Well gently caress, just had my first crash in 25 hours of playing this game, right after the Mexico mission where you're betrayed by the army and Reyes saves you. And I mean right after, the cutscene ended with Marston walking away and voila - black screen and nothing.

Had a funtastic bug yesterday. I've been all through Mexico and just entered Blackwater, but I still hadn't picked up the courage to knife two cougars. Yesterday evening I decided to finally just man up and do it. So I did. It wasn't THAT hard, after all, although I did die once during the quest (why the gently caress do those bastards always come in duos? gently caress). I unlocked the next hunting challenge, the one with 5 raccoons, foxes and skunks or whatever. Luckily, Rio Bravo where I was huntin' happened to be just teeming with those aforementioned skunks! Of course I immediately start blasting those furry little cuties to hell so I could skin 'em. Except their corpses just... disappear. Literally the second the skunk's ragdoll stops jigglin', the creature disappears. This happened to each and every one of the 20+ skunks I shot. None of the other animals were affected. The hilarity/weirdness of the bugs in this game almost rival those in Dwarf Fortress

Bloody Hedgehog posted:Heh, they seemed to realize this as the story goes on, as you start to encounter more missions where they don't talk during the ride and it just gives you the option to skip to your destination. You can skip any and all of those conversations during the game, you don't have to listen to any of them. I've personally loved the chatter and have only skipped the rides where they don't talk anything. Also there seems to be quite a lot stuff they recorded, because during one West Dickens mission I somehow accidentally failed the mission right before the ride ended so that I had to replay it, and they actually had a completely different conversation from the first one! Neat. I also love the amount of minuscule little touches in this game. For example, has anyone else noticed that if your character is currently speaking (e.g. Marston during those aforementioned rides, your character in multiplayer while taunting), it's not possible to whistle for your horse? Of course it's only natural, but I wouldn't have thought they'd pay attention to something seriously unremarkable as that. Although they could've used that time for ironing out some bugs but oh well \/\/\/\/ They get better in my opinion, I don't recall being as disappointed with a Stranger mission in this game as with that one. a cyborg mug fucked around with this message at 13:06 on May 31, 2010 |

Deutsch Nozzle posted:I keep shooting these cougars in the leg but it never cripples them and they just run off into the plains and disappear. That or the shots I use to cripple somehow magically do more damage than normal and kill the cougar outright. In addition to the other great suggestions, if you're still having a hard time you could always just shoot the first cougar and knife the other without fear of the first one killing you. Cougars tend to travel in duos extremely often.

I mean this is loving poo poo, the main saloon itself is pretty easy because you can just use throwing stars from the balcony, but the poker room is loving impossible because there's always someone looking in your direction.

So (late game spoilers) Dutch is dead and I'm a farmer now. I decided to go to Blackwater and see if there was anything to throw a loving knife at in the building where you get the "R" missions. I opened the door, and it's turned into a time vortex. There always was something fishy about the government

ENDGAME SPOILERS who actually had the heart to do something else than go home after killing Dutch? I at first had intended to hunt some elk before ending the mission, but as soon as that loving song started playing and I got the prompt "Go see your family" I just couldn't do it. I just had to finally give John his wife and kid back  I think that was one of the most emotional moments in the whole game. Even John's death wasn't that devastating for me, probably because reading this thread on my phone (no spoiler tags) spoiled me. gently caress. This game guys. The last time I was as torn by a game was in Metal Gear Solid 4 the whole end sequence starting from when Snake struggles through that loving infernal microwave room with clips of his friends nearly dying. a cyborg mug fucked around with this message at 10:04 on Jun 6, 2010 |

Protip posted:I just got to this same point in the game as well. I'm wondering if this has to do with why people recommended making a backup save right around the time you first reach Blackwater? Is the reason just so you always have the option to start playing late in the game as John? Are there some things you can't do as Jack? Near as I could tell everything carried over. Maybe I have to get the "real" ending to see why the backup save might be important. I'm just worried I'll miss out on something accidentally. It's only because most people don't like playing as Jack, because he's so different from his awesome father and his voice acting isn't nearly as good as John's. The game continues exactly like it did before, but you just play as Jack.

Guys, I found something really weird. Try shooting a random guy (only tried this in SP) in the back with a rifle/repeater/sniper rifle/pistol. Target just a bit above where his belt is. Watch as the guy scrambles back up. Shoot again. Watch him squirm in pain but get up. Shoot again. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Seriously, for some reason the NPCs in the game seem to have this invincible spot in their backs juuust around the waistline. I tried this with at least ten or so characters, none of which would die however many holes I blasted into their lower back. Not even a full clip from the Evans or several Buffalo or Carcano rifle rounds killed them, but it did seem to take their HP down to 1 though, since a shot pretty much anywhere else was a guaranteed kill. Also a knife or a shotgun shot to the back killed them, the shotgun probably because of the spread. Could someone try this, I want to know if this is only my game? The bugs in this game

Deutsch Nozzle posted:I think that's maybe because their health is regenerating between the time you shoot them, and they get back up? NPCs have regenerating health as well. Try double tapping the "invincible spot." I fooled around a bit with this more, and even with regenerating NPCs, I still say this is a miracle spot. If you shoot a guy in the leg or the arm, they'll be crippled, and if you shoot that limb again after waiting a bit they'll most likely just die. Shooting near the chest without the guy dying and then shooting the same spot again after he's gotten up killed them too. Not so with the lower back. You can shoot the guy however many times, and they'll always get back up if you get just the right place above the belt. It was really tricky to get more than one Dead Eye shot to land in the exact same place, but I finally managed it just now and not even three high-powered pistol bullets in the back with Dead Eye (after at least 10 Buffalo rifle shots, five Carcano rounds and several pistol shots) killed the guy. Every single bullet mentioned went in the same hole. Feeling a bit sadistic here

You might want to save whatever flowers you've gathered thus far, especially red sage, also twenty or so feathers (of any bird), and if for some reason you've already found and hunted some beavers, don't sell their furs either yet. e;f;b

Makrond posted:^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ Yeah, the entirety of Mexico is pretty much the weakest part of the game. It's too long, John has very little incentive to do any of the work he does (as he repeatedly shows in his dialogue), and all the characters are genuinely unlikeable except for Ricketts, even the revolution people. Sure it's great to have a huge, different-looking part of the world open for shenanigans, but the story part itself in there is just agonizing. The missions are generally fun and varied, though. We could very well crib the name of the next thread from the Left 4 Dead one; "Oh my god, I hate Mexico so much" e: Also so as not to seem so negative, man I love free roam when it clicks together. Couple of days ago I was just dicking around, doing Solomon's Folly when suddenly a random guy enters the session and comes to help me. After the hideout is cleared, we chat a little bit and it appears he's also Finnish! We posse up, he invites a friend of his, we go clear more hideouts and have a shitload of fun. At some point we come across a German guy trotting along the road with the lovely level two horse, invite him to our posse and I give him my own horse so he can keep up  Then we ended it all in an awesome free-for-all match in Armadillo. a cyborg mug fucked around with this message at 11:33 on Jun 10, 2010 |

Let me tell all of you who are happily nowhere near the end: Do some bounty missions once in a while between missions. It's good for you. It's also loving boring waiting for more bounties to pop up, and I still have like eight to go. Ugh. Why can't someone put those posters up while you're away from town? I mean, I can see what Rockstar is going for there, the whole *sheriff puts up wanted poster* *worn out cowboy rips poster from wall, squints at the windy desert showing no emotion* thing or whatever, but sometimes it takes ages for one to appear.

Tewratomeh posted:Bounties are a pretty nice alternative to the dumb minigames Rockstar likes to shove into all their games these days as filler and time-killers. At least most of the minigames in RDR are, you know, games that actually translate well into videogame form. Plus if you get tired of bounties there's always hunting to fall back on. And the silent movies are pretty amusing, if a little overdone ("My heavens, what foul evil hath bedeviled my betrothed?"). What I meant was that if you're aiming for 100%, it's pretty agonizing when the only thing you have left is ten bounties and you have to stand around waiting for them. Doing bounty missions is fun, waiting for a poster to be put up isn't. The movies are great. I'm hoping for more movies with new patches, since there seems to be only two...

I guess you can't even ride or break any other horse for 20 missions. I guess I'll have to wait until another playthrough?

Guys, has anyone had problems with the (multiplayer) Sharpshooter II Rank 3 challenge not registering? I've one-shotted like six bears in the face, and I just can't seem to get the challenge. First I thought it could've been because I had the Master Hunter challenge with five bears active at the same time, but the Sharpshooter challenge still won't register now that I've beaten the Hunter one. Also bears in multiplayer are so loving disappointing. Why the hell are they so ridiculously weak? I mean seriously, one slash with the knife to the side or whatever = instant kill.

(THESE ARE SUPER END GAME SPOILERS GUYS) Yeah. The reunion itself was a bit flat, mostly because we'd never seen John's family before and couldn't relate to them in any way. It was actually way more emotional just before that for me when the final mission with Dutch ended and John finally got to go home, I almost broke at that point (the song that started playing didn't help at all). John I already knew and loved the bastard, and him getting to go see his family was like releasing a long tortured man free. I couldn't even stop to hunt some bears and elk, as I had planned to do after the mission. John had to get home.

It seems a lot of the sharpshooter challenges are glitched, though, the next one tasks you with shooting a hat off of someone while "riding a mount". I shot at least half a dozen hats off of people's heads while riding a horse, stationary and with different speeds, but the challenge didn't register before it randomly just... did. I did nothing different from before.

I "played" some multiplayer and uhh what the gently caress. Please, people, tell me if your game is behaving normally after downloading the DLC, because I just had the freakiest drat session. I couldn't see the random person I possied up with but he showed up on the radar, and he couldn't see me either. We went to check out Solomon's Folly... and it was deserted. We entered, action music started playing, no enemies popped up and then we just instantly won and got 400 XP for it. Then the guy blew us both up with dynamite, and he ended up permanently stuck in the loading screen that comes up before respawning. There were also at least like eight other guys on the server, but you couldn't see half of them on the map and Pre-patch madness or something?

Alright, can anyone explain this?

I switched back to my usual European PSN, and nothing. Does this basically mean that if I have an NTSC version of the game I'll need to have a US PSN in order to play DLC stuff?

I think he just wanted to have his final piece of normal, peaceful life with his wife and son, like the calm just before a storm.
