Red Dead Redemption

Oh man I love the side missions, I'm always on the lookout for the next one.

I kinda feared the poker game against the German though, as I have no idea how to play poker. I just kept pressing the green button and I beat him in no time! Good cards I guess. Agree about the Liar's Dice/movie guy.

getting this tonight btw

i will admit that i don't understand liar's dice at all

haha me neither

fml. my saved game got deleted.

best/worst way learning liars dice is as a drinking game

shiiiit mordy that sucks

Finally got this on Friday & wow! So far so awesome, except when my brother in law managed to knock my horse off that broken bridge into a watery grave. Haven't tried the multiplayer yet, as I'm shit at free aim - I keep losing sight of that minuscule targeting dot

Also somehow managed to teleport from a campsite directly onto a train while on my horse. Good times...

Ok, lowrider stagecoach is gone, but 3 crashes during raid on fort whatever is getting pretty goddamn infuriating. This game is fun, but it is buggy as shit and I'm starting to lose my patience.

Ugh, I don't think I have the will to play through this again, but I do want to finish it out. So disappointing.

mordy did the game bug out and delete your save?

Even worse. I let a friend play with it and he saved over my save.

eeek

"Breaking up" with a friend

lol, it's not that bad. It's just a game. I'd probably be more upset if I were ten years younger, but these days life seems too short. Just a little bummed about it.

(lol @ how melodramatic i sound -- 'life seems too short,' just, i treasure the friend more than the game.)

when I don't really have time/energy to embark on new missions, I often get into Waco-style killing sprees on rooftops. Last night, I eventually got a "honor road agent" status - anyone know what that is? My bounty was approx. 2000$

Waco-style killing sprees on rooftops

did this the other night too, but on a mountain top where people couldn't get up to reach me.

annoying that sniper rifle is taking 3 or 4 shots to kill people. i guess back in dem days...

is the reason I'm not getting more quickdraw minigames that the first challenge i got i shot the guy in the nuts six times?

i want more duels too, still not entirely sure how to do them.

i hate those random roadside robberies. stumbled into one last night, and my auto-targetting deadeye painted the victim as well as the robbers. then it turned out they weren't robbers but lawmen. five minutes later ran into another one, wiped out everyone including the victim again.

also where the fuck are the rabbits, i'm falling way behind on the sharpshooter challenge.

everywhere ledge, they're very small. noted by their fluffy little white tail when they run away

but try very close to the ranch at the start of the game

where the fuck are the beavers?

i keep shooting racoons by mistake

Once you find one rabbit, there's usually a lot more in the same place. I got 5 rabbits in less than a minute the other day. I was trying to get 5 coyotes yesterday so I put some bait down and hid behind a rock, and a fucking cougar came out of nowhere and mauled me to death in about a second.

I fucking love this game.

and my auto-targetting deadeye painted the victim as well as the robbers.

you'll welcome the third level of the targeting system then, it prevents shit like this happening. but it also means you're dead eye won't last as long (as you'll take more time at first getting the right target, until you get used to it)

Yeah I got it last night. Started using the meter-refilling tonics as well, they were indispensible on the train protection mission.

I find the side missions in this game SO PLEASURABLE that I'm 10 hours in and have barely completed the training stuff at the ranch and in Armadillo.

spent all of last night going through every cupboard in Thieve's Landing to find that suit :-(

time to cheat man.

now i'm not sure if i've already hunted and killed both the bollard twins or not.

Put it on casual aim -- it makes everything better, esp multiplayer

and I don't think it hurts your 'score'

Im trying to get the achievement to kill all the animals and I have no fuggin clue which ones are left.

Im also at 98.6% and wondering whether getting 100% is worth it..

of course it is!!!

biggest pains in the ass getting to 100%: "discovering" all the locations, which i think is buggy: buy and use all the maps you can find, even if you've been everywhere. and, doing all the bounty hunting: the stat is counted by location, annoyingly.

anyway you may as well check the web for the unlock list; if you join the social club it keeps track of one for you so it's not really cheating, winky face.

i think not caring about achievements & completeness is going to be key to my enjoyment of this game

I don't bother trying to get achievements in games unless there's one really cool one

I haven't cheated on any of the Treasure Map quests and I'm proud of it. But I've looked up where to find certain animals

I need to stop reading this thread, I'm so far behind everyone else despite getting it a few days after it came out. I was out of town for a week plus but I'm also just slow.

I have still barely played the multiplayer.

(try upstairs)

I still never use Dead Eye. I just shoot like fuck. Seems to work.

i got it last night but won't have time to play for about a week. i keep hoping that by the time i get to it, they'll have patched all the glitchy shit that's happened to you guys.

fwiw i'm on 360 and have had no glitches or control difficulty so ymmv

I dunno remember where the Thieve's Landing outfit piece was but you mayu have to have met Irish by doing more quests

lol "lovely annabel"

The thieves landing outfit SPOILER

is in the office of the warehouse.

I can't believe you dudes are almost at 100% so soon. How many hours have you logged?

I'm at the point where I think I've completed every stranger quest and miscellaneous stuff possible without having been to West Elizabeth and it's probably just a matter of doing one or two more quests before I get there. The game says I've completed about 60% and I'm sure I've logged at least 48 hours into it. Since I don't have a Live Account I'll probably end up beating the game within the next week and end up shelving it :[

Okay, just turned the game on and checked my stats. Says I'm 62% complete and total time played is 1 day 9 hours. That stat is probably wrong if it doesn't account for the time I spent without saving the game. Maybe another 4 hours I dunno

Sweet, thanks! Tried multiplayer last night, ended up in a shootout with only 2 others who teamed up to just get me so one of the others could level up. Bastards! Not fun, will try the co-op sometime soon
