Love this game, but I totally would have taken the option to radically turn down the number of bad guys if it had been offered.
Not that it's too hard. They do a really good job at making the combat fun and John's a bad ass. But the sheer number of mans you are required to kill on a given mission always feels twice as high as it needs to be -- for me, at least.
Yeah, it's a little excessive sometimes.
Except for the missions where it's totally appropriate to be killing that many people, like the
I'm hoping for some kind of Roarings 20s/Great Depression thing involving Jack. O Brother Where Art Thou, mixed with Bonnie and Clyde with the desperation of the Grapes of Wrath.
That gives them until Saturday, I guess. There hasn't been any further official news about it. I cannot wait for the co-op stuff. I guess I should play some multi so I can unlock more stuff. Characters, guns, some horse instead of the burro, etc

It's rockstar it's a safe bet there won't be a sequel. Maybe a game where you run into a young John Marston in a mission. B ut not a sequel.
If they don't make one of the epic mounts a car I'll be mad. Riding around with your posse in a model T would be epic

I kinda hope that they will add more mounts, such as woman mount (From Family Guy) Coconut Mount (From the Holy Grail) and Cougar Mount. Oh, and Sean Connery Dragon mount.
A game with Jack in the 20s? That'd be like a cross between RDR and GTA.
The storytelling opportunities would be fantastic, but I think the gameplay will start to suffer.
I also don't think rockstar would be interested in making a direct sequel relating to the same characters of a previous game. They just don't do it. Sure, there are nods and cameos here and there, but never any development.
Apparently we're getting content through the rest of the year for RDR, so with luck we'll see full expansions like Liberty City Stories. I'm still loving this world and I want as much as I can get of it. I will buy whatever DLC they put out, day one.

Had my first near-death experience with a cougar the other day, it came out of nowhere and took out my horse, then nearly killed me with a second swipe
But I blew his throat out the back of his ass
Then not 5 minutes later, a fucking battalion of bears comes charging out of the woods, I am not kidding when I say it was about a baker's dozen of these fuckers, and I'm on foot
I killed them all with my rifle, and, breathing heavily, started towards the nearest town to re-outfit myself with a horse (I don't just whistle for a new one)
As soon as I turned around another fucking bear is right behind me, swipes me down and kills me while I'm prone
Nothing should be able to kill me and me not be able to do anything about it
Launched me off a hill, then it took me about a year to decide I could get up again, at which point it attacked me before I'd even stood up.
Losing me the racoon and skunk parts of that master hunter challenge

I found bears are worse than cougars. Cougars hit me once then circle giving me a chance to draw a gun and go dead eye. Bears know me down with one hit then by the time I can stand up they hit me again so no chance.

I find that bears sneak up on me less. The only time they're scarier than cougars is when they decide they'll never stop spawning.
One'll go down and I'll hear a RAWR behind me, ending up with 6-7 dead at the end, sweaty palms, and 2-3 less chewing tobacco than I started with.
The thing about bears is sometimes their breathing sounds exactly the same as my horse and as soon as I realize oh man I'm not even NEAR my horse, I'm down for the count.
So I have this little problem. Yesterday while playing one of the side missions in Mexico
(Poppy Cock) or something like that, where you help some general fight off some rebels.
Anyways, during the gun fight I jumped off my horse Russell (the chamaigne colored one you get earlier on) to hide behind a rock to get into the fight. After the fight was over I whistled for Russell again but then I had to dismount to pick up one of the rare flowers for my journal quest.
Now here's the strange part. I whistle for Russell again, and some OTHER horse shows up. I run away from the imposter and try again. Same fucking horse shows up! Has this happened to anyone else? Did Russell get killed off screen without me knowing it or is it a glitch in the game. I never saw him get shot and I didn't ride him into battle only close to it. This really pissed me off because I was trying to get the 20 mission Achivemnet plus I had grown quite fond of him.
Needless to say, after the mission was over and I got back to town, the imposter had a short talk with my 12 gauge shotgun and his hair was donated to some lucky lady who needed a weave. R.I.P Russell if you didn't make it.

Yeah, your horse got killed offscreen at some point.
At one point I was walking through this ravine with very high cliffs, and I whistled for my horse. My map showed my horse coming in rapidly from the side, up and out of the ravine. Naturally, it just keeps going and falls to its death directly in front of me.
Well, that's the freeroam challenge for shooting off someone's hat while riding done. Fucking thing. Apparently you have to be going a certain speed in order for it to count.
The next one is to kill three different types of animal in ten seconds. Anywhere that's good for this? I'm thinking Tall Trees.

Well, here's how I did it. Find a bird flying over head, get a horse you don't give a shit about, and then find a ground critter walking near by which can be almost anywhere. Pop all three of them, bamn you're done.

I got mine by the river in Tall Trees. The lower road that runs right along it (on the North bank). Also in bearclaw camp (or whatever it is called).

Or use bait while birds are overhead. It seems animals of all types become active from bait in some areas.
