lassoing and riding horses felt really natural to me; I've managed all that the first time I tried it.Tap the run button once you lasso the horse to pull it toward you and run to it then leap on the back. And don't forget dead eye! I completely forgot about it for hours and once I reembraced it the whole game was in VATS.

erm so i just realised that balancing, its left and right AS YOU SEE IT and not actual left and right from the character.

Finally got my 360 back and loving the game so far. Unfortunately, there's this dude in Armadillo who keeps challenging me to a duel and then crashing my 360. This doesn't happen anywhere else in the game, which leads me to believe he's actually an incredibly effective dueler.

funny easter egg (?): the gold you find for the treasure hunter tasks has fakey-civil war sounding names (generals it says), but most of the names are scrambled with names of famous abolitionists

I had the same problem mentioned to just upthread, looking for boars, using bait, standing right on the little boar icon on the map, but only wolves show up. Still haven't seen a boar, but I'll keep trying!

i had good luck with boars just a little bit down the hill from the map icon.

Okay, this is something VERY simple that I'm sure all of you already noticed, but I just now found out about it so I'll share it in case there's another ignorant cowboy like me:
To speed up the skinning process simply walk your horse over the corpse to be skinned. This will block the animation and instantly give you the results of the animal harvesting. When faced with multiple targets, and the player wishes to make a quick getaway, this can literally be a life saver.

I've been getting up and down off the horse everytime, listening to John Marston say "ooooh...this is DIRTY"

This Saturday night, May 29th at 12 AM Eastern and 9 PM Pacific, FOX will be exclusively airing an original short film made from Red Dead Redemption.
The 30 minute short film, created and directed by John Hillcoat (the director of The Proposition and The Road), chronicles a slice-in-time of protagonist John Marston as he tracks down his former fellow outlaw and friend, Bill Williamson. Along the way, Marston encounters many of Red Dead Redemption's eclectic cast of dreamers, misfits and liars.
Using the world of Red Dead Redemption as a virtual film studio and created entirely with in-game assets and technology, Hillcoat re-imagines Marston’s pursuit of justice and salvation.

had a bug yesterday: playing poker in armadillo, the other players turned all blocky and pixely for a few rounds. their hands looked like digitized lobster claws. eventually they changed back.

I tried a version of that where I hogtied a guy hunting deer and poured some bait on his head. The animals didn't eat him :(

when you get to the right spot you'll get a prompt ("investigate?" maybe). if you haven't gotten that, you aren't in the right spot yet.

ah, there's the issue. I thought I needed to buy a shovel or something.
My main issue with this game is: riding along minding my own business, "help save my baby" from the side of the road, i pull off my horse and before I know what's up someone is shooting at me, I return fire, kill some old lady and now the game is shaking its head at me with a what were you thinking attitude. then, cougar attack.
Not even sure if that's an issue, but it's constant. Just finished my first few lines of plot and a few missions (american appetites just got stupid by the end); on my way to figure out how to do the trojan horse thing.

my insatiable desire to lasso peeps and drag them down the railroad tracks at high horse speed is making me question my moral underpinnings.

It has a few cool aspects but ultimately people who play GTA deathmatch are the lowest scum in the multiplayer universe.
