[Official] Red Dead Redemption

[Pablo2008jedi]

ok.. so what do I do next?

Well look at your map, there are different icons that you can interact with. The storyline missions are always a large letter like "B" or "W".....Maybe RTFM :)

Found this map that might be usefull for people who can't find he location of a certain animal they need for hunting challenges .

I take it you are interested in this twitter give-away:

red-dead give-away

I'm already following them...

I jumped over a gap in the landscape and camera switched to worms-eye-view showing a nice shot of my horse leaping across. Was very unexpected. Nice touch. No Slo-Mo effect like recent stunt jumps in gta games though.

Same thing on my end but if you look at the details of the suit it says we have to purchase it from a tailor somewhere. I do not remember off hand where it says. So the wording is definitely wrong as we need to do something else to get the suit. And I wanted to cheat at poker!!!

Different suit. He's talking about the Gentleman's Attire. You're talking about the Elegant Suit.

Ahhhh okay so then it's completely broken for me as it doesn't even show up on my end and it said I got it too for that rockstar club or whatever it's called. It would just be under outfits right?

Yup it should just show up under outfits. It was there after I registered and linked my account on Socialclub, and on the next play through the suit was gone :(

Just finished the story. Anyone else done so?

[SimplySchizo]

I'm 50% through the story myself. I get easily sidetracked. Currently hunting raccoons . What a pain in the ass.

yup, some of us did it last weekend.

Ok so I randomly found a sheriff who had lost two prisoners. I hog tied them and brought them back to the sheriff (laying them at his feet). He said thanks and then proceeded to shoot the prisoners point blank while they were helpless. What's up with that?

Yeah I remember that one, went out my way not to kill them only for the dirty sheriff todo it :p

This game has officially one over my non gamer friend. It's not like he hates video games or anything, he just hates how much time my friend and I spend on them sometimes. After watching me play for about 20 minutes, he asked if he could try. I turned off auto save and let him go wild. He actually ended up trying missions and learning the controls very quickly.

Besides the above, my other gamer friend has been playing this game constantly. He is a fairly tough critic when it comes to games but recently Alan Wake was able to win him over (easily) and he now says that RDR is better than GTA IV.

Bravo Rockstar!

This is a question for those who have finished the game. I just got to Black Water yesterday and did a few missions there. I know I'm pretty close to finishing the game, but my question is (and no spoilers other than answering the question please) when you finish the game, is it like GTA where you're still free to roam around and complete side quests/missions you may have missed previously? I'm trying to get the achievement for doing missions for 15 random people, but I only have like half of them so far.

I only just completed it last night and was able to continue free-roaming. The stranger missions and random events were still appearing so I guess everything continues to be achievable.

After this, I'd much rather have another Red Dead game before another GTA. :yes: GTA IV wasn't a bad game, but by comparison it seemed much longer (it may not be) and the missions far more repetitive.

[ramsy66]

This game feels endless, which is great. i thought i just finished the game, but more missions came and came. i think i've clocked about 21 hours, and i've still not finished the story and have tonnes of challenges and other stuff to do.

indeed you can.

[IceBreakerG]

Cool, that's good to know. I want to keep doing the bounty missions, gang hideouts and other jobs. This game has been awesome. Right now it's a good fight between this and Mass Effect 2 for my game of the year.

Hope DL doesn't read this but I know he was struggling with the Horse Shoe Achievement in a post he made a while back. On my second practice throw I threw a ringer but apparently the achievement must only count if you are playing for money. :(

No worries, prior to when I posted, I really only tried it for a few minutes, and for whatever reason I just did not get it. Once I put my mind to it, I figured it out once I really tried it. I got the ringer achievement pretty shortly after as well. I actually just played a round in some little town in the Northwest of the map when just roaming around, and got like 5 ringers in the game and it was over real fast. Now I am a pro. :laugh:

I also got the one Achievement playing Liar's Dice and winning without losing any dice. Was actually pretty easy in the one and one match that you have to put up $200 to get in. I am about 8-9 hours in and something like 30% through. I just keep getting side tracked and doing the smaller stuff. I am actually on the part

where you are supposed to cross into Mexico with Irish

but I was just going back around the North of the map and getting all of the stranger missions done before I headed South.

So I actually do have two questions.

What wound up happening

when you saved Bonnie? I was able to shoot her off the rope no problem at all, so she did not die by hanging

but my phone rang when the cut-scene started right afterward, and I totally missed what she said???

Now all I know is no more missions no longer show up with her at all, no longer a B icon on the map, so did she tell John to get lost or something? Did she wind up dying somehow and I missed it? Basically I am wondering why is she completely out of the picture now?

My other questions is for Level 6 of the Sharpshooter Challenge, all it says is you have to

shoot the hats off of 2 people, can you just do it in one Dead Eye round? Can it be two different people?

I tried it at one point and though I got it, but it just did not work for whatever reason.

Or does it mean with 1 bullet?

I just have to say this is EASILY one of my favorite games in the past few years. Without any doubt. I actually also rented from Gamefly Split Second and Blur, and I actually quite enjoyed Split Second when I checked it out, and Blur I loved the beta, and I have not touched either since I got Red Dead. Literally have not even put Blur into my drive. I also have Mod Nation Racers for the PS3 which I also did check out for an hour or two and I really like it, and finally I have Super Mario Galaxy 2 which I am totally looking forward to playing, and I have zero desire to play any of them. I am all about Red Dead Redemption. Just wish I had more time to play than I do so I could beat it sooner than later.

Bonnie is fine and appears later on. She basically says thanks (looking a bit of a mess) and then heads home.

Did that one last night and it took 20 civilian sacrifices before I finally figured it out. It can be done with two different people and in two dead eye meters and with two different shots. I found the best way was to go in to dead eye but not set any targets (which seem to hit the head). Instead I manually aimed for the brim of the hat (didn't try flat caps).

It's taken over my life too. :laugh:

Kick ass thanks for the responses. (Y) Good to hear about her, and yeah I kept getting into it with people as well trying Level 6. I was like there has to be a better way than this! :laugh:

[sambrentnall]

Finally got my hands on this game, can't wait to start playing it!

[Vice]

Got the game this afternoon. My first impression is why didn't I hear about this Game ages ago!? I must have been living under a rock because I hadn't heard about this game until about a week ago and it is so good. I absolutely love it. I've got the PS3 version but I'll probably get it again for PC when that launches. I did that with GTA4, bought it twice.

I love Sandbox games and this is probably one of the best ones I've ever played.

[ramsy66]

Completed the game today, finally! i think i've clocked about 22 hours, that's probably the longest story i've ever played. it's such a massive game, unfortunately i sort of lost track of what was going on during the story during mexico, but i caught back up with everything after that.

one of the most powerful endings i've ever had the privilege of experiencing

for people who have finished the game:

do you like playing as jack? i personally don't really like him, he's too arrogant and not as likeable as john was. really wish i was still playing as john.
