2ndclasscitizen posted:loving hell, the Friends In High Places achievement is killing me. I tried the method of standing on top of that building across from the Blackwater station, but all the drat cops kept hiding around the edges and on the main street where I couldn't hit them. Tried the Amarillo sheriff's office but one of them kept glitching through back wall and killing me. I had this problem and wondered whether it was due to having a max honour rating. I think if you have lower, more cops come after you more vehemently. It is possible there, though. I cleared out and lost my wanted level 4 or 5 times before getting a high enough bounty. A better area in Blackwater is that set of two roofs with a ladder to a higher roof. If you move between those two areas, you can cover more area in relative safety (be sure to use your cover properly though) and catch the coppers that are hiding a little more easily.

Ainsley McTree posted:Yeah, having the ending ruined for this game would really suck, I really enjoyed it the first time. Having it spoiled would be like watching the sixth sense knowing all along that the guy in the hairpiece turns out to be bruce willis the whole time What's funny about this is that back when Sixth Sense first came out my dad didn't want to see it at all until I told him the twist.

The one behind it has a low wooden fence that is effectively an impassible wall for any NPC and in the corner is a small concrete stairway with a metal railing. Just take cover against the corner in the alleyway (across from the stair pad) and shoot anyone that comes down the alley from the main street in front of the train station. Yep, and here I thought I was the only one who used that spot. Also great for head shots and getting public enemy X amount of times.

Hilario Baldness posted:Alright, now I just beat that with 1:46 with identical kills and combos and it gave me even less experience. Did they completely nerf Twin Rocks or what? They did nerf it, but the varying xp is because the more people in your freeroam, the more points you get. They don't have to be anywhere NEAR the hideout, but if you grind twin rocks in a full 16 player freeroam, you'll get more points than, say, you and two other people.

Does the most wanted achievement require you to actually stay wanted as a public enemy for ten minutes and THEN escape, or can I get public enemy, escape the police, and then just stay alive for ten minutes?

Ride along the road behind the shipping company (where the stagecoach parks) up around the movie theater, back and around the stagecoach building and repeat. Just keep riding this circuit, you should see plenty of skunks and raccoons. Thanks, I got the beavers last night just northwest of Beecher's Hill, a whole group were there and I laughed and killed every one of those stupid beavers. But I've heard good things about the back of the stagecoach. The Red Dead wiki has some editing problems at times and I wasn't really sure of what to do. 2ndclasscitizen posted:loving hell, the Friends In High Places achievement is killing me.

You can shoot them from the balcony and start up a save in one of the extra slots to save up all of your bounty progress. Eventually they stop coming when you take out enough in a wave, just save and keep going when you wake up. Stock up on health so you don't feel the shame of losing to just one wave. Then you can reload a previous save if you like having honor.

I did this from the third story of the largest building in Chuparosa. The only way up is a little ladder, and provided that the posse/army is interested in you they'll know where you went and follow. It's easy to kill them one-by-one as they come up the ladder and for some reason they always seem to know where you are. I think I was there for 12 or 13 minutes before I got bored and fought my way back to the street.

If you are talking about the coop, check the PSN Store or XBOX game addons. AFAIK, you can't download it from in game.

I wanna play poker and liar's dice in free roam SO BAD. Just make it an event that temporarily suspends you from the game world, like going to the outfitter! edit: I had a great hardcore free roam session last night. Me and two people in my posse against two other people, everyone with carcano rifles, having this big ol' sniping match in the hills outside of El Presidio. It got pretty intense, actually, especially when I discovered that the bush I was hiding in was only 15 feet away from the bush my target was hiding in.

Doesn't much matter in the end, though. I'm content with the idea of Jack dragging the family name through the muck.

Jesus, it's hard not to mouse over all those spoiler tags. I guess the story gets much better near the end since you all can't stop talking about it. I like the story, but I don't see it getting much better. Anyway, what does the money you get in multiplayer do? I haven't seen any uses for it.

I didn't even know about the Friends in high Places achievement when I decided to go on a killing spree just for fun. I put on a bandanna and just started shooting at everyone. At first, I went into the Blackwater sheriff's office, covered behind the counter and blasted the marshalls and army guys away whenever they tried to get inside. After that, I went to the bar in Blackwater, covered behind the bar and shot everyone who came in. I did this for about 2 hours, just killing everyone and everything. I also shot the telegraph office dude (by accident), so I had to ride back to MacFarlane Ranch with a shitload of marshalls chasing after me. My bounty was about 15 000$ when I gave the pardon letter. It was fun reading all the crimes I had committed during the spree.

I like the story, but I don't see it getting much better. Oh ho ho, I once thought like this cause everybody was just about finishing the game when I was just sorta getting into it and every page was spoiler ridden. I actually got the game spoiled for me but I'd actually already figured it out. Here's why: I thought the main character was the same voice as Johnny Klebitz from GTA IV: Lost and Damned. So I looked that up in the back of the manual and it wasn't. However right below it was the voice of a Jack Marston. This was before I'd even heard much of Jack's son in the dialogue to even assume I'd ever see him in the game. So I figured with such a high billing in the credit's he'd end up as a playable character. I didn't know until it got spoiled here that I ended up playing as a grown Jack. I figured that maybe by the time I came home Jack was old enough to be a little bit of a bad rear end and I'd do a couple missions as him. Maybe him and John fight off some feds or something. I was really happy it ended the way it did but gently caress the guy who loving ruined it on here.

From what I've been seeing online, apparently you can clear out your system cache, go in to RDR and refuse the update (because it did nerf that XP), head in to System Link multiplayer alone, and get un-nerfed XP for hideouts. I haven't yet tried it yet myself, because I don't know if I want to put that much time in to grinding a single hideout alone for hours on end, but it might be an option.

Co-op missions are so much fun, especially the Hardcore ones (but Herd is loving hard for me). Using the No Holds Barred class makes leveling up in free roam actually good for something for once!

Nothing more infuriating than riding around for hours looking for a certain animal to complete a challenge. It's as infuriating but less rewarding as real hunting. Where the gently caress are the cougars so I can knife them! (I read the wiki)

Many of the animal spawns are linked to the environment. In a lot of areas, cougars only spawn at dawn, and at dusk. In other news, the most fun in the game for me is still the co-op missions but there's starting to be a real rear end in a top hat factor in the pickup groups (start The River, spawn on the raft, get shot in the back of the head at point blank range). Apparently "cooperative" is not a word for a lot of XBL players. Anyways, I'm trying to start the advanced missions now and they're really pretty challenging. So anybody who wants to hit those (Euro evenings and weekends) drop a line. GT: Alrindel.

Because he grew up knowing how to ride a horse, skin an animal and fire a gun? I didn't get the sense that Jack was bad in the slightest, I figured he lived the good life with his mother up until she died and afterward didn't know what else to do besides kill the man who ruined his childhood and his family. Obviously I'm a completely different person in an entirely different time but I know I'm a good person and I would have done the same thing. e: ^ I like to think he's Cormac McCarthy's father/grandfather.
