What funny/random moments have you seen?

-I shot a buck that was running full speed, and it flew threw the air, plowing into a random guy walking by, killing him.

-I shot a deer and it slid down the side of a very steep tall high. I hopped off my horse to skin the deer, and I slid down as well, barely surviving. After I found and skinned the deer, I whistled to my horse (a nice $750 golden one) hoping it would find it's away around down to me. I hear a loud nay, and look up to see a horse leaping to it's death.

-I discovered that cougars don't like being teabagged. I got attacked by one and narrowly managed to kill it before it killed me. For a laugh (my girlfriend was watching me play) I went to teabag it's dead body. Out of nowhere, another cougar flies at me and knocks me over. I managed to kill that one, and then skin it. I go back to the first cougar to commence operation teabag, when out of nowhere, again, another cougar tackles me!

-I stopped to help a lady needing help at a horse carriage on the side of the road. Surprise, ambush. I kill all her thugs, and as she begs me not to kill her, I hogtied her and threw on my horse. I then took her to the train tracks and dumped her there, and watched the train make her go splat. The surprising part? There's actually an achievement for doing exactly that.

-Funny glitch or something. I shot a deer and flew 20 feet or so straight up in the air.

-Pushed a prostitute down a flight of stairs. Euphoria is fun.

-Not really funny or random, but I found that if you draw your weapon on someone, they will draw theirs as well. They'll even start that little talk that you see in stand off moments in movies. If you back off, they will back off as well. I dunno.... That's just so real to me. It's like the NPC AI can actually rationalize instead of just going ballistic anytime you brandish a gun, even after you've holstered it.

So, let's get some stories going! I love reading this stuff!

it's a pornography store. i was buying pornography.

Haha you & I think alike because that happened to me & I did the exact same thing. I was surprised that I earned a trophy for that one lol.

Man, I fail at being a criminal. I tried to get the Dastardly achievement earlier, and waited a good 10 minutes for a train.

Problem is, I didn't think it through enough, and left her on the tracks in front of a train station. The Train stopped within 2 inches of her, not killing her, and not giving me the achievement when it started up again.

I was riding my horse and I'm being chased by a coyote. I take out my rifle and I shoot at him while still riding but he got to close to my horse. I figured out that one rifle shot to the arse of your horse while running at full speed kills him instantly.

Also I'm in Armadillo and I pay for a $2 movie. I come out of the theater and the first thing I see is a dog full blown pizzing on a big old rock.

I was doing the mission where you save Bonnie from being hanged. I was killing off all the bandits.
This was on my second try. I go for cover behind some sort of well. Marston slides to cover then all of a sudden he's sent hiiiiiiiigh in the air. Then, he's falling down screaming, and I die. Wow.

[–] Littlebitsofgaming 15 years ago

I was walking through a town (Armadilo I think) and went past the saloon. There was an agrument with a guy and a whore goin on.
I just stood there and listend, then the guy got really angry jumped on the whore and stabbed her to death.
I think I was supposed to save her, but it was just so funny listening in.

Also, it's great fun going into a saloon and selecting you fists and starting a good ole' bar brawl.

Another cowboy classic I can't stop doing is hitching my horse at a post with a blacony above it. Get on the balcony then jump off onto the horse...classic.

Ride your horse at full speed (without it bucking you) for around 5 mins. Then get off and walk around, Marston walks funny cos he is saddle sore.

Capture someone, hogtie them then put them on the train tracks and await the carnage.

The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he is God.

[–] atg_commish 8 years ago

I captured them, took them to my room, and the marshall showed up, but took a bribe to look the other way.

[–] jon_lajoie 15 years ago

I charged my horse off a cliff. It was awesome watching that thing fall. I survived said fall, and proceeded to skin the animal.

I...drink...your...MILKSHAKE!

I DRINK IT UP!!!

Haha yeah I've had that happen a few times.

I had another weird occurence tonight.

I was riding around in north new Austin hunting for boars and cougars, when I noticed a man nealt down in the distance. I rode towards him to see what was going on. He was looking at a dead woman, and he was crying. As I rode away down the hill, I hear a gunshot. Startled, I race back uphill to investigate again. The man had shot himself.

Now is that not weird? And this happened way way out in the middle of nowhere. Did I just witness a murder-suicide? That was one of the strangest things I've seen in a videogame.

I have seen that a few times.
There are a lot of things like that in the game.

Random things going on that you may miss. It just adds more to the whole feeling of the world being "alive".

Something just happend to me.
I was just out riding, not doing much and another guy on a horse said "Howdy" so I replied (love doing that). He then got off his horse and dissapeared behind a rock. So I went to see what he was doing, I walk around the rock and there the guy is taking a p!ss. He got a bit upset when I found him though...but it was funny.

[–] The_Haitian_Sensation 15 years ago

wow, reading these moments I didn't realize how big of a game RDR is. I'm definitely buying it.

I wish my lawn was emo so it can cut itself.

[–] running_blind5784 15 years ago

I'd seen someone kneeling over a dead body weeping before, but this was the first time I had seen it so far away from anybody. And certainly the first time I'd seen the person commit suicide! That's just like.... whoa! Awesome crazy!

I like replying too lol. Actually I like beating them to the punch and saying howdy first, or just bumping into them and making John say "open your eyes mister!" just for the sake of getting a conversation started.

that's pretty funny about the dude taking a piss. I have yet to see anyone outside of west dickens pissing in that one cutscene.

Hey Haitian! Long time no see! Yeah this game is pretty much a 10 on the epic scale. Got some bugs here and there, but I hear rockstar is working on a patch. Other than that, the game is great. Some of the bugs and glitches are pretty funny anyway. I definitely recommend this game, especially since you liked gta.

Anybody like playing games at the saloon? My favorite at the moment is liar's dice. My least favorite is five finger fillet. Hold 'em is fun, black Jack is eh, and I really don't get horseshoes. I can't ever get the damn things anywhere near the target!!!

Oh, and the movie house is TOTALLY worth the $2 admission! Funny stuff!

[–] ReflectedGlory 15 years ago

Jesus! I got the game on release day but have had limited time to play it. These are great stories and seems like there is more to do in saloons than I realized. That's it, I'm going on a marathon this weekend.

Back off man. I'm a scientist.

i saw a guy peeing against a wall, made me laugh

[–] badhuman99 15 years ago

i was in mexico when i saw a man jump off a horse and run funny towards a bush and start peeing. i also saw the suicide but when i saw it it was a women crying over a man i wanted to shoot the gun out of her hand but i was too late. i hope this happens again.

[–] running_blind5784 15 years ago

Hmmm, shooting the gun out of their hand... good idea. I'll try it out if the oppurtunity arises again.

[–] Fwank_The_Nutter 15 years ago

I shot my horse in the head while riding it. I didn't think it was possible.

I was supposed to help some guy get his wife back to him, so I hogtied her and dropped her on the floor in front of him, then I shot her in the head. He was still there later, willing to help me for $5.

A posse member shot his friend in the back when he walked in front of him.

I had a fistfight with a bull. You can try bullfighting when it charges.

I'm going to try and lasso someone on the train and drag them behind it.

How do you respond to people?

[–] Littlebitsofgaming 15 years ago

How do you respond to people?

On the 360 it's the B button.
Circle button on the PS3.

Also, you have to be close-ish to someone, and you don't have to respond, you can get in first and have them reply.
You say different things depending on the time of day and where you are and who you speak to.

I still enjoy walking through a town tapping the button when someone comes close or rides by.

[–] Fwank_The_Nutter 15 years ago

Cool, thanks. I'm gonna say something before I punch them in the face (do they ever die or stay down from a beating?). I tried once where I kicked a woman so many times the lawmen came, but I don't know if she died.

[–] TheNotChosenOne 14 years ago

I shot a bear, and it did a soumersault.

If i go into certain areas of Mexico, all the mexicans get out of their carriages or horses and run away from me.

I seen't you rip a mans jawbone off! I SEEN'T IT!

[–] spawny0908 15 years ago

I agree with the horseshoes. No wonder they made getting a ringer an achievement, also the movie is awesome I can watch that over and over! I saw guys taking a piss before too. Now THAT's attention to detail! The call of nature! XD

[–] letyaga3682 13 years ago

I was standing at the edge of a really high cliff. I whistled to get my horse. It galloped at high speed towards me, whizzed by and... flew into the abyss! WTF! As I was watching at its splashed body at the bottom, I heard a wolf snarling behind me. I turned around reaching for my gun but it was a little too late - the wolf jumped at me sending me flying right after my horse into the deep... Un-be-lievable!

[–] spawny0908 15 years ago

Out of effing nowhere a horse and buggy fell from the sky. everyone died (horses too). Also while wearing the duster coat when you help stranger the tail of the coat goes through John.

[–] barricade 15 years ago

I'm with McLane, in Armadillo, I bought the room above the saloon and wanted to see if you could jump onto the horse from the balcony. One of the nicest surprises in a game I've had.

Plus, when you see that guy at the camp and he asks you to go see the old guy as his property has water under it, I came back, saw a buck near his camp so thought I'd bag it for his horns. Well, the camper screamed when I fired the gun, ran off up the path, right in front of a wagon coming down the hill. He got bowled over and killed. Kinda strange plus I failed the mission.

What is up homie?

[–] nazgriz 15 years ago

I saw a guy riding his horse standing up. Most likely a glitch but funny nonetheless :)

[–] sanss_soleil 15 years ago

I helped a woman whose wagon was stolen. When I gave it back to her she started to ride away but then stopped and kept jumping up and down in her wagon. She did not stop. I think this was a glitch.

I fell in a mine shaft and died. That was very funny.

Freak out in a moonage daydream oh yeah!

[–] badhuman99 15 years ago

tried shooting the gun out of their hands. it didn't work the bullet ricochet off the gun. i also noticed that they don't always shoot themselves over the body but sometimes drink poison and die. plus i noticed the dogs also pee. funny. and a ton of people have reported strange sounds in the town of tumbleweed and at about 6pm you can apparently see a bunch of bats flying from the house

[–] The_paranoid_android 15 years ago

During the climactic duel with Ross, I was waiting for the duel to start when I saw my horse just suddenly wander behind Ross, submerge itself fully in the water, and drown. I couldn't keep myself from laughing so hard that I completely missed the duel.
