Try not looking at the screen while doing it, that really screwed me up. Then break up the pattern like this: BY XBY BY XBY With the A's tossed in there of course (or whatever moon symbols the PS3 uses). I find muttering "bee why? ex-bee, why?" to myself makes it easier too.

dexplosivo posted:It is literally the easiest minigame. The pattern never changes. Yeah, but there's remembering the pattern and remembering the pattern well enough so you don't hesitate in the middle of the button mashing. On the last guy, it usually comes down to me being one row away from winning, then I gently caress up on the last button or so. After that I'm so pissed off that I can't concentrate, and I just start wildly stabbing Marston's hand because I either forget the pattern or my hands are too shaky to keep up any rhythm.

Are you by any chance hitting skip when the computer has their turn? Because that decreases the overall time you have to complete it yourself. I know I hosed myself a few times before I realized that I need to watch the whole animation to get the most time.

So, in one of those sidemissions I had to go and pick up something and deliver it to a foreman and then he pays me $1000 which I have to give to some other old English dude. However, turns out I'm delivering opium and John doesn't seem happy about that. And I have the choice to give back the cash or keep it. Why would I give it back?

You would give it back because you fail the mission if you don't. It's pretty stupid but at least you can recover the money from his corpse afterwards.

So I've only just realised that the action button makes you insult people when you have low honour. I've spent a good hour in Armadillo insulting people then beating them up, especially if they give me any backchat. Best thing is, there's different stuff for the whores as well as "normal" characters and sheriffs. Everyone gives different answers to your insults, too. It's awesome. Most fun ever. My favourite moment so far was when Marston was insulting a whore, calling her old. I then pushed her down some stairs and chased after her, kicking her on the floor. Then I hit the action button again and Marston goes "are you as aroused as I am right now?" Then I moved on to a guy drinking from the water trough and kicked him in the rear end, causing his head to go into the trough. I love this game.

I'm 100% sure that when I got to that part, Marsten and the guy had a little conversation and the game gave me a text prompt saying, "give him the $1000, or kill him and keep it for yourself."

Just finished it today, I've thoroughly enjoyed it. I love that I was never forced to do missions, so I could spend ages exploring. I'm going for 100% now but I'm struggling to get the Half bred Hungarian horse to spawn for the stranger mission. I know the locations but there are hardly any horses at all. I stole a wagon that one was pulling, crashed it down a cliff so I could ride the horse, but it didn't count.

There is nothing more awesome than a five-minute, skin-of-your-teeth close combat against a grizzly, ending when it tries to flee, slips at the edge of a cliff, and falls to its death with a satisfying thump. Also, I tried lassoing a cougar. It sort of worked, but ended very badly for me.

I like using the Mauser for hunting small animals. Nothing more satisfying that searching for 2 hours for a raccoon and using dead eye to unload 15 bullets into it when you finally find one.

Maybe that's what I did wrong then. I just walked away when I the 'press button to give money' prompt came up and then it told me the mission was failed. Probably should have read the prompt a bit closer.

I just finished the main mission stuff yesterday, myself. I spent most of the time doing pretty much whatever I felt like, mostly looking for bandits to shoot. It's kind of funny, though, since now all I need for 100% completion is a little less than half of the random wanted poster things.

NPC's never ride the 3-star horses, if you see someone riding a white or black horse, it's just the 2-star look-a-like versions they've got. Just keep riding around hoping a horse pack(?) spawns with what you're looking for in it.

In free roam a friend and I had some fun chasing a hooker from Armadillo out into the middle of nowhere. We then proceeded to push her down hills, repeatedly kick and punch her and find high things to throw her off of. It ended in an accidental death with a pistol whip. I feel like a terrible person.

Does anybody know of a good location and/or time of day for the Social Club marksman challenge? I really want that cheat, but I don't even see how the challenge is possible beyond just being really lucky and coming across a bunch of things to shoot. That seems to be all it comes down to, finding a time of day and stretch of track that will give you the most targets.

There were plenty of birds and wild horses to rack up the 20 kills while I got the 5 kills during deadeye when I passed a pack of wolves and a rabbit. Once you've done everything you can just jump off the train or wait until it stops at the next station. Although if you haven't completed at least two of the requirements by the next station you'll have to start over once it gets moving again.

Another way to get the 5 Dead-Eye kills is with the train's passengers. If you stand at the back of the passenger car you can tag them and the driver (keep in mind, though, that this will stop the train and end the challenge).

Yeah, there were only four people on the train and I thought it'd be more fun to do from the roof anyway (a lot of the horses I shot had riders on them as well).

I just did a Bounty mission and stayed in aim mode while I rode around the same 4 people and just waited for my dead eye to refill before disarming the guys again. Was really easy.

I figured I'd shut down some side-missions running opium by doing this, but I guess not. See, when I did this mission, I thought the honourable thing to do would be to kill the crooked opium dealer, thus making the west that tiny little bit less corrupt. I got minus honour for doing that.

I definitely gunned him down and didn't lose honour for it. I don't think I even ended up with a bounty on my head. Did you wait until the game prompted you to decide?

Here's a strange one. I'm in the middle of playing and I decide to get the "Dastardly" achievement. I kidnap one woman, hogtie her, drop her on the train tracks...and she disappears completely. I try it again, this one gets hit by the train...and no achievement. I try a third time, now my bounty's up to $80 and it finally works. However, I cannot pay my bounty anywhere I'm supposed to, as there's no one in the offices. I can't visit any stores or save my game at any of my hideouts. I'd just turn the game off, but the last auto-save shows as an hour ago and I did quite a bit since then. Any ideas?

Do something to make the game autosave, such as hitching a new horse or levelling up a challenge.

Using a horse deed, if you have one, is also a convenient way to autosave.

Well I got lucky on the Marksman Challenge just a bit ago. I was at some small station in Neuvo Paraiso and three guys pulled up right beside me on three horses. As soon as the train started up and the "Challenge Started!" message appeared, I went into Dead Eye and marked all the men and their horses, slaughtered all of them and shot the last guy like five times just to be sure. That knocked out two of the requirements (including expert aiming, which I always use), netting me silver and the Beastmaster cheat. Though I have to say, I'm a little disappointed with Beastmaster. The only thing it seems to actually do is cause most animals to follow you if they feel like it, but only until you reach a town and then they run off or vanish. Is there something I'm missing? Do they animals ever attack people or defend you or do anything besides follow you? Edit: VV Hey, up here! I've beaten the challenge already... good enough to get the cheat, at least, which is all I wanted. King Vidiot fucked around with this message at 17:17 on Jul 18, 2010 |

You can deadeye 5 cows, and there's always people on horses and birds to hit as well. I wrapped up the entire challenge before the train started moving again. Also, the quickest autosave I've found is to change your aiming skill level, and then change it right back.
