Re: Red Dead Redemption

All the main quests are mapped out. The only missible side quest is the one with the mysterious man. After you finish the game, it is no longer available. It does not count towards the 100% though.

As a note, though, I'd suggest doing it. It's one of the more interesting side quests.

Yeah, I finished that one before I beat the game. I also found it to be very intriguing, probably my favorite of the stanger missions(although some of the hilarious one's are up there too).

My favorite side mission...

Spoiler

The one where the guy jumps off the cliff with the glider, and that split second where he realizes he's not quite going to make it before it nose dives into the ground.

Had me rolling, I don't know what that says about me, but... still funny as hell.

The one where the guy is in love with his horse was a close second.

Yes, I think that was Deadlus and Son, that was hilarious.

One of my other favorites was where the politician blackmailed the other with pictures of him with a hooker. Those pictures were hilarious.

Considering all the setup that it took for cameras back then, makes you wonder how he got them. Especially the angles. lol

Back then? I think that is taking place in the bustling town called Blackwater in 1910ish or so They had running power lines, phone lines & cars & all the cops were sporting semi auto handguns. BTW fun thing to do in that town? Stack up on a ton of ammo for all yer firearms & go up on a roof top and start tagging people lol.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

I put RDR back in my PS3 to play last night, and I cant get into it the second time around, is there anyone else that feels that way? I beat it @ 90% the first time as well

I tried to start up a new game and had some trouble, too. Not really sure why - I've been able to play other games like GTA III and SA over and over and over with no problems.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

If you can plow through those initial tutorial missions, I think you'll find yourself hooked again.

The problem is that it's pretty tough to do that, because there's quite a few early missions that feel like tutorials.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

Finally beat the game. Probably my favorite game ever. Wanted to join in the discussion earlier, but just didn't want anything in this game spoiled.

Spoiler

Don't think I've ever been as sad at the ending of a game before like I was with this one. Was going to try and get 100% completion. I just don't know if I want to play this game anymore if I'm not using John.

I agree, I find it hard to play with Jack. I mean I didn't expect to want to play it a whole lot after I beat it, but I haven't even touched it since I finished Jack's mission after John's death. Although, I had all the stranger missions and challenges finished anyway, so I had basically finished everything I wanted to before I beat the game so that probably adds to why I don't have much desire to play it now.

Still, it's quite possibly my favorite game, might've leapfrogged GTA: SA which I didn't think was possible until I played this game.

Wow, two games I have in my library that I do not think I'll ever get rid of. Well maybe UC2 once 3 drops.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

So I just finished the game tonight finally

Spoiler

I am not interested in trying to reach 100% with Jack, nor am I interested in playing with him.

Wish the game would've given me an opportunity to choose whether or not John dies but I was thinking the entire time he killed off his old boys that he should've took his family and moved elsewhere.. he got caught slippin

..and i never found out, who was that I know you guy? who was he supposed to be?

Spoiler

I had the same feeling about Jack. I beat the game about a month ago and never tried to get 100%. I had a couple stranger missions and the last sharpshooter challenge and just couldn't bring my self to do them with Jack. Ending was amazing and bad all at once.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

Spoiler

That was a horrible ending

The guy played as an honorable character all of that time only for it to not matter at all.

He dies by getting shot up by a mob of authorities as if he was straight scum.
Did it really take all of that?

Then the whiney little boy takes over as the main character... there is just no connection there and no reason to want one.

Killing off the old man felt empty, and a waste of the entire story. I dont know what R* was thinking.

It just made zero sense in the end, for you to put that much work into the game then the main characted is brutally murdered by a fleet of cops after he has become an off to himself citizen.

I feel cheated in the end playing empty missions with the boy... there is just no fun in it
