Red Dead Redemption

The cougars on the game are real basterds. Appear from nowhere. Also one hint if you want your fame up higher, when duelling, just aim for the shooting hand you'll get 100 fame instantly

 

My brother has it on the 360, Everytime i have a look at it he is riding along on a horse or in a carrige.

Sorry but if i wanted horse racing i would go to the races

I expect there is more to it though

 

If you watch someone play GTA, most the time they are driving cars.

 

yes, but driving at high speed on gta mowing down pedestrians then flipping it through the air like a fireball strewn pinata into parked cars causing a die hard rivalling chain of explosions, then stealing another car all the while the police are chasing you with the gorgeous fake new york backdrop has got to be more fun than riding a horse through a desert then being attacked by wild animals when you're not doing missions!

 

its ten times better than GTA i love GTA games but Red Dead walks all over them!!

 

TBH i didn't really get the last GTA, hardly played it.

 

well you're a fussy bugger then!

 

This is true. But its something different. Although I cannot play anymore, PS3 packed up again. Looks like I'm buying a Slim if I can fix mine

 

i've been thinking about getting a slim as well, they don't break do they?

'cos mine has got really fecking noisy, I don't think it's got another week left in it!

what's the differences Neilio?

 

For starters they are not backwards compatable, only 2 usb ports and they have bigger HDD.
Hardware wise they've got a new graphical processor and apparently 15% less in power consumption and a smaller heat-sink and cooling unit.

If I can repair mine. I just need to get one save off it then its getting reformatted and taken to game for a trade in

 

only 2 usb's, ghey!

I use all four of mine, i'd have to get a splitter!

 

What for? One for a controller, one for mic charger and what else? usb beer cooler?

 

yeah, 1 permanently to charge 2nd pad, microphone, and the other 2 have usb stick and 250gb external "entertainment" hdd

PS3 - not just a console, a ****ing lifestyle choice!

 

If I can fix it tonight, I'm trading it in.

 

does anyone else have issues with losing their upgraded weapons in single player?

purchased the auto shotgun a few hours later it had been replaced by the sawn off, my high power colt 45 was replaced with a six shooter, has happened to all my weapons at some point

I remember in GTA it would give you the option to swap guns when you walked over them but i dont recall seeing this option in RDR

 

you have to select them from your weapon wheel every weapon you pick up use in RDR you keep

 

Exactly, use the D pad to switch weapons. When you use the weapon radial wheel, you should see arrows on weapons that you have more than 1 of.

 

Thanks gents

that'll learn me not to read the instruction book

I'll use the six shooter for duels adds a bit of style to the proceedings

 

Damn I wish this was out for the PC, it sounds brilliant!

Having to console (no pun intended) myself with cracking on with the excellent Mass Effect 2 (so far)

 

I finished ME2 in about 1 week It is excellent. Better than ME.

Red Dead really is stupendous though.
