bitey posted:Okay, having played out single player pretty exhaustively, I've just started multiplayer. Your story is bullshit, no one on PS3 has a headset Here's my real solution if you can do it on PS3 though (I've never taken the time to look): mute everyone's headsets so you can't hear anyone unless you specifically want to. Works for me on Xbox. Never have to hear 12 year olds calling me a friend of the family unless I drat well choose to.

I've platinumed the game, and I'm on Legendary 3, yet I still find new poo poo all the time. Try shooting out the bulb on one of those hanging dish lamps in Thieve's Landing, especially at night. Also, the most helpful thing is you can take cover next to a window, and then with R2/Fire he will elbow the window to break it so you can then shoot out. Best game ever.

Reached the end section of the game, and wow. Loving it. RDR is so much better than GTA. The open world feels so much more right in this. End game spoilers: I'm with the family now, and while things are looking up, I get the sense that something rather tragic is coming. And I like these guys. The way they've told the backstory more fully at the end of the game, through actually meeting the characters that are central to John's reason to actually be in the situation at the beginning of the game, makes it even more interesting. Loving the sarcastic banter between John and ...Abigail? I think that's his wife's name, anyway. And hunting with Jack is just pure fun. Especially watching him having to do the 'skin animal' cutscene. Sir Spaniard fucked around with this message at 15:45 on Aug 25, 2010 |

How do you make a posse/meet up in the multiplayer? I'm almost totally done with the story ( ) and want to try it out. I played last night a bit but it was just me in there on my own. Also, how does one change their multi-character's appearance?

Amused Frog posted:For all the poo poo cougars get in this thread they're not as bad as bears. What makes cougars worse than bears is that they seem to be just about everywhere in the game. You could be minding your own business on the outskirts of Armadillo, or out in Mexico and still get a face full of cougar. The first time I ran into one I was doing that horse race at the very beginning of the game at McFarlane's Ranch, strayed off the trail then the next thing I know a cougar's rushing from out of a bush to welcome me to the wonderful world of Red Dead Cougar Country. At least with Bears they're confined to Tall Trees; you know where the fuzzy murder-tanks live and if you don't want any trouble you can just steer clear. Cougars on the other hand are hiding in the armoire of the property you just purchased for all you loving know.

Thanks, you are all excellent advisors. I think I’ve solved my dilemma. I found the headset from my old PS2 I used for “Manhunt” (don’t ask). It’s USB and works just fine on the PS3. In free roam I’m pretty sure I hear everybody else with sound attached. Most of them seem to be using room mics. I assume they can hear me too, but the mic I’m using is right next to my mouth. I rode up to a group just chatting it up. I kept quiet until one guy shot me. I said “Hey, why’d you do that? I’m just riding through here. Mind if I go by?” They all went silent. Crickets. I greeted the players individually. “How you doin? Are you enjoying the weather?” I heard some mumbled responses. I then reiterated my intent to pass through peacefully, wished them all well, and headed down the trail. I heard a woman say “Whoa, that was weird.”

For all the hate that bears get, I actually had one help me on a bounty one time. I was after some jerk in Tall Trees, and naturally John, in his infinite god damned wisdom waits until I sneak up to the first guy and yells out "COME ON OUT YA SON OF A BITCH". 18 people open fire on me. Well, not everyone was a good shot apparently, and next thing I know I am hiding behind a big loving rock, and a bear runs PAST me, and beats the poo poo out of everyone in that little group, and as the survivors all run away, goes after ANOTHER group of em near a rock. All I had to do was walk up and get the proof of the bounty, hop on my horse and ride boldly ride. I tipped my hat to the bear and slapped leather. No way in hell was I gonna hang around while he eats everyone and decides that my horse needs to be dessert. The weirdest damned NPC encounter I had was WAAAAYYYYY up in the top corner of the map. I was just riding around, and came across 2 guys beating the poo poo out of each other in the woods near a stream. I was probably a good 20 min horse ride from any sort of town, and these guys are just whaling on each other like crazy. One gets knocked down, the other kicks him and starts to walk off, and the bastard GETS UP and pushes him into the river. Kills him dead as a hammer and just starts walking back to the top section of the map like there was something there. Well, there was, and it was a cougar. He didn't make it, but I still tipped my hat to him as he was running away cause, hell, he saved me from a cougar ambush. Even if he is a cold blooded murderer that was a nice thing to do

Does anyone know how to roll in quick succession in multiplayer? When I roll it's about one roll every 2 seconds, if not longer. There was a guy in a gang match that was rolling 2-3 times in a row. I'm hoping there is a legit way and he wasn't using a glitch or something.

Man, I'm starting to get back into multiplayer and it's great, but the Wild West is a lonely, lonely place. I have a hard time enough time finding anyone who uses their headset at all, much less anyone who feels like talking rather than just shooting me in the face. Christ, even when I find someone who wants to cooperate for a higher goal, and can clearly hear me, they say nothing. Is there a setting I'm missing or something?

There's matchmaking for the other game modes, so that's not a problem though, as you don't really have to talk to or cooperate with those people past simple objectives. If you're on 360 I believe there's a Goon metatag for this game still...HighPlainsGoons, was it? Also if you're on 360 I'd be down to play sometime after this weekend, as I'm not going to have my internet hooked up in my new place till then (leeching of a neighbors unsecured wireless right now, which isn't fast enough for games).

And I love Manhunt, especially since the think-of-the-children people hate it so much. I was only embarrassed to admit that I purchased the headset for that particular game... and you can't even play Manhunt online. I got it because I didn't want to hear the narrator's voice all the time. With the headphone, the voice is isolated and doesn't come through the speakers. Actually wearing the headset didn't help Manhunt much. I'd sneeze or something and then watch my guy get beat to death by six thugs with baseball bats. I'll start adding y'all when I figure out how to do it. Don't know when I'll be playing RDR next. edit: My PSN handle is fandrewsorama.

If it wasn't already known that i'm a nerd, from now on it will be. But I ordered some of those Red Dead Redemption playing cards and dice from the Rockstar store about 2 weeks after I started playing. They ended up running out of stock and had to cancel my order. Turns out that they didn't cancel my order and instead randomly bill me and send me my order 3 months later. Pissed me off because it came out of nowhere and I didn't really want the items anymore. I ended up keeping the cards and a set of dice because it turns out that they are pretty awesome. But I sent the rest back and they still aren't reimbursing me for the money. Just wondering if it happened to anyone else, because I imagine a lot of orders were canceled.

I heard this game had some issues on PS3 while I was shopping for it, but this is just ridiculous. I can't play more than ten minutes before a hard freeze (with music in the back) hits me. It sucks because I feel like I'd really like the game IF I COULD loving PLAY IT. Was a fix for this ever released? Edit: It seems to freeze specifically when trying to load Hennigan's Stead, but it was also freezing before.

As posted earlier I had one sort of freeze late in the game, but it sorted out. I think my PS3 was too hot. They must have fixed it, because aside from the once, I've not had issues. I bought the game a week ago. Multiplayer is fun when you're actually playing with someone else and not being killed by douchebags. At least I managed to kill him back once. And whoever it was I was playing with (Had a bomb avatar), I got that Co-op pack now. Is the 'Legends and Killers' pack worth the cost?
