Well then, looks like I'm sold then.

It's also bigger than GTA IV... from what I've heard. There's lots to do and mess around.

RAGE TIEM

So I just got to West Elizabeth, searched for half an hour, found and tamed an American Thuroughbred, thought "Hellz Yeah. Let's go do that Level 7 sharpshooting challenge now!"

I forgot to save, found 3 bears, they [censored] my horse, then they [censored] my face into oblivion, I load and I have some [censored] brown and white horse.

Me and my friend like to posse up, and then hunt other posse's down. We announce it first so it's fair. Something like, "Green team, Time to die!" And then he cackles madly and we chase them. Chased someone from Mexico to the northern mountains. And if anyone is ever a public enemy, we hunt them down as well.

I have a question for you all.

What aiming mode do you use?
I always use expert, but I don't think I've found a single other person in a game that uses it. Kinda gives em the edge over me when I hunt.

I use normal.

» Sat May 28, 2011 9:58 am

I use expert. It doesn't seem right to use anything else.

» Fri May 27, 2011 6:59 pm

I use normal on missions that have a buttload of guys shooting me all at once. And Expert for everything else.

Same here. I don't want the game doing the aiming for me.

I use normal on missions that have a buttload of guys shooting me all at once. And Expert for everything else.

Though I do agree with this. Sometimes, I switch over to normal when there's just that many guys and I don't like to spam dead eye.

Do you guys think I should try out expert?

» Sat May 28, 2011 5:04 am

Expert is still pretty easy, it tracks moving targets still (even though it's not precisely "locked-on") and there's a LOT of leeway when you miss shots. You can aim at the empty space to the right of a character at a distance and it will still hit.

On what are the grades you get on missions based upon? Is it solely completion time, or a combination of accuracy and stuff? I've never been able to get a gold medal, only silver and bronze.

What's the most you've guys won playing poker.

One hand I won $76.

I got 2000 somethin chips in one hand.

We should get another big game of free roam going tomorrow. (XBL) I'll be home around 3 pm PST.Can't wait to own Capital in a few fist fights again.

And let the horses live!

And I will be there to spoil all your fun and sniping you both after I throwing knife your horses.

Check that I might not be on.....damn work :glare:

Is this a glitch? I'm doing the beechers hope missions and I can't change my outfit anywhere. Is this normal?

» Sat May 28, 2011 7:20 am

I'm going online right now for some free-roam. Its so bloody handy that you can rank up in free mode

I've also taken a liking to all of the multiplayer modes, even free-for-all (which I hate in every other game). I think it's the awesome standoff at the start of matches that svcks me in

add my GT please,

Also, when do you go to Blackwater? I'm in Mexico and it seems like the storyline wouldn't go back to America from there

» Fri May 27, 2011 5:43 pm

I have no idea what i'm doing in these mini games. The writing is hard to read on my screen and i don't do these games, poker etc in real life. I need to win Liars Dice in a place in Mexico to get an outfit so its annoying...

» Sat May 28, 2011 8:34 am

Am I the only one who enjoys running into the strangers being chased by coyotes, and shooting them in the leg? Time to feed the family! :liplick:

No, I usually follow them and watch them get eaten...

How can you tell what breed is what, I want to get he achievemnt but cant tell the difference, 3 bears lol, I killled a couger, then another ran at me, killed it, then ran on my horse, then a couger chased, kiled it, then onekilled my horse killed it, tried to save or run because i didnt want to lose my boar tusks, then a couger killed me... I thought they worked alone, I mean seriously, this was all in about 5 minutes it took the piss.

Aiming mode ??? How do we change what dose it do ?

» Fri May 27, 2011 6:44 pm

Apparently I cant edit, so . How do I kill a couger with a knife, they kill in one hit.

No, that is how it's supposed to be. svcks, I know.

Also, when do you go to Blackwater? I'm in Mexico and it seems like the storyline wouldn't go back to America from there

After Mexico, you go to Blackwater.

Somewhat spoier reason:

Spoiler

The FBI guys want you to kill Dutch, the leader of your old gang, as well.

While I haven't done this, I'm guessing maybe Dead Eye?

ENDING SPOILER BELOW!!!

Spoiler

OH MY [censored] GOD!!!!!! Really? Really? Did Rockstar REALLY just do that? Oh my god that was the saddest most EPIC ending I've ever seen in a game. At first I didn't understand WHY Ross came back, but then I did after about ten seconds... it's because he wants to get rid of the whole gang, gain fame by doing so, and end the Old West which Marston was apart of and continued living, right? I think I even teared up a bit at the end when they shot him to pieces (maybe because of the song?) Luckily I got like six of the bastards, (one of them being a horse fool, and one of the Agents.) I rather do like Jack's Revenge... err... Redemption on Ross. Quite fitting I think. Love the game, love the story, love EVERYTHING about this game. Seriously, where could they go next with an RDR game? I mean, the current RDR already takes place at the end of the West, and Turn of the Century pretty much, so any ideas on where it could go? I was thinking they could follow Jack some more, but I don't really know about that anymore considering the time. Great job to everyone who made that game, couldn't be more happier/sad at the same time.

It's not really that hard. It still helps you a little and you feel cool doing all the work yourself B)

Running at them like a madman and swining a knife seemed to work well for me. After the many deaths, one was interesting who guessed a boar and couger would team up to kill me.

Yeah I want one too, but like you said the setting makes it hard, which annoyed me because they made a good game just set in a bad time as it leaves little hope for sequals. They could make a game set earlier or in another place in the west still untamed, or have a different timeline and a place still as the west after some government messup or something, who knows I just hope the setting dosent limit the possibility of another RD game.

I dont think its spoilery but incase anyone dose.

Am I the only one who would pay for a dlc that makes trains more meaningful, wasted opertunity, I should be able to hold people up, rob the trains (without it stopping), or maybe sit on a train as a passenger and have someone attempt to rob me, maybe have the government/people/anyone shipping some supplies and maybeI kill the gaurds protecting it and steal what I want... it just seems they had potential, also I need to be able to rob shops, it svcks I cant.

I agree with the trains. They really should have been more capable of things. I would have liked to utilized the twin seats more, to carry along a captured bounty, and take him along for the ride? While being chased by his cohorts and having to fend them off of course. Maybe even being capable of derailing a train with dynamite!

Spoiler

(like you do with that military convoy in Mexico)

They could always have it so the rail line is fixed in a couple of days, making the train incapable of doing it's route for that amount of time.

And how did you rob the train(s)? I've been trying, but seem to fail each test I try.
