Ok, so I'm out riding to wherever, and some dude starts shooting at me. So I shoot him. Then I take an honor hit. What the heck? Why am I not allowed to defend myself?

Aiming at an 'honor loss target' can cause them to go hostile.

If you provoke someone who's not a gang member into shooting at you, you still can't kill them without losing honor. Unless it's an "accident", of course. The only problem is that in a town it's pretty much impossible to pick out who's a gang member and who's a civilian unless you're right up in their face. Sometimes not even then, since there are so many gangs in the game and they all pretty much look alike and they all have drab and muddy clothes on.

Accidentally shooting the sheriffs either chasing the shooting horse gangs, chasing an escapee on foot or executing the prisoner. I hate that poo poo.

Oh, been meaning to ask this. Is it possible (or has it happened to anyone) to skip levels of the sharpshooting challenges? I could have sworn I went from level 5 or 6 sharpshooter to level 9 when I shot a shitload (i.e. an entire mauser clip) of birds out of the air using deadeye. It was odd, but I never really thought much about it. Been meaning to ask if it happened to anyone else, but just remembered.

I look at the robber and the cops, and shoot the robber. But looking at the cops made them start shooting me, too. Sorry guys, my bad for looking around when bullet started flying around me. Is there any way to make stuff like this not behave retardedly? It's getting annoying trying to not break the law. So far I've been arrested for wandering through a door while trying to figure out how to make a deposit at the bank (apparently that was trespassing, even though the game didn't let you know in any way), and for looking at a cop. Am I just doing something wrong?

What do you mean by "looking at"? Were you aiming your gun at them? I've gotten into poo poo for pulling weapons out at the wrong time, and it will definitely happen if you aim at them. But if it's holstered they shouldn't do that...

The "Strike it Rich!" Challenge still hasn't been unlocked, right? According to their site it's "coming in late May" but I still haven't been able to start it in-game. Also, will some of the Social Challenges eventually expire and you won't be able to complete them anymore? Because if so I am definitely making those the first thing I do the next time I play. Beastmaster looks like the kind of Cheat that is going to be awesome for griefing the NPCs. The "hey mister, come sit a spell" campsite random encounter is going to be a hell of a lot of fun when I run off and grab a couple of my cougar "friends" and come back to tell juicy stories to my new cowboy acquaintances. Gee. I sure hope my friends can get along...

Finally got my 360 working again, and powered through the missions - what a great way to wrap up the whole game. Then I ground (using walkthroughs) the 100%, wrapped it up in just under 35 total game hours. Great length for a game, and now it's time to dick around in multiplayer throwing knives at everyone

The Beastmaster cheat is fun; first thing I did is volunteer to help a guy save his brother from being hanged. Focus on shooting the rope while my boar buddies gore the poo poo out of the gang? Don't mind if I do!

This makes me want to pull some Mowgli poo poo and just storm the streets of Armadillo with an army of wolves at my heels, then laugh maniacally as everyone in town is ripped apart. Also reliving Link to the Past with an army of chickens to attack gang members.

In advance, yes, I'm crazy behind the majority of goons: What difference does it make to capture Escuella alive? I was so tired of chasing people by that point I just took out the sniper rifle and popped him off his horse as he rode into the distance.

I've been thinking more about the ending (which seriously is amazing for a game, most endings are so bland I don't think about games at all once I'm done) now that I've finished the last stranger mission and killed Ross and his extended family (his wife was dropped off on a set of train tracks and his brother was knifed after 'death by wolves' didn't work out for me; my Jack's a bit hosed in the head). I think Rockstar missed the boat on an opportunity to have a solid DLC for Jack. I think a DLC with a true branching structure for a good or bad Jack depending on whether the player decided that Jack became like the old John and went for revenge or if he learned from John and tried to move on with a normal life. I see it like near the beginning, you decide Jack's path and if you choose the good normal life, you'd open up a bunch of ranching money making mini-games with ranch customization, etc and missions that are in line with the tone of the ending missions for John (hunting with family, dealing with some rustlers, etc). On the other path, Jack could abandon the ranch and open up mission sets about getting revenge on the agents, army, etc.

I'm pretty sure that some levels of Sharpshooter (and probably Level 8 of Master Hunter, just having a Bear Pelt in my inventory gave me credit for half as soon as I got it) remember what you've done previously. Shot off some hats? Three bears with one shot each? You can skip those levels as soon as you get there.

Seems a bunch of the developers who worked on RDR are getting canned. I can understand that they are probably bloated with staff but it still doesn't seem right. http://www.scorephoria.com/?p=5952 quote:Red Dead Redemption not only tore up sales charts for May but also received critical praise matched by few. Why then is the studio responsible for the success seeing layoffs and not pay raises?

Dunno what stranger mission you are missing, but the bed is Jack's bed, so make sure to save a game in your old house. The save point is actually his bed, and not his parents

Yeah, but giving Winnie the Pooh a migraine with a Dead-Eye Buffalo Rifle shot to the mid-brow is the most  thing to do.Though I have, for epic metal hilarity, managed to throwing knife kill a bear with a blade to the eyeball before. I didn't stop laughing in time to notice the other two bears which didn't find it funny at all.

So, this is probably the least manly question ever, but does anyone else ever have trouble actually surrendering to the law? I got a 5$ bounty for knocking some guy the gently caress out in Blackwater, and stood perfectly still with my weapons holstered as the popup said to do, but all that happened was some cop ran up and blasted me with a semi-auto shotgun. Does surrendering even work?

I don't think you can surrender in Blackwater honestly. I did in Armadillo twice (once by accident, once by just not giving a gently caress) but I still got shot a few times. I think they start blasting away with the big guns, and smoke your rear end right then and there. I just start shooting and hop on my horse, slap leather and hit the road in high places till I get somewhere like Armadillo to pay the bounty off.

Because the cops will start shooting immediately, surrendering works best if you flee to a sheltered area, like an alley or inside a building, then stand still with your weapons holstered. While the police are moving to good firing positions, Marsten should start raising his hands, which usually causes the police to stop shooting as long as you don't move. If you just stand still immediately after committing a crime you'll just get shot all to gently caress by Constable Bloodlust and his murderin' irons from five feet away. edit: I have been shot to death for smashing a guy's window. I went up against the wall and broke a shopkeeper's window with my elbow (you can do this by trying to aim through a window while covering, even if you have the fist selected), and the Sheriff standing directly beside me decided that shooting me in the head repeatedly at point-blank was a fine way to spend the afternoon.

It's fun to do this, and then as they run up you bust out the dead eye and shoot every last one of those fuckers in the head before jumping on your horse and riding off like whoa.

You're going to get it with "Vulcans never bluff.  " underneath it, I hope, right?Finally got Unnatural Selection for killing one of every species of animal or whatever it was for. Despite the description, it sure seems like it leaves out a lot of animals. I found that a fair majority of the animals I had slaughtered in game didn't even count toward the achievement. Though I also learned, in the process, that I have killed more than 400 deer and have played for over 200 hours despite only being about 76% of the way through the game. I guess I sure do love my cowboy game...

Yeah, this, and I'm pretty sure Shotguns don't count--I tried, and I kept not getting credit, I guess because each pellet counts at a shot or something. Personally, I'm a fan of Dead Eye + Sniper Rifle, just to make sure you hit just the right spot.
