WaM made the last OP, and I used most of that, but the quoting was making everything tiny.

The game is set in 1908; it focuses around a former outlaw, John Marston, who is sent across the troubled American Frontiers to help in bringing the rule of law. It was revealed in the trailer that Marston has come to kill or capture his former gang partner Bill Williamson. Along the way Marston moves through more Territories including to assisting rebel soldier Abraham Raias into a Revolution against the Mexican Army in 1910.

The game will use open world gameplay similar to the Grand Theft Auto series with sandbox environments and a free-roaming ability. The environments will include frontier towns, prairies, and mountain passes. Realistic horses created with the Euphoria animation engine will play a major part of the game's transport. The game will also feature over 40 different types of animals that can be hunted, realistic weather changes (including seasons) and the ability to ride trains to travel to certain places faster. These animals include: Horses, Mules, cows, bison, bears, mountain lions, deer, dogs, coyotes, wolves, rabbits, armadillos, snakes, vultures, ducks, chickens, and more yet to be discovered.

Dueling

dueling

Evil Multifarious wrote: »

if my favourite animal were turned into a terrifying murderbeast by a video game, i would be pretty entertained

also people who wonder how duels work:

LT draws your gun immediately
Tilting your right stick moves your hand closer to the gun and might make the other guy draw first (making him less accurate)
If he draws first, the screen will say DRAW and you should hit LT to get your gun out

At this point, you have to move your reticle to where you want to shoot, mark those locations (up to the number of bullets you have) with RT and, if you pick the right locations, fill up your bar in the bottom right before the enemy does.

The reticle will pulse - when it's small and white is the most accurate time to hit RT and put a mark on. When it's red, it's less accurate.

If you drew first, you'll be less accurate, so each mark will fill up the meter a bit less.

More vital areas fill up the meter more quickly. You can also be dramatic and shoot the guy's gun or hat to instantly fill the meter, leaving them alive, or go for a one-shot kill to the head or (rumored) heart.

Okay, seriously, what's up with the fucking dueling?

Yeah, I really don't get it either. The first two I was smooth as fuck and was able to shoot guns out of people's hands. Apparently, I had no fucking clue what I was doing. I just got into a duel... I saw the DRAW!!! pop up and my dude just sat there as I started mashing buttons.

What is the correct sequence for dueling that doesn't involve voodoo?

As soon as the "Draw!" pops up, wait a split second then hold L2(or xbox equiv which I guess would be LT) The painter pops up starting near his feet. Paint what you want with R2(RT) but I think there's some sort of weird priority rock/paper/scissors system for what you pick. I usually just go for the arm/hand before the enemy's "cast bar" fills and that ends the duel instantly. One time I painted the arm and just to be a dick, painted the other 7 shots on the dude's head. So not only did I disarm him, I got the pleasure of watching his face explode immediately after.

Cheats, when which guns are unlocked, etc

Next time someone wants to play multiplayer with me and I tell them that I am still new to the game, having everyone focus-fire on me every time I spawn is not a good way to encourage me to continue to play.

Were you in a posse at the time

Whenever I'm in a posse anytime some random dude comes up the rest of the posse destroys him

CrackedLens

so do you get something for haveing all the gold at once or can i just sell it as i get it?

GRMike

I sold mine... but that isn't a very good answer to your question.

You get to leave the island.

Wait, crossing threads again, shit.

Probably best to sell when you have higher fame and honor, to get the best selling price. But it looks like they aren't story-important

The Lovely Bastard

hey doggies why I ain't on the list of ps3 red dead people

thedivankopile is my ps3

we should posse up sometime this weekend

Endomatic

I am thinking of getting an arcade and slapping my old HDD on there. That's perfectly fine I assume, yeah?

My old one didn't RRoD, but the video card conked out, and the fan is so loud/grindy that I get headaches after playing for like 15 minutes. I just need a box I think. Then I can play this wonderful game that you all talk about.

bongi

Can you please add me to the OP list

my thingybob is bongitrs

Hunter

So apparently the other day Bongi invited me to multiplayer, but it was my brother-in-law playing so he wasn't sure of the invite. I told him "it's someone from the forum I go to...he's a cool guy if you want to multiplayer".

So his response is "he's not some weirdo foreigner or gay" to which I respond "yes and yes, but it's not like he's going to fuck you in the ass and then serve you tea and biscuits via the intertrons so who cares if he's English or gay". I guess he ignored your invite then.

My bro-in-law is OK people, but damn is he a fucking homophobic. My guess is he wants a hot cock so bad he can't even tempt himself to be near a homosexual.

Endomatic

That conversation is hilarious when I imagine it.

Actually you're wrong I actually can fuck him in the ass and serve him tea and biscuits
It's an exploit

TankHammer

Pull a "Police Academy" on him. Trick him so that he ends up going into a gay bar one night without warning him and let nature take its course.

It would also help if you weren't incredibly quiet so we could actually hear you.

Yeah you can do this. I did this with my latest incarnation.

Just completed the main story.

Man those government guys are dicks.

Fun shoot-out though

I wish you could draw your weapon or at least fisticuffs when you are staggering around drunk

I want to start a drunken brawl

Stale

add me on this,

CrackedLens

i need to quit dicking around and get my new 360 hooked up to the net

DouglasDanger

I just bought the semi-auto pistol and the semi-auto shotgun at Escalera.

I felt pretty awful burning those houses with De Santa. It is a Rockstar game, so I imagine you will eventually side with the rebels rather than Army, but man I felt pretty bad. Army dudes are all rounding women for their leader. Geez.

bongi, is that ps3 or 360?

Step 1. drink

Step 2. punch somebody

GRMike

I just pick somebody out, and punch them.

I got like 8 or so hours into the game and I ain't even got a lasso

Yeah, I stood there a while hoping the guy would get angry and I wouldn't have to do it. Then I shot him and failed the mission.

So I did it and then when I was done I shot the guy in the back as he strutted away

I drank so much John was stumbling about and falling on his ass

It was funny, but I couldn't pick a fight

END GAME

How do you feel about Jack? And have you done his special Stranger mission?

GRMike

Oh hey, in the Poppycock side mission in Mexico

Did you shoot the guy as soon as you found out he was a drug dealer? I know I did. I pocketed that cashola.

(Honestly when I found out it was $1000 I was going to shoot him no matter what it was I was delivering.

man

i am just reading this thread and drooling

i might just rent it and get it out of my system

Orik, with your trades how many dollars are you away from owning this game?

It's addictive. I had most of last week off of work and all of my friends were out of town over the weekend. I put 40 hours into the game over 6 days.

Can you even open the package beforehand? I never bothered looking, as honestly I forgot about it all together until that purple ? flashed

I ended up renting it because everytime I logged onto Live 80% of my friends were playing it and it was driving me insane.

SoaL

I liked Seth's retort when Marston ragged on him looting dead bodies. knocked me off my high horse


Whenever I come across the dude taking the rings 'n things from the dead lady in the wilderness I am like

the irony would kill me if I shot him for that and then looted his corpse

Metzger Meister

this game is rad.

Raijin Quickfoot

Everytime I have an awesome horse it gets killed by a cougar. I don't even see the fucker until my horse is dead most of the time.

It's only happened twice but it sucks.

GRMike

Nothing is more frightening than to be skinning an animal and while the skinning animation is on the screen seeing a cougar ready to pounce over your shoulder.

CorporateLogo

At least the cougar is polite enough to wait until you're finished

I played some random multi this weekend and took down some bandit camps and then someone tried to turn traitor but i burned him down 2 or 3 times and then he left me alone. Good times.
