Is there a way to skip the "loot body" and "skin animal" animations? Sometimes when I do these the game doesn't bother showing the animation. Not sure if that's a glitch or not. It's not a huge problem, but when you're trying to clean up after a battle and have to watch John bend over 45 times it gets a little lame.

This game pretty much shattered my expectations. I knew it would be good, but not this good. I've been playing for 36 hours, have completed almost all of the missions, but I still have so much to do, and I see no signs of quitting. The last game I played for this long without getting bored was Demon's Souls, and before that, Fallout 3. Rockstar really delivered with this game. Still haven't been able to figure out my first treasure map, though. That poo poo is vague as gently caress. And I haven't even played multiplayer yet! I definitely need to get on that...

After playing some gang matches online I have to say they are really fun but it is totally bogus that they force you to play as some random person in the preset team gang and not as the character you chose in the outfitter. I don't want to be some scraggly rebelde, I want to be Dirty Dan drat it.

A picture of a noose, a noose on a tree with a big rock right next to it. Hangman's Rock, north of Armadillo. The second picture is the place from a different perspective.

The second picture is the place from a different perspective. This is what really confused me at first. The little "I." and "II." are both referring to the same area, with the latter being a zoomed-in, detailed view of what you need to be looking for. When I first tried to make sense of the map, I thought the treasure was hidden in the nearby rocks surrounding the actual Hanging Rock.

Public Free Roam is loving terrible with a small group. Such a stupid design oversight on griefers it's borderline amateur. This guy keeps killing you over and over again? Lets have you spawn with him at the same spot! It's stupid and when no one else gives a poo poo about vote kicking the guy, you're stuck with a 2/3 vote kick and because the stupid menu disappears when you respawn, you only have a few seconds to leave. Moral of the story, don't loving bother with public free roam unless your posse is the majority, so you can kick the retards out of the game before they become a nuisance. You'll always always run into a 12-year-old being an immature shmuck.

If there isn't room for the animation to happen then it skips it. This can happen if the body is right up against a rock or something but the reliable way to do it is using your horse, as was said.

So I just realized how perfect the song at the end after you kill Ross is. You're staring down the sights of a dead man's gun as you kill Ross since it was John's gun.

What a perfect design decision, in my opinion, to (post game spoilers) make you think that you've finally achieved "redemption" for John by making him slog through this immense quest for the only authority with the power to really stop him, to finally be reunited with his family, then the law betrays him. No wonder then that most people end up playing Jack like a complete loving rear end in a top hat. I know that I dredged up the Bureau age nt's old ladyand murdered her in a way most foul, and I think tonight Armadillo might feel my wrath. I just wish Jack's voiceover could have been better. I really don't care for laws no mo'

I could go on forever about the game's glitches, flaws, and ways that would've improved it. It doesn't mean that I'm not in love with the game, it just means I'm a nerd who thinks too hard about stupid things.

The ending couple hours of this game is simply phenomenal, and felt like Rockstar San Diego really did some game design/storytelling magic to make a memorable and seamlessly integrated videogame playing experience out of a great resolution to the story. They set an example for other videogame developers intent on making classic experiences through videogames comparable to films or books. Great, accomplished stuff that stands heads over heals over anything GTA or most open world games attempt to reach when providing narrative consistency and thematic cohesion into the games own design. ENDGAME SPOILERS: Living his dream life in peace for a few days/weeks, bonding with his family, training his son, and the eventual leap in a generation I thought was some really great stuff. Yes herding cattle isn't as great as gunning down waves of Indians but I thought it accomplished its goal of putting you in Marston's life with a sense of dread over the inevitability of "justice." And the switch from John's grave to his adult son.. wow. Not even Mass Effect 2 pulled me in like that in a dramatic, compelling way. What a great game.

Got caught cheating in poker, challenged to a duel. Using the High Power I fire seven rounds into his head and the last one at his gun as it sits uselessly on the ground. "Yep, I'm a Marston"

"Let me tell you the story of John Marston, the lone gunman who traveled across the land, fighting for his wife and child. He defeated armies, toppled governments and killed a dozen bears with just a knife..." So, inspired by the "Prove me wrong" thread in cinema discusso, I came up with the theory that the story of Red Dead Redemption is actually a collection of rumours, tales and legends about John that have been told and re-told, growing more fantastical each time. This explains why John can take down entire armies, everyone needs his help and he is everywhere and why his character is kind of inconsistant. Also explains the filler missions and redundant dialogue- the writer of the story (who just collect all the stories into one book) used every story, no matter how inconsequential or unrelated and tried to make a novel out of it. (end game spoilers) bonus theory! the writer / story collector is Jack, who based his story off his actually much less exciting father's life. John actually lives a happy life and dies of old age. The post-game content is the sequel story where Jack wrote himself in as a Gary-Stu. Made more sense in my head I guess...

The first time I shot a dude in the head I was in dead eye. I SWORE I saw the bullet seemingly glance off his skull and shear off most of the left side of his scalp. After the fight, I went to examine the body. It was true, and made me feel really gross about violence for the rest of the game. Effective.
