I remember the first time I went to Armadillo and wanted to play some Poker but had no money, so I decided to pull out my knife and kill the guys playing, but one of them ran away then the cops started chasing me...

After that I became Wanted until like 1000$ bounty where I died in the middle of nowhere while running away with my horse companion.

Ah, it was fun.

I've found an excellent way to get the challenges for shooting people's hat/disarming without reloading. Course, it does take some luck, but I got a bounty once, and the con was in a small valley type area, where I could shoot all the men with a sniper rifle from far away. Dead eye + awesome accuracy of sniper = easy challenge. Gotta hope I get such a bounty again so I can try to get the Marksman challenge for disarming 5 or 6 people without changing weapon.

Killing packs of wolves with the knife was pretty fun.

Those shits are everywhere I swear. See one then suddenly you've killed 20 of them and there's another pack spawning nearby.

The treasure map I have right now is Farking impossible. I don't even know where it starts from.

Omg there is so much to do in the game, I have barely time to follow the storyline between killing anything on four legs and dragging escaped prisoners after my Cisco horse (Dances with wolves anyone?). Over 16 hours of playing and I just made it to Mexico.
That Irish guy is so funny. OvO

On a side note, I updated the gamertag list on SRF, shall I add the RDR icon for you guys? Might be handy for the multiplayer thing and the posses and stuff, though I haven't checked it out yet, but I wasn't sure whether or not you were okay with that.

Would be nice Ru ^^ And yeah...Went to play yesterday, first 2 hours I didn't even do a bit of the main story line xD Only doing the strangers quests/hunting animals/sub quests and poker a bit and shit haha...Damn this game is so fun.

My xbox got stuck yesterday though ._.

hmmm is this worth getting?

MrJoey · **Posted:** Mon May 24, 2010 11:21 am

That's fine ru, even though I don't really play online, I might be willing to if someone invites me.
@andycooly You have to ask? This is a potential Game of the Year.

andycooly · **Posted:** Mon May 24, 2010 11:24 am

so its a must get? (i like free roaming games)
like can u just go on rampages through the town and stuff?

MrJoey · **Posted:** Mon May 24, 2010 11:25 am

If that's your style, then yes you can. Me, I semi-roleplay the game and am always helping the innocent and such. Gonna have to go on a rampage sometime to get the Trophy for getting a huge bounty then using a pardon to get out of it.

andycooly · **Posted:** Mon May 24, 2010 11:29 am

big map? also in live multiplayer can i see my friends ingame?

Miguez · **Joined:** Nov 2008 **Posts:** 5003 **Location:**

Yeah you can go on rampage but there's really no point. Eventually you'll die :|

And what do you mean see your friends?

andycooly · **Posted:** Mon May 24, 2010 11:31 am

like i heard people complain about getting spawn killed online does this mean i can go on rampages with friends over live?

Miguez · **Joined:** Nov 2008 **Posts:** 5003 **Location:**

Well when you join multiplayer you go into Free-Roam automactically, where I think it's the regular world but with other people roaming around. you can create gangs with the people who are playing to hunt down gangs or animals or just go and kill people.

So yeah I think you can invite your friends to your free-roam session, create a gang (posse ingame) and just run around in your horses killing other players or npcs. And you can all get wanted and have authorities chasing you... Damn, it sounds fun :o

andycooly · **Posted:** Mon May 24, 2010 11:37 am

okay i think i might buy it

MrJoey · **Posted:** Mon May 24, 2010 1:13 pm

So like, the guys at the low stakes poker ($100) in blackwater can kiss my ass. I swear those fuckers cheat. RAAAAAAAGE. So I tried cheating, and I still got wtfpwned. So next time I play, I'm gonna intentionally get caught at cheating so I can kill everyone of the fuckheads in a duel.

Wtf so many weird people you get to meet in the game. They're all either crazy or creepy, or a horrible combination of both. I was so happy meeting that old man on the road to Thieves' Landing, who sounded all nice and asked if Marston could help him find flowers to surprise his wife. And after finding enough, I was eager to go back to them to see the happy look on the wife's err.. face..
(Loved how Marston played along, though OvO)

Do they really cheat, or are they just a pain to beat?

MrJoey · **Posted:** Mon May 24, 2010 4:01 pm

I think they're just a pain to beat. They also have some of the most god awful betting habits. Annoys the hell out of me when one guy bets a small amount, the next bets a bigger amount, then the other guy goes back and bets an even bigger, til they're both all-in. Just to find out one of the idiots has a pair at best, and the other had full house. Seriously? Wtf

Been looking for the treasure's with Veni today, 8/10 atm, so awesome xD

Can someone please post the Ingame Map? I wanna compare it to San Andreas. I've seen some maps on Google but it was some random islands,which I doubt are from RDR because I'm pretty sure they use the actual real life map(hence Mexico).

Why Cisco horse > any other horse. OvO

Video here.

XMoshe · **Posted:** Mon May 24, 2010 6:50 pm

The real map from the game, I can make a ingame one later if you want I guess.

Btw moshe, I think those last 2 (including the split tree one) are from blackwater. Not possible for me yet

Miguez · **Joined:** Nov 2008 **Posts:** 5003 **Location:**

Aww man you guys been playing together, me wants to join

XMoshe · **Posted:** Mon May 24, 2010 10:39 pm

Well we were both in singleplayer, just in a party with headsets o.O We weren't doing free roam online.

MrJoey · **Posted:** Mon May 24, 2010 11:04 pm

I've gotten all the treasure already myself. Last I was doing, was trying to get all the survivalist challenges done. Only have 2 more I think. Then I gotta get the last sharpshooter done. Disarm 6 people without changing weapons will be a pain in the ass if I don't find a bandit in a valley like I did for the shoot 2 hats + disarm 2 people.

Thanks,that freaking huge. I'm guessing the northern part is the "Snow/Canada themed" area?
