It does seem so that while you're on your farm, doing the Home Life missions, you can't change clothes, and therefore, not enter into the High Stakes mission. Though it's a bit of a spoiler for some, the minor few holding out for PC, I wonder what you should try to do as John before the tables turn in the plot, if it matters, per se

Well the reasons for no change of costumes are obvious - johns done with all that. He's home. End of.

 

Then TLETSBD, and the 'handover' where youre given freeroam again, and the return of clothes.

 

I actually like jack - apart from his annoyances (ya damn nag). Shame they never built on that. Wouldn't have minded a dlc like thst

[Lurch]

So thanks to 'our oh so great forum leader murdoc™', I got undead nightmare, beat the majority of it and got all 5 legendar horses all in just yesterday. Maybe have another couple hours of doing the few challenges left to get 100%.

[Mister Pink]

I've unlocked the Bureau uniform, NICE! What all can I get away with? Any crimes?

 

Yep. You can get away with any crime. Obviously, if you draw on and start firing at someone, they will fire back out of self defense, but you will never gain a bounty or have law enforcement follow you.

How do you get the Bureau uniform? sounds cool.

You have to get 100% completion in singleplayer.

[Slamman]

Basically after the credits role in the main story is when I got mine, I don't have everything done, but the main story and the missions for Strangers is a good thing to focus on

 

If you're concerned, do things as John Marston that you think work best in that character, without spoiling the twist at the end, I think everyone reading here has figured out that Roman Bellic dies (in one storyline), correct?? hahaha

 

@Lurch, THANKS EVA SO MUCH for your tip with Blackjack, I did it with two wins in a row and stopped playing, It gave me what I needed! NICE NICE NICE!!

I just went into a free roam game and went up to Cochinay where a posse was hanging out, just to see what the fuzz was, I was then fired upon and killed. After a bit of retaliation I was sent a message by the posse leader containing these exact words: 'u r tresspassing on NWE territory, please leave emidetly'. I just laughed at it then carried on shooting them.

 

Also, does anyone have any advice for winning $1000 in gambling to get the Savvy Merchant outfit? I tried Five Finger Fillet but I always end up losing even though it seems easy after a while.

I'm stuck here as well. Ithink I'm just going to stick to poker and liar's dice. They're much, much more time consuming, but I think they give an easier big payout.

[Mince]

For winning $1000 on gambling, I think that one of the stranger missions asks you to go to Thieve's Landing and play Liar's Dice, and when you do it gives you $200 for winning? At least that's how I think I did it to get the outfit. Savvy Merchant Outfit is pretty neat looking.

 

edit- Yes, in the mission "Lights, Camera, Action" the ante for Liar's Dice is $200, so you can easily win $1000 by playing multiple games. I didn't see if you've already gotten 100% though, sorry if you did and this isn't helpful.

Stranger mission is part of the SPATCHCOCK one, where the guy in Armadillo wants to build a Hollywood style movie studio not far from the town, but of course, he moves a bit closer to Blackwater later on! With luck being down and not out.

 

The cost of Liar's Dice entry is $200, don't you wind up winning amount based on the amount of players present? Typically 2, sometimes it's a one on one game.

 

Well, regarding the Freeroam Cochiney experience, that is not an unusual occurrence, I hung out with a met-up posse in RDR MP for a long time, session after session, but once I fired on someone they knew, I was ostracized over this disagreement, I still keep friends with some from that posse, but yeah, STRANGE things are known to happen in the LIVE RDR experience!! Fo' Sho'!

My brother can't play RDR mp on his account because he is underage? WTF? (PS3)

[Slamman]

Can't really argue with that. If you're under age, wait a few years. We all have to

[Moth]

Did your parents put in parental controls? Cause that could be it.

No. In fact I checked it and I put No on it. But still he can't play.

[Slamman]

My post count going up? Can't be, it's in the negative!

BTW, never spelled Business "Bussiness", I used to miss the "I", but that's long ago

I had horrible spelling as a kid, horrible

Anyway, why shouldn't they be allowed to enforce the online network? Most complaints come on about people too young to play, I got a lot of feedback from who I used to posse up with, I didn't care about age in-game, MP, as long as they were playing MP as it's supposed to be, and I enjoyed myself, so I'm not particularly one way or another, but it could be they're just making more strict passage, enforcing what was in a EULA perhaps, but people tend to overlook agreeing to them face-value

Dude, what the hell is wrong with you? I've already told you that it is the amount of posts you made TODAY. As seen here:

http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?&act=Stats

Stop harrasing me for god sake.

It's not that difficult to understand. And I didn't say anything about how you spell Bussiness.

 

In case you are blind:

Anyways, I don't really think they would make online more strict. They are limiting what someone can do with the game they payed for.

[SmC12]

Is your brother part of R* Games Social Club? Don't they have an age verification when registering on that? It could have flagged him as underage. I've never heard of it happening before though, maybe it's a new thing from Sony.

[Slamman]

What I still dislike is that in the Multiplayer MP section, when you shoot someone and collect Achievement for killing someone who's a Rockstar gamer online, there's no way of knowing if they collected that 'bounty', and are not actually Rockstar employees, is there? It seems that no matter who collects that, when you kill THEM, you also get the award/reward

 

Coin God, it's in the negative, many people have seen it and asked ME about it, like I have a say, and quit watching post count, that in an of itself is moronic, there's better things you can do with your time.

 

BACK TO THE TOPIC:

I was thinking as I was playing, Why haven't we asked everyone who's played it, what is your favorite quote or quotes from the game's peds?

One of my favorites is "You keep talkin' bout this person and that person", in the African American accent, for lack of a better word, mix in the old West flavoring and it's just funny in it's own context, basically the guy is not pleased with the engaged conversation. There's a few things that are like this, contradiction in convo was a common feature of GTA SA based in it's simple ped design, in RDR we see it really nicely evolved!

Started a new playthrough the other night after I hadn't touched it since release (also got the ending spoiled for me before I even got the game)

 

Really enjoying it so far, I've spent a sh*t load of time hunting and I've only finished the Pikes Basin mission with the law in Armadillo. Already on about level 5 of the hunter challenges, about 4/5 on the marksman and only about 2 on the herbs since I'm not really that bothered about them. I'm hoping this time around when I get to Tall Trees I'll actually be able to kill all of the Buffalo since I had a bunch of f*cking NPC's come over and join the killing party so I never unlocked the achievement.

[Slamman]

Yeah?! The ending was spoiled from this forum when reports of ROMAN DIES came up, I remember well, but at least there were multiple endings, for playing Undead Nightmare, I don't think much of anything was spoiled, for me, anyway, I enjoyed it. It was a bit tough at the end, the BOSS mission! haha

 

I like leaving the buffalo on the range for awhile, when you and the professor ride that way to Cochiney, he comments on them if they are found roaming in the general area, it's always a bit of a laugh that you're tasked with hunting them to extinction!

Have any of you guys had an issue with the aiming system after playing for a couple hours? I ran into it yesterday after playing for about 3 hours I think. It would aim at birds/things at the start, then after the 3 hours it just decides that it won't auto aim on ANYTHING. No matter what the object I'm trying to aim it at, it just wouldn't lock on. I tried changing the settings on the aiming but it still wouldn't work properly. I kept playing with it since I got kind of engrossed in the story but is there anyway to fix this other than saving and turning off/on the 360?

[Mokrie Dela]

i haven't had that. Try turning off auto aiming completey, play for five minutes then turn it back on to whatever you usually had it on.

 

[Slamman]

In the final showdown where the Army faces off with John, I've only done it once thus far, as my other saved games have less of the challenges complete, but you do go into Dead Eye, I wonder, can you get any progress doing that, or say, using your health you have stored on you, bottles to restore dead eye? I think it happens too fast, but in my anxiety, I had pressed the button to enter Dead Eye and Exit in a split second time frame, so it was just by accident that I didn't get any Dead Eye shots off, so.... is it basically that ineffective?

 

Remember not to out-right spoil the end for anyone

It only seemed to happen on MP to me. On SP works perfect everytime.

I wasted alot of hours on MP so far, I'm advancing slowly on the Storyline (Dosn't help knowing the ending). It's really fun.

[Rebel]

I've always gotten sidetracked with the challenges or some of the stranger missions to continue on the story. Last night I got really distracted because I'd just gotten into Mexico and before I even started any missions I'd ran into about 20 wolves all running in packs. I'd literally kill 5, halfway through skinning them and then boom another pack of 5-7 would come around. I've saved all the other animals that you can get in Mexico and going to sell them in Armadillo or somewhere over in the US since you get more money.

[AceRay]

I've just theorized something amazing.

 

Spoilers

 

What if Jack is Dutch's son? Think about it. Abigail was slept with all the gang and adult Jack's facial feature look strikingly similar to Dutch's rather than John's. John has no way of knowing Jack isn't his son and loves Abigail so he takes him.

 

Hell, there's even a line of dialogue where its basically told out loud: "Abigail was any man's wife! And Jack, he was any man's son!" If this doesn't prove it, I don't know what will. The only biological child of John is his daughter, meaning the Marston bloodline is obliterated.

[G The Generous]

^ agree

from the first time I saw adult Jack face, the only thing I thought about was Dutch's face too

I don't remember Dutch saying this dialogue at all. He said, during the mission of Great Mean are Not Always Wise, that they all had Abigail when she was riding with them in their gang. He was mocking John for marrying a whore, but I don't remember him saying that Jack is any man's son. Even so, that's another mock. I think we're just creating more dimensions for the story that don't really exist, or even thought of by the story writers.

 

[Linki]

But why would Jack have all the abilities that John has? I refuse to believe this, it just makes me so upset to think the Marston bloodline has ended ;_;

what abilities? Shooting and horse riding? They're pretty common among people in that era. Plus john brought jack up, so he would take after him.

 

jury's still out imo on jack's father. I think it is john, but i cant say for definiite.
