Man, i know exactly how you feel. my old xbox broke, and i remember giving away my old red dead. now having an xbox360, i learned about backwards compatibility. I remember how much fun it was so i rented it off gamefly. Having no sort of issues all the way up to level 8 really surprised me. All of a sudden, kapow! frozen. i kill all the guys protecting bad bessie, and then the second i get a shot off at her it just freezes the hell out of me. It is so unbelievably frustrating having to do all that work over and over again hoping to have it work out maybe this time. maybe this time? no, this time? NO! and so thanks, maybe i can get through just by shooting at a distance.
