clearing your hard drive's cache does indeed fix the wagon glitch

5/24/2010 5:02:14 PM

speaking of wagons and coaches, do you run into special random events when hiring a coach to travel to another town/location? I'm just wondering if it's worth riding shotgun and sitting back during the ride or just automatically skipping to the destination

5/24/2010 5:03:44 PM

Poker is a crapshoot if you don't cheat b/c the other players will randomly play absolutely anything.

5/24/2010 5:06:07 PM

sometimes when you ride shotgun, it will let you have a shooting contest at birds for like $25

5/24/2010 5:36:12 PM

guess i rammed one too many one-man carriages with my horse

fucker just collapsed on that last one

Tall Trees, West elizabeth, near the river.

Also, if anyone wants to drop their honor really fast, bribing cops gives you -400 honor every time you do it. And robbing women gives you -100 honor and +50 fame every time.

5/24/2010 6:38:25 PM

wheres the best place to find Wild Boar

I found a couple by a lake a few days ago but can't remember where

[Edited on May 24, 2010 at 7:32 PM. Reason : haha I just bought some hot Mexican chick for $200]

5/24/2010 7:28:58 PM

lol the mission started and this guy was fucking this fat mexican girl

^^ North of Bonnies ranch near the tops of the hills. I only find them there about one third of the time though.

Just stay on your toes and don't get too close to the tree line or a mountain lion will eat your ass.

5/24/2010 8:00:30 PM

so there are actual "mountain lions" ... ive seen a lot of cougars but never have i seen the term mountain lion

5/24/2010 8:25:45 PM

I am about 100% sure that mountain lion and cougar to are two names for the same animal.

[Edited on May 24, 2010 at 8:41 PM. Reason : /]

5/24/2010 8:40:51 PM

ok that's fine

i wanted to make sure there wasn't yet another mountain cat that i had yet to encounter ... because i just found a bobcat for the first time a couple hrs ago and im now about 60% through the game

5/24/2010 8:51:34 PM

Anyone got a $5000 bounty?

I spent like 20 minutes mowing people down with a machine gun on top of a save house in Mexico, and it seemed to get stuck at $808

5/24/2010 9:06:44 PM

I was doing multiplayer and got a wanted level after shooting a mexican soldier at their little base in Mexico.

I hung out at the top of a flight of stairs and got up to about $3k just by shooting everyone who walked up the steps. I'm sure that I could have gotten to 5k, I just didn't know about that accomplishment at the time.

5/24/2010 9:36:56 PM

^ I think you have to do it in SP, because as a far as I know to get the achievement you have to submit a letter of pardon for a 5K bounty and it doesn't seem like you can submit letters of pardon in MP. Maybe I am wrong though.

5/24/2010 9:40:02 PM

Yeah, you're right. Forgot about the letter of pardon.

Where do you get new ones? I accidently blew the one from Irish to get rid of a $20 bounty after I ran over a deputy with my horse.

5/24/2010 9:44:00 PM

I have the MAX amount of letters of pardon in my possession haha.

5/24/2010 9:49:53 PM

me too




damn, i accidentally the california guy and failed.

[Edited on May 24, 2010 at 9:51 PM. Reason : ]

5/24/2010 9:51:16 PM

Just keep playing you'll get one eventually.

5/24/2010 9:52:32 PM

Doesn't the crazy grave-digger bro give you one?

Or maybe I'm thinking of Irish.

5/24/2010 9:53:11 PM

If I had to pick one thing to gripe about in this game it's that it's FAAAAAR too easy to accidentally threaten someone. I was just trying to lasso a horse, and this guy walks in between me and the horse, and all of the sudden thinks I'm trying to rob him. So he pulls on me and fires. I immediately got a $5 bounty. In order to try not to make it worse (and because it's retardedly hard to change weapons without dying if someone has pulled on you up close) I lassoed him and hogtied him up. All of the sudden my bounty is up to $55 and there are like 5 sheriff icons on the map. I don't even get a chance to whistle for my horse before I'm dead. All because some dumbass AI decided to walk in front of where I was already lassoing. This is like the 3rd time something like this has happened to me today. I just wish you had to make a more pronounced effort to rob someone or be able to turn off the option to do that or something. It's beyond frustrating.

5/24/2010 10:29:40 PM

be a man and handle it

5/24/2010 10:35:04 PM

Holy fuck...was just out wandering the desert, shooting some birds and goats and shit, when a pack of eleventy thousand wolves converges on me from some tall grass. Fuckers ripped my arm off.

5/24/2010 10:42:13 PM

^^^sounds like you suck at this game

I'm AstralAdvent and i approved this message.

5/24/2010 10:48:19 PM

I did the 5k bounty the other day. I went onto the roof across from the police station in blackwater and sniped someone and then just killed the cops as they got to the top of the fire escape. When I eventually got to 5k I just climbed down the other ladder, ran across the rooftops, and rode outta town. Takes a fucking long time though, so I ran away to save a couple times and repeated the process.

5/24/2010 11:08:23 PM

Finally started multiplayer today, almost entirely in free roam...

My big problem is the spawn-killing. If some asshole kills you, he's quite likely to hang around and keep killing you every time you come back to life. Especially annoying if the other fucker has a sniper rifle.

Even now, having advanced to level 14, we can't hold off. Someone's always on a ridge with a sniper rifle, or flush with Dead Eye power, and in either case escape is impossible -- even if all we're trying to do is run away.

Although I must say, when we do escape, posse-ing up can be fun. So I will keep trying.

5/25/2010 3:53:54 AM

Now I know why they call it Bear Claw Camp

5/25/2010 3:56:07 AM

Can you duel without firing all of your bullets into the guy?

5/25/2010 4:04:20 AM

Yes

The logic in poker is absolutely amazing. If there are two aces on the flop, the AI will think it has a "pair of aces" and will bet and raise to no end, even with nothing to improve beyond a pair of aces.

Oh well, I found a guy last night that kept playing five finger no matter how many times I beat him, so I racked up probably about $800-$900 because it was the same pattern every time.

You only have to fire one at his hand/gun and you will disarm him and win the duel. At least that's what I've done every time.

5/25/2010 8:33:50 AM

So if you cause a ruckus in town do you have to escape and travel to another train/telegraph office in order to pay off the bounty or pardon yourself? I put the bandana on last night and went on a killing spree in 'dillo killing everyone in the bar and then holing myself up in the train station blasting marshals when they came through the door with my double barreled shotgun. but when i went to drop a pardon letter i couldn't. i imagine the office worker fled and that's why?

5/25/2010 11:18:49 AM

haha thats probably a reasonable assumption when you are shooting up everyone in there....i think if you leave town and come back you can use it.

5/25/2010 11:22:26 AM

I also noticed the bandana works both ways...meaning if you do good deeds your fame goes unnoticed.

i forgot I had it on when I saved this woman from being murdered in Armadillo and I didn't get any fame for it.

5/25/2010 11:23:24 AM

have you guys experimented with the execution animations with the various weapons? I always seem to get them more on accident than anything. Do they trigger automatically when you are close to the victim? I accidently slit a guys throat with my knife after i hogtied him and i've seen ones using my revolver into the guy's chest and another with the sawed-off shotgun

5/25/2010 11:28:49 AM

man those grizzlies can eat a dick

5/25/2010 1:04:50 PM

^^i can't remember which gun it was, but i think the guy was on his knees and john walked up to him, put it under his chin and pulled the trigger

5/25/2010 1:37:09 PM

i think he might do that more with the rifles

5/25/2010 1:38:04 PM

what weapons are yall rolling with? i use the semi automatic 7-shot pistol, the semi auto shotgun, and whatever the 5-shot rifle is...im waiting to get the buffalo rifle!

5/25/2010 3:29:09 PM

i'm still early on, mission-wise. so i'm still rocking the volcanic pistol, winchester repeater, sawed-off shotty

5/25/2010 3:35:33 PM

bolt action rifle is my fave...until i run out of ammo

5/25/2010 3:44:39 PM

i just gave the dude his 10 red sage, 5 beaver furs and 20 feathers, this glider witnessing better be worth it

5/25/2010 3:45:38 PM

LOL from another forum

Quote :

"If you pull out your knife and crouch over someone hogtied you can slit their throat. You can drop someone who is hogtied into some water and watch them drown. You can cook someone who's hogtied on a campfire. Placing a hogtied individual in the wilderness and covering them with bait helps feed the forest animals."

5/25/2010 3:50:08 PM

ive done the drowning one

ive tried the campfire one but i can never get them dropped into the fire .... once though, i pushed that "I know you" stranger that always says "go john..go" into the fire setting him ablaze, and he freaked out then lived and walked away lol

5/25/2010 3:52:40 PM

On one of the missions where I had to drive around the crazy exhumer in a wagon, some enemies hit the wagon with a molotov, and I drove the majority of the mission with a flaming wagon, while my passenger was also on fire...luckily he didn't seem to mind

also when i'm walking around outside IRL, i like to look for Prickly Pears, Desert Sage, etc

[Edited on May 25, 2010 at 3:59 PM. Reason : .]

5/25/2010 3:58:35 PM

btw speaking of whether or not its worth stopping to skin an animal

you can pick up ammunition from your horse, if you guys didnt know

so if you don't care about someone's $4 and you just want their 7 repeater rounds, you can stay on your horse

5/25/2010 4:01:16 PM

he had like 4 king high straights and/or flushes
