Indubitably. Whenever I think of Red Dead Redemption, I think of that ending. I see everything after as an epilogue of sorts, but the ending left me
devastated. I was literally left upset for days afterwards.

The only part that bothered me was the disconnect between the way you could play Marston, and the Marston we encountered in the story and cutscenes. I played Marston as a high honor character, so to see himA27 Tawpgun said:

The sections in New Austin and West Elizabeth were great, though. Dat ending.

I thought they were great. I loved how the game was clearly winding down rather than having an abrupt, rushed ending. I was satisfied with the outcome too.
Great game, I generally disliked all things Country Western themed before RDR.

I usually don't like Free roaming games like GTA, but RDR is really a great game and playing in a Western setting was amazing and even refreshing .
One of the best surprises of this gen!

There were some great moments in the narrative, particularly the early and later chapters, but just like GTAIV it gets lost in between. It deviates from the more interesting plot lines and gets muddled as too many characters come and go with no real purpose. The Mexico segment is probably the best example of this. Gorgeous environment but just about everything that occurs during those chapters has no bearing on the overall plot and the characters introduced are quickly forgotten.
Part of the problem is due to the length and scope of these games, but I think the narratives would benefit a lot if they could cut that kind of fat out.

I liked the idea and concept behind the ending, but not the execution.
Jack was just not developed enough, the whole idea of killing John is good but should have happened earlier in the story so that theres more to the ending than just find bad guy and shoot him, plus there are plot holes. Why wasn't John shot right after killing Dutch? Doesn't make sense to let him live for like, 3 days.
I dont dislike it because it made me upset, being upset is fine. I just dont think the dialogue and presentation lived up to the idea.

Definitely one of my favorite gaming experiences so far. Everything was superb, minus the occasional glitch. Hoping to play online more, so feel free to add me on PSN.

The game's random nature combined with the limited saving does drive me up a wall at times.
I had gathered three Armadillo skins for one of the challenge, and decided to go back to town. On my way back, I get the "my horse got stolen" random encounter. Being the honorable sort, I decide to help out...
I get jumped in the middle of it by a cougar! Naturally, he kills my horse, I go tumbling down a cliff... and die!
I know about the "change horse to immediately save" trick, but unfortunately there's that damned 20 missions while on one horse achivement/trophy... :-/
Edit:
Is the social club login of any value? I have no interest or desire in any of the Grand Theft Auto games.

So as a noob to the game (I have literally just gotten started), I have a few questions.
What happens if my horse dies, I have just got the stallion and I presume its a decent horse, if it dies will it respawn? Or will it be lost? Can it randomly die in battle if its near me (like if I jump off near enemies to do a mission?)
Is there a easier way to keep my horses speed up than spamming A when stamina allows? Holding A seems to make him slow down.
Are there any missable missions? I know with these free roam games you may end up doing something that puts you in a different part of the map, I dont wanna miss out on anything though.
I have just brought the rabbits foot, and it seems like a good investment, but what is money like in this game, is it hard to come by or can I basically buy what I want?
When it comes to selling animal skins and wildflowers, am I better off looking for the best price, or is there just a static price for all of them? Is there any advantage to holding onto that kind of stuff?
Thanks in advance, amazing game!

It depends. If it's your first horse or you bought it (own the deed), it'll respawn. If you tamed it, it's dead. Enemies can and will attack the horse. Especially animals.
Nope. It's the big annoyance I have with the game.
Doesn't seem like it.
A lot of the weapons you get for free from missions/hideouts. If you really care, you can check the wiki. Money doesn't seem to be all that difficult, since you can get ammo for free from chests and weapons on the ground.
I ran into one quest that needed a certain number of plants picked, 3 of the first three kinds. Haven't seen any others so far. The challenges force you to start fresh regardless of how many you may have.

Thanks for that! I guess im going to buy the upgraded campsite and bandolier belt then, Dont see why not considering money seems to come fairly easy. Its a shame about the horses, but I guess eventually ill buy the deed to one of the better horses anyway.

WTF the game has locked up twice now during the mission where you
I hope this isn't a sign of impending doom for my XBox
use the machine gun mounted on the army truck to mow down Dutch's men

I missed a stranger quest or two somehow. I was going for 100% and one of the last things I had left was finishing up some quest that I had skipped. I forget the name of it... Aztec something or California something. It didn't really have much to do with the story at all, I just needed to find it for 100%.
Really? RDR locked on me only once in the 30+ hours I've played of single player, and none on the many hours (dunno how many though) I've played multiplayer. GTA4 has frozen about 3 times in the 40 hours I have recorded (plus many hours I've not saved the game and just simply quit).Persona7 said:

Snake oil salesman guy overstayed his welcome, just like many other characters.Snuggler said:
The snake oil guy also made Marston look like a complete bitch and really took me out of the story.

I have just finished my 3rd or 4th mission with him and im beginning to hate him, but I think that sort of works because Marston seems to feel the same way. 
Luckily ive finished all his current missions but I still have to work with Seth, and I havent even bothered meeting Irish yet.
I get the feeling the swindler, the drunk and the freak are going to make me want to stop playing the game entirely between them.

Im generally loving the game, and I want to explore the world and free roam, but the missions are beginning to grate on me a little.

I bought this game last year at release and have been forcing myself to play it little by little and I'm somewhere near the end of the Mexico part now (I think.), if I haven't enjoyed the game that much until now, is it worth it to play it 'til the end?

It's just that I enjoy it to an extent. Some of the missions are actually fun and I like the story and cinematics, but the horse rides in between the mission occupy 80% of the game and they're just atrociously boring.NEOPARADIGM said:
I had exactly the same problem with GTA IV whereas I played until the Museum mission.
Never felt the same with GTA: San Andreas where exploring was fun and rewarded.

Hmm I disagree, the free roaming is the best bit, because there will always be something happening in the world. If you really dislike it you can just fast travel using your camping kit or the stagecoaches around the map.

Well ma point was that if you've been "meh" to this point, you're probably gonna be "meh" the rest of the way, too. It doesn't all of a sudden get way better or anything, no. If anything it kinda drags a bit, imo, and I say that as someone who loved the game.

This. Playing this game high as fuck, just riding your horse is the funniest thing ever. I got undead nightmare a few weeks ago, and have been playing it non stop. This has been the best open-world game in a looong time. I love it. RDR2 can't come fast enough. Please release it on PC though.Fjordson said:

You still play the game multiplayer? I would love some people to go through some of the co op missions with, but kind of want to avoid playing it with people who have already played them to death as it will probably not be as much fun as playing it with people going through them fresh. I think I missed the boat on that though.

I think I would've enjoyed it if I hadn't been so... stressed while playing the game. From the get-go I just wanted to complete the game and be done with it so I could move on to the next game in my backlog. Which was stupid. But I can't just shake away that feeling.Fjordson said:
Bleh, I don't know how to explain it. I can see why it is such a great game but I don't feel it, I s'pose, even though I know how to.
Wow, it sounds like I'm on drugs. I haven't played it in 5 or 6 months now so maybe I should just wait another 6 months and play it from the beginning and see if I like it better.

I hear that I will soon have access to Mexico, will I still be able to go back to America afterwards or not?

Someone already ruined that at the end of the game you end up playing as your son, Jack. I dont know much more than this so please dont spoil me further but what happens to any side missions after the main character switch? Does Jack have different conversations with strangers? What happens if I start a stranger mission with John and then return to do the second part with Jack?

Is there really Ennio Morricone music in this game? I'm thinking of picking it up for this reason alone.
I REALLY enjoyed Red Dead Revolver, but I'm not very fond of 'sandbox' or Rockstar games.
