So the early levels must be easy to ramp up huh? 30 minutes to level 7.

Okay, the postie has just delivered this game to me finally. I'm going in.

Ok for the first time on xbox maybe ever, all the dudes in my multiplayer session were not assholes!
Never had a free roam that wasn't at least 1/3 asshole, but had a good one last night where a bunch of guys took over the Mexican fort with the wall mounted cannons, and just holed up there for about an hour destroying everything that came near it.
Capture the bag is quite funny, with the narrator's constant "You've got the bag! You dropped the bag. You have control of the bag! You dropped the bag." Don't play these sort of games much in MP usually so not sure if hiding behind a rock near the enemy drop off point and shooting guys in the head when they get within six feet of it makes me an asshole or not.

EEK
i bought a PS3
― The Clegg Effect (Tracer Hand), Friday, 28 May 2010 11:08 (thirteen years ago) link
and i have logged approx 5,000,000,000,000 hours with this game
has anybody tried to get drunk yet? i was going to do that last night but i got involved in some shit
― The Clegg Effect (Tracer Hand), Friday, 28 May 2010 11:42 (thirteen years ago) link
oh shi-! nice
did you pick anything else up?
― cozen, Friday, 28 May 2010 12:10 (thirteen years ago) link
i downloaded Flower - amazing!!
and Wipeout HD is sitting there like an unopened Christmas present.
i'll most likely pick up Heavy Rain.
after which i may actually very well sell it back to the shop. my interest in games is very narrow and i'm not really aware of others that i'm interested in.
i'm surprised by how stiff and weird "realistic" videogame human beings still are in 2010. i think i'd prefer all games to just abandon any pretense at photorealism and stick with cartoony versions for now. i mean if even Pixar insists on cartoony humans i'm not sure how the PS3 is supposed to able to do any better in realtime..
― The Clegg Effect (Tracer Hand), Friday, 28 May 2010 12:22 (thirteen years ago) link
but back to Red Dead..
I think RDR and Uncharted 2 both had decently realistic humans but the eyes always look wrong, way too shiny and bright like they have lightbulbs inside their skulls

Have to drag myself away from this game for a bit. Spent most of the first couple of hours on the game huntin & shootin, which I guess is the norm. Surprised when a boar charged my horse! Bagged three of those, and four cougars. There're a lot of cougars out there. They're not that difficult to kill, but they always get my horse.Do I just sell all my meat/hides etc, or will I actually need any of it?
Just arrived in Armadillo...
― DavidM, Friday, 28 May 2010 13:27 (thirteen years ago) link
I sold all my meat and hides but have superstitiously held on to my herbs. Mmm herbs.

did you bump her?
― cozen, Friday, 28 May 2010 22:03 (thirteen years ago) link

a minutes googling reveals it would have been funny :(

her head falls off o_O

I didn't even know you could walk around in there! I thought it was a cut scene.

i did the mission w/ the dead fiancee/crazy lady combo. I can't lasso people tho. It's hard.

just read one of the newspapers, has anyone seen anything 'spooky' at Tumbleweed? i did.

I am officially a knight of the west and have maxed out my honor bar. Heading back to deal with Irish as that's the last of my outstanding letters on the map. High points lately: dealing with the horse fucker, cleaning out all the gang hideouts, having a man steal my horse/whistling for horse/dude getting bucked off/me roping and hogtieing him and leaving him in the road
― forksclovetofu, Saturday, 29 May 2010 05:28 (thirteen years ago) link
Have you done any Irish missions before?
― Mordy, Saturday, 29 May 2010 05:32 (thirteen years ago) link
Yep; just finished the snake oil salesman and the grave robber and I think I just have to do two with Irish and I'll be ready for an assault on the mission.
― forksclovetofu, Saturday, 29 May 2010 06:41 (thirteen years ago) link
Just played four hours of multiplayer with some pals. I need to sleep.

spending waaaaaay too much time on this generally wandering and hunting rather than doing owt - played 3 or 4 hours last night - did 3 missions.
― problem chimp (Porkpie), Saturday, 29 May 2010 09:49 (thirteen years ago) link
Don't think I've hit 20 hours so quickly on a game for ages.
― MPx4A, Saturday, 29 May 2010 15:19 (thirteen years ago) link
hunting does have the oregon trail appeal, dunnit.
I know I can deadeye w/ the lasso but how do I hogtie. I think my timing is screwy. I am also trying to do it from horseback;
1) lasso a person
2) Hold L2; press triangle?
― Astronaut Mike Dexter (Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved), Saturday, 29 May 2010 16:23 (thirteen years ago) link
do I automatically dismount from horse if trying to lasso from horse?
― Astronaut Mike Dexter (Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved), Saturday, 29 May 2010 16:24 (thirteen years ago) link
no. You can lasso from horse or on foot. You have to run up and touch the lasso'd person while they're still on the ground and hit the hogtie button (Y on xbox, not sure on PS3)I just went south of the border and the amazing and very clearly directorially planned moment with the jose gonzalez music was awesome. Then i got eaten by wolves. this is a lot less like GTA and a lot more like fallout 3 i do believe.
― forksclovetofu, Saturday, 29 May 2010 16:29 (thirteen years ago) link
so you throw lasso, hold the button you throw with, then direct the horse/walk to the person and "tap" triangle or "press n hold" triangle?
― Astronaut Mike Dexter (Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved), Saturday, 29 May 2010 16:34 (thirteen years ago) link
L2 is the button you don't want to let go of, not the throw button (R2).

I don't think I get the point w/ this movie showing right now -- it looks like he took the cutscenes and rearranged them to flow more like a film narrative? What's the point? They needed a real director to do this?
