My favorite part of the zombie DLC? "Mr. Ross, so you're back from the dead. Well, time to put your into the GRAVE AGAIN, MOTHERFUCKER!" *unloads high powered pistol into his face yet again* Good times.

I've been having a lot of fun playing a goodie-two-shoes white hat cowboy type, but I found my limits during The Prohibitionist stranger mission do a shot everytime you blow a prohibitionists head off! It's me, I'm the single issue voter, except replace "voter" with "assassin."

The part that annoyed me about that mission is that if you don't kill the preacher guy, the man who put you up to it cusses you out, promises to turn the bartending mafia against you, and walks away. And you can do nothing! I replayed the mission once hoping that if I was really quick I could shoot him before his getaway but no dice. At least by that point my honour was so high drinks were free anyway. Zero doubled is still zero.

So I just funished up the old gunslinger's missions in Mexico and am loving how the Mexicans actually speak Spanish to one another. Of course by a wild fluke of fate they can all speak English when Marston needs them to, but it's nice to not hear Mexicans wandering around speaking to each other in bad English. Also I love the stranger missions. THERE ARE NO HAPPY ENDINGS. I was feeling nice about getting a guy some flowers for his wife... welp. Should have known better. After all, I called where the old lady's hubby was going to be right when I met her, and again when I asked what happened to him and the piano jock said, 'what happens to us all?' and of course the Devil/Mephistopheles/Death or whoever he is is just so fun to listen to. Hello, JOHN. The one I took the most pity on was California though. I knew by the third time I met him that he wasn't going to find his California. Poor dude just needed to lay off the cactus juice for a while, but he wouldn't listen. On the other hand, some of the morality bickering in the missions seems forced. Landon Ricketts: WATCH YOUR TONE BO-AH! Marston: NO U! *slapfight* .... Landon Ricketts: YOU KNOW YOU REMIND ME OF ME WHEN I WAS YOUNGER  What the gently caress? Is he senile, and just forgot that he was arguing about murdering people?

So I'm about to close in on a deal to buy this game for $40 dollars straight up. Is it worth it? I've read the reviews, I've read this thread a bit, but I just want some reassurance. Is it worth it?

No, it's pretty heavily implied (as in, with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer) that Ricketts was a violent son-of-a-bitch in his youth. He was a famously skilled gunslinger who killed a lot of people and didn't give a poo poo. Of course Marsten reminds him of himself.

I kind of got the impression that he had just decided not to give a poo poo anymore because he realized that he was playing out a scene from his own youth, and all those scenes had ended in his young self killing whoever occupied the position he was in now. Maybe it's just me  vvv This is more likely, but I like to fill holes in the plot with conjecture and make it cooler than the writers did  vvv

His point had nothing to do with Landon Ricketts specifically, the same thing happens with Bonnie, Espinoza, De Santos, and many other NPCs. Its a crazy bug found in modern games called a lower than necessary writing budget.

It would be cool if in one of the updates they make taunting people in multiplayer easier. They went through the hassle of making all these hilarious and unique things your character can say but you almost never hear anybody use them because it's such a pain in the rear end. Say I'm crouched behind a barrel and blast somebody in the chest with the sawn-off shotgun, if I want to call that person's mother a whore I have to leave cover, stand up, holster my gun, and then press B in order to do it. Why can't I just call his mother a whore while remaining in cover with my gun out?

It's even better when everyone else joins in the madness and all you hear is people yelling at each other in spanish and english.

It's essentially me playing exactly when I wanted to be when I was 9 years old ...and 22 years old... It helps that I tend to have Marston's attitude in cutscenes like 99% of the time though. I don't give a poo poo about anything else, I just want to find these cocksuckin' outlaws.

Do all the Bonnie Missions first, even though they mostly suck, and you'll be told to spend some time in Armadillo. Her missions are tutorials and give you some of the basic equipment you need to do a lot of the jobs. Specifically, she gives you the lasso, which you need to take bounties alive. You also get one of the best horses in the game out of it.

So I just got to the end and John died. I had that spoiled for me, so it wasn't as surprising as it should have been (and the title for that mission was pretty telling). And as Jack, after the first time he killed a guy in a duel, he said "Guess someone taught me well!"  . I have a question though, does Jack have any missions, or is it all open world for him? I'm just wondering if there is a definite 'end' to the game, or if it ends when I get tired of playing it.

Completely agree. The only credits I've ever enjoyed watching too, just because the music for this game is fuckin' perfect. e: \/ I couldn't disagree more. (End-endgame poo poo) Playing as Jack not only allows you to experience the game world after you've beaten it, avoiding Fallout 3 "what the gently caress I want to keep playing" bullshit as well as letting you complete the story to it's logical conclusion. The first thing I did when I took control of Jack was rode into Blackwater and torched the Police station with fire bottles, I didn't even realize there was another stranger mission to be found. I think it would have cheapened the game had it been finished another way. fennesz fucked around with this message at 00:06 on Jul 12, 2010 |

This game has been great. Onto the second run though and just got to where Im heading into blackwater. From my last run through, I had a few issues with the ending I think the story would have been punchier if they just ended it where John dies. Theres a nice circularity to Jacks revenge, but it just felt a little labored. Or they could have let John live, and gently caress bonnies lights out. Or let Jack service her, so he could have a line like "Pa taught how me to deal with cougars!". Heres what rules about this game: Bears. loving god drat bears. I hate them and love them. I hate them because they keep owning me, but I love them because they make the woods genuinely tense. John is a great character, and probably the most 'human' rockstar lead character since Nicko Belik. Jack was annoying as poo poo. He'd be less so if it wasnt for that stupid voice they gave him. Kid sounds like a south park character Horses. The horse dynamics are great. I'm playing my second game "evil", and the dark horse is pretty cool. Nothing great, but he looks good, and he seems pretty tough. But the horses are also hilariously stupid sometimes, and seem hell bent on suiciding off cliffs. I've dubbed all my horses "Stupid horse". I really love the gunplay as well. Dead eye works a shitload better than the stupid slow-down system from the old Max Payne games. It actually makes sense here. I think the gattling could be a little beefier though. I'm glad Rockstar resisted the urge to make this game about bullet rationing. I hope the zombie addon isnt poo poo. duck monster fucked around with this message at 23:27 on Jul 11, 2010 |

Speaking of horses, I was wandering around in the frozen river area (just unlocked it, it's totally Canada...it's full of beavers and antlered beasties!) when I noticed my horse was gone. I kept calling it; nothing. Until a few most whistles when lo here comes some lovely 2 star horse. I guess my horse died. Then the horse goes galloping past me right into the river and dies.  I guess that's where loving Horse went .

I've lost more horses from shooting them myself because of this than from cougars and bears and everything else. I have had a couple issues with my horse where they wouldn't get the hell away from me. I know a few times I've went to go get a bounty and then all of a sudden my horse wanders up beside me and then gets shot to death by bandits.

I've never had any real issues with horses, I've had the same one for ages now and the moment I used another one to try it out, it was completely different. They did say the horses have their own personalities and whatnot, and it's pretty apparent in some cases. The new horse I used freaked out whenever there was gunfire whereas my old, trusty steed didn't bat an eye even if I shot a gun right next to it. I got tired of chasing that new horse so I sent him to greener pastures.

The horse is riding to where looking/running. When you call your horse, start running whatever direction you want to go, when your horse gets to you it'll pass right by your shoulder allowing you to mount it and continue without changing directions. If it's running away from you turn around, call it again and run the other way. It's always riding to where you're looking.

appropriatemetaphor posted:I guess that's where loving Horse went Hahaha, I call my horse that too. I keep getting strange looks from my wife when I say, "get back here, you loving horse! gently caress! slow the gently caress down! Aaaaagh you loving horse" The horse tries to match your movement to sync up with you, but most of the time that results in it just running away from you. You have to kind of "trick" it by turning and running in a different direction until it moves past you, then suddenly facing it and grabbing it as it passes. There is a weird kind of charm in scrambling to catch that equine rear end in a top hat as it fucks off with your bounty in the middle of a bandit attack, though. loving Horse
