No, I was just being a dick. Your knife is too short to kill that cougar on the ground. But since I mentioned it a saber wouldn't have been a bad thing to include.

Loads of dicks in this thread now anyway. The Bobcat, I only ever shot and skinned one once, spotted another but I was too busy riding my arse to the next mission. Is it the same sound sample they use for both or is the Cougar a lot deeper?

Yeah, I used the lasso to get my cougars and bear. Just snag them with it and immediately switch to your knife- you can't capture them with it, it's just the lasso distracts them momentarily so you can run up and stab them before they can react to you. The lasso is also useful if they decide to run away, because it will stop them and you can catch up.

After the switchblade but before the katana. Don't even try for it unless you've done the Ninja clan stranger missions, though.

Great. May as well have added a loving A-10 or Spectre Gunship in the game. I really like this game so far but honestly once I get to loving ninja missions I may just quit the game entirely.

I know Rockstar loves being off the wall, but ninjas? Seriously? Its a loving western game not Just Cause 2.

The ninja missions aren't as bad as you're expecting. Sure, they're a little shallow and the character development in respects to the Ninja Clan you encounter could have used some fleshing out, but the Katana is a considerable upgrade from the standard hunting knife and you can deflect bullets in Dead Eye mode.

Not as good as the generic "lightsaber" you find on the crashed alien spaceship, but that's not found until near the end of the game and after you fight the hardest fight (the time traveling Nazis) so it doesn't help as much.

Question regarding the Ninja Clan outfit: How the hell am I supposed to stealth kill everyone in the Armadillo saloon without anyone spotting me? I mean this is loving poo poo, the main saloon itself is pretty easy because you can just use throwing stars from the balcony, but the poker room is loving impossible because there's always someone looking in your direction. What am I missing here?

Ugh, I'm trading this game away first thing tomorrow. gently caress this poo poo.

I like the Ninja stars, even though they're the same thing as the throwing knife.

As far as single-player dlc goes it would be cool if they made a Lost and The Damned style expansion where you play as Dutch and get to terrorize Black Water with your new gang. Dutch seemed like a badass and didn't get enough screen time.

back to my horse question-its an achievement to unlock if you use the same horse in 20 straight missions? Or is it something in game? I can't find a mention of it

edit-found it, it's an achievement. Sorry rappy horse, you're getting replaced!

I wouldn't mind more John Marston action, or maybe a Quick and the Dead rip-off with Bonnie and a corrupt official playing the role of Gene Hackman. Hang 'em High rip-off DLC too please.

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

Rank 10 Survivalist wasn't hard at all. Just do a little research on where all the flowers are, get a bitchin' covered wagon and leisurely cruise around the awesome countryside picking flowers and busting caps.

And if this is in Single Player with the Survivalist Map available, then there's just no excuse to whine at all. :colbert: I did Survivalist 7-10 yesterday in MP without a hitch - not trying to sound like a douche, just saying...

You'll do fine no matter what. That's my motto.
I haven't seen anyone else mention this before, but in the mine, did anyone else come across a really huge fat guy that took like more than 6 shots to kill?

That's one thing I always thought was good of Rockstar for doing with their games is not making 'boss' characters that take like 30 times as many shots as the normal grunts. They're just people in charge, not superhumans.

But in this case I thought it was hilarious that when I saw this random huge fat guy he could sustain way more than anyone else. I especially thought it's odd that it seems like he's the only one I've seen in the 10 or so hours I've played.

I suddenly can't recall, but I think that bobcats have that pissed-off-cat-growl sound. They're mostly silent, and very prevalent between Beecher's Hope and Tall Trees, and surrounding areas.

They also tend to flee a lot more and roam in packs kind of like Wolves. They're all over Nuevo Paraiso, just not when you're looking for them.

"That must weigh heavily on your soul. Let me purge it for you."
So I was pretty happy with my horse, broke it in myself, blackish colour, think it was as fast as they come (never looked into it much, that indicates a fast breed, right) only I finished clearing Pike's basin out and it dropped dead as I was riding to my next waypoint, no enemies around or anything. Maybe I can run forensics on the skin or something, but is that meant to happen?

Something similar happened to me as well. :(

I guess your supposed to take the GTA route and not claim any particular car (or this case, mount) as your own, just call one whenever you need it. I still don't see any purpose to buying a horse at the store either...

So when one dies...you can call another with your deed of the exact kind you want. When you do so it saves the game. When you lose a 3-star horse and whistle for a new ride a 2-star horse will gallop up.

So I finally found the ninja stranger mission where the guy in the hat starts telling you about how he's spied on you then takes off like a phantom. He wants me to go stop a guy from cheating on his wife. Wonderful, now I get to ride around being a patsy for the ninja boss.

I loved this game for the first few missions but I think I'm going to take it back on my way to work this afternoon. Ninjas, swords, and apparently throwing stars(?) in a western game just bother me in a way that I can't reconcile in my head.

I did get that impression, but the difference between Kurtz and Dutch is that Kurtz was a pretty normal authority figure that began to relate and form a bond with people considered the enemy. Dutch was always a pseudo-revolutionary who brought together the lost and downtrodden. Becoming a leader of angry Native Americans is an extension of who he already was.

It could just have been that the fights were tougher, but the native American enemies seemed tough as balls to me. I'd empty a few shots into one and move on, then have to dive into cover a few moments later because what the christ I shot you already he'd be up again.

Where did you get it? The fastest horse, the American Standard, is pure-black and is only found in the last area, West Elizabeth, but there is another horse, very dark brownish black, that's a 2 star found earlier.
