Yeah two, had to type dual messages since we had people in the game in both rooms.

I like the whistling of morricone in the desert, why not? Red Dead Redemption * Official Thread is kinda boring.

You can also jump off a balcony directly onto your horse. I think that is the bigger deal.

You can also run forward, call your horse, and jump on your horse while it's still running and lose almost zero momentum, as you just fly forward after a smooth transition.

I love doing that when I'm about to give chase. So many cinematic moments in this game.

Who paid you to grab Dr. Pavel?
Won my first FFA game of around 12 people or so. The opening circular shootout was so awesome, I survived it too. Auto-aim makes it really simple but it was still quite fun.

Bounty hunter missions are the hardest in the game. Kill a guys crew only to lasso him and have him roll down the side of the rock face. Awesome! so you finally catch up to him again but your horse is being a real fucker and doesn't want near the rocks! You carry this asshole down the hill only to have his bows show up! 15 minutes later you finally have the prick on your fucking horse only to have more goons arrive. Finally spend another 10 trying to get him back to jail :lol

I wish there was an easier way to get into expert aim only games online, just to have that option. I know there's two categories at the bottom of the multiplayer mode list that say normal/expert only but every time i've tried that it's been normal aiming, which is pretty easy to get auto-hits on (just repeatedly pump LT while firing to continuously re-snap to the target when you lose auto-tracking after a couple of seconds).

Overall this game is incredible. Best wild west game ever made, for sure.

I think that when it lists normal/expert it just means you can use either aiming mode(but can't use casual) . And I'm assuming the hardcore mode you unlock(I think at level 15) will be your expert only mode. I'd rather play expert only as well.

The first hour or so is a bit slow and limited as they introduce you to the world. Some may take issue with it. I enjoyed the slow pace to start off. They unleash you soon enough.

nononononono that came out wrong. all I wanted to say is the more I play it, the more I loved it, which rarely if ever happens.
the first hour was charming, endearing, filled with a shitton of straight up LOL moments and, fuck, I broke in a horse with the hugest grin on my face I can ever remember having.

this game is up there with Mass Effect 2 for me.

I loved everything about it.

I literally do not have a single gripe with this game as it stands. how you can make a game this good, is beyond me. I don't even like open world games.

I wasn't really serious. ;) But good to know that the game does everything right right from the start!


For the record, I never understood people's complaints about TP's slow beginning. It's all about whether it works and fits.

you'll be too busy sucking up the ridiculously amazingly fantastic atmosphere to even think about pacing.

I really enjoyed the basic "cowboy" tasks they had you do at the start. Herding, lassoing, taming horses, etc. It set a nice Western tone, and it worked as both an effective tutorial for the gameplay mechanics and a smooth introduction to the world.

Monster Hunter Tri and Red Dead Redemption certainly makes a nice back to back for me. Really good time for games lately.

I'm sure this has been shared, but yesterday I came across a man on his knees crying out in the wilderness beside his dead wife's body. After standing nearby and watching the man cry for about 15 seconds, he pulls the revolver out of his holster, puts it to his head, and pulls the trigger. God damn, boy.

EDIT: And my duster is so awesome!

Not being able to make my horse stay put and wait for me in one place while I go explore or sneak into somewhere on foot is really annoying!

Its SUPER annoying when you're doing a bounty hunt and when you finally pick up your bounty to put him on your horse, you are thrown wave after wave of horseback gangbangers out to get their comprade back. Your horse just wanders off, and it takes its sweet ass time coming back to you after whistling, all the while getting attacked by the fast-riding gang members and slowly moving with a body over your shoulder.

And the horse isn't invincible, so its not out of the ordinary to lose your horse and then just have to give up and run away.

Its punishing using no auto-aim, but I refuse to do it any other way. :D

I would like to get in on some MP action with the PS3 posse tonight. The other day was screwy. I didn't even get one shot off I don't think. Managed to get to level 4 though :) Hopefully tonight (that is if I can pry myself away from the amazing SP) we can get some great free-roam going.

From the people at the saloon right? Me too. I have a positive honor and haven't even been there much. I don't get it.
Click to expand...

I'm also near max positive side of Honor and every single time I step foot in there, three people are firing on me.

Had one scare the shit out of me. I was exiting the saloon, turning right and all of sudden, BLAM! Shotgun through the fucking window.

I think when I do a second playthrough of this (likely with cheats :D) I think I'm actually going to play it with the music turned off. Just to see how much of a No Country for Old Men vibe I can get.

I fucking love the soundtrack, and it'll pain me turn it off, but I'm just curious to see if the game feels any different.

That said I'm about six or so hours in jesus christ I love this game. Already in my top five of the generation.
