GODDAMN COUGARS

I was looting a body and out of nowhere, in the middle of my looting animation, I get raped by a cougar. I survive it, kill the cougar, and go to skin it, but rather than going into the skinning animation, John just stands there, endlessly blinking and looking around. Life goes on in the background and I can still get into the menus (though not my inventory) but John won't move, he just stands there, blinking and looking, forcing me to load an earlier save.

Even in death, they're still pissing me off

After a series of failed attempts ending in duels I seem to have killed every poker player in Blackwater.

When I duel black guys or Mexicans I always unload the clip into their faces instead of their balls because I'm not a racist.

Not white guys though.

And certainly not END GAME SPOILER Ross

IF you are playing on the 360 follow these steps.

1. Get a horse and find a long flat area to ride it on
2. Pull out your pistol
3. Use the right control stick to move the camera so you are looking behind yourself
4. loving mash the gently caress out of left trigger

If done correctly John starts to twist around at high speeds and flail his arms around. Once you get the hang of it try shooting your pistol during it.

I seem to have taken a retarded step back in Dueling. I hadn't lost a single duel, mostly disarming my opponents with ease.
Now suddenly I do the same tactic as I always have - wait for them to start drawing, white close shot in their gun, win - doesn't work.

It's ok though because my game had flying bunnies and when I shot banditos riding through a town in the head, the little blood cauliflowers all stayed in the air as if to say "This is what happens"

I love this game and REALLY hope they bring out some L&D or BoGT style DLC. That's a lot of acronyms.

-Hey Joe, those cougars are the poo poo, but what can we do to make those fuckers even more powerful?
-I don't know Mike, you mean more powerful than being able to spawn out of nowhere, kill in an instant and sometimes even hunt in packs?
-...yes
-Well, we could make the cougars break the game at will, but that would be stupid.

Ffffuck, switching on the drunk code while galloping full-speed on a horse doesn't result in drunk horse riding :qq: Instead, John will be 100% sober until he dismounts.

Is it a story-related character? Sometimes, you're "forced" to kill them (ie: disarm won't work).

Endgame- I felt a grim satisfaction putting eight rounds in Ross' face, from the very gun he handed to Jack's father. Felt like I made a choice that contributed to the story.

Philip J Fry posted:

Even better, I used the high powered pistol -- the gun that Ross gives John in Blackwater.

I did the same thing, and it felt fuckin glorious. The subtlety of it was much more satisfying than any other weapon would have been. I liked the implication that with Ross' smarmy attitude in handing John the weapon, he couldn't have known that that exact firearm would be his (and in my case, his family's) undoing. Woop.

All that said, I find it pretty easy and enjoyable to follow along in immersion in this game, so I really enjoyed the story and felt that the final "hours" of the game were loving epic. Especially Dutch's portions, and then the loving raid on Beecher's Hope :aaaaa: Frantically fighting from all sides with his family caught in the mix was intense as hell

Finally, I really think that the VA for John Marston (and the dialogue written for him) was incredible, and really was able to help the game soar during it's already strong parts. I'm glad I bought this game, and I'm less than 20 levels from my Buffalo now :unsmith:

The water needs to cover at least marston's shoulders while standing. I don't really know what you're doing wading into so much water in the first place, there's nothing there.

Really? Because I got killed almost instantly after wading out into the water just north of the MacFarlane Ranch, with the falls. I literally made it about a step or two, just enough to get to his ankles / shins, when all of a sudden I just... died.

I mostly did it out of sheer curiosity, so it's my own stupid fault, but come on R* :(

Really? Maybe different bodies of water treat you differently then :psyduck: Because I sure have waded way deeper than that just to try it out (and to skin a cougar that fell in a pond, this happened in the swamps near Thieves Landing), and in multiplayer it seems you can go as far as your character's head.

I dreamed that I found a beaver spawn in Mexico and was able to finish that stranger quest that requires them.

On a related note, I hope in a sequel or maybe DLC they expand on the hunting to include animal tracks in an animals natural spawn area that leads you to a random spot (maybe like the system in Arkham Asylum) that will spawn that animal in some random amount time (say between 30s and 2mins). It would give people who are looking for a particular animal a way to track it down rather than wander around waiting for spawns and would simulate hunting a bit better.

I had the best luck with pairs of beavers continuously spawning south of Blackwater where the road bends west.

Then a Cougar hosed my horse, then me, with absolutely no time for me to react.

Back to last save.

I destroyed every Cougar in the area for about 20 minutes but no more beavers spawned. Cougars are assholes.

EDIT: After 40+ hours I finally made it to West Elizabeth (I spend a lot of time riding around). Then a few minutes later as I was exploring Tall Trees I was raped by a bear who was a apparently trained by ninjas. This game

"I've got the knowledge!"

In the Landon Ricketts mission 'Lucky in Love,' which serves as the tutorial mission for duels (whose loving idea was it to put this halfway through the game?), do I have to kill Muller in the duel? I've been through more than twenty duels already in the game, all of which I won through disarm - I'm trying to play as a John Wayne version of Marston who, while willing to get some killing done to get the job finished, isn't a sociopathic mass murderer - and I'm not exactly thrilled at the thought of being forced by a mission to headshot some poor bastard when I'm more than capable of outgunning him to the degree of shooting his gun out of his hand and making him live the rest of his life in shame instead of turning him into a martyr. I keep getting smoked because, unlike the typical duels I've been in, I can't just target his arm and then shoot. It wants me to loving rape him about the face, neck, and head and I just haven't got any interest in doing so if I don't have to.

I'm chillaxing in Mexico, I've been using the same horse that I got from Bonnie - I'm whoring for the 20 missions same horse achievement, but I'm starting to wonder if it's ever going to arrive?

Soooo, if I buy a horse, does it automagically replace my current horse? Can I 'own' more than one horse at a time and pick the horse I use for a mission? I roped a sweet looking horse in Mexico, broke him, and the game 'saved' as if I'd done something special. I let the horse go because I don't want to switch horses in the middle of the river, so to speak.

When you buy a horse deed, it sits in your inventory. When you want to use that horse, select the deed in the menu and it becomes your 'hitched' horse.

I got the 20 missions on the same horse one before I got to Mexico, using the stallion from the horsebreaking mission with Bonnie, so you should have gotten it by now unless you hit a bug or made a mistake.
