Quick question, I'm enjoying the poker ( the 10 and 25 dollar buy ins at the ranch and armadillo ) so far but I was wondering if you could cash out at any time or do you have to bust the other players to win?

Like if I buy in for 25 bucks and get like 250 chips can I cash out at like 500 chips with 50 bucks? Cause I was trying to win some money at poker last night and it was hard to bust everyone at the table then I thought it might be cash game format and you could just cash out w/ your chips.

Also, as an amusing side note, I'm only a few hours into the game and I was out exploring north of Bonnies ranch and I saw a waterfall and a little pool at the bottom of it, "poo poo yeah!" I proclaimed as it was quite hot and dusty out here in the sun and proceeded to jump in for a dip.

"DEAD!"

That was when I knew I was playing a Rockstar game, shades of GTA3, it woulda been nice to be able to go for a swim but other then that one area I havent found many other "swimmable" areas so far so its not a huge losss. Still would have been nice to have saved prior to jumping in, I had a shitload of skins/meat/antlers/flowers.

That's not the Clive Barker way. The Clive Barker way is for the townsfolk of each town to hold on to each other in such a way that their bodies form a giant man, then fight each other as giant men.

And don't forget the pointless gay sex. Christ that was a stupid short story.

Cash out at any time. The money you make is your chip total/10.

gently caress yes, the Master Hunter outfit will motivate me to 100% this game

Only worry is - the article says the outfits will have associated challenges, like the Assassin one. Hopefully people who already have all the bounties or whatever aren't locked out if one of the criteria is to bring in a live bounty from X gang or something similar.

A bounty from a given gang isn't a problem since the game starts giving you nameless dudes to bring in, but it could be an issue if there's a named guy you have to bring in and you already have prior to the patch.

Considering they're patching out that problem with the Assassin's outfit I think they'll have that fixed up.

A pretty cool song plays when you get to Mexico for the first time, but it's canceled if you get off the horse you're riding at the time, which is not your horse, so a lot of people miss the song because they jump off the one they're riding to call their own.

I wish I hadn't known about the song until I actually got there. By that time I'd listened to the song 100 times which kinda spoiled the cool factor.

Actually it was still awesome.

When I did the same thing, I immediately reloaded. It was pretty worth it, even after having to kill those 800 guys all over again.

just beat it. amazing ending. SPOILERS FOR END GAME STUFF I was hoping that after I got all that revenge out of my system on Ross and his wife/brother, that the Mysterious Stranger would show up to Jack as one last stranger mission by John's grave, but when I returned back to the Marston Ranch, no one was there. It's such a loving bummer coming back to the ranch which used to have John, Abigail, Jack and his uncle wandering around, doing everyday ranch stuff to just empty property, not even hired hands tending the horses.

Also, can the Aztec Gold stranger mission be done with Jack or did I have to do it with John? Lucky for me I've been using saving alternately between two slots so I have a save right before the mission where he dies. if it's a John-only stranger mission, I can always reload my previous save. Now the only question is do I want to work towards 100% as John or Jack... I can always do it as John and drag out the very very last mission until I get 99.whatever% getting as much family time as possible. Hell I may just never do the last mission and let him live happily ever after. Take that, Rockstar.

It was cool, but I agree. I really felt like it was spoiled. When I finished Mercer all I thought was:

"Okay, is this when this mythical amazing song plays?"

"How about now?"

"Now?"

"Oh, when I get on the horse..."

"This is pretty atmospheric, but one of the greatest gaming moments ever? Ehhhh, I dunno..."

I'm sure coming upon that fresh would have been completely different.

Yes. You can do everything in Post Endgame except for "I Know You" which doesn't count toward the total 100%.

All stranger missions, except mysterious stranger, which doesn't count for 100%, can be done after the last mission.

The federales sure went out of their way to torch Luisa's remote shack. And, I think how Jack chases Ross' rear end into Mexico is another counterpoint that it probably didn't matter where or how far they ran, they'd get caught up with by somebody.

Well, I've been listening to the game's soundtrack over and over.

I've read this thread constantly and avoided the spoilers.

I've waited patiently.

Now, I finally got my fixed Xbox 360 back in today after a year of leaving it RRoD'ed and dusty in a corner while out at school. I also grabbed the $1 for a month of Xbox Live Gold to partake in the Free Roam, if I feel the inclination.

While I bought the game close to when it came out and played it for a bit on my friend's small Standard Definition television, this game is :aaaaa: and :monocle: on a 60" 1080i HD television with 5.1 surround sound. I mean, gently caress, it's like I'm cumming in my pants with the visuals.

There's some aliasing issues with that resolution and component cables, but drat, I am excited as hell to play through the game for real this time. Also to finally take a gander at the multiplayer.

This cowboy's back in the saddle and ready to ride with the gang again. :clint:

Is it a glitch or something that when you get your treasure hunter bag, items keep resetting to 5 after you load up a game? I had 10 medicine on me when I saved but when I loaded up the game earlier, I was back at 5.

Also, do buffalo respawn at all? Manifest Destiny requires me to kill 20 of them, but I'd hate to kill them all off and not have any more buffalo hides to sell down in Mexico.

Don't feel too bad, while the buffalo remains "near threatened", it has recovered pretty remarkably from a low point when I believe (IIRC) there were only a few hundred left in the wild.

Haha, yes, I know that. I meant, the fact that they put that IN THE GAME just reminded me of how we really almost killed all of them.

Can't wait to play a game that has us hunting to extinction the mammoth and the the sabertooth tiger, all the way to the monk seal and the Baiji River dolphin. Then topping it off by covering half the ocean with crude oil.

That's a really good point. This might actually be the best cultural commentary in the game. That one Indian dude even gives you the "You realize you're just senselessly killing these Buffalo for fun, right? You're going to ruin everything." speech on the way to a mission.

Then, here we all are, blowing the fuckers away for an Achievement.

It's kind of funny, if you look up the wiki entry, the guy who supposedly saved the buffalo from extinction died in 1911. Welp, time to undo his work.

I suppose you can kill them all of them load from a previous save after you get the trophy/achievement.

Reset the console, try again and pray. I got locked up there twice before it finally let me advance. That mission is super bugged, at least 75% of the glitches and bugs I found in the game happened in that one.
