End game

Spoiler

Yeah, the final stranger mission with Ross is very anticlimatic. And not very satisfying as far as vengeance goes.

The biggest thing that bothered me about John walking out of the barn was there was a freakin' ladder right beside him that he could have climbed up into the hayloft and picked them off. I just wish the game was more consistent with itself than the ending turned out to be, that's all.

Or toss out a stick of TNT
Or go out the back
Or pull out the Evans repeater
Or ANY other strategy than about the dumbest one imaginable.

Ah man's never ending search for beaver(s) continue's.

I found them near the rivers up north like it said. Did you try bait's?

One thing i did notice and maybe it was just my imagination but for things like where i had to hunt cougars with a knife i found if i went to near where it had a picture on the map and walked around with the knife out they would show up way more than if i didn't walk around with the knife out. Might have just been a coincidence though.

off topic:
That was "Way of the Samurai". I thought it was a very good, incognito PS2 game. They made a new one recently for PS3 but it didn't do as well. I was thinking about trying it though.

Yea THAT is the game I'm talking about, looked it up online and that's it. I'll have to try 3 now.

I know its not a big deal but "Skin it to Win it" Rockstar challenge hasn't been released. I saw that the reward for the 360 is the Gentleman's Attire for the avatar, kind of want it but whatever.

Homing missiles and fireballs.

It might be old to some of you but by accident I found out you can Dead Eye Paint your targets when you are throwing dynamite and fire bottle. When you enter Dead Eye you have to imagine a target dot as if you were holding a gun and then paint them as usual. I usually just spam R1. Once the target is marked and you throw the dynamite or fire bottle it will actually fly directly to the target. It will even follow a horse. Both ammo types detonate on impact.

Good times.

Obligatory



Like Jonesy said, they really are near the rivers and surrounding areas up north. I think if you move around slowly enough you'll spot some. Try getting off the horse and walking/running around a bit. You'll find some. Just watch out for bears. I've been mauled by a bear more than once when I was off my horse walking around in Tall Trees. That scares the crap out of me when you don't hear the bear breathing until the last moment before it strikes.

Thanks, I just had it stuffed.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

I agree.

I'd also like to see something in terms of space travel. It'd be cool to be able to explore space and venture through various planets and stuff. I've always wanted an open world space game. I know Mass Effect kind of falls into this category, but not really how I'd like it to.

Anyone remember this pc game?

Pretty close to an open world space game especially for its time.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

Just finished this game, it did seem kind of abrupt and out of character. John Marston would have found cover somewhere in the barn and picked off the 20 or so soldiers that were waiting outside, not walk out there and commit suicide by officer.

I did kind of have fun herding cattle and breaking horses and taking Jack out to learn how to hunt. I just wish they did more to develop Jack's character as a boy. I don't see how he simply makes the jump from bookworm to bada** in a matter of years, completely against his mother and father's will. Or how he grows a moustache and a soul patch.

And it pains me to hear him talk as a man.

Anyway, how many of you guys play online? And what is it like?

I have no idea if this is a spoiler, but better to play it safe

"Man" should be in quotes. That's not how a man talks. It's how a 12 year old talks.

Loved starflight. I was always hoping they would make a follow up. Actually Mass Effect has many elements that were done in starflight, such as planetary exploration and gathering minerals. I would love a Starflight redo.

sorry to get off topic.

I am thinking that I need to get Red Dead. 4k posts in this topic? Wow!

It is a great game. Right now, I'm going to call it my best game of 2010.
