Red Dead Redemption - anyone playing ?

[Batman]

How the hell do you fools manage to kill so many horses? I've had one die on me so far, I've got my Arabian hoss and he is going strong, the cunt has been pumped full of lead many a time.

I'm going to stick it on and have an hour or two of it now I reckon

I got the white wild Arabian the a gator got it by the swamp. I quickly turned the PS4 off before it auto saved and I’d lost it. Started it again and I’ve still got it.

That is brilliant I’m up shits creek right now. Had I done that my lot would be much better

I won't buy another horse. You don't need an expensive horse anyway half way through. It's a needless luxury like a sports car that gets left on the railway lines by a bunch of yobs. Pre-insurance days of course.

[Batman]

I've hitched my hoss and I'll not be playing again for a while, I've had good fun on it but I've definitely sunk too many hours into the game now, time to get back on the books

Yeh seems you definitely have to play in timely rotations . Back on after a couple days off and just arrived at Saint denis and new chapter. All I'm saying is..wow..the animations and attention to detail with very early downtown New Orleans replica. The cemetery! Game gets very tricky on horseback there and is hell to navigate at night without bumping into countless people from every direction. The variety in environment from cobblestone, back alleys to even the slang is very impressive.

It is very nice indeed. One of the things I like about a really well constructed game is just how deep they can go in terms of character development. You cannot get that with a two hour film. You can in a book of course, so in a way a great game is a bit like a book in terms of detail, but like a film in terms of making it look and feel right. I can see why Batman would be enjoying this.

Where I am in the story it has become really very gripping and to think it started so inauspiciously. Now it all makes sense and that the entire thing is meant to be a huge experience that keeps you tied in for a very long time. It literally becomes the world that you live in.

It is great. Also very interesting how things that you do have an effect later on. I killed a bloke for his debts. Didn't really mean to, but I did and his wife has become a down and out hooker and obviously I feel very bad about that. There is so much depth to it all.

Damn I got two killed in one day.

Ok kinda po'd. You really do have to pay attention to 'load out' and weapons wheel before you ride into a mission and the cut scene takes over. Anyway finally did the tobacco burn mission for the grabby old rich lady and somehow 'misplaced' my awesome horse . I ride up to mansion, the cut scene takes over and the Irish fella and I ride off in a wagon..my horse still standing there not following wagon like usual. Finish mission, escape and all of the sudden I have some speckled horse with my gear on it AND the huge horse we freed to get away following me. I've checked 5 stables..road around whistling like a fool for half an hour and went back to old grabby gals mansion but original horse no where to be found. He definitely was not killed, not stolen etc. But alas..my kill proof Tacos has disappeared . Not cool game, not cool at all!


* spoiler...…..the Driscol escape mission was bad ass. Was really hoping it would leave all his stuff gone and force him to 'rough it' scavenger style all the way back to camp. Very eerie that one.
