They're part of the Master Hunter challenges which you can do in both SP and MP (obviously more fun in MP)

roffle posted: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 Although they obviously laid on the bleakness with a pretty heavy trowel I actually love the fact that Marston just seems so exhaustedly resigned to all the poo poo he encounters.

War Pig posted:Endgame/outfits spoilers: is it at all possible to use the US Marshall outfit as John? It gets discovered with the final mission, right? I kinda want to run around with John as a Marshal. My interpretation of Jack is too evil and spiteful of the law to use it. You unlock the outfit by completing the final storyline mission, so no. roffle posted:e: relatedly by "white stallion" do they mean the Hungarian? Cause that horse looks pretty goddamned gray to me Yeah, and I'm pretty sure it has a pop-up that tells you specifically you need the Hungarian. Emron posted:Can someone explain these legendary animal hunts to me? Are they an MP thing? Not sure about MP, but ranks 9 and 10 of Master Hunter involve killing legendary animals - a jaguar for rank 9, and a bear, boar, and wolf for rank 10. It tells you where they live and you run around the location for a minute and it'll say "You have located Khan the legendary jaguar" or whatever, and they'll show up as a red dot on your minimap.

That's gay about the Hungarian cause I'd actually found one somewhere already tamed and ridden it to that stranger mission but it disappeared, unsurprisingly

Molothecat posted:This is a foreign language to me. How a metatag works is: Someone makes a "dummy" gamertag called a "metatag". Example: RedDeadGoons Everyone interested in joining the metatag sends a friend request to RedDeadGoons Creator of metatag accepts whoever asks to be friended, or sometimes gives out the account info so others can expedite the request acceptance. To use the metatag: You go to RedDeadGoons' profile, go to "View Friends", and from there, you can see what every other goon who "joined the metatag" (ie: friended the dummy gamertag) is doing and join their game. Metatags are usually themed around the game that it's brought up in. So the purpose of RedDeadGoons is to have a bunch of goons connect with each other as though friends, without having to individually add everyone on the friends list. Get it?

Yodzilla posted:It wasn't bad to be sure but I think one of my biggest problems was with the writing. For some reason Rockstar decided that if something was worth saying once it was worth saying five loving times, usually on some long unskippable horse ride. Every character had exactly one thing to say but at least three missions of boring dialog to hammer the point home over and over and over again. Seriously.... Ross: We want you to kill these people. Marston: What if I refuse? Ross: We kill your wife and child. Marston: Oh Ross: Now, go find Bill Williamson and bring him here, preferably alive Marston: And WHAT if I refuse Ross: If you hope to see your wife again, you'd best do as we say. Marston: Oh (Finds Bill, screws up) Ross: Yeah, now that he's holed up w/********, you should go and get him, and his companion as well. Marston: AND WHAT IF I REFUSE Ross:

Holy christ, I've been horrified yet again by this game. I know not many people care about personal experiences, but I don't think enough goons will run into this situation. Post End-game, I was dicking around Escalera waiting for a bounty to show up (Which it never loving did), and I kicked a sickly looking dog. He starts attacking me and no matter how many kicks I did, or lassoing, I couldn't stop him from hounding (  ) me. So, as I ran away from him, I whipped out a knife, and as he jumped at me, I just swiped at the air once, and the dog jumped into it, and was dead before he hit the floor.The horrificness was what Marston said in response to the fresh, tumbling dog corpse: "I guess I miss Rufus."

Using casual aim in free-roam is hilarious. I was trying to get the ten minute public enemy achievement and this lone person busts into El Presidio somehow and kills my four friends and I who were all focusing on them. They were using the high powered pistol and after they killed us (all of us were public enemies) they sent us each a message saying "casual aim owned you faggots". So I try it. Holy gently caress it makes fighting other players a joke. I'm only gonna use hardcore when I'm doing gang hideouts in public matches now, otherwise it's casual.

We pissed this dude off the other day very extremely by jokingly suggesting that he was using casual aim. He took it as the greatest insult to his character.

hahaha I just realized you can go up to the professor's hotel room in the Blackwater Hotel and it's just as he left it, with the suitcase on the bed and 10 or 12 empty liquor bottles. Seems like they would have cleaned up sometime in the 20 years that's elapsed since then.

The Wise Teen posted: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. I didn't see anyone else answer this. The bunch that spawn upon entering Tanner's Reach only do so in MP. You can still find them up around there, but I've never actually seen one at Tanner's Reach (but in Tall Trees and other places) during SP.

Whoa whoa whoa, hold the phone, folks: The Red Dead Wiki on the Knife claims that you can block (most) animal attacks with the knife?! Holy poo poo, I must now re-kill everything and test this out. Edit:  NOT AGAINST BEARS  FBI costume complaint. Endgame spoilers: Are you loving kidding me? The costume is made for Jack, who's the only person who can reach 100%, and the front brim of the hat is clipped through by his stupid thick caveman forehead. REALLY?! It's the only tangible reward for 100%ing the game, and it's hosed up? Wow. Morter fucked around with this message at 06:05 on Jun 1, 2010 |

Couldn't you use the cheat code to get the Marshal Uniform before the end of the game? The code is I LOVE A MAN IN UNIFORM. Gets the Marshal Uniform, the Bureau Uniform, and the Army uniform. You couldn't save, but you could mess around with them before the end.

As much as I love every other aspect of this game, it's the first console game I've played that's had bugs bad enough to really piss me off. Playing it for a few hours tonight, and it developed an issue where all of the horses attaches to wagons/carts are clipped slightly into the ground. This means that the carts/wagons just stay in place and vibrate violently, making almost all missions involving them impossible to play. But I played on anyway, because I had gotten to some good parts... Only to find that it had silently disabled my ability to save about three hours back, for no known reason. (no cheats enabled) So every time it gave me the automatic "Saving" notice, it was lying. The auto save had worked so reliably previously, and I was on such a roll with the Mexico missions, that I wasn't partaking in my usual obsessive-compulsive constant manual saves. "(Y) Sleep? Doesn't it usually say Save there?... gently caress."

How I Completed the Rank 10 Sharpshooter Challenge by: Lord_Pigeonbane Once upon a time, I stumbled across a group of banditos sitting around a campfire, and a shootout ensued. During this shootout, I scored five disarms with my Evans Repeater, and my deadeye. I wanted that one last disarm, and I figured that it would count as a reload if I put my weapon away. Then I had an idea... Chuparosa was right up the hill. I continued to hold down the aim button, as I moseyed up to the town. This kept me from putting my gun away. When I got there, I pointed my repeater at various people until one of them pointed his gun at me. So, I shot it out of his hands. How I Completed the Rank 8 Master Hunter Challenge by: Lord_Pigeonbane Someone in one of these threads suggested that you try to drive-by knife bears from horseback. So, I gave this a try, as soon as I was ready for this challenge. I found a bear, spurred my horse forward, and took a swipe. Blood was drawn. This seemed too easy. I felt bad for taking such a cheap shot. I figured that there is no shame in failing your first attempt, so I got off my horse to fight in a more honorable manner. The bear charged over, and killed my horse. Then a mighty struggle ensued. Looking back on it, I'm surprised that I was as lucky as I was. I'm surprised that no other bears blindsided me during the fight. I'm surprised that the fight lasted as long as it did. I'm surprised that the bear never attacked me. I chased that bear all over Tall Trees, trying to scratch it to death with my little knife. I tried using my combat roll to get up along side him, and cut at his flank. This worked once, but then the bear got wise to my tactics, and never let that trick work a second time. In the end, I managed to catch him when he was momentarily stuck on some scenery. I stabbed the gently caress out of him, and completed the challenge.

Lord_Pigeonbane posted:How I Completed the Rank 8 Master Hunter Challenge My rank 8 master hunter was a bit more frustrating (but perhaps more humorous): every single time I tried, I'd hit a bear a few times, I'd be circling around it when a second, heretofore unseen bear would leap from offscreen and tackle me, then the bear I was already fighting would close for the killing blow before I could stand. This happened five times. "Alright bear, it's just you and meaarrghghghghhhhh not again"

Just find someone stationary, get up somewhat close with a rifle, and shoot the side brim of their hat, not the top.

I cheated and shot the bear in it's side with the buffalo rifle once, then took out my LeMat and shot it twice in one of its hindlegs so it was a little slower. It mostly ran from me, so there I was, a lone man with matted hair and a torn shirt (treasure hunter gang) with holes in his shoes, running down the side of a snowy mountain chasing a bear while flailing a knife wildly. Eventually caught up to him and managed to knife him to death, but it was a pretty hilariously ridiculous scene. Then when I had to kill Brumas the legendary bear, I rode up to him on my horse and unloaded all 5 shells from my Auto-5 into his face.

I was able to get that challenge by clearing out Tesoro Azul and shooting two of those giant sombreros off some Mexicans who were quite far away.
