It has to be public. You can't leave prior to 6am and can't arrive past 5pm. It took me around 4-5 hours in game to get from one to another. I left around 8am. You have to go from center of city to center of city.

Sooo...it's basically impossible to commit crime in a city without having to pay a big ass bounty, huh? What a crock of shit.

Man just when i think this game was over, it keeps going. Which is a good thing. Im 85% done, playing time of 4 days 6 hours 36 minutes, and im not even done with the story.

I seem to get loading issues when my xbox is hot. Well my room gets hot, and after a while ive been playing. Textures load in late, maybe its a combination of heat, and me using one of the fastest horses in the game. IDK. But on rare occasions my guy will freeze and then it will go a second later. Like if im running from the great plains into the blackwater town.

I've had a couple of freezing issues. Other than that, the game ran smoothly for me.

I had quite a bit of freezing issues, especially on the last mission in Mexico. I ended up uninstalling the game and didnt have any more freezes. Maybe it was a botched install, but once I cleared it off the drive and played from the disc, everything was perfect.

I finished the story just about 20 minutes ago. I still have a lot to do (mainly stranger missions/collecting), and while I think the game is great and easily my GOTY right now, I felt the single player story structure was exceptionally easy. Definitely the easiest GTA-style game in Rockstars catalogue. The challenge just wasnt there. I breezed through 99% of the missions on my first try.

Multiplayer is fantastic and eons better than GTAIV's. I hope the mission structure and challenge is fleshed out a bit more in the next Red Dead.

All in all a solid 9/10 for me. I did find some of the missions near the end of the game a bit tedious though.

I completely understand and like the fact that they have you do some missions back home with the family. It just annoyed me it was more herding and horsebreaking style crap. I liked the hunting missions with Jack as it set up the end of the story poignantly and made perfect sense.

I just spend minutes roaming the country side collecting pelts or plants lol. I've accumulated $5,000 at the moment! The random encounters were a great idea as well.

Duuude I'm loving Mexico right now. I really wish my dad had a 360, this is the perfect game for him as he watches me play all the time lol. He hardly pulls up a chair and watches for solid 10 minutes with any game I play (he has so many westerns it isn't funny).

I've found myself just watching the sun rise and set and the weather system is pretty awe inspiring as well.

Experienced my first thunderstorm in-game yesterday.... really well done. Then went and did the burning and noticed that they even glossed over the characters to make them look wet in the rain in a very believable way. Attention to details like that are really impressive... (although then I find a lady of the night bug where she is leaning on thin air... win some, lose some)

It's an award. It's in the attic of John's house. There's a ladder in the kitchen pantry up to it.

Anybody else notice that when you lookup at the sky while it's Raining that your screen appears to have a ton of rain drops on it?

Yeah, they made it so it's like water on a camera lens.

i wonder how they program the distance of the blood and water when it hits "the camera lens." because you dont want the blood/water to close or to far away. and depth perception plays a role and so much more.

It's my own fault for looking around, but someone (on another forum) didn't use a spoiler tag and ruined a critical part of the game plot for me.

EDIT:

For those who haven't experienced a storm, use the change weather cheat. It's worth it

I don't know if it's a scripted storm or not, having only played it once (edit: Checked it out and it's not scripted, I just got lucky). But when you're first riding into Mexico and that song is playing and for me it in a driving rainstorm at night, it was amazingly beautiful.

It was easily the highlight of the game for me so far (I'm almost done with Mexico):

You rode into Mexico? I took some Ferry thing while getting ambushed. I never heard this song playing. It would have been nice to.

It wasn't raining for me, but it was still a cool moment riding along a cavern with the song playing in the background

It plays right after that.

Once you get off the ferry with Irish and climb on a horse it starts playing. You may have missed it if you immediately fast traveled after that.

Same for me, I love that song too, went perfectly with the rain, though I don't think it always rains during that.
