Re: Red Dead Redemption

Anyone encounter a freeze when trying to do the "Gates of El Presidio Mission"? I'm there now and I'll be heartbroken if I can't continue.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

I still can't win a duel. Any other tips?

Are you waiting to draw until after "DRAW" pops up on the screen?

Are you waiting to 'lock in' a spot to shoot until the cursor turns white?

Are you aiming for key parts of the body?

First tip would be taking your time and aiming for one perfect shot on your opponents gun hand/arm. Unless the duel is part of a mission and you are supposed to kill him, in which case aim for the head.

I murdered Ross' family. His wife was hog-tied and placed on the railroad tracks. His brother was turned to charcoal and bone with a fire bottle. And Ross himself was disarmed with the 1st shot, and the remaining ones right in his face.

Spoiler

I really wish it wasnt a duel, or atleast if it would have let me disarm him. I really, really wanted to use my pump shotgun on him with the execution under the chin.. oh well.

After Dutch I figured that was it and then as I was doing the rest of the missions I thought how ****ty of an ending it was. Definitely liked the twist they did with the way the story ends, wasn't expecting it.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

Alright I just saw a man stop, jump off his horse, run a ways off the trail and take a leak. I'm just riding along in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night and I see this guy stop and get off his horse. I'm thinking this guy might be up to no good, but no he's just gotta tinkle. Unreal.

So where the **** can you find skunks...or is it just random and they're all over the place?

For me it was mostly random and I'd find them along with raccoons at night...

You can try searching the GameFaqs forums for "skunk" and they should come up with some areas to look at. I didn't have a problem with these (or raccoons). My issues were with armadillos and foxes for some reason.

Yea, while most of the gamefaqs forum is useless, they do have a few good stickies, including one that lists all the locations of all the animals.

It seems when I try to aim for the head, I have to unload my gun in him. I don't have any problems disarming him, but for some reason I can't get a one shot head shot.

Anytime you need a specific animal, expect them to be far and few until you dont need them anymore. The rates drop dramatically, atleast that was my experience with it.

Evening and mornings are the best times I found for the smaller animals.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

Almost done with the story. It looks like I have about 8 more missions left.

I went to the north shore by the gazeebo on the map, can't remember the name atm. If you put your cursor in between the railroad and the shore, I went directly west of that and came across 10+ one time. I didn't have any luck until the 3rd or 4th trip over there

Re: Red Dead Redemption

Ok..I won't be playing online until they patch the connectivity problems. My buddy has not been kicked out once but I have not been able to play a full multiplayer game yet. I have been kicked out every single time I have played online, free roam and other game modes.
