Sorry, guy.
Holy poo poo the griefing is epic.

2 streamers lassoed a gal as she came out of the butcher vendor and hogtied her. From then they just kept lassoing, tackling, hogtie-Ing, throwing her in camp fires, etc etc... for 10 straight minutes.

I got the "killin poor animals for no reason" confession before I'd even gone on a hunting trip. I shouldn't be blamed for rabbits throwing themselves in front of my horse all the time!

Same, those rabbits have issues,...And that herd of ducks taking flight that got completely mowed down was an accident, even if it was amusing!

Best spots for beaver and bison?

There are a shitload of Beaver and Muskrat at Owanjila Dam and its lake (also contains the Legendary Bass) just West of Strawberry.

Just skirt around the lake and you should see plenty of both. Cover Scent is nice for getting close, make sure you headshot Beavers with the Varmint to instakill them for the perfect pelt. There are also canoes that spawn around the lake and Beavers can be found swimming.

If you kill them while on a canoe I've found the game is generous in letting you pick up dead animals beside your boat without jumping in the water, as long as the corpse hasn't sunk. They seem to float for a minute and then sink so you have to make a bit of a rush for them at times.

On my second playthrough and I robbed my first train that wasn't attached to a story mission. Think I made out with $15-$20 worth of stuff and got a bounty of $200 or more? Most unrewarding thing I've ever done in the game I think, and I've been mauled by a cougar.

Was it a freight train or you just got unlucky with passengers?

You can still do most of them. The ones that are Arthur-only are Mary's chain, and then ones from chapter 6 that involve his change of perspective: Edith Downes, the Saint Dennis Priest & Nun, and I think the widow/Charlotte.

You can still do the widow missions as John, maybe only if you didn't meet her as Arthur though? Also if you beat up the zippy the pinhead guy in Van Horn as Arthur but don't do the followup you have to beat him up again as John.

Interested to know the actual details of the patch, I was going to try the Mexico/Guarma glitch to get some animals I missed and just explore a bit but I imagine they'd have patched that.

I wasn't expecting there to be as much story stuff to do in the multiplayer, the missions look really cool. I'm watching a streamer do a bounty hunt mission - you get matched with randos (or presumably can do it with friends) and when they found the bounty everyone had the choice to kill or spare him, which the players voted on.

Watching streams at work, did they speed up the running for PVP? Looks like it.

PVP looks kinda frustrating with lots of running and one shot kills.

Watching this guy, he was one of my favs for GTA online:

What story stuff is there? Watching streams and it seems like nothing other than randomized bounties and whatnot and pvp in cities. Them pulling gambling out of the game is lazy af too, i guess we need to buy shark cards for that or something

Thank God. I can go back to using my bearskin saddle.

I'm on Survivalist challenge 9 for catching a fish that weighs at least 19 lbs, but I only have a few legendary fish left and I have to progress the story a ways to unlock them. Can I complete this with a non-legendary fish? So far the biggest muskie I've caught was .2 lbs shy of the requirement.

I caught a normal 22 lb sturgeon in the swamp right next to lagras so i think so?

There was never going to be gambling online unless it was with some kind of currency that is completely untied to shark cards.

The gambling stuff being cut is probably because you'll be able to buy ingame money. And then it's practically gambling with real money and Rockstar needs to follow a ton of rules and regulations etc.

Pretty sure passive mode is in. What I mean is you can't start a solo/private server as you can in GTA Online.

To go quickly is foolish. To go slowly is prudent. Not to go; that is wisdom.
I've seen a tip that says that galloping doesn't cost stamina with you tap X "on time" or something like that. Any idea what is the rhythm?

Its supposed to be in step with your horse galloping I think. I never got it down quite right and ended up losing stamina anyway.

Ive never been able to find the mythical zero stamina rhythm but I find that tapping the button in time with the jangle of the spurs strikes a good balance between speed and energy.

That's reassuring. The private server thing is a bummer but I suppose passive mode will help if you just want to gently caress off and shoot badgers.

Welp, I beat Chapter 6 this morning. I got the ending where I just crawl off and watch the sunset after Micah and Dutch leave me after helping John escape. Is this the good ending?

I find it kinda funny that you even have the choice to go after the money at the end since Arthur spends most of Chapter 6 trying to convince Abigail and John to leave. Arthur knows he's dying, the hell is he gonna do with the money anyway?

Arthur was a great character. I really enjoyed playing him and seeing his arc. I mostly played him as a good guy and someone that was resigned to his fate at the end of the his story.
Looking forward to the next part!
