I'm having a hell of a time trying to win Liar's Dice without losing any dice. I even got a game in Mexico against one person, I won all of the time, but always lost one die sometime. Oh well, I made a good chunk of change at least.

Just make really small bids and let the two computers call each other out until one of them loses all their dice. Hopefully the other person doesn't have any left either and it's really easy to play that way.

That makes sense, thanks. I'm not sure why, but I shot my first bobcat in game and it's the first time I felt remorse for killing anything.

BerkerkLurk posted:That makes sense, thanks. I had trouble too but the Red Dead Wiki has some really solid tips for it. Its basically bidding what you actually have. Being honest pretty much wins the game. I still lose a die every now and then but I've won losing no dice before. I had to learn it for one of the stranger missions. I also don't shoot any small game unless I have to. So rabbits, armadillos, skunks, beavers, bobcats are all safe around me. I don't usually have to bother anyway as I'm usually being raped by cougars and wolves. Now I've finished the game I'm pretty much going round hunting for fun, occasionally doing a stranger mission or challenge. What's confusing me is the find all locations achievement. It hard to believe there's still places I've not been too that'd count as a location, I mean the storyline takes you pretty much everywhere on the map I thought. Though I had no idea there was a lake until remember my family

What are you meant to do with the random encounters where someone asks for a lift and then steals your horse? I've only had two appear and I killed them both but nothing happened. Don't you usually get fame for completing those mini sidemissions?

I think it's just one of those side missions to add flavor to the game. It would be nice though if they had an actual "help a stranger to town" mission just so you wouldn't automatically know that everyone asking for a ride is going to try and jack your horse.

Every now and again, there's a guy that does need a ride to town, but I think they're usually near a broken down wagon (that isn't an obvious bandit ambush). I've only had it happen like once or twice. If somebody tries to steal my horse, I just lasso them off and give them a ride to the nearest town. Apparently, people die if they're dragged across the plains for miles.

Ray and Shirley posted:I can't bring myself to kill one. Wait until you unlock the buffalo as a MP mount, whistle for it, and have it constantly run PAST you and make you chase it around in circles whistling nonstop like some sort of sentient retarded teapot on fire. After that you'll be squint anytime you shoot anything so it looks more buffalo-shaped as it dies.

Crows Turn Off posted:^^^ Do all of Bonnie's missions first. They are the "tutorial" missions. Plus, you get the lasso from her, which is awesome. If you haven't done very many of her missions, then you are maybe like 1% of the way through the game. Are you refering to the pistol or the length of the game? It doesn't matter anyway, I completed all the Ricketts missions and he gave me a Schofield and I'm pretty happy with that.

I don't know if this has been addressed, but when you're in cover if you hit the fire button without drawing your weapon you'll fire blind around your cover. loving sweet. Only figured that out after a billion hours of play.

FuriousGeorge posted:Minor postgame story question: Is there anything in the postgame that says anything about Bonnie's fate? There's nothing in the final newspaper, and I thought I read somewhere that you can overhear townspeople talk about her getting married or something. Haven't run across that though. I just kinda felt bad for her, poor girl really wanted to get laid. I was guessing that her fate being unresolved would make her dead certain to be involved in any DLC. But since the only thing I've heard about that is 'no giant DLCs,' I'm guessing she might show up but will probably just continue owning the Ranch and letting it become a town in its own right. And I need to learn how to close my tags. poo poo.

I've killed every duded-up, egg-suckin' gutter trash hitchhiker I've come across because it only seemed logical that they would steal my horse. It's the old west man, poo poo be real. If they can't lasso their own drat horse then they deserve to die. On a side note, my horse threw a shoe and bucked me off, caused me to bust a perfectly good bottle of fine Kentucky red-eye, so I killed that sumbitch and then I shot that gutless, yellow pie-slinger of a blacksmith in the back over a matter of $80.

Welp.. I was trying to herd the buffalo to go through blackwater, and apparently they all decided to commit suicide by riding into the river. On one hand, I feel kinda cause they are all gone, on the other hand..  WHERE'S MY 5G ROCKSTAR?!?!?!Did not know about the blind fire.. Had a random "HELP I NEEDS TA GET BACK TO TOWN!" mission happen in Aurora Basin of all places (WAY up north on the map). I saw a wolf or something stalking the guy, pulled out the mauser and aimed it (at him unfortunately) and he just yelled "drat! I DONE poo poo MAHSELF!" and ran off. B'ar got 'im.

Stupid_Sexy_Flander posted:Welp.. I almost had the same thing happen to me - I was able to get the whole herd in two runs a couple of game days apart. Killed 10 the first time, and during the second run I had killed all but two who were now fleeing north... in to the path of an oncoming train. Using the Buffalo Rifle, I downed one immediately and was able to kill the last one literally a half second before he got liquefied by the oncoming train. So protip: watch for trains before you piss off the buffalo herd.

Stare-Out posted:Is this the disarm thing? I did it by going to the saloon in Thieves' Landing and taking cover behind the counter. From there I shot a guy in the leg which made all the patrons go berserk and pull out their guns. Then I just went into dead-eye and disarmed all of them. I did it more or less the same way except in the saloon at Armadillo. If you pull a gun all the Walton Gang guys will jump up and go for their guns as well, and it's pretty easy to disarm them. If that isn't 6 then wait a second because most of them have a rifle they'll go far as well. Once you get the challenge then just waste 'em all, you won't lose honor (if that is a concern) because they're all a bunch of no good sidewindin' hoods. Moonshine is also helpful.

Endgame: This is actually one of the better video game endings that I can remember. With Dutch's speech and that "Mysterious Stranger", along with other conversations and the ambiguity of who's good/bad in the Mexican missions I picked up early on that they were setting it up that John wouldn't be able to escape his past. What did surprise me is that they actually killed him at the end. When the hell does the good guy ever lose in video games? It was a really smart ending. John was the last cowboy in New Austin, and as the game wore on you could see how Mexico was always going to be corrupt with "Freedom Fighters" being as bad as the government. The stark difference between Blackwater and the other american towns really served to show that the West was on its last leg and that the "eye for an eye" mentality was being replaced with the rule of Law. John gets killed because he's stupid enough to believe the people that were playing him played by his rules, when in reality they don't care. It's capitalism. These guys want more power, more money, s they follow the rules and play the system to get the best ending for themselves, old west honor be damned. Game owns.
