muscles like this? posted:Also when most people think poker they think Five Card Draw and not Texas Hold 'Em. .... which doesn't make a lick of difference in the comprehension and ranking of the different hands. At all. And that was the main complaint people are having about poker, not the ins and out of how the betting works, which is the only thing that really changes in Hold'Em. Bloody Hedgehog posted:Because prior to 10 years ago, no one played poker but lowlifes, compulsive gamblers, and men getting away from their abrasive wives for the night. ... what? Granted it was over 10 years ago (more like 20) but I learned how to play Poker when I was in Middle School, and while I would accede that mostly boys/guys would learn/know how to play at that age, by the time I got to college about 10 years ago, the average person I went to school with (but hey, this is in New York City, so maybe we're crazy what with our lowlives and compulsive gamblers) at least had a rough idea of how poker works, in the sense that they could at least figure out that 4 of a kind is better than 3 of a kind, and that's better than a pair. Which as I said is all the understanding you really need to actually win at poker in this game, for the most part. So yeah... I dunno where you're going with that one. Smoothrich posted:The black horse is the fastest, the golden horse is balanced, and the white horse is slowest but has the most HP for falls and getting shot at Maybe it's just me, but I think the Kentucky Saddler (gold horse) isn't so much balanced as it's the most agile horse. I had no problem with a lot of the twisty ridge paths on that thing, but I regularly had to slow down with the American Standardbred and the Hungarian Half-breed. Particular examples are that northern trail by the river in West Elizabeth that leads up to Cochinay and that path going up Nekoti Rock. Fuzz fucked around with this message at 01:34 on Jun 7, 2010 |

This is probably a stupid question . . . Every time I sign online and check my journal it says to complete Fort Mercer, then I move on to Tumbleweed. I have achieved lvl 3 Lawman (or whatever) but will it say Fort Mercer every time I sign on? If any Xbox goons get a posse together tonight send and invite.

Only as long as they're doing their handshake/dance/hip thrust move thing during the game start countdown as opposed to just leaning up against a wall, smokin' or whatnots.

I had to drive 50km to finally find the game in store, and the place I got it from had sold out 8 times in 12 days. Absurd. I've been playing the game for about 10 hours and I'm having an absolute ball. The dialogue at some points is just hilarious. The poker game in Mexico got me actually laughing out loud, as well as basically anything to do with Nigel. Excellent game. The bugs are a little frustrating, like when the horses of carts get stuck in the ground and the carts/carriages just bounce around. I find that shooting one horse will usually unstick them, but in the assault of Fort Mercer, you can't do that. A little frustrating, but far from game-breaking.

It seems awfully goony that so many people are posting how they have no idea how poker works and had to flail their way through the minigames randomly. Just look up the rules, there's barely any combinations of cards. The ranking of the hands are: High card Pair Two pair Three of a kind Straight Flush Full House Four of a kind Straight flush Royal flush Having the same hand but higher cards makes you win. A typical tactic is to fold often unless you start with a high card (pref. an Ace) or a pair, or at least wait until the first 3 cards are shown to see what your hand could be. It is a very intuitive and fun game.

Just finished the game. *shuffles his Top Ten around to make room* In the final scene , the duel with Edgar, I somehow managed to time it so that the sun was setting behind Jack's head, and in the cutscene which set up the duel, I looked like a goddamn avenging angel.

Wow, this is the first game I bought for the PS3 (or any system) since GTA 4... last January. And the most fun I've had. Great gameplay, the design is nice, and the BEST soundtrack I've heard on a game. It would only be better if they actually played Ennio Morricone's music from the old Leone westerns. Multiplayer is phenominally fun. Some bastard spent the good part of 20 minutes chasing me across Mexico to kill me. I'm "egbertsouse" on PSN.

Sorry if this has been posted before but what constitutes a win in black jack? Do you have to wait until the other players bust out like in poker or do you have to double your money, I played for like 45 min going up and down and came close to doubling up to $500(started with 250) but got frustrated and left. Seems like since you're against the house Blackjack should be cash game where you can leave with your winnings.

At the same time it's kinda sad that because it's an unattractive naked woman, no one cares, but if they made her look like Salma Hayek, it would be a big deal. Or maybe not. The media seems to be bored of video game controversy. Like Assassin's Creed 2 having a real pope as the final boss would've been a huge deal not too long ago.

As far as the achievement goes, I know for a fact that as long as you walk away with more chips than you start with, you'll get the achievement. (I won my first hand and quit, and got the achievement.) I'm fairly certain that you don't have to bust the other players to make a profit. You can just quit and you'll be credited according to your final chip amount.

Could someone outline the endgame for me a little bit? *Major Spoilers* I just finished the mission "The Last Enemy That Shall Be Destroyed." John just died and I'm now playing the game as Jack. Is there an alternate path I can take where John doesn't get killed? Or do you always end up playing as Jack in the end? I'm sure this has been asked several times, but I'm scared to roll over other spoiler texts in fear of that it may spoil something a little further on.

Mad Doctor Cthulhu posted:I did have one really odd moment when (ENDGAME) I faced off against Ross. I forgot that the guy I had on me was the High Powered Pistol. When I went to draw, I was amazed I could place eight shots. Five of them went for Ross's face, and the others went to his chest. When I drew, Ross actually ducked but the pistol still destroyed him before he had a chance to get a shot off. As Jack walked away and the credits rolled, I realized I had killed the motherfucker with the same gun he gave John back in Blackwater. I had to smile at that. Talk about irony, you rat bastard. I really, REALLY wish I'd thought to do this!

I still have pretty far to go in the game, I just recently got to Mexico. I did finish that god damned social club pikes basic challenge though, and holy poo poo the inferno bullets are hilarious. I won a duel with them, and also found out that most of the time you shoot someone on horseback, they will get tied to the horse and cause it to spaz, making a nice little light happen for the street  I felt kinda bad for the California stranger mission, but the "I know you" mission (the first one) is just... odd. Can't wait to see how this wraps up! Edit - small tip. If you are going for the "Fighting round the world!" achievement, you might wanna be careful in Thieves Landing. I started an awesome fight there, and got shot by some rear end in a top hat with a shotgun about 2 punches into it. Stupid_Sexy_Flander fucked around with this message at 05:25 on Jun 7, 2010 |

A lot of white spaces on those maps as well.... Don't think it's going to happen. Remember reading something from the developers about the GTA DLC not been worth it for the marketing and development that went into them.

I'm wondering if this has to do with why people recommended making a backup save right around the time you first reach Blackwater? Is the reason just so you always have the option to start playing late in the game as John? Are there some things you can't do as Jack? Near as I could tell everything carried over. Maybe I have to get the "real" ending to see why the backup save might be important. I'm just worried I'll miss out on something accidentally. Also, gently caress bears. I was attempting to knife one and when I had to have gotten it down to maybe one or two hits left another bear rolled up and they both took me down.

I think I've managed to break the poker AI. I just managed to clear the high stakes poker table in Blackwater first try by raising every hand like a complete dumbass. I won $1,250 off of that and I'm not entirely sure how I managed to do it because half the time I hadn't even looked at my cards before raising like hell. I'm the best at poker

It's only because most people don't like playing as Jack, because he's so different from his awesome father and his voice acting isn't nearly as good as John's. The game continues exactly like it did before, but you just play as Jack.

The first map is actually the toughest, since it's kind of deceiving. You are either in the wrong spot or you just need to explore. If you really want to know where it is: there's a little pile of rocks (like a 1x1 foot pile of baseball sized rocks) behind a bush in a crevice formed by some massive boulders directly behind the hanging tree

Whoever drew the treasure hunt maps had a totally psychotic superhuman mastery of scale and perspective. If you're in the right place for even one of the steps, every detail will be perfect. The hypothetical artist nailed the precise size and location of every tree and rock, and the topology of every dotted line seems nearly exact. Look at mountains or streams or whatever on the drawing, as they are perfectly rendered. The shape and orientation of roads can also be a clue if you look at the map. Treasure hunter level 8 made me wish that parachutes and/or swimming were available. Slappy Moose posted:Except for the first map. That one was just completely loving wrong. Okay, maybe. I didn't have to stare at the drawings until they stopped having obvious clues though, like the noose in the first one or the name of a river in the first mexico one. moller fucked around with this message at 07:25 on Jun 7, 2010 |

Lol sorry, I should have clarified: the perspective sucked. It was obvious about the general area, but it showed the (FIRST TREASURE HUNT SPOILER)rocks being like 100 meters away from the tree when they were not so. Perhaps I'm just picky with art, since I'm going to an art school, so I'm used to being critical as gently caress about all observational art I see.
