Saw something yesterday that I'd never seen before. I was riding around, and I heard shots. I go to where the shots were fired, and see a woman, on her knees, crying over her dead husband. It kind of looked like a mission setup, so I walked over there. She said nothing, but wept, put her hand on her husbands head, put both on her face, then took his gun from it's holster, looked at it a moment, put it to her head, and pulled the trigger.

I wonder if you could have dead-eye disarmed her?

I had that same encounter for the first time yesterday as well. Crazy!

Anyone do the "I Know You" stranger encounter? Also, I'm holding off on what I expect are the last couple of missions so that I can finish off the ambient quests. Am I an idiot? Once the credits roll do I still have a chance to play around in the world?

1) Probably but we should take a poll.

2) I have been.

Yeah, finished "I Know You". I think that was one of the most creative strings I've seen in a game. Almost leaves it open to interpretation. I even went and discussed it with my wife after I finished it

At least your wife will discuss it with you...anytime I bring up video games my wife just tells me to go talk about it on the nerd board (DSP, lol).

hahahahahah

What's worse, is I get my wife to play games every once in a while. I just got her all hooked into World of Warcraft again, so I may regret that one soon.

You are screwed.

Memories return though...We all did the Dead Mines together.

Whens the expansion coming?...huh?...Huh?...huh?....that is going to be bad.

Fall, I think. But now we did the Recruit-A-Friend thing, so we get triple XP on everything. Go from 1 to 60 in like 2 days

Picked this game up last night. I am really liking it. I was thinking that I'd never be able to get into an old west type of game, but this game is special. I like it more than I liked the last few GTA games. I am wondering how long the fun will last, but for now I am glad that I picked it up. How many levels are there? I've heard it takes 20 hours to beat it.

Teal · Post by **Teal** » Fri Jun 04, 2010 9:54 pm

Yeah, Rob, you can still do all that side mission, playing around stuff after the credits roll. Finish the story...it's really good.

Done. Very, very cool.

Can anyone tell me what % of the total game the story takes up? Did you complete the story at like 75% or something? How much of the total game is the side missions and stuff. I am at 50% now and hoping it is not almost over.

The only question that remains is:

Which three of you are gonna join me tomorrow night?!?!

TCrouch · Post by **TCrouch** » Mon Jun 21, 2010 9:54 pm

This sounds great.

RobVarak · Post by **RobVarak** » Mon Jun 21, 2010 11:02 pm

OMG, sign me up!

The only thing that looks a bit iffy to me is the mining mission. Anytime you're in a mine it just emphasizes the weak points of the controls, IMO. All the rest look like a rocking good time!

I haven't been playing much lately...I gotta get back at it.

Legends and Killers pack out now...with Red Dead Revolver characters! 800 MS points, and worth every penny. The new MP map locations are really awesome. Fort Mercer, Hennigan's Stead, Pacific Union RR Co, etc. Plus, the RD Revolver characters are available in Free Roam, as well.

Pick it up! I want some more MP!

Teal · Post by **Teal** » Wed Aug 11, 2010 2:00 am

One of the NINE new MP maps is Blackwater. Not some 'section' of Blackwater, but the entire town of Blackwater. Great, great gang shootout location.

Heard a tremendously funny random line tonight, from one of the hookers. Started shooting up the town and got my wanted level started. After I'd killed three or four men, the woman put in her two cents as to why the shooting should stop:

"Ya'll stop shooting each other-I haven't made my quota!"

Guys, I know some people in here pinch a penny so tight that it looks like a train ran over it, but I really can't recommend the new maps any higher. GET IT.
