Gamestop emailed me a second preorder code for the Deadly Assassin outfit and the official soundtrack.
I will be willing to trade this to someone with an extra Warhorse key preferrably, but will also trade for the golden guns key as well. PM me!
Edit: For 360!
Edit 2: Code has been claimed. Thanks!

Has anyone got their Amazon credit for this game yet? I got a $5 MP3 credit right when I bought it, and I'm worried something went horribly awry.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I GOT EM.
Installing now, 360 version
. Should I already enter the codes for the special edition shit? I mean I don't really want to have a big advantage in SP with all these golden guns and war horse etc.

I mean I don't really want to have a big advantage in SP with all these golden guns and war horse etc.A boar came out of nowhere like a ninja and killed my horse. So I pull out my shotgun, and get one shot in before it charges me then runs off. All I can think of is skinning this thing for killing my horse and I chase it over a small hill and see nothing but a river a few feet in front of me. I pull up my shotgun to get a closer look at the boar that must be in the river so I can mock it and be on my way, only I don't see it anywhere. Then out of nowhere this ninja boar charges me from behind and I went flying into the river and died.
Had a real good laugh. Boar 2 - John 0.

I was going through looting bodies and found this guy missing an arm. Shitty cell phone quality ftw.
I shot him down after this picture and his arm grew back afterward :lol
Also, when you unlock the golden guns with the code where do you get them from in game?

The guy with the broken leg IS a cannibal (there's more than one), he's trying to trick you into capturing his dinner and bring it back to him after it hurt him and escaped in that mission. Funny glitch though, I guess the mission doesn't take into consideration third-party actions. When I caught the cannibal, cut the other guy loose, and took his hogtied ass to the train tracks and waited for the 3:10 to Blackwater to pass by. :lol

Has anybody found a way to board a moving train? I tried hopping on it from my horse, but only ended up rolling in the dirt and then getting run over. There's gotta be a way.... it's a classic Western move.

Lots of stores selling it around my area, but none in my town. I don't feel like taking a trip by train which will cost me money and time to get it, but it's FUCKING ANNOYING that some stores are already selling it, even other branches of a certain chain but the ones in my town wont fucking sell it to me. THIS IS SOME BULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLSHIT
Where bouts are you?
TBH I feel bad that I'm playing it when I only preordered it on Monday and haven't really been following it that much before last week.
Who else found the 'tutorial' section very slow and boring? I hate when open world games with incredible environments to explore, like this one, chain you to a ridiculously small section of the world for the first hour. I couldn't wait to say fuck you

It should be the Cattleman Revolver (your starting pistol) and the Repeater Rifle (that you get shortly into your first or second mission from Bonnie), those are the only weapons effected by the code. It's most telling on your revolver.

Rockstar games such as GTA IV abd now RDR are hands down the most enjoyable games I play that are dramatically in need of a fuckin' control scheme overhaul.
It could be that work has sucked this week and my mind is fried but holy fuck am I struggling with the controls.
I wish I had a dollar for every time I took cover when instead I wanted to switch weapons and vice versa.
Or panic/freak out during a PVP fight, put too much pressure on L3 and now I'm crouching and gunslinging...oy.
It's all just so cumbersome. I know I'll get it all down eventually but man...
It made me realize something though. I heard two guys at work this morning talking about Red Dead Revolver and they are most definitely not the enthusiast gamer type. They buy one or two games a year, and the research they do on games consists of seeing commercials about a game, and word of mouth. They don't care about controls. They just want Grand Theft Auto with cowboys.
Complexity of controls simply is not a barrier if the end user finds the game, the concept of the game and the story of the game compelling enough.
If the game is good, they'll forgive the controls, learn them and power-through.
Also...I'm loving the HELL out of the dialogue.
Yay!

How do you stop the train, before it blows up, after it is stolen???
Thanks, Awesome Game.
I was running around and found a
Cannilbal trying to eat a woman so I shot him and saved her. Then went to Armadillo and started the American Appetite missions. Was this guy a seperate cannibal or the main bad guy in those missions? I had to find the son and the wife. And now I'm going back to tell the husband but I'm afraid I already shot the bad guy and the mission won't end. Are there two cannibals or am I screwed?
where i can find this edition?

Yeah, I haven't gotten it either. Usually I get them faster (for example, I got the Split/Second one two days ago).Class_A_Ninja said:

Yeah I had no problem playing in private free roam games.
This makes me suspect that this is one of those types of online bugs that only occurs when you have a lot of people around in a game session. Having played many online games at launch and seeing bizarre issues, I wouldn't doubt that it didn't start happening until the game hit the live network environment, and something deep down is getting overloaded.
Makes me glad I'm not a programmer! :lol

I'm souring on this game rapidly. Buying it was probably a mistake. Only 2.5 hours in. Love the main character, love the graphics, the horses, the terrain, and everything. Hate the GTA shit.
Just a few quick questions:
1. I just bought a map of some "Rio" area. Was that a waste?
2. How do I get the lasso and where?
3. Been looking around for a while now and haven't seen poker yet? Am i missing something?
4. Also, if anyone has an extra Golden Guns code for the PS3 they wouldn't mind giving up, would you mind sending it to me in a PM? Thx!

Same as the other horse deed, you can use it as many times as you want. As soon as I break a new horse, I make sure to go grab its deed from the store.
I really like the war horse, though the black stallion you catch up north is much faster than it. It reminds me of the evil horse from Oblivion, except it doesn't try to kill wildlife and bandits for me.
I can verify that happens regardless of player counts. My friend and I started a private free roam last night to do some hunting challenges and were constantly going invisible, not to mention the bears we were hunting and our guns, hats, horses, etc. It was fucking annoying to the point we gave up. We started three different matches and joined a couple of public free roams to pretty much the same results every time.Nista said:
At one point right before we created our second private game, every model was invisible. Every town was a ghost town, no visible people or horses. Fences were gone, trees were popping in and out. It was BAD. :lol

I haven't gotten mine and my Golden Gun code did not work. It kept saying R* servers were down, and then it went through once and said the code was used. I'm probably going to trade this game in anyway so no big thing, I just want my Amazon $20.

Played about 6 hours. GOTY for me so far. I'm totally immersed in the world.
Some of the things I love:
- World seems so alive. Even traveling between places is fun because there is so much wildlife and there is always something to shoot, or just a random encounter that will get you sidetracked. Of course, it looks great too. The lighting is fantastic.
- The voice acting is really good. The characters are interesting and likable. I hope that continues. In GTA IV, I kinda liked Niko for a while, but after he got all that money, and still complained and murdered everybody, he just became annoying. Everybody in that game just seemed like an asshole.
- Gunplay is satisfying. I'm playing on normal, and while the auto-aim is strong, I like the pop-and-shoot mechanism. Just try and center your view on an enemy, pop up and BANG! It's nice because sometimes the enemies are quite a distance from you, and often difficult to see.
- Sound is really top-notch. From the ambient environmental noises, to the sounds of the weapons, to the amazing soundtrack: all are exceptional. And the music comes in at just the right times to set the mood. It's not overdone or intrusive at all.
- Game structure is such a huge improvement over GTA IV. I like the option to save anywhere, and fast-travel if I don't have much time. And mid-mission checkpoints are a god-send. The lack thereof is the reason I never finished GTA IV.
- So far, the missions have offered some variety. I've even gone back and done a couple of missions twice just because they were fun, and I wanted to experience them with different weather or time of day effects. The first time I did the wild horse capture mission was in the driving rain, with lightening causing a strobe-light. It was surreal and tense. I replayed that mission in the middle of a bright sunny day and it was a completely different experience.
Some issues I had:
- controls can still seem wonky at times. Getting in and out of cover can be clumsy. But I guess it's a bit of a trade off because you do feel vulnerable, even behind cover. And there's a chance you can fall off of anything and hurt yourself. He is not Atair.
- Graphics are great, but some texture pop-in (360 version). Really not too noticeable, but I can't wait to get my hands on the PC version. And the framerate on the cutscenes seems to stutter just a bit.
- Glitches everywhere. I had one where the button prompts disappear and I couldn't even mount my horse. But most of the time, they're just funny; ie improper animations, disappearing people and animals, etc.
- I Do wish there was a "change -view" option to over the shoulder pov. My character seems too far away sometimes, and I spend a lot of my time in "aiming-view". Of course, npc's don't like when you are targeting them, and it's easy to get in trouble that way.
But overall, this game is a classic. One of the very, very few to actually exceed my hype.
I enjoy the world so much, I might even get into the multiplayer. Please add me. I have no friends

The tutorial sucked anyway and was really vague, I'm over half way done with the game and I'm STILL not totally sure how it works, what I've gathered is you need to paint better spots then your opponent does (that you can't see) before time runs out.
When we would create a new server, all would be well...for a bit, then our characters and horses would start disappearing. We tried switching who created the game and everything, didn't seem to matter.Nista said:
I've got it installed to my HD, my friend does not and he was experiencing the same thing. We had like 8 guys on last night in our private server and we were all experiencing varying amounts of invisibility.
