Continue the story, Dead Eye 3 lets you mark what you want - Dead Eye 2 can be annoying with the auto mark.georgc said:
Dead Man said:
I hated the cover so I usually just ran into the middle of a hideout, dead eyed, shot til dead eye came back, then dead eyed anyone who was left. So maybe my cavalier style is the reason I found the ending so incongruous. I haven't heard anyone talk about the ending yet, am I the only one with this minor complaint (and really, it is a tiny, tiny complaint)

The part that I didn't like about Marston's death is that it's not like you couldn't have taken all of those guys out. I had been using the Mauser Pistol since I got it, since it has a 15 round clip, and there couldn't have been too many more than that, but instead it forced me into using the Cattleman, with only six shots. I just feel like the situation forced the player out of all the weapon choices he had made so far, and just wasn't very well thought out, since you're constantly getting ambushed in the game and surviving just fine. I think they should have gone in a different direction, one that also lead to his death, but perhaps not like that.
Spoilered just in case!eznark said:
Yeah, I get how it can seem incongruous, for sure, I guess with my chicken play style I didn't notice so much. And as you say, it is a problem for almost all videogames. I think it happens a lot, when a custscene shows something you may have been able to avoid or defeat if it was during the action.
I still think it was a great way to end, even if I do hate Jacks voice!

Ah, that explains it :lol Do you need to be quick about it? I mean, if I shoot him 5 times in the leg he'll still die, is there a reason to move up towards the head? I've only ever dueled 4 times, and I missed the instructions, so it all feels sort of random to me right now.
Pandoracell said:
go for a disarm, I think just getting the one shot placed while white is more important than quickness, assuming you mark it prior to his gun drawing animation finishing.
Don't know if focusing just on the legs will do it though.
Yeah. Not just that, they don't actually explain it at all. All the instructions are a bit like that, with the small boxes as you are trying to actually do something on screen. They should have just put all of the instructions for the mini games in the damn manual.Pandoracell said:

agreed that the voice work is great but what is unappreciated to me is the subtle eye and facial expressions are friggin PERFECT for today's tech
until we see LA NOIR.
55% of communication is visual and this game nails it.
Klocker said:
I guess you have not played Uncharted 1/2 or Heavenly Sword, because both titles do an excellent job with facial expressions and great voice acting. I would say Red dead ranks right up there with these titles and considering it's multiplatform thats an impressive feat.
Red Dead is the best title released in 2010 thus far...

Yeah, true. In my opinion better than Heavy Rain. Marston eyes, his mimic, and of course the strabic eyes of Dela. Everything is perfect. Wow!

Deadwood is fucking fantastic all throughout, just could have used another season or the two movies that were supposed to have been made to put a nice bow on the entire story.dreamer3kx said:

Season 3 is still great, not as good as 1 but great compared to anything else on TV ever, great.
and the series was pulled before it had a chance to reach it's apex, hence your
all of our
there was supposed to be a concluding movie but we got screwed. As brilliant as HBO is, they astound me with their programming decisions at times.
The Lamonster said:
Well, looking at the posts since your question, most of the really good westerns have been covered.
But, I will offer something to your question. A couple of comic series, actually. Jonah Hex is quite possibly the best western comic ever. Read it. Also, there was a mini series called Loveless from DC's Vertigo line. You may like that as well.

Thanks, those are all on my list. ...except BttF3 :lol (seen it a million times)Garryk said:
My list has basically become a list of the greatest Western movies ever:

Same. I just wanted to keep riding forever and ignore the tutorial missions in the beginning. I'm really digging it. I want to jump into MP, but I can't stop playing SP.
Has anything been made out of the font? A little small and squished on my HDTV, a little annoying.
It's also annoying how the game decides to put things in the corner to read while characters are telling you something, or while you're doing something.
Either way, shaping up to be awesome. I like how horse riding isn't like a car, your horse takes skill. That bitch kept throwing me off and I had no idea why..of course, because the game explained that in text while something else was going on. Gotta love that journal.

You just reminded me - Dead Man would be on the list if I didn't already own it :lolDead Man said:

Game ending spoilers:
I hate Jack! I hate having to finish up this game playing as him. His voice is annoying as hell. Every time he yells "Yeehaw!" its like nails on a chalkboard. It makes me not want to ride my horse anymore. He's not a badass like John was, it feels like I'm playing as some western hobo loser instead of an awesome cowboy/gunslinger-type. Luckily I have a game saved before John dies. I might go back to that save and tie up all the loose ends, and then finish the game :-/

Wha-wha-WHUT?
Not only is Season 3 of Deadwood amazing, its finale is one of the best in TV history, perfectly encapsulating every single thing the show was ever about in 53 minutes.
IT IS PERFECTION.

Does anyone
play Jack differently than they play John? For some reason, I find myself being much more brutal. When I played as John, my first instinct when taking down criminals was to always lasso and never kill them. I felt bad killing them when I was John...like it went against his character and the kind of person he was trying to be. With Jack, I murder everything. Horse thieves, general store robbers, and even bounties that are worth more alive than dead. While John was a recovering outlaw trying to do right by the world while continually being forced to do things against his will, Jack is a jaded, vengeance driven youth who's sole reason to live is to seek revenge against the world that took his father away from him.
While it's clear that John influenced Jack in many ways and clearly set a precedent to be a good man when he grew up, John was an absent father for much of Jack's youth. He tried to make up for lost time at the end of the game, but aside from teaching him how to hunt and track, he didn't have enough time with him before he died to ensure that he never followed in his footsteps.
I just think it's interesting how John and Jack's upbringing both mirror each other but are vastly different. John was orphaned at a young age and barely knew his father. Because he was orphaned, Dutch recruited him into his gang and became his surrogate father. Jack was orphaned relatively young and became a gunslinger out of necessity and because that was the only thing that he could do to preserve the spirit of his father after his death. So many similarities, but in the end John became an outlaw to help people (i.e. steal from the rich, give to the less fortunate) whereas Jack becomes a gunslinger for the empty, soulless, and selfish reason of revenge.
Wow. Totally derailed there. Anyway, it just seems more natural to be brutal with Jack since he is fueled by despair and revenge. Plus, he's always scowling.
Or maybe his voice is so grating that it fills me with hatred for human life.

How do you ever watch any show. A 30 second commercial spot has more spoilers. Good lord you are touchy. Spoiler alert, the show takes place in Deadwood.
I thought all of season 3 was bad. Especially that dude and the hookers story line. Just awful stuff.
eznark said:
indeed the tv is littered with spoilers trying to attract people with no or little attention spans
nor memory evidently
movie trailers lately are another thing and are frigging ridiculous... are people really that distracted or stupid that you need to layout every decent scene in the movie including spoilers to get them to watch?
/rant
Klocker said:
So I'm stupid because I like to know what I'm getting myself into before I actually go and watch a movie? Sure, there are certain movie trailers that give away too much of the plot and divulge all of the "best scenes." But I'm not going to walk into a movie if I haven't seen some amount of footage to gauge if it's even worth my time.
Yeah usually do private. But figured we all may as well get the one achievment.Eel O'Brian said:
I know gettin killed is all part of it, but come on it's kinda ridiculous. It was 8 people surrounding me and 4 buddies killing us before we could even call up a horse. No chance :\
