How do you take someone alive for a bounty mission? I've beat the crap out of him with my fists but all he does is run away and i never have an option to hogtie him or handcuff him.

Seriously wtf. I get a perfect throw, and I overshoot the damn thing every time.

Uh, I am talking about horseshoes.
Edit: Got it on a bad throw. What a terrible mechanic.

Then that's obviously not perfect is it? If you overthrow, adjust what you're doing, then once that misses a different way, change again, repeat 100 times and you should be fine!

Just annoying because it seems impossible to get the "keep the same horse for 20 story missions" achievement because my horses keep glitching out.J Tourettes said:

I got a ringer out of pure luck. I used the fine aim to put the post in the center of the horseshoe, but I just kept swinging Marston's arm back and forth and hit the trigger as the mark was a bit under the center line. I think the meter had turned green.
I hate horseshoes though. I played a game of it as part of a costume requirement. I find I don't really enjoy any of the games in RDR enough that I have yet to even play Liar's Dice (as dumb as it sounds, that scene in PotC: Dead Man's Chest turned me off to it to begin with). I might give Hold 'em another go provided I get a decent hand for a change.
In other news, I actually picked up someone who was actually stranded for a change! Granted, I had to protect her from pursuing thugs, but I thought everyone asking for help was begging to eat lead.

Liar's Dice is hilariously easy if you sleep somewhere near it and keep reloading until there's only one guy at the table
Then you just have to bet high but realistic and they'll generally be forced to bet higher and you know they must be bullshitting
There's a part of Lights, Camera, Action where you have to play Liar's Dice and, since it's part of a quest, the computer is retarded and pretty much tries to lose. So as long as you don't leave the table and continue to ante up, you can bet like $200 a pop and make a fortune taking advantage of the computer.

That's good to know. I haven't actually finished that mission yet. :lol

Yeah, it sucks when it seems like you're the only one using expert. Last night was the first time I tried casual and I was amazed at just how much auto-aim there was. If you just tap L2, your character will turn completely around and pinpoint a dudes chest. I haven't checked normal yet. (I'm talking Free Roam only.)

Yes, the wind effects it.
Also seemed like the throws were different depending on which side you're standing on.

I learned early on that crime doesn't pay. I put someone down on the track and just as the train got there my horse walked right in front of it. Funny, but I was in the middle of nowhere.

So what weapon best to use to kill a bear in one shot. It's a sharpshooter challenge and it's not working with my shotgun or sniper. Help!

I was so careful with that bastard horse too, leaving him well away from fights even if it meant a longer trek on foot

At first I cared about keeping my horse alive, but when I realised that after you buy a deed, you can summon one whenever, I stopped giving a shit (after I got the "beat 20 missions without hitching a new horse" achievement), and viewed them as expendable. I advise new players to do the same, as if you get attached to your horse, it will just frustrate you when it inevitably dies, especially when it's the own damn thing's fault.

I can honestly say that 90% of the time I die is because of a bug. For instance today I shot a bunch of gang members trying to ambush me on the street and while I was looting their bodies by pressing Y a random guy rode by. Of course, by pressing Y to loot I instead dragged him off his horse and an eyewitness saw me then the dude plugged a shotgun into my back.
Where is the "Sorry about that, won't happen again" button?

The mid-range ones you can buy all look naff though to be fair. The beige one you get early on looks good and comes with the stamina boost.
I finally decided to move on into Mexico and got given another bloody horse. Although the scene made up for it
Man I love Irish.
Every time i get arrested, the game completely freezes. Fortunately, that's the only showstopper bug i have seen. My play through has been fairly clean. I did have one mission where a bunch of guards were posed like... Jesus on the cross, standing on their rifles like surfboards. I just stared for minutes.

Two issues, one major, one minor.
1: My only real major issue are the ghost towns in free roam, the world is completely barren of people, as well as the inability to partake in any of the mini games with actual people and friends.
2: A minor issue, the animations for hitching your horse, picking herbs, skinning, jumping to the roof of a rail car, and killing enemies from close range, really detract from the fluidity of gameplay. All of these dynamics should be seamless.
Game is top notch regardless.

It's the best parts of Gun, blended with the best parts of RD: Revolver, with the excellent production values and polish (for the most part) that you'd expect from a Rockstar game. You ought to pick this one up.
Lulz, I got the Horseshoe trophy in my first game. 6-7 games since then I haven't come close to repeating that feat.
Though I'm only about 60% through the story, I'm anxious to find out when expansions/DLC will be released for this game. Hopefully there isn't another 10 month wait, a la The Lost & Damned.
