Red Dead Redemption - anyone playing ?

Don't know anything about magnifico.

Am actually just trying hunting for a legendary animal this morning - if you fuck it up you have to camp for 72 hours before the fucker comes back.

Again like everything else - time consuming.

i use auto lock when on horseback (impossible to shoot anything otherwise) but not when on foot in gunfights - hard

I didn't realize there was anything but auto lock. Been working on weapon upgrades and walked into some 'mystery' with mutilated bodies under some train trestle.

And it's finally happened..caught myself talking to dogs at work like the player does his horse. Complete with the Southern drawl..'that's my bwoooy you're alright bwoooy' . Ok too much information.

Yea I never use the manual aim.

Haven't done anything with magnifico.

I have manged to fully complete 2 challenges, bandit and the horse one. Getting there on a few others. Still rolling with one bounty over $1,300.00. F-ckers always try to ambush me when I'm picking herbs, then need to get back to my horse and try to escape. They're not taking me alive! Not sure how many of my horses have been killed in my escapes

I'm a little past the helping Mary and her father.

Taking a little break, as some have said, lots of time consuming stuff and you can spend a couple of hours doing basically nothing.

I found Auto aim a bit too easy so switched to manual which is awkward and getting me killed a lot.

Might switch back I guess no point taking any longer to finish this than I need to

Getting the hang of crafting, camp upgrades etc. Ammo manufacturing is where it's at. Learned to turn off auto save and keep the bounties in check but I have yet to rob a single person. The whole hunting 'perfect' hides for leather work seems near impossible though and one thing that gets you is the 'wounding' of animals. Hit's you in the feels . Is there a way in dead eye to pick your 'X'? Seems like once you paint a target it aims at first spot it touches and different from first game.

I’ve not even done any crafting or ammo manufacturing. Seems a bit dull.

I been in London a few days so not played for a while. Think my last save I was hunting a legendary coyote but no sign of the twat.

Hollow points and incendiary slugs come in real handy when things get up close . Went for the coyote too..in some dried out lake bed area?..but ended up chasing down a jailed Lolita and freeing her from the coppers.

I never paint in dead eye, just head shots, then aim at next target, into dead eye target head again, repeat.

Yea perfect skins are hard, you can lasso bigger things and these use the O to kill it, generally gives perfect skins.

Once you get a bounty somewhere, try to complete as many bandit challenges as you can in that area, instead of getting bounties all over the place.

I might be doing it the hard way then, usually I hit dead eye and still have to aim and hope to X head first. It doesn't go auto. No idea about the lasso but makes sense.
