Just started playing this game, and one of the first things I did was to shove some smarmy dude in a top hat off of a cliff for talking in riddles. Hopefully murdering a Stranger doesn't permanently lock me out of 100% completion  I've been having a blast just shoving people around until they try to punch me, then climbing tall ladders when they chase me and having mini Mortal Kombat fights up on exposed platforms where I try to punch people into open space. It's also fun to get into the front car of the train and shove the conductor around, since doing so causes him to wig the gently caress out and teleport around. Best thing I've done so far was to bump into a guy, get angry when he was rude to me, tie him up, and leave him in the middle of a pack of wolves. I don't understand how anyone can do any of the storyline missions; I always get sidetracked with the sheer amount of rear end in a top hat freedom the game gives me.

I don't have this game on me at the moment, but does it support system link? I'm hoping to get my own TV and Xbox in a few months and I wanna play some free roam with my roommate. That'd work, right?Angry Diplomat posted:Just started playing this game, and one of the first things I did was to shove some smarmy dude in a top hat off of a cliff for talking in riddles.

For the second time I saw a stagecoach at the side of the road and a woman standing out front with some obvious dirtbags a few paces behind, waiting to rob me. The first time I killed all the crooks, captured the woman and left her on the train tracks. After all she tried to get me killed! Yesterday I saw the same set up and capped all the bad guys, hopped off my horse to lasso the woman and noticed that instead of running this time she just knelt there. I tied her up and tossed her on my horse, just to see how long I could ride around with her. When I decided to drop her off at the convent I noticed that the onscreen prompt said "carry victim." Victim? Oh poo poo. Are there two types of roadside ambushes, one where the woman is complicit and one where she's forced to lure Marston in? I was glad that I shelved my plan to douse her with bait and leave her for the wolves.

It says "victim" no matter who you hogtie. There actually are two versions of that encounter, though. One is the bandit ambush, and another one where she actually does need a ride into town.

the truth posted:Why... would you do that? That's actually the best thing, considering who the stranger turns out to be. Also, I'm pretty sure that if you kill a stranger they respawn after a few days of gametime. I killed the pimp in that one mission because, well, he was a scumbag, and the mission reappeared on my map shortly after. Unless the mission specifically calls for you to kill the mission giver, or they die in the normal course of the mission, they usually just respawn later.

I killed that racist, opium smuggling gently caress down in Chuparosa with the added benefit of keeping his $1,000 and looting another $200 from his corpse. I can't imagine there's anyone who plays this that would let him live.

I shoved the "I Know You" guy of the cliff. He nailed a rock on the way down and went pinballing all the way to the bottom. What's awesome is that it doesn't even contradict the rest of that plotline

I just ran into a cow there was clipping in to the ground and holding it's head in a weird manner. Imagine my surprise when I attack it with the knife and it clucks, lets out a cloud of feathers and blood and dies.

I love this game. Same. And with the rear end who wanted a white horse, I gave it to him, then immediately shot him off, and have been using it myself for the last 24 real-time gaming hours.

That definitely fit in well with the ending!

I was already done with Single Player and Lvl 45 or so before I ever got the Diez Coronas Hold Your Own match which was incredible, and I haven't gotten it again since. Then last night sitting at Lvl 50, we got a Grab The Bag in Twin Rocks all over the hills, which I had never played. Are there any other gang matches that hardly show up? I wish there was a way to select a game, because the Diez Coronas one was the poo poo.

Which I guess makes sense, but to treat a stranger like that... Oh, and (please don't read this if you haven't completed the Strange Man quest. Seriously, don't come whinin' to me if you ruin it for yourself): Someone earlier said that we're supposed to assume the Stranger is "God", but I didn't get that impression at all. If anything, the Stranger is the Devil. I figured that was made pretty clear in the end. He might as well have just opened his first conversation with John like "Please allow me to introduce myself..." That might've been slightly less subtle.

So I was finishing up the Daedalus and Son stranger mission and after delivering all the feathers, beaver, and sage he needed and waiting the requisite couple days I watch the cutscene and he suffers death by falling like a moron. I'm looking down at his dead body and the remains of his dumb machine. Then I look up, and in the distance, there are two men flying through the air flapping their arms like wings, flying like birds.

The funniest bug, imo, is when you're playing poker and your opponents all turn into ultra blocky low-res models. It's the ultimate, pokerface. The Chinese fella at the low-stakes table in Blackwater, especially, looks absolutely hilarious.

I was about to kill that bastard but I composed myself and walked on. Edit: VV Yeah, well, in most cases that's true. But in this case I got burned, and if I recall the other two players both bet insurance. I think they were in on it... bastards. King Vidiot fucked around with this message at 23:27 on Jun 21, 2010 |

Anyone else messed with the color sliders to get a certain look? Lately I've been playing with Contrast set to 0 and Saturation all the way up. Makes it look technicolor, like a true western

When I challenged someone to flower picking, some wolves were actually in the area. I had to run back to his camp with a pack of wolves right behind me. He wasn't that much of a sore loser so we murdered all of the wolves, and he got like two rattlesnakes. So the moral of the story is, if you've skipped the flower collecting events because you think it's too "sissy" you aren't a real cowboy.

I think Rockstar should've ditched the tired "Grizzled man looking for the men who wronged him" plot and instead completely focused on the treasure hunting. The game looks great and has some awesome atmosphere, but looking for treasure was the only aspect of the gameplay I actually found to be "fun", instead of just "acceptable way to move the story forward". I'd love it if someone would make a game that completely focused on treasure hunting and puzzle solving. There would be a huge area explore like in this game, littered with treasure. Some would be easy to find, only demanding that you'd be capable of reading a map, while some treasure maps would have puzzles for you to solve! The possibilities for variations of maps/puzzles are almost limitless. There'd even be multiplayer, both co-op and PVP. In PVP every player/team would get perhaps three treasure maps, and the first to get all three would win!

To anyone who hasn't seen it, here's the opening credits sequence from Red Dead Revolver: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORxEAmWqbVE Nothing else in the game was quite as amazing as the opening credits, but then it's a hard act to follow. They had Ennio Morricone (or something very, very Morricone-esque) music, the Wild Bunch blood-red freeze frame and even film grain (which they kept up through the whole game). Everything was deeply saturated, too. Oh, and notice "Annie Stoakes" and her very strong resemblance to a certain character from Redemption. I know they were both loosely based on Annie Oakley, but Ms. Stoakes and Ms. MacFarlane bear more than a passing resemblance, they're almost identical. Nice little nod there to the original.

So I got my first full posse together today and we started causing a ruckus in El Presidio. Ten minutes in three of us are wanted and what seemed like the entire Mexican army was bearing down on us. Cue two other posses showing up and the whole place was a giant meat grinder. Eventually as things started to calm down I was able to escape with my life intact, however some lone level 50 guy on a bull decided he wanted my blood and chased me across Mexico. I ran all the way to Escalera and holed up in the mansion. Then it all concluded with him running in and ending us both with a stick of dynamite. Multiplayer owns. Need goons. PSN: McShurto

Obsurveyor posted:I wish you could go back and get the tutorial messages again without starting a new game. I got confused because I thought it told me I could bid a higher number of the same die or bid a higher die(i.e. one 1 could be outbid by one 6). No one else seemed to pick up on this, and me saying this is probably going to open up the Liar's Dice talk again, but you CAN outbid by using a higher die. The example you cited yourself is correct. 1 die showing 1 will be outbid by 1 die showing 2, 1 die showing 2 will be outbid by 1 die showing 3, etc. etc. 1 die showing 6 will be outbid by 2 die showing 1's.

Tewratomeh posted:To anyone who hasn't seen it, here's the opening credits sequence from Red Dead Revolver: I think only one song was actually by Ennio Morricone (Main Titles from 'E Per Tetto Un Cielo Di Stelle' - it plays when you're defending Annie's ranch) The rest are tracks from other spaghetti-westerns by many different composers. I can't post this enough: http://www.myspace.com/ostofreddead Revolver had a lot of great set pieces though. Fighting the band of sideshow freaks as Jack Swift, riding on horseback after Diego's armored train, fighting through the ghost town and then confronting the undertaker with the gatling gun in his coffin, defending the train to Brimstone from horseback bandits, the saloon fight, etc. I really missed these kinds of things from Redemption, since they're trying to build a believable world in this game and the most actiony thing they could really come up with is giving you a mounted gun to mow down some guys on horses now and then. e: All these parts were made awesome by the music they set to them, too. Redemption only has a few ambient tracks and a few action tracks, and it's pretty disappointing. e2: Obsurveyor posted:Once the count for the number of dice goes up, no amount of down with any sticks or d-pad will lower it for me after changing it to a higher die. You know, I heard the rules are different in America and Mexico. In real life there's a poo poo-ton of different rule sets for the game. They might actually allow you to lower dice in America but not in Mexico. That's what my roommate said, anyway! Bloodcider fucked around with this message at 01:13 on Jun 22, 2010 |
