I was thinking last night when I was playing that It would be sweet to have a rodeo.. I mean all they would have to do is use the mechanics from the horse breaking and up it z bit.

Fucking whores and then killing them and stealing their money.

Graboids from Tremors

Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Take me home (Oh, won't you please take me home)

Aiming should be better. A dot as a reticule isnt great, and you should be able to zoom in since enemies are hard to see. Auto-aim should stay the same when riding on horses though.
I agree the game should pause when selecting weapons, and I also wish the cut scenes were more engaging a la Fallout 3/Mass Effect 2.
But seriously, this is the best open-world game of this generation. Its so awesome.

The only things that come to mind are in multiplayer

I want to get drunk with a friend, and be drunk a lot longer like in GTA IV.

quality control and bug testers.

ALL singleplayer features in the free roam. I want to play poker and other things with my friends. and i want some actual missions you can do in co op ( besides hideouts and stuff).

I was upset when I found the bars in MP don't serve drinks.

I wanted to get a posse and all get drunk and have a fist fight.

That would be good for a laugh.

Whats Missing from RDR? Fun

i'd like to see some spontaneous saloon shoot-outs.

or maybe some of the outlaws you take down on bounty hunts might have friends/relatives that now will try and take you out when you run into them.

we should have the ability (at some point) to challenge NPCs to duels.

maybe break up the game world into territories and have each one run by a boss and his gang. each boss could have his own special MO and weapons preference. you could have choices to make such as ride with a gang and carry out criminal missions or fight on the side of "law and order" and try to take out the boss (shootout or duel).

this game has given me everything, i enjoy every bit of it , those funny easter eggs like donkey women ,zombies , flying ppl planted by rockstar make this game more awesome . this game is just awesome

I think the ability to swim would be nice. It would be cool to take a raft down the rapids near Tall Trees. Or, maybe escape a Bounty Hunter by taking a leap of faith off a cliff into the river, Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid style.

Oh, and more fist fights!

Swimming is definitely missing. Also being able to do stunt moves on your horse and the train like the stunts in Just Cause 2 would be cool. Still waiting to find a Delorian in the wilderness, I know the game takes place in 1911 not 1855, but it would have been a cool easter egg.

online poker, climbing trees, etc...

racing was a feature that i too was dissapointed to see wasnt there, racing your horse online with other online people would be fun, you could see people shooting at each others horses.

Non Deadly Water.

like CJ's in GTA san andreas.get fat.stay thin.bulk up with muscle.become super skinny.given the fact Niko couldnt change..it might be a limitation of the rage engine.maybe,customisable clothes.like CJ's.individual changes,hat,mask,shirt,pants,s hoes.

i would have loved it if you met the 3 Amigo's, your wandering randomly thru the Mexican desert and you hear singing in the distance you see 3 men riding towards you and they are singing the 3 Amigos theme tune. that would be hilarious.

"we are the three aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa migo's"

then you get to join them on thier way to El gupo's hideout, seeing the singing bush and the invisible swordsman (and accidently killing him yourself) then unlocking one of thier outfits.

thats what i want lol. and maybe meeting some more famous characters from back then, billy the kid, wild bill, bat masterson, jesse james gang, wyatt earp ect.

They should have do a better story. The missions suck balls, there's not even one that that gets you pumped up, they're just plain and boring and John Marston have to be the lamest gunsliger ever, he kept treathening people in the game but never do shit to them, he's taken for a fool by everyone in the game and he even got killed for being a fool. Shame on you Rockstar this is the shittiest story you have ever written and think the shortest one too. Hell even the original Red Dead Revolver has better story than this. Oh and Jack Marston has to be the whiniest Gunslinger ever voiced.

i finished the story and side quest but now im so bored. i wish it was more like oblivion / fallout 3. awful game interface as well. i wont trade or sell because im sure rockstar will put out DLC. i just want more stuff to do. like GTA 4 i have tons of money and nothing to buy!!!

Most games on PS3, we are aiming with L1 and shooting with R1. - In Red Dead Redemption, they decided that we have to aim with L2, and shoot with R2.

It's infuriating, ruin a otherwise great game with crappy porting of a control-system.
I doub't I will spend more time on it than the three hours I played, until they patch in a alternative shooting-configuration.

It's quiet sad playing it again as you know John Marston on borrowed time, also I think he's one of the best game characters I've played in a long time.
