There's a new official trailer coming out tomorrow at Noon. Perhaps it'll have a release date attached? That'd be my guess.

I believe someone leaked a release date of Oct 26th last week. Which makes sense. It's the Tues. before Halloween.

It clearly says "total", goofball. So have won a cumulative amount.

The easiest way to win at poker is to wear the Elegant Suit so you can cheat. Get the hang of cheating to manage high card hands. Fold anything you're not comfortable with, and play effective hands. If you're not so hot on your poker skills, just familiarize yourself (the googles) with what winning hands look like, and work with those. Fold anything you're not comfortable with, and play your strong hands. It's pretty foolproof, even if you're just an average player, like myself. When it gets down to 1-2 opponents, call/check the first couple turns to feel them out. At that point, they play very conservatively and will fold easily if you raise or bet too aggressively. The game slows down a bunch at that point, because the pot won't get too big unless the opponents have basically a surefire hand, so it'll be a lot of back and forth small pot wins until someone busts.

Had a lot of fun gooning out with you guys and getting some posse points and trophies. Too bad I couldn't tell you in game. I even have the Dualshock PS3 keyboard but fat lotta good it does in a game that doesn't have a text chat or even gestures.

If you are good at the tapping of the thumbs, you can rake in $100 at a time from Five Finger Filet. Each game lasts about two minutes, so you can rake in some admirable dollaz in about an hour.

Best way to jack up your winnings: get into the high stakes poker at Blackwater. Due to a flaw I managed to score $800 in one round. Everybody kept bidding up and up until I won the hand and about eight grand. After that I kept at a few poker hands and Liar's Dice.

Remember Horseshoes, Five Finger Fillet, and Arm Wrestling counts. Just get that total stat up to $1000 and you're gold.

As for me, I finally got the Savvy Merchant suit. So I went about to Blackwater to do a save. On the way, I killed a snake by the road. I went, saved, and was on my way out where I find another snake. Killed, skinned..and that was it for me. After that, I had to hunt cougar.

Wreck of the Serendipity. I went there just to hunt and pass the time, and some random incident spawned (guy wanting help for his wife). We start to go up the hill and....COUGAR! Kills the guy, his horse, and my horse. I get up when it's circling and deadeye with dynamite.

Jesus Christ. Scarf's hellish relative vanishes with a loud bang. I skin my horse, the guy's horse, and search the guy. Happy that I managed to get Expert Hunter without putting foot in Tall Trees and I use a deed, get a new horse, and walk to the main road--

REVENGE COUGAR!

Mauls me once, goes to circle. Nine LeMat rounds split its head in two, sending it to hell. Skin it, get my horse, and go back to Blackwater (because I wanna). I get the suit, I save, and I go to Tall Trees.

SIX BEARS LATER. (coming at me in twos) The Evans Repeater shows them who is really master of the world. I skin them, save, and find that the Expert Hunter suit is awesome. Not only does it give you double what you hunt and skin, it makes you look like a really cheesy COBRA solder when you have the bandana on.

Best. Game. Ever. Now when I play I'm just going to hunt animals so I can save up in-game coin for Undead Nightmare. Good times.

The Savvy Merchant I thought was going to look stupid, but it's really awesome.

Expert Hunter, however, looks loving radical. It could have been goofy, but it works on a very good level. That said, I'm really hoping Rockstar breaks down and gives us a Deadly Assassin/Solomon's Fally DLC sooner or later. It would be nice.

GODDAMNIT.

I'd been replaying the game as the dirtiest down low desperado I possibly can. I've been slow going on the campaign because there's so much other awesome stuff to do in this game (robbing banks and the ensuing shootouts are :clint: as gently caress) - By the time I started working with Seth, I amassed a loving $18,000 bounty, and was loving the desperado life. Get woken up in the middle of the night by packs of mounted bounty hunters with dogs. Ambushed out in the wild by US Marshals while I'm hunting. Dramatic bank robberies and getting completely surrounded by dozens of po-po while I make a stand that even Leonidas could appreciate. I was smug as gently caress.

...And then Seth makes me use a pardon letter to finish a mission.

Hard earned $18,000 bounty, gone because they wanted to teach the player how to use a pardon letter. I still can't believe it. My criminal streak was loving incredible until that point - over 350 law enforcement killed, dozens of kidnappings, horse-jackings, safes cracked, robberies, executions, animal slaughter, terrorizing townsfolk, extensive vandalism, train-borne shootouts, chicken kicking, bar room massacres... AHHHH :(

All of this outfit talk has me wondering; can you unlock the US Marshal outfit early? I mean I know you have to gain access to all of the US gang hideouts, but unless I'm forgetting something you should have seen them all by the time you gain access to Mexico, right? It's just a shame to have to wait so long for some of the best outfits in the game...too bad there isn't a New Game + that lets you use what you want to.

EDIT: ^^^^^ Nope, despite being able to meet the requirements of the outfit you don't actually "discover" it until after the end of the game.

I've already finished the game and 'found it along with a few rabbits just to the east of McFarlane's Ranch. It came out of nowhere and I just pegged it. Haven't seen one since.

Interesting fact: I got the Manifest Destiny achievement a while ago, and today I saw my first buffalo in a while! I shot it, but it's only because an NPC was going to kill it. Apparently this Hunting DLC might bring back Buffalo to hunt as well.

From behind.

This is literally what bear hunting is like about every time there is a 10 second pause in the chaos.

I wish there was some jungle or wooded area where cougars spawned as frequently as bears do in Tall Trees.

No poo poo. Last night's six bear adventure was case in point.

I'm riding along and I meet up with some trapper who wants a challenge. I run away, get on my horse, and look to my right. Two bears, side by side, coming down at me. Deadeye plus Evans Repeater plus ten shots total to their heads. Down they go.

I see another bear off in the distance. Gun it down. Skin all three. Hear a roar.

Another loving bear behind me. Deadeye, Evans Repeater, three shots. Down it goes.

Then as I'm looking around two more intrude and start making roaring noises. Execute, call horse, run like hell to Marzanita Post. A lot of fun, but bears. Goddamn bears.

Edit: a good cougar spawn is by the mountains to the east or south of Rathskeller Fork around midday. I got ambushed by about ten of those sneaky bastards.

BiscuitErsedRenton posted:

Well, I'm still poking around with it, but I know for a fact that you can rob Armadillo's bank silly, and it's always fun. Doing it in the daytime through the front door with a sawed-off shotgun and bandit mask is always exciting, especially fighting off all the lawmen that try to thwart your plans. Sometimes it's easy pickins with the clerk being scared shitless with his hands in the air... But other times old Johnny Law security actually shows up for his shift behind the desk, and finds himself at his moment of truth on the business end of Marston's 8g doublebarrel. Some days, you just shoulda stayed in bed.

It's also fun to do it at night when the bank's closed. You take cover by a window and pull out your gun. Trigger it, and you'll bash the glass out with an elbow, exercising some good old fashioned B&E like a true miscreant. From there (provided nobody was alerted to your less-than-graceful entry), it's smooth sailing. Line them pockets, boys!
