At the end of the game has anybody shot the gun out of Ross' hand? If so, what happens?

You can't. You have to kill him in the duel.

Has anyone come up with a foolproof method of shooting peoples' hats off? I keep trying to get fancy and knock the hats off of people I've disarmed, but then I end up also managing to hit them in the top of the head and it's a giant spray of blood and oh god I've killed an unarmed man.

vvv Why the gently caress did I never try this. :doh: vvv

I had quite a time in Casa Madrugada. I was trying to beat up the bartender but he kept running away and then respawning right behind me. All the while the whores were screaming DIOS MIO!!!!!

After I'd heard that wild horses count towards Unnatural Selection, I killed a couple of wild horses while out riding around. I was in one of those don't-give-a-gently caress moods, but then Marston said something like "So this is what I've been reduced to, horse killin'"

Then I felt bad about it :smith:

I have the new slim 360. I spoke with a friend who also experienced the same problems I have. The instance it happened for both of us was when there was rain and looking into to some brush or just towards the ground.

Seems to just be game related.

EDIT: Friend is running new slim system as well.

Not true on 360. I turned in the last John mission, talked to Ross' wife, did Aztec Gold, turned in Daedelus and Son with materials I gathered before I completed the last John mission, then killed Ross. Jack had everything.

Question: I just got to Mexico in the game since I've been playing slowly. I tried to max out my honor, but it seems stuck at the line for the last bit. Do I need to get past a certain point for it to get moving again, or is it hosed up? I just getting caught cheating at poker on purpose to initiate duels, then disarming them for big chunks of honor.

Pause, select Stats, then select General (I think, it's whatever the first one is under stats). Your Honor rank should be listed there. If it says Hero, you're maxed.

From what I read I was expecting a crowd of 15 year old assholes to be waiting for me to spawn so they could immediately kill me hundreds of times but it was actually pretty sparse and the other people in free roam seemed fairly decent, no spawn campers or anything like that. not bad, though maybe i just got lucky

I've had more good luck than bad in multiplayer. Only once did I get on a server with two assholes hell-bent on griefing me at every turn; for the most part, people will leave you alone or posse up and go do fun poo poo together.

The FFA / Gang Wars games on the other hand can be pretty dickish, with a lot of people quitting when you're about to win, that kind of thing.

yea in free roam there was one guy who i hunted down and killed, then ran into him a little later and killed him again. he respawned right in front of me and i didnt want to be a dick so i gave him some room and took off into the hills. He came after me though, caught up and started shooting so I figured fair enough, turned around and got a couple nice rifle shots in and he then he quit. I didnt really mind it was just kind of funny. i can see how that'd be really irritating if you are trying to win a more specific game though.

Yeah, the griefing in this game isn't very creative. The only instances where I've been annoyed enough to leave a match and do something else was when some guy on my team in a gang match spent the whole match hunting me down and killing me and another time when me and a couple other dudes began herding the cows in that coop mission before one of them decided dynamite was a legitimate cow herding implement.

Endgame spoilers

I had the ending spoiled for me, so I did as much as possible before switching over to Jack. Once I was stuck with him I only had to do four things for the 100%: buy the US Army scrap in Blackwater, save my game in his bed, get the US Marshall outfit, and complete the final stranger mission. I never thought I would get that dastardly achievement until I met Edgar Ross' wife. For Ross, I shot him in the balls and emptied the rest of my clip into his face. This is coming from a guy who doesn't want to kill the in-game buffalo and didn't kill any wild horses until he absolutely had to. Good job, Rockstar, this is your magnum opus.

EDIT: Just in case, this is all endgame.

Weirdly, I was very similar.

Kill the buffalo? No way! Ross's wife, however, was hogtied, shot nearby to terrorise, burnt to death using fire bombs, and finally had her body rolled into the lake. Her uncle suffered a similar fate. I want people to know you don't do that poo poo to a Marston.

Desperate, desperate request: I'm already sick of Inigo Montoya Jack, is there any way or cheat to play as John again? If nothing else his voice irritates me way more than Jack's did.

The only time I've really had a problem was one server where it was me and two other guys, and they spent the whole time warping to wherever I was and shooting me over and over. I kept travelling across the map to try to do gang hideouts, and they would just travel in and shoot me.

Took about 5 minutes to quit out. :)

Edit: I've had way more positive experiences than negative, like the time I went for my 10 minutes as Most Wanted achievement, the two guys who came to hunt me down ended up joining my posse and helped me get the cheevie rather than kill me. That's good fun.

I just need bounties to 100% this now, only other R* game I've managed that on was Vice City and that was with extensive use of a guide.

I can't believe how fun this game is. I'm well over 100 hours in and still not in the slightest bit bored. I do wish I could go back to playing as John thoughand I STILL haven't had the Gentlemans Attire unlock but it's good enough I guess. I cannot WAIT for the new DLC, zombies sound awesome.

Also the co-op missions are fun as hell, more so when you spend your time on voice chat as a backwater hick confused by everything. Which is what I did. Fun times.

If anyones interested in co-op go ahead and add me (360): MiisterBung

Not quite though, since we were motivated to kill for personal reasons whereas Ross was motivated to kill to further his social/political/career standings. Ethically yes, we both committed the same atrocity (murder) but I wouldn't say the killings are of equal motivation.

In my imagination Jack seduced Ross' wife before ever revealing his identity. He then hired a photographer to hide and photograph the ensuing anal sex, which he threw copies of to the townspeople as he dragged the bitch through town behind his horse.

I was doing Nosalida and another guy walked in. Neither of us had a mic, so we just cleared the whole place out together and parted ways without a single word. It was such a badass feeling of unspoken trust, I love it when I see another person without getting shot right away. :3:
