Auto aim is a lot worse in this game than GTA4. Seems like I have to press the trigger 5 times before it finally locks on to something and if I try to adjust the aim I lose the lock immediately.

In Mexico, middle of nowhere, i break-in a majestic horse. Less than a minute later, i see a pack of wolves coming for me. I bring the horse to a full stop, carefully aim, and begin quickly shooting into the pack. All the sudden the horse rears his head, i shoot him, it drops like a brick, and i am running frantically to find a new horse before more wolves find me.
For those playing horseshoe/going for a ringer and having a few difficulties here's a few tips:
1. Use LT to line your shot up before swinging. Aim to put the peg in the middle of your horseshoe.
2. Swing the horseshoe using RS (forward and back). The harder you push it forward the more force is used in your throw on release. Usually 2 swings will be enough.
3. Release your horseshoe with RT. My advice is to aim to release between the middle gauge marker (white) and the top one (black) for best chance at a ringer.

Dammit, anyone else have trouble doing this Gaptooth Breach race? I can't race because me and half of the other racers horses are stuck in the ground.
I've tried doing the mission 5 times now, always the same.

Yeah, he turned up when I started the first mission there. Knew it was him because his stamina bar went up to full. Not going to lose him again.

Poker is actually a lot of fun when you cheat. 
It becomes a different game, as even if you know you're better off folding, you can swap out cards for something good (like an Ace) to increase your odds of winning later.

I finally made it to mexico. Just wondering if you will be able to go back?

In the in-game map, the .-.-. denotes the separation of regions (Cholla Springs, Rio Bravo, Hannigan's Stead, etc.). It'll make more sense if you look at the colored regions on the paper map.
I just had a bounty hunt bug in which NO ONE shot at me. They all just stood there looking at me. Easiest money I've made thus far... :lolEvaPlusMinus said:

When you finish the game, can you still load up your save and do the challenges, roam around, etc?
I'm pretty sure I'm nearing the end.

I've only encountered one snake in the game. I may have ran past others but I've only killed one.
Yeah, they are hard to spot, but if you look around (mostly in Mexico, but also in New Austin), there are actually lots of them. I've skinned 4 or 5 of them I think.sazabirules said:
Now, all my challenges have moved to stuff I have to do in West Elizabeth, so I'll do most of the Mexico missions meanwhile. Hopefully later on there are missions happening in West Elizabeth so I can move there and do the challenges and story at the same time..

I suppose a more in-depth analysis can happen once more of y'all finish the campaign. Suffice to say, I was extremely satisfied by the story in RDR.
By far my Game of the Year at this point. In my opinion Rockstar just set the bar higher than ever for themselves. GTA V has a lot to live up to

I absolutely love how they ended the game. I admit I was skeptical at first when they took the Bioshock route and chose not to end the game at the logical point; after you kill Dutch (akin to Bioshock continuing after you kill Andrew Ryan). But they diverted from Bioshock in that they managed to actually do something smart by not ending it there. I definitely was pretty shocked when Marston was killed, and was very happy to play as James and to go take out Ross, hehe.

Admittedly I was surprised that the Marshall never shows up again after the last time you see him, but otherwise was glad many of the characters made re-occuring appearances.

Good thing I saved before my horse died

I saw one boar, but it was a part of one of those sequences where you see a rider on a horse hunting an animal as you ride by. There are suppose to be some around the Mcfarlane Ranch(it's on the map). My next challenge is armadillos and boars so I'll have to go looking for them at some point. I wish there was a little more depth to hunting. Particular baits or traps for certain kind of animals, or some tracks to follow occasionally. I feel like it's just waiting for the game to spawn the right thing at the right time, which ofcourse is what it is, I just don't want it to break the immersion so much.
