Red Dead Redemption

Even with the x's not automatic I managed to shoot my horse when I shat myself with a bear charging at me 2m away lol

Wow thats why trading games is a flinging rip off. You traded close to 200 pounds worth of games, if not more for 40 bucks.

I have never traded a game in my life, and now I have a fantastic collection of games. Well over 30 ps3 games.

Yeah EB is such a rip off when you trade in. I'm unlike you and only like a small handful of the best games.. I only got $35 when I traded Madden 10 and UFC 2009 in... but I didn't play them anymore so I may as well have.

My collection is about 5 games..

NBA 2K10
UFC Undisputed 2010
GTA IV
GTA Episodes From Liberty City
Red Dead Redemption

Back on topic though..

Great game!

I was on my horse and tried to shoot a coyote.. accidently head shot my prize stallion! :laugh

I just killed a man with my lasoo. He was attacking a woman with a knife so I tried to lasoo him, it hit him, then he staggered a few metres, then dropped dead.

lmao owned. I was on my horse once and lassoed a guy, then rode around with him dragging behind. After a minute or so it comes up with "-50 honour". I was like fffuuuuuuuuuuuu hahaha

Also, if you have someone hog tied, crouch over them, grab your knife and kill them. It cuts to a scene (like when you skin an animal) and you slit their throat. Pretty cool.

Also (again), a funny moment, I saw a guy riding his horse then suddenly jumping off and running towards me so it seemed. I stopped and got ready to attack him, but instead he runs right past me and to the side of the road. I follow him and see he's taking a piss on a rock lmao

Mine didn't cut to a scene but if I crouched near the hogtied guy and used my knife it still slit their throat. I'm up to A Frenchman, A Welshman, and an Irishman. btw, what's with all the cannibals?

I'll have to try that dragging around someone lasooed!

:laugh

I reckon i'll get this game from TheHut if the price stays the same

 

[mattfb]

I did the slitting the throat a while ago so didn't really remember if it was a full cut scene. It's a little different from a normal kill though isn't it? And yeah, Irish is a cool character haha. I liked his missions. Cannibals ftw xD

It's fun lassooing and dragging them. I tried it with a boar but it was too big and fat and I could only go around in circles with it

Also the sniper that you eventually get is great fun to use. I'll shoot at someone, bolt off to a decent distance, pull out my sniper rifle and snipe them What annoys me is that I might be shooting at birds or animals, and someone will think I'm shooting at them and start firing at me. So I'll kill them, then get a bounty. Pretty fail.

Just a heads up to anyone who hasn't sold much animal skin - Wolf heart/skin etc sells really well. Make sure you skin every wolf you kill.

Yeah get it mad, it's great

@Biggy: What are you, PS3 or XBox 360?

I'm almost to the end I'm pretty sure. So far have basically only been doing main missions so once I've done that then I'll get going on challenges and side missions. I reckon I'll also play the story later on again as a bad guy.

 

[cricketking10]

I didnt actually get too bad a deal considering how much I would have been ripped off at game. Also I didn't pay full price for any of the games I traded, ufc 09 was 30, need for speed 25, madden 19.99 and fight night was 22.
Yes, i've technically made a loss, but at the end of the day i'm going to uni in september, so there is no benefit to me keeping games i don't play on currently, plus when I go to uni I won't play on them either. Better to get rid of old games i don't play to get a new one that I will play.

Now, back on topic............

 

[pcfan123]

so when the red xs are not automatic what is the button on ps3 to use them? their still automatic for me , but im at early stages still. just met the guy who was digging in graves.

 

[Manly]

When they aren't auto, you 'tag' the places you want to shoot by hitting R1. Then when you are happy hit R2.

 

[pcfan123]

Sweet thanks Ben, cant wait to try it out now, although I only use DE when Im almost dead. Otherwise its just too easy. I killed about 5 wolves with 7 rounds :laugh

 

[Manly]

I am having a break away from missions, just hunting. Emptied a Repeater on 2 birds using DE, 5 on each.

I also find myself cheating at Poker just to get a duel. I destroy people at duels...

 

[shravi]

Just sell your games on amazon. I sold AC09 (PS3) for US$48.
