I was playing poker last night and I got a full house, twos over aces, so I went all in and the other guy had a full house, aces over twos. There was an ace and two twos on the table, meaning the fucker got dealt two aces. He got a bullet between the eyes for that poo poo.

smarion2 posted: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? It's Grand Theft Auto in the Wild West. You're not playing wrong, it just offers a very particular experience. And since you're new, the best way to have fun in Sandbox games is to be creatively murderous.

Crows Turn Off posted:The title of the thread should really just be Red Dead Redemption: Do Bonnie's Missions. It's weird, since I'm pretty sure that they force you to do the Bonnie mission where you have to hogtie the horses. Maybe not "force", but there was a stretch of time where nothing was going on and there were no other NPC mission starts active on the map, so I went ahead and did that mission and got the lasso. Plus the lasso becomes an integral part of a few missions... I'm sure you have no choice but to get it eventually. Oh, and this game... I was reluctant to buy it because I hate paying $60 for a game, since I think that's pretty excessive. This game was worth every dollar, and I'm glad I went ahead and got it instead of waiting several months until it dropped $10 (A-list games like this seem to stay high-priced for a while). The only minor complaints I have so far is how easily honor goes up, and some of the annoying/bad voice acting. There was also one moment where the game locked up before a duel and didn't keep my autosave... lost an hour of gameplay. Also, is the rumor true that you can drag people behind your horse instead of putting them on the rear? I'm assuming you have to be a total bastard to get that ability, but I was hoping it opens up later in the game. I'd love to tie and drag one of the whore-stabby guys through a field of cacti, or drag one of the townsfolk-dragging bandits off a cliff.

muscles like this? posted:The one where they want you to drive their wagon? Yeah, it's kind of weird though since they're not really that far from town and bandits attack you for some reason. I found a camp of NPCs in Tall Trees who started talking about how they better be careful with all this dynamite they had. I watched them from a distance and a few seconds later, the camp just explodes and the two guys go flying. I laughed like mad. Sorry pardners, but you just wasn't careful enough for the Ooold West.

The two TNT guys I happened above didn't give a quest or anything. It's out in the forest and this one guy is doing something with sticks of dynamite on a table. He yells at the other one to bring him the TNT. Once he does that, he takes two steps and lights a cigarette. I waited for the TNT to blow but nothing happened. After a little bit I opened a chest lying on the ground and that got the dynamite guy to light one and throw it at me. He missed and he blew up the TNT crate, making them fly through the air.

I thought you had to actually tie them to your horse. I always got off my horse immediately if I hogtied someone while riding. Well, I think I found what I'm going to be doing for a few hours now. Edit: VV I think it's because every other thing in this game requires you to "unlock" it first. You don't get to mark Deadeye targets until after a certain mission, for instance. Plus I assumed that taking off on your horse with a guy lassoed would just auto-break the lasso. King Vidiot fucked around with this message at 19:39 on Jun 4, 2010 |

All you need is a lasso and a horse. Sit on the horse, lasso the guy, keep holding the left trigger, and take off galloping.

The missions get considerably more fun and less "chore-like" after you leave the MacFarlane ranch area. Though there are still occasional lame ones. But yeah the game is meant to be played at a slower pace than FPS games and even most sandbox games like GTA. I enjoy that aspect of it, though it's not for everyone

 MP Solomon's Folly (PS3 Exclusive Hideout) PVP Protipzzzz: (AKA How to be a Dead Eye-Whoring/Camping/Posse-Protecting rear end in a top hat/Badass)Alrighty - I'm pretty sure I've discovered that the Ammunition/Dead Eye chest campsites are a triggered spawn, and they only show up for you, unless another player has triggered it in that same spot for themselves as well. I've also discovered/determined the most ridiculously effective way to police your posse's ownership of the Soloman's Folly hideout if people are coming around trying to poo poo it up. If you're familiar with that hideout, you know the routine of it glitching spawns, causing everyone else to have to ride out past the tracks to reset it, right? This area concept is key to slapping noobs. From here, I'll describe the process with blurry cellphone pictures and some elite shooping! ========== You've noticed a flock of nooblets trying to harass your awesome XP farming group @ Solomon's. You're not going to loving just roll over and let them pwn you while breathing heavily and laughing prepubescently into their mics, ARE YOU? Of goddamn course you're not. It's ownin' time 
** When participating in Gang Hideouts, RDR MP restricts Casual and Normal aim settings against other players, to help facilitate the cooperation between posse's in the completion of the hideout - ie: You won't auto-target players in another posse Some Notes:
Hope this helps some people get more comfortable with Red Dead PVP, because it's a very aggressive means to control your territory and help protect your buddies. Once you get comfortable with your controls and paying attention to enemy colored dots on the minimap/radar, you'll be able to battle-track everything going on around you. Advanced situational awareness coupled with the ammunition and Dead Eye location @ SF, a single player can effectively dominate multiple adversaries in literally seconds. My personal record as of yesterday was killing six rival players within five seconds as they were attempting to grief my Solomon's XP posse. Ever since I figured these tactics out, I've never had to Find A New Free Roam to avoid griefers. My buddies and I have managed to stand our ground and out-grief, out-kill, out-absolutely bitchslap anyone that came to gently caress with us @ Solomon's. If you've rolled with Rawdawg_ in PVP/XP @ Solomon's, you know what I'm talkin about PS: Couple this with liquidypoo's hilarious tactic of Dead Eye Throwing Knives, and you'll be able to out-grief the griefers with a quickness. Nothing pisses off a bully more than killing him with a throwing knife from 300 yards away while he fails to snipe you

finished the game last night, just finished reading the thread. overall i liked the ending, john dying, his son growing up, etc. I was really annoyed that i john couldn't take out ross during his last stand. I replayed the mission once hoping that instead of smuggly lighting his cigar the camera would pan over both men's dead bodies, showing that it was over. "Remember my family" worked out okay though. My biggest problem is that it didn't feel as epic as it was supposed to be. I mean, by the time 20 guys have me corned in a barn, i've shot and killed over 1000 men in the last few months, and just prior to this took out probably 30 men with out a rock in a field for cover. the idea that John Marston would have no option but to go all butch and sundance is cool if it were plausible that there were enough men outside to actually kill him... so i made my own ending: as jack i went to blackwater, walked into the office where ross had worked, shot the clerk in the head, and then killed every lawman in the town. I think it's what john would have done at his age, and it's a great tragic ending that rebonding with his son is actually what triggered jack following in his footsteps. sorry for the massive spoiler block. also, today at work it occurred to me that while it's almost certainly not intentional, wearing the legend of the west outfit as john and then later as grownup jack reminds me of El Topo.

I just found out you can "Stealth kill" people who are asleep. I was just minding my own business in Armadillo during the night when I saw 2 gang members lay down a couple of mattresses. I took out my knife and wowzers, I could press B to slit their throats. I don't know if this is awful and sickening for the game developers to put in!

Stoic Commie posted:Why isn't my improvised campsite giving me ammo? I believe it only gives you ammo if you're completely empty. And even then, it doesn't give you much. I tested it out with the basic campsite and I only got 10 repeater bullets. Maybe the improved one gives more, but I think it's just for emergency situations that should never come up so long as you actually aim at targets.

Other than maybe the first few missions in the game, I can't even remember a time when I was even close to running out of ammo. Occasionally I might run low on pistol or sniper rifle ammo, but that's okay because I can pull out one of my other 8 guns and problem solved.

I didn't know what the Dead Man's Hand was, until someone in this thread mentioned the HBO series Deadwood. Having watched the first few episodes, I came to the conclusion that Wild Bill Hickok was a badass. Thus, I looked him up on Wikipedia and came across the Dead Man's Hand section. I had that hand! Kind of. Two Aces, Two 8s, though I don't think they were of black suits. But I did have the game glitch on me when I won the round with that hand. It was in mexico, where (mexico ending spoiler) I had already put the guy you help into power, so the lawmen would occationally attack you when not wearing the reye's rebel outfit. One of them clipped through my poker table and started blasting me in the face! I stood up from the table as if having quit out from the game and returned fire just in time to not die. Can't help but look back at it now with a bit of  .

Nothing pisses off a bully more than killing him with a throwing knife from 300 yards away while he fails to snipe you Just a quick addition to this: sometimes after painting, I've had my character just automatically chuck the knife without me hitting R2 (that's RT for you 360 people (I think)). I believe this has to do with the mechanic that automatically starts firing for you when you paint an X for each bullet in your clip/chamber/etc. Failing that, you can still mash R2/RT if you haven't thrown yet; just make drat sure it's painted an X for you to throw at. Also, if for some strange reason you want to stop yourself from throwing at something you've painted at, you can always click the right stick before you throw. I haven't really played with this, but I'm pretty sure cancelling your dead eye after painting something just turns it into a standard throwing arc. But really, why would you want to do that? Edit: It wasn't just shafourdow we were griefing. Don't forget the guy with the Mexican character, Gee1938 or something like that. He trash talked once, then immediately turned his headset off
