Things You've Learned From Red Dead Redemption...

[kalakashi]

If you are truly bored, it may be advisable to throw knives into the back of people's calves for a few hours.

If you are about to kill a herd of buffalo, be on the SAME side of the tracks as they are, as you may fire 22 rounds into the side of a train in rapid succession.

If you live in Chuparosa, when you wake up do not immediately sprint outside and push a man sitting in a chair, or you may just end up 4000 feet in the air on a completely invisible platform with no possible escape.





Bunk Trimble is everywhere.

Bears will attack you no matter what. They will do it relentlessly... with tactical formations in great numbers. If you give the bears the slightest chance to ambush you, they will do it.

EDIT: Blarg, double post, sorry.

I learned that bears are both pack animals and connected via hivemind.

 

[Not-here-anymore]

do not buy this. the ending is piss tho it teaches never to do anything, AND I MEAN ANYTHING!!!!! wrong or the government will shove old glory so far up your ass you will vomit stars

Well, I'm not going to buy the game for the ending, and I generally don't pay attention to the story in games like Red Dead and GTA, so unless you have a really good reason why to not buy it, then I think I might go through with this.

I... what? No! Pay attention to the story! Sure, it disappears for a little while when you wander into Mexico, but the story is brilliant!

Things I learned:
Anyone can shoot accurately with a revolver. Possibly more accurately then they can with a sniper rifle. (See also: Any Sergio Leone film)
Picking flowers will make you famous, and people will respect you for it.
Having problems in your current gunfight? Just go into slow motion, and everything will be fine. Also, in slow motion, you'll be able to shoot a flea off a cougar's ass, the cougar itself, and a rattlesnake you never even saw in the space of 2 seconds.
Bears are rare. Until you get off your horse; then the sneaky bastards are everywhere. But not too difficult to kill by the dozen.
Skinning animals is a quick, clean and easy process. Just stab and cut for a couple of seconds, and you're done.

Mexico is spelled 'Mehico'

It's easier to be a good guy.

tieing women up is legal

Those law makers are kinky.

 

[Phlakes]

Yes, there are screenshots of John jumping between train cars. Don't get your hopes up for an epic train robbery segment, because you will be severely disappointed, like me.

And keep a save file before the mission "The Last Enemy that Shall something-or-other".

 

[voetballeeuw]

Zebra Donkies exist and can be used in the place of horses. They're really fucking fast too.

 

[Egobrain]

That it's an awesome game, and that it's going to have ZOMBIE dlc for it later. Hmmm. Maybe I didn't say that right. ZOMBIES FOR RED DEAD...No? ZOMBIES FOR RED DEAD!!!!....Hmmm. ZOMBIES!! ZOMBIES!!! ZOOOOMBIES!

How is that a bonus? Why the hell are zombie extras seen as the best thing EVVVVAR!!!1!!1!?

It's a bland game. the story is fun the first time through, the multiplayer is ruled by knobends. Every server seems to be filled with people whos sole business is to shit in your cereal. And no one will ever sign up for the GAME games. They just want to roam the countryside picking on people who are out to have fun.

The only lesson I learned was that peace loving good natured people seem to be magnetized to passing bullets. Ever character with any kindness in their souls eat shit in this game.

Its worth 15 bucks. But theres a reason your bud is selling it that low.

When riding off a cliff on a horse, the rider will soak up all the fall damage.
It is possible to outrun a bear on foot.

BA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Painfully accurate

 

[Eden the Fox]

The bear thing. They apparently have a hivemind... Also; apparently train conductors are used to someone coming up and killing everyone on their train, 'cause they never seem to care or stop what their doing... And a bandanna makes you completely anonymous to the world.

 

[Gyrefalcon]

You can shoot most anything that moves. Rabbits, hawks, bears, buffalo, cougars, etc. they are all valid and tend to give you items you can trade.

It's $15!!!! What more do you need to know? I didn't even like the game and I'd buy it for that!

This is a good point. I was going to go through with it after I looked up "Cougar man" on Toutube anyways, but this fact that it's $15 makes the urge to proverbially smash my proverbial piggy bank and wave money in my friends' face incredibly hard to control.

 

[GLo Jones]

I learned that, no matter how good it may be, after not playing a single-player game for a prolonged time, I'm literally incapable of returning to it.

Probably not the type of response you were looking for, but a very literal answer nonetheless.
The only exceptions to this rule are Dynasty Warriors games, and Oblivion.

 

[Mister Awesome]

bears are sneaky as hell and will kill you in one swipe if you dont watch your back.

if your horse dies all you have have to do is whistle and a horse within a 100 mile radius will come running to you

all women are hookers (except for the main women)

 

[Orcus The Ultimate]

frankly i haven't learnt a thing in RDR... it was just a long run of FUN !
