Yeah, completely. It seems like nothing I wanted to happen in the storyline happened and it pissed me off at times. I guess that's a characteristic of good story-telling, though.

I know it's just the fact he was obviously an addict is what I found so funny.

I wanted to leave him for dead after Nastas got shot and when Dutch came a knockin'. gently caress that guy.

for Master Hunter II Rank 3 in MP, does the challenge reset if you accidentally leave Greenhollow to kill all the boars? I swear I killed 20 of those fuckers and Gordo never showed up. They also maul me a lot, and it gets frustrating.

It took me like 3 tries over as many days to get Gordo to finally show up, and when he did I killed him with a sniper rifle and it didn't register, so I had to do it again. gently caress that challenge. I must have killed at least 200 boars before I finally completed it.

I thought MacDougal was one of the best made characters in the game by Rockstar. Riding alone side him and listening to his "intellect" was pretty amusing. I especially like the dialogue between him and Nastas about the trees and buffalos.
He was really in that love to hate category for me. At the beginning of the mission you're talking about, I was a little disappointed when I blasted his horse in the face and I failed the mission

Nastas was my favorite character in the game outside of John. I got Jon's death spoiled for me, and I was assuming that since you had never seen your family to that point, Nastas would be who you continued on as. Or, I was hoping that, at least.

Well, if you happen to read the paper (keep reading those papers, folks) around the endgame/post-endgame period you find out that after returning home he once again gets thrown out of the university, his report of West Elizabeth is mocked and rejected, and he's destined to spend the rest of his life as a destitute drug addict. So yeah, not quite the outcome I hoped for but at least things don't turn out quite so well for him.

If you already have it in the game, then you should have 100%. It's not like the game uses the SocialClub website to determine what you have. You must be missing something else or you already have the Trophy/Achievement. Maybe you're missing one of the map locations?

You've gotta get it faster than that. Don't put her on the tracks until you see the train coming. I honestly think there's a time limit from the time you set her on the tracks to the time she gets hit by the train.

All that hype about stabbing cougars and I accidentally find a way to cheese it by killing them inside Beecher's Hope. They didn't even attack me in there, and they're fenced in.

Also got the one-shot bear kills without the buffalo rifle (semi-auto shotgun). Just wait until their face is nearly on the business end and fire. Takes balls of steel to wait that long but they won't swipe until it's too late.

Unless you miss.

I've played this game almost as long after the game as I did before the campaign ended, and this is from a guy who didn't even want to play Mass Effect 2 twice.

Still haven't even explored multiplayer either.

Holy poo poo the ending is loving.... just not what I expected.

I think as far as storyline and theme goes, this is probably the best game I have ever played.

As far as "rear end in a top hat fun" goes, Saints Row 2 still holds that top level, but having John kick people after shooting out both kneecaps and disarming them in a duel ranks pretty god damned far up there :buddy:

Make sure that you dont just get any lady but a lady of the night, it has to be a prostitute I believe, try to use the map to see where the train is and head it off so you dont have to wait, and make sure you're looking at the train hit her or else it wont work.

Not really. The only thing you might want to hold into it for would be when you get paid more for selling stuff (if you're playing as a Hero).

You get more money for animals that are not from around that area. Like, if you sell boars in Mexico where there are none, they're worth more money.

I barfed because you looked in my eyes!
I just had an amazing thing happen. I was in Blackwater after a long session and after playing my entire game as a good guy, I saved and planned on going on a killing spree, just to gently caress around for the first time really. I stepped outside the bar and started pushing the nearest nerd around. Pushing him over, into walls and stuff.

So I'm starting to think "I'll finish him now, put a bullet in his head." when out of nowhere, a nun runs up behinds me and tells me that she's heard of my good deeds and hands me the Obscuridad. I couldn't shoot the dude after hearing something like that. So I saved my game and was thankful it finally turned up.

I used a normal lady and it didn't work until I went to that convent in Mexico and jacked a nun. That's a great place to do horrible things to people without consequences btw, since there's nothing but nuns there.

Speaking of balls of steel, it's great fun to play "chicken" with trains as they pull into a station. Guess where the train is going to stop and get as close as you can to the train without moving at all.

I do this whenever I see a train pull into a station. I haven't killed any horses doing it yet and my personal best is something like 3 feet. :smug:

Ahahahaha, amazing. Oh my christ, I've just thought, there absolutely has to be a "bears everywhere" cheat. Imagine how amazing it would be to have them running through Blackwater, loving poo poo up.

I just tried to lure one into town but they just turn away at a certain point. Why? It would be so amazing to have a bear tearing through Blackwater.

Sometimes I can't even connect to free roam, other times I can join a game with 15 other people no problem, I have no idea what the issue is but it must be something with the game or Rockstar's servers or something, not your PS3. Just try going into different modes, (i.e. Gang Shootout or Hardcore Free Roam) and see if anybody else shows up.

I hated horseshoes at first but on my second go I had three ringers in a row. Sighting in with the index finger just a bit to the side of the peg really helped me.

Every "bid" of dice means you're saying "there are greater than or equal the amount of dice I bid". You cannot bid less than the person before you so eventually someone has to make an outlandish claim.

So someone starts off by saying "I bid 1 6 dice." That means he's saying out of all the dice on the table there is at least 1 dice that rolled a 6. The next person has to "up" the bid so he can bid that there are at least 2 1's, 2's, 3's, etc. or he can bid that at least 3 of whatever were rolled.

It's about lying. You're betting how many of a certain die face are on the table at any given time. Faces are obviously 1-6, and depending on the amount of people you're playing with you can have between 12 or more dice on the table at once (assuming it's 6 dice per player).

So you lie. You say, "I got 3 fours". Maybe you DO have 3 fours, maybe you only have 1 four or 5 fours or NO fours, it doesn't matter. You're betting that there are at least 3 fours on the table. Next person is either going to call your bluff (which would be stupid since 3 fours is very probable) or make a higher bid. Next player always has to make a bid at least one higher. They might say 4 fours or 5 sixes or 7 threes, whatever. When they make a bid that sounds like total bullshit, you call them on it. If they're wrong, they lose a die. If they're right, you lose a die.

If you think their bid is exactly right, you say "Spot On", and if it's exactly right they lose a die, or if it isn't, you lose a die. As everyone loses dice, higher bids become more and more risky because there can only be so many on the table. It also becomes easier to call a spot on.

Of course this is all better in real life when you can gently caress with actual people. In the game it's just a bunch of computer players who never lie/always call bluffs, so I can't really help you. Just bid one more or less than what you have under your cup, that usually works (say you have 3 threes, bid 2 threes or 4 threes, so they don't know what you actually have).

I wish you could go back and get the tutorial messages again without starting a new game. I got confused because I thought it told me I could bid a higher number of the same die or bid a higher die(i.e. one 1 could be outbid by one 6).

Thanks to everyone for the Liar's Dice info. I'm looking forward to giving it another go tonight.

And to pushing more whores over. Last night I was in Armadillo and shotgunned some knife wielding rear end in a top hat who was going to stab a hooker. As she was thanking me I promptly pushed her down and Marston said something like "Excuse me, miss!"

It really should be a minigame.

EDIT: I came across three soldiers in Mexico who executed some poor bastard who was begging for his life. Shot him in the back. I kept bumping into one of the three until he was separated from his friends and then I gave him a good shove. As soon as he drew down on me I blasted him. It was worth the $50 fine.
