enjoying the hunting, sharpshooting, and flower challenges...

I will say that I'm not the biggest fan of R*'s decision to limit whatever animal you're required to hunt. I'd see a crapload of foxes and whatnot normally but when I need them they're soooo hard to find.
