Oh my God the thread title. Every time I read it all I hear in my head is "I'm Herbert Moooooooooooooooooooon!" I still haven't unlocked Mexico yet on this playthrough and I've only got one ambient challenge left that I can complete as far as I can remember. I've got to do the Hunting Level 5 challenge and for some reason it's a lot harder this time than I remember it being. Fuuuuuck. I keep shooting the cougar bastards then switching over to the knife, but I either get smoked or the little fuckers run away and disappear into the horizon. It's so unfair!

nobueno posted:Someone mentioned in a free roam that there is an achievement for having a $1000 dollar bounty on your head and staying alive for 10 minutes? Confirm/Deny? You need to become a public enemy and survive for 10 minutes, then escape the wanted level. It's very easy to do at El Presidio. It's called Most Wanted. Did it earlier in about 20 minutes with some goons (or was it yesterday?) holding the fort.

Yeah, when I heard him shout "It's Herbert Moooooooooon" for the first time I assumed at first that Herbert Moon was some famous bandit or something and that he was the one who had robbed him (the shopkeeper, that is). Then he continued with "I'm Herbert Moon! I've just been robbed!" and I was just like "Ohhh. Gotcha. You're gonna be like that ain'tcha. Okey dokey." Such an interesting but ultimately repetitive encounter. I've just started shooting the bandit instead of lassoing him. I've got more important poo poo to do than guard the valuables of some incompetent anti-Semitic shopkeeper who, despite my returning his money near on a hundred times now, has yet to give me anything better than a 50% discount.

Mr. Heliotrope posted:When you fist fight with people, a prompt to tackle them may come up. It shows up in the bottom right part of the screen. You usually have to punch them several times for it to show up, and the move lets you wail on them some more. If I can be even more specific to help with this, the prompt for the ground tackle will appear after you successfully chain three punches. Score three hits without whiffing and punching the air and you'll get the press Y/Triangle for Ground Tackle prompt and you'll be able to tackle them. Then just hammer the punch button to enjoy the sight of Marston honorably beating the gently caress out of a man while he's down. It's one of my new favorite "I'm John Wayne!" habits.

coyo7e posted:It's creepy that someone with the name coyote, might know a little something about the animal or have bookmarks to image and sound and video of them? The sounds that coyotes make creep me out. When I was a kid, during the summer, my parents would leave my bedroom window open at night and there was a den of them in the woods near our house, so I had to listen to them howling all night. To this day just the sound of them or mention of them creeps me out.

In the Landon Ricketts mission 'Lucky in Love,' which serves as the tutorial mission for duels (whose loving idea was it to put this halfway through the game?), do I have to kill Muller in the duel? I've been through more than twenty duels already in the game, all of which I won through disarm - I'm trying to play as a John Wayne version of Marston who, while willing to get some killing done to get the job finished, isn't a sociopathic mass murderer - and I'm not exactly thrilled at the thought of being forced by a mission to headshot some poor bastard when I'm more than capable of outgunning him to the degree of shooting his gun out of his hand and making him live the rest of his life in shame instead of turning him into a martyr. I keep getting smoked because, unlike the typical duels I've been in, I can't just target his arm and then shoot. It wants me to loving rape him about the face, neck, and head and I just haven't got any interest in doing so if I don't have to.

liquidypoo posted:Well that might be my problem. Before I jump to conclusions about console differences though, I should probably test it out again. I was trying it in single player, that might have prevented it from working correctly. It only works in Multiplayer from what I've experienced. I find that triggering the glitch is inconsistent at times, but I can confirm that aiming increases the altitude that you'll reach (longer you hold the aim button, the higher you'll climb). I tend to attach to the logs, go all the way to the right, and then just repeatedly tap the attach to cover in differing frequencies until I launch.

It's even better when you're being attacked by one of those bandito "hide behind the stagecoach" groups and you hop off your horse, take a few shots at the little fellas, then decide "eh, gently caress this and gently caress these guys" and whip out the dynamite, hurl it, and then watch in horror as your horse, driven to panic by all the gun fire and running around like wild, runs into the blast radius of your dynamite and is turned into a ragdoll along with the banditos. Rest in peace, Blanco Nino. Your death was hilariously stupid and senseless. My next horse will be named in your honor.

Just finally got the Legend of the West outfit. Turns out trying to do the final sharpshooter mission with the Evans Repeater was a pretty lovely idea. Switched to the Mauser and it was a breeze. If anyone's having trouble doing that one, I strongly advise using the Mauser. It was almost laughably easier once I made the swap.

The "Strike it Rich!" Challenge still hasn't been unlocked, right? According to their site it's "coming in late May" but I still haven't been able to start it in-game. Also, will some of the Social Challenges eventually expire and you won't be able to complete them anymore? Because if so I am definitely making those the first thing I do the next time I play. Beastmaster looks like the kind of Cheat that is going to be awesome for griefing the NPCs. The "hey mister, come sit a spell" campsite random encounter is going to be a hell of a lot of fun when I run off and grab a couple of my cougar "friends" and come back to tell juicy stories to my new cowboy acquaintances. Gee. I sure hope my friends can get along...

You're going to get it with "Vulcans never bluff.  " underneath it, I hope, right?Finally got Unnatural Selection for killing one of every species of animal or whatever it was for. Despite the description, it sure seems like it leaves out a lot of animals. I found that a fair majority of the animals I had slaughtered in game didn't even count toward the achievement. Though I also learned, in the process, that I have killed more than 400 deer and have played for over 200 hours despite only being about 76% of the way through the game. I guess I sure do love my cowboy game...

Amused Frog posted:Forget cougars. Bears are the real menace in this game. My new hobby lately has been going into cougar-infested areas and waiting for them to attack me and, while they're mid-air during their attack/lunge, I Dead-Eye spam them with the auto-shotgun. They absolutely soar across the map afterwards. Some have carried at least 50-75 yards. Bears? They eat my shotgun shells like they're the appetizer for the man-dinner they're about to turn me into. And if I do happen to get lucky and kill them? Another loving bear slams into me from the side, stunlocks me, and then murders me. Clever girl...

Well, it took me forever, but I finally got "Redeemed." It's glitched all to hell and gone as far as Social Club is concerned. The site showed me as needing Plata Grande to get my last .1% toward 100, but in the end I did all the others as they popped up and then it gave me Ojo del Diablo instead of Plata Grande. I was really concerned, but decided to go with it, and sure enough when I brought the bounty in I got the Achievement. Jesus was that fun. Now I've gotta get the two new outfits. I can't believe I took a break from this game. Hey Beeb, let's posse up some time. I need to get gold on all of the Advanced Co-Op missions, as well as the achievement for finishing a mission with just 2 people.

For the mostpart, new weapons are acquired for completing the gang hideouts in each territory. For example, completing Twin Rocks in New Austin gives you the Volcanic Pistol. If you run through all of the gang hideouts in a territory fairly early on, you'll get all but the Unique weapons in the game fairly easily. e: derp derp, Twin Rocks is in New Austin, not West Elizabeth, derp derp That Awful Nick fucked around with this message at 18:32 on Nov 1, 2010 |

Kaji posted:Just finished the bigfoot quest on Undead Nightmare, feel like a huge jerk. It's okay because no one really likes bigfoots(feet?) anyway. Just picked this game up again after playing it to death for like the first month it was out. It's still my absolute favorite game of all time. My housemate just bought it so we sit next to each other on the couch and just play the poo poo out of the multiplayer. I love playing cowboys so much! The 3x XP thing yesterday was nice but it should probably have lasted a little longer. I got home from the office in time to play Warthington Range for like 45 minutes and level up a little, but not nearly as much as I would have liked to. vvv Removed it, but spoiler tags are only allowed to be used for spoilers now anyway, so what did you expect?

All I do in this game anymore is hunt. Put on my X41's, turn up the volume, and wander around the woods looking for deer and other animals to shoot. It's just so relaxing. Even in multiplayer free roam, it's fun to just wander around with my roommate and try to find good places to hunt. Video games are for relaxing, my friends.
