Re: Red Dead Redemption

Is anyone else having a hard time getting used to the controls? It seems like they did everything the opposite of ME3, and my brain keeps thinking I'm in ME3 land. The LB to pull up the weapons is just jarring to me.

The cover systems also need some work, as it is not nearly as good as ME3. You kinda get stuck and there seems to be no good way to go from cover to cover really, am I missing something?

I also am unsure why the made the gun "spot" on the screen so damn small. I tried to play on expert but it was to hard to locate the spot and fire the gun. Went back to Normal control and its all good.

Its an impressive game no doubt, a for sure top 5 of the year. At this point I would put ME3 in front of it however.

I completely agree. I hate that the weapon wheel is the LB rather than the RB and selecting weapons with the RS. If you are going to copy someone's interface, use the same button mapping please.

I also agree the cover system is not nearly as good and it just feels like the controls aren't quite as tight and responsive.

I am having a blast with the game, but between the glitchyness and the control, I hesitate to say it is GOY when ME2 was so awesome.

10 hours in and I'm still riding the horse what's her face gave me at the beginning of the game.

LOL, when I'm ridding and my horse and he throws me off, I take my shotgun and blast him, then skin him and find the next nearest horse......

Re: Red Dead Redemption

I'm so addicted to poker(I guess one reason why I will never go gambling in real life lol) I'm getting pretty good at it too. I've been able to win some hands with some risky bluffing. I went all in when I had only a pair of 5's just to see what would happen and the other guys folded. I ended up winning a pot of 612 chips. It was awesome.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

The guy that does the voice of John sounds like Bill Paxton. I thought Paxton was doing the voice at first!

I've only got to play like an hour and a half so far (freaking puppy), but it is great. I can tell I'm going to love it.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

spotted a glitch possibly.

Spoiler

im hunting a cougar in the hills and finally kill it with my knife for the level 5/6 hunting challenge. but right after that, I get killed by some boars. so i get taken back to the house I last saved and I no longer have the cougar accounted for.. it did that as well when I killed two boars, then I was killed but a third. When I came back to life, I didnt have the boars accounted for. Am I missing something?

BTW, hunting and waiting is quite fulfilling. Better than any calbera game ive ever played

It loads your last save/autosave. So if you die while hunting none of the pelts you get will be saved.

Something that was happening to me last night was my horse dying for no reason.

Can you overspur your horse? Apparently the warhorse is sensitive. I was just riding away and it just died from under me.

The warhorse also has a bad allergic reaction to Wild Fever Flowers. I got off the horse to go pick some and when I turned around I hear my horse fall dead to the ground.

The good thing is, once you have a certificate for the horse you can activate it from your satchel and it always comes back.

Jeeezz, Thunderstorms are wonderful in this damn game, have a hard time watching the road with my horse as I find myself looking in the sky checking out the lighting effects of the lightning and thunder.

Gotcha, so dying it loads the last autosave, spawns you at one of your houses, and you lose anything you gathered after that last save. Thanks!
