Forums - Gaming - Huge Red Dead Redemption mistake!

from the american heritage dictionary.....However, "bison" is a Greek word meaning ox-like animal, while "buffalo" originated with the French fur trappers who called these massive beasts bœufs, meaning ox or bullock – so both names, "bison" and "buffalo," have a similar meaning. In reference to this animal, the term "buffalo," which dates to 1635, has a much longer history than the term "bison," which was first recorded in 1774.

So my conclusion would be that the word "Huge" in the title is not really necessary.

I guess the real mistake in the game is that there actually are buffalos/bisons.

Red dead redemption is set in the year 1911, and at that time there was pretty much not a single bison left in the USA. Within just a few decades in the 19th century, dozens of million bisons were killed, and by 1902 there were only 23 left in whole north America. A guy called George Bird Grinnell saved the species by taking them to a safe area - if it hadn't been for this guy, the bison would have been distinct by 1911.

Those are all bison heads:

That's why there are only 20 buffalos/bisons in the game and you get an achievement/trophy for killing all of them.

wait what? i killed more then 20 and i dont have a trophy!



Being in 3rd place never felt so good

You probably have missed one buffalo somewhere then



you're wrong mister grammar nazi.

Both bison and bisons are correct plural forms. Get yourself a better dictionary...
