I've ground my way to almost 3rd tier, and all I have to say is that the zonkey better be lightning fast or something, because Bonzo, the Buffalo, and Albino Buffalo are all slower than the American Standard Bred horse as far as I can tell.

It's not, and all the information about the buffalo being slower and harder to turn than a horse was readily available from the moment people were using hacked savegames on the xbox. You won't receive the kind of reward you're looking for, sorry  Edit: but hey if you're third legendary, why stop now? :P

Aratoeldar posted:What is it about these want-be remakes of classic westerns (3:10 to Yuma, True Grit)? To be fair, it's not a remake. It's another adaptation of the novel that the first was based on. The Coen bros. are looking to make this one more true to the novel than the 1969 adaptation.

Dr.Smasher posted:the zonkey better be lightning fast Nope. It has incredible stamina, and can out run anything OFF road, but on roads it is slower than the standardbred and also it can't jump or turn as fast. Also, you will be shot on sight for riding it.

That stamina reminded me to ask something. When you're riding you can just tap X in a rhythm so that you're riding as fast as the horse will go but the bar doesn't actually deplete. I normally just sort of hum the beat in my head so I know when to tap it, but is that pretty much what everyone does? There's no actual benefit to tapping it a bunch of times any faster than that specific rhythm, right?

I just listen to the rhythm of the horses hooves hitting the ground and spur in sync.

Mad Doctor Cthulhu posted:Pretty much. I will regret saying this, but the legendary mounts would be nice if they were included in one of the DLCs. I know Rockstar put a lot of work into the titles but they were running low when it came to pursuading people to play forever. A 10G for an achievement to prompt people to go back to zero is just lame. Personally, I found it worthwhile to at least hit +50 for the Buffalo. With that, I've got all the mount variation I need  i still use the American Standardbred anyways e: This Tokubetsu fella had better juss' git. We don't like his kind 'round here /spits VVV Haha, that's badass

I finally figured out that I can grind the multiplayer game by starting a new private game and just playing alone. Without other players running around, I can pick flowers and hunt animals without some rear end in a top hat shooting me for.... what is it, ten points? I plan to stop at the first Level 50 though. Multiple runthroughs are a bit much to ask. Anyway, the other night I was in a public session, staked out on the roof of the Silent Stead shack waiting for cougars (you can do this for points with the second DLC pack, which makes it worthwhile for me). Another player rode up and immediately started shooting at me. I didn't shoot back; I just dodged him by ducking behind the roof's peak. I started to wonder if the cougars swarming around the shack would deter him. Eventually he ran for the shack and got inside. I maintained my position on the roof, right above him. Listening to this guy fend off cougars through the shack's tiny windows were the most entertaining five minutes I've had in this game. I heard him gradually deplete his ammunition and switch to successively shittier weapons. Finally he was slashing at the cougars with a knife, from the porch. Another player rode up to see what the commotion was. He had to shoot a couple of cougars to get close enough to see. At that point, the player who had attacked me ran out of the shack and shot him (with a revolver? I'm not sure what he had left at that point). The new guy died but managed to wound the other player. As he limped away, the last of the ten cougars in the area mauled him. I shot that last cougar. The game then informed me that I had completed the area for 88 points, principally for watching a griefer get whittled down by the very animals I was there to hunt. That was fun.

Right, where no one can appreciate it and it'll get killed and left to rot by a predator. Rolleyes. Assuming that cat didnt' eat him, he's probably going to eat the heck out of that deer, and then mount the head in a cool place so that he can be proud of it. There's nothing wrong with hunting.

There's so many things wrong with this post I don't even know where to start. So I'll just say gently caress BEARS!  In one night I was attacked by at least 12 bears. Then I got to the next level of the hunting achievement and suddenly they all loving disappear. What the gently caress.

SO long as they use a bow or black powder, like a real man, then I agree. I wish there was a bow in this game, but I'll have to settle for hunting with tomahawks.

Nah that thing could have lived for a few more years, running around jumping over fences, having sex with lady deers and stabbing poo poo with its prongs. In fact, it probably would have.

Either this is a completely non-canon thing or you play as Jack and Rockstar are showing John in the screenshots not to spoil the story. Edit: Wait, they show John interacting with Bonnie McFarlane in the trailer so maybe it is the former.

Well it's either just a nightmare, as the name of the pack indicates, or non-canon like a Simpson's Halloween episode.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that a huge zombie outbreak in the otherwise realistic and gritty world of Red Dead Redemption is 100% non-canonical and just for funsies.

I have no clue how anyone could think this was gonna be a canon chapter. I hope it's set up like the Episodes from Liberty City So that you choose between playing vanilla Red Dead and Undead Nightmare at the main menu. I still like to dick around in the game and I don't want the living dead bothering me.

Star War Sex Parrot posted:Basically every episode of the The Simpsons is non-canon. It's a sandbox for writers to do whatever the hell they want with established characters with little to no repercussions on the series as a whole. Very few moments in Simpsons history have ever been called back on. I would argue that while specific events aren't important (although I remember Mr. Burns always being afraid of Maggie after Who Shot Mr. Burns), character traits are established and carry on, such as Lisa being a vegetarian and all.
