roffle posted:I don't know what JC2 is but the map in this is loving massive. Maybe like Fallout 3 size, I dunno I didn't play that game too much, but it puts GTA4 and San Andreas to shame I'm 90% sure it's bigger than Fallout 3.

I'm guessing San Andreas is bigger. It may seem smaller, but your whipping around in a car the whole time. Try riding it on a horse and it'll seem a lot bigger.

Has anyone tried lassoing a deer? You can hold them if you're on horseback but if you step down from the horse it's going to drag you for a short distance.

I love the newspaper you get after the story is finished, tying pretty much all loose ends: (feel free to read this if your actually give a drat) -Abraham Reyes is doing an absolutely horrible job as President of Mexico and rules as a tyrant, with his people being starved and slaughtered in the streets -Marshal Leigh Johnson retires, with plans to "move as far away from Armadillo as possible" -Irish, in a drunken stupor, accidentally shoots and kills himself in a loving outhouse -Professor McDougal gets kicked out of Yale after getting into a fistfight with a colleague -Landon Ricketts dies in his sleep -Seth actually strikes it rich, finding gold in the hills of New Austin The lesson that should be learned from RDR is that most of the time life is one fickle bitch. The end.

I just finished the Mexico missions and went back to Chuparosa because a stranger icon was there and everyone started shooting me! What the hell? I thought I was a hero of Mexico by now...

Cat Machine posted:Do you have any unpaid bounties on you? Pretty sure I didn't at the time but ended up with $140 because of that. Oh well. I'll go try and pay that off (the only place seems to be there) and see what happens. edit: snuck round the back, payed it (used a pardon since I was maxed out on them), met the stranger and didn't have any more problems, so I guess I picked up a small bounty somehow. Also, why oh why oh why is it doing the "hero of kvatch" thing. Dear god, nooooo. Kiwillian fucked around with this message at 11:44 on May 29, 2010 |

Anyone else have a problem with beavers disappearing when you shoot them? I've probably killed a half dozen of them only to have their bodies disappear into the scenery.

gently caress me. I racked up a decent bounty in Blackwater to the point that no other cops would show, so I caught the train and rode around on the roof. Shot people and eventually got to McFarlane ranch. Up to about 3K by then. My plan was to go to Armadillo, hole up on a roof and get 5K and use a pardon. So I'm surfing on my train and wondered, why is it so quiet? Move forward a bit and sure enough I can hear the train now. Except it's the OTHER train coming right through the one I'm on. "DEAD". gently caress YOU!!!

roffle posted:Welp did the "bring a bounty back alive" in Chuparosa or whatever for the Bandito outfit and it didn't show up as marked off. That's the first I've seen of any sort of glitches so far, other than the buttons becoming unresponsive after a while when I was wearing the poncho. I'd imagine it'll just show up as done next time I do one

The game was telling me I had played for over nine days (after owning it less than a week) and spent something like 151 hours playing poker though. You are so addicted to the game you play it in your sleep, or something  (the stat tracking in the game does seem a bit hosed though)

If so, that ccould be it... would make sense, anyway. I could have just been imagining it or getting it confused with something else, there's just so much stuff in this game, it's all bleeding together into one single nidus of AWESOME.

I've just arrived in mexico, and I have to say I'm getting pretty lukewarm towards this game. Sure, if you loved san andreas more than anything in the world ever this might be a fantastic game, but if it weren't for some of the characters, I'd probably trade it in for a gift card or something.

Moving on to the next level, I got 5 skunks, 5 foxes and was looking at all the spots for raccoons. Finally found a few and the game froze. Thanks Rockstar. Glad to see you playtest your stuff.

Objectively, compared to the previous rockstar sandbox games, there isn't that much in this, which is why you've got a lot of people easilly 100%ing it within a week or two of owning it. The towns are very small and at most contain the same shops with the same wares as every other place and all of the distance between them is vacant desert with a spot of wildlife running about. The missions were good, and the hunting simlator is not bad, but just about everything else is passable at best.

This is just it, I can't bring myself to spend days lassoing random people, trampling them, shooting armadillos or become an expert at five finger fillet, because I think I shouldn't need to go around feverishly searching for ways a game could entertain me, when I should be entertained simply by playing it.

I can't say I'm capable of forming a complete opinion of this game not being far in, but this seems to copy my perception of the game. Copy/paste towns with not much in-between, plus a shitload of camp scenes between missions. Also, JOHN'S MARRIED. NO HOOKER. Lilac fucked around with this message at 15:24 on May 29, 2010 |

Morter posted:Jesus Christ, how many loving dudes are gonna get the rosary before I do?! It does seem like it would be pretty easy to miss the nun who brings you the rosary (although I didn't  ) She came running up saying "At last I have found you" just as I was riding out of town; if I had been doing the horsey equivalent of flooring it, it would have been easy to miss her or run her over as I think some people have done.What we don't seem to know yet is whether or not the nun tries again if you miss the delivery when she appears (or perhaps accidentally grievously murder her).

Son of a bitch, I just hit my first bug. Finally got to Blackwater and did the first mission where you get the High Powered Pistol, then went and saved. Reloaded today and I lost the pistol. Is there a way to get it back? If not, then gently caress... don't have any recent saves other than like halfway through Mexico.

err posted:Do we ever find out what happens to Bonnie? Last time we seen her she was pretty: I'm betting there is a DLC that deals with her father kicking the bucket and brother coming back and trying to swipe the ranch out from under her to build something like an automobile factory. They put too much detail into their family structure to not make something out of it in the future. I'd imagine that's why we haven't heard the last of her yet.
