Before it was easy as hell to keep the arrow from going to far to the left or right, but now, whenever I even activate cheating in poker, I get called out right away. All I want to do is cheat at cards and now every hand I play I'm getting duel challeneged. you have to do it when you've got the deck in your hand, anytime after that you're busted immediately.

I am definitely not saying that I am any good at this game but, I haven't had any trouble with bears or cougars at all. A bear killed me once when I was knife fighting it and a cougar killed my horse one time but that is it. I was even sneak attacked by Khan when I was skinning a coyote and I was still able to pull through and finish him off. I have more trouble with boars than anything else. A sawed off shotgun seems to have the stopping power of a handful of thrown gummibears. This is especially true in multiplayer. When I am around 10-12 yards from someone and I give them both barrels I expect them to die and not finish me off with a loving Cattleman revolver. In the Lost and the Damned a sawed off seemed like the best loving weapon. Aren't they basically the same weapon in both time periods?

northerain posted:If I'm allowed to complain about one little thing: The treasure map is poo poo. Yeah, puzzlingly, that first treasure is the hardest to find, I think. The map does appear to be showing you several different groups of rocks, and when you go to hanging rock, it does kind of look like there are that many groups of rocks, so your natural inclination is to look at the map that way. Even when you do figure out what the II means, it still isn't a very good illustration of where the treasure is. The treasure after this one is kind of tricky too, but after that they aren't so bad - the challenge only becomes figuring out which landmark it's sending you to. RandolphCarter posted:you have to do it when you've got the deck in your hand, anytime after that you're busted immediately. I've also found that trying to cheat while dealing with only one other player at the table is nearly impossible, I get busted almost immediately. The best way to cheat, I think, is to cheat once while dealing at the beginning of the game, and then only cheat from the cards in your hand after that. Cheating while dealing is harder to pull off, but cheating from the cards in your hand is usually pretty safe. Plus when you cheat while dealing you never know what you're going to get, your pocket is a safer bet. Ainsley McTree fucked around with this message at 21:23 on May 28, 2010 |

I am finding the treasure maps to be easy enough. The first one all you have to do is go to the major location that is displayed on the map and then look for exactly what the map shows  it's literally just displaying it for you.Slayer1597 posted:but it shows the hanging tree like in the background on the map, i am just so confused!

I actually really like the treasure maps. These vague maps are a really fun way to keep it vague, like a real treasure hunt.

Maps should be logical. If you're showing a drawing and you're pointing to some rocks that appear to be a ways off from the Hanging Rock and to the right, that's where it should be.

I thought they were all pretty straightforward with the exception of the second one. The general location was easy enough but drat if I didn't slide down the hill past it about six times wondering where the hell it was exactly.

You morons are the reason most games hold everybody's hand like we're all tards.  The treasure maps are one of the best things in the game, and I wish they never ended (found all of them without looking anything up).

Spoiler in case you don't want to know but have you gone to Hanging Rock? Tell me you figured that much out at least. I think it's THE first landmark in the game that you find. Hint: Hanging Rock consists of a big rock. Forget about the tree. Sco Dylan posted:You morons are the reason most games hold everybody's hand like we're all tards.

One of the few complaints I have about this game is you can fail a mission by accidentally running over a retarded NPC that decided to walk in front of you (This happened to me in Mexico a lot). Also has anyone else had the game lock up during duels?

Okay, I've changed my mind about (Big spoilers, do not read if you haven't finished the game) the Strange Man. Apparently the ridge you meet him on is the ridge where you're eventually buried. So, I do think he's death. I've also heard that he appears behind the firing squad, but I couldn't get a good enough look.

Maybe it was good enough for the drawer to remember where the poo poo was buried, and it was never intended for some stranger to find it.

Not sure what I was doing wrong the first couple of times. Did you have to do the ground tackle? I feel like I've knocked someone out in every saloon on the list I saw, but I never did ground tackles just punched til they fell over (and it counted as a knockout in my stats). Wondering if maybe that's the issue, or if I missed one (or did one on a save I reloaded or something).

I've finally discovered the majesty of pushing in this game. At first I wrote it off because I was assuming it would be a dainty push like in GTA IV, but no! John puts his back into it, it is a mighty shove that sends people flying and screaming. And unless they have a gun, nobody seems to give a poo poo. It's a pretty great timekiller while you wait for a lawman to post a bounty or something.

^Yeah, I thought the same, but damning death makes sense since it's such a widely disliked aspect of life. Also, the idea that death literally follows Marston wherever he goes kind of makes sense. Ultimately, we'll never know. He could just be a weird guy and Marston pulled a Pulpfiction with his shots.^ I'm curious if Blackwater is intended to be a reference to the modern Blackwater mercenaries. The fact that you have federal agents from there who abuse their power makes me think so. Timeless Appeal fucked around with this message at 22:12 on May 28, 2010 |

Rusty posted:I accidentally kicked a dog when I was trying to shove someone and he would not leave me alone. He followed me all over town biting the hell out of me. So be careful of town dogs. I once accidentally kicked a cougar while trying to knife it for my hunter challenge. It was oddly satisfying even though it was most definitely not what I meant to do. In other news, a "Bonnie McFarlane" popped up as a suggested friend on facebook. A real person, no less. That can't be coincidence, but I don't know how facebook knew.

How do you shove? L2 + O? (LT + B?) Do you have to select your Fists? I've been playing Jose Gonzalez's Far Away (aka "The Mexico Song") in almost constant rotation with other choice lonely Cowboy badass songs since I've heard it.

Excellent, thanks. There's a small shove with the fists out with L2 + O is why I ask. Whenever I put up my dukes, though, the AI blocks it. Wonder what it's for. They should let you press Draw and Fire at the same time to quickdraw some fools. That'd be cool.

So how exactly do you take a bounty alive? I've gotten a few but every time I shoot them in the legs, make sure they don't die, and they're just sitting there with whatever weapon they happen to have futilely trying to kill me while I'm trying to figure this poo poo out, I just don't get it.

I was actually planning on using the second-to-the-op post for guides and user made stuff (like cougar lady, dog man, etc), and there is a guide on pushing someone made that I was going to include. But I was hoping to find the "How to duel" and "How to play Poker" guides first before I got started on putting it together.
