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?

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
