I'm nearing the end of the game. I'm doing the missions at Marston's Ranch and all of them seem to involve herding loving cattle. I haven't played it in a while because I got Uncharted. I need motivation to finish it - do things get more exciting?

Yeah, I lost a lot of motivation to keep on playing especially since you'd reached what you'd think was the game's climax, but it's worth it.

AUGH my loving 360 just shut down and gave me four red lights about an hour after I decided to do another playthrough of the main game. gently caress. poo poo. It's a second generation so it's not unexpected but dammit that doesn't make it hurt less. These things still cost 300 loving bucks.

Always, always, always call customer support before you buy a new one. If they give you the run around just demand to talk to a manager (sometimes takes a bit until they agree) and they'll usually give you a deal.

It's four and I already tried removing and reataching the AV cable. No good. Thing just went straight out on me in the middle of a game so I'm pretty sure the cable itself is good.

Try buying a replacement cable before you do anything rash. Also, bitch at customer support forever and ever.

Are any of the metatags for 360 still reasonably active? I could never really get into the multiplayer due to lovely NAT settings, but with a new ISP and setup I can actually join games now... There's something about this game where I keep finding myself coming back to it at least a few days every month, even after getting the 100% achievement.

I alone can see through the media bias.

I'm also stupid on a scale that can only be measured in Reddits.

I'm going to borrow a friend's cable and see if it helps. drat I hope that's it. Apparently the whole connection port can overheat just like the GPU though, and the ticky tack or whatever holds the poo poo together melts and fucks everything up. I'm really hoping it's just the cable. I'm so far out of warranty that they'll likely laugh me off the phone if I have to call in to support.

Anyway, thanks for the advice guys.

I'm sure everyone else here knows a lot more about it than I do, but I went through the RRoD circus a few years ago and found out it was my power supply that had died, not the xbox itself. So you might try borrowing your friend's PS too, while you're testing the AV cable.

FYI guys all of the DLC content from the preorder bonuses will finally be made available this April. You'll finally be able to spend your Moon Dollars (TM) on the Assassin Outfit, Golden Guns, and the War Horse!

The info was posted on Rockstar's Facebook page this morning.

We got some serious shit to discuss.

A full year after the game's come out, meaning most people have 100%'ed the game several times over and have little desire to play the singleplayer again.

Bravo, Rockstar.

Yeah. You can't do anything special with either the gold or legendary animal parts, which is kinda sad. I think there's nine gold bars in total, each hidden treasure chest will give you a bar and a map for the next one.

Motherfucker, I've ridden all over Mexico to try to find this goddamned treasure and I can't. It's the level uh, five one? All I see on the map is a rock formation that looks about two or three Marstons high. Anyone have any tips? Preferably not an exact location, but yeah, I love the treasure hunting though. Do the DLC packs add any new maps?

It kind of saddens me that people give up on finding the treasure for themselves and resort to this. It was one of my favorite parts of the game, and like all good things I wish I could relive it for the first time.

There need to be more games where you can find treasure.

Way to read, jackass.


As for your hint: All the treasures are near something that is labeled on the map, usually in small print... look around the Mexico map for a labeled landmark, and that might give you a clue about where to look. It's intentionally done this way because the whole point of Treasure maps was that they would direct you where to go based on landmarks.

Has anyone had any experiences with Uriah Tollets disappearing? I accidentally opened a drawer behind him, got chased by the Mexican law, and now he's not in the house anymore. My journal says that I need to hunt him down and kill him, and the purple ? is still in that building in Chuparosa. He's not there. Any suggestions?

It was one of the biggest games of the last year, was critically acclaimed and sold a poo poo load of copies, of course it's still alive.


Seriously, this is one of the most annoying questions in the Games forums and it is constant.
