The more money you bet the harder it is.

There's a later variation of five finger in act 2 that is hard as hell...it incorporates all 4 buttons instead of just "x....x....x...", and you have to win it to unlock one of the outfits. I won't be getting that outfit

Not really sure about that article on "Inside RDR..."

So....maybe a first impressions article? They guy sound slike he played all of 1 hour before writing that article.

I have 24 hours into the game, and it is my understanding about 20 hours will go through the game if you do main missions only with very little time on side missions.

So, in 24 hours, I now have the option to take the ferry, and have spent a TON of time on bounties, breaking in horses, nightwatch, over 200 events in the gameworld, killed almost 400 animals and sold off the majority of pelts, etc. I am also lvl 5 in the 4-5 concentrations they allow you to do in the first area. I still feel like I need to spend more time in the first area to do more - but will probably move on.....that is all in 3 sessions of the game.

I would say I am enjoying myself. heh.

/edit: Oh, and 3 hours of that 24 on poker, dice, and horsehoes. I spent all of 3 minutes on 5 finger filet - found it very boring.

Yes, because of someone who comes from a family of Irish alcoholics we all know that's an unfair stereotype. At least the Irish make good drunks.

That BackBreaker is actually pretty cool. Might have to grab it. Red Dead...haven't stopped playing this masterpiece. Great stuff.

Survey for artist specific Rock Band games. Thanks nin.

You didn't include the IMPORTANT PART. Muse, Muse, Muse!!!!!
