Just finished the game.

John Marston lives.

(I saved an old save game and will kick around with that. I like the idea that he got the peace he wanted) I'm going to hunt bears and cougars and pick flowers and go back to sleep in my own bed. I want to max out the scores and I'm beginning to hate "Faster you old nag!"

Also, I've been listening to a lot of Ennio Morricone while playing the multiplayer, anyone have any recommendations for other western style music like his?

The theme from the Magnificent Seven is the most AH HELL YES music to listen to while riding at high speed. I would think that Rodeo by Aaron Copland would work too (and if Rodeo sounds familiar, it was used in the "Beef, it's what's for dinner" commercials.)

Irish has a place in me heart.

He had some of the best voice acting in the game (sometimes bad accent and all) The speech he gave saying goodbye to Marston was really great. "You're a feck ugly man and an angry one, but a good man." (close approximation)

I maxed out on wolf pelts. I ran into what must have been a wolf spawning ground. I'd kill five, begin to skin them and before I got the second one done I'd hear more growling. I'd raise my gun, blast away and have multiple corpses of wolves roll to my feet for easy access.

The AI is different for different players / places. In Mexico they bet fearlessly and I won in Armadillo when I realized the last player was super cautious and fold every time if I bet high enough.

The best advice I've read came from wiki in the OP.

quote:

Stay in for early hands, never folding, but put in the minimum + the next highest option. This will keep money on the table and normally in rounds of high betting cause the enemy NPC to fold. Once you get a good hand put in roughly 1/2 of the pot to really amp up stakes without causing an instant fold. Once you have 2-3 times more cash than you started with you officially control the game. Fold on bad hands and keep bidding minimum +1 on all hands.

I tried out multiplayer for the first time since getting the game a few months ago. Got invited to join a posse, warped to the leader, he killed me 6 times while I was supposedly helping him with a gang hideout, and I quit.

I went right back to finishing up my 100% on singleplayer. I guess I regret getting the multiplayer DLC now.

Do you have an X Box or PS3?

Highest score on one of the new gang hideouts gets a rifle, which you lose when you die. If/when I get it I'll use it as the opening shots on a gang hideout.

Bobcats are fun as hell just because they're frustrating little bastards to hit.

A buddy and I could use some help tomorrow night. We've been trying to get the trophy for being most wanted for ten minutes and getting away. The problem isn't the lawmen, it's the idiots who decide to come over from the other side of the map to keep us from finishing this thing out.

If we could get enough people in on the posse we could kick everyone else who comes into the area (or server, if it's necessary for that) The plan is to get four people on the roof of the jail in MacFarland ranch and then rovers moving around on horse as needed / available.

My PSN is Darth Brooks, his is Blindrocket and the time is 7-7:30 pm central us. Everyone whose willing to do this is invited and we'll try and get the trophy for everyone involved if we can. If you have a mic it would help

Yes. It's happened once at Armadillo too. Creeped men out when it first happened and I was worried about my PS3 being fried.

I would like the sequel to feature Irish or Landon Ricketts. Actually, I would have like to seen Irish as the main character in Undead Nightmare. He's nervous/courageous enough to have an interesting reaction to being surrounded by zombie hordes. Hearing "fek, zombies" would be funnier than anything John Marston would say.

I would like to get a posse together again this Sunday night about 7 pm central. Two of the trophies are going through all the game hideouts in one session and going through Tesoro Azul and Nosalida without getting killed (at least I remember that being a trophy).

I figure with a large posse we could knock those out fast and maybe do some other stuff like races or co-op.

Oh yeah, those two dudes. I didn't really mind, I was playing mindlessly at that point and welcomed the distraction. We somehow ended up back in bounds anyways, we woulda had to go east for daaaays to get back up.
It was getting on time to do something else anyways. I wish I had a better camera/ better way to take screenshots.

I would love to do a large posse where we go through all the gang hideouts in one session. I also think it would be hilarious to get everyone in a US Marshall skin and pester random pubbies.

Jacada, Where are you in the story? (and you probably should put it under spoilers for latecomers)

___________________________

Also, Spitshine and myself were doing advanced co-op with a couple of pubbies who had a tendency to rush up and get shot up in a place that was to dangerous for rescue. I'd like to get a couple more 25+ level goons with mics for Tuesday or Thursday night where we can knock these out. Advanced is tough. The AI is sharper but you also have the advantage of using every weapon you've unlocked. Also, it's expert aim only, which makes it even more of an idiot trap. Tesora Azul is one that you really need to poke at carefully. They are fun, in part because of how challenging they are.

I'm playing through Red Dead Redemption single player again, not entirely by choice. I finished the game and started a game just to look at the beginning again. The next day my brother came over while I was at work. By the time I got home he had saved over my old save game.

I did the trick to get into New Elizabeth by being arrested north of MacFarlane ranch. After a ton of hunting I've got the Mauser, the Carcano rifle, the Evans repeater and the Explosive Rifle. That plus the American Standardbred means that I'm going through the main quest on a black horse blowing bad guys to kingdom come in way the could have never expected.

Had a blast tonight playing with PSN Goon Darth_Brooks on Friendly Free Roam. I call it 'kidnapping' because the target players have very little control over their character during it, but we were spending the entire time trampling people and jihad-dynamiting them over and over. Hilarious.

The funniest thing is kidnapping people that are within Hunting Grounds, because between Darth and I trampling them, and them being charged/attacked by the animals, it became this vicious cycle of tumbling rear end over head and dying over and over :haw:

I'm an rear end in a top hat, I know. Friendly Mode more like Griefing Mode :shepface:

I liked finding a stagecoach to run someone over with. I've lost my cool before being griefed so I want it to be as bizarre an experience as possible.
