Red Dead hates women, loves glitching - apparently

[Mistermixmaster]

I've had a lot of women horse-thieves, but I'd say the ratio is only at about 60-40, where women represent 60% of the horsethieves.

Personally, I haven't encountered a single glitch yet (and I'm playing on the PS3), but I've seen a lot of them on youtube. Some of them are just retarded xD

Also, the Cracked article was hillarious xD

 

[Mechsoap]

i just shoot anyone who asks for a lift and yell f*** you to them, as for the glitches very few and on the 360

 

[johnfistyadams]

I've only ever had people in the background of cutscenes move erractically and phase in and out of shit. And during one of the stranger missions, the person I was helping cloned herself and ran off, leaving her confused clone behind to stand there.

You know there never was a wild west period? it was all completely invented by the media industry..

 

[GloatingSwine]

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.

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...

Actually, the trick is to speed up and run them down, or lasso them as they run at you and drag them around the wilderness.

I try and avoid that, because up until they start talking I don't know whether they legitimately want help, or are just thieving bastards. I'm playing as Mr Nice Guy, so it wouldn't do to murder someone who wants help.

You can tell what they're up to. If they spawn on their own in the wilderness and run towards you, they're gonna try and nick your horse.

The article was a joke. That's the point. You're getting mad over a joke. Lighten up, bro.

 

[chaos order]

[RobCoxxy]

NOBODY fucks with Carol!

Love that name.
My flatmate and I have ours called Lemmy and Paisley.... don't ask.

I've been through so many horses;

- Pickle, who was with me for the first 4 hours or so of the game, but tragically died when some idiot deputy tried to use him as cover in Pike's Basin.
- Geoffrey, who I accidentally ran over a cliff because I was speeding up and shooting backwards at bounty hunters.
- Agamemnon, who also went over a cliff because I did not see the cliff, and kept spurring him on.
- Paul, who did not die, but had to be abandoned when I crossed the river to Mexico. I can only assume he ended up as glue.
- Margaret, who was shot by outlaws. I'd just taken a bounty, and thrown the hogtied man over the saddle, when they appeared and gunned him down.

I miss them, one and all. Pour some out for my horsies, yo...

Lemmy is my current one, my first was called Bob, it ran off a cliff after I dismounted it, second one had a Patch, a friend wanted it called "Patch"...
I accidentally shot it when, during Dead Eye, it walked between me and my target.
I've decided to go with a Doctor Who style "regenerating horse" with Lemmy because I can't think of names any more

I've never really cared for Seanbaby. Every now and then he does something funny, but mostly I just find him dull. But humor is subjective after all.

As for the bugs, I have been getting quite a few of them. I've had the carriages flying off into the sky bug, and the horse getting stuck through a wall bug. I really want to see the creature/human morphs, but haven't yet.

And I am consistently horsejacked every time I go any length of road. I actually enjoy riding the horse around and looking at the scenery, so I don't quick travel much. I've been horsejacked by men and women both, pretty equally. I usually let them, because I like whistling to my horse and making it buck them off. I was actually surprised last night the first time I stopped for someone who said they needed a ride and they actually got on the horse with me.

 

[MetalDooley]

I've experienced a couple of glitches in the 360 version but nothing major

-Jumped off my horse to skin an animal.Turned around my horse was on top of a tree
-bringing a captured bounty to jail the game suddenly went into slow motion for about 3-4 mins
-called my horse,pressed y to get on,horse suddenly jumps forward about 10 feet and goes off a cliff
-twice doing the random encounter where the herbalist challenges you to a race to collect the herbs,I accepted the challenge but the game wouldn't let me pick any herbs

 

[squid5580]

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.

I was right in the middle of a big gunfight with a bounty and friends when some jackass stole my horse.

If any person who shows up blue on your minimap is asking for a ride. They are a horsethief shoot on sight.

 

[Kukakkau]

I actually want to try the hogtie bear bait thing now...

Glitches are pretty bad in the game though - I actually find they're alot worse when you play as Jack though

 

[Secret world leader (shhh)]

i've not seen that any of the more well known glitches in RDR, though there are a few. For instance: john's coat-tails blowing upwards while hanging off a ledge. there are a few gems though like an armyman giving the order to blow up a gate... to a floating stick of dynamite.

The article was a joke. That's the point. You're getting mad over a joke. Lighten up, bro.

Getting mad? No, not really. It just annoys me that he ranted on so much about glitches which, as far I've seen in my game, don't exist. The thread was asking other users about whether they'd noticed any. He could have made a much funnier article - Seanbaby, while far from the funniest guy on the internet, does have his moments.

The horse equivalent of The Hero With A Thousand Faces? I like it! I must admit, it is getting harder to name my horses. My flatmate has only been through two, the bastard - Desmond and Socrates - and makes fun of the fact I can't keep a horse alive for any length of time. Then again, he reloaded the game after he got angry and blew Desmond's face off with a shotgun, so which of us is the real villain here?

 

[lapan]

I had no glitches for a long time in RDR, i got my first one at one of the last missions. sometime i get lag-teleported ahead and end up getting stuck underneath the world. I can tell if a glitch will happen if i try to press the startbutton and the menu does not appear. In these cases i have to reload the game.

By the way, if someone tries to steal your horse: whistle for it! It will drop the thief down and return to you.

I had a funny encounter with a Mexican women on RDR yesterday.

I was riding along and came across a woman at the side of the road next to a stagecoach, so I slowed down and switched to my shotgun, fully expecting her to be a horse-thief or bandit honey trap, but to my amazement she was a genuine damsel in distress and wanted a ride into town.

She got on the back of my horse and we were set off to Chupurosa, being pursued by bandits along the way.
However, for the entire journey she was constantly complaining about how we would never make it to town, or that we still had a long way to go, urging me to ride faster because it was vital she got to town in time.

So after riding all day (in game time), we finally made it to town but as soon as I go to the marker which ended the Escort Mission, instead of saying thank you she just got off my horse, screamed hysterically, and then ran out of town almost as fast as my horse! Talk about fickle!

If Mexican women suddenly changing their mind about wanting to be in town is a glitch, then I can say I've encountered one too, on the 360, but I've never encountered any glitches like I've seen on Youtube and I've been playing it a lot since it was released.

On the subject of the chimera glitches like Donkey Woman and Cougar Man, I've heard talk about them being highly suspicious, since apparently the animation engine doesn't work like that and it couldn't glitch to combine a NPC's textures with an animal's model (or vice versa), so either they're intentional Easter Eggs or some game files have been intentionally modified.

Definitely him. "Don't shoot a gift horse in the mouth"
My horse has suicidal tendencies, just last night it chose to sacrifice itself to save me from a Banditos' shotgun.
So yes, just go with the occassional interchangeable name.

 

[Ickorus]

The only glitches i've had is clones and my horse standing between me and the guy im duelling, completely stopping me from killing the guy.

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)

See, this that's probably like ZP...except not funny. A critic trying to point out any problem in a game and make it funny. I've heard people bashing RDR but I've not heard any legitimate complaints. For example, that guy says it "hates women". I don't know the reasoning he lists but I would assume that's because a lot of the women were prostitutes. To that, I say go look through your history books. Women in the Wild West were rare. Those that were there were either hookers or housewives...oh, and seamstresses but their choices were limited to basically those 3 jobs. Also, I point out Bonnie who I found to be a strong female character who I only wished had more game time.

Second, the glitches. I've only had one after countless hours of game time. The only glitch was when my beloved loyal and now dead (stupid bear) horse reappeared after I skinned it. The animation ended and BAM! there it was standing over it's dead body. That was a bit weird but, like I said, I liked that horse...and I was in the middle of nowhere exploring so I didn't mind that glitch at all.

Side note: I never thought about naming my horse until seeing online that other people were so I've chosen "Argo". Enjoy a cookie if you got the reference. If not, ask and I'll recommend the great game.

By the way, if someone tries to steal your horse: whistle for it! It will drop the thief down and return to you.

Thanks for the tip. I'll try that next time. I've just been shooting them off of Argo...and then giving him an apple to calm his nerve. Poor boy gets scared when stuff like that happens.

My first horse, known as "Horsie" (wife named it) sadly died being shot while Bounty Hunting...and I think I just whistled after I got to Mexico and my horse "Argo" came to me. I guess he went across the bridge...which makes me ask why Drunky (I call him that instead of "Irish", it's a radio personality on a station where I live) and I didn't just go across the bridge instead?
