The first RDR is how I learned to play poker (8 damned years ago already.. jeesh) and R* did a nice job of refining it this go-round. The AI seems smarter that the first game and I even saw an NPC join the table while the game was in-progress. Little things get to me, I guess.
I know logically I just have to rob a store to make a quick $20, but winning it at the poker table just has more satisfaction to it.
I hate the dumb little sly grin everyone does after they win a hand and collect their chips. [Reply]

lol.
Yeah they play retarded. You can sit there for 40 hands and fold and wait for a monster hand and when you bet pre-flop they'll say "Ah bullshit you're bluffin!".
I made all my money in the first RDR from five finger fillet. I just memorized the pattern and it was easy money. They made it a bit more difficult this time around. [Reply]
last night, after unlocking Chapter 3 and riding in to Rhodes....
I take it Rhodes is a rich town/city? everyone was giving me grief. on my way out of town back to the camp, there was a guy just leaning against a rock, and as I trot by my horse, he says something shitty to me, so I respond by 'antagonizing' him. He immediately freaks out and drags me off my horse; we tussle, and I quickly go to aim and shoot.
apparently I had some sort of shotgun pistol selected; BLAMO!. shot him. Blew his head completely off at a range of about 2 feet. :-)
I drag his body off into the woods so no one will see him (this murder happened on a main 'road'). when I get out of the woods, I whistle for my horse, don my bandana mask, and ride back through where the murder occurred. When I did, there was someone on a horse looking at the large pool of blood on the ground, and made some sort of Rockstar-esque comment like "welp...looks like someone had a bad day" or something to that effect.
guy I killed was just a body, with no head and bloody meat where his head used to be :-)
love this game. just the randomness of it. while trotting through town and passing people, they'll say stuff liike "Jeez...have you taken a look at yourself in the mirror lately mister"; or "good lord Mister...what happened to you"
as I have blood all over my shoulder from hoisting animals onto my horse; probably haven't slept in days, or shaved or bathed. lol [Reply]
Yeah fuck Rhodes. Fuck Saint Denis too. I hate riding around that city. Too many dumbass people that run right out in front of you. It's just like GTA 5 where the drivers and people are programmed to cut you off.
I was playing yesterday in Saint Denis and some weasel out of nowhere mouthed off to me, and my guy responded antagonistically "Well hello to you too". The guy said he was gonna blow my head off and I antagonistically replied again "Let's try this again. Hello." So then some bystander runs off screaming "POLICE POLICE" and it says I'm wanted for disturbing the peace.
So then I murdered the mouthy fucker, the witness, 25 policemen, and ran over the town mutt just for shits. [Reply]

One of my favorites is when I walk in to a town covered in animal or human blood and someone will say "Is that what winning looks like"...lol. [Reply]
bounties are fucking stupid in this game. Im riding down the path right by rhodes and i get ambushed by people trying to rob me. I pull out my pistol and shoot them all dead and some witness rides up and reports me for murder. Like wtf you cant even defend yourself [Reply]
yeah, I'm not hip on the bounties.
I had finally had enough of running from them so i was letting them creep up on me, and I had got a good spot to open fire on the when they came into view.
apparently, they're bullet proof.
I also don't like how if you're killed by a bounty hunter, you get money taken away from you AND still have the bounty tagged to you when you come back to life. After getting killed like 3 times by them at about $50 a pop each time I died..I finally said screw it and went and paid my bounty. [Reply]
so, does 'donating' to the camp actually do anything?
I know there's the ledger available to me to upgrade the camp etc, but in terms of donating to 'the box'.....is there any benefit?
when I look at the ledger, it's like I"m the only one from my gang 'dontating' :-)
saw a few members of the gang that's in Chapter 3 ( I forget their name) off the road a bit on a bluff. I casually walk up....they start talking noise, and things got tense. until I tossed a stick of dynamite and wipe out all 6 of them. :-)
...I need to get more dynamite. that's a handy tool right there. [Reply]
