While I would normally agree with you on this, I've seen my fair share of "crappy movies" based off of trailers alone. Even then, if the movie is getting great reviews, seeing some footage will guarantee that I go see it.
Also wanted to note:

The Blackwater mission where
you have to rescue the crazy, Yale professor from Dutch and his men has the best example of this. The professor is like "What are we going to do?" and John is like "I'm going to hand you over and let them tear you limb from limb!" The professor freaks out only to have John say "Just kidding, we're going out on the roof." The character interaction combined with John and the professor's expressions had me cracking up.

Oh and, are there more options to finnish the game e.g. other endings?

I still want an expansion where you go into WW1. Considering John's son has the required age at the end.

Again: They could make it like in "Legends of the Fall" or they could include famous battles of the US-forces e.g. the Battle of Belleau Wood.
It would be quite interesting, in my opinion.

I have to say I'm extremely satisfied with RDR. Just finished the game. It surpasses GTA in every way possible, especially in the story, atmosphere, and character departments. There are a few tiny problems here and there but overall, it's one of my favorite sandbox games ever, and one of the best games I've played this year.
Now to go through and finish off some of those Challenges and Achievements...Also really looking forward to the Co-Op DLC.

Watching the tribute videos to the game and it
DO NOT CLICK ON THIS VIDEO, MASSIVE SPOILER

Song fits it perfectly
breaks my heart when I see John's face when he realises he'll never see his family again. He walks to his death.

Yeah. Song fits perfectly to that scene better than any. Amazing.
I really like this music video, personally. Well edited and great choice of song not from the OST to summarize the entire game.
Contains spoilers from most of the game. Do not watch unless you have already completed the story.

I used the Colt Automatic to kill Ross. It seemed fitting since it was the gun that Ross gave to John

Rope em while on your horse and just ride around.
Mr. Sam said:
Fuck me. Now that's what I'm talking about! I never did anything to his wife because I thought the game would tell me to kill her, but never did. His brother got attacked by a pack of wolves and I riddled Ross' body with bullets. I'm about to replay that mission and finish it off right.

Yeah, that's what everyone is saying and I really want to see that ending, but then I realize that the missions are no longer fun and i'm only 1/3 of the way through the game :lol. Rockstar has crafted a fantastic world, but i've come to realize that I just don't like their mission designs at all.
I will, however, attempt to press on. Let's just hope

2 In the crotch and the rest of the magazine in the face
As far as end game thoughts:
I never thought a video game could make me feel as sad but that last scene with Bonnie was so heart wrenching. And even that had nothing on when my horse was killed by some stray bullet from some bandits. Once I got to the great plains I had it set in my mind to get one of those fast American Standardbreds. As I was riding it back to blackwater my old faithful horse was following me back to Blackwater. I had to hop off and gave him one last ride into town, went into the general store, bought the deed to the American Standardbred, and used it right there so I wouldn't have to see my old horse again. The decision haunted me the rest of the game. :lol The horse was fast, but it never seemed as loyal as that Kentucky Saddler, it was always too far from me and it never came right away when I called. The first thing I did with Jack was buy the deed for the KS and put him back on his father's true horse.
I loved this setting and even if it wasn't really all that accurate with the state of civilization in the West. I'd love to see them revisit this era (maybe a couple decades earlier). I hope they continue the Rockstar tradition of not returning to the same characters though. I feel like we've seen all we need to of John Marston's (and Jack's) life. Even if they do single player DLC, I hope they do it like the Liberty City episodes and focus on someone/something new.

To know which horse is a better horse look at the number of stars on the deed in the general store. Or consult this list http://reddead.wikia.com/wiki/Horses#Breeds
Basically you want one of the top 3 horses. You can make a horse "yours" by lassoing it, breaking it, and hitching it to a post somewhere, but if it dies, it's gone. You can "own" it by purchasing a deed for it. Then even if it dies you can use your deed and the same breed of horse will come when you whistle.
To purchase a deed for one of the top 3 horses you need to have found them and broken them in the wild. Until then the deeds will be unavailable. You break the Kentucky Saddler during one of the early Bonnie missions. It's the 2nd fastest horse in the game and my favorite horse. The other two are found in Mexico and West Elizabeth.

I could see other games done in this style. Perhaps a Sherlock Holmes open world game?

k... I'm stuck at 97.7% done... >_<
I already beat the game
did all stranger missions
did all hideouts
played and won at least once in every mini game type
finished all challenges
Did at least one of each side job (aka horses, night watch)
have all costumes the 24 hour one
tamed all 3 star horses
so if I beat the 24 hour thing for the costume will I have 100% or what am I missing?

There were some odd decisions made with the writing/mission design:
so i'm in Mexico doing a mission with Landon Ricketts, we need to go rescue some guy's sister from a cave. Well, first, we need to have Carl waste some time with a distraction that removes two guards from the mouth of the cave...only for Landon and I to go shoot up 20+ guys in the cave. Why did we need this distraction again? :lol

Bounties. I still have to do a few.RelentlessRolento said:
Also, you need to do a job once per location. So anywhere there's a night watch job, you need to complete the job at least once in that location.

Finished the main game. One of the best I've ever played.
After killing Ross I bought a newspaper and there it said that John Marston was still a member of the gang by the time Ross killed him, kinda odd I guess. Also, it said that Landon Ricketts died and left his memoir but would not be published. Does anyone know if it's possible to find his grave and what he wrote?
My favourite so far is this one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrXMq-m29og Same song, also massive spoilers, but edited so well. Done by a Gaffer, can't remember who though, sorry.Meus Renaissance said:
Keep going, you are in what I thought was the weakest part of the story.Pandoracell said:
LSauchelli said:
It was supposed to be a hatred/revenge moment for Jack and the player. John was no longer a member of Dutch's gang, we all knew that. What more than likely happened is that he went into Ross' report as still being part of the gang and that's why he had to be killed, just so more credit and medals could go to Ross. Makes me want to replay that final mission over and over again. I wish we would have a choice for us not to let it end in a duel, but rather give us the opportunity to kill him however we pleased. That pathetic piece a trash didn't deserve an honorable death.

This, with the utmost of sincerity, is my game of this console generation, bar none. It took all the little gripes I had with open world games, added purpose and memorable characters, and offered a climax most developers only wish they had the balls to do.
Fucking props to the development team. God damn.

Man if they just added a couple businesses and some extra DLC they could have made soooo much money. Just give me a business to run fuck.

So this is sort of odd. I think it happened when i joined the R* Social Club online, and received the camel colored elegant suit as bonus. Suddenly, I noticed the holster that normally houses my selected rifle is MIA. Has this happened to anyone else? Is there a fix? I've restarted the game, turned it on and off, loaded another save, swapped out new outfits (you name it, i've tried it)...and nothing has worked. It's not game hampering, but it is annoying.

EDIT: (360/Other?) Rifle/Shotgun/Repeater holster disappears, making it appear as if the gun on your back is attached by nothing. To fix, get arrested and when you exit the prison it will be on your back again.
fixed.
