I just got around to playing this, did the first mission for the marshall and on my way back I killed a coyote. All the sudden I have a $400 bounty on my head.

Did this coyote have important friends?

He must have considering you'd have to kill several sheriffs deputies to get a bounty that high. Was he carrying any acme products when you looted him?

Went and turned in a bounty letter I found just to see what I had, and it was 2 counts of murder and 6 counts of something something law (flashed by too quick).

I got caught by police once, and in jail 1 charge of murder flashed by. Which was confusing since I didn't do that, and it didn't show up in my statistics. Clearly the authorities are just pinning unsolved crimes on John Marston :mad:

I got killed with 4,600 dollar bounty because police stop spawning after a while and I was stuck with no one alive in chuparosa since they all formed posses, then only had 8 counts of murder in my stats page (and failed to get the achievement) :\

Man the really nerf some of the guns in the multiplayer modes. I lit up a dude five times across the arms and chest with a Schofield revolver using dead eye and the dude still survived it. I really hope they add a real 'hardcore mode' where it only takes 1 or 2 bullets to kill someone because as is, gang shootouts feel more like an airsoft match than an actual old west shoot out with real guns.

Not well, in my experience.
First level Dead eye 'point at stuff and get marks' system with no tagging. Every time I've used it I just end up getting shot once in the face and killed, despite throwing 5-6 rounds into a person's chest. That semi-auto shotgun might change things though.
Edit: Second level dead eye, apparently.

So I just finished it... great loving game, despite having the ending sorta semi-spoiled for me. Ending credits music is awesome. I gotta say, I actually sort of bust out laughing right at the end, as Jack turns around and it just pops up RED DEAD REDEMPTION in big letters and he's got a very John expression on his face.

Sad I missed the musical interlude in Mexico. Glad I have a save right after Fort Mercer. :clint:

And what the gently caress, I've seriously shot every animal in the game according to my stats, (yes, even ducks) and yet I didn't get the trophy. How the hell do I figure out what's missing? Killed plenty of horses both wild and domestic, too, as well as every type of bird I could find. (Hawks, Eagles, vultures, songbirds, crows, and ducks)

I found two Buffalo Rifle shots to the legs slows it down and takes off a huge chunk of life without outright killing it. Then just do the jousting thing with a horse and your golden. At one point I had six bears chasing me, but if you stay nimble on your horse they really can't touch you.

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.

Did I miss something huge, or is the first time you get to Mexico from the raft? When did you get there on a horse?

Or do you mean when you get on the horse already in Mexico? gently caress! That's a dumbass game trigger, I didn't even hear it start because I wanted to use my badass Kentucky Saddler. poo poo!

It's one of the three challenges of one of the social club challenges, but the one that's exclusive to the PS3.

How do you find ducks? I was just in the swampy bit by thieves and I could hear them but hosed if I got any (I shot every bird I saw).

Right near the water at the Scratching Post is where I found my duck.

e: So I'm taking a bounty back to Chuparosa, riding along the railroad tracks, when four bandits spawn and try to take me out (as usual). I notice the train is coming, so I stay on the tracks and basically play chicken with the train (because the bandits are now riding directly behind me) and turn my horse at the last second... bandits everywhere, holy gently caress.

I've barely broken the law in my game, but on reaching Blackwater my horse stepped on a cat and all the cops went nuts over a $5 bounty, I almost died from getting shot and they sent me to MacFarlane's jail for some reason. They went to the expense of sending me there over a loving cat.
