I think it only gives you the option when you initially join the posse. I suppose you could either leave/rejoin the posse to teleport, or set a waypoint on your map and travel to it via a Transport pole(the wagon wheel icon on your map).

Yep. That's how it works.sw33tclyde said:
When me and Chaos played we just disbanded the posse and recreated it to re-enable the option.
Sucks when you're stuck on a mule while your buddy is rocking a super-steed.

Finished the game, and chiming in to say how fantastic it was.
The ending was brilliant
Minor gripes : with so much freedom in the game world, I wish it could be the same with the story, with more branching paths and endings ; when some choices were offered , it didn't impact much the storyline.
Some random favorites : first time the weather changed to a storm, the rebel outfit,
The ending was brilliant
I actually liked the whole 'bonding with family',' working at the ranch' last missions. When it began, i knew it meant something bad was gonna happen, but I expected something like the son and wife getting killed, and John going on a rampage. Rockstar's ending was far better :lol

One thing that helped me get fame more quickly was when i realized that i could shoot the gun out of the hand of anyone wanting to duel me, without killing them. That's +100 fame.
-edit: and about the poker-- try the Doyle B. school- B E Agressive. Just act like you have a hand 90% of the time-- oh and if they check to you that is usually a sure sign of weakness. My biggest pot was over 7500 chips. If you have a hand-- bet 50% of what is in the pot. Small pockets before the flop? Go all in or half your stack at least. Get raised on the river? Probably should fold.
Urgh was trying to do a Master Hunter II Challenge in public freeroam when I ran into an asshole posse, all named *something* *animal* so they were either furries or metal gear solid bosses, who kept attacking me when all I wanted to do was hunt some boars. Eventually I ended up being spawned the otherside of the border and we were taking shots at each other across the river.

My friend switched horses at the start of it and the song stopped right away
fuuuuuuuuu
I did just that. And looted the bodies and stopped after a few yards to pick-up some shit (ooh flowers). Didn't hear a single note of the song. Shit.

To be honest JC2 kind of got to me by having everything open. I didn't feel any sense of accomplishment when I finally got a mission that let take a helicopter because I had already flown countless ones that were more powerful. Same with planes, fast cars, etc ...
I know it's just different playstyles for different people and I AM NOT discounting JC2 at all, love the game and plan to go back to it but everything you do in RDR just feels more like an interaction with the world than just a sandbox where you know that car will respawn.
I think you would enjoy it, the map is huge and as long as you don't just fast travel from location to location the randomness of things you encounter is great. But it is really mission driven ... you CAN screw around for hours but you don't really accomplish much unless you are purposely trying to do something.
I also completely disagree with the R* not able to write a story. I think the story is great for a videogame, I can only name a couple off the top of my head where the story AND gameplay were up to par with RDR (mainly being ME2, U2, and AC2 that I'm thinking of). Does it have its cliches? Of course, it's a Western.
EDIT: And that song playing with you first arrive in Mexico was surreal. Felt like I was playing a perfectly executed cutscene or something.

Did you see credits? If you didn't you didn't beat it yet.
I liked the whole epilogue of the game but would have preferred if
There must still be more to do because I have not seen the credits yet. Going to ride around after dinner and see whats up.
About regenerating health, Always getting armor or filling up your health in GTA really sucks. Regenerating health sucks in its own ways too. Not running off to get armor and health because you got hit by a taxi is a great thing. It could also be accomplished by having health fill back up really slowly and not having vests.
John died in a more mundane way

Just started playing the game. I just want to say WOW, this game is sexy. Graphics are awesome. Also, i dig the gameplay, seems very GTA but "different". Played a little online however and was underwhelmed. It was so empty. Like, nothing. Cant wait to play more, but have to go to work.
I've been playing online the last three nights and I honestly don't know if I even care to jump back into the single player anytime soon. Everyone I've been playing with keeps saying that it's amazing--I'm just having too much fun online to bother.

I kinda like the saves the way they are. With the health regeneration there's little to fear except for the loss of stuff you've accumulated after a save point. With the way it is you don't tend to go to the effort to save that often, which makes you be more careful in general play.
Of course if you forget you're screwed. Several times I've lost over an hours work because of cougars, which is why they're the only thing I generally use deadeye on, because they fuck my shit up.
DualShadow said:I cant seem to find the damn flowers
They take a while to find in the areas you're meant to look. You can use
a map bought from Armadillo which supposedly lets you see on the map where the herbs are. I haven't used it but it suposedly lasts for 20 minutes, which should be enough to find what you're after.

I've had this problem with the poker games I've been in where only one guy (that ain't me) gets all the good hands and makes bluffing and what have you all the more pointless.
I played a game of horseshoes to get an outfit and I've discovered I hate horseshoes, at least how it's played in this game. I'm actually surprised I got the achievement for getting a ringer.

Thanks. Might need to try that if i cant find them again.
Also is there any point in which you can't complete a stranger quest? Can i start it now and complete it in, say, 5 hours when i've done lots of main missions?

Is it just me or does almost every mission have some kind of zany but predictable ending? I saw this one coming a mile away, same with the "Who Are You to Judge" mission.Bobbyrawlins said:

To be fair a lot fo times the mission names give away the nature of it. "Who Are You To Judge" being a prime example, you know you're gonna be bringing back something that
