Greedish posted:I am really sad I missed the Mexico song. I watched it on Youtube but it's just not the same if you're not experiencing. I got on the horse, but then got off and called mine since mine was faster. I guess that broke it? If it's any consolation, with all the hype on that scene I built it up as too much in my mind before I saw it. I was still impressed, I guess. But it definitely lacked the impact if I would have never seen it coming.

This will be the first Xbox Live game I've actually wanted to play, but how do you use the Metatags? I've added RedDeadGoons2 as a friend and logged in to accept myself, but it just shows up on XBL as a friend that never logs on. What am I doing wrong?

You need to view his personal info which will give you the "view friends" option. Go through that and find Goons playing RDR and add them as friends. Speaking of...other than just roaming around with people the MP aspects are pretty shite. I entered a game and BOOM sniped from afar by some douche. Spawned again and BOOM headshot within half a second. Can they just loving not put a sniper class in one goddamned multiplayer game please?

I just got a stranger task in Armadillo, really early in the game. Where in hell is Hanging Rock? I can't find it on the map e: never mind, just hadn't gotten to the 'stranger tasks purple dot" instruction yet, so the dot wasn't there

Hey You Pifuckyou! posted:Well gently caress, just had my first crash in 25 hours of playing this game, right after the Mexico mission where you're betrayed by the army and Reyes saves you. And I mean right after, the cutscene ended with Marston walking away and voila - black screen and nothing. Mine did the exact same thing in the same spot the first time. After rebooting and doing the mission over it worked fine. Brightman posted:Also I feel like I saw something written or carved somewhere that might be the beastmaster cheat (it wasn't the one for the horse spawn, I already got that one). I'll go look for it later but it might be nothing. In the church in Tumbleweed, the phrase 'the devil has got into that beast' is carved in to the pulpit. It could be just a foreboding message but the fact that we know there's a cheat called 'Beastmaster' makes me thing it's a cheat code -- however, it says it's not valid when you enter it. Rockstar messed up on a couple of the codes with punctuation errors though, so it might still be possible.

You can see it from a distance. It's a medium sized rock formation with a tree/noose on it. It's kind of prominent from a distance so it shouldn't be too hard to spot. It's not huge or anything...just like 10 feet tall.

End Game Spoilers Ahoy I actually like playing as Jack at the end. While John is a great protagonist and one of my favorite characters ever, I actually got too attached to him and couldn't play him as anything but a bad-guy-turned-good. Jack is more of a blank slate and even though his voice work leaves a little to be desired, my conscious doesn't reel at the thought of him gunning down a stage coach like it did with John

I don't know if it's been mentioned but there is a way past the weapon wheel if you can't switch without being killed. The pause menu, and go to the weapons option. In there it has an option to equip selected weapon.

BonoMan posted:Can they just loving not put a sniper class in one goddamned multiplayer game please? Agreed. I just want one game without them. Snipers are the worst kind of people. Using a sniper rifle makes every multiplayer game into the exact same experience (for the shooter). 1)Hide as far from the action as possible 2)target distant moving objects 3)pull trigger 4)repeat until you die 5)respawn and do it all over again You lose all the nuance of what makes individual games unique when you see it all through the distant scope of rifle. I honestly don't get the appeal.

Zero Karizma posted:Agreed. I just want one game without them. Because everyone has to be a sniper so it matches their xX1337SN1P3RXx gamertag. Personally I don't understand it either, when I do use a sniper rifle I'm usually still close enough to get shot as well. I also tend to switch positions after every shot.

BonoMan posted:What am I missing about Liar's Dice? It seems loving retarded. You're not calling anybody's bluff because everyone is really just guessing. We had a similar game called Bullshit, but it was based on cards. And that way when someone claimed they had something you COULD call their bluff because you could possible have, say, 3 aces and they say they have 2. Thus it wouldn't add up and you call bullshit. You're missing playing it with actual human beings instead of a computer. Get some friends together and play it and have a lot more fun. The AI in Red Dead for liar's dice is stupid and will literally never call spot-on, and will often place absurd bids that couldn't possibly be true. Playing with actual people is tons of fun.

A couple of awesome things toward the end of Mexico: Beating the poo poo out of De Santa cutscene was pretty hardcore. Also if you choose to walk away once you're done you make it about 10 steps before you hear the gunshot. Goddamn beautifully timed. Conversation with Reyes en route to some checkpoint:  : *joking* "I hope since we're friends you'll let me know if you plan to kill me" : *dead serious* "Oh don't worry, you'll be the first to know if I decide to kill you"edit: a little late, but great job on the OP, OP. fishtobaskets fucked around with this message at 17:26 on May 28, 2010 |

I'm sure it's a bit more fun, but I'm talking about the objective of the game. Guess how many dice are on the table. Someone might say you're guess is wrong. It might be wrong..it might not. It's not a "bluff" because even you don't know if you're right or wrong. I think it would just be more fun if it was with cards and you could actually really bluff. Oh well.

Zero Karizma posted:Agreed. I just want one game without them. The only game I enjoyed sniping (and that require a bit of skill due to wind/bullet drop and where to position yourself on the terrain) was Delta Force 1/2. That game had a wicked audio engine (or w/e) for it's time , everyone on the map (Maps were unlimited, they were just voxel tiles of terrain repeated forever) knew when a sniper shot, so the sniper had to move his rear end because no doubt someone would hunt that sucker down. Plus, like I said, the 'maps' could involve sniping from distances at 1km-2km+.

For a Wild West game though... what the gently caress? I mean, I'm sure there was some kind of long range rifles back then, but who associated sniper rifles with their memories of cowboy movies? It just kinda kills part of the experience. What I want is to blast bitches out of saloons and off rooftops with pistols, shotguns, and regular scope-less rifles.

Snipers aren't a problem, it's the lock-on that is - and Rockstar have said they're going to implement a expert targeting only Free Roam later this year (possibly this Summer). A bug I had happen to me the other day that I managed to recover from: was resting at one of those random camps on the roadside, and after a few minutes the camera went into 'scenic screensaver mode', when I moved the stick to get back to the action, the camp was gone and I was stuck kneeling in the prayer position. The only way to get out of it is to drop another camp from your pack. If you don't have a camp, you're hosed. Anyway, the lord works in mysterious ways:

Oh well. You can bluff in the sense that there's nothing stopping you from bidding something you don't have. If you start the bid with three sixes and you have zero under your cup, instead of bidding two ones that you DO have, and the next guy doesn't call your bluff, everyone else now has false information about your dice - they'll probably think you have a couple sixes at least, which will influence their future bids. It's no different then bluffing in poker or any other gambling game - giving your opponents information that they have to decide for themselves whether or not it's true or false. It might also just not be for you, which is always a possibility.

Yeaaaah... any wait longer than a few weeks is probably going to be too late for me. I'm loving this game, but SO much good stuff just came out. RDR might have a date with Doctor Craigslist if I get bored before the fix finally rolls in.

is there any reason why I am seeing a 4:3 box on the screen on my PS3 version of RDR. everything is set up properly. system is set to 1080P on both sides. so the screen is displaying the full image, but I see two faint vertical lines that seem to form the sides of a box. no idea. its ugly and pissing me off. I dont think its image retention either. I watch all my programming in 16:9

Anyone who plays this game on anything other than a surround sound system is missing out on probably the best part of the game. I used to play on just the TV speakers, but I turned on my reciever and it opened up a whole new level of awesomeness. Every sound in this game is perfect and really adds to the experience.
