While I found the first area's story/characters pretty annoying, I'll admit the Mexico story hits a better stride. Mostly, I'm glad your character is pretty actively disgusted with Abraham Reyes, who himself is an ambiguous enough character I can get behind him. Also, Luisa. I'm Kind of sad you don't get an option of killing Abraham and letting Luisa lead the rebels. We'll see how West Elizabeth plays out tomorrow I guess...

I checked basically all over the place, from Tall Trees up to the tip of the Basin. I also watched a few Youtube videos and followed them exactly, and still nothing. I tried leaving, resting, saving, etc and then coming back, but still no sign. One time there were a few packs of wolves that spawned, and I killed all of them, but still no pop. I figure if I turn the game off and go back to it tomorrow he'll show up right away.

So I'm pretty fed up with the game. I beat it and now I'm just playing to finish up all of the Ambient Challenges/Stranger stuff. Everytime I get anywhere, with any of them (say pick up 4 or more flowers, collect 3 or more pelts/whatevers), I get bum rushed by a large squad of bad guys who mow me the gently caress down before I can even get my gun out to go into Dead Eye mode, or a pack of 4+ loving bears. Seriously, I was off my horse picking up a flower (5th of 10), and I hear a bear roar not far off, and it's a pack of 6 of them running at me in a flying V formation, once again, not even enough time to get my gun out before I get knocked over and killed. And then I spawn on the other side of the map. This has happened 7 or 8 times. It's like the "random difficulty" sky rocketed after completion. I'm just really fed up and I don't want to play any more. Probably will sell my copy since I can't get anywhere at all with it.

I rode into town, shot up a bunch of people, rode out of town, shot all cops but one, rode out of their circle. About 10 times. Waited around in town a few times too. Marshalls never seemed to stumble on me. Sleeping I did not do though.

John Marston 4, Cougars 0 John Marston at least 20, Wolves 0 (except for killing one of my horses, which explains the amount I have killed so far in a fit of rage).  I really love the way Cougars pounce on you/ your horse. The fact they hunt in pairs just makes it loving awesome.

There was a distinct GTA 4 flavor to a lot of the missions (ride horse/drive car to mission start while people talk about boring poo poo, then find cover and shoot dudes until all the dudes are dead), I found the side missions/activities a lot more enjoyable than GTA 4 (which I never finished because it got so samey), though admittedly this may be solely due to the setting.

king teh posted:This is exactly what i am worried about, tell me there are some really cool varietous missions a la san andreas I will be honest with you, I am having difficulty thinking of any story missions that stand out as anything other than watching a cutscene, riding a horse/stagecoach to the destination (possibly shooting people from back of said horse or stagecoach), then shooting a bunch of guys and then watching another cutscene. In my opinion it's worth a rent or addition to a Gamefly queue, not really a purchase unless you really really like Westerns (this is me), or really really liked GTA 4. The non-story stuff is enjoyable but dries up quick, and multiplayer is mostly spawning only to have someone snipe you ad infinitum (unless you have friends to play with, but I can still see it getting old quick). Though there is a pack of free co-op missions coming out in a couple weeks, so we'll see how that goes.

But you have to complete old west flight school (strapping hawks to your arms) to get to the third island, and most people find it too hard and give up. It's the old west dude. Other than shooting people, stealing poo poo, and defending poo poo, what more do you want?

Yeah, I was going to post a less creative yet equally sarcastic response. If the idea of riding around a gorgeous recreation of the wild west doesn't get you excited then you're probably not going to enjoy this game. Most missions are some form of a shootout, a standoff, a building/town clearing, or a chase. Like Joker said, it's the wild west, and if doing those things doesn't float your boat then no, there isn't much variety in missions. VDay fucked around with this message at 11:18 on Jun 1, 2010 |

The best fun in this game is just riding around the beautiful areas and looking for poo poo to do. The little stuff is what really sells it. poo poo like treasure hunting and whatnot. Plus I think its a lot faster to get through than GTA IV. I kind of wish for a game that looks/feels like this but in a fantasy setting like Morrowind style. If Oblivion had gotten the horse riding and the way the towns/country feels like then that would be heaven for me.

/\/\/\Hell yeah, this is the first Rockstar game I've not only gotten 100% on, but actually WANTED to get 100% What the hell do you need to do to get a gold rating in a combat mission? I was replaying some short, early missions in an attempt to gold them, but even getting Political Realities in Armadillo down to 3 minutes, 90% accuracy and 4 headshots on expert aim isn't moving me past bronze.

Do one where you go through slow, and get 100% accuracy, all headshots. Then do one where you just run through it as fast as you possibly can. Political Realities In Armadillo is the one to do it on. If you can get 100% in under 3 minutes you'll get the gold.

Same with cougars, I guess if it was just one it might take a bit of the thrill out of it. I mean keeping your gun on one bear is ok but any more than that then poo poo, panic stations. The hunter has become the hunted.. which is awesome.

Got 30 kills 0 deaths on Grab the Bag in Tumbleweed. There's a cannon on one of the roofs in the middle of the town, the enemy team kept spawning in one place, I kept blowing them up. I completed the challenge "Kill Streak while Near Death" as a few of them tried to kill me. This let my team capture the bag 4 times with no resistance. Sure it was probably infuriating to be on their team but I was having too much fun.

Late game mission spoilers Good work on finding Dutch and taking out him and his gang in one of the most badass shootouts ever. Now you can go home and spend 2 hours doing boring poo poo like herding cattle (you thought we'd spend time programming that mechanic and only force you to do it once? Joke's on you, dipshit!), shooting crows, and driving a stagecoach to deliver some loving corn. Seems like they forgot to cram all the lovely missions in until the game was almost done then decided "gently caress it let's make them do all the boring missions at once"

I don't disagree, most of that poo poo was boring, but I still feel San Andreas had way more crappy missions. And they weren't just tedious, a lot of them were extremely frustrating.

For me it was Bonnie's drat voice during the first couple of herding missions. At the end of the game, the last herding mission was actually kind of cool. Uncle may be one of the best characters in that game. Also, being able to choose between helping the herd or saving the train was fun.

I got 100% and since I don't care about spending the effort necessary to get platinum, and didn't find multiplayer much to my liking, I am by and large done with this game after about 35 hours. There's nothing left to do, and there's no replay value because everything will be the same in repeated playthroughs. I really wish I had rented it. Don't get me wrong, I loved almost every second of it, but I don't think I'll be playing much at all now that I've seen and done everything. Though the 10 dollar Gamestop gift card I got for preordering let me get God of War 3 for 10 bucks when it was on sale for 19.99 for a couple hours the other day. That was pretty cool.

I'm quite easygoing about my expectations from games until they do something really horrible that just ruins it (for example, forced combat in a silent hill game). Many small botherations won't stop me from playing a game, especially if there are good things to balance it. There are a number of things I could complain about in RDR, but I've played it for nearly 40 hours now and I really enjoyed most of it. The only thing about the game which truly annoyed me was that whenever you end a mission, you're just dumped in the middle of nowhere, far away from the next mission. You should at least have gotten an option like, "Accompany De Santa back to Escalera?" rather than getting abandoned in Torquemada or a train bridge or wherever, usually halfway across the map.
