Exactly what I was thinking, they will be the ones to start posting little nit picky negative things about the game well before anyone else.


Slow your roll people.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

Yeah I'm afraid to go too fast! I don't want it to end.

It's funny because the GTA games seem to never end and I burn out on them. RDR is flying by.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

Re: Red Dead Redemption

Probably a silly question, but has anyone hogtied someone and put them on the railroad tracks? Surprisingly satisfying .

Spoiler

I did it to the old man who wanted me to pay him $200 for the deed to his land, I had $217 so I pulled a gun on him, just to scare him of course. Old coot dug his own grave. I was expecting the train to drag him for a bit, but nope, old man explosion!

Re: Red Dead Redemption

Oh, and would someone mind just basically explaining how to duel? I've had a few now and I managed to win one but I honestly don't remember what I did. I know the instructions come up but maybe it's cause my TV is too small, but I don't really get it haha.

Question:

Spoiler

When riding by some large rock formation after taking out Walton's gang and helping the Armadillo Sherriff w/ his first objective there was a group of people hanging a man. The man being hung was saying things like "You people are sick" etc. I couldn't stop them in time, but will there be other opportunities to foil a plan to hang someone at this location called "hangman's rock" (or something)?

I'm not really plowing through it. I'm doing tons of those stupid hunter, survivalist and dead eye challenges.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

No offense but you are the single most negative gamer i have ever seen. I seriously think there's no pleasing you when it comes to a game.

Personally this is as close to a perfect game as i have played. No it's not "perfect" but its the closest we've ever come in the gaming world imo.

LOL! I was going to say the same thing. If it's not the Sony bashing, its the negativity.

I didn't get a chance to play this last night, trying to finish up Ratchet to send back to Gamefly so they can send me Backbreaker on release. I hope to get some good playtime in this weekend. I still have not tried the MP yet, I'll be trying that this weekend considering how much everyone is loving it.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

I figured the game would lose some of the "newness fun" after the frist few days, but the game is still just as awesome. I've seen a few minor things, but they all made me laugh instead of getting me frustrated. I just got down to Mexico and I already miss New Austin. Mexico is so different.

I keep getting lost in all the distractions. I went into the saloon in Thieves Landingearly in the morning and played some poker. It started raining and I stayed in there playing poker, liar's dice, and blackjack for at least one in game day. I was trying to wait the rain out, but it didn't stop so I left and did some of the story.

Also, one thing that I think is a nice touch is the weather isn't the same all over the map. Onlinr I was playing with 5 or 6 friends and it was raining in New Austin, but perfectly dry in Mexico. I could also see the rain clouds moving towards Mexico though.

Online is awesome too. Free roam is a blast and has me laughing a lot. Who knew knifing a bear to death would be so funny? The only things I dislike about online are the lack of the lasso, the lack of minigames, and that you can't set it up for Expert only. Its pretty annoying when you are shooting some guy and he just locks onto you and gets an easy kill. I think though leveling up unlocks expert only game doesn't it?

Snake?

SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKKEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!

Ignore ignore ignore.

You're enjoying the game, that's all that matters. Tune it out.

BTW, MP is such a freakin' blast. There are a few things I would have liked to see:

-The Lasso. BOOO @ R* for this one.
-Horses fighting back. If I punch a horse a bunch of times, they should start doing something.
-Leg damage. I emptied a few rounds into someone's leg and they're still jumping around like a damn jumping bean.
-Taking down trains. I haven't seen one in multiplayer yet.
-C'mon, give me my duels!

Well, I don't know if I'm really doing it right, but I've only lost one duel (and that was when I was trying to be cheeky and shoot his hat off before disarming him), and here's what I do:

When the "DRAW!" flashes on the screen I hit L2/trigger as fast as I can, then as quickly as possible paint my shots (with R2/trigger, just like normal shooting).

It's been working for me, but I might actually be doing it wrong. I missed some of the tutorial tips because my wife was talking to me when I did my first duel.

Man that's exactly how I feel Jistic. I'm like 13 hrs in with about 34% completion, and I'm thinking "Crap, I need to slow down!" lol.

I've had a hard time finishing the GTA games despite enjoying them quite a bit. But I swear I somehow manage to like this game even more every time I play it. This is the ONLY game I've ever played where I've truly wanted to complete everything that there is to do.

So when you say you hit LT as fast as you can, you mean like rapidly tap? Could very well explain why Tobias Weldon shot my face off.
