Red Dead Redemption

I got the bandana a while ago, yeah, but I've never used it for anything yet. I'm seen as an honourable mercenary to the people and I'm gonna keep it that way, unless I need it for a mission later on or something.

I used the bandanna to put a ho on the train tracks and then rob the train seeing as I already had it on but the bounty I incurred stuck with me so I don't see the point. Next playthrough I'll be an outlaw evading the po po on they neigh neigh.

How d'you go about robbing trains? Just shoot everyone and loot?

Yeah. Can't even rob them like a street pedestrian which is strange.

I am a baaaad man. Pretty much spend all my time and money gambling, until I run out of money. Then I go kill some civilian and his horse, loot the body, skin the horse so I can sell it, and hit the bar again. FML.

I'm well in the money now, got over 3k.

Have you tried being drunk yet? I managed about 4 steps, then passed out My fucking character didnt move for well over a minute underneath a bar table.

I was gonna say there's not enough duels but then I did some more mission with that LR guy (who's the best btw) and there was some fun dueling. German couldn't take a beaten like.

Anyway, I drank 4 glasses once and he stumbled back and then everything was fine, poop.

Nah keep going after that

free mode gang hideout missions are amazing.

Completed it. 8/10 game as far as single player goes, almost a 9.
Hate how Marsten looks after you've completed it and does anyone just kind of turn off open world game when they finish the story and are left to wander around afterwards?
Looking forwards to getting back online and playing some free roam though.

I'm like 25% complete after 7 hours... hmmmz!

You cant just wander round when you've finished the game?

I always do that. I can explore and run around for ages throughout the game but when I finish it I find so boring to just run around lol.

Finally finished this. On the whole this was a pretty magnificent game, an epic in every sense of the word. If anything lets it down it might be that the gameplay just isn't always fun enough to sustain 26 hours of play. Been playing it on and off for a few weeks.

This has gotta be one of the best written games ever though. So much dialogue, and so much of it its genuinely good. Even though they tried maybe a bit too hard to make Marston the wisest guy in the west. We get it, the guy understands, no need to make him God.

But the story as a whole is fantastic, the exploring addictive. Lovely graphics and the arrival in Mexico is amazing atmospherically. I want to see more games like this!

The story is what drags this game down along with repetitive mission structure.

You think? I agree on mission structure. Riding for 10 minutes at the start of every mission was a bore. But I thought the story had plenty of qualities. I especially liked how they never overdid the exposition and the character interaction was usually of very high standards.

I wasn't convinced by it at the start, but about half way through Mexico I saw how brilliant it was really. I thought the first half of the game was probably a 7, the latter half was a 9.

The pace was completely off. I thought the game was coming to a close towards the end of Mexico.

Funnily enough I did.
