Alright so a moral conundrum: The only "non-endgame" save I have is in Mexico, deep in the middle of the Luisa/Reyes/Mexican Army mission triangle. All I really want to do is unlock Blackwater (and maybe get a high power pistol, but it's not needed), but other than that, I just want fully unlocked free roam (and I have to work for my goddamned Legend of the West coat again  ). There's really little left for me to do in Single Player but goddamn it, immersion-wise I might be happy.Should I do it? I'm afraid that if I go through Mexico again I'll resent the game...what do I do?

So I was doing a stranger mission that involved a duel right after you start talking to them. The thing was, right before I got close enough to initiate talking (which wasn't prompted by a button, you just have to get close enough), I whipped out my sawed-off shotgun. That didn't change the cutscene of Marston and the stranger, but when the duel passby's started, they showed the enemy with his hand near his holster, and me with my sawed-off in my hand. Even when the camera went to my hand to let me duel, Marston kept his hand on his sawed off, raised, ready to shoot. I thought 'what the hell', and when it told me to draw, I put two crosshairs on my enemy, and Marston automatically shot both rounds of his sawed-off and reloaded. To which I thought: "loving AWESOME! I JUST WON A DUEL WITH A SAWED-OFF  "... Then the game glitched out to the point where half of the buttons didn't work and I had to reload

Alright, I'm pretty loving at Poker. Can someone explain what side pot and main part are? I finally got a nice hand (jack high flush) after near a hundred bad hands overall, and I get a 2.5k chip pot, and the drat thing gets split before anyone even shows their hand. I won both side and main pot, but I didn't get the loving achievement. WHAT THE HELL?!

Bounties sort of "expire", but they are considered random things anyway (ie: they're not fully scripted), so you can just do a different bounty later.

Not that I'm going to update every few minutes, but I just made it up to the first commercial...and I don't know what to think. It seems to pretty much use cutscenes and a few action shots from a Marshall Johnson mission. I hope there's going to be some sort of direction soon...

Samurai Sanders posted:One thing that some people seem to be regarding as a bug but I regard as a feature is how, when you call your horse, it runs past you instead of just stopping. That way, if you hit triangle at the right time, you can jump on and keep going the direction you were at high speed instead of having to accelerate again. Now, ideally, that's how that is supposed to work, especially when I'm running in a certain direction to begin with. If, however, I'm static, with no place to go, and my horse runs for me: No matter what tactic I use, the horse will swerve around me, boosting in speed just as he gets close enough, then will actually turn just enough to go back IN THE DIRECTION HE STARTED so I end up having to chase him and then do a 180 and regain ground to where I once started

Anyone have any idea what the titles for Weapons might be, or when they unlock? I quickly scroll through the weapon challenges list, and see that they only unlock XP, but there's a whole titles section for weapons in the outfitter. I googled to no avail, and would love to at least earn a shotgun-type title, but that probably won't be feasible if I have to get 75 PvP shotgun kills or whatever.

So does the social club 100% thing fully function yet? Cause I"m taking a look at it now and while it accurately says I have 93.3% done, it says I only discovered 6 locations out of 94, and have done no strangers or ambient challenges. This is my first time looking at it. If it's still on the fritz, then it's okay, but if someone's got it working without a glitch, do I have to wait a while before looking again or something?

I never thought I could get much more satisfaction out of the game since beating it, but I've proven myself wrong. Since deciding to 100% the game, I went through costume objectives, including "Bust out the entire Blackwater poker table". Having tried an accumulated hour or so just to get a 2000 chip hand in the past, I knew there'd be some hard-loving-times, so I kept trying my luck by going to the table to wait until there was only one person left (and whenever there wasn't, just violently shove the 2-4 people that were there, then go far enough to have the table reload). Finally I came upon the table when Visor "4-Eyes" McCheatdick was the only one there. Somehow, only a few hands in, I came upon a full house that turned into a 4 of a kind, which I quickly went All In, as did he. In one fell swoop, I busted him out. He left. The satisfaction came in the 5+ minutes (really, that's a long time) I spent shoving his body into metal objects, window panes, and tables. Even more funny was pressing B as he fell to hear a "Howdy, Mister!" only to have his body, about half the time, instantly snap into a standing position and greet me back like I wasn't harassing him. I did so until I chased him clear out of Blackwater. Now I have experienced Redemption!

I'm so glad, by the way, that I looked at the Red Dead Wiki to find out that when the US Marshal costume said "Gang Hideouts", they meant only the New Austin ones. I was wondering how the gently caress they expected me to cross the border and take out the other couple of mexican hideouts without camping or otherwise.

Since no one's mentioning alive or not, and I certainly don't need the money (I'm in post game), can I just shoot every bounty? Morter fucked around with this message at 00:33 on Jun 1, 2010 |

Metatags are usually themed around the game that it's brought up in.

Holy christ, I've been horrified yet again by this game. I know not many people care about personal experiences, but I don't think enough goons will run into this situation. Post End-game, I was dicking around Escalera waiting for a bounty to show up (Which it never loving did), and I kicked a sickly looking dog. He starts attacking me and no matter how many kicks I did, or lassoing, I couldn't stop him from hounding (  ) me. So, as I ran away from him, I whipped out a knife, and as he jumped at me, I just swiped at the air once, and the dog jumped into it, and was dead before he hit the floor.The horrificness was what Marston said in response to the fresh, tumbling dog corpse: "I guess I miss Rufus."

Something about killing wolf packs for MAD LOOTS and money just made it satisfying to let loose a barrage of shotgun shells). The worst part of 100%ing is probably having to do all the bounties in different locations. I literally grinded "???" bounties in Messico.

Holy Cheese posted:That reminds me, has anyone tried the random NPC that offers a hunting challenge to skin whatever animal he is after before he can? I haven't even tried it yet but I can imagine that ending up in a bloodbath for everyone involved including my loving horse. If a wolf even looks at my horse now I go on a killing spree. The couple of times I accepted, he actually just said "Get me xxxx", rather than challenging who before what. The one time I was challenged by time, it was to shoot some birds out of the sky, which were already in the air and I took out in one dead-eye. They're not really that bad. For the ones with "bring me some ____ skins", you aren't even timed. Its just an excuse for you to hunt and get immediately payed. The NPCs I wonder about are the TNT camp I saw a little south west of Blackwater.

I quite like Jack, maybe because I was playing as a good guy anyway. Like many already said... ENDGAME  It's as simple as the VA. John was calm and experienced in almost everything he did, and wasn't a screamo action-man. For example, on a common task you'll do many times a day: Speeding up your horse:John: "Lets go" "C'mon" "Hya" Jack: "YEEHAW" "QUIT YOUR DILLYDALLYING AND WORK" "FASTER, FASTER" Plus, I never really liked Jack's swollen, over-tanned, frozen-to-GLARE face, which you have to look at all the time as a reward for going through the whole story. So it's just a matter of vs  , to most people.

If you're a fan of shotguns, the Semi-Auto shotgun is a blast. 5 shots without pumping, and actually more powerful than the other 3. I read up on the LeMat revolver and I actually found out it's one of those revolvers that comes with a loving shotgun barrel. Like you put in a shell and it can shoot it, along with the regular pistol rounds in it. I'd love to have that in game, for when you're shooting at animals and a cougar/wolf tries to get all sneaky on ya.

Another Tale of the West: I was hunting south of Blackwater doing some hunting for fun and profit (I have 15k, so mainly fun and cougars ). As I was trotting around in the open plains, some guy is running from 4 wolves. Being full of DeadEye juice I, Marston the Pistolero shoot them down quickly and efficiently. The guy tosses me some spare change and shuffles on his way. As I'm skinning the 2nd wolf I killed, I hear his screams. By the time I finish skinning, I turn around to the sound and see that 4 more wolves had killed the guy about 30 feet away from where I had just saved his rear end. Sometimes there's no escaping fate. Sort of the theme of the game, if you think about it, really.

Has anyone ever run into the one guy that wanted to reward you for whatever? He says something along the lines of "Help yourself to whatever supplies I have", even though you meet him in the street. I accept, and he walks away, with me getting no items. I follow him, and he leads me to nowhere. This has happened twice now (and I still even haven't gotten the rosary! ), so I wonder if I'm missing something.

A couple of multiplayer free roam questions: I'm on a Lawbringer challange that has me do a hideout doing only Melee/Thrown weapons. Has anyone tried going in with two people, and killing one person with a throwing knife while other people run in and mop up for you? I had similar success finishing a challenge that said to do Pikes Basin and Twin Peaks (I think) without dying in the same session. I won that challenge by accidentally trotting too close to an active Pike's Basin run. Also, has anyone tried being public enemies and fighting the law from within Fort Mercer? I've been eying the sweet gatling being pointed at the entrance as a means to grind some delicious Mounted Weapons kills, but as I was doing a private game, once I cleaned Fort Mercer of baddies, I tried running away a bit to find someone to get a bounty on me, only to come back and have the hideout fully restocked with baddies. What I'm thinking is, if I and a few guys clear out Mercer, then one of us stays in while the others get in trouble and attract it to Fort Mercer, there would be a lovely hold out within, considering there's only a one way entrance and two ammo boxes (as opposed to Presidio's lack of ammo and flanking side entrance). If anyone would like to do that, let me know. If anyone's tried that already, what came of it?

Yes if you hit the gun/arm in the right way you'll instantly win. However, it will be the last shot you take because it will end the duel immediately. So, what you have to do is get both legs/knees first. That way, after the duel you can watch him shake his bloody hand for a few seconds before suddenly crumpling to the ground like he has the case of the vapors. Lead vapors

I'm thoroughly convinced that if they made a hunting game with a "Monster Hunter"-esque gathering system "Looting animals for parts (fur, bones, etc)", but just gave it guns, and GOOD guns, not gunlances, and set within the past century (because RDR sure does it well), it'd be a semi-high selling sleeper hit. It'd be a damned good one, too. Not many hunting games get a good rep but with incentive to get better goods, weapons, maybe horses, money, whatever it is. If they just made a hunting-centric RDR, with much more longevity and rewards. I don't think anyone who's played and enjoyed this game WOULDN'T buy the game above.
