Mastiff posted: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? Read the OP to understand how treasure maps work. The only treasure map that was a real letdown was the one that you get from a Stranger mission. Because it's a stranger mission, the game highlights exactly where you need to go and even puts a question mark RIGHT on the treasure, despite each piece of map you get having all the drawings and such, same as the regular treasure maps. Real missed opportunity, because the treasure hunting was one of my favorite parts of the game.

Morter posted:I think your bounty has to be 2k-2.5k in order for the marshals/mexican army to go after you. I don't think the bounty amount matters any. Mine was only $600 or so from shooting up the saloon in Armadillo; I just rode out of town towards MacFarlane's Ranch and came back then the pop-up said the Marshals had found my trail. Evaded them through Jorge's Gap and got the achievement. Not sure if it will work in Mexico since it says Marshals and not Federales. Having a higher bounty may expedite the Marshals picking up your trail, however.

I'm so glad, by the way, that I looked at the Red Dead Wiki to find out that when the US Marshal costume said "Gang Hideouts", they meant only the New Austin ones. I was wondering how the gently caress they expected me to cross the border and take out the other couple of mexican hideouts without camping or otherwise.

Any tips on getting the 500 kills for a mounted gun trophy? I figured the "And you will know the Truth" mission would be ideal since you just run around with a mounted gatling run in a tank-truck-thing but whenever the mission is over, my stats don't seem to change any. Not sure if it's counting. Is it easier to get it online? I still have nearly every online trophy to do anyways.

Not sure if it's counting. Go online, head to El Presidio, clear it out and throw explosives around until you get a Wanted level, mount one of the cannons (preferably one by the big gate near the front) and start killing. Took me about an hour.

For those of you trying to do dangerous things/not so dangerous things with a wanted level/whatever. A nice little trick I found is that when you use a Horse Deed, it saves your game. However, you can't use a Horse Deed if you already have that Deed's type (if you have your Hungarian Half Bred, you can't use the Hungarian Half Bred Deed). However, if you carry two deeds, you can effectively cycle the horses and save your game whenever you want to. I've found this to be pr. useful way of saving my way up to $2,500 bounty. Admittedly, when you reload you'll respawn at the nearest safehouse, but that's not so bad.

I cant figure out the poker rules at all in this game but I somehow managed this challenge in about 5 minutes by bluffing the poo poo out of everyone at the table. It seems that if they bet fairly low on the first round then suddenly very high then they have a good hand but if they either bet consistently low or bet high to start with then just go all in and you win every time.

I've played this game for hours and it's still surprising me. I was just wondering to myself, "Why haven't I seen any snakes in this game? It's mostly one great big desert." And sure enough, five minutes later, something I can't see starts killing me. Speaking of being startled in the wilderness, I've survived about half a dozen cougar attacks at this point, and they scare the bejeezus out of me each time. Animals are so cool.

but you never see cougars, especially when you are trying to hunt them which is damned near impossible with a knife. Bears are all over the place in tall trees anyway. It seems that every time I bend down to skin something, even if there are no bears for miles around as soon as I stand up again I'm getting raped by five of the assholes and my horse is already dead so I have no option but to stand there and die fighting.

Since Mexico, my good guy John has been getting a hefty bounty. It's weird how the game makes you do some pretty drat deplorable things in missions. Makes me go on a bit of a killing spree once it's over too, suddenly turning on the soldiers. Reyes seems pretty cool, I hope you help him later.

It was pretty much just cutscenes and 1-2 (pretty meh) action scenes leading up to the attack on Fort Mercer Edit: I'm under the impression that you have to get the bounties alive for them to count in 100%. Since no one's mentioning alive or not, and I certainly don't need the money (I'm in post game), can I just shoot every bounty? Morter fucked around with this message at 00:33 on Jun 1, 2010 |

Sometimes trying to be the "good guy" is frustrating. "Help someone stole my horse!" <chases down and hogties horse thief> <puts thief on back of horse, lassos second horse, brings everyone back to Armadillo> "Thanks mister!" <Horse thief evaporates into thin air> Or my personal favorite, especially because it takes so many more button presses than just shooting them: Marshal: "You gotta help me mister, the prisoners broke loose and escaped!" <run down and hogtie both prisoners which takes about 10 steps per prisoner> Marshal: "Thanks mister, that sure was a big help" <takes out pistol and shoots hogtied prisoners> <starts hobbling down the road>

I stopped trying to bring them in alive long ago, I just shoot them now, even though I am trying to be a good guy. Horse thieves are the most annoying - once you bring the horse back you have to wait for the guy to finish thanking you and then slowly get back on his horse and ride away. If you just bring him the horse and take off, you'll fail the mission because you'll go out of range before the game has decided that the guy has actually reclaimed his horse.

Yeah, honor builds up quickly enough that I think I can live with sacrificing a few opportunities if it means I don't have to chase down some random jerks and hogtie them.

The honor system is really flunky at times. 100 honor for disarming someone after you were caught cheating at cards, but only 10 for bringing a criminal in alive?

I wish you could find cougars when you were actually looking for them. I've been trying to get the drat cougar cabin in Tanner's Reach or whatever to work for an hour and it's not magically spawning the 15 cougars advertised on youtube.

Not killing a guy when it's perfectly acceptable to do os ( a duel ) vs. hunting someone down for money seems more honorable to me. Also, I'm having a hard time finishing the Single Player because I can't be on more than 20 minutes without getting an MP invite... which I just can't seem to refuse.
