Happy Happy Breakdance Challenge 4

Are the "Outlaws to the End" multiplayer missions just hopelessly bugged right now? The Escape seems to be the only mission that can make it past the loading screen...

Buggy as gently caress my friend. When I first played, "The Kidnapped Girl" it would fail to spawn the girl herself and her captors. Happened 3 times in a row. Then I had a half-decent, non bugged run. Then, the other day, we played the mexican one (Ammunition, I think it's called) and only the gatling gun guys spawned. When we started the round, it would go "checkpoint, checkpoint, you have passed a checkpoint, checkpoint" and then we'd have about 4 people to kill to finish the mission.

Then, in the same session, we moved onto the mines mission. I went to revive my teammate, who died in a similar position to someone else, and my PS3 locked up hard, causing me to have to power off using the power button.

I know it's free but for gently caress's sake.

I'm working on completing the challenges before I start the final mission set..... and, well.... gently caress Level 10 Survivalist. That's going to be a ridiculously long, tedious pile of poo poo.

It took me 20 minutes, tops. Pop a Survivalist Map, grab the two from Tall Trees/Plains, ride over to New Austin for the Feverfew, Desert Sage, Red Sage and then head to Mexico for the last few. I found all of the Mexican herbs in the area right as you cross the bridge.

Cowboy up, pussy.

Yeah, I just now did all three final survivalist challenges and together they took probably 40 minutes all told.

Now hunting challenges 6-10 look to be a bitch, five each of these little rodents? gently caress that.

If you walk through the front door of the Armadillo General Store and out the back, 90% of the time a racoon or skunk will spawn there immediately.

It's a good way to speed that one up.

Yeah, they "never" released GTA4 about a year after it's console release. So, I would expect it Summer of next year.

I'd wager at least after all the DLC has been out for six months, because you're most like getting it all for free.

I'm playing on the PS3 and some of the graphics, trees and brush especially, are almost painful to look at. It's a weird mixture of "shimmering" (not sure how else to describe it, something funny about the edges) and pop-in. Riding through the snowy mountain gives me a headache. Has anyone else had these problems on PS3? What's it like on the 360?

The snow on the 360 is pretty hard to look at also. I suppose real snow is pretty tough to look at during the day but I'd rather not have to deal with that in the game too.

I think all MP was bugged last night. I was playing Solomon's Folly with my buddy in free roam and the bad guys kept spawning inside the walls of the mine...with the ability to shoot you through the walls when you were in the mine and through the ground when you were outside. That was pretty tough to get through.

I do believe every game ever does. I love the absurd designs classical gunsmiths came up with to "solve" problems with accuracy (2m long barrel!), ammunition (six cylinders in a huge cylinder!) or simple killing power (it fires a quarter-pound slug!).

You've got to start somewhere I suppose. It's funny how we look at stuff like that now and laugh at it' because it's absurd and archaic, I wonder what people in the future will think of our current technology :allears:

30 "Old Western" pounds is like 2.5 "Modern" pounds when adjusted for deflation.

I sucked it up and bought it for the 360. It would be a bit better with mouse aiming (especially for shooting from horseback, using the analog stick to turn backward is sloooow). However, it's still one of the best games I've played in the past few years, so it's worth it to me just to not have to wait.

The guardian, of all newspapers, trying to stir up controversy by picking on the darstardly achievement (tying a woman to the train tracks). How the gently caress can someone get to be critic and be so profoundly unaware of one of the most classic early holywood cowboy movie tropes.

edit: Acutally ignore that. 2 month old article. Whoops.

There's an achievement for this? I was going to try doing that to some criminal anyway to see if it worked! (in Spider-Man 2 if you left thugs webbed up on the train tracks, it wouldn't harm them, though it would harm you if you stood in front of it, which always annoyed me)

I just switched to reading The Grauniad since The Times went behind the paywall. This isn't even the most displeased with it that I've been today...

You can click L3 to make the camera turn around immediately. At least I think it's L3... there's definitely a button for it.

Its amazing when you can play a game over an hour a day for nearly two months and keep finding new poo poo in it.

Today, I found out if you throw a knife at a lamp, it falls to the ground but doesn't break. THEN, if it rolls into the water...it goes out.

This is my favorite game ever.

The Grauniad would be the best newspaper if it wasn't for the loving god awful Berliner style newspaper which makes it the worst of both worlds.

I like to go to Escalera and shove Mexicans in such a way that they cartwheel hilariously down the town's many steep hills. From the right angle and with a lot of luck, you can even try to shatter small clusters of pots in the marketplace. It's like bowling, but with more cursing in Spanish!

I like hogtying a guy, putting him on my horse, then lassoing another and dragging him to a cliff. I then proceed to keep shoving the first guy until he's over the cliff, then I take down the other prisoner, untie them, and shove them over too.
