Red Dead Redemption - anyone playing ?

[walrus]

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.

Oh snap I wanted to go to the wheel but drew on someone and fired. Completely sober but I did get the dude drunk on whiskey. It’s funny the screen gets wobbly. I gotta get used to all these buttons. Too many commands and things to push. Once a week playing makes me forget everything. I need to quit my job and housework so I can get good at this.

So I spent all day on this fucker yesterday and seemed to get nowhere.

I use free aim which is hard sometimes in gunfights and dead eye runs out in seconds.

I finished one mission then stayed to loot the camp and before I knew it the law surrounded me and I was a goner. The horse I bonded with also died so I’m back to square one there with Tennessee walker who is shite.

I go to where legendary animals are and it says there’s too much activity in the area.

And I’ve activated all these side missions and got nowhere with any of them. Anyone else got treasure maps ? Can’t work out where anywhere fucking is from the shitty drawings.

And crafting can fuck right off.

I will keep going on the main story

Haven't found any treasure yet, haven't really started to look tho.

With dead eye, I aim, then go into dead eye, this brings you into dead eye targeting your enemy. Headshot, this will bring you out of dead eye, then aim again quickly and then go back into dead eye. Hope that made sense. Seems to last a bit longer that way.

The wheel to use tonics and that is not very user friendly. Is there no way to quick equip these to the directional buttons?

[Mark TKO]

Yeah the wheel with r1 and l1 hold and release is poor . Almost like a game in itself to get the fucking thing to work

How often do you find yourself sitting on your horse just randomly looking in every direction for who is screaming-shooting-and or yelling for you . There are many times when chasing or following someone you'll have to stop, hit map, zoom and get bearings then back out and resume. Haven't found it but a quick tap map view is very much needed. And apparently looting a body in town is a federal crime that brings out the posse even though you didn't raise a finger to kill them.


Also didn't realize there was a 1st person option. And carcasses don't keep for long at all on your horse. Still haven't lost my horse even though had to run for miles to get more reviver and go back .
