The past week i have been playing Hardcore Gang matches and using expert aiming exclusively. There is nothing in video gaming(aside from the gears2 two piece) that is more satisfying than getting a kill in this game without autoaim.


So which Metatag are people using nowadays? Is anyone down for hardcore matches?

My friends list is always full because I have a large group I play CoD with. But if you send me a message I'll clear a spot for you so we can do some Hardcore Gang Shootouts. gt: fennesz

And yeah, I think I have a grand total of 1 kill using anything but expert-aim. It's satisfying as hell when you pull off full gallop headshots on multiple pursuing persons. You also have to ration your Dead Eye way more in SP, I mostly use it for orienting myself towards enemies when I'm on horseback.

I shove the piano player off his stool in the Blackwater Saloon whenever I can. Most of the time he just runs off in terror immediately afterwards, yet once in a while he'll just snap and come at me fists flying. I'm nice as pie to everyone else in the saloon and I even feel bad accidentally knocking the broom out of the old cleaner woman's hands, but something about that piano player brings out my inner jerk.

No, not at all. Bureau outfit looks and fits quite well AFAIK. I remember you (assuming it was you) mentioning that the other day, and I was curious to see how it turns out for me when I got it. I don't see any issues with mine (?) Can you maybe take a picture (cell phone?) of the issue and post it? I'm curious.

Have you looked elsewhere online about it?

The piano player's the dude in the blue suede suit and top hat, right? Motherfuckin Kurt Lauterback. He's the one I always see there. And it just so happens that he's also the son of a bitch that cheats at Blackwater Hotel poker too. In fact he's my goddamn arch nemesis at Blackwater Hotel poker. I bet you subconsciously knew what an rear end in a top hat he was, that's why you give him poo poo. At least, that's why I shove Kurt out of his piano/poker seat and then stab him in the guts with a throwing knife every chance I get.

I've killed him so many times.

Him and his twin brothers.

So many times.

I... I've lost track of how many I've killed.

But they're there... everytime... everyday...

...no matter how many times... i kill them...

I have a question about after you finish the main storyline.

Do you hear John Marston speaking to Jack from the grave? I took a bounty in Nekoti Rock and I was waiting for the lead dude to wander towards me so I could ventilate his head. I'm crouched behind a rock for a few minutes when I hear this faint voice that I could have sworn was John Marston going "poo poo or get off the pot, boy!" I looked around, but didn't see anyone nearby, so I don't know what the gently caress.

Freaked me right the gently caress out.

I'm not even lying when I tell you i've had the same thing happen. It was months ago, back when I was still playing, but I remember hearing the same thing. I can't confirm it's actually happening or if we are just crazy, but I have heard it.

Well I do know a couple goons haven't completed the single player campaign, but I don't know that they read this thread and if they do then screw 'em. This game should've been a day one purchase as there was nothing in the original trailers or reviews to suggest it would be anything other than awesome.

Adding in spoiler tags isn't much work and there are still people who will come into this thread having only just picked up the game. It barely affects our discussion but saves them potentially having the plot ruined.

Word. Some people have crippling gaming addictions and may have spent all their cash on other games before RDR. Although it is not a decision I agree with, I don't think they should be punished because we're too lazy to throw in the odd spoiler tag. Besides, I don't want people getting lazy with spoilers when Undead Nightmare comes out, as I won't have a chance to have a crack at it until after Halloween.

Also the piano player in Blackwater always gets a piece of my ire because of his fancy hat. gently caress that guy and his hat.

You're in for a treat pardner. One word of advice; unless you're absolutely abysmal at shooters use Expert Aim. It's fun as hell when you pull off shots and you can pretty much whore Dead Eye whenever you get in a sticky situation anyway.

Bloodcider
Jun 19, 2009
Yeah. Normal aim is fine for multiplayer since you don't have a slow motion button and NPC are dead accurate, but blowing holes into dudes with Expert is so goddamn satisfying.

Every time I walk into the saloon I stop to shoot all 3-7 of them. Nobody will mess with you/cops don't care because they're gang members, just don't threaten anyone and put your gun away real fast. So awesome just dropping them all before they can even react to pull their guns out.

Fair enough. Spoilers aren't a big deal anyway, haha. Us oldtimers just griping, that's all. Congratz on picking up Red Dead Redemption, it's a helluva game. If you find you're enjoying yourself, be sure to pick up the paid DLC, and OBVIOUSLY get yourself the two free DLC packs too. Trust me. I'd like to play some MP with you when you're up for it, as I'm getting back into the game and haven't checked out ANY of the MP aspects of the DLCs (I ground out 50x2 levels back in vanilla MP before anything new had come out), so we can explore it together if you want, partner :clint:

Pulling my pistol in a duel, disarming a guy and then blowing both his knees out is a real treat, considering my honour is currently capped. I like to think, the way I'm playing, Marsten is a good guy deep down but takes absolutely no poo poo from anyone. The penalty to poo poo-talking is permanent, crippling injury.

The new X-Box.com is kinda wacky, I tried searching your name so I could shoot you a message and it instantly sent a Friend Request instead. In any case, I should be on at some point tonight to play around in Free Roam a bit and practice expert aim some more. Doing hideouts has been good for that, as well as getting XP to level up.

I was messing around with Herbert Moon earlier. I fired a few shots in the air and ran him out of town. By the time we got to the cliffs outside Armadillo I "accidently" shot him in the spine. After about five minutes of trying to crawl back to Armadillo he shouted "I'M HERBERT MOOOOOOOOOONNNNN!.... AND THIS.... IS MY....SHOP" and then he died.

Goddammit Moon, you may be an anti-semite but you know how to make a man depressed. :(

There's a lag in posting the stats, but I can't imagine why it would register the 100% and not the 20 bounties. It'll probably be correct in a day or so.

Just leveled up to 50, mainly by "hunting" cougars in a private session. Really cheesy. I don't particularly feel like doing the whole thing over again five times, so I guess I'm done with the game until Tuesday...
