appropriatemetaphor posted:Oh yeah, how do you manage to cheat at poker? I have the special suit and everything, but when I press Y I get caught practically immediately. Is there some trick to getting that stupid arrow to stay in the center? You press Y, then move the arrow all the way to the side, and then you get to kill somebody in a duel. If you want to do it wrong and actually stay in the game for some reason, The Lone Badger's advice is good. Also, my experience has been that if you cheat too many times in quick succession, you're more likely to get caught. Just hold on to that stolen card and wait until it'll be useful, or swap it for a better card and hold onto that one until you need it. As long as you've got a card up your sleeve, it's just a matter of waiting to see when it'll make a difference.

Ok, I have a stupid question. Who the hell is the dark-haired chick on the cover of the instruction booklet (and lots of other promo stuff) supposed to be? Is it Abagail? She's the only candidate I can think of but that drawing doesn't really look much like her character in the game. It obviously doesn't really matter but I was waiting to meet whoever that was at some point.

I think she's a multiplayer skin, though, if that matters. She's just some random person in singleplayer, though. Like the girl they had in the loading screens for GTA4.

fennesz posted:Don't read this unless you have 100%. This might be a foolish question but, why do you feel Jack is bad and not good? 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. I know this is a few days old, but I don't think Jack is necessarily bad or not good, but he was really into that story about the son who avenged his gunslinging dad. You can hear in his voice when he tells his horse to "WORK, YA drat NAG!" that he's got some anger in him, and who wouldn't after losing your parents? Mostly it's an excuse to finally let myself murder townspeople because I didn't feel right doing it as John.

It seems pretty clear that Jack is understandably angry, whether that makes him bad or not I guess is up to the player. Unfortunately for me his 'lets go! LETS GO!' line sounds almost exactly like Eric Cartman.Dan Didio posted:It's no one, just a random woman. I think she's a multiplayer skin, though, if that matters. Well. That answers that then, cheers! Biggest regret from the game I think is that you don't get a chance to track down that no-good Fordham as well. He was really running his mouth about Abagail and I was hoping John would get a chance to put a bullet in him. Giant Tourtiere fucked around with this message at 16:25 on Jul 3, 2010 |

If you listen to him more, you can tell that Jack's mind is starting to slip as well and he's falling into the role that he assumes that his father had. When you go out hunting and he keeps mentioning that 'dad said I wasn't much of a hunter,' you realize that his bitterness is starting to affect his mind to the point where he's not misremembering reality, he's changing it so he's a permanent outlaw who always proves someone in authority wrong. His father didn't think he couldn't be a hunter, you dumb son of a bitch. He just said you shouldn't go off and start hunting BEARS on your own. But Jack seems to be really hosed up by the experience of having his entire family die in the span of a few years. Sure, the man responsible is now rotting in the Rio Grande and being used as Beaver food, but that doesn't reverse the incredible trauma that boy has experienced or the resultant mental illness that comes from that. And considering he's emulating his father while dismissing reality, one can only wonder what will really become of Jack Marston and his cowboy ways. He kinda picked the wrong time to become a cowboy now that everything from 1914 onwards starts changing the entire layout of the nation quite quickly. He'll be 35 when the Great Depression hits, and in his mid-forties when World War II begins. Not a good future for a cowboy there.

Very confused. Just did the first Seth mission and my stallion is gone. It's replaced with some other random horse. I didn't kill my stallion nor hitch a different horse. What gives? After I stole the Marshal's horse I never saw my stallion again e: Oh, they probably shot it is my guess. Reverend Rath fucked around with this message at 22:49 on Jul 3, 2010 |

I 100% the game a while ago but now I have some lingering achievements that I'd like to finish out. Namely the 5000 dollar one bounty one. I know a lot of people have suggested going to Blackwater and getting up on the roof but I keep getting impatient (which is admittedly my fault) but I gently caress up and get shot by some random cop...plus the roof overlooking the town square area by the police station has some bad viewing angles. Anyone have a better spot to post up? Also the achievement for killing 500 people on mounted weapons, can i just keep replaying that one mission with the cannons where the fort gets attacked to rack up the kills that way??

It's actually very very easier to do this achievement in multiplayer. Just go to the fort in Perdido get a bounty and blow the gently caress out of the federales with the canons there. Not only will it get you the achievement, it'll get you hooked on multiplayer.

I just shot some random people then rode around on my horse outside of town shooting people. I didn't mean to start going for the 5k bounty, I accidentally stole something out of a closet or whatever, then some federales started shooting me so I jumped out onto the roof, called my horse, and jumped from the roof right onto the thing; it was p cool  .Also, shooting guys in the legs, then riding them down with your horse is awesome. I always do that to the last po po in the group.

I felt gypped when I got the White Bronco achievement while doing the $5k bounty -- all I did was ride in and out of Armadillo, it said Marshals were after me, and I guess they couldn't immediately see me because I got the achievement right away. I was hoping for an epic, drawn out chase and gunfight ending with a leap off of a ridge or something.

Well, I'm on my third partial playthough of this game (1st time the game disk got scratched accidentally and we returned it, second time the PS3's hard drive died...), and I totally fuckin' love it. I'm only at storming Ft. Mercer with the gatling gun but it's been one hell of a ride so far. Something pretty strange happened today though: A prostitute near Armadillo stole my horse. I whistled for him back and he returned to me, dumping the chick onto the ground at some point. Pretty darn funny, but I got honor points for it too. Is this some sort of glitch or did I miss something?

Is the larger satchel that you get from one of the challenges bugged for anyone else? As I understand it, it's supposed to carry twice the amount of items that the normal bag does, but whenever I fill it up (10x Medicine, 10x Bait and so on), save, and then load the game the next time I'm back down to 5 of everything.  Just 100% the game earlier and had a blast doing it. The last hunting challenges especially were fantastic. Brumas bitchslapped me off Nekoti Rock and my horse soon followed. I paid him back with a couple of Buffalo Rifle rounds to his skull.  Also I only now noticed the binoculars in the inventory. When do you get these? I knew they were in the game and all but I always thought they'd show up in the weapon menu instead of your bag.

I've done a couple of missions in the Blackwater/Tall Trees area and I really feel bad for the natives. I know the ignorance of the Europeans is intentional, but sometimes I wish I could crawl into the game and shoot up and eliminate entire towns of white people. Sucks that John Marston is so ignorant about world events but that was the average Joe for you. I like how the Caucasians think they actually helped the natives by bringing civilization to them. Little do they know that firearms, trains, automobiles, and electricity, telegraphs, etc. actually complicate your life in the long run and lead to our future right here and now where we're basically slaves to our corporate jobs. I could argue that living a simple life as a native pre-invasion, was better than living in a place like England where you're literally walking through poo poo in the streets and dying of small pocks. As a native, one of your few cares in life for the most part was having enough food to eat, starting a family, and earning the respect of your community. Of course I'm not saying that the natives were perfect because they weren't for they waged war with each other all the time. Yeah someone could argue they were living in ignorance of many things just like natives in the Amazon live in ignorance today, but would their lives really be better if we "civilized" them? I say no. I just wish I could go back in time with a machine gun and mow down Columbus and then teleport over to Europe and detonate a 100 megaton nuclear bomb in England, Spain, and France for good measure. Also I like how you help the rebels defeat the Mexican military in Mexico only to discover that the new leader in charge is just as bad as the old one. TakeTwo really did their research for this game. BIOJECT fucked around with this message at 00:47 on Jul 5, 2010 |
