Jack's voice will man up overtime with cigarettes and whiskey. He's still a very young man.
3 red rings while doing Pike's Basin runs in free roam. But then I turn on the 360 again and it works fine.
I'm worried. If it breaks again it better be another 3-red ring or an E74 error. My regular 1-year warranty has expired but the 3-year RedLight/E74 warranty is still in effect.

Yes definitely. I'm trying to mow through the SP because I don't want to spoil the locations/missions for myself playing in co-op.
I probably won't be able to hold out much longer though. I've been marathoning this the last few days and I'm probably not even halfway through. :lol
It's so atmospheric, and the animation is so good... I find myself walking/trotting most places because it feels very cinematic or whatever. Game is too good.
My only complaint is that when (I'm in hardcore aiming mode) I draw my weapon with L1 it will holster in a couple seconds later if there isn't an enemy around. It's incredibly annoying.
Other than that this is game of the century.

bad gameplay lol
Well, it's been fun, but I think I'm going to be trading this in towards BlazBlue CS come the end of the month.
It's a wonderful game, and a STRONG contender for my personal GOTY, but I haven't touched it in over a month. Beat the story and have 92.8% overall completion and just don't feel compelled to go for the 100%. And let's face it, RDR is going to be easy as hell to find, and likely $20-30 used within a year. Whereas BBCS is going to be rare as fuck within months.
But I will say that I enjoyed every minute of RDR. Fantastic game. Kudos, Rockstar San Diego. You made a beautiful, compelling, and most importantly FUN game.

I'm in the same boat. I explored as much as I could in single-player, dabbled in some multiplayer, but yeah... I think I'm redeemed. (har, har).
Redemption is honestly one of those rare games that comes around every once in a while in this industry and basically says to everybody, "fuck you, this is how I'm running things." I couldn't be happier, and when I look back on video games in twenty years, Red Dead Redemption will be a game I'll tell my kids about.

I haven't finished the game yet (up to Reyes in Mexico), but so far I'm finding it boring, and pretty tedious. It looks great and sounds good too, but it keeps with GTA4's style of "follow the path or fail" mission design, giving the player very little choice in taking on any particular thing. Dead or alive bounties are cool, but the story missions are so scripted there's not much room for player creativity.
The AI is whack-a-mole brain dead, the shooting (on normal) requires no skill (I've never felt the need to ever use dead eye), and nearly every mission is a combination of riding something, shooting guys, and shooting guys while riding something, all of which I'm getting tired of.
The story is so completely ridiculous: "I need to catch this bad guy, so I'm going to murder hundreds of dudes for you so you'll help me in some small way, but I'm really a good guy." The setting feels like it's trying to be realistic, but the sheer numbers of enemies you mow down would fill every settlement on the map several times over. There's no sense of continuity from one mission to the next. For example, there's a massacre at a farm, and the very next day I'm there trying to help some moron sell snake oil to a crowd of people, and the farm appears to be just fine. Every character I've met so far is annoying, and they all like to babble on incessantly in cut scenes and on interminable horse rides on the way to shoot guys. What's worse, my character feels like a gullible idiot who'll agree to do anything anyone asks him without bothering to think of his own solution.
Sorry I'm so down on a game a lot of people in this thread really enjoy, but that's how I feel.

I want to get a posse of eight GAF'ers going on the 360... I've been playing multiplayer so much over the past few days, trying to get to level 50 (I'm at 34 now). I realized that it can get incredibly fun going from hideout to hideout with a big posse. And helping posse members get journal challenges (can't believe how many there are, I've been addicted to them. yesterday I actually started collecting wild feverfew...).

I can't kill a snake
I can't find em. I hear a rattle but that's it. I've only seen 1 up close and that was during a cut scene.
For fun, I turn GOD mode on, jump on top of the train and start shooting people because for some reason, the train can outrun the army.

They're literally everywhere. Just run around in the plains for a few minutes.
recklessmind said:
Heh heh, i was wondering the same thing. Which act are you in? I think there's 3 total and I haven't even finished the first. Like you said, I don't want to spoil the SP with MP locations...
BTW, the coop missions were an absolute blast last night. Can't wait to finish off the rest of them and unlock the advanced ones.

Shit, i'm still in act 1 and killed a ton of them around Armadillo. When you hear the rattle start looking around carefully (they'll bite and stun you).

I've been meaning to try and hop on a train to shoot five birds for so long. Problem is, every time I look at the map the damn train is literally on the other side of the map. Is there any easy way to get on the train that I'm somehow missing?
Also, I think I'm almost finished with Mexico and I just now learned how to make a camp. All this time my dumbass was running to the nearest stage coach. So much time and money wasted.

trains are always on their set courses. You'll have to hoof it on horseback (or be a pussy and wait in town) to catch one.
a good tip is to go to your map, see where the train is, go back to the game, wait a few moments, then check the map again and check the train's direction.

Glad you had fun, because I had a blast and I'm thinking I'll probably try and platinum this one. So, I'll need help golding the co-ops and then doing the advanced missions.
As far as single player... I'm probably right at the end of act 1. Hard to say exactly cause I've been avoiding spoilers but I have a feeling it's the end of the first area. Plus I do all the side missions and things, and chase down outfit unlocks... stretches things out a bit.
I'm still going to play MP while going through SP...

Can anyone offer some NAT advice? I'm stuck with NAT 3 even when I have the PS3 wired directly into the modem. Meaning I can't play RDR with most of my friends list. Should I contact my isp?

most likely your modem has a built in firewall . contact your isp and ask for the ip address for the web configuration screen.then set your console's ip in the modems dmz and your doneTheBrain76 said:

I'm exactly where you're at in the game and couldn't agree more. The cut-scenes are the absolute fucking worst. It's the same problem that Vice City Stories and GTA4 had with their story and main characters. I simply find it impossible to buy into this garbage story.
You guys made it more complicated than you needed to. The reload at the beginning of dead eye doesn't count as reloading, but just to be sure I used the Evans Repeater since it's got 22 shots. Just head to any gang hideout. Dead Eye to disarm, they'll pull out a second gun and you can disarm them again. It takes a minute or two to get them all.Dead Man said:
I actually ended up having to do it about 6 or 7 times in a row because it didn't auto-save afterward and I kept getting myself killed after having completed it.

Just recently got 100% on this, managed to do it in 23hr 57mins 47s, so just under the 24 hour mark. That said this was my second attempt at the story so I just skipped all the cutscenes and did the extra side-missions.
Worst part of the game for me is waiting for things out of your control to happen, (i.e. Master Hunter Challenge 5, killing 2 cougars with your knife)

Basically need NAT 1 or NAT 2. NAT 1 is usually if you have a wired connection (my issues not withstanding) and NAT 2 is what you want with a wireless connection. It gets tricky depending on what router you have, but it's not impossible. If you have a PS3 there are a ton of really helpful threads on the playstation forums.

who's our third? I should be on tonight for a bit... back to work after a long holiday weekend
Maybe we can recruit a random or something... I'll be on for a bit tonight, but I have a big job tomorrow, so not too long/late.
PS3 gaffers looking to posse up: my tag is Evolved1, send FR and put GAF & RDR in message.
Just finished the game, managed to do so spoiler free. Fucking amazing ending, probably one of the best I've ever seen in a game. I think the last portion of the game puts this above ME2 for goty for me. The shooting in the game didn't do much for me, but everything else from the atmosphere to the story really drew me in.
I'm excited and I'm going to buy these... but you just know their integration into the game will be shit.
I really am baffled by how much Rockstar sucks at game menus and integrating DLC. Does anyone really prefer fumbling around in-game to set up something that could be done in half the time with a decent title menu?

Yeah, I'm very interested but justing into the MP now (only level 10). I've been playing with Reckless and man it's a struggle to do some basic shit and navigate.
I'll wait on see on the first two but the zombie pack sounds awesome, I was thinking about that as I went by a cemetery near one of the towns while playing the other night.
I puzzled by the "anti-griefing measures" as part of the free roam dlc. Pricing and release date TBC? Why would anti-griefing fixes be part of paid DLC???
That seems so good...... Too bad I hardly buy DLC. Plus integration will be CRAP.
Oh come on. Things like 'anti grief measures' for free roam should be free. Just general upgrading of the experience should be free. Additional modes/maps/characters, pay. Don't fuck up and split the community Rockstar.

Zombies in Red Dead. I love this idea.
Uh. Shooting with R2 is fine and the graphics are fine as well. If you really can't stand less foliage in some spots and a less bright image, buy 360 version.Binabik15 said:
I like the multiplayer, but random freeroam isn't that much fun. You should play it with friends, and it'll be alot more fun.
