2ndclasscitizen posted:So the idea behind making another save is just because you're stuck wearing a particular outfit for the remainder of the game? No, not exactly. Trust us, just make that extra save, finish the game, and then decide whether you're glad you did or not. I hope you did save before you did the next story thing after that last Dutch mission. I personally haven't felt the need to use that previous save after beating the game, it's down to your preferences.

Just played a game of horseshoes at Las Hermanas...he hit 4 ringers in a row. What the gently caress. It was a $10 bet too so it's not like the difficulty was ramped sky high or nothing. I also just completed Eva In Peril...

After hunting cougars that refused to spawn for about an hour, i'm just cruising around and I see a couple of lawmen chasing after some criminal, firing their guns ineptly as ever. Then, out of nowhere, this massive boar comes barrelling in and destroys the two lawmen, knocking them both off a cliff. That guy better have been innocent Mr Pig.

The Stranger mission 'The Wronged Woman' is bugged in my game - every time I look for the guy, or even if I'm just going along the main street in Blackwater, I find him lying dead at his own feet. Yes, you read that right. I can loot the body, but it doesn't complete the mission, and his clone just stands there and can't be challenged to the duel I'm supposed to do. It's annoying, because every time I'm around Blackwater I see the purple question mark and think "Oh hey, a Stranger miss- dammit..."

Just got master hunter rank 5, had no problem finding cougars around the area to the southwest of fort mercer, east of the buyable property. Laid a bait, 1 popped, lasso and knife, easy. 10 seconds later I hear GREOW and see TWO of the bastards running towards me. I ruun away like a sissy girl, spin, dead eye one in the head, lose the other doing that, get tackled three times, manage to find the bastard and lasso it and knife it. Buffalo rifle here I come!MissMarple posted:After hunting cougars that refused to spawn for about an hour, i'm just cruising around and I see a couple of lawmen chasing after some criminal, firing their guns ineptly as ever.

I challenged the original dude but then there was a black screen and it read "you won the duel" and the dude was just lying dead on the street. After the clone appeared, I just killed him and got the 200$.

Oh the lengths I go to to keep from getting a bounty. I was about to take a stagecoach from around Hennigan's Stead down to Escalera because I'm lazy and didn't feel like setting up a campsite. Rather than get on as a passenger, though, I accidentally get on from the driver's side and yank him off. Some other guy freaks out and starts running for the cops, so I chase him down on foot and hogtie him, and the driver freaks out and takes off in another direction. He's way too far away so I pop him in both legs and hogtie him on the ground, and another guy then freaks out and hops on his horse. I chase him down for a good half-a-mile before I shoot him in the back off his horse and hogtie him, too. Three innocent people hogtied and I just ride off leaving three men crippled, tied up and confused, all so I can save $40. Oh, and I found my favorite new juvenile thing to do. I saw a man behind me get off his horse and dash for a rock on the side of the road. I wondered what was up, so I turned around and saw him standing with his back to me. I figured it was a glitch or something, but I started thinking to myself, "Hmm, maybe he's taking a leak?", half-jokingly. I never imagined that yes, he was in fact taking a piss. So I did what anybody would do in that situation, I lassoed him and dragged him down the road with me a ways. Yeah, he wasn't too happy when I let him go.

BlackJosh posted:I think you can save right after that, actually. Returning to your Ranch and Abigail is a separate mission. Oh yeah, you guys are right. I thought it was a waypoint. Also, I'm so god damned tired of the game freezing. I'll never get the 4 In a Row Gangmatches trophy, it always freezes when I'm at like 3. At this point I don't know if it is because of the game or the dying GPU in my PS3.

I was in the bank in Armadillo trying to crack the safe so I hogtie the teller that's in there, and sure enough as soon as I'm finishing hogtying the guy, someone walks in, sees what's going down and tries to run for the cops, so I hogtie them... and someone else comes into the bank, and I have to hogtie them... and ANOTHER PERSON comes into the freaking bank. I hogtied about five people before I could even get close to the safe and even then, cops were waiting for me as soon as I busted that bitch open. It ended Young Guns-style in a bloody shootout, me crashing my way out the back door whistling for my horse, and riding off with like 50 bucks.

I mean, come on a duel at sunset over the grave of a girl who just wanted more out of life than to be a prostitute in the middle of the Mexican desert. I shot that bastard in the head so many times.

Even better than that is the fact that he refuses to offer a reasonable explanation as to why he killed her, except that "she was a whore!". That detail really, really makes it for me. All the storytelling in the minigames really elevates the story and gives the game world a sense of character I can't recall being in any other game. It's the perfect game-centric way of making you care more about your environment. It's a real step up from the likes of Bioshock and games where you find remnants of something gone before, and notes that you have to read to find out more about what happened there. Not that this is a terrible idea, but I think Rockstar may have set a new precedent for the way you enhance storytelling within a game without pulling you out of the game too much.

Anyone know how to get the Gold Medal trophy? I have plenty of Gold medals for story missions. I also have some for missions where it says "shot accuracy xx%", which I presume are combat missions. I even replayed a few that I had a bronze medal for just to be sure. What am I doing wrong? By the way, I like how you can replay old story missions after beating the game. When I started one and saw and heard John Marston I felt a weird sense of sadness. What has this game done to me?

For an easy gold medal (you need one on a combat mission for the achievement), replay the mission you do with the marshal where you follow the gang dude from the Armadillo saloon to the Pleasance House. I think it's the first combat mission in the game. Skip all the cutscenes and run ahead of the Marshal to your horse, ride as fast as you can, then try to get as many headshots as you can. There's only 5 or 6 guys total.

Shooting people in the kneecaps and/or hogtying them is a strange form of "payment", I have to say. And I don't, as a rule, kill innocent people since the game goes way out of its way to make you feel really bad about it. Beating and stabbing and shooting non-lethally is fine by me, but I draw the line at murder unless it's hilarious.

I try that, but it seems like every time I kill a witness, someone witnesses me doing it, which creates a never ending chain of witness killing until someone finally manages to slip away and find a cop. It's just easier to pay them.

Gazmachine posted:Bioshock has this narrative habit of offering you the whole complete outline of a subplot right at the beginning, like a book report, and then gradually filling in the specifics in excruciating detail-- but not in a way that gives you any more insight or challenges your assumptions about the narrative arc, just in a way where voice actors doing super affected 30s radio voices gradually confirm exactly what was already set up. The first game has this problem at times but the second one has it over and over and over and man it's annoying, it's so labored and produces so little. Red Dead Redemption is a lot better on that count. It doesn't overwork the context of each little bit of plot and there are several nice touches (the glass eye in the treasure cache) that are allowed to resonate a little without being ground down to a super fine point.

With the 'shoot 500 enemies from a mounted weapon' achievement, does it matter who I shoot. I noticed it said enemies. Can i just kill random folks riding around and will that count towards the count or do they have to be engaged already fighting me?

After helping a guy get his horse back, shove him off of it once he gets on (tap right trigger with no weapon out / not aiming), which makes the horse go running off at full speed with him chasing after it. Never gets old.

I really, really HATE the multiplayer experience in this game -- and I think it's because I enjoyed the singleplayer so MUCH. I really wish we could get beyond horrible grindy games where you kill other players for points, because that wasn't what RDR was ABOUT. I wanted to share RDR with other humans but that's just not possible. Maybe it's just a solitary experience, and maybe that's why I liked it so much.
