Red Dead Redemption Players Murder 132 Million People in Two Weeks

[Rorschach II]

You can shoot hats off in duels?

Thats cool. *Goes off to get caught cheating at poker on purpose*

Why no numbers of how many people got murdered by those bloody mountain lions, or accidentally rode horses off cliffs? I'd like to say I helped contribute to those figures, but I can't, honestly, as I didn't buy the game until later. (Otherwise they'd be considerably higher... oh yes indeedy... *snicker*)

I have nothing against the wolves in that game (yet) but I hav shot more armadillos than was perhaps neccessary. Mountain lions are incredibly annoying though, and deserve to be shot (in the game!). I have'nt actually murdered that many people, but I do have a habit of accidentally mistaking lawmen for hostiles. That happens alot.

I wonder how many people have shot their own horse while riding it, I know I'd have at least one to add to that tally.

I haven't managed that yet, but I did accidentally shoot my Kentucky Saddler horse while trying to haul away a bounty(I whistled for it and it ran into my line of fire). That horse was faster than my other horses and was worth 750 dollars.

You do know you can get it back by selecting the deed, right?

Glad to be a part of it. All that killing is alot of fun

 

[theironbat46]

this is why violence needs to be removed from games

That is a poor attempt a sarcasm.

What sarcasm? You dont think mass violence like this has any effect on children's minds?

Red Dead Redemption is basically one big western, just with more glitches, and no one seems to have a problem with those. It's rated M, so if their parents bought it for them, they must think that they are mature enough to no not to try and pick a fight with a bear, and if they don;t think that they shouldn't have bought it for them. Did you read that article with the man who let his kid play GTA and they kid was SAVING PEOPLE. Don't blame the game.

.. I'm throuoghly impressed I'm part of a tiny chunk.. I always aimed for hats.. and killed my fair share of law dogs. but jesus... 132 million... good job everybody.. take 5 not you though you deserve 10 good for you.

but I agree more games need to do this. and I want to rebuy this game now XD

 

[mad825]

I thought that PETA would have been all over this but they have not mentioned this on their website...yet

 

[Go Fighting In The War Room]

Hooray! If we're counting Multiplayer I've contributed over 4000 to that count. (counting NPC enemies and just random targets) And Singleplayer... Maybe another 1500?

 

[Prometherion]

Wonder how many people died to cougars?

 

[Fallen-Angel Risen-Demon]

Hands up if you've done a good chunk of that?

*Raises hand*

*raises hand*
me 'an my Buddies did at least... 10% of it together.
Yay mass murder!

i find it interesting that 22 spend 28 of theyr ingame life in jail, personally i just fled or shot evryone following me in case of shit
did 3400 or so kills on humans and 2350 on animals so i did a chunk, never stole a horse or robbed anyone. arson i did about 20 times, and i played 24 hours or soo, and drank about 50 liters beer

I lost 5 horses to the evil cliff monster! It just eats bullets...

 

[Dioxide20]

I like the new statistical approach that game developers are taking. I loved Bungie's Halo 3 heat maps, and just the weapon kill stats in general.

I understand that this isn't "new", but just the sheer volume of statistics available to the players definitely is.

 

[Master_Fast]

I haven't killed a lot of people but the wolves...
those goddam wolves...

And the cougars! Why, last week I was out picking flowers and 4, count 'em, FOUR cougars attacked me outta nowhere.

 

[Xero Scythe]

Wow.

I'm suprised the numbers aren't higher. The hell are you doing, people? Start killing, dammit!

 

[MDSnowman]

I always like to know things like this, I wish more game companies would give us this information. I wonder how many people have shot their own horse while riding it, I know I'd have at least one to add to that tally.

Twice here.

Also so many Wolves died because the damn things like rushing you in groups of 4-6. I got the the point where I'd ignore wolves if they left me alone, but they never did. If your species' reaction to John Marsten with a gun is to rush at him Darwin says let them die.
