Martytoof posted:I must be profoundly bad at deadeye or something because I've got to shoot hats off dudes' heads and I can't help but headshot them instead Yeah, the deadeye tends to autoaim a bit. Just find someone stationary, get up somewhat close with a rifle, and shoot the side brim of their hat, not the top.

Ez posted:Well, I just finished the game and I have to say, while I didn't exactly like the ending, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. This is all totally intentional. END SPOILERS Jack has no purpose. The only thing in his life is taking revenge on an old man who's already won in every way and has lived a full, ripe life. All he has to look forward to in life is wandering around with no purpose; Just like John would've started out like. Despite John's efforts to give his son a better life, the cycle continues. Jack is just an angry young man with no family and no direction in life. Oh, and it's also a neat way for the game to go "Okay, you finished the story, now you can stop roleplaying and just dick around as much as you want." Let's face it, your behavior after you beat a sandbox game gets way crazier than when you're doing missions.

Howard Beale posted:Well, I figure it's a nod to Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. They're hopelessly outnumbered with no chance of escape. There's nothing else to do but go out shooting. Although I really hoped I could've hit Ross' sidekick if I couldn't get Ross right then. Except you can't call it a win at all. Ross is considered a hero, and is instrumental in shaping the way the country ends up; in a sense, he's responsible for the world you and I now inhabit. Sure, he's eventually gunned down, but by then he's an old man in retirement. He has no regrets, he's not even remorseful, just kinda annoyed that you interrupt his duck hunt. Ross wins, no matter how you look at it.

Danger Mahoney posted:I dunno, I thought the uneducated revisionist moralizing rang a little hollow in a game that prominently features mass murder and had just encouraged me to blast several hundred animals, including a loving Mexican jaguar. Also, the vaguely racist "noble savage" beatifying made me pretty uncomfortable, like I was watching a game about how Asians are good at math. He's not a noble savage, he's just not an idiot, which is what everyone assumes he is. He's not running around throwing flowers around and talking about the beauty of nature, he's just an average dude who happens to be Native American, and everybody treats him like he spends all his time whooping and hollering inside a teepee all day. Also, people kinda hunted back then. It was a huge industry in the turn of the century. The game's not making a moral call about it.

There are 8 locations in New Austin, 8 in Mexico, and 4 in West Elizabeth. If any of those numbers don't match up, then go to that region and do bounty missions. The fact that you keep getting the same ones in Mexico mean you've already done all the Mexico locations.

Northwest Smith posted:I'm sorry if tthis has come up before, but I'm not going to trawl through all those pages. You don't, pretty much. To end the duel, you either have to fill your bar, fire every shot your gun has, or let the time expire. Since I'm a sucker for one-shotting dudes in duels, I tend to line up one well-aimed shot to the face, then wait for the duel timer to run out. As long as your bar is higher than your opponent's, you'll win. But yeah, I do wish there was a way to go "Yeah, I'm good, lemme shoot now".

The game explains the campfire system in one of the early Armadillo missions, and even before then is like "HEY LOOK A CARRIAGE I BET YOU CAN RIDE THAT TO GET PLACES". I will never, however, underestimate the ability of video game players to completely ignore presented information, no matter how critical.

The end of Undead gives away the ending of RDR, and the ending of RDR is something you definitely want to experience unspoiled. I'd say yes. Feel free to dick around in Undead for a bit if you want, but don't get too into it.

LLCoolJD posted:I wasn't opposed to it in principle; but, if they wanted to go that route, why not just have Marston killed right after he gets them Dutch? At least that way the farm missions that followed could have used Jack Marston and have shown him come of age. Having John do those ranch missions after leading a bloody rebellion in Mexico and storming fort after fort was anticlimactic, especially since he already did rancher missions to begin the game. Having Jack do them could have provided a more fleshed-out epilogue where he builds up the farm and produces a life that his father wanted for him. The point of the game is that despite everything you struggle to do as John to make a better life for his family, Jack ends up falling into the exact same cycle of violence that he did. It's an artistic statement, and you're not supposed to be satisfied with it. Sometimes the good guys don't get to ride off into the sunset.

Rookersh posted:About how long is Undead Nightmare? If you have no interest in multiplayer whatsoever, then you should just grab Undead Nightmare, since every other DLC is exclusively multiplayer content. As for length, I'd say around 3 hours at a total guess, not counting all the time you spend looking for sidequests and unlocking stuff.

Timeless Appeal posted:Characters will sometimes comment on your honor. For example, if you have high honor and are arrested the police will make a comment like "We hate to do this." Not only this, YOUR comments will change based on honor. Pressing the button to tip your hat at people will have an honorable Marston say things like "Good day ma'am" and "how are you, sir?", while a dishonorable Marston will say things like "You have a face like a slapped rear end, sir".

I get to the mission where I'm helping West with his olde tyme medicine show, and the guy wants me to shoot his hat. It tells me to push R3 for deadeye mode, and well, hitting R3 just makes me look behind me. Well, you're probably going to want to have your gun out to shoot that hat, so it might help if you took your gun out, maybe?
