Red Dead Redemption...

This is the greatest sandbox game of all time.


I was riding on the roof of the train engine, just goofing off (that's all I have done in this game once I got the lasso). I had yet to kill a boar, and happened to see one as the train was cruising through. I jump off the train, roll, and shoot it right in the head. Hilarious if you could have seen it. All that for a stupid pig.


Another strange thing: I see a stranger being attacked by a group of coyotes (I am sure you have all seen this). I start shooting them as fast as I can. There are still like 3 left, and they have her knocked to the ground and are all over her. In my rush to save her, I miss the coyotes and hit her square in the face... Oops.

And the fun one can have thinking of horrible things to do with lassoed victims...
 
I just played this game with my brother in law. We didn't do online or anything just kind of free roamed. Played it for about an hour and a half and we had a lot of fun. We primarily just messed around lassoing people up.

Has anyone gotten drunk at the bar yet? It's really funny to watch the guy stumble around.
 
So, where do you get the best horse? Besides buying them, I mean.

I am having a hard time telling the difference, but I assume the brown and painted ones are not that good since they are so common. I have captured this one type of horse on the far western part of the game world twice that is mostly a light yellowish color, with a white main and tail that turns to black about half-way down. I think it may be one of the better horses, but I keep dying/it dying before I get a chance to take it back somewhere and save it.

I find that in cougar country, you can't stand still.
 
i'd say it's worth a buy if you've got extra coin to spend, but you're probably not going to get the best experience out of it online unless you have some friends to roam around with. it's still pretty fun to go and explore "lone wolf" style, but i think there's alot more to offer when you have a group to ride with. i only gave it a rental, but i'm a few hours in so far and have been pretty impressed. there's alot to do in the campaign and what little i've played with the multiplayer has been fun as well. if you're still skeptical do some research. i think it's gotten a 9.5 rating on gamespot currently.

game's gotten the following ratings:

1UP.com : A
Computer and Video Games: 9.5/10
Edge: 9/10
G4: 5 stars
Game Informer: 9.8/10
GamePro: 5 stars
Gamespot: 9.5
GameSpy: 5 stars
GamesTM: 9/10
GameTrailers: 9.5
IGN: 9.7/10

and so far it's holding up a 97% on Gamerankings and a 95/100 on Metacritic

I found that the very dark brown/almost black ones are fastest, I got one off of a stagecoach i robbed, after i crashed the stage he was hanging around. Bastard could fly.

I kept borrowing Smokeys horse last night and it'll fly...not sure what it is...but I need to go in there and upgrade from that lil donkey ive got :eek:lol:
 
Look at my horse
My horse is amazing
Give it a lick,
"Ooo, it tastes just like raisins!"

Have a stroke of its mane
It turns into a plane,
And then it turns back again
When you tug on its winkie!

"Ooo, that's dirty!"
Do you think so?
Well, I better not show you
Where the lemonade is made!

Sweet lemonade,
mmmm, sweet lemonade
Sweet lemonade,
Yeah, sweet lemonade

Get on my horse,
I'll take you around the universe
And all the other places too!

I think you'll find
that the universe, pretty much
covers everything!

Shut up woman, get on my horse!

The one I have right now is a very dark brown with almost a black back and hindquarters. It looks black from a distance. Is that the one?

If so, I seriously don't see a huge amount of differences between the horses.

I just wish that I was able to get the warhorse code from best buy. From what I am hearing, that horse is that shiznit
