Re: Red Dead Redemption

Finally beat the game.

Spoiler

That had to be one of the saddest endings with John dying. It was such a change from the norm in video games. I love that John Jr. kills Ross, but it still gave me such a hollow feeling since he waited for such a long time to seek revenge. It'll be interesting if they'll create DLC or pick up the story from the son's perspective in the next iteration.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

Well I'm stuck at a standstill right now. Says I have completed 82.6% of the game but suddenly nothing new is showing up on my map. To pass the time I have been doing some of the challenges. I have helped only 12 strangers so I know there should be more to do. Any ideas?

Definitely a tear jerker. Putting several bullets in Ross's head was such a satisfying way to end the story.

I had no idea Ms. MacFarlane gave you a Kentucky Saddler at the beginning of the game.

I'm pretty sure that during my first playthrough I immediately ditched that horse to stay loyal to the one I had at the beginning of the game. Not this time.

Does/Did anybody else find themselves not doing nothing in the game and not even bothering with the main story of the game or any of the side missions? Everytime I turn this game on, I find myself just riding around for no reason lol.

I accidentally drowned mine by jumping into the river with it. I honestly have no idea what the hell I was thinking.

I had no idea it was a Kentucky Saddler either. It didn't seem much faster / better than any other horse i had ridden. I think i shot it when it bucked me off one time and never looked back. I ride that evil horse now pretty much exclusively.

i do that all the damn time. It's probably why i've owned the game for months now and have only just gotten to Mexico this week. I need to get through some of the story but i keep wandering off exploring etc.

The Saddler and the Half-Bred suck so much compared to the American Standardbred, which I believe is the evil one. Playing through most of the game without that awesome black horse is torture at the moment.

I can seem to find out what breed the evil horse is. It seems to have awesome stamina which i thought was one of the bad things about the American Standardbred (isn't it the fastest horse but has poor stamina)?

After research, I think you have this one:

Anybody seen this? http://reddead.wikia.com/wiki/Zombie_Horse

It's a zombie horse that's in the game's code, but isn't useable in the game. I have to wonder if that horse was originally planned to be Jack's horse after John dies but they scrapped that idea or something.

Yeah that seems about right. It's only a 2 star horse but it doesn't slow down when it's off road and has great stamina. I need to track me down one of the American Standardbread's to check out the speed difference.

I hate that horse. That thing is slow. Try one of the race missions with it. I never caught the pack and when I did the best I can get to was 4th place. I had to cut corners to win.

I am lucky I have a War Horse certificate, because I would really hate my decision to go Desperado. I laugh every time I whistle and to have that ugly horse come around the corner. I shoot him in the face or burn him then activate the certificate. Sometimes I have to use it in a pinch though.

Lol yeah he is pretty slow but i kinda like "old skeleton face" so i keep him around. He's no good in a race but his stamina never slows and he is kinda like a 4x4 when i'm off-roading with him.

anyone else feel like **** hunting them down? I just killed the final one (I killed 19 but one got away) after finding him randomly walking around. Felt like crap for doing it. Won't do it when I play again.
