This game has gotten on my nerves. One of the strong points was supposed to be the wonderful scenery, but as you're trying to progress in the game and you have to either ride for five minutes to get there or go through the wait screens to travel there and then still have to ride a minute to get there. then you get there, confront the gang, take a few out, hide behind a huge rock, and get shot through the rock. Rinse, repeat, die again by a gang member who has FMJs equipped from MW2. After the third time, I just turned off the damned thing. I'll probably get rid of it soon.

Its not that I don't appreciate what Rockstar has done, but their whole game theory just doesn't meld well with what i want as a gamer. And its strange that I'm willing to grind out HOURS in a RPG to get a sword that adds one more damage point than the one i used for three or fours hours just to get it, but that I LOATHE having to ride the damned horse or drive the car across the gameboard in order to do something. Weird, I know.

We all have different tastes For me This game has quickly become my all time favorite. I just love riding around on horses and doing random things like hunting, helping random ppl on the road and even collecting those damn flowers!! I never thought i would enjoy that In between all of this the story mode is quite brilliant. I just have remind myself there actually is a campaign in this game, its so easy to forget. And not to mention there is still multiplayer to get to, I haven't got the time to seriously get into it yet.

And as far as driving around in a city in GTA4, i totally hated it. Get enough of that in real life.

I just cant stand RPGs, gets on my nerves. Like i said before, we all got different Tastes

If taking forever to get to places annoys you then don't play Fallout or Oblivion Ray lol. Although those games have quick travel (which is pretty good actually, doesn't take long) you first have to find those places.

Might make it...interesting.
I'll send you a message if I see you on.

I didn't sober up.

That's okay, bud. I was out of it too, but for different reasons. Trying to move my sleep schedule 10 hours forward.
I'm operating at about 30-ish% brain power at the moment. I was not much better Saturday. Hopefully I can get settled pretty soon, but it's a big adjustment for me.

What's weird is that I LOVED Fallout. Oblivion I enjoyed until I realized that I just kept fighting the same darn things over and over and over and over again. Then I gave that up. I think its just the rockstar formula that doesn't do it for me. I've spent the same amount of time with RDR that I spent with GTA4 and had the same "oooh shiny" impression at first and then the feeling of letdown shortly thereafter.

Ah well, on to the next one I suppose.

I loved the single player aspect. It can certainly grind and travelling by horse gets a little old after a while. I started using the stage for all my travelling.

That MP and I are struggling to be friends. I have 4 trophies left and they are all MP. The winning 4 straight team based games is killing me because so much of it is out of my hands. I got 3 straight wins last night and then got placed on a team by myself against another team. Needless to say, I didn't get the win.

I also can't seem to get a full Posse together. I got 5 together last night but couldn't find anybody else to join.

I'm so close to finishing this game but the last hurdles are large.

Hmm, guess that's just a little bit strange there Ray. Oh well then I suppose right?

How have the rest of the trophies been treating you Hoos? After bad experiences in FoM, R2 and MW 2 multiplayer I'm probably not going to play it in RDR. Hell I'd probably only play it just to work towards getting the platinum. I'd be willing to help you out with the posse thing though if you need another player.

The single player trophies aren't bad. Some are a grind but that is to be expected. Fallout's certainly take longer to get.

I may need your help. I'm getting close to begging people to help me get the Posse one.

Awesome, to me Fallout's didn't take that much time to get. I suppose the MP ones are pretty tough. I'd be glad to help out if you help me out in return ya know? Just send me a message if I'm on when you need me.

FYI to those who need to know this....

You can quick travel anywhere in single player. Buy a tent camp from store then upgrade it so you can quick travel.

Buy maps too as they extremely helpful.

^True. Though it would be much nicer if you could just fast travel without having to set up camp. You always have to get to a flat spot away from the road, it can be a pain.

Me set one up in a river crossing once and fire was lit and burning underwater, most odd was horse was over top of fire cooking his frank 'N beans...

Interesing...

It would be nice if we could get 8 on and then everybody could get the achievement at one time.

I'll help. It would have to be early in the morning, or late at night though.

That is 3, 5 more to go!

Where's Liam and our XX Super Friends when we need them?

Is there a special XX-Signal that we need to turn on or something? What is the protocol for summoning XX to help?

We need a keg of rum, a gravy dish, some anime, and a Sponge. That oughtta do the trick.

Who else we got? Oh, Diiiingooo!

I'll help if you like. I can bring another 2 with me.
Although for the trophy, you have to get the full lobby of 16 players. We've tried it, we had the 8 posse and 14 players and couldn't find 2 more people to join.

I hope that was a glitch or something. It SHOULD only be an 8 person posse. We will try again and see what happens. Thanks for joining and bring as many as you can. Still need some more.

See? Not even 15 minutes later. Good ol' XX-signal.

Who started the posse? Was it one of you, or did you join an existing one? It would only be the person who actually started it that got the trophy.

We aim to please
It was Tox that started the posse and she didn't get it.

Tox was probably too busy trying to stab things. She might have some issues.
