Came across quite a funny moment today actually. I was hunting down a bounty, I quickly disposed of his hoodlums, before coming face to face with him. I was hoping to take him in alive since I'm in need of some cash (only have maybe $300). Anywho, I obviously shot him in the leg to disable him, and I threw the lasso on him. As I hit him with the lasso and tied him up, a pack of cougars rushed out and mangled him alive, whilst I still had the lasso on him. Quite impressive, that was until the cougars turned their attention to me. I shit a brick, fumbled through the weapons menu, and consequently was also mauled to death.
Good times.

A few things:
1) The single-player must rank as one of the finest I've played. Great missions, and the world is just incredible. Sometimes you find yourself just stopping to appreciate the view. Faggy I know but I can't be the only one.
2) If they ever made a film of this, Landon Ricketts would have to be played by Sam Elliot.

Finally got the game tonight and by Jesus is it some game. From the intro right up to where I just saved it I've enjoyed every minute. I think I'm walking the road of a good guy right now as I've done at least 2 missions with the Sheriff, but I am ready to snap and wreck the place.
Apart from that like most I'm just getting used to the controls and checking out the town. One night I decided to hit the saloon, had 5 fast ones and fell into the poker room where I cleaned their clocks. By the time I finished it was bright outside so I decided to have 2 quick ones for the road as he was sobered up and she was a long drive. Wasn't to be though and he ended up falling out the doors into the street where I ended up finding some fella playing knives for $25 a pop and we said we'd take a gamble, between me and the brother we got cleaned out and went on our way hunting.
One more thing I want to say is regards the random events going on, they really are magic. My first one was as I was returning to town I came across a stagecoach getting held up. I flew past ready to mind my own business only for the sly bastards to start shooting at me and the horse. I wasn't long turning around and sorting them out but as I was tearing the place up I shoot some bird who was standing beside the Coach in the chest, I really didn't even mean it, I was just giving it loads in general, but anyways, she started taking flight back towards the town, holding the wound and limping.
So not sure how this would look on my record I decided to catch up with her and give her a belt of the horse which knocked her to the ground, I gave it a minute and when I didn't see her moving I headed off into the sunset.
This game has a Shenmue feel off it big time!!!

Original?

Is it possible to play your own music while playing a game on the PS3? Obviously, I can just do it on my PC but that's more hassle.

Original I heard somewhere custom soundtracks were possible. I know most will be going for Morricone, and that's understandable, but the scores of films like The Proposition and Tombstone would be high on my list.
That being said, I really think the soundtrack of the game is pretty good. I mean it was never going to be Morricone-like, but for a game you can't really knock it.

I came across a guy shooting birds and he challenged me that I can't kill so many in period of time. I put a bet on and won. I come across another guy (a few hours further into the game) with the same challenge, but with a more dfficult objective. I kill all the birds. I turn my attention away from the birds and look down to where he was. I look around and he's trying to run off with my money. I hunt him down, kill him and take my winning, plus all he had on him. Brilliant!

Caught me totally off guard that ending :laugh: Think it clearly shows the effort they have put in into the side/incidental missions.
Nope. I have to admit that I've been killed by the wildlife far too often whilst admiring some of the views. Bears & Cougars being the main culprits.
This also has to be one of the first titles I've ever played where I don't want to skip any of the cutscenes. Even the banter while travelling in mission is fantastic. I love the fact that if you fail & have to restart a journey that large portions of the chatter are different, but still relevant to your progress. The level of detail is astounding.

I quite like playing poker on this game, albeit I've only played once, I guess it's just the Wild West atmosphere that creates an aura of underhandedness.
Had a nice little rummage around on the game this past hour or so. I was hoping to head towards Thieve's Landing, but a side mission side-tracked me in a major way. I'm in no rush to reach Thieve's Landing, and the side-mission involved helping a nice elderly man pick a variety of flowers for his ill wife. The only problem is that to pick these wild flowers, including Red Sage and another type which escapes me right now, I needed to travel to Rio Bravo and Gaptooth's Ridge, both of which were a distant journey to the other side of the map. I opted to get a carriage (first time) to Rio Bravo to pick the Red Sage flowers which seemed to be going fine - until a pack of wolves decided to attack me, I'm talking approximately 5-7 wolves, no chance. I respawned back at MacFarline's Ranch. I switched the console off.
