Re: Red Dead Redemption

Anyone know a good spot to kill beavers?

I found some in tall trees just go as far north as you can, by a little lake.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

If I didn't get everything done in new austin as far as side quests and treasure hunts. Once I finish Mexico will I be able to finish that stuff up? I kinda raced through a lot of stuff that first night, in a mix of excitement and delusion from it being after 5 am when I shut off the PS3.

Yeah man you can do it whenever you want.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

I think if you paint your shots when the target icon is white (as opposed to red), that you get more power with your shots. The more power you have, the faster the bar on the bottom right fills up and as long as your bar has more power than your enemies, you win.

I kind of missed the tutorial too because the girlfriend was talking. On that note, I find that I miss almost every tutorial popup because I just can't read the text or don't even see it sometimes. This is on a pretty good 40"LCD TV too - the tutorial text just seems really small.

If there's one complaint I have with Rockstar's GTA style games it is this. Their choice of fonts and text colors is annoying. I'm playing on a 50" and the text is still small, blurry, and hard to read.

Sweet, thanks. Now all I need is 10 red sage flowers, shouldn't have sold the ones I had.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

I might be the only person that goes for single shot wins in duels. I like to line up on a fools head and drop 'em.

But I wonder. Can you shoot the gun outta people's hands? Haven't tried that yet.

Yep the 2nd time I was challenged to a duel in Armadillo, I only fired one shot into the guy's hand. Dropped the gun, clutched his hand, and someone came up and walked him away. He wouldn't look at me and walked off muttering "oh man" or something like that.

Between that and shooting someone off a high perch like a huge boulder and watch them fall to the ground dead is what makes this game so badass.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

Damn, being famous and having people in Blackwater come up to you and say: "John Marston! Remember me - I'm [insert name]?" or "I'm sorry Mr. Marston, I didn't mean to walk into you" is awesome.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

Can anybody on here recommend any good Western books or authors? I am borderline obsessed with the Western genre right now.

"Centennial" by James A Michner.
I picked this book up anticipating Red Dead Redemption since it looked like a story of the old west around 1876. It's much more. Michner goes back in time and follows the land, animals and people that settled the west. It's been an educational and entertaining novel.
It's a long book. The first 100 pages about the geography and wildlife were a litttle boring for me but once he got to the Indians I was hooked. Sort of has a Lost vibe to it as well due to how the different characters cross paths.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

Props to Rockstar San Diego for all the unique interiors and environments. I just arrived at Thieves' Landing and it has a completely different feel from the other towns. I must have walked around for 25 minutes just looking at all the detail before even entering a mission. I had a couple of random encounters to that increased my fame.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

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 from hanging him, but will there be other opportunities to foil a plan to hang someone at this location called "hangman's rock" (or something)?

Guess no one likes me and I'm unimportant...

Haha I had the same encounter, managed the shoot the rope and killed all the guys, but I must have killed one wrong person because my honor went down. But I don't know if it happens again.

Maybe I'll have to stake that place out, hiding in the bushes to uncover some routine foul play?

...Sounds like a job for the honorable John Marston.
