Red Dead Redemption

[The ill Jedi]

I wish Sam Elliot would have voiced that old American gunslinger that was living in Mexico. That would have been so cool....

I was thinking the same thing when I met that guy!

Anybody got a good strategy in playing that dice game. I cant seem to understand that game. I feel like Im randomly guessing.

That's all it really is, a guessing game. The way I've one is by counting a certain number of die that I rolled and just adding one or two to that.

I finished the game last night. Can I just say that I loved the music in this game.

Spoiler

When you finally get to head home and see your family

..that song that played was wonderful. I raced all the way home!

And then the last song during the credits. I cried. Yes, I cried. I would have preferred a different ending....but will say that this one does really grip you.

I did manage to get the Legend of the West outfit. Man, that last sharpshooter challenge was a pain in the ass.

I have to be honest though and say that in my opinion, ME2 beats this game by a hair.

Wonder if they will do a sequel...

Spoiler

maybe with Jack following in his father's footsteps

?

Is this the song?

I've been doing pretty good on the dice game. Here's my take.

The more dice on the table the less likely I am to either call a bluff or call a guy dead on. I try to make my own bid or hope that somebody else calls the bluff thereby risking their die and not my own.

As the number of dice on the table decreases I am better able to discern what the opponents are likely to have and force them into making bold bluffs. I rarely bluff myself. If I have two 6's I don't throw out there a bid of four 6s. I just state my two and see if someone calls it. Remember when you throw our a bid you are stating that there are AT LEAST that many of a die. You don't have to be right on. In fact if you are right on and someone calls you on being dead right you lose a die. So I try to purposefully be conservative and undercut the amount on the table if possible.

Nope that wasn't it. I'll see if I can find it.

I figured out the rules while watching POTC2: Dead Man's Chest. If you bluff high right off, the computer will pretty much be forced to bluff higher, then you call his bluff, and you'll win. It's called Liar's Dice for a reason, you have to lie to win. I've only played one game, the one that you have to do for the stranger, but it was easy enough and a I won right off.

If the guy says "I've got one 2" you say "I've got two 2s" and then he'll says "I've got three 2s" and you call his bluff. It's much less likely he has more of the same die face than one of a higher die face. If he says "Two 5s", I'd say "One 6" and he'd have to say "Two 6s" and I'd call his bluff.

I'm no expert though. . . your mileage may vary.

As long as the next player either stays at the previous # bid or goes higher I think they can change the face all they want.

For example, if you said two 2s, he can say two 3s and the next person can say two 6s. But when it gets back to you you would have to up to three of something (your choice of face) because you already ante'd 2 the previous round.

I think you may have encountered the easy table when you made you audacious bid and they didn't call you. I think there are more difficult tables around the map that won't make the same mistake.

And of course the best moment in the game is Jose Gonzalez's song entering Mexico. Far Away.
