Though I give them many points for well written dialogue.

"Damn you."
"Many have."

about as substantial as fog
he would gleefully beam
while the others did scream
as he fed them alive to the dogs

I actually preferred the writing in this to any of the GTA games. They really captured the Western movie feel and I like all the nods to the films. My favorite has to be when you're hanging out with the old gunslinger in Mexico and playing cards. When the Mexican Standoff starts and the German guy says "There ought to be a name for this." I had to pause the game because I couldn't stop laughing.

That said, I've been trying to count all the film references. I've caught the nods to Rio Bravo, There Will Be Blood and the Man with No Name series.

The Mexico Campaign is somewhat similar to A Fistful of Dollars in that you're working for both sides.

I haven't been differentiating between Red Dead and GTA (Grand Theft Horse maybe?) but I do have to agree that the writing is excellent, even beyond Rockstar's normal standards.

Fistful was the first in the Man with No Name trilogy, so I already included it. :P

Where'd you find the damn bears? I spent two hours at bearclaw camp dropping bait and got nothing. Then I got bored and played COD.

The bears you kill with your knife? I didn't have to look for them long. Just ride around in Tall Trees, and you're sure to get ambushed. If for some reason you really can't find them, ride around especially at Nekoti Rock and Bearclaw Camp. I didn't have to use bait for bears.

Lack of bears was never a problem for me, unfortunately.

I got ambushed by boars a few times, but no bears. I've only ever met the two mission based ones.
