I mostly love the whole poker thing but I swear that sometime I have a better hand but the computer AI doesn't recognize it or some such bullshit.

The computer definitely cheats at poker, I've seen the computer re-re-raise me or go all-in before the flop with terrible cards that just happen to hit on the river more times than I can count.

The dick move with this is (for me at least) you play through heaps of the game before they start giving you the escort missions, so the first couple that popped up copped a revolver round in the face. Definite dick move.

I just read something that said RDR sold 983 million copies. I don't think that sounds like it could possibly be remotely accurate. Could it be that they've sold 939 million dollars worth of games, even? Something seems not right.

I've always found that turning off the HUD in GTA games makes them more fun, especially GTA 4 with the wanted level system turned off so you have to just run until you don't hear cops anymore and even then you tend to lay low for a while. Turning off the radar and whatnot in RDR is arguably even more awesome cause you basically have to use your shadow/the time of day to figure out where the hell you're going

I've never even played Texas Hold'em until this game, and yet I managed to gradually win, bit by bit. There were moments when I was this close to losing, and I felt like giving up, but I kept at it. Towards the end I was making ridiculous bluffs just trying to lose all my money, but I pulled through eventually. It was pretty fun, and I'm starting to like Texas Hold'em more than... whatever it is that people play now. Oh, and it only took me two in-game days.  Well okay, for the last guy left at the table I quit and re-entered the game to reset his winnings (he was like 2000 in chips up on me... he had 3000 and I had maybe 1800). It still counted towards the scrap, though, and I technically busted every other player.

Two weeks after the NPD Group reported Red Dead Redemption was May's top game, the NPD Group reported that Red Dead Redemption was June's top game. Rockstar Games' critically praised open-world Western sold 582,900 units on the Xbox 360 and 380,300 units on the PlayStation 3, for a total of 963,200 units--down just over a half-million units from its overall haul the month before. The figure now makes it the best-selling game of 2010 to date, according to NPD. This bodes well for making RDR a new franchise. Thank god. Between the obvious GTA games, an upcoming Bully sequel, and new RDR games coming out at ~2 year intervals, Rockstar can look forward to a lot of my money.

It's my favorite Rockstar game, and I'm pretty sure the designers of Bully had a hand in RDR, because it has the same kind of feel to it in places. Shaun Lee's doing the soundtrack for the next Bully game too!

Especially when you're playing heads up, they loving CONSTANTLY get 2 pair or better. Every. loving. Hand. And it's nice that whenever you happen to land a good hand you bet 10 and they fold immediately. I usually stalk and stealth kill the cheating bastards after the game or unload 5 shotgun shells into his torso. Although it felt good to bust two assholes in high stakes when I dropped loving FOUR (4!) TENS (10!) on their asses. Although for whatever reason I enjoy playing poker in Mexico way more than I do anywhere else. Playing in Chuparosa, busting everyone, getting shitfaced and riding to Casa Magruda just to do it again is really loving awesome; while wearing the poncho of course.

I cleaned out all four of them in Blackwater. Took loving forever and I can't even remember if I bothered cheating. The last dude went all in on the last hand with his whopping $11 or whatever, I had a straight or three of a kind or something and he had like a 7 high. Then I shot him.

Well, I got to about page 70 of this thread, and I've almost beat this. Finally have to post my thanks for the guys turning me onto this great game. Fun Stuff I got super lucky with my Knife a Bear challenge. I was ridin out, mindin my own business when I see a large brown lump near one of the log cabins. Of course it's a bear, but it's actin kind of funny. I get closer and see that it's being attacked by a loving DOG. This brave little soldier is keeping the thing busy long enough for me to sneak up and stab it repeatedly. The coolness of this deed is of course multiplied by the fact that the dog closely resembles my childhood dog. Doing the "Love is the Opiate" Stranger mission (You have to get a White Horse for someone). I felt that the guy you have to get it for is a dick, so after I get him his horse and he doesn't disappear, or go riding off, I decide "gently caress him, and the horse I rode in on!" Pull out my shotgun and blast Mr. Ed right in the face. rear end in a top hat draws on me, fires once, and is immediately cut down by local law enforcement, who merely wave cheerily at me from the nearby rooftop. For anyone trying the 6 gun disarm, I got it at Twin Rocks, kept the gun out the entire time, took out the two rock snipers and slowly made my way up, alternately disarming and blasting bad guys. I thought I was screwed when I was down to the last guy, holding the daughter hostage, but the game glitched in my favor. She was face down, rear end up on the ground, and just peeking out around the corner was the rifle barrel. Dead-eye, goodbye. Great game so far, will likely try out some MP after I finish the SP. Will try to get on the metatag later if there is room GT: KhlamydiaKoala

Just finished the game earlier on. Someone spoiled the ending for me ages ago but I still thought the entire ending sequence was awesome. Probably the most compelling story that Rockstar have put in any of their open-world games, and along with Bully its one of their only games that I actually feel compelled to get 100% on.

That's one of the few Stranger missions I have left, and I really want to find that goddamned horse. I used to see people riding white horses all the time, but now the game seems to be loving with me, since I never see them anymore.

I camped and set a way point ahead of a moving train so I could get on it to do the legendary marksman challenge. I spawned and i hear the train chugging up around the bend, so I whistled my horse. It spawned on the other side of the tracks, started running towards me, and got loving gibbed by the train. I just stood there like  for a minute.

What's funny is that you don't even need a horse to get on the train. If you time it carefully, moving towards the train and pressing the jump button while a set of boarding stairs is right in front of you will sometimes cause you to hop safely on in a fit of unlikely physics.

I finished the game and it was absolutely fantastic. I want to erase my memory of having played that just so I can go and do it all over again. I would have gotten 100% completion on the game but gently caress FIVE loving FINGER loving FILET. gently caress it in the rear end. Worst idea ever to make that a requirement for one outfit and the completion of the whole game. I am great at all the other mini-games but having to smash a whole bunch of buttons in a row, fast and perfectly, like 6 times in a row, is loving asinine. Anyhow I did some multiplayer last weekend but I saw like a grand total of 5 people. I joined a posse for a few minutes but they were a couple of 12 year olds so I left. Are people still playing the multiplayer of this? It would be fun to find some goons doing this if anyone still is.

One of the best things to do for that particular scrap is to ride up on your horse and knock everyone out of the way except the guy in the chair. Then you just have to win two or three times. It is the hardest one, but it is much easier than beating everyone there.
