They definitely need a social club unlock or some DLC to play as John after you beat the game. I would even pay money for that as sad as it is. Also, random things to contribute: After killing Ross I totally unloaded on his body until he was washed away by the river. No one will find the evidence! I think the weirdest bug I've had so far is people duplicating during cutscenes. The best was probably during the last mission cutscene where John is helping his family escape from the barn, I had Jack duplicate and just stand there after everyone left. My friend was telling me he actually had a better version of this where the duplicate Jack was the all torn up one from after the Bear mission and he was cowering in the corner like the Marstons' unloved second son who lives in the barn. Also, I totally had 8 beaver pelts from previous hunting when the flying machine quest rolled around

99.4% complete. loving hell. I'm pretty sure according to guides I've seen that last bit of percent is probably tied up in doing bounties, which I largely dropped soon as I got in Mexico. So much loving around, and a compulsive wildlife killing/skinning routine saw me crossing the border with $15,000, so I wasn't hurting for money. I wish there was something simple that could tell me what I was missing.

My friend got the (endgame)duplicate Jack during the bear mission too, but that may have been because he had a knife fight with the bear that made it run away from the area.

If you link with the social club, they have a pretty simple 100% checklist. Some of the stuff is glitched, but if you know you've done all the strangers and missions, it shouldn't be an issue. It seems to be working to check all the bounty locations, AFAIK.

Thanks, good, I'll look at that. I know I have all the strangers and missions knocked out. And every weapon too. Edit- I was in-game looking at the Social Club stuff wondering where the gently caress you could find whatever it was you were talking about... then it donned on me you meant their WEBSITE.

I was playing multiplayer and instead of my normal crappy horse (I forget the name of it but I'm level 15) my War Horse from singleplayer appeared when I whistled. Happened in a free roam session, and only happened once. Weird.

So does the social club 100% thing fully function yet? Cause I"m taking a look at it now and while it accurately says I have 93.3% done, it says I only discovered 6 locations out of 94, and have done no strangers or ambient challenges. This is my first time looking at it. If it's still on the fritz, then it's okay, but if someone's got it working without a glitch, do I have to wait a while before looking again or something?

Well I'm loving done with this game. I was 1 flower away from rank 10 Survivalist, got jumped by a posse and killed. It respawned me on the other side of the map and all but two flowers were gone out of my inventory and the challenge was reset. That's a little bit more a loving game breaking bug than I'm willing to put up with.

Cat Machine posted:That's not a bug. You don't keep your inventory when you die. To be more specific, you lose what you've gained since your last save. The game only auto-saves after you complete the challenge or when something else happens to cause the game to auto-save. I ran into that problem once during that challenge too, but it was a god drat ghost cougar. Just didn't want someone to read that and think dying causes you to lose all of your inventory.

For rank 10 survivalist I just did it while I was doing other poo poo. You see a flower, pick it. I think it would have felt like a lot longer if I'd actively been searching out all 10 varieties of flowers. Except for the 10 violet snowdrops, it's something that you'll probably complete most of during the normal course of dicking around shooting birds which is essentially all I do in this having beaten the storyline

When you lose a duel how do you get the guy to show back up? I tried to disarm some jerk but the bar filled only a fraction of an inch for some reason and I died. For that matter how exactly do they work? I get that you can aim your gun two different ways, but painting the target seems random when it actually raises the bar substantially.

This is my first time looking at it. It's still buggy as hell, but for me at least, it seems to have updated most everything. I mentioned before stranger missions, and it seems to be the only thing that hasn't registered for some reason. But if you check out the info buttons on the website, it does mention that some of the stuff is still glitchy and they are working on it. It did take like 3 or 4 days for the social site to start working for me though, and FWIW it has never recognized that I own The Lost and the Damned or the Ballad of Gay Tony, and while it will display my achievements for GTA4, it refuses to update any of my stats past the very first mission. So while the social club website is a really cool idea, it's a bit too janky to be all that useful at this point.

They're random occurrences, so just walk around town and hope to get challenged. For duels, you want your bar (the blue one) to be higher then your opponents bar (the red one). Targeting vital places like the head causes each shot to increase the bar a whole ton. Hitting the hand or weapon fills it up instantly. You get a number of shots equal to how many the pistol you have equipped has.

When it's contracted and white you will fill the bar up more if you paint then vs painting when it's expanded and red. If it's contracted and white when you target their hand, it'll instantly end the duel and you'll disarm them.

Timby posted:What are the best / fastest horses you can find in single-player, and where can they be found? You can get the Kentucky Sadler early from doing Bonnie missions, and then when you get to Mexico you can get a white horse (Hungarian Half Bred I think) thats even faster. Its out in the wild in Mexico, but its all white so its easy to find. Theres a faster one thats all black up in the North East of the map but I haven't gotten there yet.

Observational Thought: For a game that instantly kills you the moment you have water up to your head it sure renders wet clothing fantastically. It's too bad there wasn't at least an oxygen meter, but then again, there would be nothing to stop everyone from swimming right over to Mexico from the get go.

I'm trying to get the Heading South On A White Bronco achievement, but can't seem to do it. I'm on the Hungarian Half-bred and I went to Armadillo and shot a hole in the marshal's window which made me wanted. I then escaped and didn't get the achievement. Didn't I do exactly what I was supposed to? So dying takes you to your last save, not just the closest safehouse with the current state? I'm nearly done with Mexico and didn't realize that.

You have to get a bounty, lose your wanted level (but keeping your bounty) and then have the US Marshals pick up your trail and then lose them. Also, using a horse deed instantly saves your game. No need to run out of town and set up a camp.

I never thought I could get much more satisfaction out of the game since beating it, but I've proven myself wrong. Since deciding to 100% the game, I went through costume objectives, including "Bust out the entire Blackwater poker table". Having tried an accumulated hour or so just to get a 2000 chip hand in the past, I knew there'd be some hard-loving-times, so I kept trying my luck by going to the table to wait until there was only one person left (and whenever there wasn't, just violently shove the 2-4 people that were there, then go far enough to have the table reload). Finally I came upon the table when Visor "4-Eyes" McCheatdick was the only one there. Somehow, only a few hands in, I came upon a full house that turned into a 4 of a kind, which I quickly went All In, as did he. In one fell swoop, I busted him out. He left. The satisfaction came in the 5+ minutes (really, that's a long time) I spent shoving his body into metal objects, window panes, and tables. Even more funny was pressing B as he fell to hear a "Howdy, Mister!" only to have his body, about half the time, instantly snap into a standing position and greet me back like I wasn't harassing him. I did so until I chased him clear out of Blackwater. Now I have experienced Redemption!

Wow, I'm pretty disappointed with the first treasure hunter challenge. The map shows Hanging Rock/tree in the distance of the II. drawing, but the treasure's actually butting up against the rock that the tree is on?. I feel like the drawing lead me away from the treasure rather than to it. Are they all that misleading?
