All the Fame in the West doesn't help me very much if I'm not a great shot.

Please PM me if you're interested. Thanks!

Wish I would have seen this earlier, I would have swapped with you.

Question: How do you capture a fugitive? I'm trying to claim bounties but I can't figure out how to take them alive. Do you have to lasso them?

Re: Red Dead Redemption

This is awesome. There's so much detail and random events.

I came across some drunk guy crying by the side of a dead woman; I stood there for a second and then started to ride off. Suddenly I hear a gunshot and I just do a dead stop on my horse and quickly turn around and go back and sure enough the guy is lying there dead. So I looted the rest of his bullets.

Some cool fun with the wildlife. Chased down a pack of foxes or something and shot all but one... It was in a field, though, so I couldn't find their bodies afterward to skin.

On top of that, I was exploring around and suddenly I'm knocked down off my horse (who then lands on me) only to find out some cougar has found me... It was too fast and it killed me pretty quickly. I forgot about that special slow-mo thing during that encounter, or I may have lived.

What happens when you die? Do you lose something? In GTA I always just reloaded because I didn't like losing things. In this one I just let it go and respawned in town and went back out exploring. I couldn't see if I lost anything, though, but I appeared to have all the stuff I had looted from animals as well as my weapons. I had no money to lose; so I don't know if it would have taken some.

Yup.

You can start doing them, just look in the journal -- they aren't "misions" really I don't think.

Get a little farther in single player -- do the missions with that women -- and you'll get the lasso eventually.

PS, free roam = hot.

Overkill? Yes. Fun? OH YEAH. This game just keeps getting better the more I play.

You did the right thing as the same happened to me except I fell for his trick and he stole my horse. I was able to Winchester him right in the back as he was riding off though and claimed my horse back. What a game lol.

I don't get the point of free roam... what is there to do?

Re: Red Dead Redemption

Just got the game. I got lucky, it was sold out at gamestop but, they had just a few copies left at wal-mart(FTW!!!). I haven't gotten a chance to pop it in yet but, I will pretty soon. I haven't hardly followed this game at all and I've heard the gameplay and visuals are pretty nice so I thinking I'm probably going to be blown away at first sight.

I don't expect to be disappointed because, one It's made by Rockstar and two It's made by Rockstar. I have yet to buy a game made by them that I didn't absolutely love. Hope It's worth the 60 bucks.

Everything you can do in SP, but with your friends. It's tough putting the controller down, seriously.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

So up until now I hadn't committed any crimes...well...I accidentally ran over this guy who JUMPED IN MY WAY while I was going full speed on my horse.
Granted I shouldn't be going full speed right through Armadillo, but he could have jumped the other way.

Ok so people see it happen and I have a bounty of $5. No big. Then I make the dumb decision to shoot at the guys trying to catch me...and now I've managed to rack up a $140 bounty on my head. I can pay that off seeing as I have $228.
So on the map I see that is says where I can pay the bounty, I'm right where it is but there's nothing prompting me to pay or anything.
Am I missing something here?
BTW I have a Pardon Letter as well...not sure if that makes a difference or not.

one thing is storm gang hideouts with people which is really fun even with just one other person.

There is one question I need the answer to though... I want to play free for all or other PvP modes, but want everyone to use expert aim (no auto-aim) I can't for the life of me figure out how to do that. To me that's what's taking the fun out of MP is everyone just using auto-aim. I'd like free roam and any other mode I enter to be filled with just expert aim people.

Some times the option doesn't come up for some reason, happens to me too.

Oh ok. Thanks for the answer.
EDIT: Just reset the game and it worked. Weird.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

So I lasso'd the guy that attacks the prostitute, lay him on the tracks nd waited for the train.

Very much worth the couple of hours it took for the train to arrive. Pretty shocking.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

Wow the thunderstorms are awesome. I like how you can tell when a storm is rolling in by the clouds and how it gets progressively more cloudy and windy.
Very very cool.
And I just shot the head off of a buck. Sweet.
