    Making good progress, nearly at the end of World 1 I think, just have to do Irish's missions.

    Only one freeze thus far, a duel in Armadillo, can anyone else confirm that's a trouble spot? I've heard a few people talk about it.

    Is there a way to voluntarily get dudes to want to duel you aside from cheating at poker?

    I find walking slowly through town, shouldering through people, and glaring menacingly does the trick pretty often.

    Ive gotten in all of my duels from walking by the saloons.

    I got my Duster outfit tonight via a duel in Armadillo. Nothing happened to me. 360 version.

    It drives me up the wall when I'm playing in multiplayer and im taking cover by a corner, and when I peak out, for whatever reason my gun doesnt draw up, and I don't shoot at all, promptly getting shot in the face repeatedly. Im guessing its because Im hidden too far behind the wall, but if thats the case, don't let me pop out then.

    In America land I went to Wal-Mart yesterday morning, bought a copy of Unforgiven on Blu-Ray and asked the lady for one of those card decks. Score...probably going to go back some night and get another one.


    Also, I guess there's no way to get your own stagecoach? Even getting a buggy that has a capacity of one would suffice.

    Yeah man, I was suprised because JB usually sell games for like $79 or $85 at release for about a week and Dickies usually have horrendous prices on games in general. I did call my local Dickies first though and they said copies of RDR are due in on the 24th :?

    I'm terrible at poker in this game, but I can't stop playing it. I love how players have tells, too. The general store shopkeeper in Armadillo bluffs when he has good cards, trying to goad you into betting big.

    I tried cheating at poker for the first time earlier today, as well. That is damn hard. I got caught and challenged to a duel. I didn't want to kill the man because he's a regular at the table, so I shot the gun out of his hand. I'm going to have to try that in all duels from now on.

    Am I the only one who doesn't like the second level of Dead Eye? I don't like how it automatically places an 'x' for a shot by just moving the crosshair over someone or something. I often end up marking their damn horses when I move my crosshair around to get a shot. If I want to shoot their gun out of their hand it's even harder. Does the third level let me mark my shots manually with a button press?

    The third level basically restores you to level 1 dead eye, but you also have the ability to manually place the level-2-style marks by pressing RB.

    Yes, you mark manually with Dead Eye 3.

    So... I got max loyalty from my first horse after about 1 hr of play. I've ridden this newer, prettier horse for 8+ hours now, and I haven't seen a single loyalty message. What's that about?

    Also, I just picked up a tan horse with a two tone (tan/black) mane and tail. It is awesome looking. I sure wish there was an easy way to find out what kind of fucking horse you're riding.

    This. I wish you could bring up a menu and see just exactly what horse you're riding and its stats. I haven't really bothered to tame wild horses so far because I have no idea if they're actually better than my own or not. I'm contemplating buying the three star, golden horse from Armadillo, though. I almost have enough money for it.

    I'm not sure how random it is or what, but for a time I had a golden horse taken from...Marcitello? something like that...that little camp where one of the first bounties pops up, between Armadillo and the ranch.

    I stop in the middle of the desert for some swanky looking fuck (should have been my first clue) and as soon as I get off of my horse, without a word, he jacks it. So I blast him in the shoulder and he falls off. He gets back up and gets back on the horse. I shot him into the next fucking universe, but I still lost 50 honor for it.

    I've had this happen a few times. I didn't lose honor for it, though. The little side-quest probably didn't initiate for you, perhaps. Usually they stop you and say, "Please, mister! I need a ride! I've been stranded here!" Then they jack your horse, laugh maniacally as they ride away, before being silenced as they fall to the ground cold.

    A damn prostitute did this to me out in the middle of the desert. I felt bad for killing a female NPC. That was the first woman my Marston has killed. I put one shot in her back but that was enough to kill her. :(

    A hooker did that to me. I went into Dead Eye and shot her at least 8 times. I'm pretty sure the first shot did the trick, but it didn't satisfy me.

    Another bitch made me stop so her bandit buddies could try to kill me. I murdered them all, and the horses, and made her watch while I skinned them. Then I hogtied her, dragged her to the middle of nowhere, and set her free.

    Then I kneecapped her.

    This game brings out the worst in me, I'm afraid.

    I had the same thing happen to me not long after my horse got killed (obviously I was riding around on a replacement). I let the horse buck her off, lassoed her, hogtied her, and rode several miles just so I could put her on the train tracks.

    So there's no way to keep x's from been painted on a target if the cursor goes over it in level 2? I was wondering about that. I've killed a few civilians by accident that way...

    You guys are really having this much trouble with it? I've yet to accidentally kill a civ with it.... Also, if you do happen to accidentally paint someone you don't want to, just don't fire the weapon.

    edit: But I will say that dead eye 2 does suck whenever you want to do some percison shooting. Like shooting off hats or guns. It seems to be more of a "Oh look 5 guys are standing in front of me. Oh now they are all dead" sort of thing

    I haven't accidentally killed anyone I didn't want to with it, but it just makes precision shots a little more difficult than it needs to be as the game might paint a target (horse, civilian) or body part you didn't want marked. I hope it won't be long until I unlock the third level.

    Gahahaha I love what you can do in this game. That's happened to me on two separate occasions, and it's why having a sawed-off shotgun is nice (but I did catch a horse on accident, and I hate to do that D:). Then I let the woman run for awhile, tied her up, let her go, shot her once in the foot and it killed her. I was fuckin' pissed, I just wanted to cripple her
