soggybagel posted: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? Has to be an enemy (i.e. shooting at you). The easiest way to get up there seems to be going to getting a posse in Free Roam to try and hold El Presidio from the Army with the gatlings and cannons.

Has anyone had one of the "legendary" animals for the hunting challenges vanish? I was going after the boar for the final hunting challenge, and he showed up on my radar as soon as I got into Stillwater creek, along with the "Kill gordo and collect the pelt message. The blip was near the river, and about 5 seconds after it showed up, it vanished and hasn't reappeared. I've tried going back to the area several times (at different times of day)and Gordo hasn't respawned, so I'm thinking he might have ran into the river and died, which makes it impossible to collect the pelt and complete that challenge.

Tewratomeh posted:All that being said, you know what? It's post endgame anyways, so why the hell am I holding back? gently caress it, it's murderin' time. I think I've earned it. Yeah I just did the same thing. Earned my $5000 bounty riding into Armadillo, murdering any living creature within sight, looting the bank and the saloon and hightailing it out of there only to harass random civilians on the roads. After no one was left to oppose me of course. I harassed these two dudes riding next to one another. Blew one of their heads off so the other would go and get a posse to start chasing me. Instead something like 12 US Marshals instantly spawn lining the ridge no more than 75 feet away from me and start tearing me to shreds. Luckily I lifted the Armadillo stagecoach and used that for cover. Speaking of stagecoaches and wagons, why did I never realize off-roading wagons was the most gratifying over the top thing in this game? I just discovered that you can knock cacti over if you hit them hard enough with a wagon. This game.

Yeah singleplayer and multiplayer are two wholly different beasts. I don't know what scheme you play singleplayer with but I highly suggest the Hardcore Free Roam for just dicking around and Hardcore Gang Shootout if you want something more focused. But then again I may be biased because I'm a pretty good shot so I frequently decimate the competition. Double-Action Revolver > *

The pump-action shotgun is my personal favorite. It just sounds so big and meaty and lethal, and even if you don't kill a guy straightaway, he'll be in no shape to keep fighting. And firing it at multiple guys on horseback is really satisfying, hearing that loud boom and watching them (and usually their horse) go tumbling. And if you aim square at the horse it drops dead instantly and the guy goes flying about 20 feet into the air.

So, I just found out that the whole not having another passenger on your donkey is bullshit. I picked up a donkey and was just riding around mexico and ran into the lady who (at first I was 100% sure it was going to be an ambush, since there was actually a broken down wagon behind her) wants you to take her into town and bandits chase you while you do so. I was all "aw shucks" since I didn't have a horse, but I road up to her, pushed B, and she jumped right on. They are telling you the truth in that you can't transport hogtied enemies on a donkey though

100% Reward spoilers The Bureau Uniform plus the Bandana is a rip-roaring good time. Cops ignore you as you go on your killing spree and you don't do anything to your honor. Finally getting to explore the stuntman physics by shooting anyone and everyone. One thing I finally learned is that while dead bodies will eventually fade away. They leave their hats. I think I had a couple hundred hats in this one small spot of Blackwater from all the killing.

I thought the voice actress for Bonnie was about as bad as it could get...then I heard Jack. It sounds like they got a mumbler with no teeth to do his lines. Now for a story about how the game can bring people together. My wife was loving around on her laptop while I was playing RDR, and she was only sort of paying attention. I was doing a mission for the Mexican rebel guy (whatever his name is) and he said something about how the most dangerous weapon is truth. John replies with something like "Well, I wish I would get people trying to kill me with TTRUUTH!" The way he said truth sounded like a retarded donkey, and my wife and I laughed about it for several minutes. Now, several days later, just one of us saying "TTRUUTH!" makes the other laugh. My wife also REALLY likes pushing hookers down stairs when she fucks with this game.

Found a new way to beat the master hunter challenges. I'd done everything except for killing Brumas the bear and Gordo the boar, and I ended up killing both animals without firing a shot. When I went after Brumas, I got about halfway up to his cave when the game spawned him about 15 feet in front of Marston. Unfortunately for Brumas, the game happened to swawn him right on the edge of large dropoff, which he promptly fell off to his death. I would have preferred to have just shot Brumas, since it took me about 20 minutes to get down the hill and find where his corpse had landed. Gordo on the other hand got killed by some excellent timing and random luck. Unlike his ursine cousin, Gordo spawned somewhere without a cliff, but he neglected to look both ways before crossing the railroad tracks, and got flattened by a well-timed locomotive as he was attempting to charge me. I love this game.

!!!!!QUOTE-STRAVAGANZA!!!!!!!!!Robot Hobo posted:The entire 'shove' mechanism is really just like having a dedicated 'be an rear end in a top hat' button. I would love R* forever if they retroactively updated GTAIV with this mechanic. The shove in that game is too soft. Still spent a good hour pushing old ladies with shopping down the stairs, though. Green Puddin posted:I'd like to end up in a Free Roam where people aren't dicks and hunt and/or shoot you down. Fuuuck. This is getting on my tits a little too. I just managed the $5,000 bounty challenge (I was something like $5,080 or thereabouts) when some dick came from across the map to shoot me. He stayed for the ride and me and my buddy got something like a 20 kill streak on him. He then stayed still for a bunch of kills, hoping we'd go away or some poo poo. When I got off my horse to walk right in front of him, he started shooting. Problem for him was, I had a semi-auto shotgun equipped. Goooood-night Irene. My main complaint with the free roam poo poo is the sort of thing that happened last night. I was going into free roam to create a posse with my PSN friends, so that I could then start a gang deathmatch mode so we could play all on the same team. I entered the world in front of a posse of about 5 or 6 who kept loving killing me immediately upon spawning. when this happens, you lose your menu until you respawn. It took me about five times longer to do something that would have been a case of a couple of menu selections. Bunch of poo poo. Also, the team balancing needs to be fixed so badly. I had a great hardcore team deathmatch round where it was 8 on 8. Couple of people left at the end and the next game was something like 9 against 5. Couple left and then it was something like 8 against 3. This is loving stupid and needs to be fixed. IRQ posted:Real men use the High Power Pistol. How do you get the high power pistol in free roam?

Yeah I played a Hardcore Gang Shootout earlier today that was a 1v2 and I was by myself. I got absolutely demolished in the opening duel (not easy to survive with 2 dudes aiming at your head) and didn't die the rest of the game. poo poo's easy when you don't have to rely on teammates. Before I forget, does anyone know what exactly sets off an enemy to appear on your radar? From what I can gather it's 1. Sprinting 2. Shooting 3. Jumping (Maybe?) Although I'm pretty sure if you crouch and shoot you don't appear on enemy radar. Again, I could be wrong though.

Doing high-speed drive-by shootings with the Sawn-Off is incredibly satisfying. It's also the best way to execute Bounty targets on their knees. I just wish I could use it for duels. Absolutely the best gun. El Mariachi knew his poo poo.

Still spent a good hour pushing old ladies with shopping down the stairs, though. What mechanic does GTA IV not have in the way of shoving? If you press the attack/jump button while targeting someone and you're close enough you shove them pretty hard. They stumble quite a few feet back, and it's anything but "weak". I don't even know what people are talking about when they mention "The Shove Button" in Red Dead Redemption. Is there something I'm missing, because the only way I know to shove someone in RDR is to just bump into them or punch them. That being said, bumping into someone until, say, they fall off the docks into the water in Thieves' Landing is pretty hilarious. Edit: VV I assume that's the "fire" button on its own, then?

If you pull the right trigger without any weapons out Marston will shove the person to the ground (but it doesn't work in a straight up fistfight). It's a lot more reliable and fun than how it worked in GTA, from what I remember. But GTA had massive staircases to push people down, so it's all good.

But GTA also had cops everywhere that were psychically tied to anything Niko & co touched so as soon as you gave someone too firm a handshake they'd be on your rear end. Unless one of the expansions pulled the stick out of law enforcement's rear end. Also, it'd be nice if you got weapon titles by killing gang members or animals with guns. I'd love a Shotgunner title but I absolutely hate PvP for this game (which is why I avoid free roam unless someone invites me ...but no one does GT: Onimorter  )

Yeah, the main thing I love about the Old West is that it's so easy to get away with being a dick. As long as people are bribed/hogtied/silenced, or as long as you can just murder every cop who gets near you and stay out of sight you'll never remain "Wanted" for long. I remember many times I've murdered a group of cops before any bounty could be called on me, and the Wanted meter just drained because there were no other witnesses out in the empty desert. In GTA IV, if you murder a cop or two you have the goddamn FIB all over you and you pretty much just have to kill yourself at that point.

I've been following this thread forever while playing the game and trying my best to avoid spoilers. Every now and then I'd accidentally highlight some block of text and get some clue as to what happens at the end of the game. It turns out what I thought was going to happen was so far off I was a tad dissapointed in the actual ending. I thought that I read that John would get murdered by the army and Ross like he did, but then he'd go to heaven and confront god. At that point you would get the option to shoot god or not. I guess that was the stranger spoilers getting mixed in with wether or not to shoot Ross' wife and brother. It'd almost be the same as the comic Preacher which would have been kind of awesome Imagine my surprise at the end where you're worm food and you just get to ride around as his dorky son.
