Red Dead Redemption

[Gav the Mighty]

Best Game ever im not even gonna try an find words to do it justice.

The Scenary and whole wild west world is just Beautiful and a much welcomed alternative to the Hustle n Bustle of GTA.. The Inclusion of wildlife is a great touch also.
The Game itself is very easy but who cares ..its all about collecting and free Roaming.


Going back to hustle n bustle ...How great would a Judge Dredd game be if Rockstar did it ??

cruising round the Crime Filled city on lawmaster and other various futuristic machines , missions in the cursed earth ...mutants , various criminals , Fatty Blocks.

i always use dead eye and aim for the noggin.

[Satanist]

Met my first bear last night and can confirm deadeye + noggin combo works a treat.

[Darren Stephens]

Ive yet to meet a bear, but I got mugged by a couger the other night. Just as I was getting off my horse...BAM!..Of course, I shot it and skinned the bugger. 

[Devons Daddy]

Was live, some Yankee teen kept killing me as we approaching the gang hideouts, he did it five times!! I got lucky respawned behind him and beat him to death with fists. Felt s mo good, spent next twenty minutes seating him out and taking out the long barrel with scope. He left the arena.  I was very satified with the payback. Little scrott.

[mogzilla]

me 'n darren  had a similar experience we cleared out a settlement and moseyed past a couple of players who waited and shot us in the back! gits... if you want to do that shit go and join a gang shootout not pissing folk off in free roam.

cougars are worse than bears and always travel in packs of three ! i kill the beasties then wait for the others to show before any skinning or they can get you mid skin and theres f. all you can do!

Killing a Grizzly with a knife:not as hard as one would think.

[Pete Wells]

Yeah, I softened the grizzly up with my pistol first then knifed him to get the achievement.  I still can't disarm six blokes without reloading though, and that's all I need to become a legend of the west - grrrr!

Make sure to shout 'Boot Knife' as you do it. Adds to the fun.

I got my 'Dastardly' cheevo last night too that was fun.

The only tip I could give, use the Rifle with ten shots, (or a weapon with more) Dead Aim his hand off. That's all I can think of.

[amberkraken]

using the normal rifle even with dead eye didn't kill it! WTF? ended up using the sniper rifle. that was powerful enough.
Completed it yesterday (noy all the challenges though.
[spoiler]Man that was a brutal ending! I'll replay it at some point and do ll the challenges earlier as I don't like Jack as much.[/spoiler]
Though replay will wait a while, as my house mate got me just cause 2. Hadn't heard of it but looks pretty mental.

Don't normally sell on ebay but if anyone loves RDR so much they want a swish deck of Red Dead playing cards I've got a set on ebay at the moment:

True true. Epic ending, memorable, really worked for me.

Very cool game all around, even better than Red Dead Revolver, which was a lot of fun at the time.

I was very surprised by what those cards went for, which I guess goes to show how into the game people are. I'm eyeballing the rest of my R* merch now and wondering what it would get, although I'd be sad to get rid of any of it. Shopping for a flat with the missus though and the buying/moving will be easier with more money/less tat!
