Did anyone else

Spoiler:
lay waste to the cop's wife and brother?


or am I just sadistic?

Spoiler:
I hogtied them both and burned them to death with fire bottles. I also murdered the agent in Blackwater who gave me the location of his lake house. Jack Marston is a bad, bad man.

360 people, my console died shortly after this game came out, but it's back today! So if anybody's getting a posse together and you see me online, send me a holler.

odd glitch where certain things are invisible or not loading. or it's just a really exclusive poker table:

I know this has probably been brought up in the 50 or so pages in this thread but I really liked how the area with the oil was named Plainview. Nice nod to TWBB.

Yeah, I always dig that while riding through.

I didn't even notice that. Awesome.

I'm finally playing this game again and instead of going back to the single player, I decided to spend some time on the MP aspect. I was on Free Roam and just decided to do the gang hideouts by myself since I found most online players to be annoying and the fact that even if you join their posse, they take the time to shoot you for no particular reason again and again.

I agree most people in free roam are total dicks. One time I was doing a gang hideout and an 8 person posse came up and would not stop killing me. The dickface with the mic kept saying "leave no one wants you here". I was tickled at how stupid they were, but also pissed because they are running around fuckin with folks for no reason.

I like the game, but wish I had waited until the game was $30. I bought it for the multiplayer, but I haven't played it, and I hear it sucks.

The mp is fun, but you will have to deal with alot of BS. People being bastards and connection issues

I found the multiplayer to be a huge disappointment. Its always just a chaotic mess and isnt at all balanced.

Been playing this a lot over the weekend. Really wish the whole world was open from the start. I really want to hunt some bears. I finally got a bobcat which really was the highlight of my 4 hours of playing today.

Also, I doubt anyone does this but I cut off the cinema scenes before the missions. I did the same with GTAIV. I know this game got rave reviews but I find the cinematics to be incredibly boring. A lot of the characters are too much like caricatures. I really like just roaming around and hunting more than I do the actual missions.

I'm hoping next week's co-op pack adds something to the mp.

finally beat the game (though still not at 100%)

Spoiler:
thought the bit with the son taking over was a pretty cool twist. I was expecting him to get killed or kill the dad but after that barn shootout, which I assume there's no way to kill everyone, it made sense. still haven't found the last gang hideout, even though I've been to it.....it just doesn't trigger the event. according to the social club, it's the hideout up in the snow mountains. I thought I beat that one already, but it's not listed on my acheivements.

also, I now have to kill the bear with a knife which has been pretty rough. there are usually a shit ton of bears and wolves and I can't get a good angle. Also, I'll pull out my knife and then run a bit which puts the knife away and then when I go to swipe....nothing happens and I get pounced on.

Moreover, I haven't unlocked the white horse, though I've found some in the wild....but have been on the other side of the map and didn't feel like spending 15 minutes riding to the challenge. I've broken a lot of horses but never the white one. I also almost always lose duels which is frustrating since I'm supposed to be a badass.

I have a feeling the new mp missions are just going to be really long and boring. Hopefully it gives out more xp than the gang hideouts.

The gang hideouts are all located in the first 2 areas.

yeah, I realized it was the Solomon's Mine challenge or whatever it's called. I remember having done that in mp but didn't want to bother w/single player so I didn't retry when I died.

Spoiler:
Finally killed the bear. Good stuff.

also
Spoiler:
I'm not sure if it's a glitch or what, but I'll pass by a woman near the tall tree area in front of the store and she says her supply wagon or something was stolen and asks me to get it back.

I never find the wagon and the challenge just fizzles away. Anyone know where the stolen wagon is or if this is a glitch of some sort? It says to follow the road north and look out for buzzards or whatever, but I never find anything. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong spot. I'd expect it to save in my challenge thing, but if it's the same as "dude stole my horse" or whatever then I'd guess it's too small a challenge to count as a stranger or something like that.


also, anyone download the dlc stuff? I've heard there have been issues getting it to download. maybe that's fixed now.

Sounds like a glitch.

I downloaded the DLC but haven't even been able to get on to MP yet today.
