This quest initiated after I broke in my first stallion. I went to the tree to help and they killed my new horse! That horse was fast as shit and had a lot of stamina so I was pissed off. How do you even save these cunts from hanging? She survived but I must have shot the rope or something because I don't remember doing it. I was also using a double barrel shotgun and going to down pretty recklessly so there was a lot of collateral damage (dead horses everywhere!). I was so pissed off I killed her husband and hogtied her. Then put her on the train tracks. (got an achievement!)

Get used to using deadeye mode more, too. It helps A LOT.

I took that dudes challenge to kill the 3 buzzards within 30 seconds and failed because the 2 buzzards that were left were directly over my head so I couldn't aim at them. He laughed at me and said his name would be heard for miles and demanded I pay him the wage. So of course I pulled out my shotgun and killed him.

I feel like I'm 12 again but I called in to work for tomorrow so I can play this the majority of the day.

They give you so much deadeye.

I pretty much spend more of my combat time in deadeye than out.

Dear Rockstar,

Could you please make a multiplayer game that isn't riddled with retarded connection issues?
Thanks.

Sincerely, the world.

Fuck y'all, I'm playing Alan Wake.

Chuck and Myk and Cap and I steamrolled some smelly bandit fucks and then we shot each others burros and pistol whipped each other in the face. GOTY.

the tv stuff in gta4 kinda blew but the movie houses in rdr own

Same thing happened to me! After seeing the knife he used I thought everyone would thank me for shooting him dead in the street.

Had some fun in multiplayer and goofing around with a friend in free roam, the game is really damn good. The animation is nuts, they really took the time to optimize it, runs like a champ.

Apparently it runs better on the 360, not that that's all that surprising considering how notoriously complicated the Cell is

Ars Technica did write up

it's clear that the 360 version has quite the graphical advantage. It's sharper, with much less aliasing. The faces of the characters were clearer in the opening section. Gameplay sections likewise looked better, with smoother graphics across the board. The PlayStation 3 version looked impressive, but there was a noticeable jump in quality while playing on the 360.

Game is overwhelming. I have no idea how they fit all this in there. The atmosphere is unbelieveable. You run into stuff all over the place. Its almost too much. You will be doing what seems like just minor things - look at the clock and 3 hours have gone by. This game will take me years to finish. It basically is Oblivion in the wild west with much more varied stuff happening all around.

I must say the controls arent that great. Why cant I just turn around - no, my character has to do a U-turn. Plus you have to hold in A to move riding the horse? Why cant I go into cruise control and just steer L or R - unless im doing something wrong? Also, multiplayer pretty much sucks as of now. Hopefully the upcoming co-op missions are cool.

Single player is unreal though. Rockstar threw down the gauntlet to all open world games to follow for sure.

How big is the map anyway? Is it like GTA 4 sized, Oblivion sized or (lol) Just Cause 2 sized?

I never want to shoot anything again in GTA4 after playing this. Combat is silky smooth

As I was riding into the McFarland ranch I noticed som muhfuggin banditos tearing up the town. Naturally I ran them down, but as I was shooting the last guy (Who had a girl hogtied and dragging her through the town, my auto aim locked on to her and BOOM, corpse on a rope.

I lol'd hard.
