Red Dead Redemption

[Scutch]

I've just got the lasso tonight, too. Also broke in the Stallion, which is now my horse. I didn't know what to do, as I already had the Warhorse. Unsure which is faster but have kept the white stallion for now. Also bought the double barrelled shotgun. That is a beast.

Like the others, I'm off doing other things instead of the missions. Lol. Agree on the movement and detail in the animals too. Awesome.

I think it takes a while to master most things. Shooting, covering, the lasso, the horses... but eventually it all becomes second nature. The lasso in particular takes a good few goes to get used to.

Anyone using Dead Eye a lot for battles and gun fights? I used it on the rope on the guy being hung from the tree at Hanging Rock. Quite cool.

 

[JoeyD]

You'll use dead eye a lot as you get further on in the game.

Eventually the auto-mark thing where you just scan across someone and it marks them several times is taken away, and you have to mark them yourself using RB. Quite tricky at first. But it's a very good system!

 

[Scutch]

Is there a mission which explains Dead Eye and revolves around it? I've been using it regardless and haven't done a task yet about it.

Just holding LT and pressing the right analogue stick to bring up DE.

There is one where you haveto shoot some guys hat using deadeye but that it so far.


oh and you get a shotgun further into the game haha

 

[sneeks]

Yeah I had DE explained to me but can't remember when that was. It's very handy when on the wagons and getting attacked.

s**t I forgot to pick up the shotgun, I was going to go back for it.

 

[JoeyD]

Yeah, that's how you do it.

IIRC the only one i came across is where the auto-mark has been taken away.
And that was early on in mexico...
Strange!

Edit: Yeah, you shoot some guys hat out of the air. Thought it must have been explained earlier..

 

[lanky]

On in to mexico!

 

[Tom_90]

is it near the end when you ge to mexico?

 

[JoeyD]

about half way through isn't it?

 

[lanky]

Hope not, no idea though

 

[JoeyD]

Mexico's scenery get's mighty samey after about an hour or so.
Enjoyed revisiting America tbh.

 

[The Hoff]

Out of /10 then everyone?

 

[Plummer]

Loving this, the single player is so varied.

And the multiplayer is just hilarious all the time!
The fisitcuffs before matches is brilliant, I just jump into people trying to do it! :rasp:

Had a couple of crackers against my mates where they were held up in a gun fight and I would just stride past on horseback cracking rounds out of the semi-auto shotty, each one a kill, and leaving them in disbelief as I grab the bag and score.

Done the same with dead eye and one of the handguns while full out on the horse which was even more satisfying!

 

[sneeks]

Out of /10 then everyone?

9/10 from me.

Think the single player is awesome, but the public online mode is poor compared to the private.

Private is good as you can go doing missions, hunting etc with mates, but as soon as you go public it's just a case of spawn...die, spawn...die. The public pretty does depend on "who sees who first" to kill.

I got caught cheating at poker and ended up having a duel.

 

[Ronnie R]

May have 2 pick this up later today, although the weather is nice so think I'll do a BBQ lol

Whereas in 'reality' its first to pump 5 rounds into each other

How do you cheat at poker?

 

[iain187]

went to about 6 shops today and they had no xbox copies anywhere. luckily i have my ps3!!

 

[JoeyD]

How do you cheat at poker?

You have to wear the "Elegant suit" or something like that. it's the third one that you can select.
then when you're dealing the cards out, press Y and there's a meter that comes up, you have to keep an arrow in the center of this meter using the left stick, or you get caught.
it's tough!

 

[TimR26]

You can buy the Elegant Suit from the tailor in Thieves Landing.

 

[JoeyD]

Yeah, that's the one. I'm sure...

Just checked now. Definately the Elegant suit.

 

[lanky]

Can anyone get to the top right area of the map yet?

 

[Plummer]

Can anyone get to the top right area of the map yet?

Does in multiplayer count.

 

[kev182cup]

im 4.5 hours in, got the stallion and just helped seth get the half of his map. just figured out how to use dead eye. lol i shot the man who threw his hat in the face instead of his hand. lol

 

[JoeyD]

Can anyone get to the top right area of the map yet?

That's where all the bears are i think.

I can't get at it, and i'm in Mexico - so i guess it's right at the end of the game...

 

[jamboyscott]

can anyone tell me on a side mission you have to help a boy whos mate is getting hung,how the hell do you get him down?i always scare the horse away tha he is sitting on lol

 

[kev182cup]

I never rescued him, f**k that I'm not there to wait hand and foot on them. So f**k if he gets hung it has no bearing on my game. Lol

[jamboyscott]

[RoryW]

I used dead eye to do the same for the macfarland tart and it worked a treat

 

[iain187]

i just ran to the macfarland bint and he cut her down, i only killed a few people then after the cutscene they all ran off /probably a bug

 

[BioHzrd]
