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?

      Yeah, I actually love the transfer portal and the NIL deals.  It makes it more exciting.  And I completely agree about the TV deals tied to the conferences is the real issue.  Even you bringing up Maryland is a great example.  They were a founding member of the ACC, and while not great at football in my lifetime, they were a huge part of the basketball fabric of the ACC.  I was pissed when they left for that reason alone…  and now in the ACC we have teams like Cal and Stanford which is clearly not the Atlantic Coast, all while teams like Clemson, FSU, and UNC are trying to get out.  I really, really hate that poo.

      Teams like Cal and Stanford in the ACC is just dumb and it honestly shows how desperate they were. It's documented that west coast teams win less than expected when traveling to the east coast to play and now you're joining a conference where practically every away game puts you in that scenario.

      Damn.  I stand corrected.  I wasn’t aware of Maryland’s national championship.  I was stating it more so just off brand and off the top of my head, tradition and prestige, namely the amount of notable pros they have turned out.  That was probably a dumb criteria to base it off of, but I just think that translates to competitiveness, and I never looked at Maryland as competitive in football in my lifetime.  I thought their move to the Big Ten was particularly stupid because when they left the ACC they weren’t even really competitive then.  So I feel like in terms of modern prestige, UNC is more relevant?  So I think they would have more appeal to potential suitors if they wanted to move conferences. And as far as the conferences go, I could be way wrong here, but my prediction is, the SECs and Big 10s of the world are going to shoot themselves in the foot if they’re not careful.  Yes, they are the big boys now, but if they’re continue to turn away viable candidates to join, like Clemson and FSU (and not homer talk, but UNC as well if they actually spent their money wisely), I predict they power is going to shift elsewhere, because the NIL money evens the playing field.  Look at Alabama now.  That’s why Saban left when he did…  he knew how to game the system as it was.  Were the players getting paid then?  Absolutely, but once it became legal to pay them at any school, who tf wants to go to Alabama?  If I’m not from there and I want to stay in-state, now an in-state school can pay me.  If I am from there and I have to choose between fuging Alabama and somewhere else that will pay me the same, why stay there?  Because just on its own merits, what is the appeal to Alabama?  But this example goes for anything.  Even a kid in Georgia.  Yeah, Georgia is more prestigious and a powerhouse, but what if Georgia Tech, or even Tennessee or Florida pays me more?  I just think the NIL has made it way different.  You don’t have to all funnel to Alabama or Georgia to be relevant anymore because anywhere can become a powerhouse school overnight, if done correctly.  So if the SEC and Big 10 keep acting all highsididdy on everybody, I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of those other teams that comprise the rest of the top 25-50 programs band together to form one other super conference that starts siphoning players away from them.
