    Yeah, I accidentally found this out at lunch just now. Apparently you get the Blood Pact for Death once you earn him during the game, then finishing the challenges gets you the other 3 Blood Pacts (which I needed Death to do). So if you lose Death, you don't need to find him again, you've got his Blood Pact. Now I'm off to find the Unicorn....

    I am going to finally start playing this game, but before I do, I must ask this:

    Are there ANY points in the game where if you don't know about them, you can miss/progress past them with no chance to go back and see them unless you restart your game all over from the beginning?

    I faintly remember hearing about there being some old man grave robber thing that if you don't know about it, you can completely miss it.

    My brother got this game for Christmas, and he has become addicted to it.

    Memory is vague on this, but you're right. There is one scene with the main character interacting with a man (I won't go into many details here) that if you miss it the first time around, it's gone afterwards.

    I honestly don't remember when/how it occurs, just that it can be missed and impossible to access again unless you start fresh. I know this because it happened to me. I've since checked the scene on youtube (didn't have to start over) and I think it's an awesome scene. There are so many way to interpret it and I love that.

    You'd have to check on gamefaqs or something to get the details on how to see it, though. Either way, RDR is a MUST PLAY game. I'd say it sits in my top three of the best games I've ever played. And I've played a shitload of games in my 32 years :)

    I've beat this game twice and I love it. Some parts are a bit freaky and will scare you if you have all the lights off and tv turned up etc. I've played the undead but I have trouble with that part of the game cause I keep getting caught.

    I installed this game last night. HOLY CRAP is the world huge, and there's so much to do, even for multiplayer!

    I may be spending more time just taking everything in than actually playing. I gotta see all that can be done, all that I can do! Oh God, I hope this game has an introductory tutorial. There's just so much...SO MUCH.

    The game's amazing. They have tutorials as you go, but I would keep playing the main story until the whole map is open.

    Also, Undead Nightmare is one of the best expansions for anything ever.

    I recall my first 10 minutes with RDR...

    jump on a horse
    ride into the sunset
    fall down a cliff while on the horse
    horse dead
    wrong button; start skinning my horse
    walk on foot in the middle of nowhere
    hear a noise; decide to investigate
    turns out it's a cougar
    I die.

    God I gotta play that game again :)

    I didn't play last night. Instead, I spent hours on the wiki learning about a ghost town and all sorts of legendary creatures.

    I think I'll finally start playing tonight when I get home.

    Just read through some reactions to this news. Naturally some people aren't happy that it isn't a remaster and that it still won't come to PC. Add to the fact that it's $50, and that's basically Rockstar being Rockstar. I'm going to wait until this game gets a sale on Switch, hopefully for $30 at most.

    Seeing how PC isn’t available I’ll probably get it on Switch at $30 too.
