Is there an easy way to go back and access tutorial instructions from before? I finally got a chance to play again and was challenged to a duel, my only one since the tutorial. I thought I remember how it worked, pulled left trigger when it said 'draw' and was instantly shot dead. Went back to see how it worked in my journal and couldn't go back that far. Don't teach me a game skill then not require me to use it for several hours and expect me to remember without instructions.

buyable posted:Don't know if you can re access tutorials but all you have to do is hit left trigger when it says duel and then hit right trigger all over your opponents body when the crosshair flashes white. Yeah, I looked up on the wiki how to do it afterwards, I was more just lamenting the fact that there's no easy in-game way to go back and access 'how do to X activity' if it's been a while since you've done it. More me bitching about game design than anything else. Bully had the same problem as I remember. Apart from that tiny thing though this game is so loving amazing. Probably my favorite Rockstar sandbox game after Bully, and it really is a stark contrast to GTA4.

Crows Turn Off posted:If you aim for the gun, it only takes one because you automatically win. If you click the arm or the hand instead, you will need to fill up the meter. Can you shoot the gun out of the holster? Because I can't quite seem to get the timing right as the opponent takes it out and end up dead before I can shoot it out of his hand. I'm not good with gunfights.  Edit: I really wish there was a way to practice this consistently other than 'win or die in a random event.'

Tewratomeh posted:Yeah, I brought this up earlier, and I guess it's open for interpretation... but why would you think that the Strange Man is God when the Devil would be so much cooler and more in keeping with the mood and themes of the game? I'll spoiler this just in case, but I'd love to be able to talk about this plotline without spoiler tags.. The Devil tempts you into committing evil acts. If anything he admonishes you for the evil you've committed, and raises a very real and excellent moral question: if you've killed dozens or hundreds of people how is it possible to become a 'good' person? Does saving someone from committing an act of adultery actually make you good if the blood of so many people is on your hands? (Simialar question: does Darth Vader realizing he's made an error at the end of Star Wars absolve him of the atrocities committed by his hand, and by the Empire he's supported? Apparently so in the Star Wars universe but that's never sat well with me.) To me the strange man seems more like an angel of judgement, at least in traditional Christian mythology.

Earwicker posted:Tried multiplayer for the first time last night. From what I read I was expecting a crowd of 15 year old assholes to be waiting for me to spawn so they could immediately kill me hundreds of times but it was actually pretty sparse and the other people in free roam seemed fairly decent, no spawn campers or anything like that. not bad, though maybe i just got lucky I've had more good luck than bad in multiplayer. Only once did I get on a server with two assholes hell-bent on griefing me at every turn; for the most part, people will leave you alone or posse up and go do fun poo poo together. The FFA / Gang Wars games on the other hand can be pretty dickish, with a lot of people quitting when you're about to win, that kind of thing.

Knuc If U Buck posted:Yeah, the griefing in this game isn't very creative. The only instances where I've been annoyed enough to leave a match and do something else was when some guy on my team in a gang match spent the whole match hunting me down and killing me and another time when me and a couple other dudes began herding the cows in that coop mission before one of them decided dynamite was a legitimate cow herding implement. The only time I've really had a problem was one server where it was me and two other guys, and they spent the whole time warping to wherever I was and shooting me over and over. I kept travelling across the map to try to do gang hideouts, and they would just travel in and shoot me. Took about 5 minutes to quit out.  Edit: I've had way more positive experiences than negative, like the time I went for my 10 minutes as Most Wanted achievement, the two guys who came to hunt me down ended up joining my posse and helped me get the cheevie rather than kill me.

Hey you know what sucks? The last battle automatically places you in Dead Eye without any warning so if you hit the Dead Eye button like you think you should to take those bastards down you EXIT dead eye and don't get to shoot ANY of them, instead being turned into mincemeat like a big pussy.

One of the last achievements I'm working on is killing 500 people with a Gatling Gun. If I replay missions with the Gatling, do the kills keep adding up towards my 500 total, or do I really need to grind this out in a private multiplayer map like the guides suggest?

I finished it last night, hitting 100% when I finished the last stranger mission too. loving awesome game, and narrative-wise probably the best game I've played in the last several years. I'm already considering replaying it just for the story - I wish there was a way to restart the game with things like the challenges all completed, so you don't have to grind those out and you can just focus on the story.

I got the semiauto pistol this morning and spent the next 20 minutes griefing a posse of newbies. I've never griefed anyone before, but holding all five of them off and hearing them complain was strangely satisfying. You get double XP for completing challenges too, so then I went and did what any cowboy would do: collect a bunch of stupid herbs. I really can't wait for the next pieces of DLC, the multiplayer is probably the best and has the most things to do of any game I've played yet.

I forgot to ask, is the general consensus pretty much that the Legends and Killers pack isn't worth it? $10 for skins, gang shootout maps (I kind of hate the competitive multiplayer in RDR), and a tomahawk seems a bit much. I like it and there are some FFA maps in it too, but your mileage may vary. Chucking a tomahawk into some unsuspecting pubbie's back is pretty funny though. There are probably better ways to spend  If you want to read up on the various boosting methods, check this thread out: http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/showthread.php?t=229132

The tomahawk is basically a one-shot kill but you need to be pretty close to use it, so it's good for a nice sneak in the back once in a while.
