Red Dead Redemption Thread

To get back on track, on the subject of free roam..

I wonder if 4 teams of 4 would be better fun than 2 of 8. The latter I feel would just evolve into a common team death match when the two teams clash. Where as with more teams there's a greater chance of contact and also the chance of a 3rd team walking in on a fight, causing extra chaos.

Whats do folks think?

I couldn't get care less personally, but the fact that you said it spoiled it for you and then you proceeded to post it just doesn't make any sense at all. Here is a another roll eyes just to make sure yours isn't feeling lonely... :rolleyes:

Yikes calm down. I said I shouldn't have posted it anyway. Dunno why you are making a fuss about it :confused:

Anyway to not derail this anymore that it already has, has it been confirmed that it is just 2x8? Would be good to have the choice when hosting.
 
I want to get the Limited Edition version but I can't find it under £49.99. Can it be gotten any cheaper? As that seems insanely over priced.
 
LE sounds like a rip off/scam.

The extra things you get sound like unlockables, not even that great unlockables.



THE DEADLY ASSASSIN OUTFIT

John Marston's "Deadly Assassin" outfit causes your Dead Eye meter to regenerate at twice the speed. With more Dead Eye, you have more time to place each shot with total accuracy, making you the deadliest gunslinger in any fight.

THE WAR HORSE

There are countless horses to be found in the massive world of Red Dead Redemption, but none is stronger, faster or tougher than the exclusive War Horse. Whether storming gang hideouts, exploring the wilderness for hidden treasure, or outrunning the law, the War Horse gives gunslingers an advantage in nearly every situation.

THE GOLDEN GUNS WEAPON PACK

The player who wields the exclusive Golden Guns receives more Fame for each kill. The more Fame you get, the more in-game side missions become available. So there will be more opportunities to duel, more kidnapped townsfolk to rescue and you can bribe lawmen for less.

And a copy of the soundtrack.

Some of us are happy to pay it. For those who aren't, don't. It's quite simple :).

Meh, the GTA4 LE atleast had a bunch of cool stuff with it... Duffle bag, safe box, art book and soundtrack. RDR LE just sounds like weak sauce.

IMO

I'd rather play the game the way it was designed to be played instead of buying unlocks for it and using them from the start.
 
Yeah. I initially pre-ordered the LE, then switched to SE, I'd rather achieve the horse through regular gameplay. Imagine starting GTA4 with the fastest car/heli. Saves me a few quid too!

I mentioned something like this a couple of pages back, much preferred the idea of teams split 6v6v6 although 4-way would also be attractive...

Like you said, there could be two teams having a stand-off over a town/outpost before the third wades in. Would make it a lot more interesting!

How can you unlock them in regular game-play if they aren't in the game at all unless you get the LE?

Edit

I've just been Googling and you can only get the items in single-player and Multi-Player if you get the Limited Edition. They're only unlock-able in Multi-player if you get the regular version. It seems the extra honour unlocks extra missions in single-player too if use them in sngle player mode.

It must be noted that the Golden Guns only increase your Fame faster, which means more side missions.

The same side missions are achievable without the Golden Guns, you just need to do more work to get them.

There is a step forward too in terms of storytelling and characterisation. While Grand Theft Auto is filled with comedy gangsters, Red Dead Redemption has wizened old snake-oil salesmen, cowardly drunks and educated prospectors scared senseless of the nightmare in which they find themselves. All are rendered in delicate detail – a long way from the jolting bug-eyed marionettes so often seen in games.

Although there is an overarching story, I suspect many gamers will spend more time simply camping, riding, shooting and foiling bank robberies. That is why Read Dead Redemption promises to have real cultural impact. Like the psychological thriller Heavy Rain, released earlier this year, it says that games really have grown up: they can present us with moral choices, they can make us experience living virtual worlds.

There's a simple, but working economy in Red Dead. The closer a town is to the resource, the less a shopkeeper is going to offer for it. If there are buffalo walking 20 feet from the shop, no one's going to feel the need to pay top dollar. But take those buffalo skins down south, where they haven't seen tatanka in a decade, and you can make some real cash.

Poker is the real deal. Play long enough and you'll start noticing that different players have different tendencies. Pick up on these and you'll have a better chance of catching their bluff. Or you can give yourself the upper hand by purchasing the Elegant Suit from a shop. This outfit isn't just for looking fine. It allows you to pocket an extra card, which you can attempt to slip into the game when needed. Just be careful. There's a little mini-game involved to avoid tipping your hand. If you're caught cheating, your opponent will stop being friendly and challenge you to a duel. Defend your honor (pretend you have some!) and shoot that sucker dead in the street.
