Been through the desert on a horse (video game)

Anyone play Red Dead Redemption? My wife and love it. Allow me to clarify:

My wife (NOT A GAMER) likes playing Red Dead Redemption. She loves westerns, apparently. Almost 4 years of marriage and I never knew....

Anyway, if anyone does and can play online, look me up on XBL: DireTacoman

[RayvenQ]

I love it, the best part of the game is tha-*Cougar'd*

Heh, sadly I can't play online.

Hell, I don't like Westerns, they don't appeal to me, but I love the game, kinda wish there was more customisation and more to spend money on though.

I'm on my second or third play through now, it doesn't get old.

Also, knew what this topic was about before clicking on it

I'd post my favourite track from the game, but it'd kinda give things away.

[Nurian]

I don't think it can ever get old. I'm trying the challenges, but I keep having issues wi- *Cougar'd*

[RayvenQ]

On my second playthrough, all I have to do is complete the Treasure hunting challenge, which I wont even do halfway because then coaches are free (and coaches are one way to get rid of excess money) and besides that, the legend of the west outfit is mostly useless except for the dead eye, since its pretty much is the same as the Duster but with a different colour.

Later on, you really should be able to do more with your ranch and hell, even more with houses you buy.

[Nurian]

I think they could have done more with the ranch. You know, the more you do there, the better it will be and the LESS CRAPPY it will look

[ArcticChicken]

It's a recent release, guys, give them some more time to make DLC.

[Greenday]

Haven't seen or played this game. Red Dead Revolver was really fun to watch my roommate play though.

[ApolloSZ]

This is an awesome game. I'd say my favourite part but *cougar'd*

[Jack T. Chance]

I'll buy a copy eventually. My best friend's youngest brother works for Rockstar Games, and was a Mission Designer for this game!

[Nurian]

Tell him it's a great game, but there are too ma- *cougar'd*

[RayvenQ]

Is it just me though or are bears WAY more stealthy than cougars, they'e like ninjas, At least with cougars you get a split second, distinct audio warning. With bears you don't.

Also be warned about going to the Pig area marked on the ingame map, north of MacFarlanes Ranch, you will get attacked by a ton of cougars. I got hit by 5 pairs one after another, lost 3 damned horses that way.

What's hilarious: In Mexico, donning the poncho and riding a Mule for the duration of your stay

How far are you in the challenged Nurian, and in the game in general.

[Nurian]

Well, I hit a bit of a snag. I'm not good at fighting with the knife, so I'm stuck at shivving wolves. I have 2 more treasure maps to do and I haven't started others yet. I'm pacing myself.

As far as the story goes, I have completed it, but my wife saved over my game

[RayvenQ]

For wolves it's simple, face them, on foot, let them come at you and then when one gets close, swing like mad.

You think wolves are hard, oh ho, just you wait, a later challenge is to shiv TWO cougars and then, later on shiv a bear.

God, I see a caption on this...

Attacking a Bear With a Knife:
For when your death just won't be traumatic enough

[RayvenQ]

I went through like 4-5 Evans repeater shots before i even dared to try with my knife, even then took several swings. With cougars at least you can somewhat dodge them, but bears are way bigger and you simply can't, add to that the fact that sometimes bears hit you twice in one attack run sucks.

Most hilarious moment, I killed a guy who was holding a shotgun and in his death spasm's his gun went off...and hit me in the face and killed me.
