[Official] Red Dead Redemption

[Fourjays Veteran]

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.

The ending made me sad. : ( Would have preferred to have continued as John, but there is an additional story element for shifting to Jack - if you haven't come across it yet there is a related stranger mission at the station in Blackwater. Also be sure to check out a newspaper afterwards too. ; )

I bought this game so I could play online with some mates, so far we haven't been able to play together. I get an invite and keep getting an error message saying I couldn't connect.

Both my mates are having the same problem.

I've even tried to play 'capture the bag' but no one seems to join.

I can see people when I free roam and I can interact with them, but it's kinda boring.

Bought the game today and love love love the gameplay however the graphics are definitely not amazing especially on PS3, when this comes out on PC I'm so buying it though because for me the graphics are horrible lol

One of my friends hopped on my 360 today and started going nuts. First he had to test out the "set a lady hogtied on the tracks" which cracked us all up. From there we all started joking that it would be incredibly sweet if you could ride up to a train and hop on. A minute later we found out Rockstar had thought the same thing. :D

Strong GOTY for me.

which aiming mode do you guys use on single player? i didn't like the way normal locked on so i changed it to expert. sure makes it more of a challenge!

I have the limited edition and have all the peices for the Deadly Assassin Outfit, bar one.

I need to kill the dude from the most wanted poster at Abidillo, but the problem is it never spawns on the poster. I've done like 50 of those Most Wanted's now from there but the guy I need to kill just refuses to spawn.

So my question is, is it a random spawn or do I need to do anything in particular to make that event spawn?

I just use the default option. Left trigger locks on, I move the cursor up a tiny bit, and its boom instant headshots.

Nope, it's supposed to be your first bounty. It's a known glitch. Either wait for a patch, or simply start over. Happened to me as well. I was +20hrs in and chose to start over. Didn't bother me none cause the game's so much fun.

What you'll want to do is make sure you get all B's missions done and out the way before picking anything up in Armadillo. When you get to Armadillo and you take on the Marshall's quest, make sure you kill the guy and not take him alive.

Do this and your first bounty should be Mo Vann Barr.

Thanks dude, I'm allready at Mexico with pretty good gear and everything else so I might just wait for the patch. :)

Cheers!

I got it this afternoon on 360. question... if I fail a mission by accidentally aiming a weapon at the person you're tying to 'rescue' and it says 'mission failed'... am I able to do that mission again or do I not get to complete it ever? :(

Its really fun though! really enjoying it :D

[-KJ]

^ It seems a lot of people screw up on that mission if it's the one I'm thinking.

Yes you can just redo it (from last checkpoint) usually unless its the first bounty mission in Armadillo, which it seems, is bugged and won't respawn.

if your worried thou, just save your game at a house after each mission. If you fail one, you can always reload from that point.

American Appetites mission? :(

American Appetites mission? :(

what about it?

[G_0]

Very excited now. I was moving and did not want to get into this game as it looks and sounds like WAY toooo much fun. But after today that is all done and I have 2 more days off.

YEEEEEE-HAAAAW!!!!!

[Minifig]

I was going to pick this up, but I couldn't afford it..

One of my loyal UStream viewers said he hated it, has it for the PS3, and would be willing to send it to me if I wanted it, and so I pretty much jumped on the chance.

I'll have a copy of RDR for PS3 (for scott nothing) in 1-2 weeks, as it's coming from Europe.

Hooray for region free systems. :happy:

[Huleboeren]

This game is so cool!

Just out of curiosity, did anyone see the short film that came on last night on Fox that was made from Red Dead Redemption? I can say that anyone that hasn't played the game, will not have a freaking clue what's going on from that. It seems like they tried to cram hours of cut scenes and story information into 20-30mins. I'm in Blackwater now, so I haven't finished the game yet, but even after playing the part where the short film takes place in makes no sense, and I know what happens. This is pretty bad.

[Huleboeren]

Rockstar should definitely implement some of these minigames, minifeatures into GTA - RDR has so many small features that are wicked cool.

Yesterday I used my lasso to capture people, then I hogtied them and put them on the train tracks :D

And the aiming and shooting is great.

The Dead Eye feature is what the fallout 'deadeye' feature should have been.

Would also like to see Dead Eye implemented in GTA so we can disarm people of their weapons, bust their kneecaps etc

American Appetites mission? :(

The ending was not nice. :laugh:

[IceBreakerG]

I just finished the game a few minutes ago. I'll hide the spoilers, so let's just say:

I'm not happy about it :( Was really messed up what happened. To the point where I seriously felt sad about what happened even though it's not even real, but because i experienced everything first hand, I grew to really like John Marston. I was really starting to like his wife too, even though they had some problems, they loved each other. It took a good 10mins or so before I realized the character you take over as was Jack too. I didn't realize this until I saw that the save location at the farm house moved from John's room to Jack's room lol. After he buried Abigail, I saw the character like "wtf is this???" I didn't recognize him at all, it was like a completely different person. Anyway, I really wish they would've let them live, but this made me hate those damn feds, pretty much like in real life lol. You do everything they ask, then you still die at the end. Was really f'd up to get gunned down like that.

Anyway, I can say this is one of the best games I've played this year, along side Mass Effect 2. I'm tempted to say I enjoyed this more than ME2, minus those damn cougar attacks and the random glitches/frustrations. Other than that, the game has been great.

I am in Mexico now in the game

I just finished the game a few minutes ago. I'll hide the spoilers, so let's just say:

I'm surprised people didn't see it coming, after you go to his farm to catch up with his family I knew he was going to die. I just wasn't sure if they would kill his wife too. Felt like a bit of a textbook ending.

I expected it, but I still didn't want it to happen lol. Oh well, I left a nice big hole in the back of Ross' head in the end, so that made me feel a little better. One thing that annoys me though is nobody seems to know Jack's name, even though I just reached maximum honor and fame. Pretty weak. I was starting to like everybody coming up to me like "Hello Mr. Marston."

Off topic: Wth are my stars green now? And why can't I change that text under my avatar?
