    I have acquired massive bounties everywhere. Is there an easy way to get rid of them and not be randomly murdered every few minutes, because I have frankly no idea how to grind $300+ for every territory.

    My phone is a few years old, so I wasn't shocked it wasn't supported - I was just glad it said my tablet was since I would prefer to use that for the map and stuff anyway.

    Shame it instantly crashes when I try and open it though.

    I told you nerds about that days ago, you really need to pay way more attention to all the charming and interesting and witty things I say.

    Other shit you should know:

    Tapping dpad up calls your horse to your position. Tapping it multiple times will make the horse come faster. Holding it does a long whistle which calls your horse and autmatically sets it to 'follow' stance.

    Holding left or right chooses the side you dismount horses from.

    Going into deadeye automatically reloads your weapon.

    Triangle steals horses and vehicles, but if you just tap it and hold the direction away from the horse, you can yank someone down without mounting the thing.

    If you're far from your horse or a stable, you can callout to passing travelers, then push dpad up to ask them for a ride to the nearest town.

    Instead of dying or racking up bounties on minor crimes like bumping into someone too hard, just stop, apologise to the person and if they run off to tell the law, wait for the cops and apologise to them. Most of the time they'll either wave it off or just ask you to leave the area. You can come back in like 30 seconds, no big deal.

    If you tap x in the rhythm of your horse's stride, it doesnt drain stamina.

    Can we get everyone's little tips together?

    I found out you can jump through some windows with the jump/climb button. It won't give you a prompt or anything but you can just do it. Maybe everyone knew that.

    Funny story

    I really want the sheepskin trapper's cloak and the sheepskin vest from the trapper

    I can't find any wild sheep, and the bighorn ram/sheep are apparently not the right animal, maybe I'm mistaken

    So I went to the farm with the fence person in the stable east of Valentine, thinking maybe I could find a stray and harvest some mutton

    Couldn't find one, hopped in the one pen, shot a sheep

    Instantly reported as a crime, scarcely a minute later bounty hunters show up and ventilate poor Arthur with shotguns

    If you're on your horse and click the left thumbstick on the XB1, Arthur will pat his horse or say some calming words to it.

    I've found stray three-star sheep wandering around Emerald Ranch. There were a couple of dudes with guns on horseback watching them nearby, but some of the sheep were out of their sight range.

    I did a bad thing last night

    I needed a cowhide for a camp upgrade

    So I did a rustling mission with Uncle, and when we got all of the cows to their destination, I picked the last one and shot it

    I feel like a piece of shit!

    Being rustled presents no new offence to the cow only to the rancher, who loses the revenue of the cows demise, the life and liberty of the cow having been forfeit from conception

    Beginning of chapter V
    God damn, I lost like every single asshole I can count on in short order.

    Things go tits up, and I'm thinking 'well, at least all of the boys are here. Its not just me babysitting Dutch, Bill and Micah's dumb asses.'

    Then there goes Hosea. And there goes Jack. And there goes Lenny. And there goes Charles.

    And then there goes Javier.

    And now I'm stuck on a goddamn island that wants me dead with limited supplies and my only support is...Dutch, Bill, and Micah.

    So I'm in Epilogue, my thoughts on the game.

    *The game railroading certain weapons was annoying. In that final Arthur mission I literally only had pistols and had to fire long distances.
    *The Micah fist fight was shit, there was no clear answer to what i was meant to be doing. Just surviving? Get him over the cliff? Nada, it just kept going.
    *It's an OK end for Arthur as he got what he wanted, except we know ultimately he didn't, and I don't need to keep playing these games so my character can die at the end. Send him off to be a rancher with Mary or Sadie.
    *Micah was apparently only turned after Cuba, so why the conspiracy about why the Blackwater job went bad?
    *I didn't like that you don't get any input on the heists like in GTA V, and we don't get to rob the bank in Rhodes.
    *Money became meaningless after the Valentine job, there was never a time where I was short of money even for bounties so a lot of systems like fences and looting became unnecessary.
    *Conversely, you can spend all that money on camp upgrades and it all disappears by the end anyway.

    It's too interested in telling it's story to really acknowledge your gameplay, like GTA IV, and pretty much eveyrthing ends shitty except for the Charlotte side mission which I liked and was a nice change of pace. It removes a lot of your agency at it's own benefit and if the game wasn't 200 hours long that wouldn't be a big deal.

    I never found John all that interesting so playing as him again isn't a bonus either.

    I did like how it portrayed Dutch being driven insane by his obsession with getting money to get this life he wants but can never attain.

    But it is far too long. I'd forgotten most of the camp by the end because walking around the camp is so slow.

    Yeah he is literally just a name after you chase bill, and then he shows up after you're so sick of mexico and I don't fault anyone who shot him, though I never did. YOU FUCKERS!

    My question is for those who completed the epilogue...

    Did you hang Micah's friend? I did. I figured it made more sense for John who was a more vengeful dude to just complete that hanging. If it had been arthur I probably wouldn't have.

    No, that's not how I played John in the original either. I figure he would still be considering whether it was what Arthur would have wanted.

    Sadie shoots him either way.
