So, I notice that when I punch people out in saloons (which is funny as hell btw), they just get back up seconds later and keep coming after you no matter what? Does just knocking them out for those couple of seconds count for Fighting Around the World?

Also I'm noticing a trend of hands that never actually equate to anything in Texas Hold'Em.

Pretty sure you only need to punch them a few times to count

Even if they get up after being knocked out, it'll still count for the achievement.

This game has an awesome story for a horse riding simulator.

All joking aside though, this game is awesome, and that's just from someone two hours in.

Just got to Thieves Landing, got off my horse to go buy the bandanna and when I came out of the store I saw my horse out on the dock. It reared up on last time and jumped to it's death in the water. I don't know what I did to upset it :(

I always seem to lose horses in Thieves' Landing.

I thought I was so smart one time. I walked just past the water hazards on foot, to be sure I had a clear path from there out of town. Then I whistled for my horse and felt so sure I had figured it all out. I watched as my horse perked up his ears, took off running toward me... and within five steps he had plowed directly into the only body of water that was still even vaguely nearby.

If they release a horse with inflatable pool floaties on each leg as DLC, I promise I'll buy it immediately.

Has anyone else had Strangers disappear on them?

I remember riding past the 'California' stranger mission because I was trying to do some hunting challenge and it never came back.
They'll appear again later. One of mine showed up in a mine, while I was doing an assault on that mine. I ended up blowing him the hell up by shooting the boxes of TNT surrounding him. (because I always shoot all explosive crates/barrels. In any game, ever) He was back about 20 minutes later.

I seem to have a horse that likes to play hide and seek.

I'll get off to loot a body or skin an animal, going only a couple steps away. Pan the camera around, no sign of the horse. Finally whistle for him, and he emerges from some nearby bushes or something.

Goddamnit horse, this is no time for your games!

Anyone have any idea what the titles for Weapons might be, or when they unlock? I quickly scroll through the weapon challenges list, and see that they only unlock XP, but there's a whole titles section for weapons in the outfitter. I googled to no avail, and would love to at least earn a shotgun-type title, but that probably won't be feasible if I have to get 75 PvP shotgun kills or whatever.

Yeah, gently caress that mission. I feel like I'm playing World of Warcraft or some poo poo trying to collect all the crap he needs.

I've found one beaver so far, and I've probably got 30 hours put into this game.

Someone posted this earlier in the thread but there's a very easy way to get all the small animal collections as long as you can find just one of them.

When you find your one animal, shoot it and don't skin it yet. Ride away until the point where the corpse is falls off the edge of your minimap (just riding till the X disappeared never worked for me) then turn around and go back and there should be a new animal spawned near the corpse. Kill it and skin the old corpse, since it'll disappear eventually when you do the ride aways, then repeat with the new corpse.

I used this to get my raccoon and fox pelts so I can testify that it works.

I had a weird bug today that caused everyone to be super hostile to me for no reason. Hero honor, no bounty. Funny thing was they'd still do their introductory speech, then pull a gun and go nuts on me.

"Come sit at our fire, senor!" BLAM BLAM
"Please, they took my wagon!" BLAM BLAM
"The prisoners are escaping!" BLAM BLAM

Also I saw a cougar in a frozen pounce animation gliding slowly from one horizon to another - the endless journey of the levitating cougar yogi.

This game has some of the most entertaining bugs.

yeah, until you're doing the escort mission for the train in Mexico, your horse hits a rock, and you & the horse magically teleport 70 ft in the air, fall, and die. Stupid horse.

The trick to finding animals is riding to a spot where they are likely to spawn, riding away until you can't see the spot, then riding back. Every time you return it calculates the random encounter there. The best I found for cougars was actually the same as the boars; north of Hennigan's Stead where you see the hog on the map. Specifically the short rail bridge across the small ravine.

It's worse when you need to wait a few days for a Stranger mission or something. Jail helped once, but the second time I needed to do it I had too high Honor and Fame to get arrested without killing people and losing Honor :(

Yeah! I personally think the game looks really crisp and gorgeous during the day and prefer to play it during daytime hours, but it seems that I somehow end up with a nearly perpetual nighttime experience. It is very annoying.

And on a completely unrelated note, do you have to have the entire map unlock to complete all the challenge thingies? You know, the survivalist and sharpshooter things.

The sharpshooter challenges I don't think you do since they're pretty much all generic "disarm this many dudes, kill this many dudes in one deadeye" or whatever, but the survivalist, hunter, and treasure hunter challenges all require stuff you can only find/kill in the final county.

edit: nevermind, one sharpshooter rank requires bears so you need West Elizabeth unlocked to do sharpshooter as well.

Isn't one of the sharpshooter challenges to kill two bears each with a single shot? You need the entire map open to gain access to bears.

So I was just playing around and found something really, really fun. Lets say for a second some rear end in a top hat is screwing you over in multiplayer with his super powered gun of whatever. As soon as you spawn, build up a little deadeye. Not alot, but enough to enter it for like a second. Then pull out the throwing knives. The moment you deadeye him it will throw the knife because it's considered to have an ammo of one, killing him instantly. The knives also seem to have a faster travel time. This will one shot anything in the game I've tried so far.

The beaver in the very top part is actually located in the small clearing near the river at the far northern part of the map, most people really don't go there because it's a little out of the way. I think I wandered there a couple times in search of Bighorn.
