By the by, did anyone order any of the special edition stuff from their website (the dice, cards, soap and tnt candle)? I ordered 2 things when I first found out about them, which was probably about a weeks ago, and I got an email a couple days ago telling me that my order was canceled because they ended up not having enough stock to cover my order.

Just wondering if anyone else was lucky enough to get theirs shipped, or if they got hosed on the deal as well.

It would've been a cool effect on your dead-eye meter. You can't run on foot as fast but your dead-eye meter drains slower while smoking, you basically get to play the game as the Marlboro man! :haw: Hell, I only ever get off my horse when I have to, to skin animals, pick plants, or hogtie and hoist up bounties, so it would be pretty advantageous to people who play like me.

Funny story from last night: I was finally completing the Flowers for a Lady stranger quest, looking for the Wild Feverfew around Hannigan's Stead at night. I come across one of those women asking for help that steal your horse if you stand around, the 2nd one I've ever encountered in my time playing single-player, so I decided to get some revenge for the first one I saw way back when that actually stole my horse. So I pull out my lasso and drag her behind my horse close to the edge of the cliff on the southern-ish side of Hannigan's Stead, just enough to let her fall to her death. Bitch won't be stealing horses in her underwear anymore. :clint:

Haha, you just reminded me of the time I did this during one of my first few multiplayer free roams. It's in a great spot because if you are with some guys just messing around doing the 3 gang hideouts in the western area of New Austin and then decide to go to Mexico in your brand new stagecoach from Gaptooth Breach, the quickest way is across that bridge. I ended up making it about halfway across at full speed before sending myself and a few goons plummeting into the waters below.

Yeah, I was playing with another goon, he was driving, and he grinded about halfway across the bridge, before we fell off, but the horses hung on for a few seconds, so we had plenty of time to realize what was going to happen before we fell to our deaths. We tried again, with me driving this time, and we got about 10% of the way through before I hit a bump and catapulted myself way off the bridge into the water, and the coach lost control and sent him in not too much long after.

So how do I duel without dying? It used to be so easy but now that I have to place the lockon myself I lose every time. I have to duel for a mission and I keep losing, even though I'm locking on to his head and shooting he always gets me first.

I swear that during duels, you've had to lock-on manually since the beginning.

The key to dueling is to have your bar higher than their bar. And you can only lock-on when the reticule is white.

Finally, what kind of scrub shoots for their head? Always go for the gun. It's a guaranteed win. :colbert:

Play with goons, probably. That said, the multiplayer definitely isn't for me.

Right as soon as everyone is done with the cinematic "i'm staring your down" posturing part of the duel and the camera switches back to behind your character, move your right stick down so your hand is closer to your gun. As soon as you see DRAW you hit L2 and move your gun to what you want to hit. The hardest part is timing the crosshairs with R2. It's infinitely easier if you just target the hand because it seems to be a win like 99/100 times.

For some of the scripted duels though you can't do a disarm and will have to kill the bastard.

So you did the challenge after you had gotten the sniper rifle? seems a bit silly to wait that long to do something relatively easy

I think some people MASSIVE ENDGAME SPOILER prefer to play as John instead of Jack. So they make the extra before the end game save so they can go back and complete all the side stuff.

(HERE BE ENDING SPOILERS)

Just finished about an hour ago. Good lord the ending. The sense of dread from the moment John is reunited with his family, when you just KNOW something awful is going to happen. But I never expected John to die. This is a videogame, the player character doesn't die (unless you lose)! I felt like I'd been punched in the gut.

But that's the thing. This is a videogame. It's a dumb toy for stupid children with no attention span. The only thing I've ever felt playing a game is the hollow sense of catharsis when you press a button and some blood comes out of a man.

I can't believe it but Rockstar has, at a stroke, redeemed itself for GTA4's awful story. And I can't wait to see what they do next.

Yeah, I have a story about that one woman who acts as a decoy for the bandits...not quite as badass, but still pretty funny. After I finished off the posse, I tried to rope and hogtie her (to get that dumb train tracks achievement for one thing) but I missed with the lasso and she went running off into the brush and cacti. About that time I heard a bunch of barking and howling, followed shortly by screaming and then silence.

She was chased down and eaten by a pack of wolves. :D

Well, obviously there's something wrong with you not seeing how those dark-skinned savages have such a natural aptitude for violence, one that the white man could never understand. :colbert:
Actually, I thought that for a majority of the cast of the game.
