You know what weapon this game was sorely missing? A cavalry saber or civil war sword of some sort. I had really hoped you would be able to take the Colonel's after that mission where you kill him and Bill, but no. How great would it be to ride into town, walk into a saloon, and then whip out a saber and jump up on the poker table before skewering everyone sitting there in the face like an rear end in a top hat Errol Flynn? EDIT: Or put on the bandanna and the Legend of the West outfit, and pretend you're a slightly ghetto-er Zorro.

I love how emersive this game is. I was playing horseshoes, but went idle for several minutes. Next thing I know the screen shifts to the waterfountain in the middle of the Mexican ranch, with people hanging out or doing their thing. I move the analog stick, and it goes back to my player. Did I really just get a custom western screensaver? That and the main menu, or just being able to chillout in a stagecoach while being driven somewhere. They're little things, but majorly add to my enjoyment of this game. ninja edit: Make that idle for 2 minutes? Happened again as I was typing. I've never seen this "feature", except being idle playing horseshoes in Las Hermanas.

Yeah, it'll cut to a wide cinematic view of wherever you're at if there's no controller input for a few minutes.CzarChasm posted:Hell, I'm still holding out for a flying horses cheat. Make it happen R* Well, there is a cheat called 'rubber horse' but it hasn't been activated yet. I'm pretty sure all of the in-game phrases have been found, so we'll have to wait a bit for the other half-dozen cheats to roll out.

This game is awesome, but soem parts are really annoying. Just now I was trying to stealthily approach a bounty. I carefully creep around, shank some guards, see one walking my way, pull out my throwing knives and carefully flick one into his throat. He goes down without a sound. Marston: I'M COMING FOR YOU !! It's a minor thing but I wish it was easier to be sneaky in this game..

Marston thinks stealth is for pussies and wants to see the look on his victims faces when they know he's coming. I think the only time you are ever supposed to sneak is in a single mission with Landon Rickets.

I've only been playing multiplayer for a couple of weeks, and I'd be more than willing to help people out with any trophies/achievments they still need, as long as they're up for returning the favor. I have a handfull of "max posse", and "outlaw 2" challenges that I'd like to get done, plus whatever gang territory/XP cocking around you're up for. Also, wear a large hat. I'm typically available on weeknights, 6-10 or so. PSN: Knaves_77

Tewratomeh posted:You'd think a challenge like that would be a lot easier. Not only do they give you unlimited firebottles, the Federales take some of the heat off you so you can concentrate on disarming or whatever. I tried it a few times, though, and had no luck completing even one task before I was killed. Not only that, but the dumb-rear end federales will constantly get in your way while your tossing the fire bottles, and if they accidentally get doused, they all turn on you. Got the cheat after a dozen tries though. My poor roommate never heard so much cursing over video games.

It won't be as funny if you don't have a second horse following you sometimes, but that's not the big a deal. It was really only funny for the co-op missions when people would get into a stagecoach and there where four extra horses plus the ones the bad guys were riding. They kinda blocked the coach for you too. Maybe that'll still work and they were just referring to SP.

The hate I have for "Walton's Gold" cannot be measured. I was having a grand time with the co-op missions until this one popped up. I've yet to find a group that can even make it through the opening gun fight. The two turrets coupled with the sniper and the two guys with explosives in the latter half of the battle end up killing everyone. That usually leads to a couple rounds of "Vote to Retry" followed by acceptance of defeat and finally moving along to the next mission in the playlist. I've beaten it, but it now seems to only serve the purpose of constantly killing the flow of co-op when I decide to hop in and run through a few for fun.

It's not the first gunfight or getting the money out of the mine that gives me problems, it's the gunfight after you exit that sucks rear end. "oh, here. hide behind these windows and get shot at by 20 dudes after they've killed your teammates". gently caress that. The sniper guy I usually get right off the bat because he's annoying as hell, and from that position I can usually get the turret gunners.

I'd be happy to shell out some money for sp content but not multi since I don't play that too much. Also did that patch fix any gameplay issues other than the ones listed? Things like multiple Jacks in the barn towards the end of the game and the game freezing and stuff like that?

The co-op mission that has claimed the most casualties in my games has always been the one where you have to defend that one town at night. People I play with always seem to randomly get taken out by those loving cannons up on the hill. Edit: I'm a bit conflicted about the upcoming DLC. On one hand it'll be cool to have a few new characters to use, but on the other hand I have a feeling that 80% of the people will just use the Red character because he's a badass that looks like John Marston.

Just got the game yesterday and played a bit after work today. Got up to saving the lady from being hung quest. What a great game. I had this lady screaming running out a of bar for me to help her with some sleazy looking guy chasing her. I dismounted my horse and ran over to save her.. but should I shoot him dead or in the leg? I hesitated.. and he stabbed the gently caress out of her.. I felt really bad. Some poor bartender will have to scrape that assholes brains off the porch tomorrow morning.

Veg posted:I hesitated.. and he stabbed the gently caress out of her.. I felt really bad. Whenever you're not sure whether you want to kill some ne'er-do-well or just run him off, just enter deadeye and shoot him in his weapon hand or leg. If he dies, he was too weak for the West and shouldn't have been terrorizing innocent people anyway. If he drops his weapon or falls over, lasso him. If he keeps his feet and shoots back, he is obviously a hardened outlaw and must be killed at once, for the good of the people. RDR is more fun when you play like some kind of cowboy inquisitor. I always mercilessly slaughter every member of a lynch mob, even if it means shooting them in the back while they flee. The first two random, open-world, "please save a person from being hung" events I got were some black guy begging me to rescue his black friend from being lynched by rednecks, and some guy screaming for help because a gang of bandits was hanging his wife. gently caress lynch mobs.

How do you get animals to attack tied up people? Or are you just role playing? The animals ignore the hogtied people for me no matter how much bait I put on them.

Really? That's odd. It seems really hit-and-miss for me but I'll usually see wolves or other things amble over and crowd around bait I've put on hogtied people. Come to think of it, I don't know if they actually attack them because I only do this to nuke the whole shebang with dynamite or a fire bottle anyway. I guess that says something about me. e: God drat it, that's going to bother me, now. I'm going to test it when I get home. Angry Diplomat fucked around with this message at 13:43 on Aug 5, 2010 |

So, I was wondering if anybody else has had some serious issues with the new patch in multiplayer? Last night, when starting a new session, I whistled for my horse in Armadillo. Turns out the thing was stuck in a barn, jammed sideways in a stable. No amount of manipulating the thing would get it out, and I ended up teleporting to another location in order to call it again. Once I got on the thing, it slowly started to sink through the terrain, and by the time I got to my destination, it was knee-deep in the dirt. During one gang-territory clearing, I ran into a enemy that couldn't be targeted, and proceeded to blast the living hell out of me through any cover I ducked behind. Once he killed me, I apparently respawned in a Hell dimension or something, infinitely falling. At least I was entertained, because my character's flailing left after-images, basically turning me into a human kaleidoscope. I had to quit the game entirely in order to get any control back. I've never ran into any problems with 1.02, so I'm assuming that this new patch is buggy as hell. Also, they took out the knife/dead-eye? Goddamn it, that was my "go-to" for griefing dickheads.

Oh, thank god the last character was Jack Swift. The 8th character never showed up in the screens they released and I thought for sure it'd be Diego. Wish they'd included Tall Trees (Well, some place that's not Manzanita), but I'm good with Blackwater and Thieves Landing. I was hoping they'd use Cochinay this time around, but I get this feeling they're waiting on the next DLC pack's "Attack and Defend" mode for that.

Something I don't understand is why they still haven't really released anything involving Dutch's hideout or the crashed steamboat. Both are pretty cool areas and seem like no-brainer gang hideouts but you only ever really go there once in single player and have no reason to go there in multi.
