I've only played a few hours of RDR but I've already had a few funny things happen, as will often be the case in a Rockstar game. This incident, however, pissed me off first before it made me laugh. What happened was I had gotten a treasure map, and I was off seeking it. Just me and my horse traveling across the cacti fields to a lake where I suspected the treasure to be buried. I get off of my horse to inspect around the lake on foot. I walk around looking for a landmark but I don't see what I'm looking for, so I decide to head over to the other side of the lake. Well, I remember watching westerns as a kid and how sometimes the cowboys will ride their horse across streams. So rather than have to walk all the way around the lake, I decide to whistle for my horse and take the shortcut through the lake. Well the horse comes galloping towards me ( he was quite a ways off), and as he nears me, I'm thinking he's going too fast and as that thought runs through my head, he plunges into the lake. But it looks as if the horse is having a hard time floating, in fact it just sank. Having already grown attached to my trusty steed I decide to jump in and try to save it. And I immediately drowned. Horses can't swim and neither can you. I learned a valuable lesson today.

Multiplayer is jacked right now.

My best moment is logging into multiplayer to see my character without anything but a hat and a pistol flying around the map shooting invisible people with only their name above them.

That's subjective, but I definitely love it. But I LOVE westerns and GTA type games. So if you're into those two things, I think it's safe to say you'll love it as well. Honestly, if somebody plays this game and doesn't like it, I think it says more about them than it does the game.

If you get it, I'll offer you another tip...don't try to kill a pack of wolves armed only with your knife, it will get real ugly.

I guess you don't have to walk back to town. I whistled for my horse after I shot him in the head and another one appeared. Guess this could be a way to make easy money since you get paid for horse meat and horse hide. Shoot a horse, skin it, whistle for another one...rinse, repeat. I think my honor went down though, so it would be a trade off between honor and 8 bucks.

Note to self. Don't be Stan's horse
To be fair the first horse was stupid. He had to know he couldn't swim and yet he ran past me straight into the lake. Besides I tried to save him, before I realized I couldn't swim either. Not sure how I was planning to drag a 900 lb. horse out of the water, but I gave it a go.

The second horse...well, he was just plain unlucky.

The single player game is awesome. Best Graphics by far on the 360, the attention to detail is staggering. When you shoot someone, they react correctly to the impact. If you shoot someone in the leg, they fall down and then get back up limping away from you. Very realistic looking. If you shoot someone on a horse sometimes they fall off and there leg catches the stirrup and they get drug around. I have also accidentally killed my horse while trying to shoot coyotes.

Does anyone know where to find the damn lasso?

      I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By frankw · Posted

      Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
