So, according to Seanbaby, Red Dead Redemption hates women. This article really annoyed me (yes, I know Cracked is a comedy sites, and that the articles are rarely entirely accurate, before you say anything) for some reason, and I think it was that most of the article seemed to be complaining about glitches in the game. The rest of the annoyance comes from the arse-licking Seanbaby fanboys who will cover even his unfunny work (which this article certainly is) with so much praise you'd think Jesus had returned to Earth and was giving out free ice cream and handjobs. But I digress.

I've seen a few threads on these forums and even a review that mentioned the serious glitches. This seems kinda bizarre to me, because I've seen nothing of the sort. The biggest glitch I've experienced is falling off a cliff because I was skinning a wolf - I pressed the Y button on one side of the corpse, then when the animation finished I stood up on the other side, causing me to tumble backwards into a ravine. Which was pretty hilarious, watching Marston bounce slowly to his death.

I've never seen Cougar Man, or any man/animal hybrid, though this might be because I instinctively shoot everything that rustles in the bushes. I've never had anyone appear twice in a cutscene, or disappear mid-fight, or anything like that. Barely even a visual glitch on the horizon. Is it my platform? I'm playing the game on the 360. Are the other versions more prone to glitching? It's a mystery to me...

Oh, and side note: I have never, ever been horse-jacked by a woman. I didn't even know the game was coded to allow that to happen. When I meet women out in the wilderness they've generally had their carts stolen, are beings chased by wolves, or are filthy sirens who try and lure me in with their breasts so that their greasy Mexican bandito chums can shoot me inna face. Tricksy minxes. No horse theft though, which I would treat as a far more serious crime - NOBODY fucks with Carol! (I know, I know. I let my mate's girlfriend name my new horse. I'd lost so many by that point that I was starting to get depressed naming new ones)

Agreed i have yet to see thes Glitches people talk of in my Game, There was once a time when i was skinning a wolf and it didn't do the Cutscene of marstons face, instead i got a Third Person view of his behind as he crouched low to skin the thing alive.

I did run into one person trying to steal my horse, but i thought that was actually meant to happen, and i found it quite funny how a whore in the middle of nowhere trying to jack my horse in Free Roam.

The article wasn't too bad you've just got to take it with a pinch of salt. I've never run into any of the glitches either (i'm on xbox) but the youtube vids are hilarious especially donkey-woman and cougar man!

The article isnt that bad. Anyway the biggest glitch ive encountered is when I hoppped into cover and I juttering around for a while then shot up 30 or so feet up into the air, fell then died. This has happened to me twice and also 2 NPCs fighting were caught in the ground.

People stealing your horse is meant to happen. I've just never seen a woman do it. The trick is to get off your horse before they drag you off, so you can pull a gun and blow holes in their head...

I've noticed some minor glitches but, I've also noticed a huge thing that slipped by:

While playing Single Player, you can kill your horse [while wearing the bandanna of course] and whistle for another horse...an infinite number of times. This breaks the game by allowing you to harvest an infinite number of horses for free and with no penalty! I did this for about an hour and a half until my game froze. At that point there were about 20+ dead skinned horses at the front gate of the mini-town whose name I can't remember [the one in the far north-west. There is a story-mode race there towards the end of Act 1]

I guess I'm just not a Seanbaby fan. Some of his comics are pretty funny, but a lot of the time he's too...well, too into the character to be funny. DOB and Brockway are way funnier.

It seems to be the Xbox version that doesn't glitch. I shall go home, armed with this knowledge, and slap my PS3-owning flatmate around the face with it.

I've had the glitch where you fly up into the air for no reason and fall to your death, as well as horses spazzing out and such things. I often find people and/or horses walking through each other in cutscenes but I don't think this is a 'glitch' and rather that they just kept in the AI with the cutscene AI placed on top without connection. I'm on the 360 btw.

I figure the guy that wrote the article just wanted some commedy by connecting it to women, not to be taken seriously.

Sure you can do that, but why would you? When the horse dies, you have to wait a minute or so before you can whistle for a new one. Not to mention that horse meat/hide is practically worthless, only a couple of dollars each. In that time, you could have walked twenty feet and killed three or four wild animals, the value of which could be up to five times the value of a few dead horses.

I wouldn't say it was game-breaking; yes, you can make infinite money that way, but you make much more (and a lot faster) by just roaming around the desert. What bugs me more about the money system is that, much like GTA IV, when you come towards the endgame you just keep accumulating it with nothing particularly expensive to spend it on. All I buy are new houses, and the occasional gun.

I'm trying to remember the name of the town...Something Fork, right? I remember it being Fork...

I just had a severe glitch today, my first one. I was riding my horse to some guy getting shot, when my horse started teleported back and forth several feet, yeah. I got of the horse, now I was below the bloody map, not falling, just standing. I couldn't move or jump, the game didn't even allow me to set up a camp: "you need to be on flat land!", well how about you let me go back?! So restart it is D:

Writers:?Players, it took me four marriages to learn what I?m about to teach you: If you want to keep your stuff, shoot every woman you meet immediately!?

That article made me laugh a bit but I didn't play the game yet. Yahtzee had his horse in a wall so I guess it isn't glitch proof.

Rathskeller?
Or something like that.
That sounds about right. I prefer to think of it as "The Place I Took A Lot Of Money From Country Simpletons"

Well, is anything glitch proof? I'd be interested to know what platform Yahtzee played on - I haven't seen the vid yet - because plenty of people playing the 360 version have been saying that it doesn't glitch, or at least not much.

Oh, there was another glitch online. Taking out all the bandits in pikes basin, there was one left that the posse couldn't get to, he was glitched under the floor yet shooting the shit out of everyone. Again 360.

Another glitch was a forced duel in a mission, where the opponent was facing 120 degrees away from me, so I could unload in the back of his head.

I haven't seen any glitch in the week I've played it on my brother's xbox, but I guess there will always be glitches in huge open world games...
Say, is there really an achievement involving train tracks and hogtied people?
