I really beat it about 30 minutes.
By the way, I saw the in engine Red Dead Redemption 30 minute movie and let me tell ya, it was a recap of the
and it was basically a marketing ploy. It was a waste of 30 minutes if you have the game. Some of the action bits look like they were cut with live action e.g. people diving, etc. Elrechazao (nice name), the stamina transfers over to the all the horses I believe.
The real ending was badass. It was nice to finally put a hole in that government douchebag's head. I loved the Red Dead Redemption pause with Jack before cuting off to the credits. That was badass. All the missions that John did with Jack were basically his "tutorial" missions. It's funny that he said that he didn't want Jack to follow in his footsteps when he himself killed a man or rather, men I should say. I think that's the whole Redemption part. John had to go after his comrades in order to redeem himself to his son. His son then redeems his father by offing Edgar or something like that. I can't wait to see where R* goes with the single player DLC because Jack obviously has as much of story as John does or maybe it may not be necessary, but still, I'm intrigued by him nonetheless. It sucks that the cities don't look like they've aged. Jack didn't become a "rich industrialist who wrote Old West novels". He became the Old West novels himself. So that's interesting.

Why did I get a message at one point that my horse trusts me, or is now more loyal or something a few hours ago then? top left corner, and it said that it would have more stamina now. I don't think I imagined it...dreamer3kx said:

When you get a brand new horse it has less stamina than one you keep for, oh, about 5 minutes.
So there is a very light "leveling up" but from what I could tell it was very quick and it caps fast.

How come the picture of the boar in New Austin doesn't match up with where its placed on the map. I go to that location and I can't find a single boar around. But I know for a fact that there are boars around the McFarlane Ranch because I saw a random event where one guy was hunting one, he killed it, and I skinned it.
Can anyone offer any hints for this one?

I don't think I will ever really understand how herding works. In fact, I don't think I'll ever really understand how riding the horse works.

So, I've just started scratching the surface of Mexico. 1 day, 2 hours, 46 minutes, and 41 seconds in - and I'm going to have to say that this game just might end up being my game of the generation. I love it.
Trying to finish one of the side challenges to get a new outfit, i need to win a liars dice game in Casa Madrugada in Mexico. The problem is doesn't matter at what time I go to Casa Madrugada, the place is deserted, there is no one playing even though the icon in the map is lit. Is this a glitch in the game?

What?
There was no "redemption" for anyone. John killed his former friends by being blackmailed. He didn't even want to do it. He did it because he was forced to. Not because of a need for redemption. He had already given it all up. Throughout this, he kills and kills and keeps on killing for mad dogs and fucked up characters (this is after the Bonnie/Marshall missions).
Then, you finally kill Dutch, return home and begin Jack's tutorial. He then dies for...what? For nothing. He couldn't escape his past and actually gave up (when he could have easily escaped with his family through the back). He doomed his family and caused his son to do something he never wanted him to do: Stepped right into his shoes and his world of death and killing. Did Jack "redeem" his father by killing the Federal Agent? No. He got revenge, but the cycle just begins again.
The real message of the story isn't one of redemption. It is that you can't escape your sins, no matter how hard you try. John Marston is a different version of Niko. No more, no less. I failed to see any "redemption" for him at all in the game.

He shoots him, but nothing happens. He knows things about John's past that John doesn't even remember.
The last meeting is up on the hill where John is buried and the guy says "this looks like a good spot".
Agree 100%. I don't think anything will top this for me. I've never been this absorbed into a story in a game before. Epic experience.
It's official. Red Dead Redemption has the best lighting and whether cycles of any game, ever. I was completing some bounty missions, looking for that 100%, and there were so many moments of drop dead gorgeous settings. Mexico at dawn, the sun setting over the great plains in Blackwater... it's some of the most beautiful stuff I've ever seen in a game. And how about those thunder storms? They got the look of the scene from No Country for Old Men down perfectly, then I walked into a building and ofcourse all the lighting through the windows is in real time. Lightning strikes and there's a flash of light through the windows, followed by that rolling thunder. Walk outside, everything is wet, there are puddles, water is dripping off your hat and the wind is blowing through the brush and your shirt collar, epic.

It is very good, but I liked the day night cycle in Midnight Club LA better. It seemed to have a better transition phase. In RDR it just feels abrupt at times. There should also be more changes in weather, I've played about 15 hours and its rained about 3 times, and I'm pretty sure it was because the mission required it to be raining.

Ending spoilers:
It's not about the fact he could have escaped or killed the men, I feel that John died because he hoped to (And it seems like it did) get the government to leave his family alone. He knew that even if he escaped, it wouldn't have mattered, they would find him again, and threaten his family once more. He already lost Uncle, who was it going to be next? Bonnie? Jack?
He knew that the only way to keep his family safe at this point, was for the government to get what they want. He saved them by dying.
Just like the government agents said to John when he asked why they didn't just send the army to kill Dutch, Williamson and Esquella. What did they tell him? Giving them a death like that would only romanticize them, making them martyrs for the already dense anti-government notions in the area. No one cares when one outlaw kills another, that's just the old west. But when they killed John to finish the whole ordeal, they did just what they had hoped they wouldn't do.

They respawn when you've done half. After that halfway mark, they respawn consistently.sumo390 said:
You want to go ahead and clear them out through the course of the game, anyway. When you first do hideouts, generally you'll meet a guy who will want you to do more stuff (check out a mansion, go in to some mines) and that eats up more time. When you redo it, you can cut that guy's part out.

Just got this game a couple of days ago. It really is fantastic. Never could enjoy GTA but I'm loving this game.
Anyway, if anyone would add me for some MP action, I would really like that. Just let me know you're from GAF in your invite message.
