Anyway I personally don't like the free roam because it is filled with assholes, but the hardcore gang matches are pretty good since all the good players who use teamwork seem to have fled there. Ah I didn't even realise there were other modes than Free Roam  , that's cool I'll give them a try.

I'd imagine there will eventually be a cheat to play as John just like there's one to play as Jack, they just didn't want to release it right away because it would kinda SPOIL THE WHOLE GODDAMN GAMEJohnny Deformed posted:OK I'm on 91% completion and I'm a little afraid of how addicted I am to this game at the moment, I only bought it on Monday!

Okay, I'm not so much upset by the ending (I thought it was very poignant and handled very well) as I am by having to play as Jack. Now, there's one very simple reason, Jack's voice actor is horrible and the character has some lovely lines. It's nothing to do with the fact that he isn't John. I'd warm up to the boy if he were half as badass as his father. Seriously, it's like you're playing as Shia Labeouf all of a sudden... I feel like I'm taking part in the next Indiana Jones installment now. All that aside, the final missions were incredible, and seeing the wildnerness fade into the edge of the modern paved roads of Blackwater almost brought a tear to my eye. You actually start to feel like John Marston by that point of the game, and sympathize with his plight, seeing the wild life that was all he knew being paved over with uniform streets and cookie-cutter buildings lined up with prim and proper "civilized folk" inside. I actually tried, a couple of times, to steer a whole herd of buffalo into the middle of town. I was a little disappointed with the results, but it was still pretty badass to ride into civilization strapped with half-a-dozen weapons on the back of a white horse and surrounded by wild buffalo.

The snake oil salesman has me racing carts, but all of the race horses spawn with their legs halfway into the ground. So no can go anywhere, except for one fellow who shot into the sky, plesantly pinwheeling. I know there aren't supposed to be many race missions in this game, but I'm looking forward to having this onwe behind me.

Awesome free roamin' with some pubbies last night. We had a gang of 5 and were rollin' around gang hideouts in our pimpin' stage coach, then we all had at least $2,500 bounties for that challenge, and it was good times.  Laughing Man, I started a new game a few days ago and Van Barr was the very first bounty in Armadillo, but he didn't show up by name - it was just "Walton's Gang at Mercer Station" or something. Ya might give it a shot!

You don't have to restart to make Moe Van Barr show up. I took one of the random bounties in Armadillo last night (the ones with just a silhouette and a questions mark) and when I looked at my map, it was Van Barr. Killed him and unlocked the outfit after beating the game. Not sure if this will work for everyone, but worth a try.

I need advice on knifing a bear, I am going to Tall Trees and shooting one in the body 4 times with a revolver and then trying to knife it but every single time I start chasing the wounded bear as it runs away from me another bear or two attacks out of nowhere. It is so annoying.

I hate the clusterfucks you run into when trying to bring a bounty back into town. The absolute worst area for, for me at least, is the road leading away from Manzanita Post that goes by an entrance to the Marston ranch. I was bringing back a bounty alive today and was riding through there, when the typical 4 guys spawn that try to shoot you when you're bringing in a bounty. Except in the middle of this was a covered wagon with driver and passenger, and two other guys on horses. So I turn around with my Evans Repeater and go into dead-eye to try and cap all 4 of them in the face like I usually do if the pursuers get too close. Except I turn around in dead eye and I can't tell who the gently caress is who in the middle of the chaos on the road, and in the confusion I end only getting off one shot, which ended up being a civilian and lost me 50 honor. Oh, and to top it all off, then three loving bears came out of nowhere to join the party. So, to recap, we've got 4 outlaws, one covered wagon with two people in it, one regular guy on his horse, a dead civilian that I accidentally shot, and three god drat bears. How I got out of that alive I have no idea. But on a less crazy note I got Legend of the West, and it's pretty awesome.

Best way to kill people has to be by shooting out both their knees then shooting them point blank in the face or back of the head. Some stylish animations for that move.

I always find it badass as gently caress when during a gunfight you get caught offguard by an enemy you didn't see but react quicker than he can fire and Marston grabs him, pushes the muzzle into the enemies chest and fires. How many animations are there for that sort of thing?

Stupid question that I didn't see in the OP: does anybody have any more Deadly Assassin codes left? I wouldn't mind one. Also, how does one go about killing wolves for Master Hunter 3? I tried shooting them once, but they usually take off as fast as they run, making it impossible to be followed.

Some random guy in Tall Trees kept kicking my rear end at shooting challenges (even though I had easily won several before) so I shot him to get the money back, and as he crawled along the ground bleeding and waiting for the finishing blow he angrily muttered "(his name), remember the name." Incredible. Too bad I didn't remember his name.  Also I laughed when (post game super-minor spoilers) Jack said "May I take your coat, madam?" after a skinning. His character is unlikable but still says some good stuff.

Don't know where I heard it (possibly this thread), but I think Rockstar's going to provide everyone with the Deadly Assassin's outfit when they release the patch since some people had codes but it didn't work or other such nonsense. At least, I hope that's the case.

The two outfits Rockstar is making free later in the month are the Savvy Merchant and the Expert Hunter, the two losers in the pre-order bonus contest (the winner was the Deadly Assassin). I don't think they have any plans to release the DA outfit for free.

I get the feeling if Rockstar charges for a DLC, it'll include that in it ala the American Baseball Bat in L4D2's The Passing. Anyway, if anybody has a code they want to get rid of, throw me a line: nickzbu@yahoo.com.

Well, I found out where Ross and his wife are supposedly staying after Ross' "retirement". When I read the newspaper article about it, my blood went cold. Of course Ross got all the credit for John's actions, plus the killing of John himself when he had his lackeys do everything. Then I find out he's staying in a little cabin by the lake, I knew what I had to do... except there was nothing to do when you get there. Very disappointing  Unless... Do Ross and his wife ever show up at the cabin at any point, or is the cabin just there to give you false hope? Snailor Moon posted:Go to Blackwater station. I figured that would be the way, I was just hoping to catch them with their pants down, so to speak, in the middle of the night. Then I'd hogtie the Missus and drag Ross to the top of the cliffs around the lake and fling him down 100 feet of rock to the bottom of a lake. No obituary, no hero's death or fancy funeral. ...

I am loving the game so far as I just made it to Blackwater, gently caress bears and cougars, seriously. I tried free roam earlier but it was no fun since everybody is an rear end in a top hat, I have to play with some goons later. I will also take a Deadly Assassin outfit off of somebody if they have one, either PM me or contact me at Zzuurr@gmail.com.

I'm calling you out!!! Welp, the AI each had 3 ones... ugh... The trick to liars dice is not to lie but to try to force the AI into doing something stupid. Always bet the lowest die face/highest number of them you know is true from your own hand, usually you can do that once or twice and let the AI either make a dumbass bet or a dumbass call out on another AI. The AI will almost always bet on something it has at least one of in its hand too. Once the number of dice the AIs have gets low the game gets very easy. Poker and five finger fillet totally own me every time though.

Five Finger Fillet is easy once you learn the pattern. You can make thousands of dollars off of it in 10 minutes if you have it memorized, and if the high-stakes guy is all that's left at the table. The final pattern is always ABAYAXABAY on repeat, and you shouldn't even be looking at the screen for it at that point.

They'll fold out eventually and you'll win the inevitably large pot. Occasionally they'll try and go all the way to the end, but I just keep it going for the hell of it. This works for me and my stats agree, what with the 70+ wins by bluffing  Also, is there any reason why cougars now spawn in Beecher's Hope after I've beaten the game? They weren't there before, but upon beating it I can't ride through there without getting attacked by one. It's always right outside the houses too...
