Red Dead Redemption

[Sebastos]

That and actually winning at high-stakes poker are the things I plan to do after getting the 100% completion. How do you go about racking up that kind of bounty, Riddler? I was thinking of getting on top of a building in Blackwater or something and picking people off with my rifle. Seems like it'd be tough for the cops to get me up there.

I'm very good at poker. For fun, i've been using the Elegant Suit to win, I reached 2,000 chips but lost it all when I was caught cheating.

I finally won the poker game in Armadill to get the Walton's Gang outfit. Which I then used to get a bounty. It was fun walking into their camp, dead-eyeing everyone, and then hogtieing the bounty.

Man I have been loving this game, but I just ran into an issue. I decided to play the MP for the first time last night and things were going really well, until I went to DL the free Co-Op DLC. After it installed, I went back to play MP, but it froze at the very first loading screen. I tried 2 or 3 times and it kept freezing, so I deleted the game data and reinstalled the game and DLC. It still freezes. The worst part is that it also freezes at the loading screen when I try to boot up my single player game. I was pretty far to.

Has anyone had this issue or know someone els who has?

EDIT: I should mention I am using a 60gb PS3

I haven't really tried to figure out cheating yet. I only play poker to accomplish some goal (like a costume or achievements or whatever), and it seems to be pretty easy to bluff the AI anyway. I looked at my stats the other day and my poker stats were something like 1 or 2 for a handful of the hands that'll actually win you a poker match and then like 48 or 49 for bluffs.

So....I played a little bit today, I did a Bounty Hunter mission. I was in the little Mexican town can't remember the name. Anyways, I went a little ways away from the town and found the guy I was supposed to bring in. I took his boys out with the sniper rifle, that to include the guy I was after. I picked up the loot from his body and of course, his guys came after me, we got over by a cliff and one of his guys was coming at me full speed, I shot his horse in the head and it flung the guy off of the horse and over the cliff twice as fast........I died laughing. Just thought I would share that

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Heh, that sounds awesome. The funniest thing that ever happened to me with a bounty was also in Mexico. I killed the gang surrounding the bounty and decided to take him in alive, so I rushed up and shot him as he was backing away along the edge of a hill. I hit him in the leg and he just fell straight over and rolled down the hill. It was a big hill, so I was walking after him with my lasso out, chuckling to myself as he kept on tumbling end over end.

lol

Some guys tried to chase me, I cross the train track just before the train approached.....the other guy wasn't so lucky....neither was his horse. I just paused the game and said wow and laughed

 

[Spidey-Bat]

Playing poker in Blackwater took awhile to get used to. It seemed that it was really easy to get Straights whereas in Armadillo, you could get by with just aiming for two pair or three of a kind. I finally one by only playing 1 player. So much easier, too since the Chinese guys always raised the pot.

Also finished the requirements for all costumes I can get except the Army one (can't buy the scrap). And I finally killed 2 cougars with a knife to be able to buy the Buffalo Rifle and kill 3 bears. I hate how bears keep coming after you after you kill one.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, it seems like the game spawns more of whatever you just killed if you stay in that area for a bit. It's especially bad with bears. I've gone to collect the fur and literally right after John stands back up, there's 1 bear poised to knock him on his ass and 2 more charging in from a few yards away.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

Was anyone else pissed at the Bollard Twins' outfit? There's barely any difference between that and the Cowboy outfit.

I'm also disappointed there's no outfit that's modeled after The Man With No Name.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, the outfits aren't really that great overall. My favorite is the Duster Coat, but of course that outfit doesn't give you any actual benefits. The Legend of the West is okay but I'm not a fan of having the pants tucked into the boots. It bugs me that you can't wear a decent poncho with a hat, either. It's only the Mexican Poncho, which is ratty and full of holes, or the Reyes' Rebels outfit, which has a bandana instead of a hat.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

They should have offered customization to let you mix and match things. I don't like John's cowboy hat. The US Marshall uniform looks good but I don't want to play a lawman. Hopefully the Deadly Assassin one becomes DLC because that looks good and has a good bonus.

 

[Erzengel]

I wish I picked this up sooner, mostly because I've done all the single player and now I'm working on the multiplayer stuff. But getting to level 50 now that they did the update is just soooooo loooonnngg. I'm on level 16. I'm not getting any of the DLC except the Undead one.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

What did the update change? The only way to gain levels that I've seen without directly having to deal with other players (who are way, way higher than I am) is to raid gang hideouts. But even that kind of sucks because I have such s***ty gear.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

The MP has levels? Ugh. I can't get online at school so I don't know anything about it.

I hate how every MP game now has levels. It punishes those who don't get it Day 1 and play all the time. CoD4 has ruined multiplayer.

 

[StrainedEyes]

Until you unlock the Sniper Rifle in MP you will be underpowered against everyone who already has it. The early levels are kind of a pain.

 

[Soapy]

It's not like you get more health or something. Levels in Red Dead just unlock costumes and mounts and stuff like that.

Maybe before August?

Actually with the last DLC they did double points weekend. I hope they do another one for the next release.

You can get experience points with dealing with other players but you can also earn it on your own. You can earn it on your own. Just do the hideouts nets you experience points But I looked only and it said you can get 1,900 every time you beat Pike's Basin. At Level 16, I'd have to beat that hideout 163 times to get to Level 50. I'm going to wait for the Undead DLC and try and earn some points with my friend.

After kicking ass in single player, the worst part is starting multiplayer with a 6 shooter that barely let's show from a 100 yards, and your mount is a donkey. I was getting my ass kicked regularly. Then I just started doing hideouts and that helped.

You can gain levels by doing survival and hunting challenges too.

Good news for those of you who plan to spend this weekend playing Red Dead Redemption. Your deadly efforts will be rewarded handsomely for the next three days as Rockstar is holding its second double XP weekend for the hit western shooter.

The event is underway right now and will last through 11:59PM EST on Sunday, so if you’re looking to quickly jump a few XP levels, then get shooting. Just remember that when you see double XP, be sure to have two guns on you; one for each of them.
Be sure to check back later today for our verdict of the recently released Liars and Cheats DLC pack too.

[Brother Jack]

Nice.

 

[Poeman]

i bought the DLC and it is sooooooooo worth it, I love playing Liars and dice.

However there are some bugs in the game that need to be tweaked. I hate getting kicked out into free roam due to network connections issues during games.

You get a daily allowance of $200 dollars to gamble, I dont play poker but games are $10,$25, and $100 at thieves landing

 

[Trainwreck2100]

easy poker glitch to win the table (for those who still need it)is to duel the players till there's one player left at the table then push all in before the flop. The comp will usually call even with a bad hand.

 

[Erzengel]

Finally reached Level 50. Sucked that I grinded to 49 before this weekend and took me only 4 Pike Basins to reach 50.

Then I went and massacred everyone with my Buffalo rifle.

I don't have the energy to Level Up into Legend and do it again let alone 4 more times. I don't need that zebra mount.

I guess I'm done with the game until the Zombie DLC.

My friends and I created a new free roam gametype called "Manhunt." It requires at least three players and should be played in a non-public free roam server, and no posse's. The gametype is basically how it sounds, you are hunting your friend(s) but with a few interesting twists and tweaks. There are three roles players can take: The Hunter, Hunting Dog, and Prey. Each role has a specific loadout with their weapons and abilities. The Hunter has no HUD mini-map, and must do everything by line of sight. Expert targeting mode is on so he can't lock onto targets, and titles that appear above enemies heads are turned off. He can only use two weapons, the Springfield Rifle and Pump-action Shotgun. The Hunting Dog was created to help the Hunter track the Prey. The Dog is armed with the Bowie Knife and Throwing Knifes. The Hunting Dog's HUD mini-map is turned on, normal targeting is selected, but may not use the full map from the start menu. Lastly, the Prey, armed with only Cattleman Revolver, Throwing Knifes, and Bowie Knife. The Prey's HUD mini-map is turned on, normal targeting is on, and they may use the full map from the start menu.

As far as gameplay guidelines, The Hunter(s) work with their Hunting Dog(s) as they track and kill the elusive Prey through woodland areas. Everyone is on foot for the hunt, so no horses. Everyone can be killed by local wildlife when they are in their areas. The Hunter and Hunting Dog are at their strongest when attacking together, but rather at a disadvantage when separated. It is vital for both the Hunter and Hunting Dog to communicate and coordinate when stalking the Prey. The Prey can use the terrain, their minimap/weapons, environmental hazards such as animals to their advantage, but are mostly hiding and evading. They use their weapons mostly for defense but can also attack the Hunting Dog, or Hunter, when they are separated. Even though the Hunter and Dog are strongest together, both can be killed when closing in on the Prey.

The only thing we haven't worked out was how to keep a score, other than the actual score the game gives you. I suppose there could be a switch of roles when an amount of kills are reached. Another interesting problem is whether or not to hunt in populated areas or keep it in wilderness. The Prey can use the man made structures and civilians for some cover, but these areas are more wide open than a dense forrest. Forrests are great for hiding and ambushing, but have dangerous uneven terrain and vicious animals. If the Prey kills the Hunter or Hunting Dog enough times, he will have a most wanted level and marshals will join the hunt, leading the Hunter to the Prey. I called them my hunting party. Also, The Prey can give their position away when using their pistol with the trace of the bullets, flashes from the muzzle, smoke from the muzzle, and the noise; so using bladed weaponry on a lone Hunter is a good alternative. Have fun with this game type if you plan to use it.
