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

On my ride from Blackwater to Escalera in Public Free Roam, I got to Fort Mercer (halfway) and some douche in there shot at me and ended up killing my horse. I picked myself up and started running, whistled for my horse and when it came near, I hiked myself up onto its rear, and barely escaped. Made it the rest of the way without issue. Achievement unlocked.

No if you suck stay away from our posse, but if you lick......

This seems to be a popular theme with this game, I think I read somewhere that there's even an achievement for it.

You don't buy just anything, you buy the actual scrap at the general store. If it says locked then you need to complete more story missions before it is unlocked and available for purchase. As Pinata said, after buying the scrap go to your provisions screen and select to use.

I read most of this to the theme song from Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

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

I haven't redeemed my War Horse yet since I'm still playing ModNation Racers. But...

If you could have $30 in your hand, or the War Horse in your game, which would you choose?

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

For those that finished.

Spoiler:
I'm bummed with the closure we get with Bonnie. That prolonged shot of her after John/Abigail leave is really depressing. I would love some DLC where you play as Bonnie and maybe can get her hooked up with somebody. She's obviously a dynamic lady, so it'd be kind of a neat twist to do I think.

That's because I'm a cunning linguist.

Agreed. I would've liked to have seen:

Spoiler:
Jack at least have an interaction, maybe a Stranger mission with her to give the character a little closure.

Regarding Bonnie:

It'd be perfect situation to hook her up with Jack. Talk about some hot 19th Century cougar action!
The kind that DOESN'T kill you and your horse in two hits!

Take the money. The warhorse is basically the same thing as a stallion that you can find in any field.

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

Just finished the main story and enjoyed it quite a bit. Definitely neck and neck with Mass Effect 2 for my vote for GotY.

I have a few more things to do to get 100%

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

I've become increasingly bored with the repetitive single player gameplay and just when I thought I was nearing the end it suddenly turned into Green Acres The Game (tm). My exciting life on the ranch has me pining for the days when I used to go flower picking for fun. I'm ready for this to be over.

According to http://reddead.wikia.com/wiki/Bonnie_MacFarlane

Spoiler:
NPC discussions, in 1914, can be heard discussing that she found a husband. Also NPC state that she was taken by outlaws and is held hostage at Tumbleweed, though this might be a bug or only happen before the mission when Marston had to save her from there.

I chose the War Horse. I actually was one of the chumps who paid for it on eBay. I think it was the best out of the 3 or so pre-order items. I've used it exclusively since I've started. It looks bad ass and seems to have a decent amount of stam and speed. I don't know how it compares to the higher level horses you get later in the game though.

I sold my War Horse code for $40 the same day i got the game. I was also able to get BB to pricematch the TRU deal and get a $25 GC.
