but you never see cougars, especially when you are trying to hunt them which is damned near impossible with a knife.

I'm not sure why people have trouble with this! Nothing says you have to be unmounted to do it. I just rode by and stabbed them a bunch then hopped down when I needed to loot.

I had more problems trying to catch them after I shot em once to stab em than finding them. I got both of mine riding down to Thieves' Landing from Blackwater to buy bait to find them actually...so maybe I'm lucky.

And if someone doesn't find the cheat for constant drunkenness soon, I'm going to hold some Rockstar employees hostage until they tell me. Anyone with me on this?

Yeah, I am. As long as you can't pass out for more than 5 seconds.

I'd love riding around, hogtie-ing and lassoing people, then getting in big saloon shootouts while staggering and barely being able to aim. Also, falling off your own horse would be lulzorific.




Speaking of which: a loving rear end in a top hat ninja-cougar snuck up on my near Fort Mercer while I was hunting for wolves, and pulled my goddamn Golden Stallion down, killing it, before I could blow it apart with my double-barrel.

Now I gotta spend forever either looking for a same breed horse, or I gotta buy a deed for that breed when I can find one.

Sometimes, in a city this dirty, you need a real hero.

Policenaut posted:

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.

I just gave this a go and found that i was only able to rack up about 150 kills in an hour because the AI for the marshals is so loving buggy. They'd either get stuck in cliff walls way off in the distance (i opened up the map and watched them run and bounce off of walls continuously) or they'd get stuck on the walls of the fort.

The best and possibly quickest way to do this is probably with two people. One on the northernmost canon mopping up anyone coming in the back door and one on the minigun by the front one. That should force the marshals to spawn in locations that don't get them stuck and should keep both of you safe from any cheeky fucker who somehow gets inside the fort.

Edit: as i mentioned to some goons last night, i wish that rockstar would get around to cobbling together some kind of sim economy system for their games. In this case, once you finish the game, you've got a nice tidy sum of money but bugger all to spend it on. How about you let me run my loving ranch. Start off by letting my buy cattle and horses and poo poo, then using them to produce goods to sell and from there hiring staff to do the mundane bollocks or act as security. Let me earn enough cash to upgrade the ranch and poo poo so that it even surpasses that one at the beginning.

Hell, let me buy that ranch and the other cities and then enhance them. Let me make enough money to buy out that lovely abandoned town and slowly renovate it into paradise.

Call it: Red Dead Tycoon!

Man horseshoes are such horsepoo poo. Even with a perfect aim (lined up with the index finger) and a fully green throw-meter that lands right on the middle tick mark, the horseshoe still barely makes it into the sandpit (and sometimes still doesn't even land in the pit).

Ugh gently caress you rockstar for forcing me to win at this for 100%

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?

If you haven't found out from another source yet, yes. It doesn't matter if they're alive or dead for the completion percentage.

What Link said, but I did have a glitch with the last bounty I needed in West Elizabeth. It wouldn't count until I brought him in alive, it kept giving me the same bounty over and over when I just shot him.

Oh jesus that's awesome. I may have to get caught cheating just to have this experience.

I screwed up the Herbert Moon Robbery mission not long ago because when I came galloping back into town with the miscreant we sort of piled right into Herbert. I left the hogtied villain in his shop in case he wanted to kick him later, after he picked himself up out of the mud.

Level 9 Hunting Challenge spoiler: After you kill Khan the legendary jaguar, do jaguars respawn anywhere in single player? I don't really play MP, but I thought this challenge was cool, and wouldn't mind going on another jaguar hunt. If you can only hunt a jaguar once during an entire SP playthrough though, lame.

This is what I noticed too. They're all slightly different lengths and none of them are alike. One up at Rathskeller's Fork is the easiest to get a ringer on, it seems (to me anyway, I've gotten three playing there).

no, I'm done with the story and on one of the stranger missions where you have to get a white stallion for this fruitcake so he'll free the Chinese guy. Except he could have just been my 1,594th kill. The storyline aside, I wish they didn't make it so all the people you do missions for are so goddamned dislikable, I wish there were more like that old guy in Mexico

e: relatedly by "white stallion" do they mean the Hungarian? Cause that horse looks pretty goddamned gray to me
