Yeah I'm PS3, or will be when I can find a shop with it in stock.

i might be on later, if yall still on. might be bit drunk tho
just played for an hour or so, and didn't accomplish anything other than finding out that the north east part of the map is completely inaccessible right now and that the mexican border river NEEDS MORE FECKING BRIDGES!
― Don't look at the finger (Ste), Thursday, 3 June 2010 19:35 (thirteen years ago) link
The whole map is open in Multiplayer Free Roam.

yeah i was wondering, i played free roam for about 2 minutes and i was in some town with proper roads. is that in the north east bit too?
― Don't look at the finger (Ste), Thursday, 3 June 2010 19:38 (thirteen years ago) link
The Sam Elliott dude you meet when you first get to Mexico has a total Japanese deep-mystery vibe goin on. "I'm the last of my kind..." "So what are you waiting around here for?" "I don't know..."
Totally. And Kevin Spacey to play the 'I Know You' strange man guy in the movie adap.

I have the 16ppl posse achievement; beware tho iirc the achievement is for being the posse leader in a 16ppl posse so if you do manage to get into one the leader has to leave and rejoin to make someone else the leader so they get the achievement, and then rinse repeat until everyone has it
very fiddly
― cozen, Friday, 4 June 2010 09:10 (thirteen years ago) link
i am interested in any posse action. xbawx gt: Snarly Yow.

did you guys know you can start a bar brawl? :D
― The Clegg Effect (Tracer Hand), Friday, 4 June 2010 10:59 (thirteen years ago) link
should be an "achievement" for that
There's one but you have to start one in every bar in the game.
― MPx4A, Friday, 4 June 2010 11:26 (thirteen years ago) link
seriously??
― The Clegg Effect (Tracer Hand), Friday, 4 June 2010 11:35 (thirteen years ago) link
i think this focus on "achievements" runs counter to marston's character. for instance i don't do any of the bounty hunts. what the fuck do i care? i'm basically a criminal myself. i just want to find william williamson.
― The Clegg Effect (Tracer Hand), Friday, 4 June 2010 11:37 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah, I guess it's kind of the nature of the beast with these games and their need for a compelling-ish narrative and also loads of freedom; cf Niko Bellic being all melancholy and disgusted at the world he's got dragged into but then being all "STAY DOWN OR I FUCKING KILL YOU" if you absent-mindedly punch some skinny jeans girl on a mobile phone in the street
― MPx4A, Friday, 4 June 2010 12:12 (thirteen years ago) link
By the way I'm pretty sure I shot Sam Elliot at close range in my last mission with him. He went "What the hell??"
Has anyone shot their buddies/guides in the game, i.e. Bonnie? I would imagine the game somehow prevents you from doing this since the story wouldn't work anymore.
― The Clegg Effect (Tracer Hand), Friday, 4 June 2010 12:18 (thirteen years ago) link
I mean, if you actually killed them.
I shot the shit out of the guy who accused me of cheating at poker, by the way. It was kind of understandable - on the very first hand I drew a backdoor straight and won more than 1000 chips!
― The Clegg Effect (Tracer Hand), Friday, 4 June 2010 12:19 (thirteen years ago) link
i was wondering about bar fights, had a feeling they'd be included. can you swing off the light fittings? i think i half heartedly tried jumping onto one at some point, just hit it and fell off i think.
came home a bit tipsy last night and played this as a huge murderous maniac, was fun. didn't save it.
good chance i'll be on this tonight
― Don't look at the finger (Ste), Friday, 4 June 2010 13:26 (thirteen years ago) link
*eek, in light of recent events perhaps slightly tasteless. apologies if anyone offended!
― Don't look at the finger (Ste), Friday, 4 June 2010 13:27 (thirteen years ago) link
I just bought this. Thinking of leaving work early.
― nate woolls, Friday, 4 June 2010 13:27 (thirteen years ago) link
There's an achievement for that too.

holy shit -- so uh, most graphic sex scene in a game ever?

Watched some of the gameplay vid on YT last night. I really need to play this.

dabbled in multiplayer some more tonight, pretty good. the whole 'are idiots going to be shooting me' seems to fit in the RDR wild west world more than most other games.
― Don't look at the finger (Ste), Saturday, 5 June 2010 00:58 (thirteen years ago) link
That;s an interesting thought; mixing up the idjits of the modern world with the idjits of the American West, who somehow found themselves with a firearm and decided to strike it out, like in an ill-fated Johnny Cash song.

kinda not reading this thread because i'm lame and want to finish the story without spoilers but just wanna say this game is a lot of fun
― sonderangerbot, Saturday, 5 June 2010 01:05 (thirteen years ago) link
I got the girl onto the boat with my sisters keeper with no problem; what exactly happened to you guys?
― I have been forks-style since day one (forksclovetofu), Saturday, 5 June 2010 05:07 (thirteen years ago) link
I was doing a big mission and my 360 crashed and I was like ARRRGH
― no turkey unless it's a club sandwich (polyphonic), Saturday, 5 June 2010 06:16 (thirteen years ago) link
Trying not to read much of this thread but I can tell yall that it took me an unreasonably long time to kill two cougars with a knife... even when I knew to shoot them first
― CaptainLorax, Saturday, 5 June 2010 08:49 (thirteen years ago) link
on my sisters keeper i kept taking the wrong turns, or driving the horses into obstacles. did it on about fifth try
crashed last night on the throwing knives bit. a bit peed off because the horse ride there was fucking sooo long.
― Don't look at the finger (Ste), Saturday, 5 June 2010 08:55 (thirteen years ago) link
Not enjoying the Mexico part of the storyline quite as much as the US. I think it's the characters, they're not quite as interesting, the Sam Elliot guy notwithstanding. And the English character was another way OTT, clichéd, unsubtle, unfunny caricature. One too many. Perhaps he, Oirish and that Welshman we saw briefly can have a scene all being unbearable together?
I didn't find My Sister's Keeper too difficult either, once I decided not bothering engaging with my pursuers and too just concentrate on the road.
One thing I like about Mexico: Bobcats!
― Born too beguiled (DavidM), Saturday, 5 June 2010 09:21 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah i think my problem was trying to kill the soldiers, which was in fact completely unneccessary it turns out.
― Don't look at the finger (Ste), Saturday, 5 June 2010 09:50 (thirteen years ago) link
watching Last of the Dogmen on five, which isn't great but it's full of horses, tall trees, and dusty lands. must. resist. turning. xbox. on..
― Don't look at the finger (Ste), Saturday, 5 June 2010 12:37 (thirteen years ago) link
I actually need to get out of sterotype mexico now as it's starting to irk and make me less interested in the game.
