Red Dead Redemption

[BillyG]

Fuuuuuck all I can do is think about skinning animals and saving travelers from packs of coyotes.

[nerdious dorkus]

I keep fucking forgetting this is like GTAIV and saving in the "house". UGH. I want to fucking be able to press start and save, fuckers.

[Trejo]

You can save nearly anywhere, just got to set up camp in the wilderness.

Start would be easier, though..

[Matt]

Yeah, the whole 'save' system is kinda weak. I like being able to save the game every 5 minutes or so (like in DA:O) just to cover my ass.

The parlor games are also pretty half-assed when it comes to their presentation and layout.

Skipping the twenty-second dealing animation after every hand? Kiss my horse's wedding tackle.

[Abraham Smashington]

I rock at poker. But yeah, FABLE II did it better.

[gravedigger]

So this game is pretty cool? I know some of you dudes were having a lot of fun the other night. Is the honeymoon still on?

[BillyG]

Fuck yes it is. I just got to Mexico! Must get Bandito costume!

[BillyG]

OK, I highly recommend getting to Mexico with money in your pocket. Not only do you get the new Dead Eye system, but you can also buy the bolt action rifle and semi-auto pistol...and auto-shotgun. Now that I have all of these I'm in total fuck off mode. I'm hunting, doing bounties, exploring side quests, checking out random roadside quests, and all that good stuff. It feels like the first 10 or so hours I spent with the game was one long fucking tutorial.

[B_Metal]

Can anyone provide a break down on duels? The first duel I won, but since then I have lost them all. I have no idea what I am supposed to be doing.

THIS OMG THIS!! FUUUUUUUU duels!! This is a. OUTRAGEEDHOCKEN!!!!!


Edited to add: I guess you guys are all "FUCK multiplay" since none of you took my invites or returned my messages tonight. Lulz

[Captain Russ]

Usually if you go for the disarm method of shooting the gun out of their hand (or just lighting up their trigger finger/hand/arm) you'll win.

[B_Metal]

Mine must be broke, I've put it on the head, hand, body, and marsten just stands there and gets shot. Am I missing a button press or something?

You have to pull the trigger before they do. You don't need 6 shots every time, if you see them quick-drawing then put a few markers on them and press fire.

But shooting the gun out of their hand and the hat off their head and then blowing holes in both their kneecaps is HIGHLY satisfying. They crawl away muttering "No, not like this" and other things.

[BillyG]

I skipped multi last night because getting to Mexico and getting new guns has made this game 100 times better than it already was. I'm just exploring every nook and cranny now.

[Matt]

Sorry, Rob. I did the whole 'herding the horses' thing with zero problem. If it took 2 minutes, I'd be surprised.

Really starting to fall in love with this game. Oh man, I watched a cartoon in the movie theater that had me on the floor laughing. When the tapeworms shot out of the guy's ass and he started humping the tree...let's just say that the game went up a notch in my eyes.
