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

[ICanBreakTheseCuffs]

probably not the first person to say it but I've learned that the free roam is as boring and fucked up as hell because most people just invite you to their posse to kill you

 

[Lunkis]

I learned that putting a black piece of cloth over your face makes you completely free from the consequences of your actions.

 

[Lunkis]

Doublepost, sorry.

Killing a Bear is a declaration of war, resulting in the release of the Bear Army.

It's actually the Bear Cavalry, me and a fellow player were talking about this before...after I had 12 bears attack me in 2 minutes.

That's something I have learnt from RDR: don't lasso a bear, kill a bear, or even look at a bear without getting your arse handed to you...unless you are in possession of a semi auto shotgun.

John Marston will kill people with very little motivation and for very little reward.

Even Mexico is epic with the right theme tune.

The vast majority of games are worth $15 (AKA £8 in real money). Buy it already.

 

[Quaxar]

all women are hookers (except for the main women)

I have to negate, half of them are hooker-bandits cleverly luring you in their traps. Or should I say trap? Because it's always the same scenario, as if they keep exactly to the great book of crime.

And I learned Wild West people were disgusting cannibals and necrophiles.

Why are you wasting your time here on the Escapist, go buy it immediately! Seriously, RDR is utter brilliant, it should get an oscar for the story (you heard me, I did say Oscar!).

 

[Fursnake]

...that some developers appear to be anti-PC...

 

[Burningsok]

Bears can be ninjas to.

revolvers can be fired like a sub machine gun. Dead eye is needed.

 

[Korey Von Doom]

Cougars are assholes.
Bears excel at stealth.

Pretty much this.

Suddenly hear a roar behind you just in time to get your face slapped off by a bear.

 

[Ertol]

It's already been said about 20 times now, but cougars were pretty much the WMD's of the old west..riding along the ride and getting jumped and instantly killed by some random cougar is a horrible way to die.
