Got RDR today.  Playing through the single player right now, we'll have to play some games on PSN, goons. My PSN is Kyleh614I just did the horse race against Bonnie McFarlane and she glitched her stupid rear end right into a tree and got trapped and I won.

I said come in! posted:Got RDR today. Heh, I am finally nearing 100 percent completion. I usually don't do that for games I own, but this game seems to be calling out to me to do it. Also a hint. Use expert targeting in single player. I think it makes the game much better to play instead of aiming like some sort of auto aiming maniac. I find myself using Dead eye alot more often this way instead of rarely using it on normal targeting.

About the aiming-system, what do most people use on multiplayer? I switched it to expert, because I think it's more fun, but I don't like getting "owned" by pubbies only because they have casual or normal targeting (not that that's always the reason). I guess I could switch to Hardcore Free Roam, but then who knows how good everyone there is.

I haven't played hardcore matches since a couple weeks after release but I remember it coming down to a lot of doorway camping and edge of the map sniping.

Just gotta say, the liar's dice and poker has actually revived this game for me. I've enjoyed the gently caress out of it so far and had some horrible mornings at work because I stayed up waaaaay too late. It's been hilarious.

Having to play on a SDTV until later tonight (curse sharing with other members of the house hold) and the text is pretty readable. Can't wait to see it on the 50" HDTV. The game is really pretty.

Are any 360 goons playing poker or getting up to wild stuff? Add me: ZBU on XBL. Be sure to say that you're a goon or I'll probably just scratch my head and wonder.

Well I guess that is enough single player for me until Rockstar releases a patch to fix my map locations not registering. Im stuck at 99.9% because some glitch is loving with my locations discovered stat.

The game is really pretty. I recently upgraded from a tiny 26" HDTV to a 42" and I haven't touched RDR since it first came out and I beat it. I have my first day off in a month tomorrow, so I'm doing an all-day RDR session. I popped it in last night and played for 10 minutes and its gorgeous.

How's the poker work in multiplayer, anyway? Does it pull your group to a separate game world? What do you bet? Do we get money alongside exp now?

The tables are like the Co-op missions. Pulls into a seperate area, though it seems to be the full world, only it's purely for poker. There's money in it now (possibly before as well?), which you use to bet. Gonna add you now. Want a game?

If you want to do it for the score, go into the deathmatch modes. If you don't care about exp and just want to annoy people trying to do missions, go for Free Roam (though it doesn't hurt to get a bit of exp so you have better weapons and horses for it).

Yeah exp for sure. I noticed however that if I run around killing NPCs in free roam, that seems to give me exp too. Does it only do it up to a certain point however? I also don't have the two paid DLCs yet.

You only get like 1xp for killing an non-enemy NPC, if I remember right. Better to concentrate your efforts on doing a couple of missions and/or killing players. Incidentally, being in a mission disables auto-lock on player characters, meaning they tend not to be able to hit you, especially if you get the first shot in...

Ho ho ho... Go into free roam, run up a huge bounty, get a bunch of officers following you, go to the cougar hunting ground, get into the house, and watch out the window as the cougars slaughter everyone.

Mad Doctor Cthulhu posted:That's weird. Did you the locations by buying the maps at general stores or just finding them on your own? I bought the maps at the general stores, but the game is glitched saying that I have one more location discovered than actually exists in the starting area and I am short one in West Elizabeth and Nuevo Paraiso. Thing is, when I use the Rockstar Social Club site to see what I missed, I go back to the locations and explore them and still nothing.

One more post on bear hunting. Before I read the wiki, I never realized the abundance of bears could be a bug. I thought they'd just run out eventually. Then I made the post before about close to 100 bears in a few hours. I just hit some random seciton of tall trees where bears were coming at me by the trios and two pairs at a time. I eventually killed so much in the same spot that bear carcasses started disappearing. This will definitely tide me over till the zombies show up. Is there an ETA for it btw?

davebo posted:I can't believe I actually earn xp now for sniping animals. I'd do this for free forever. Word. I'm not a great player, but I've managed to level up 7 times today by repeating the cougar hunt south of Rathskeller Fork over and over. It's getting me 250 points every two minutes. The best part? Nobody's here, so I can park the game at the "repeat / continue" screen if I want to take a break. Another guy finally did show up, wondering why I was levelling up so fast. So now he knows, too. This cougar hunting bonanza might be an artifact of the new DLC release or the double XP weekend. Get it while you can.
