For the record she runs away screaming. Nevermind she was near death when I tossed her on my damn horse.

Re: Official Larry C Red Dead Redemption thread!!!

This is pretty cool:

http://www.rockstargames.com/newswir..._night.article

This Saturday night, May 29th at 12 AM Eastern and 9 PM Pacific, FOX will be exclusively airing an original short film made from Red Dead Redemption.

The 30 minute short film, created and directed by John Hillcoat (the director of The Proposition and The Road), chronicles a slice-in-time of protagonist John Marston as he tracks down his former fellow outlaw and friend, Bill Williamson. Along the way, Marston encounters many of Red Dead Redemption's eclectic cast of dreamers, misfits and liars.

Using the world of Red Dead Redemption as a virtual film studio and created entirely with in-game assets and technology, Hillcoat re-imagines Marston’s pursuit of justice and salvation.

Stay tuned for more details...
And a bit they mentioned in the comments:

Yes - it will contain some spoilers, from the first section of the game. We don't believe too many, but if you are playing that section of the game, you might be advised to watch it after you have moved into Mexico.

Re: Official Larry C Red Dead Redemption thread!!!

I'm officially retarded. I knew bb said if you preorder the game you get the warhorse code, and I did preorder. However, I never got the code but didn't worry about it. So I finally look in the damn case and... its in there. Now I feel really stupid and happy at the same time LOL.

The other night, I told my wife that after we were done working our way through all the stuff on our TiVo, we were going to watch Alan Wake. It's just that good.

I'm working my way through the hunting challenges and #8 was a kill a bear with the melee knife. What a pain in the ass, until I figured out you could slice while riding around on your horse.

Re: Official Larry C Red Dead Redemption thread!!!

Have any of you tried to lasso a bear yet? I haven't even seen one in the game yet, but I don't think I've even been to where they usually are though.

The only time I've run into a bear was after I accepted an invite and was mauled by one as soon as I spawned in free roam

Re: Official Larry C Red Dead Redemption thread!!!

Are there any cougars in Mexico? if so where? Also noticed my first huge glitch I was doing a stranger mission and when I went to complete it the person was invisible, but they were sweeping so the broom was just floating in the air LOL.

Re: Official Larry C Red Dead Redemption thread!!!

I gotta say...after all of the glitch videos I've seen, I finally ran into my first and I think it's the funniest one yet. I walked into a room where a woman was sitting at a desk. As I got closer I noticed she was in the sitting position with no chair under her (Basically just sitting on air)....the chair was on top of the desk in front of her....very subtle but I couldn't stop laughing once I finally saw it.

I really hope the glitches don't put people off as well....In no way does it ruin the game. I am really impressed by RDR - there is just so much to do. I approached a camp site where two people were having a fire, you can literally just walk up and have the option to sit down with them while they tell stories. After a game of horseshoes on the McFarlane ranch, I heard I violin playing on the other side of the building...walked over and everyone was sitting around the fire (night time) just relaxing watching the violinist play (i think it was a violin??) - I didn't even catch myself just chilling out for a second as well.....good stuff....then the horse i've been using since the beginning of the game got attacked by a pack of coyotes and killed....the one little fucker went right for his neck and was at one point hanging from it.

Re: Official Larry C Red Dead Redemption thread!!!

I saw a guy on a chair that wasn't there.I really haven't encountered too many glitches although had the game freeze a couple times and some troubles like other with free roam.I did have my best free roam session tonight as far as staying connected which meant i died a whole lotta times but least i upgraded from a donkey to a slow horse

Me, too. The early ones for for anything. After the game released, they changed it to games only.

Re: Official Larry C Red Dead Redemption thread!!!

I deleted my saves, cleared my cache, and started fresh. So far so good. I'm hoping I just had a corrupted save.

Re: Official Larry C Red Dead Redemption thread!!!

Finally got the game and hopped on for a little bit last night. Let me just say, like so many of you last week, I'm pretty much hoping I break my leg or something in the next few days so I can actually play for more than an hour.

Re: Official Larry C Red Dead Redemption thread!!!

I need to get back into the single player. I've spent the last couple of nights just messing around with a bunch of folks in Free Roam. Hearing everyone finish the game and their reactions is really making me want to move forward.

Yeah my brother had to do that too. He had only played single player for maybe an hour, and then the next he went to play it would just hang at the loading screen every time he tried. MP would load fine from the start screen. Since deleting his original save, it's worked fine.
