I'm doing some bounty hunting and the bounty managed to get on his horse and took me on a good chase up near MacFarlane's. When I lassoed him off the horse, Marston said "Oh, I'm sorry cocksucker!" Not once have I heard him say this and I've taken in tons of bounties. I take it that line has always been in there since I didn't have a patch to download today. Either that or my Deadwood binge is doing my head in and I'm hearing poo poo

Maybe that was the first cocksucker you captured. You can block animal attacks? I had a hell of a time taking down cougars with a knife. I would just lure NPC's around and let the cougars attack them, then sneak up on the cougar and stab the poo poo out of it. Bears are insane, I just got up to them and they sneak up on me, I start killing one and then another runs out and gets me and then some random event happens and cops are all over the place and start shooting me or the bears and getting killed and everything goes to poo poo, which is fun, but when you are trying to get a challenge done... ARGH!!! I got a kick rear end pistol near the end of the game (around two trees), I'm loving it so far. Finally something to replace my rifle.

Is there some kind of trick to blocking cougar attacks, or are cougars unblockable? Because I'm drat sure I've tried blocking them and it was quite unsuccessful. Maybe I just got unlucky? Do you have to press the button right when they attack? I was just holding it the whole time.

I'd assume cougars are the same. Fun fact: You can catch cougars sleeping! I ran into 2 separate cougars laying down south of Blackwater at around 9 AM. Nice to finally catch THEM by surprise.

So I decided I should call my horse at the bottom of a hill today. Said horse ran as fast as he could, and then flew off the top of the hill where his dead body landed next to me.

Just installed the new patch and I've got the weirdest bug going on... I lost at a poker game in Blackwater then stood up, put on my bandana and gunned down the other players. I was quickly killed by the law. When I respawned in my hotel room I threw on my bandana again, walked downstairs into the saloon and started shooting. I immediately received a bounty but no "Wanted" circle appeared and I only encountered two lawmen in the street directly outside. Since then I've been wandering the streets of Blackwater and it's been an endless shooting gallery of civilians that are either unarmed or fall prey to me before they can draw. I've only had an aggressive response from them if I've failed to take them down immediately. Absolutely no law enforcement response yet. Also, they're all respawning much quicker than usual. Has anyone else had this happen? It's just a drat shame it takes forever to build a bounty with max honor/fame. Hopefully I'll be able to cheese the Friends in High Places trophy this way but I wouldn't be surprised if all of the telegraph stations are glitched too. *****update***** Once I amassed 5000 and left Blackwater the circle finally appeared and things went back to normal. Go figure. DehatstyTopinbout fucked around with this message at 03:41 on Jun 12, 2010 |

Anyone on PS3 feel like posse'ing up for an hour or so, perhaps doing the outlaw-type goals or picking some flowers or hunting or something? Grinding SF is fun and all, but I haven't gotten to do most of the other goals. edit: "wall_of_voodoo" on PSN. edit2: Just noticed there's a reddeadgoons channel on synirc.

There is nothing I didn't like about chasing down (late Mexico I guess?) Escuella. He takes off on a horse, I shoot the horses legs out from under him. I ride up, disarm him and shoot him in the foot to slow him down, get off my horse to smack him around a little before lassoing him, and he loving grabs my horse and makes another break for it, so I murder my own horse and bring that fucker in. Being able to (accurately) pop kneecaps and feet to slow people down is probably the most satisfying part of this game so far.

This game is the most incredible adventure I've ever been on, and only one thing ruins my immersion: my John Marston can't win at arm wrestling. I've never been good at tapping buttons fast so when I do the arm wrestling I sweat, cry, and have a seizure all at once.

I finally 100%'d the game tonight, and I also found a great way to use Dead-Eye that I wish I'd used a lot sooner. Basically, instead of doing the typical "Pop into Dead-Eye and select a bunch of targets THEN fire" I'm going into Dead-Eye and targeting one enemy, usually in the head, shooting without marking them with RB, instantly popping me out of Dead-Eye. Then I'll immediately go back into Dead-Eye mode and rinse/repeat for the rest of whatever enemy I'm trying to kill. This might only work well if you have the Dead-Eye longevity/recharge upgrades, but it might be worth a shot without to see how effective it is.

After some exhaustive research, I have concluded that the American Standardbred just doesn't actually exist in the game. It's the ONLY thing I want to do before I continue on with the story. I have EVERYTHING else up until this point.

I've only managed to do it a few times on accident. The cougar latches onto Marston's arm instead of knocking him over, they wrestle for a second, then he throws the cougar off. I think you still take slight damage from it, but you aren't knocked on your rear end.

So I got an achievement that was something like "dead on" but looking at what achievements are for I'm not seeing it. I was deadeyeing someone in the face when it came up but about 90% of my kills are headshots since I rocked at the first game and it seems to carry over to this one. edit: Me llamo es Marston is great.

Also, was anyone else disappointed in the Master Hunter Level 9 and 10 legendary animals? The only one that was neat was Khan, just because it was the only leopard in the game. I wish they would have made all of the legendary animals unique - Lobo the Arctic Wolf and Bruma the Polar Bear (since they were in the snowy part of Tall Trees). Gordo is kinda stuck as a boar, I guess. There's this guy at work who keeps referring to Tall Trees as Canada. I mean, that's wrong, obviously, but I kind of considered that area to be like the Colorado section of the Wild West. Then you have the Great Plains, which kind of speaks for itself. I don't know what city Blackwater would be "representing" in this case, then - maybe something like St. Louis? Crows Turn Off fucked around with this message at 10:55 on Jun 12, 2010 |

This is what I usually do since I can't be hosed to actually paint targets in Dead-Eye. I use Dead-Eye mainly to scope targets out that I can't see clearly, since Dead-Eye both slows down time and bumps up the contrast. Then I either take the guy out with a headshot or just note his position and take him out without Dead-Eye on. The only thing... I'm pretty sure Dead-Eye drains while you have it on, so while you're trying to line up a headshot you're using up more of your Dead-Eye than the target-painting option. Oh, and as for Ross, I ended up sparing his family. I didn't really feel right once I was actually on the mission where you track him down, even though I was all ready to go in guns blazing earlier. I'm a little disappointed that Ross was a Draw event and that he went down like the dozens of others I shot in the face twenty times before their hand even touched their gun. I was expecting something more cathartic, but it was just me killing a grumpy old man. Edit: VV Yeah, that's kinda what I meant. Something more humiliating and... dramatic?

I was really hoping it'd be like the ending in, say, Lost and the Damned or when you have to shoot Bill where you can take your time and listen to Ross turn into a total pussy before shooting him. Also if you loot him he has about $400 on him. Anyone forget to do that? The game of course doesn't mention that he's loving loaded.

Why didn't you just lasso him off the back of the horse? Especially when it was your horse. I had thought that would be a nonlethal way of solving the 'Senor he has stolen my wagon' mission but although you can lasso the driver and yank him right off the back of the wagon, he gets up shooting. Gonna have to try it with a stagecoach driver though.

Half the time when someone yells "Help!" they just want to shoot you or steal your horse, so I just breeze past on my way to stabbing cougars to death or picking pretty flowers. The only one I might (might) stop for is the very rare "Help, they took my wife/husband and they're gonna hang her/him!" You can do that one entirely on horseback and you feel pretty good about it afterwards.

You should still stop for the fake stagecoach holdups. You can kill all the bandits with one Dead-Eye burst, and then you just aim at the girl for ~10sec and she gives you about $50 and runs away. BUT, don't shoot her after she runs away, you lose honour for that.
