This is one of those games that I don't want to finish because I don't want it to ever end.

How is the multi-player free-roam mode? That seems like the most intriguing aspect of the game.

Well, that and the almost unbearable shame of getting killed by Decker 01 in multiplayer.

A man abandoned by his posse. Left to die in a valley. :)

My problem is I like to use my throwing knives and then everybody just shoots me from like 100 yards away when I'm trying to get closer. :lol:

Before you got over there, there was this awesome moment where I was fighting with just the two green dudes 2 on 1. I was in a valley and they were up on a hill and I was trying to line them up as they were taking shots at me. Then my posse rides up behind me to my rescue and like 6 horses go tearing past me and make the guys on the hill take off running as they're gunned down. I was literally all "Shit! These guys got me pinned down and I can't.........OH! YOU DIDN'T KNOW I HAD BACK UP!! YOU LIKE THAT SHIT?!" :lol: We were all rollin'! Super fun.

Well, after reading all the praise here I picked this up today. About to pop it in and seeing as how much Xbox live ends next week (and with a full summer I won't renew until the fall) I am just going to barnstorm multiplayer. Posse up, folks: MrGarmonbiza. :p

I do suggest some single player. I don't find it easy to learn the mechanics of the game in the MP setting. Some of it isn't that intuitive.

That is some funny shit right there...

A friend and I were trying to clear all the gang hideouts in a public free roam, and some assholes, 4 of them kept killing us from behind...we would turn around and kill them but it was 4 vs 2, and we would still get them good, but they had the high ground and they kept spawning right on us...(when we would die we would spawn all over the place, but it kept spawning them on the high ground right above us.)

We finally clear the gang hideout, and my friend gets away on a horse, but they had me stuck in the fort...I just waited there, and finally all 4 came in slowly, crouched....I timed a piece of dynamite right at the entrance as their 4 green dots came in, and BOOM...4 bodies fly in every direction...

I call my horse, and they, obviously pissed, re-spawn and come charging in on their horses...another dynamite, another 4 dead people, and 3 dead horses....

I get outside the gang hideout, and I am still pissed, and so I set up down far away from where they keep spawning. My friend is back at this time and he starts dropping them, and they keep spawning on top of a ridge....I get out my sniper, and one after another after another, head shot....after about 4 waves of this, they drop out of the free roam...

Now THAT was fucking sweet revenge.

Every time I try to switch weapons, I duck instead and vice-versa! :lol:

That brings up a good point : There should be some choice of respawn points. Sometimes I'll keep respawning in the middle of a skermish and can't get out of there or move to a new position a little further away. I'll try to grab a horse but get gunned down before I get away and they cycle repeats. You hate to drop out of free roam, but sometimes you don't have a choice.

Everytime I try to slow down my horse I use the LT for "break" like I'm driving a car cause I'm a retard. :lol:

One thing I don't like is how on the PS3 version crouch is assigned to the stick you use for moving around so I am constantly crouching when I don't mean to.
And I always hit square to stop my horse I guess since I am use to GTA, so instead of stopping my horse jumps.

Yeah, I kept doing things wrong because I had come from a couple of games that use L1/R1 for aim/fire instead of L2/R2. I kept pulling L2 to stop my horse, thinking it was the brake. It takes some time to adjust.

It took me hours to get used to stopping the horse and shooting because of the button layout. :lol:

I caught on though of course.

Do it before someone spoils it. It's one of the best endings I've ever seen in a game.

That's also my fear.

Without spoiling it, can you say it would be possible to continue playing the game after the ending, like in GTAIV?

Spoiler: It turns out that John Marston is a sled.

This is not really a spoiler to answer your question, but I guess it sort of could be a spoiler...so lets call it minor spoiler...but to answer your question about if you can play after you have finished the game


Spoiler:
yes

I could not agree more......

So I finally made it to south of the border earlier today. Oh man, the music that plays, just incredible. One of my favorite video game moments ever, at least in terms of mood.

I also found respawning wolves so I maxed out on them in my inventory, I guess at 99 or 100. I'm not totally sure though.

I love this game so much.

Thought this was a good omen to how I usually play in multiplayer mode (which is horrible). First shot I kill for Red Dead Rock Star. Then for the next two hours out there I get my head torn off. :p

That's one thing I wanted to mention. I only played regular mode for about 20 minutes but LOVED the music at the intro. Just like Moricone!
