really pissed when those guys hung Bonnie. I went on a rampage, taken out dudes left and right, I WAS PISSED. Believe me, you would not have wanted to be in my path. Thank god she didn't die.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

And it has a crazy end to it.

btw, has anyone had the opportunity to do the instant kills? I've seen a couple of times where Marston puts his gun in a characters gut and shoots him, same thing with a knife.

They are awesome. It does it automatically when you get really close to a person and shoot. I've shot people in the gut, stuck my gun under their chin and shot them and stuck my gun right under their head behind them and shot, it's great.

I love the gun battles in this game, I feel like a beast switching back and forth between Deadeye just taking enemy after enemy out.

Have you guys ever seen the last scene of The Last of the Mohicans? Where they shoot all those guys on the cliff, thats how I feel like in this game lol.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

What is stranger mission?

? marks will appear on the map. A person will talk and tell you what to do/look for.. I hear there are 18 in total in the game, found all throughout the map... many with 3-4 parts to them.

On another note, has anyone tried to jump their horse across some gaps? sidewinder gulch has a few spots...

Spoiler

during one of the treasure map hunts, youll go up on top of a really high mesa ridge overlooking the water... From there you can jump down with your horse almost 400 feet into the water.. Its almost always an instant death but its always fun to try

Honestly, for the average person playing this game maybe 10 hours a week, you'll get atleast 60 hours out of it just to complete everything. Throw in multiplayer, and this games lasting until christmas or beyond.

I just had a trifecta of awesomeness.. I was taking back a bounty on horseback getting chased by his crew, only to run into some coyotes attacking, and as I shoot, theres two other guys just hanging by a campfire who join in on the fun.

btw, I spent like an hour yesterday luring a bear to the middle of great plains attempting to get him into blackwater lol

Re: Red Dead Redemption

I know someone posted about this earlier somewhere, but how do you figure out the damn treasure maps. I've got my challenges in the journal all up to level six except for the treasure hunter just because I am completely lost on where to even look. Guess I wouldn't have made a good pirate.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

Ok....kinda confused with the MP aspect.
My buddies and I played free roam the past couple of nights (public and private),and it seemed like when we played the public matches,the other team was either really,really good,or they had auto-aim on.

Is it possible for some to be using auto-aim,while others are using regular aim? in other words,my posse couldn't hit the broad side of a barn,while it seems the others were killing us with ease.

I admit,we're not to experienced with the online aspect as of yet,but if this was the case,I would have thought that R* could've balanced the rooms a little better.
The other thing we didn't like was the fact that you could see where everybody was at....imo,this took all the suspense out of just free roaming and "accidentally" riding into another posse.

I'm sure it had to do with the rooms we were in,but every match was a "deathmatch" type of game,even when we went off to do other things,instead of going for the objectives,such as gang hideouts or what-not,all they wanted to do was a "deathmatch" type of game.

I'm still highly impressed with the SP portion of the game,I was just a little turned off by the MP aspect,especially when it seemed like the other posse's were using auto-aim..to me,this seems like a "cheap" way to level up your character.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

Everyone has auto aim enabled unless you change your personal shooting set up to Expert.

Auto Aim is also allowed in every game mode unless you enter a hardcore match. In hardcore, which is unlocked at level 15ish?, everyone has auto aim off no matter what.

yeah man, just get close to them and pull the trigger.

what's auto center? I don't notice a difference between auto center on and auto center off.

that's why I can only stomach the team games atm and go to gang hideouts to level up faster so that I can unlock those. MP will be a blast when no one can auto-aim...until then it's a wonk show

In the audio section there is a option for headphones only, what does this

Re: Red Dead Redemption

After beating the game and getting to 80.1% completion (after 27 hours) - I'm tempted to start over with expert aiming and the map turned off.

I would've been if there was any potential for a relationship there. But no he's a married man...and it seems after that mission she's entirely forgotten about.

As much as stabbing a dog caused an international incident...it turns out that lassoing a dog and then setting it on fire in self defense was what actually started World War 1.

I found a crooked blackjack dealer. I hogtied him to the tracks,slit his throat and then watched the train run him over.

I tried to hang a poker cheat by dragging him and going over cliffs but this glitchy mess of a game let him get away somehow. He was promptly eaten by wolves.

I started with expert aiming. But I'm keeping the map on.
