Red Dead Redemption - anyone playing ?

[Alpha]

A quick tip for some of the newer players. Draw and holster your weapon by tapping L1. Once to draw, then again to holster.

Didn’t know the l1 thing or the r2 x 3 thing.

That’s my fault for playing as a nice guy and avoiding shootouts

Cheers

Yea at the beginning I was using the wheel to select my fist, L1 to holster its much easier.

First duel I had the other guy fell down drunk, so I just looted him.

I managed to get a couple of perfect rabbit pelts, need to craft arrows that won't damage the pelt. Wish I knew that before I murdered 100s of rabbits.

Thanks for that Alpha. I've been using the cluster rt-lf wheel and somehow ended up eating crackers while getting shot up. One touch much better. On the plus side my guy learned how to 'drift a horse and get an entire town to shame him as he rides by for no reason what so ever. Why are so many people just asking for a gunfight. One bad thing is riding your horse named Tacos too far into the camp and he gets 'stuck' in a tent so you cannot lasso, lead or ride out.

Drift a horse??

My horse is called Jim Bowen.

I tried to call it Twat but the game doesn't allow

[Mark TKO]

and why is no one asking me for a gun fight ??

Or use the varmint rifle

For the bigger animals lasso then and just walk over and slit their throat, perfect pelts every time

I've gotten carriages stuck and can't go backwards.

I shot someone in the town in error. I then had to go on a shooting spree becoming a serial killer. My horse got killed, got a new one but I can’t find camp. I feel bad about all the townspeople I shot. Now everyone is after me

You played drunk didn't you . The 'rob' option should be harder to accidently hit in town.

Few take away pros and cons just a couple days in. Haven't even scratched it yet.
1. You really do bond with your horse . Praise them, and the dags, constantly. Tons of moves to pick up
2. Like the wanted and evade and how it works. Better hide your bodies
3. It's beyond massive and so far unpredictable. Great sound too.
4. Gunfights are none hand held and simple as are the approach options. None of that auto reload or huge reticle stuff. They changed 'deadeye' but works well.

1. The wheel. You will literally find yourself looking at the buttons pulling 2,3 'hold-let go' at same time. Maybe I just haven't worked out the kinks.
2. It is dark! I like the real time night day and the fact there were no street lamps then but..unless there's a moon it seems very hard to navigate in the bush.
3. The early cut scenes and that first sleep inducing wagon ride
4. The whole core thing so far.
