Official Red dead Redemption thread.

[Inky]

got this off the rockstar site.

 

The world of Red Dead Redemption is inhabited by a large cast of characters, all living out their lives as John Marston makes his way across the land. One characteristic of the townspeople in the game is jealousy...

 

While becoming famous has perks like shopkeepers giving you discounts and people greeting you by name, it'll also attract attention from gunfighters looking to make a name for themselves. The more famous you are, the more likely you are to be challenged.

 

After gaining enough fame, walk around town such as Armadillo in the daytime and chances are, a wannabe gunslinger will challenge you. Once someone does and you've accepted, you'll have the option to review the dueling tutorial text. Here are a few steps for coming out on top in a duel:

 

1. After accepting a duel, the word "DRAW" appears and two meters are displayed on the right side of the HUD. John's meter is blue and the red meter belongs to your enemy. Fill up John's meter before your enemy and you'll win.

 

2. Draw your weapon by either flicking up then down on the Right Analog Stick or by pressing the Left Trigger/L2.

 

3. Place your shots carefully and quickly using RB/R1, but watch the crosshair. It will change colors back and forth, red and white. Depending on where you aim, white will fill John's meter more than red. Aiming for the gun hand or the top part of the enemy's head when the aiming reticule is white will fill John's meter faster than anything else.

 

Additionally, here are some tips and tricks if you want to take your dueling a step further:

 

If you want to force a duel, put on the Elegant Suit that John receives after the first few missions and then get caught cheating in a poker game.

 

If you want to gain 100 Fame as well as some Honor, disarm your enemy by shooting the gun out of his hand using Dead-Eye. (Do note that some duels that take place during story missions have enemies that cannot be disarmed)

 

Shoot for the gun first and the hat second - embarassing your enemy in a duel is always good fun.

also found this on the rockstar site..... WTF?!?

[emsley]

Ugh,

[veristic]

Doesn't "sexing" in rancher terms mean manually aiding in the copulation of their livestock so they give birth to more cattle? Or horses, etc.

[emsley]

I think that might be the only feasible explanation for such things.

I think I've gotten all I am gonna get out of RDR. I've got well over 80 hours of playtime logged. hopefully the DLC will bring everybody back to multiplayer. Seems like Kro, Solid and others have been wrapped up in call of doody. sorry, I'm not playing that shit.

[emsley]

Im about to have another outing on Single player tonight been a few days been busy, im up in the north now and need to find a buffalo rigle to catch up on my challenges, no luck with treasure number 9 i might have to look for that one on the net.

The bastard.

[Bambi]

I'd still be playing but I got a job

[veristic]

I got a job and I still play ;o

[emsley]

FOUND ALL BURIED TREASURE!!! YAY!!!

[Gryph]

I finally beat the game. It was pretty good but the game lost steam when I got to Mexico and it didn't really pick back up. The way they ended it was interesting.

[emsley]

The game starts of amazing then when you got to Mexico like you say gryph its kinda like they split the game in to two sections, when I was in mexico I wanted to be back in the west herding cattle, the missions in mexico were not as much fun as the missions in the west, the characters became less interesting and not as much imagination was put into missions, sadly I think this might show in any DLC in the future just like GTA episodes.

i think Im nearing the end now, but still dont have a buffalo rifle.

[Inky]

you can buy the buffalo rifle after you finish the 5th hunting challenge. (kill 2 cougars with a knife)

Thanks for that - those wolfs were hard as fuck! who would go up to a pack of wolves and just start balding them lol

How the hell do you run up to a cougar and fuck it up it with a blade they are harder than wolves.

Im just doing the "boars, beavers, and something else, i cant find any beavers.

I think its beavers anyway, if you need to know where the treasure is just ask.

[Inky]

I finished all the treasure, survivalist, and sharpshooter challenges. I've just got hunting challenges left. I don't think I am gonna finish them though.

 

I've been in a piss poor mood lately. and games seem to just aggravate it. In fact I shattered Skate 3 into tiny pieces last night.
