I didn't even know you could walk around in there! I thought it was a cut scene.

I am officially a knight of the west and have maxed out my honor bar. Heading back to deal with Irish as that's the last of my outstanding letters on the map. High points lately: dealing with the horse fucker, cleaning out all the gang hideouts, having a man steal my horse/whistling for horse/dude getting bucked off/me roping and hogtieing him and leaving him in the road
― forksclovetofu, Saturday, 29 May 2010 05:28 (thirteen years ago) link
Have you done any Irish missions before?
― Mordy, Saturday, 29 May 2010 05:32 (thirteen years ago) link
Yep; just finished the snake oil salesman and the grave robber and I think I just have to do two with Irish and I'll be ready for an assault on the mission.

Just played four hours of multiplayer with some pals. I need to sleep.

spending waaaaaay too much time on this generally wandering and hunting rather than doing owt - played 3 or 4 hours last night - did 3 missions.

Don't think I've hit 20 hours so quickly on a game for ages.
― MPx4A, Saturday, 29 May 2010 15:19 (thirteen years ago) link
hunting does have the oregon trail appeal, dunnit.
I know I can deadeye w/ the lasso but how do I hogtie. I think my timing is screwy. I am also trying to do it from horseback;
1) lasso a person
2) Hold L2; press triangle?
― Astronaut Mike Dexter (Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved), Saturday, 29 May 2010 16:23 (thirteen years ago) link
do I automatically dismount from horse if trying to lasso from horse?
― Astronaut Mike Dexter (Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved), Saturday, 29 May 2010 16:24 (thirteen years ago) link
no. You can lasso from horse or on foot. You have to run up and touch the lasso'd person while they're still on the ground and hit the hogtie button (Y on xbox, not sure on PS3)I just went south of the border and the amazing and very clearly directorially planned moment with the jose gonzalez music was awesome. Then i got eaten by wolves. this is a lot less like GTA and a lot more like fallout 3 i do believe.
― forksclovetofu, Saturday, 29 May 2010 16:29 (thirteen years ago) link
so you throw lasso, hold the button you throw with, then direct the horse/walk to the person and "tap" triangle or "press n hold" triangle?
― Astronaut Mike Dexter (Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved), Saturday, 29 May 2010 16:34 (thirteen years ago) link
L2 is the button you don't want to let go of, not the throw button (R2).

I don't think I get the point w/ this movie showing right now -- it looks like he took the cutscenes and rearranged them to flow more like a film narrative? What's the point? They needed a real director to do this?
― Mordy, Sunday, 30 May 2010 04:05 (thirteen years ago) link
i randomly join multiplayer a couple days ago and it put me in a game with forks.
wow @ the music when you cross into mexico for the first time. very cinematic.

― |8 l) u_u (bnw), Sunday, 30 May 2010 04:45 (thirteen years ago) link
But a kinda legit director (the guy who directed The Road) directed it. They needed a professional director to make this?

― Nhex, Sunday, 30 May 2010 05:25 (thirteen years ago) link
oh yay first full on game-breaking glitch. lassoed a dude when up close and then hogtied him, which amusingly left him vertical. pressed button to pick him up, now i have an invisible dude over my shoulder, a standing dude that i cant do anything with, and i cant put invisible dude down, or put him on my horse, or ride my horse, or do anything...
so much for that whole bunch of mission progress since my last save point. rrrrggg

What a rip. I was doing the hunting mission where you have to kill 5 wolves with your knife. So, I killed and skinned 4 wolves, and was chasing after(!) a fifth when a cougar pounced and killed me. Okay fine. But when I woke and was heading off back to Rio Bravo to get the remaining wolf, I checked my satchel - no wolf pelts. It didn't save. Had to start from scratch.
Anyone found the religious lady from the train ride lying dying by some rocks out in the wilderness? Some weird goins on in this game.
― DavidM, Sunday, 30 May 2010 08:53 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah, she was an odd quest, basically came down to "give her some medicine", and I already had some in my pocket, so the whole thing was over in seconds.
These random deaths plus infrequent autosaves could really be enough to ruin this game. Only been a problem for me a couple of times so far, but seems to be happening to everyone at some point, and yeah, they're only going to get more annoying.
― JimD, Sunday, 30 May 2010 11:32 (thirteen years ago) link
Someone told me more gang hideouts etc open up in free roam as you level up...but looking at faqs I'm not sure that's the case? Anyone confirm or deny? Or is it really just a matter of grinding those same 6 or 7 locations over and over?
― JimD, Sunday, 30 May 2010 11:42 (thirteen years ago) link
I think you can kill wolves w/your gun and skin them for the pelts and it still registers. iirc when I checked my stats on tht one I had 2 wolves killed by knife but 4 pelts collected
― cozen, Sunday, 30 May 2010 13:18 (thirteen years ago) link
if I had to gripe about anything in this game it would most certainly be the cut scenes, they are waaaaay too long. i've started skipping them completely now.
otherwise, i'm still enjoying it. I think i'm on the final mission for the first part. But before I do it I want to finish off all the other stuff. I particularly want to start opening up the outfits, because it sounds like some of them could be useful (the extra dead eye for starters)
and i've still not played anything of the poker, finger, dice games. I tried the horeshoe one, i was crap at it.
― bracken free ditch (Ste), Sunday, 30 May 2010 13:54 (thirteen years ago) link
horseshoes was the most frustrating thing about the game so far. the instructions are lacking, i had to look up how to really do it on the web >:(
don't think I have skipped one cut-scene though.
