For the gamer who wants a more immersive, challenging experience... follow these rules when playing single player (I also find the game more fun this way):

1) Don't whistle for your horse unless it's nearby.

2) Don't whistle for a new horse after yours dies. And then only do it again after you have hitched a new one.

3) When not doing a mission, use horse sprint sparingly (since some mission require you to use your horse's sprint completely).

4) REMOVED

Fixed.

Quick question. Sorry if this has been asked before.

Is there any reason to keep animal skins or gold bars rather than sell them?

Not that I'm aware of. I certainly hope not for the gold bars, but am pretty certain the animal skins are just for selling.

 

[Hi-tekk]

daddynorcal,

quick question. On my PS3 if I delete my current RDR game save so I can start all over again from the beginning, will I lose my Deadly Assassin Outfit? Can I reenter the code a second time and have it unlocked again? Also does the same apply to my social club Gentleman's Outfit as well? Thanks in advance.

You might need some of the animal skin later for some side missions or other challenges when you finish your current set.

Weird thing happened to me...
I was carrying a bounty on my horse, when all of the sudden my horse died out of nowhere.. lol..
The bounty fell off, and then my framerate went to like 5 fps.. slooooowwwww moootttiiioon.
I had to kill some bandits, and when i picked the bounty up the framerate went back to normal.. haha.

I kind of like the non game-breaking glitches though, they keep things interesting.. LOL

 

[Spurs_Fan]

so i got 60 bucks to spend on any game, just wondering based on the positive vibe from this game if this should be one i should buy

 

[Zeliard]

If you lasso or shoot someone in the desert, how likely are you to get a bounty? I just barely started messing around with *evil* Marsden behavior, and each time i did something I almost instantly had a bounty. What gives?

It mostly depends on who sees you. You can kill someone out in the desert, and if nobody sees you, there shouldn't any bounty consequences. I've done it many times, since I'm playing as Bad Marston. Sometimes you'll kill someone and then see someone else running off to go tell the authorities. If you don't stop them then you'll get a bounty on your head.

It can be inconsistent sometimes, though. One time I saw a woman about to get stabbed in town, and I shot the attacker in the head, and she thanked me and all was good (though some townspeople were panicking). That scenario then repeated itself later on, and when I shot the attacker that time, I got the authorities after me.

The funny thing is that I actually have a positive honor meter right now, even with all the despicable shit I've done, due to the story missions and some of the stranger quests giving you positive honor.

3) When not doing a mission, use horse sprint sparingly (since some mission require you to use your horse's sprint completely).

4) Only fast travel with camping when you have a horse.

I wish this game had a hardcore mode that forced these sorts of rules.

I follow most of those just naturally. The horse I have now, I've had since close to the start of the game, and he's always hanging around me either way.

I also haven't fast traveled yet at all, as well as ignored the maps in the stores so I can explore everything myself. I'd like to say that I won't fast travel for the rest of the game, but realistically, once the entire world opens up I probably will to get across the real large distances.

Yes of course. This is definitely a GOTY contender.

I've done that sequence a few times now, every time there was gang activity at the same time (why the people were panicking I think), probably just too much going on at once.

BTW there better be a mini sex game with Bonnie later on the game.

There has to be.

I thought RStar girls were ugly? :lol

Hey guys can anyone tell me how to get any other outfits? I really want the poncho and duster outfits!!!! Been playing like 5 hours right now gonna make some food but goddamn this game is fucking off the chain man. If Mafia II can beat this then this year is going to be fucking amazing. Oh what am I saying, it already is ( Darksiders, Bayonetta, Battlefield, Split/Second, Blur and so many others ).

I really want to get a full 16 player party free roam later on the PS3 version, hopefully it doesn't crap out like last night.

I unlocked the Duster I think based on my Honor.

[Helmholtz]

So has there been any mention of a PC version? I'm considering buying it for the 360, but if it's coming to PC I'd rather play it on that.

No mention yet, just buy it now and enjoy it other than waiting a year for a port.

There hasn't, and the studio hasn't made a pc game in years.

What do you do with bandits, and would-be thieves after you've caught, and hogtied them? I figured you could bring them to the sheriff, but that option isn't available.

 

[abundant]

You unlock the duster when you reach the honor level of "peacemaker".

Keeping racking up honor and you will eventually get one of the dusters.

Toss them into water, in front of train tracks, in the middle of nowhere...

You can only bring wanted bandits back to the sheriff, since they are being accused of something. Random bandits out in the wild may not necessarily be in trouble with the law. Don't think you can do anything with those guys except just kill them, or mess with them in other ways.

 

[JoeBoy101]

As the man said. Once you hit 50 or 100 honor (forget which) it unlocks. The

There MIGHT be one for being dishonorable. I'd assume there is.

You mean Bill Paxson? If so i guess that is where the 100 million went to. Nico feels cheated...

I don't understand why your multiplayer free roam character you choose isn't the character when you play public gang matches, why is it all preset characters? Does it really matter R*?

 

[Lyonaz]

Bought the game (PS3 version) today at Mediamarkt for 50 euros.

Can't really play the game until Monday when I get back from my weekend in Paris.

I did play a bit and auto-aim shooting animals and stuff was great, can't wait till I actually go hunt people!

Speaking of, one of the requirements is to "search Thieve's Landing"

Which means...what, exactly?

why do they have radar in free roam? that ruins it.

I think if you start a match from within the free-roam (by going to those signpost things), then you use your character. If you hit back/select and go to public gang match from that menu then it puts two factions against each other and you just get a random character.

 

[daddynorcal]

daddynorcal,

quick question. On my PS3 if I delete my current RDR game save so I can start all over again from the beginning, will I lose my Deadly Assassin Outfit? Can I reenter the code a second time and have it unlocked again? Also does the same apply to my social club Gentleman's Outfit as well? Thanks in advance.

If you delete your save or create a new save with the same profile you will be awarded any bonus content you unlock at the earliest possible time. You do not need to enter the code again.

The Gentleman's Attire Outfit will unlock again as soon after you sign into Social Club and complete the first two story missions.

Minus number 4, this is how I've been playing

I like this game a lot and I may get trolled for this.. I don't feel like there is a ton of variety in the main missions so far about 5 hours in. I'll keep playing, I'm having fun but yeah. Also, herding sucks; the AI on the cows/horses is retarded.

Yeah I know that, it would make the MP unlocks much more useful if you can use them in public matches. Your title and horse stays the same but your character changes, I don't understand why they did this.

 

[levious]

herding works quite well if you just give them plenty of room

You have barely scratched the surface of the game, the campain missions and even the side missions get more fun later on.
