ok, when you buy a horse, where is it?
― taylory dayne (goole), Sunday, 23 May 2010 19:25 (thirteen years ago) link
You have to choose it from you item and "use" it, which then switches it in as your default horse.

this game is fun. I haven't even tried multiplayer yet. having too much fun with the single-player.
I did see a guy get off his horse in the wilderness and start peeing into a river under a bridge.

I lassoed a guy off a hooker to try and go the taking him alive route, but it just made him fall headfirst into a wall and he died anyway.
The drunk guy that sometimes falls out of the bar seems to be immune to punches. I tried to lasso his body to drag him to the cells for the night and he disappeared, leaving only his hat.
I kind of hope they don't patch any of that shit.

has anyone come across the cannibals or the women being hanged yet o_O
― cozen, Sunday, 23 May 2010 19:34 (thirteen years ago) link
yes!
― taylory dayne (goole), Sunday, 23 May 2010 19:34 (thirteen years ago) link
cannibals was part of one of the "stranger" missions right?
and the women getting lynched thing... i think i failed a couple of those already :/
i've put in an alarming amount of time in on this in the past 48 hours
― taylory dayne (goole), Sunday, 23 May 2010 19:35 (thirteen years ago) link
Cannibal was creepy, wasn't sure whether to just shoot him immediately because he was such a blatant cannibal
― MPx4A, Sunday, 23 May 2010 19:41 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah I'm not much of a "sit down and play a game for a long time in one stretch" person but I played for about 2 hours straight this afternoon
― congratulations (n/a), Sunday, 23 May 2010 19:43 (thirteen years ago) link
there are other cannibals out there too
came across some camp w/a guy preparing to feast on a hogtied feller, campsite was strewn with bones, limbs and a p.detailed severed head

Nb can I not interact with dogs? I feel like I should feed that dog that's always running round.
I ran one over in the dark and lost honour.
― MPx4A, Sunday, 23 May 2010 19:44 (thirteen years ago) link
I tried to greet the dog.

Are these definitely glitches and not batshit easter eggs? I mean donkey woman was galloping and birdman is flapping.

Ok, got this today, about to go and get started, and I'm deciding in advance that I'm going to play against my usual nice guy type, and just be a bit of a shithead to pretty much everyone.
― JimD, Sunday, 23 May 2010 19:58 (thirteen years ago) link
xp both look like "wrong graphics asset" type glitches

The shithead approach can get out of hand quick; you could kill a whole town if you wanted! I'm sure somebody is playing as a mass murderer as we speak.

you guys are making this game sound awesome, is there anybody here that doesn't like it?
if it doesn't arrive tomorrow i will barf my brains out

Anyone had any luck with the treasure maps? I'm not sure if they come in a certain order or if it's random, but the first one I got has a noose in the corner of it. I haven't recognized any of the landmarks from the treasure map while traveling around. And I think that you can't move on to the next treasure map until you solve the first.
― it makes sense......................................does it to you? (Z S), Sunday, 23 May 2010 22:04 (thirteen years ago) link
the noose is a real big clue.
― Roberto Spiralli, Sunday, 23 May 2010 22:06 (thirteen years ago) link
The "I." and "II." on the map also confuse me. I would suck as a real life treasure hunter.
― it makes sense......................................does it to you? (Z S), Sunday, 23 May 2010 22:08 (thirteen years ago) link
lol. the I. refers to the first landmark and the II. is the second thing to look for, in that vicinty.
― Roberto Spiralli, Sunday, 23 May 2010 22:09 (thirteen years ago) link
I was just trying to find the treasure! I know what the landmark is but couldn't find a place near it that looked like the drawing.
― congratulations (n/a), Sunday, 23 May 2010 22:10 (thirteen years ago) link
the I. and II. are not necessarily two distinct rocks
― cozen, Sunday, 23 May 2010 22:14 (thirteen years ago) link
I can't imagine ever not wanting to play this game.
― MPx4A, Sunday, 23 May 2010 22:37 (thirteen years ago) link
It's pretty great, but suffers from sandbox syndrome; I get lost and distracted constantly and lose the thread of the game proper. Like I don't think I've talked to the chick who saved me since I went to the new town and I gather that's the crux of the game.
― forksclovetofu, Sunday, 23 May 2010 23:00 (thirteen years ago) link
I'd recommend playing bonnie's missions forks; that way you'll get the lasso
― cozen, Sunday, 23 May 2010 23:02 (thirteen years ago) link
the noose map is kind of messed up. you have to poke around the area for a bit to find the treasure.
― jeff, Sunday, 23 May 2010 23:04 (thirteen years ago) link
is there another spot to find boar other than the one just to the north of bonnie's ranch? my bait is just pulling cougars and wolves now. need to level up my hunting skillz.

I'm enjoying this a lot right now, but I'll admit that my enthusiasm for all the GTA games I've played dropped off significantly after a few weeks, so we'll see if the same thing happens here. However, I think RDR might last longer; the controls seem more intuitive and the missions don't seem as frustrating (so far) and it's more fun riding around in the wilderness alone than in a city full of people.

each one of these missions is a really fun set piece. kudos R!
mission design has been a huuuuge weak spot in every sandbox game i've ever played, up to and incl GTAIV. so, tears of thankfulness over here.
― taylory dayne (goole), Monday, 24 May 2010 02:24 (thirteen years ago) link
has anyone moved on to the new territories? i really hope those areas open up the world. i like what i'm playing so far, but this sandbox is mostly sand and i only find it so interesting to ride that horse around.
― jeff, Monday, 24 May 2010 08:30 (thirteen years ago) link
Has the MP posse happened yet? I need to be eased in or I'll let the prospect of being autoshot by feral children put me off the idea altogether.
I shot the cannibal and hog-tied the victim so I could help him back to civilisation, but the ungrateful twat just ran off screaming when I cut him loose. In retrospect I shoulda just hogtied the cannibal and popped him on the train tracks or near some wolves.
What would happen if you dropped the cannibal near some other cannibals
― MPx4A, Monday, 24 May 2010 09:37 (thirteen years ago) link
Try dropping the cannibal near Toto Coelo.

i'm gonna talk more about this game, so *SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS*
...
i think i'm around the 40% mark, in the game's second act in Mexico, and i haven't interacted with one indian yet. i don't think there are any in the game at all. i think this is significant, somehow. i like that the game is in 1911, a "late western" about the closing of the frontier rather than an early one about opening it. maybe this is just to allow them to put more interesting guns in the game, or riff off the meta-westerns like the wild bunch or there will be blood (a town called plainview? really?). plus it doesn't shy away from politics at all; every other dude wants to talk to you about federal power. anyway, the setting's early-20th-century-ness is really present and apparent to me and i'm really liking it.
speaking of politics, there's the politics of Rockstar's media reputation, and i'm getting ongoing chuckles from the (what i take to be) anti "hot coffee" vibe of the whole thing. no matter which path you take, the John Marston character is (so far) faithful to his wife as a given. the prostitutes say stuff like "i hate to see a man with the condition of a dry pecker" (no shit i think i heard this) and our killer just says "my wife wouldn't like that" or something.
― taylory dayne (goole), Monday, 24 May 2010 15:02 (thirteen years ago) link
I think the prostitute line was "I hate to see a man with such a dry pecker... can I help?"
