I was working on a survival journal challenge in Tall Trees, picking Hummingbird Sage, when I saw a bear running at me. I pulled out my shotgun and disposed of it. Then, as I'm running back to my horse, I see another bear charging at me. I kill it. And what's that? Another bear? ... 15 bears later, I seem to finally be alone. |

Dynamite is also nice. It's also very handy in the game. |

I threw it at some Mexican cop. He survived and killed me. |

I don't know. If you're going to try it out, make sure when you throw the dynamite itself that it doesn't hit your target, only land near it. It damages when it hits and when it explodes. I finished that challenge simply enough with a shotgun. |

Pretty much anything with a head-shot to the bear will kill it in one hit. |

Yeah, probably. I'll probably take a while out of doing the missions with his family to finish the challenges. |

I still haven't had a chance to play the single player of red Dead much, because everyone is playing multiplayer. Another problem, I can't seem to join public free roam maps, I keep getting kicked out because of "connection issues" with other players. But when I'm in a private match it's fine... Other than that, the game is terrific... |

I haven't actually fired up the multiplayer mode yet. There's a good chance I might never. |

It's fun, especially if you have friends who play it online. I've been meaning to ask, how is the PSN? I think you may have said before though... |

It's good. Most of my mates have Xbox's (the cads) so I don't have a huge number of friends on it, but the online multiplayer in the games I play online - Killzone 2 and COD - has always been good even though I'm just playing with random people, and the quality of online multiplayer. matches in COD is better on the PS3 in my experience. I use the KEN tag quite often when I'm playing it, and those guy's are always a laugh. As for the quality of the connection, that's generally pretty good as well. |

I'm just wondering if the Xbox live connection you get is actually worth what you pay for versus the PSN's. People keep saying the PSN sucks but I haven't heard many people actually complain about it. |

To many this does not, but no...it's brilliant. Seriously though, I meant the PSN seems to be a running gag on some other community sites I visit but I've not met anyone who actually has complained about the PSN. That better? |

I kinda understood you the first time, so meh. In response, generally the only people who bitch about the PSN being useless are those who have Xbox's. In my experience, from owning a PS3 and playing plenty of Xbox at mates houses, the PSN has a few advantages - 1. The match connection seems to be more reliable, as games get disconnected less and it lags less. Part of this may be just that I've got good broadband though. However, the number of games ending prematurely is due to whoever is hosting the game not just me, so I'd say the PSN is definitely more reliable connection wise. 2. The match quality, particularly on COD, is better in my experience. My guess is that this is because the 360's earlier release and cheaper price meant that more n00b's and younger players (not that their necessarily bad at the game, just immature and annoying, as well as less likely to play tactically) purchased/had purchased for them by their parents, while the PS3 was bought primarily by people willing to pay more and wait for what they considered a better machine. 3. It's free. According to friends the Xbox community aspect for keeping in contact with friends etc is better, but as most of my mates have the 360 and I've got a PS3 that's always been a moot point for me. Any help? |

1. That's probably it, I thought I had a good connection but somethings tell me otherwise. Like Red Dead's hatred of me playing public games, or their servers suck. 2. Also seems very true, also xbox live has more people, so you're more likely to get the bottom of the barrel people. 3. You get what you pay for with the PSN then. :lol: Seemed helpful. |

1. I should say however that the difference in connection quality isn't enough to make buying a PS3 as well/in replacement worth it. 2. Nah, if it was a question of number of users then there'd be no difference. Sales figures are 40mil/36mil so there's not a significant gap for one thing. Plus the logic for that doesn't make much sense, as total number of players won't effect the ratio of good/bad. Sure the may be more bad people on the 360 (say 400,000 if we assume 10% of users are 'bad') there'll be a proportionately comparable number of good people. 3. Yup. A more reliable system with better players, for less money. I can't help but notice that everyone who bought an Xbox at the launch (for $400) and later criticized the PS3 for being expensive (at $600) has now spent more on their Xbox, assuming they wanted to play mulitplayer and thus forked out for Xbox Live Gold (at $50 a year) having spent $650 in comparison to the PS3's $600. |
