Took me a while, but I can finally hear non-friends communicate over XBL. My first game showed me everything that is wrong about it. Racism, homophobia, horrible mics, getting called a camper, pussy, and glitcher over legit kills. But there were some pluses: After getting repeatedly dominated by one player over 3 shootout rounds, I managed to get a 14 kill streak right off the bat using dynamite in Armadillo (including the guy who kept killing me) and then the LeMat. Later on got a 7 kill streak and ended the match 25/5 K/D and MVP. Our team completely stomped them something like 3500 to 1600.

Somehow, I got the "kill all animals" thing without actually killing everything... I shot a goat in mexico and found a duck and *plinky noise* got it. Weird.

Haha I said what knifing a hog-tied player did a few pages ago but I'm glad people missed it because the more recent post doesn't say what it does and let's you experience the surprise yourself. GO DO IT.

Has anyone happened on the 2 guys with the TNT in Elizabeth? Also, did someone find the drunk code or what?

Yeah, it's kind of weird though since they're not really that far from town and bandits attack you for some reason. The downside to the random encounter thing is that you can spend a lot of time with the game and not see some events/only get them once. I'm pretty far into the game (post "Truth") and have only encountered a stagecoach robbery once and even then it was pretty far into the game before it happened.

[ENDGAME]It sure was satisfying putting a bullet in Ross using the gun he gave my father. Unlocking the US Marshal's outfit was much easier than I expected. I think I finished it inside of 10 game hours and that included a death at Tumbleweed and respawn at Rathskellar.

Finally finished it. That was outstanding. When ENDGAME SPOILERS John got gunned down it hit me in the gut. I can't remember the last time, if ever, I've had a physical reaction to a game (other than screaming like a girl at the first Resident Evil). The sense of dread in the last few missions was really palpable.. My biggest complaint about the game is that I really wish they had done away with the "ride and listen to exposition" parts of the game as the cinematic camera whips wildly around so you can't focus on anything. Hell, why don't they show us what happened in the past in a cut-scene as John is riding - that would have more impact. Or even better, have you be able to interact in the cut-scene as kind of a mini-game within a game, as sort of John telling the story. Let the player play as John working with Williamson at one of those bank robberies, killing, and SEEING Williamson turn from wannabe Robin Hood to insane. Sure, you couldn't really change the outcomes in those exposition mini-games, but they would help with immersion a good bit - especially for guys like Williamson and Dutch. You hear about what bad guys they are, but you never really see it, so it doesn't hit home quite as much, especially with Williamson who just sort of appears once and then he's gone. bobzmuda fucked around with this message at 15:14 on Jun 4, 2010 |

I knoew the game certainly wants us to feel like his motives might be noble, but then Dutch blew that innocent girl's brains all over you during his escape. That kinda solidified the whole bad guy thing for me.

I don't care if he's good or bad, I just wanted to be more emotionally invested in him than just a few missions at the end of the game. This goes double for Williamson, who we hear lots of talk about and then only shows up for 1 mission IIRC

I know this has been asked before, but what's the most consistent way to win a bar fight? Only one time have I been able to get the prompt to tackle someone, which seems to be the only way to knock someone out. I've never been able to trigger it again, and it seems impossible to keep someone down without doing it, so those people who got the trophy/achievement, how did you do it?

Okay this is making me mad. I'm at 99.9% completion, the only thing I am missing is one map area in West Elizabeth. The store in Blackwater will not sell me the Great Plains map. I already bought the tall trees map. What the hell? Does anyone have a map that has all the locations listed on it, Ill just run there myself if I have any idea where it is. I've been all over the drat place doing missions and poo poo I don't know how I missed a map area.

The one place that was hard for me to realize that I missed was that bridge between the land west of Thieves' Landing and south of that camp in W.E.. It's a little rail bridge that is it's own location, and after having bought every map, it never showed up. You had to physically cross it.

I haven't even tried it yet but I can imagine that ending up in a bloodbath for everyone involved including my loving horse. If a wolf even looks at my horse now I go on a killing spree. *twitch* VVV Something tells me I will know exactly what is going to happen if I come across that TNT camp... VVV

The couple of times I accepted, he actually just said "Get me xxxx", rather than challenging who before what. The one time I was challenged by time, it was to shoot some birds out of the sky, which were already in the air and I took out in one dead-eye. They're not really that bad. For the ones with "bring me some ____ skins", you aren't even timed. Its just an excuse for you to hunt and get immediately payed. The NPCs I wonder about are the TNT camp I saw a little south west of Blackwater.

Ok so I was bored one weekend and havn't bought a new game in awhile so I thought with the awesome reviews, reading this thread and taken some advice from my friend I'd go and buy RDR. I've played it for 3 or 4 hours total now and so far it seems like I'm just doing chores and doing a bunch of times wasters. I heard some cattle, ride from town to town on a horse played poker and tamed some wild horses. To me it seems like this game is just full of a bunch of time wasting mechanics such as riding from town to town or balancing my character to tame a horse or kill a bunch of aniamals or pick some wild flowers??? I don't have too much experiance playing games like this so maybe I'm playing it wrong? It just seems like I have to try to have fun instead of it just being fun. I did just do a mission where I had to kill a bunch of people but even then I had to ride a horse for awhile to get there... Any advice or maybe this type of game just isn't for me?

Get on top of a building, start shooting lawmen. If you still aren't entertained then the game may not be for you. Also, try enjoying the game instead of winning or beat it. (Not meant as an insult, just saying don't play it as trying to reach the end, try enjoying the atmosphere, NPCs, and setting.)

Yeah I do mostly play FPSs but I do enjoy other types of games as well. I love the graphics and the theme of the game but I guess I was just expecting more action. Usually I play a game before I buy it so it's totally my fault. I'm still going to give it another chance before deciding what to do with it. Regretfully I bought it from gamestop full price so returning does not seem to be a viable option. If I wanted to offer a goon a trade would I do that in SA mart?

Yeah, SA Mart would take care of you pretty well. Give it another try, and remember that you're in a sandbox game not a rail shooter. The idea is that you immerse yourself in the environment instead of just shooting between cut-scenes. Every ride can be its own adventure, which means a long ride between towns shouldn't be seen as a time sink but rather just another opportunity for game play.

There is a crap load of horse riding in between missions unless you are willing to fast travel using camps, I don't like using it personally because I am spectacularly good at finding trouble just wandering about at a steady trot. The missions do get better, also more weapons to choose from. Although admittedly the Winchester is still my go to gun in a big shootout. I actually think the hunting is the most fun, especially when I get caught out by a cougar or pack of wolves, although the wolves are pretty easy to thin out on horseback.

Thanks for the replies. I'm not quick to giving it up quite yet and am usually able to find something I like about a game. For instance, the treasure hunter part is a pretty cool aspect. I really wish other video game developers would stop holding people hands so much... It's really satisfying when you finally figure out something thats hard.

So the "connection issue" thing that keeps me from playing in any multiplayer game that has more than like 3 people in it? Not my internet connection. A friend of mine came over and was playing online perfectly fine on his Xbox while I was still getting the infamous connection issue bug. It's aggravating that they haven't released an update for it yet, I know I'm not the only one this has happened to; it's even more annoying that everytime I fail to join a game the game hangs on a loading screen and I have to log out to dashboard.

Just take your time with it, don't expect something mindless like Call of Duty deathmatch with constant flashes and pops. Some of the gunfights are epic though, just wait until you first get to raid Tumbleweed.

Mr. Heliotrope posted:Yeah I had the same thing happen: They all go "You've got experience setting stuff up like this right? Of course you do, now do it!" So I just kinda guessed where to set the explosives. I was waiting for the people in the back to go over the first one, and then I could go BOOM BOOM BOOM and maybe get all of them. Of course Luisa flipped out, told me I blew it, and everyone fired. Thanks a lot. Apparently you need to start blowing up once the first people go over the first one and the way I had it set up made the rest of the explosives useless if I did that. Heh, the thing that made me chuckle was that I've actually been trained in preparing an explosive-based ambush, and she said I hosed it up too  So I dumbed it down the second time and just placed them in a line on the center of the road, and realized that she's intending the wagons to be destroyed by the explosives as a priority, and doesn't really care about you waxing the entire convoy in one go. So if that doesn't happen perfectly, then she'll bitch about it. I guess I/We were over thinking it  liquidypoo posted:You guys should try the multiplayer dead eye with throwing knives I think it was you that showed me this yesterday and I kept doing it to that pubbie fag SH4DOW_TR4C3UR (shafordow!) while he was trying to snipe me with the Rolling Block @ like 400m LOL.
