Man, these mexicans speak terrible spanish. Like, seriously bad spanish. It's actually kind of insulting.
When do I get access to my Explosive Rifle? I figure the GOTY edition had all the DLC and I keep seeing Explosive Ammo for sale but no rifle.

Pretty sure the rifle is on sale in Blackwater, but maybe it's in an earlier town as well, that's just where I hung out playing poker until I could afford the thing. If you want to try it out earlier, you get it really early in a quest in Undead Nightmare.

It's $10,000 in Blackwater, $5000 if you have some amount of honor (can't remember which level) and $2500 with the savvy merchant outfit. Tough to afford in any case if you're playing hardcore mode.

poo poo, for real? I've been saving money like crazy and been doing every single Stranger mission and oddjob and I've barely passed the $1000 line. I've already "paid" for that bit of DLC, just give it to me :mad:

Just get the expert hunter outfit ASAP and head to Tall Trees, then go sell everything in Mexico with the merchant outfit. Also, sell off the hidden gold bars and legendary animal parts (skin them with the hunter outfit for double parts on a few of them.) You can also double your on-hand amount of cash by purposely losing over and over to the guy shooting vultures, then winning on your last bet.

In normal mode I always had tons of cash but hardcore is tough and gives a much better sense of accomplishment.

e: The lowest you can get the War Horse deed for is $5000.

Weird, when I loaded up my old save from when I borrowed the basic game after getting the GOTY edition, I automatically had the War Horse deed in my inventory, and when I started a new game I got the War Horse instead of the Kentucky Saddler in the early mission with Bonnie.

Yeah, if you have the War Horse DLC, the deed should be in your inventory from the start of the game. I haven't seen any shops selling it, although I haven't really looked too closely either. (Edit: Ah, so there's an actual, separate "Hardcore Mode" in the GOTY edition. Didn't realize that until now :downs:) I still get the Kentucky Saddler from that Bonnie mission, though, maybe it works differently in the GOTY edition? I just have the regular edition and the DLC.

I wish they'd make the tomahawk and the explosive rifle available as separate DLC so I could finally try those out. I'm not too interested in multiplayer, so buying the Legends & Killers and Liars & Cheats packs for 800 MSP apiece really wouldn't be worth it just for a couple of new weapons.

One of the quickest ways to get money, I found, is:

- Go north
- Kill north specific animals (the snowier the area, the better)
- After purging the planet of said species, go to Mexico
- Sell dead northern animals

I was trying out the drunkenness cheat, stumbling around Escalera when some guy challenged me to a duel. Of course I accepted, and when I got into position I noticed that Marston was facing to the side and away from the guy. This made the aiming all wonky and I just barely managed to win the duel (Marston somehow managing to hit him despite shooting in the completely wrong direction), after which I stumbled forward, tripped on the guy's corpse and faceplanted right next to him.

Drunk dueling is the best dueling. :clint::respek::cheers:

e: goddammit where is my Obscuridad del Santo Andres, I'm almost done with Mexico and I still haven't seen any sign of the drat thing.

There are a whole bunch of multiplayer achievements that are better off just cheesing with a friend. You can even do most of them in a private freeroam with just you and a buddy. Start a game of dice and just lose to each other so you both get it. Yeah it's silly, but eh achievements. I'm just shy of 1400 and I know I'll never get some of the rest, despite being so drat close.

The achievement for winning a hand of poker on the last card when you were losing previously is horrifically random. I was trying to boost that one with a friend, who needed it also, and I got it on the first hand by sheer luck, but she couldn't get it in over an hour of play (broken up into several sessions). Even knowing how to play poker, and folding when you know which games don't even have a chance of it happening, it's still entirely luck based which is bullshit for an achievement.

I got that one completely by chance playing against a bunch of Brits late at night that had just installed it since it's free for them on PSN+. When the game finished I hadn't even realized I had swept the table. Felt good.

Beavers and bears are worth a lot in Mexico too.

I really wish this game had a PC port, each time I get a hankerin' I boot up my 360 and get fed up with the controls in 15 minutes :qq:
e: I guess my complain with the controls stems from my not being able to use a controller after switching to the PC for so long. I really like the way the game itself handles, it's just difficult for me to give up a mouse.

The only gripe I've ever ever had with RDR controls was trying to get into a thin-rear end doorway while jogging/running, and constantly curving past it a couple of times. But other than that, it's amazingly responsive and with few issues for a Rockstar game, which says a whole drat lot.

Also, after playing a week straight of Borderlands 2, RDR looks amazingly realistic. I was seriously jarred when I jumped into multiplayer for a second the other day. :staredog:

I'm replaying the game and this happened twice yesterday and always at the worst times. Sometimes I'll hit the wrong button to zoom in/out on the minimap and hit the horse whistle button. Sometimes the horse bucks me for no apparent reason and Marston just runs in one direction. No way to stop him, tried smashing all buttons, pausing, resuming. Nothing. He just runs and runs and runs. It pisses me off because I had about 50 wolves stacked up and the remaining ones gnawed on my face since I couldn't defend myself.

I've only gotten the running bug once but I'd frequently pick an herb/skin an animal and be totally unable to move after the animation finished. Really frustrating, especially if you have to reload and lose a lot of unsaved progress.

If you have the GotY edition, it can be hard to find other players for some of the expansion content (I have only been able to find a Stronghold game once), and at some times the co-op missions can be hard to find players for, but there's still a pretty good number of players.

I was reminded today of my very favorite freeroam activity - glitch hunters. When people started figuring out how to glitch underground in the Mexican palace (and later a house in Chuperosa), I loved to try to kill them with dynamite, often in a kamikaze run. They'd cuss up a storm at me and I'd race them to their glitch spot and defend it alone as long as I could.

When I finished the game I was so peeved that John was shot to poo poo that I went on a murderous rampage as Jack and refused to acknowledge how immoral my actions were. But as Jack it felt so natural and I can't help but think that Rockstar planned it that way.

Go into his store and try to rob it, and when he starts shooting haul rear end outside. If he clips another npc, they will start to return fire (as will the sheriff, etc) and it's ongoing since he's pretty much invulnerable.

Started finally playing this with a few friends and we had to retreat to friendly free roam, because griefers using exploits to be invisible/invincible just kept shooting us as soon as we spawn. They'd appear to be off in the distance or over the mountains according to the mini map, but I'd get shot as if they're right in front of me. Has anyone else had such an experience?

Once we got into friendly free roam, things got fun. Triple XP and we found a stage coach we could all ride in, mission to mission. It all made for a good time. I just wish the lasso were in multi player, and the train.

I hadn't played multi player or zombies because I got this game while deployed, so once I finished the story I put it away.
