Louisa appears out of nowhere in the final mission and gets blasted on then promptly forgotten about. Shit, I didn't even know it was her. Reyes would never remember her name!
Yeah, I never understood that last part, Reyes was kind of a strange guy. That whole story-section felt kinda weird, tbh. Like, I'm still not sure what the hell they were going for there.
Still, Bonnie was great, here's hoping they'll have some more good characters in West Elisabeth.
So, I finished the Mexico missions. Wow. What a bunch of shitty ass characters. There were only two characters in the entire thing that I gave a tiny shit for. The rest were scum. Not even fun scum. Just tedious, mind-numbing scum.
I'm getting very bored with Mexico... I can't wait to unlock the next territory. I'm attacking the missions as quickly as possible (fast travel) to avoid getting distracted with side missions. I absolutely hate traveling across the land here.

Yea I would have avoided it aswell, infact I don't think I've ever entered it when playing with my friend but it loves to spawn me in Blackwater as soon as I start.
First up this game is fuckin EPIC, but i have an issue. I played a couple missions without activating the assasins outfit and i did it today and it says i have to capture or kill mo van bar, yet he was my first bounty in armadillo, but its not checked off on the list. WTF? I'm always being shot at when i visit Thieves Landing, is it cause i'm honourable/famous? While savin it in town i was gettin shot through the window :lol
Same as you guys. I've only been to the snowy area once because I spawned in Blackwater and I was playing with a friend that wanted to hunt down some bears. We went together but on the way a cougar (of course..) out of nowhere came and killed us both. We respawned in Blackwater again but decided to just go south to New Austin.
Since then, I've not been to the snowy area and
all my current challenges (Hunter, Treasure, Survivalist, etc.. ) are all located there
. Now that I just finished the
Mexico missions
, I'm heading over there and can't wait to get into the snowy forest and get mauled by boars, cougars, bears, etc...
(edit - adding some spoiler tags just in case)
edit 2 - And as someone else said, for some reason I don't enjoy roaming around Mexico nearly as much as I enjoy it while around New Austin (specially the area near McFarlane Ranch) and probably the West Elizabeth area (from what I could see the only one time I was there).
Dont use R1, it seems to be an auto kill, just let it slow time, fire gun with R2. As others have said aim high. I've found it to be one of the more difficult things to do in the game to be honest... Thats why I stick to hogtying people and laying em on the tracks... laid back and stress free.

I've had same problem, drove me crazy. I just beat the game anyways... I'll go thru again later. The only suggestion I've found involves erasing all of your save games, starting new. Doing all the bonnie missions, and then the first Marshall mission. During that mission, you have to kill the bounty. If you only wound him, Mo Van Bar will not show up. Anyways, it sucks, hopefully its fixed soon.

i caught a black one and it was rad, but at some point it must have got hurt because its stamina would never recharge full anymore, and it ran out quick and it also limped around a bit when I got off.

Maybe you're riding that stallion a little too hard? Guess KY wasn't really around back then. I'm sure there was a lot of limping in the old west... plus with the leg shootings, I mean... its ridiculous.

Wow I've had some rage inducing shit happen to me while I'm trying to catch this bounty...
First I go and kill all his bitches and tie him up and put him on a horse. Some other guy comes up so I shoot him and the horse just starts running at full speed. I finally catch up to it and lasso it when a bunch of wolves come and fucking eat me.
Then I go again and when I'm trying to capture him I get stuck between two rocks.
When the game tells you that there are new guns available, are they only available in one store or should they be available in every store? I went to the closest store after it said that and nothing new was there. :/
God damn piece of shit game. Two game crashing bugs (360) and I'm not even that far into it, and keep losing so much precious game time. And fuck horse racing.
My God is the game fantastic. I wasn't expecting that this would be so near to GTA in production levels, as the original Red Dead didn't seem to get that sort of treatment.
I came into this expecting a lesser product but a style and setting I enjoyed more. I think the action in this game is far more interesting than that of GTA games. You are on a horse, and yet the chases seem somewhat faster, better controlling, and more exciting (thanks awesome bass lines) than what I've experience in Rockstar's modern-day settings.
Best of all, I didn't even know the game was going to be like this. I expected a hub-and-spoke or level structure. I felt all the fights were going to be rigid cover to cover battles down a thin tube. What I got is lots of driving, shooting, nick of time noose snapping, and
mine cart riding
. It is all very fluid and it really keeps the game from being stale.

Ahhh Mexico, finally. I'm doing a lot more story missions now. My hunter challenge is a variety of raccoons, foxes(which I haven't seen yet) and skunks... talk about a downgrade from killing cougars with a knife. And the only stranger mission open is another collectathon. I did find something interesting though:
I've been to 2 deserted/destroyed houses that are all by themselves in Mexico. Both had a chest inside(expected), but also messages scribbled on the walls. Does that mean anything? Tie into any side mission?
I really wasn't following the game. I'm not surprised that is the budget judging by the quality of the final product. There are two types of Rockstar non-GTA games. There is the ping-pong, Midnight Club, State of Emergency group and then there is Bully. I guess this Red Dead got the Bully treatment.
I don't think they will have a problem recouping that. I've heard as many people discussing this game in my workplace as Modern Warfare 2. I think there is possibly a market for the Old West stuff that no one really knew about. Nearly everyone has Oregon Trail as part of their gaming vocabulary, even if they didn't really play that many games as a kid. People really enjoyed dying of dysentery, and I think this game is tapping right into that.
I don't know, I'm really liking the game but can't feel it's a little over-rated.
Rickettes and Marston didn't make a fucking bit of sense to me, I have this old git telling me I can't shoot despite just taking out 50 local miners in one mission upset that I was assisting a man for duping them out of their cash, yet clearly I'm still the good guy? I'm currently still in Mexico but it already annoying me that there wasn't a choice between the current regime and the rebels even if inevitably they'd lead to the same thing.
Back to Ricketts and Marston, it just seemed like a generic mentor role shoe-horned into a scenario where it didn't make sense, it's not like a "good" movie and I'm not swept away like it.
On top of that I feel people are being really forgiving on this because of the changes made to the system itself. I meant yes the cover/cover-shooting is better but I can't help think that the side-mission progress is leagues behind San Andereas and the side-missions themselves are hugely limited and frustrating. On top of that the multiplayer free-roam is ahead of Saint's Row in it's capacity for it's number of players but is completely decimated solely in regards to number of activities. I mean can we do single play mission co-op? No? Well can we at least play poker together?
Once again I really like the game just like I really liked GTA4, but what shortcomings of GTA4 does this resolve?

The more I play, the more I agree. I have no comment on the online stuff though. Haven't played it. I doubt I will. As the story continues, things get really silly. As a result, it's hurting Marston as a character more and more. I'm hoping the last part of the game picks up.
