Am I the only person that didn't hear the song "Far Away". I wonder if it's because I looted the bodies first.

Same happened to me. Pretty disappointing.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

Few things that have tweeked me about the game thus far wanted to get you guys' opinions since i am by no means a student of the late 1800's/early 1900's.

John Marston talks, sometimes, like a dude from another generation, as do a lot of people.

Spoiler

For instance, he makes mention of his "dance card being full" and he makes a comment about a high school reunion at once point. Also there is a mission where we are black mailing a politician with photographs, its like dude this is the old west, are there spy cams?

also it bugs me that they call the sniper rife, a sniper rifle. I mean Im sure they had something similar but its not called a sniper rife back then was it?

i did that side mission up north. not in the west.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

Don't let it annoy you. The term came into use after the civil war. Prior to that the terms "sharpshooter", and "skirmishers" was used. Completely appropriate.

They also had reunions after the civil war (soldiers who served), so you'd think they'd have high school reunions around the turn of the century, which I think is when this takes place.

Are you playing this game Jim? I've never seen you post outside of the baseball forums.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

That's a shame, that's one of the highlights of my experience with RDR so far. Though not quite out of Mexico yet.

Same here. That and the end as well.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

99.5% completed and I'm going to try to finish it tonight. All I have to do is get the US Marshal uniform(eliminate 5 US gangs in 24 in-game hours which is about an hour and a half). It sounds hard but it is really not that bad.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

Wow I just started and

Spoiler

I just got past the first conversation with the marshall in amarillo about the gang causin trouble in the saloon. Flippin epic voice acting, and incredible animation in the entire scene. It felt so dang real. This game is GOLD.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

No song for me either and I did loot the bodies after the shootout.

From what I've read about this,is as soon as you get on the horse...STAY ON..lol I forgot about it and broke a horse as soon as I started going up the trail,so no song for me either.

I believe the song starts (from what I've read) about 10 seconds after getting on your horse and heading up the trail...unfortunately,I wasn't on my horse long enough to find out. Oh well....that's another reason for another play through

Re: Red Dead Redemption

I have an unearthly hatred of cougars now.

I'm out picking flowers (for a certain Stranger mission near Thieve's Landing) out near Rio Bravo, hop back on my nice lil Kentucky Saddler, take about two gallops and one comes outta friggin' NO WHERE and kills my horse from behind with me still on it. Scared the hell outta me. And to make matters worse, there was a wolf with it. The wolf didn't actually attack me, just kinda growled at me from a distance, I Dead Eye'd 'em both. The wolf was a headshot and went down instantly. The cougar kept going and I killed it at a distance outside of Dead Eye.

Feeling vengeful for my mount, I run over and skin the cougar...then get mauled by another cougar. Which had also partnered up with a wolf, which was what actually finished me off before I could get back up.

Now I'm really miffed. I spawn at a nearby save I made a few minutes prior, call a random spawn horse the game gave me, and ride around looking for more flowers or another cougar. Which ever I found first.

I located the last flower I was looking for...

And then ANOTHER cougar comes and kills my horse. Thankfully, he left his wolf buddies behind, so I took him out and campsite traveled back to MacFarland's Ranch to find I was on top of an unsaddled Kentucky Saddler that I didn't even have to work to get. It was just what I was riding after I fast traveled.

Moral of the story: This game is awesome. Frustrating, but awesome.
