I wish you could do it by clicking on the stick, I think I've crouched once during the entire time I've played RDR so far. Apart from accidentally clicking on the stick during combat and scuttling away from enemies like some retarded crab-person. :argh:

I totally fell in love with the way the UC games did it, though, and it should be a feature in every single game where you have to aim a weapon.

UC2 is almost perfect as far as it's controls (I say almost only as an out in case somebody finds a better example), and yes I wish RDR was a little closer to it.

It was funny though, yesterday my girlfriend was playing UC2 multiplayer and so I asked to have a turn and as soon as I had the control I was running in circles and throwing grenades and randomly rolling and firing. Playing RDR too much threw me waaay off, I could not for the life of me get it down.

And crouch comes in very handy in multiplayer matches, but I'd still rather L3 be shoulder view.

It's not the greatest because the bullets still come out of the gun shouldered on the other side of you, so it's tricky to shoot around tight corners but it's great for getting a good look of what's around the corner.

That's funny because I've taken cover right around 10 times total for 100% Single Player and up to level 37 in Multiplayer. Especially in Multiplayer - never take cover. 99% of the time it's better to crouch behind an object so you can continue to take potshots while you're covered and you can maintain your mobility; it's also excellent for setting up your Dead Eye shots. The only use it really has in multiplayer is if you're getting torn up by a lot of enemies in one direction and you want your health to regenerate.

Is anyone else on Xbox Live having serious issues with the Gang Shootout play category? Half the time I'm just running around with my other gangmates and nobody to shoot, and the other half it just gets stuck in the loading screen.

I updated my router firmware and I'm still having this issue. I'd like to know if it's just me.

I haven't even spawned in one. The three I tried to get into loaded into a fixed camera in the location of the Shootout without a scoreboard, menu or ability to pause the game. I won't be trying again until I see a patch come out.

I have a bad feeling this is a common question, but why the hell can't I get the safehouse Armadillo. I've :google:d and discovered this is a bug and the suggestion was to start a campfire nearby and reboot your system, but that didn't work for me. Any other ideas?

On the second floor of the saloon, I see three room doors. And then the double doors to the balcony. On the balcony, there's another door around the corner. Apparently the safe house is one of those, but I can't get in any of them.

Do I need to do something to unlock it first?

I did a few missions for Bonnie and maybe one or two for the Sheriff. Make sure you're on the second floor when you try to purchase with Y/Triangle, not on the balcony.

I think it's the mission after (early MacFarlane mission spoilers?) you ride into town with Bonnie on a wagon. I suspect that's it.

Head to a rooftop at Rathskeller Fork. You can build up a bounty drat quick and are very well covered - just keep a scoped rifle handy in case anyone gets too clever.

Or you could glitch it by clipping through a wall and shooting soldiers, but that's far less fun.

There's a rooftop in Blackwater that's also pretty good for it, I forget the exact location but it's a building in front of the train station which has only 1 way up so if you get some rear end in a top hat trying to kill you, you can just sit in front of the ladder top with your semi-auto shotgun and blow his brains out.

I had a go on top of the Professor's office at one point. It was really hard to get the bounty, I kept falling off and dying.

Might take a crack at Rathskeller Fork later, or try and find this other one.

So I just completely finished the game.

Endgame Spoilers, obviously. Blew the head off that mother fucker Edgar Ross. I was curious. Who else killed his brother? I know I killed him for Uncle, although I let his wife live - she's just an innocent woman who married the limiest mother fucker ever. I'm completely satisfied with literally everything in this game. The last duel is second only to the duel over Eva's grave.

I prefaced the event by torching the Police Station in Blackwater and killed any who perused me.

Endgame credits are killer by the way. Time from here to 100% is 76 hours - goddamn I made that last a long time.

I just finished the game last night, I just have one question though;

At the end of the Dutch chapter, where you're chasing him up the mountain or whatever, what actually happens there? I swear my game skipped over something because he seemingly went from running away and holding a Mauser, to being mortally wounded from a gutshot and holding a revolver without me doing anything. Did I miss a duel or something?.

Son of a bitch, I can't get the 2 stranger missions in Blackwater to load.

Those are the only 2 I have left to do :argh:

Also, I noticed today (now that I have beaten the game and am just trying to get 100%), they actually have an icon on the minimap (or map) for an eyewitness to a murder spree/rear end in a top hat moment.

Also, if you have a weapon out, but you aren't aiming it, Your dude does a few different things. I had my shotgun out but I wasn't aiming it, and when I hit the RT button he just loving cold cocked these 2 dudes in the head at the gaming table.

Also (ENDING SPOILERS SO DON'T READ EM UNLESS YOU WANNA SPOIL THE ENDING), I am loving the Jack lines when whores talk to him. I ended up spitting Dr Pepper out on myself tonight when I heard "Don't need a case of crotch rot, thank you!"

All I have left are 3 minigames (no clue what the hell they are), 2 stranger missions, the sharpshooter/hunter/survivor challenges, 1 horse breaking job, and the bounties from a few areas.

Yea, gonna be at this for a while :smith:

Ah ha ha ha. I was just walking through Tall Trees and got attacked by a pack of 11 grizzlies. They seemed to be using wolf AI and my character even called them "stupid dogs". The corpses turned into wolves after skinning, but they still gave up grizzly parts. :10bux:

I was hanging out at the ranch near Blackwater the other day and had something like 40 wolves, in short bursts, walk by passively. I was standing right there, and not a single one of them attacked me, and none of them even ran away after I started killing them. That was one hell of a pay day.

Too bad it takes such a long time to skin the animals after you've shot a lot of them. I wish you could just skip the skinning animation.

So how exactly do those metatags work? (I'm on Xbox) Do I just add them to my friends list or something? The random people I ran in to in free roam so far have all been jerks that only wanted to shoot me.

You can do it really easily by hiding behind the bar counter in Blackwater. You get complete control of the only ways into the building, and only about half of the cops will run in, with the rest content to just shoot the poo poo out of the back wall.

Yeah, Jack is pretty good. I didn't even mind his voice acting so much - it kind of played up how young he was compared to John. It's neat that they put so much effort into his character considering most people will just use him for cleaning up and 100%-ing.

I'm thinking about starting a new game and taking my time with it a bit more to be a proper outlaw. From what I gather from the interface that'll wipe my current game, right? Or does it work like GTA4?

I don't know about the XBox, but on the PS3 I've got three permanent save slots + the autosave. Starting a new game will overwrite the autosave and you'll presumably want to use at least one of the permanent save slots, but if you make a permanent save with your old character and don't overwrite it it should stay around.

This is correct. However a lot of the metatags are full and a lot of the people on them aren't playing much. There should be a website called like 360goons.com where you just put in your gamertag and it uses the live API to see what people are playing and you can use that instead.

In fact, that sounds like a good weekend project.

Only I may dance
Probably been posted about before, but it's not in the OP or in the first couple pages. Does anyone have a fix for this? I snagged a wanted poster in Armadillo for some dude who was supposed to be hanging out a little west of the Hanging Tree area. I got there and he was nowhere to be found, nor were there any other bad guys. I camped out and saved my game to see if I could get him to spawn, but nothing happened. The little red skull has disappeared from my map, but I still have the wanted poster in my inventory and I have the following bugs:

- If I view the wanted poster in my inventory, Marston pulls out the poster and looks at it, but then the game basically locks. I can walk around while staring at this poster (the info never comes up) but I can't put it away, access any guns, run, access my inventory, etc.

- If I camp and fast travel, the game gets perpetually stuck in the loading screen.

- If I get on a stage coach the controls come up but selecting a destination doesn't do anything. If I leave the coach the controls for it stay up on my screen, even after sleeping.

Does anyone know how to solve this or if there's a patch on the way?

Seems that you both missed the cutscene:

John chases Dutch to the top of the mountain. They have a chat (or, rather, a really nice bit of theme-relevant dialogue), Dutch throws himself off the edge and dies. It cuts to the foot of the mountain, John's there with Edgar Ross, Ross pops a bullet into Dutch's corpse and says "trust me, it'll look better on the reports this way".
