Is it possible to screw up the stranger challenges, or have I just not gotten to the area where some of them continue on?

- Thread starter Goldrusher
- Start date
just went to Mexico ..some thoughts
- freaking awesome so far , R* San Digo learned from R8 North's mistakes.
- JM is very cool character , and unlike Niko , Klebitz and Luis he is no douchebag or piece of shit character , and he is still damn badass and very interesting , and actually makes you care about him.
- yeah, Dead Eye Lvl 3 is very good ( since it don't auto target everything on screen) , but the problem is with the RB , since I remove/move my finger from the RT now to mark poor bastards ,I wish the "place the marks " was on one of the face buttons .
- I wish the "strangers " side quest were more Fallout-ish style than GTA4 ( you know not just meet them but do some crazy things ) only one that had "fallout" feel was the Flower for the lady quest.
- shooting is very fun , cover system works well , in GTA4+episode the shooting was like a broken garbage barrel full of shit , here it's "fun".
- regenerating health/dead eye are very good , checkpoint system is sweet , fast travel is nice idea but should be more easier ( put the option on the map screen instead ) and they should let us skip the skinning and looting animations.

No, it's not possible. Even if you "fail" a stranger request, wait a few in-game days, and you can try it again. Sometimes you have to wait a while for the next part of a stranger request chain becomes active though. Look at your Journal in the pause menu to keep track.

I have two that I just haven't seen anywhere on the map for (real life) hours now. I assume that they'll be continued in mexico, which I haven't got to yet.Ben2749 said:

On my way to Sidewinder Gulch, I came across a drunk, old man crying hysterically next to a barefoot dead woman who was lying in a pool of blood. I stopped to watch, thinking this was a Stranger mission, or the man was going to ask me for a favor, but instead he took a swig of his bottle and just died right there next to her.
Random. Tragic. Awesome.
On a more positive note, on my way to Tall Trees to hunt the fauna (in the process of the "Unnatural Selection" achievement) I saw a man playing fetch with his dog. I thought that was a pretty nice sight.

Finally got the damn ringer trophy. I went through so many games of it to get it and I end up facing some lady name Gretie and I destroy her AND got the ringer.
Pfft women.

Finished the game last night. Overall probably the best sandbox game I have ever played. I'm giving this game a overall a 9.7/10 (would have been a 10/10 if not for later stages of the game being buggy). And the funny part is I still have some things to complete (only completed about 90% of the game). Hopefully this one does well enough for Rockstar to make a RDR2. Will try out the on-line part of the game in a few days.

I was riding from Rathskeller Fork to Blackwater, and somewhere near Cholla Springs, I come across two men setting up dynamite on a table. I go to open the container that's near them. One of them says to his friend to be careful with the cigarette he lit. I sprinted the hell out of there and all of a sudden I hear *KABOOM* behind me. :lol
That is why I don't fast-travel (that often)!

Is it just me or is the only time you ever get LFE sound from this game during thunderstorms? I just got a new subwoofer and while Alan Wake caused shit to fall off the walls, 25 hours of RDR hasn't offered me much in the audio department. The thunderstorms sound incredible, but everything else has been fairly flat including the in-game music tracks which seem pretty low bitrate.

The way I saw it John let them kill him because had he not, the government would have continued to hunt him consequently placing his family in harms way

That is right. I totally forgot about Red Dead Revolver, LOL! Of course you know what I mean. I want another sandbox type RDR. Maybe a prequel to the events of Red Dead Redeption or a sequel with Marston's son as the main character.

HixxSAFC said:Game is really picking up towards the end of Mexico. It was ok before, nothing special to be honest but as the story is starting to pick up so are the missions and general cohesiveness of the world - the Stranger missions are most certainly more interesting now. I still miss Irish though, I hope I see him again
Almost everything in Mexico is just one big side mission. Completely unnecessary.

You pull the right stick down to grab the gun, then up, and if youre on Inverted aim press down again. Tip to those who dont know how to win properly, Shoot the hands, aim for their hands and youll get much more honor that wayn-off said:

Help! Is there anywhere to hunt beavers before you unlock the 3rd area? Or am I just wasting my time?

Wasting time.
No use really doing any of the challenges until all three areas are unlocked.

Square Triangle said:
Ok cool. I've been going as far as I can with the challenges in the areas I've unlocked so far, just so I don't have one giant grind after I unlock the third area.
Melville said:
Yeah you get a reward for Level 5 in every challenge, can't remember what they all are off the top of my head.
Are the challenges glitched in some ways or does the game just lie? It says in survivalist that all the flowers you picked beforehand count, but I just did the 8 prickly pear one and had 7 in my inventory beforehand, but had to pick 8 more regardless.

I think you read wrong, I believe the objectives for the challenge state "pick X number of flowers in addition to the ones you already have."

Dunno if been told but to those interested in home items:
In the first mission with Abigail, in the kitchen theres a stair that leads to the attic and in the chest you unlock a home item

The semi-auto shotgun works wonders for that since the spread of the shot can down several birds at onceZaraki_Kenpachi said:

The entirety of Mexico felt like Rockstar had to fill X hours and they padded out a third of the game with kinda crappy missions.

My game must have come with a different Mexico than everyone else because it is easily my favorite section of the game so far.
