Ya don't mess with the Bunk ! :lol
Another strategy is to cheat and kill the first two contestants. Then again the rubberband AI on the final guy sucks, I took me a good 10 minutes to pull off as well.
Do you guys not realise you can leave the Poker game at any time? Just start a game, go all in on first hand and knock 2 or 3 guys out instantly. Your chip lead will be so big that the win is secured in a few minutes. If your all in fucks up on the first hand, quit and rejoin.
I don't understand why you guys sit there for 4 hours when it doesn't need to take any more than 5 minutes...

Hit level 45 on multi with no cheating, 5 more levels to grind out...
Anyone think the Co op missions xp is crap for how long they take? Should be over 2k for each one minimum yet its barely 1k.

Some questions and comments:
1) Can't believe going in the water means instant death. I found this out the hard way.
2) Should I keep the feathers/pelts/meats that I'm stockpiling, or should I sell them?
3) Sometimes a random person will come up to me and ask me to save their stolen horse (not a purple stranger quest). Are things like this part of getting 100% in the game?

1) Ditto, happened to me plenty of times. They need a stop sign on the bridge in Thieves Landing, I always end up going too fast and getting bumped into the river and drowning.
2) Doesn't really matter, there are a few stranger quests where you may need x number of x plant/feather/animal but its nothing that takes more than a few minutes per requirement. If you need the money go ahead and sell the stuff while you need it because later on you'll have more than enough money for everything (or at least I did) and the few extra dollars become meaningless.
3) No, just random encounters that you can use to boost your fame and honor.

Just finished the game. Loved every minute of it. This is the second open world game I've really enjoyed.(San Andreas being the first.) Can believe how well done everything was. The game is buggy, but fortunately for me these didn't happen to often enough to stifle my fun. The hunting/sharpshooting challenges were really fun, and you are not a hardcore gunslinger till you pick every flower known to man. 
The graphics are amazing for an open world game, and some of the best lighting I've seen yet. Environment are varied, and it's just fun to explore fighting off bandits, and helping strangers you meet along the way. Few things I didn't like though.
- Yes it is dumb that you die by touching water. Would it really have been that hard to put some kind of barrier?
- Controls on foot/ jumping felt really floaty. Caused me to die a few times during missions.
- Why was I running into packs of eight bears.:lol
- Wish there had been melee weapons. I mean there's shovels, axes, pick axes, and various other things laying around.
Other than those things it near perfect in my eyes. The missions can get repetitive but there usually so easy you're done with them fast.
I really liked Marston. The other characters were good as well. Easy to love/hate. Story was alright.
I really like the ending.

I was expecting the game to end when Dutch killed himself. Was really surprised that not only do you get to go back to your ranch after that, but also get to find out just who these people are that you've been fighting to get back to. John dieing kinda sucked. Can't escape your past I suppose. T-T Getting to play as Jack was a nice touch. The revenge on Ross through Jack was expected. But it was just too BAD ASS when RDR logo popped up afterwords.

Bought all the special guns?
If your just missing a last bounty location just keep leaving and waiting for it to turn up then complete it, will show up eventually.

Thanks, also:
1) Do you need to gold the missions to 100% the game?
2) I was moving around Pike's Basin, and for some reason I was prompted by Erriot once again to save his herd... I already did it before. I did it yesterday and a big message showed up on the screen that said: "Pike's Basin completed." And sure enough it showed up again once I helped him. What's the deal? A way to horde a bunch of fame/honour? Or do I have to complete Pike's Basin x amount of times for 100%?

Woot, I got 2 ringers in one game, I got the Bollard twins' outfit and the trophy!

Check your stats, your Bounty locations should be 8/8/4, and I never had a bounty location repeat, but I killed all of the bounties, maybe that has something to do with it. Also, another possibility is the properties, did you rent a night in both of the rental properties?
Final master hunter-related comments...
Not even an achievement for level 10 all ambient challenges!
Fun stuff though. I really hope they release an exotic animal pack or something. Maybe new hunting challenges. That stuffs awesome.
I cant believe I went to the trouble of killing Khan, Brumas, the legendary wolf and the legendary other thing all with a knife in the hopes of getting an achievement. Nothing.

Okay I got to a 100% finally. I was missing a map location near the railroad yard and I just happened to cross it by chance.

Just started the game last night and I'm really loving it. It takes a little getting used to the controls and the general play style of the game but it's all starting to click now. I am still getting used to riding a horse and finding it a little hard to know who to shoot in random encounters, but I'll get the hang of it soon. The pacing, the characters, the music, the writing and the scenery are all amazing so far. This is one of the games where I stop everything I'm doing so I can just look at the environment and just take it all in.
I'm also encountering a lot of strange glitches so far, but to me that's a positive since I love it when crazy things start happening around me. A couple of examples: I found a treasure chest the I was able to "open" repeatedly. I have "open" in quotes because every time I opened the lid there was another closed lid underneath it, causing this strange loop where I could keep opening the chest and getting the money/ammo. It only worked like five times, but it was a pretty funny glitch. Another example of strangeness (this one was probably intentional), I ran into this man crying over a dead women in the middle of nowhere. I ran up to him and couldn't do anything, I just sat there and watched him cry. After a minute I eventually hopped on my horse and the camera panned away from the couple, suddenly I hear a body drop. After moving the camera back to the couple I see the man is now dead, I'm guessing he shot himself but there wasn't any blood and he didn't have a gun (he did have ammo though). I'm getting that same crazy vibe I did from San Andreas and I'm loving it.

Just started this up last night.
Man, I forgot how much I love Rockstar's writing. The opening scene on the train really set the mood in a great way.

I 100% the single player. I only ran into one glitch the entire play through that prevented me from completing a mission in single player. Now multiplayer... that's a whole different can of worms.

I don't know, the train scene seemed kind of forced to me. The dialogue didn't seem as natural as the other characters I've run into, and the fact both conversations were around the same subject didn't really flow well. I thought it really picked up from the moment you hit the Mission though, and it hasn't let up since.

Has anyone played Online recently? I've been trying for the past few hours and here are the problems I'm experiencing
All of which have put me off playing the game for the moment, it is a goddamn experience. Speaking to someone on Live, he claims most people are glitching which is causing the problems
- Atleast 7 out of 10 times I'm stuck on the loading menu. This is an increase to before
- When I kill players, it doesn't register as me killing them but e.g. Player X has died.
- In an open map when I see the red dots or enemy dots on a map in front of me, there is no one there
- I die e.g. Meus kicked the bucket when absolutely no one is around me or shot me. My player just drops as if he fell 100 ft.

I didn't really like this game at all. I only got as far as a mission or two after you get to Mexico before giving up and putting it up for sale.
I find open world games to be a bit.....boring. As in " here, we made this huge world, there's not much to do in it that is fun but there IS a lot of random things to do so make the most of it" Well i didn't. I didn't like riding the horse to one location to talk to a character, ride along side that character to the next mission, finish the mission which was mostly spamming the left trigger for auto aim, then riding your horse back to the next mission and repeat. I also hated riding the horse in general, i hate holding down the X button to maintain speed or to keep pace with your ally npcs.
