I think we're all dumbfounded into silence that that's your really easy way to make money
― cozen, Monday, 24 May 2010 23:01 (thirteen years ago) link
It's early in the game, I haven't raided the Fort yet, but money seems pointless as there isn't anything expensive worth getting. I have $3000 or so. Hopefully I won't be sitting on a wad of cash throughout the whole game.

i find it harder to be a homicidal maniac then in gta I think b/c of the engine.
one criticism: the open order of missions can sometimes backfire. Like when you keep getting the hogtie option but may have not done that mission. Same with Thieves Landing, which gets mentioned before it appears on your map.

ah yes to the hogtie thing, i have no idea how to do that and it keeps coming up
― bracken free ditch (Ste), Tuesday, 25 May 2010 00:14 (thirteen years ago) link
its pretty fun, although sometimes it goes unappreciated. like i hogtied a criminal running from the law and the lawman just walked up and capped him.
― |8 l) u_u (bnw), Tuesday, 25 May 2010 03:22 (thirteen years ago) link
yes!! i got the random encounter when two criminals run off from the lawman, i roped them both, brought them back, the guy says thanks, i get my $17 or whatever and he blows both their brains out and strolls off

there's a definite edge toward disregard of life, even moreso than in GTA i think. You're encouraged to shoot any goddamn thing that moves and bonus points if you gut it or loot it.
― forksclovetofu, Tuesday, 25 May 2010 06:20 (thirteen years ago) link
If you hogtie the guy that robs the general store from time to time, the weirdo anti-semite shopkeeper stands there theatrically kicking him in the head.
Also, there's a mission where a woman wants to leave town and you can either let her go or tie her up at the train station and bring her back to her husband. I tied her up, got the info from her husband then ran off with her and set her free at the train station, but she just ran away screaming and it didn't trigger any plot stuff.
Multiplayer free roam seems really good if you don't just get surrounded by mongs who repeatedly shoot you even though it's supposed to be co-op focused.

What the hell is this matchmaking system that thinks an ideal first match for me would be a shootout where I'm alone in a one man team against a 3 man team of experienced twats?

i keep failing at this dumb horse race for west dickens. and like, it's not because i'm doing badly at the race, my horse just isn't fast enough and doesn't have enough stamina compared to the other horses. Guess i'll have to ride about like a fud until i max out his loyalty or whatever, bah. Lame and boring.

the general store

i just bought a horse, then used the deed and i have no idea where it is.

real men wrangle horses
see i would wrangle horses but how do you tell if they're better than the one you have? i did whistle and a horse that looked a lot like the horse i already had came back and i can't tell if it's any faster. ha.
― Thaksin Albert Shinawatra (jim in glasgow), Tuesday, 25 May 2010 15:34 (thirteen years ago) link
suppose i can try the race again and see if i win.

if it has a bigger willy it's better

A stats screen for the horse would be a nice addition, so you could see the loyalty, stamina, top speed, give it a name, etc

I shot a few wild horses in the face last night, just to see what would happen. What happened is that they just died. It was kind of underwhelming.

I wrangled one of the $750 horses, then wanted to exchange it for my old one once I realized what I did after stopping at the store. Now I cant figure out what the hell the damn thing looked like. Apparently its white-ish. pfft.
― mayor jingleberries, Tuesday, 25 May 2010 17:12 (thirteen years ago) link
ok fuck the lassooing horses mission. how the fuck?
― bracken free ditch (Ste), Tuesday, 25 May 2010 17:53 (thirteen years ago) link
so i shot the fucking things instead.
i don't understand the balancing at all. urgh ruining my game.
― bracken free ditch (Ste), Tuesday, 25 May 2010 17:55 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah the horse ropin' mission drove me nuts. took me a long time to figure out what you have to hold down and what you have to let go.
the balancing thing: if you're leaning one way, push the other way a little bit
― goole, Tuesday, 25 May 2010 18:00 (thirteen years ago) link
When you're tipping to the left, push right. When you're tipping to the right, push left.
― no turkey unless it's a club sandwich (polyphonic), Tuesday, 25 May 2010 18:00 (thirteen years ago) link
(i still don't know if i have roping figure out fully, i just hold down triggers until i'm done, i think?)
(balancing) that's what i've been doing, but still falling off. gah!
― bracken free ditch (Ste), Tuesday, 25 May 2010 18:01 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah, you keep holding down the trigger after lassoing something. Hold it down when you jump off your horse and walk to it
Regarding boars (upthread): use bait at that Boar spot
---------------------------
If you miss a stranger (?) will it show up later again in the game? I'm trying not to miss any site specific encpounters (not only stranger visits). I know many encounters are random and repeatable but when I was looking at the stats screen there is two tallies: random encounters and not so random encounters (it goes by different names but I'm not able to check right now). I don't want to miss anything and hopefully the game doesn't let you miss the not-so-completely-random encounters.
Liar's Dice (aka Perudo) is a pretty cool game irl. Have any of you ever played it? The variation that I play irl is much better than the RDR version. In the better version 1's are wild and you don't do the "that amount is exact" rule... it's more complicated learning how to bet because when you bet 1's you have to halve the last amount etc..
//I'm posting from my Blackberry because I'm traveling out of town and I won't be back to play RDR until Monday. Happy trails to yall//
― CaptainLorax, Tuesday, 25 May 2010 18:12 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah i used the bait and it only works the first time. after that, it's just cougars and wolves. guess i have to come back in a few days?
― jeff, Tuesday, 25 May 2010 18:14 (thirteen years ago) link
No it worked twice or three times in a row for me. I just made sure I was standing right in the middle of the picture of the pig on my map. Also I think it was daytime if that makes a difference (?). Thanks for pointing out where to go btw
