Really not liking some of the things this game is making my character do. John is supposed to be a reformed sorta good guy but has no problem helping (early Mexico spoilers) rounding up dozens of women to be gang raped and then burning their village to the ground? My only solace was that one of the Mexican army guys accidentally walked into the fire after the cut scene and died what sounded like a very painful death. Did I have any other options in that one? I wanted to attack the soldiers but didn't see a way.

You know, I never got the Love is the Opiate Stranger task... was there something special that needed to be done to unlock it?

My only solace was that one of the Mexican army guys accidentally walked into the fire after the cut scene and died what sounded like a very painful death. I think the purpose of that mission was to show a few things about John. First of all, he isn't entirely comfortable with what he is doing in Mexico (Future mission spoilers: This becomes apparent in later missions after the army betrays you ), however, his foremost goal is to get his family back without any harm coming to them. In order to make sure this happens he has to follow up on the only leads available to him, the Army and Luisa/Ricketts/eventually Reyes. If he betrayed the army over a village he didn't care about, he would lose a vast majority of his leads on Javier and Williamson at that time. It shows John to be rather consequentialist in that he justifies his means because the end was keeping his family safe and getting them out of harm's way. Remember that getting his family back is his first priority by and far above punishing what the Mexican government was doing to Mexican peasants. Meta-Game Spoilers It also sets up the second act of the story to tie into the title. John commits evil for the army to find Williamson and Javier and reaches rock bottom when he is betrayed by his my prominent lead. He redeems himself when he helps the rebels depose Col. Allende and finally when he catches Allende and Williamson. Thus the second act sees John earning his redemption both in the scope of the act and in the game thus far.

Atom1klad posted:...terrible controls... I have walked into the water a zillion times, tried to turn only to fall off a cliff, and fallen off plenty of balconies. I really hate how the game handles, including having a "brake" button for the horse. My family has horses, and they don't just start walking once you get on them, nor do they constantly start walking if you relax the reins after stopping them.

Kin posted: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. I don't know. I don't think the game has less than the GTA games at all. I think the reason more people are 100%ing it has more to do with the fact that there aren't any bullshit hidden packages/pigeons etc. Sure, there's the herb collecting and the hunting, but there's nothing that makes you follow a map guide step by step, only to find out that you've missed one along the way, and now have 243/244 bullshit collection items. I know that's why I've never bothered completing a GTA game before, anyway. E: Also to the people above me talking about glitches, that really sucks. So far I've played a poo poo ton out of this game, and the only glitches I've experienced have only served to further my enjoyment with the game. For instance, doing the Tumbleweed gang hideout for the first time, John Marston randomly took off like a rocket ship and flew 3 or 4 hundred yards away, kicking and screaming the whole time. I thought for sure I was dead, but John just got up, dusted himself off, and made his way back to Tumbleweed to continue killin' bandits.

Alright, I'm pretty loving  at Poker.Can someone explain what side pot and main part are? I finally got a nice hand (jack high flush) after near a hundred bad hands overall, and I get a 2.5k chip pot, and the drat thing gets split before anyone even shows their hand. I won both side and main pot, but I didn't get the loving achievement. WHAT THE HELL?!

It's more than just hidden packages. The GTA games had a greater variety of vehicles, activities, scenery, characters, vehicle stunts, hidden world items and bugger knows wht else i'm forgetting and in most cases didn't feel like a bunch of "the same shops" copy pasted all over the map separated by desert. Also, because that rockstar social site is playing up what exactly should my stats read for bounties in regards to 100% I've done all the challenges, bought all the homes and guns, completed all the missions an all the strangers, won all the minigames and done all the jobs. I have 98.9% and my bounty list reads: New Austin - 8 Nuevo - 2 West Elizabeth - 4 What should those three numbers end up at to get the 100%?

Why, when you do a bounty do enemies respawn infinitely and run in at warp speed and knock you over then kill you. That makes it almost impossible for me to get my bounty on my horse, loot anything and get out of there.

Getting to $5000 Wanted level on Free Roam is a sonofabitch. To everyone not digging the game, straight up, go trade it in and post in another thread. There's honestly nothing anyone can say here that's going to change your opinion if the game hasn't blown you away yet.

Your main target and goal should be to capture the bounty, get him on your horse, and book it back to the jail to drop him off asap. Quit trying to loot bodies or skin horses or whatever because you'll honestly make more dough if you just turn the bandito in.

It is pretty funny when you are in Mexico and you watch a bandito on a loving donkey get up to 90 miles an hour to catch up with you.

Lilac posted: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. I think it's worth the $60 and I'm glad Rockstar took their series to another environment. But I don't find the game as revolutionary as some are making it out to be.

I can not for the life of me get the scrap "Protect mexicans from bandito attacks". All the random encounters I'm getting in the area are "Shoot birds" or "Capture prisoners"

The main pot is the pot that all players are involved in. I got the 2000 chips achievement by going to the high stakes Blackwater one and just raising and betting constantly. I wasn't even looking at my cards. Took me about a minute. The AI wusses out if you are like ALL IN every time. I'm surprised they didn't catch on, they just kept folding and when someone stuck around I just happened to have a better hand, I guess? I got like 5000 chips in a few hands just constantly shoving all my chips into the table. Then I went to go pick flowers in my best finery.  Then I got eaten by a cougar.  (I gotta work on that two-cougars-with-the-knife thing. What's the best area for that?)
