He might be a stupid horse, but he's my stupid horse. I think it saves two horses at a time. If you break/buy a new horse and it dies, the one you were previously using should come trotting along if you call for a new one. After that though I'm pretty sure it's just the default paint horse.

appropriatemetaphor posted: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 was standing next to the guy on the cliff for Daedalus and Son, and whistled for my horse. It blipped and started running towards me, and then WHOOOOOOSH, right off the edge without even slowing down. I guess he wanted to fly too.

So I just derailed the train with a Mexican lady. I tossed her on the train tracks, when the train got to her it literally stopped dead in it's tracks. Now it's shaking violently, the back wheels are about a foot in the air, and the still living woman is underneath the cow catcher.

Trains seem to be weird and buggy. Punching or shoving the train's engineer results in all kinds of odd poo poo, like him teleporting around or clipping through things. Occasionally he'll somehow clip into Marsten hard enough to ragdoll him, causing the unfortunate cowboy to cannon out of the engine car at hazardous speeds (or just keel over dead from a mysterious voodoo curse). I haven't tried multiplayer yet, but as I understand it, you can play in the open world. Are the trains still running, in that case? I want to get a few friends on and have awesome Indiana Jones-esque fistfights and lasso duels on top of train cars. vvv Well that is just plain unacceptable. I guess I'll have to settle for Cowboy Parkour rooftop brawls, then. vvv Angry Diplomat fucked around with this message at 08:45 on Jul 12, 2010 |

Knuc If U Buck posted:No lasso in multiplayer either. That's probably because some high-level rear end in a top hat would manage to hogtie every single other player on the server and they could do nothing about it. That'd be funny as hell if it were you doing the tying, not so much to be stuck in one spot with absolutely no way to get out except leaving. The only way to put hogtying in would be a countdown that auto-releases you from the lasso after a set time, or a mini-game where you can escape. As it is the only two ways out are death or getting cut free, and guess which one of those would never happen.

Capn Beeb posted:It'd be nice if one of those packs brought a cheat or something to the single player so you're not stuck playing as a spastic hooplehead and go back to being John. What do you think? Case in point, I just finished it on Saturday and not knowing anything about what would happen in the game after your mission was over. So I got to fully experience the best ending of a video game ever. I loved the fourth act, just chilling with the family, properly connecting with them, seeing Bonnie again and really feeling this worth all the bloodshed and being knowingly used as a puppet. As I enjoyed it more, the feeling of doom crept in. I knew what would happen, John and his wife knew what would happen. From when the army showed up on the skyline to John standing in the barn knowing what was outside was pitch perfect. It was as good as Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid, maybe better because you were alone. I regret not taking more of them out, I had a moment of hope where I might be able to kill enough of them to fight my way out. Then the grave, a welling of tears not seen since the end of HL2 Episode 2. "I guess the next game is Red Dead Revenge... Oh wow apparently not." I definitely did not fast travel to my vengence. For the first time I put on the duster coat. When I met his wife, I hogtied her and threw her on the back of the horse, so he would watch her die. Brother got murdered. Then I shot my father's killer dead. BAM game over. Amazing.

Pretty sure it already works this way, since I've hogtied people and come back to have them shoot at me on several occasions now. I just figured that it could be impossible to hogtie players and the lasso would only incapacitate them for a short time. Alternatively, they could keep trying to shoot while getting dragged around, or switch to the knife to cut the rope. It would be hilarious to see a guy go rocketing past on his horse, dragging some random bandito who was wildly shooting at his captor as he bounced down the road.

Goddamn rage-quitting pubbie fuckers.  I won two FFA matches in a row, and I foolishly gloated that I needed one more FFA win to get the win three in a row achievement, and EVERYONE loving quit out of the game. Hoping that the wins would carry over to a new game, I loaded into a new FFA match, won, but didn't get the achievement. Son of a bitch.

This happens so much I'm surprised they keep putting achievements like this into games, because it's not even a measure of how good you are at the game anymore, it's a measure of how much ragequitting bullshit you're able to put up with. Between this game and Bioshock 2's multiplayer achievements, I wish I could just opt-out of even bothering with this poo poo. (I guess I can just by not playing but then my OCD would destroy me. )

gently caress me... I shot and skinned 30 bears there just now, plus a couple boars that thought they could join the party. Only reason I left was that I managed to expend all my repeater AND rifle ammo. I must've shot quite a few more bears as well, but I think the game actually couldn't handle all the carcasses and removed a few. loving insane!

Baggins posted:gently caress me... When I was going for the Bearly Legal achievement, I would kill a bear, wait to skin until another showed up, kill that one and skin the first. I did this for like an hour and by the time I was done I had at least 50 or so bear carcasses in a giant pile (after a while I tried to kill them all on top of each other). That was some of the most fun I've had in the game.

Bear hunting is hilarious with the Buffalo Rifle. In fact, the Buffalo Rifle is just such a goofily powerful blunderbuss in general that I'm unable to resist using it for grossly inappropriate things, like obliterating banditos at close range or shooting small game. Did you know that shooting a skunk with the Buffalo Rifle causes it to vapourize?  Bears are nasty as heck, though. When I killed a couple of them up north to work toward the "kill X bears with one shot" ambient challenge, I kept turning around to find a murderous assassin bear right behind me after I finished skinning my previous kill. loving sneaky those bears.

I feel like I cheated the game by doing that, but holy crap were there a poo poo load of bears when I went after Brumas. Even after I killed Brumas, the bears managed to kill my horse as I was making my getaway.

Sorry if that has been posted before but I try to avoid game threads as to not ruin the gameplay. I already saw to much just by scanning the OP I bought this a couple days ago for the PS3 and I'm loving the single player but everytime I try to play multiplayer I'm the only person in what ever game I choose including Free Roam. I looked on-line and it seems to be a common problem with the only solutions of just keep trying(I have) and changing the router to a NAT 2. Is anyone else encountering this? How were you able to fix it? I don't have any friends who play the game so is my only hope to add a bunch of you guys?

God I love this game so much. There is so much to do. I had an odd experience though. I was on my way somewhere when I came across a bunch of prisioners who were escaping. I was feeling a bit good natured that day so I decided to lasso them and bring them back to the cop alive. The cop said something along the lines of "Thanks, now to get these guys back to prison." He then shot them both. I felt a bit cheated about that.

I was dicking around in free roam once and some guy invited me to posse and then instantly threw us into a ffa game but didn't explain anything and didn't have a mic. For the next 2 games I won the initial standoff and then proceeded to hide in a room somewhere for 10 minutes. After the third time he quit instantly after dying in the standoff and I got my achievement. Unless they changed something it should have given you the achievement.

I'm going for 100% completion and I'm at 99.5% right now. After looking at the Red Dead Wiki I'm almost sure that the missing .5% is for blackjack. So that prompts this stupid sounding question. How do you win at blackjack? Do you just leave with more money than you came in with or is it like poker where your opponent eventualy goes bust?

Start playing, win one hand and quit the game. Because you left with more money than you started with you "won" giving you the outfit objective. If you lose a hand or two, quit and start over.

I maxed out on wolf pelts. I ran into what must have been a wolf spawning ground. I'd kill five, begin to skin them and before I got the second one done I'd hear more growling. I'd raise my gun, blast away and have multiple corpses of wolves roll to my feet for easy access.
