anonymo May 19, 2010 Author Share anonymo Member May 19, 2010 Got a few hours in yesterday, very fun so far. I would be down for a GC posse at some point, although will have to arrange a headset of some kind. Haven't played online with my PS3 at all yet. boiler_12 is my, um, gamertag? what does sony call it? Just about any bluetooth headset should work I got mauled by a cougar...and I'm not talking about my weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boiler May 19, 2010 Share boiler Member May 19, 2010 I got mauled by a cougar...and I'm not talking about my weekend I had an obscure joke for this, but thought better of it. Only died a couple of times from riding my horse off the side of a cliff accidentally. Haven't seen any large wild animals yet, though have broken a couple of horses, shot a few coyotes and deer at full gallop, and crushing a gang of baddies in a town in 4 seconds with dead-eye. Awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackieChan May 19, 2010 Share JackieChan GC Alumni May 19, 2010 Stupid horse. I call for it so I can get away from a posse trying to arrest me so I call for it, I try to jump on it in style and the horse's trajectory was going off the cliff so I died.

Jiffy May 22, 2010 Share Jiffy Member May 22, 2010 I am just about to head into mexico in the SP and ding 15 in MP. gold rush is quite fun, free roam can be amusing, and a few of the other modes are actually enjoyable if the team works together. posse up!

3vil May 22, 2010 Share 3vil Member May 22, 2010 I've been looking at this,but would like to know more about it.are you guys happy with it?pro's and con's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiffy May 22, 2010 Share Jiffy Member May 22, 2010 It is a rock star game, so that should explain a lot there. The side missions are of a certain set, with some really random ones thrown in there that cut scenes make worth while. The writing of the game is quite good and often times amusing/realistic conversations. The main story line is somewhat predictable, but the game play definitely makes up for it with excitement. multi-player is fun, I am unsure if the free roam mode is based off internet matching and only a handful are in your session at once? But the actual game types of gold rush, gang matches, etc. are quite enjoyable. con? it is quite a large area. so be prepared to ride your horse, everywhere. They have stagecoaches which are the equivalent of taxi's, but can be pricey until your honor increases. ( this con might actually be a pro... beautiful world, with lots to see ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VooDooPC May 22, 2010 Share VooDooPC Member May 22, 2010 Who else is playing on the 360 so we could maybe get a match going next week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boiler May 24, 2010 Share boiler Member May 24, 2010 I toyed with buying it for 360, but no other xbots spoke up, so I think most of us are on the PS3 with this. On a side note, didn't get to play at all this weekend since I was out of town. I'm jonesin' bad, man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EbilDustBunny May 24, 2010 Share EbilDustBunny GC Alumni May 24, 2010 I've been looking at this,but would like to know more about it.are you guys happy with it?pro's and con's? This game is so glitchy! but it still manages to be fun! kinda expectant for a GTA-ish game to be glitchy so it only bothered me a little. Like you get stuck on people. or like this time I was riding shotgun in a cart and killed another guy in a cart in front of me and the NPC wouldn't drive around and was driving into it.... i tried to get out and move the other cart but it wouldn't give me to option to drive it. I ended up running away from the mission to restart it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymo May 25, 2010 Author Share anonymo Member May 25, 2010 I regret not getting the 360 version now... Glitches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boiler May 25, 2010 Share boiler Member May 25, 2010 Cougar Man!! Honestly, I haven't run into any big glitches yet (just got to Mexico last night, you might be farther than I am). Still having a blast, and really enjoy the random encounters while crossing the countryside. I do, however, want to punch that stupid reporter in the face. Also, have yet to see a cougar. Where all my cougars at?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VooDooPC May 25, 2010 Share VooDooPC Member May 25, 2010 (edited) I've seen a bunch of glitches too. Nothing as crazy as bird people, but like people that are on paths that clearly should be riding horses, just running at full speed on the paths. Or people walking in place and not moving. Then there is all the stuff like Ebil was saying, getting stuck on every wall, box, and person because your guys has to have some weird animation to get by and around stuff. And the cover system which hardly works indoors and some doors you can peak around but can't even shoot. Or the classic being behind cover at a door and someone is shooting at you from an angle and you can't aim at them because if you do, you are staring at the wall. Edit: Cougars are in the New Austin area. If you haven't haven't seem them yet, you are lucky! Edited May 25, 2010 by VooDooPC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiffy May 25, 2010 Share Jiffy Member May 25, 2010 There is also cougars in Mexico, unless he glitched just to chase me. I have only had like 2 video glitches, one requiring a mission restart, but overall not bad. I just got to blackwater after the main mexico mission. The story is fairly good, be prepared for lots and lots of riding back and forth in mexico though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiffy May 26, 2010 Share Jiffy Member May 26, 2010 Don't be too eager to finish the main story line like me...it now means I have to go back and pick plants on sw mexico when I am on my home ranch in the NE of America. sigh.... 20+ hours of gameplay, only 77.5% done. main story complete. Now I am doing random farm missions with my son, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VooDooPC May 26, 2010 Share VooDooPC Member May 26, 2010 Right now I am 20 hours in and around 57% complete. I just did the last mission I could for the general guy and am just starting to do missions for Luisa. I have no idea how far that is story wise.

Jiffy May 28, 2010 Share Jiffy Member May 28, 2010 I finished the entire SP story and am only 80% done. wow, what an epic ending. very fun game. Now I have to go back and do all the damn challenges....stupid plants in nosilida! i hit lvl 27 in MP, and am having a pretty good time. We need to posse up and start knocking out those challenges. Some are quite amusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VooDooPC May 29, 2010 Share VooDooPC Member May 29, 2010 I finished the game last night, to the credits. 1 day, 1 hour, 15 minutes. 87.4% Complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackieChan May 31, 2010 Share JackieChan GC Alumni May 31, 2010 Just finished it now. Pretty fun game although the single player seemed short to me although I put like 20 hours or so into it. GTA IV seemed to be a lot longer than this one. Think it took me almost double the time to beat GTA. End Game (post credits) Spoiler: Kind of anti-climatic ending to me... During the last shootout after fending off all the soldiers, I shot the government guy, like 3 times in the face, then during that cutscene, he's alive again. It's nice that you're able to do that side-mission to get your revenge as the son, but the whole a duel isn't what I would have done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VooDooPC May 31, 2010 Share VooDooPC Member May 31, 2010 I think this game took me about the same length of time as GTA IV to beat. I have the achievement in GTA IV that is beat it in under 30 hours, sooo... I must have beaten it in under 30 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
