Rei_ posted:So I was up north finally and I saw this AMAZING black horse just outracing the herd so I finally managed to grab it and break it in.. I get off my new horse to do a mission but I accidentally whistle to call my old horse...with whom I've been playing most of the game. So I'm in new, awesome horse when the old horse shows up all like.. Following me around sadly now... Stupid game making me feel bad for my mode of transportation. American Standardbred. You can now buy a contract for one, since you've broken one in. Personally I think I still prefer the Hungarian Halfbreed simply because while it's not as fast as the American and not as Agile as the Kentucky, it can take a goddamn beating. I've jumped that thing off cliffs that would have made the Kentucky basically explode, and she takes it in stride and just keeps going like it's nothing. I will say that the Standardbred looks loving AMAZING in the rain... first time I rode into West Elizabeth, I was riding across Dillon Crossing to Blackwater and it was a stormy dusk. I'm passing the buffalo and looking out across the plains and I see this pack of wild horses just flying across the plain in a group, with this one black one darting in and out of the group, basically trotting circles around them. Had to have it. Chased her for a solid mile, finally getting her to hold steady long enough for me to jump on and break her in... then I trot her to Blackwater and marvel at the detail of teh rain glistening on her black fur. This game.

FOR ALL YOU RETARDED TREASURE HUNTERS: (add this to the OP?)
If you still can't figure out the treasure hunting after all of that, sorry, you're just an idiot. I can't think of any way to spell it out clearer.

I could have just been imagining it or getting it confused with something else, there's just so much stuff in this game, it's all bleeding together into one single nidus of AWESOME.

Son of a bitch, I just hit my first bug. Finally got to Blackwater and did the first mission where you get the High Powered Pistol, then went and saved. Reloaded today and I lost the pistol.  Is there a way to get it back? If not, then gently caress... don't have any recent saves other than like halfway through Mexico.

Any tips on the last Sharpshooter challenge? I know there have been a bunch of suggestions like going to barfights, but I can't consistently get this drat game to register the disarms (aka you hit their hand, not the gun) and deadeye keeps reloading my drat Evans repeater.

Okay, that sniper rifle suggestion is bullshit. I've tried it about 7 times now, and I keep getting gunned the hosed down because tracking is so goddamn dodgy in this game and your meter is not nearly long enough, even with Moonshine.

Maid posted:I couldn't do it with a sniper rifle, but I had seriously no problem doing it in pike's basin with a repeater. Try that out. Just get kind of close and bring a ton of moonshine, tobacco and snake oil. It's really not super hard, and it's not like your disarm counter resets if you gently caress up and kill someone. It only resets if you change guns or reload (the deadeye reload doesnt cout obviously). I just did it with the high powered pistol while hiding in the theater in Blackwater, but I unlock the challenge and then as soon as it starts saving, I get shot in the face and die. Respawned and the challenge is complete, but I didn't get the trophy unlock if there is one. Hope I didn't gently caress up my game.

Lord Hydronium posted:I found them all over western Tall Trees, particularly in the area where it slopes down to the river. Yeah, I hunted around for 30 minutes getting them, then I was riding by the river looking for bighorns and my stupid horse somehow hit hit a bump and just bounced into the water, so I died and lost all 5 pelts. I am pissed at this point, so I ride back out to get the bighorns first, and what do I find but a herd of 5 elk just hanging out... buffalo rifle made short work of that. Now I'm trying to knife a bear and good god it is a bitch. Tried softening it up with a body shot from the buffalo and a few shots to the face with the High Powered pistol, but he's still ripping my face off. Mainly it's that he'll get me once and before I can even stand he'll maul me again and I die.

Samurai Sanders posted:No no, I'd prefer that they just PICKED A LANGUAGE. The whole point of it all was that Marston can't speak Spanish. They were speaking English because they WERE speaking English to him. The Spanish had no translating subtitles because Marston doesn't understand Spanish, so it's all just Spic gibberish to him. Also you clearly haven't spent a lot of time with Mexicans in the US, because even up here in NYC, they regularly will throw in Spanish insults or terms while speaking English. It's no different than when shithead American tourists throw in random English words while trying to BS their way through the native language when they go to Europe, which also happens regularly.

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. True, but you learn a LOT about Marston in the Mexico conversations, actually. Like the fact that he has a son named Jack who is a teenager, and that he has a farm that's actually in West Elizabeth. There's a lot of foreshadowing in this game, if you pay attention.

Mr. Heliotrope posted:They're random occurrences, so just walk around town and hope to get challenged. The timing on the reticule counts, too. When it's contracted and white you will fill the bar up more if you paint then vs painting when it's expanded and red. If it's contracted and white when you target their hand, it'll instantly end the duel and you'll disarm them.

Mastiff posted:Wow, I'm pretty disappointed with the first treasure hunter challenge. The map shows Hanging Rock/tree in the distance of the II. drawing, but the treasure's actually butting up against the rock that the tree is on?. I feel like the drawing lead me away from the treasure rather than to it. Are they all that misleading? Read the OP to understand how treasure maps work. The only treasure map that was a real letdown was the one that you get from a Stranger mission. Because it's a stranger mission, the game highlights exactly where you need to go and even puts a question mark RIGHT on the treasure, despite each piece of map you get having all the drawings and such, same as the regular treasure maps. Real missed opportunity, because the treasure hunting was one of my favorite parts of the game.

Lugubrious posted:My rank 8 master hunter was a bit more frustrating (but perhaps more humorous): every single time I tried, I'd hit a bear a few times, I'd be circling around it when a second, heretofore unseen bear would leap from offscreen and tackle me, then the bear I was already fighting would close for the killing blow before I could stand. I cheated and shot the bear in it's side with the buffalo rifle once, then took out my LeMat and shot it twice in one of its hindlegs so it was a little slower. It mostly ran from me, so there I was, a lone man with matted hair and a torn shirt (treasure hunter gang) with holes in his shoes, running down the side of a snowy mountain chasing a bear while flailing a knife wildly. Eventually caught up to him and managed to knife him to death, but it was a pretty hilariously ridiculous scene. Then when I had to kill Brumas the legendary bear, I rode up to him on my horse and unloaded all 5 shells from my Auto-5 into his face.

Mr. Heliotrope posted:I don't think you even get that option. I used the moment given to unload my Henry Repeater onto Allende's crotch, at which point Bill started saying "I'll turn my life around blah blah blah" while getting up and bringing his gun out and Reyes shot him dead. I think he's actually asking about Escuela, which I wonder about too, actually. You can capture him and not kill him, and there's a bunch of cutscenes if you capture him like I did. I didn't try killing him, but I haven't quite gotten to the end yet (Just scouted Cochinay and rescued the Professor from town) and I was wondering if that choice makes a difference in the long run, too.

Ez posted:You get the option for both actually. Basically, once they're on the ground, a little text box comes up and says "Kill Bill William". Just out of curiosity, I didn't, and a cut scene eventually played where Reyes killed him. With Esquela, it just gives you the option to kill him or capture him, I chose to capture him. Could be a segue into possible DLC territory, you never know. Probably not a full expansion, but I could see them releasing small storyline bits in the form of like 5-10 missions that are a side story or just a random add-on, and it's only like $5.99 or maybe even free. The core mechanics of the game are really elaborate and enough that there's a lot they could do, in terms of DLC and just slightly adjusting the buildings/towns and changing the year.

It wasn't the fake job titles that confused people, it was the fact that he wasn't actually some random Sony employee they got to do a TV spot, and the fact that his name isn't actually Kevin Butler in real life. I dunno, I guess apparently some people thought that Sony's marketing campaign was so stupid and had stopped giving a poo poo that they found some random cubicle worker, threw him in front of a camera and told him to read lines, and it actually worked, so they made an entire ad campaign around him and his name is really Kevin Butler.

Well, I finally got to the end, and it's come to a game-breaking halt unless I'm suddenly retarded and can't see some obvious path. Just forced Dutch off the machine gun, and I'm running around trying to get up to the higher level, but there's no way up there. Found a ladder, but that just leads to the catwalk that goes back out the gate. No way to climb up on any of these boxes, and I see no other way up. What the gently caress this sucks.

So I just finished it... great loving game, despite having the ending sorta semi-spoiled for me. Ending credits music is awesome. I gotta say, I actually sort of bust out laughing right at the end, as Jack turns around and it just pops up RED DEAD REDEMPTION in big letters and he's got a very John expression on his face. Sad I missed the musical interlude in Mexico. Glad I have a save right after Fort Mercer.

Slappy Moose posted:Yeah, I've never won a hand. I don't play Texas Hold'em in real life so I don't loving know what the hands are and the fact the game doesn't have any kind of reference page at all really fucks me over. Also, the fact you can't just shoot the winner and take their winnings is retarded. Doesn't stop me from doing it out of spite and annoyance, though. How does a person grow up not knowing how to play one of the two mainstay card games of our day and age? I'm being serious. I mean, if they had thrown Gin Rummy at us or something, I could understand, but it's loving poker. At least the basics of the hands is mostly common knowledge to anyone that grows up in a western country (and if you're not in a western country, then nevermind) but it's really straight forward, at least at the basic hand level, and excluding the table in Blackwater, the poker hands generally are very simplistic, for the most part, on the AI's end. Two pair beats one pair Three of a kind beats two pair Seriously, if you just know that, you can easily flush out the table in Armadillo and Chuparosa. Just don't bet like a maniac when you have lovely cards. That's if you know nothing about the game and haven't learned to predict the AI in the game... if you even just know all the basic hands in poker (there's technically only 9) you can be way more aggressively than that.
