Red Dead Redemption

that there seems to be a regular occurrence in these parts.

if someone steals your horse whistle for it and it'll throw him off

I saw a guy pissing in the outhouse outside the bar in Armadillo, complete with animated jet of piss. I bumped into him and he fell over.

His cock wasn't out when he got up though.

goddam this game

I was wondering for a while how to capture outlaws alive until I figured it out by doing Bonnie missions. I don't think I understand how to use cover yet or make the relationship with my horse go up. It's also hard to tell which horses are what kind but I'm loving the game for the atmosphere and stuff... hopefully it won't get old

lol sandbox games always have the best bugs.

the perfect woman amirite

Good lord I love this game. Riding around at dawn, hunting some deer, yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehaw

I can confirm that Marston CANNOT swim. I found a cool looking waterfall and thought I'd take a dip, but the instant his head went underwater he died.

Ugh, that sucks.

sucks for HIM!!!

"I never learnt to swim!"
"LOL the fall fact that this is a common problem in just about every video game ever (except Ecco the Dolphin) will kill us"

Tho I guess it's somewhat genre-appropriate (thinking of Butch Cassidy freaking out about leaping off the cliff because he can't swim)

Of course, I WOULD blow all my money on an expensive horse just a few minutes before obtaining the free mission completion horse.

to be fair, that was a common hazard in the old west

I want to kill everyvody I play horseshoes with

played blackjack for an hour and a half last night and lost about $10 :/

I fuckin hate horseshoes
i had no idea i wanted to play texas hold em so much.

liar's dice is fun

glad they corrected my main issue w/GTAIV: the mini games and peripheral activities (hunting, random prairie encounters) are mostly actually fun this time out

on a river bed, i found an old man doubled over holding his head. woman laid out in front of him, bloody and dead. When I stopped and walked up to him, he stood up and shakily held a gun to his own head. I ran up and pushed him and he dropped the gun and alternated between weeping and staring at me angrily until I rode away.

i also shot a dude in the balls and then the head who was trying to knife rape a prostitute outside a bar.

my online persona is a bit of a dick but I'm jimmy goodguy in the single player

I saw the same suicidal dude, but I spent 10 seconds looking at the scene, trying to figure out what the hell was going on, before he killed himself. Most of the little challenges I fail are because I'm sitting there twiddlin' my thumbs trying figure out who to shoot.

ok, when you buy a horse, where is it?

You have to choose it from you item and "use" it, which then switches it in as your default horse.

ahhhh thx

this game is fun. I haven't even tried multiplayer yet. having too much fun with the single-player.

I did see a guy get off his horse in the wilderness and start peeing into a river under a bridge.

I lassoed a guy off a hooker to try and go the taking him alive route, but it just made him fall headfirst into a wall and he died anyway.

The drunk guy that sometimes falls out of the bar seems to be immune to punches. I tried to lasso his body to drag him to the cells for the night and he disappeared, leaving only his hat.

I kind of hope they don't patch any of that shit.

has anyone come across the cannibals or the women being hanged yet o_O

yes!

cannibals was part of one of the "stranger" missions right?

and the women getting lynched thing... i think i failed a couple of those already :/

i've put in an alarming amount of time in on this in the past 48 hours

Cannibal was creepy, wasn't sure whether to just shoot him immediately because he was such a blatant cannibal

Yeah I'm not much of a "sit down and play a game for a long time in one stretch" person but I played for about 2 hours straight this afternoon

there are other cannibals out there too

came across some camp w/a guy preparing to feast on a hogtied feller, campsite was strewn with bones, limbs and a p.detailed severed head

Nb can I not interact with dogs? I feel like I should feed that dog that's always running round.

I ran one over in the dark and lost honour.

I tried to greet the dog.

lol!

Are these definitely glitches and not batshit easter eggs? I mean donkey woman was galloping and birdman is flapping.

Ok, got this today, about to go and get started, and I'm deciding in advance that I'm going to play against my usual nice guy type, and just be a bit of a shithead to pretty much everyone.

xp both look like "wrong graphics asset" type glitches

The shithead approach can get out of hand quick; you could kill a whole town if you wanted! I'm sure somebody is playing as a mass murderer as we speak.

Could the "flying man" thing be a cheat code?

you guys are making this game sound awesome, is there anybody here that doesn't like it?

if it doesn't arrive tomorrow i will barf my brains out

Anyone had any luck with the treasure maps? I'm not sure if they come in a certain order or if it's random, but the first one I got has a noose in the corner of it. I haven't recognized any of the landmarks from the treasure map while traveling around. And I think that you can't move on to the next treasure map until you solve the first.

the noose is a real big clue.

The "I." and "II." on the map also confuse me. I would suck as a real life treasure hunter.

lol. the I. refers to the first landmark and the II. is the second thing to look for, in that vicinty.
