Dan Didio posted:Armadillo. There's a trick to getting them to spawn consistently. Circle round the general store and after a couple of circuits they spawn in the brush heading south. It's very reliable and worked for me 100% of the time.

They spawn everytime you circle the block, usually. And if you go clockwise round the block it spawns skunks and anti-clockwise spawns racoons. I poo poo you not.

Thanks for the help everyone. By the way serious spoilers What's your favorite theory for the identity of the mysterious man in "I know you"? I'm leaning towards Death or Fate myself, but there seems to be dozens of theories. I also heard you can see him when John gets killed, but I've never noticed him myself.

John was really drunk and completely missed him at the end. The fact that they are on a hill where John is buried is just a coincidence. I don't know where you find dozens of theories on this, he's either the devil, god, fate, death, or something else supernatural or its my theory.

Renoistic posted:Where can I consistently find raccoons and skunks? West Elizabeth is great for raccoons if you have it unlocked that is. Otherwise Hennigan's Stead at night/early morning is a surefire bet. I have luck with skunks around the same times and in the same places as foxes and raccoons. Check Riley's Charge, the desert around Hangman's Rock or up in Hennigan's Stead.

The place just North/West of the Wreck of the Serendipity in West Elizabeth has a few, as well as the odd skunk and a lot of foxes. Careful with bait, though, The first time I used bait there, two cougars spawned right the gently caress on me before I could even get a couple yards away from the bait. The outskirts of Armadillo always has one or two, but they're pretty unreliable. I remember going to Armadillo once to hunt for some, then as soon as I gave up and was about to leave I nearly stepped on a raccoon. Of course, as soon as I turned around to find him he'd disappeared into the darkness. Slippery bastards.

so has anyone been compiling a list of all the classic movie references in this game? I'm not super into westerns but I've already noticed a bunch of them - the gatling gun "trojan horse" idea from the Ft. Mercer mission is from The Outlaw Josey Wales, the Great Mexican Train Robbery mission is very similar to a scene from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, the oil town of Plainview is of course named after Daniel Day Lewis' character in There Will Be Blood - I'm sure there are a ton more that I've missed and I'm only like halfway through the game anyway. What else you guys found?

The Armoured Wagon at the end of the Mexico missions is basically identical to the one from the start of 3:10 to Yuma The "Guy Cutting Up a Whore" random event is basically Unforgiven, and the "Shoot The Noose" events are Blondie's trick from The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.

Mercer mission is from The Outlaw Josey Wales My dad and I just watched A Fistful of Dollars and A Few Dollars More because we're both playing Red Dead, so I noticed a few things. The thing mentioned above also appears in Fistful; the poncho you get after arriving in Mexico is a nod to the one Clint's character wears; when you fire multiple shots in deadeye with a revolver you fan it just like the Man With No Name does. (although I think that's just a gunslinging technique in general? I know nothin about guns) There's probably more stuff I didn't notice.

Yeah the area just north of the Serendipity and East/North-East of Tall Trees are absolutely swarming with cougars. If you skin one or two you're pretty much guaranteed to have two more spawn 15 feet away.

Earwicker posted:What else you guys found? I Know You might reference High Plains Drifter, Pale Rider, and Blood Meridan. The white horse might be a reference to Pale Rider. Landon Ricketts looks just like Sam Elliott, who has been in multiple Westerns (very minor role in Butch Cassidy, Tombstone, Quick and the Dead TV movie) and basically plays grizzled old cowboys now (Big Lebowski, Ghost Rider). The money achievement/trophy is called "More Than a Fistful", probably a reference to A Fistful of Dollars. The achievement/trophy Have Gun Will travel is probably a reference to the show of the same name. I think I'm the only person other than my Dad that has even watched that show, so you guys probably aren't as stoked about it as I am.

Earwicker posted:What else you guys found? This might be a bit of a stretch, but I assumed Dutch was a reference to Ernest Borgnine's character in The Wild Bunch (yeah, it's also that character's nationality, like Irish). Likewise, I assumed Pike's Basin was another nod to a character in The Wild Bunch. I also got a Heart of Darkness/Apocalypse Now vibe from (endgame)the Dutch plot thread, where he's gone into the wilderness to make himself leader of the natives and locked himself up in an isolated fortress.

Got my first ever Platinum trophy for this game last night, it felt pretty good but at the same time now I'm kinda sad because there's not really anything left to do. I guess there's more DLC coming but we have no details. Luckily I just got Demon's Souls!

Crossing into Mexico on a hand-lined ferry, and the line getting shot, is likely a reference to The Outlaw Josey Wales. The sharpshooter challenge where you shoot birds from a train is a reference to Unforgiven. Also, the stranger plot "Funny Man" is probably an Unforgiven reference. I also feel like the pragmatic sheriff in Armadillo is inspired at least a little by Gene Hackman's character in Unforgiven. John playing both sides of the Mexican conflict for his own ends is probably a reference to Fistful of Dollars. A lot of the game seems to be directly inspired by The Wild Bunch, with the theme of the old west dying and former gunslingers struggling to change, adapt or cling to their old way of life. Also, the plot element of outlaws taking refuge in Mexico is from this film (other films as well, but seeing as how much of the game is inspired by The Wild Bunch, I'm guessing this is where the idea came from). There's a mission in Blackwater that is essentially the opening scene of the Wild Bunch. This is fun - any others? edit: duh, Rio Bravo is a reference to Rio Bravo MojoAZ fucked around with this message at 21:21 on Jul 6, 2010 |

Drew MacFarlane (Bonnie's father) reminds me a lot of Brian Dennahy's character from Silverado in terms of his appearance and general manner of speaking though somewhat different in personality. I think that's probably a common western archetype though.

Oh yeah, I figured the rooftop sniping bit was inspired by The Wild Bunch as soon as I came to it in the game, but I'd forgotten about it until now. The scene where you're in Fort Mercer with the minigun sort of reminds me of the finale of The Wild Bunch, too, but then gatling guns were a big Western staple in general.

I wish you could properly rob banks in this game. If they added that and recruiting posse members in single player (ala San Andreas), this would be the perfect game.

Being able to hijack trains (apart from that one mission) would be nice too. When I found the railroad camp in tall trees I poked around hoping I'd find one of those little rail cart things that you have to pump up and down but no such luck

Advanced co-op is glitchy as hell (objects and enemies not spawning, allowing more than four people into a game, the aforementioned carts) but regular co-op has never hosed up on me outside of my hat not appearing occasionally.

Oh, weird. I've never had any glitches in the co-op missions and very few in free roam. Horses got stuck in the ground a lot in single player, but that was about it. Maybe I'm just lucky? I'm playing on PS3, if that makes a difference.

We were unable to complete The Escape on Advanced because enemies would start shooting us hundreds of yards away. On one retry I loaded up on the hill, didn't even have time to draw my rifle, took a bullet in the head and was down. I figured Advanced was supposed to be harder but good god getting sniped by 5 gatling guns half a mile away is hard

 I can't believe I just read 107 pages of the exact same arguments and questions on a 3 page loop.Content: Lets compare (dickwave) meaningless, barely game related stats; I have managed to survive a 304.33ft fall with my horse. Any takers?

I think my record is 298 feet and I have no clue how I did it. On an unrelated note, I have everything I need for the Bollard Gang outfit, except for the scrap from the tailor at Thieves' Landing. Yet, no matter how many times I save to wait or how long I dick around, the tailor is never in his store. I already bought the fancy suit from him so I know he's supposed to be there. I have a sneaking suspicion he was one of the random people I shoved into the lake so that there would be no witnesses to my murder and skinning of an innocent pig

I'm not too far into the game but I have a question--where can I find the beavers needed for the Daedalus and Son stranger mission? Is it just up in Canada which I don't have unlocked yet, or can I find them earlier? I keep looking along the river but I can't find them at all.
