Well I bought Red Dead: Redemption today

Then it probably only works with bounties. You're practically supposed to shoot them in the legs to stop them from running or doing anything against you. I always get my live bounties that way.

Once I kill everyone else the bounties usually try to run away, so I just lasso them without shooting them.

You're lucky. A LOT of my bounties weren't pussies. But they take FOREVER to shoot me so getting them in the legs is usually easy. Riding to the station with the bounty in tow, now that's annoying(well, when it takes a long time to get there).

Yeah. One time I had to CARRY my fucking bounty back, because some faggot killed my horse on the way back. That shit was terrible, it took so long and I nearly ran out of ammo due to all the outlaws that kept coming.

I'd have just shot him and taken the lower reward, then catch a wild horse.

Never give up!

Are there many horses around? It seems like horses die easily.

There's not loads around, but you see them often enough. If you just wait long enough after your horse dies you can whistle and it will have magically come back to life. And my horse hasn't died much. It got shot to death once, and one time it just kind of died while I was riding it for some reason. That was weird. Maybe a snake bit it?

What ya got there is some... Ninja cougars...

Speaking of horses, I was lucky a few days back and my Kentucky Saddler lasted throughout 20 missions in the story and I got that hidden Spurred to Victory trophy.

I'm glad I got it before my horse glitched and turned into another horse(although after one of the missions against some Mexicans, I saw a KS and hitched it so all is well). =P

Is the Kentucky Saddler the yellow one you get from that mission with Bonnie?

Yeah. I kept it since it's like the second fastest horse.

That's the one that randomly died on me. I've caught like 3 more since then though.

Did you get the trophy in time before it died?

No. I'm not sure if I've even done 20 missions, let alone with one horse. The last mission I did was the cart race for that miracle cure guy.

Ah then you haven't reached 20 yet. You still have a chance to get it though since there's assloads more to go.

So y'all wanna posse up now or somethin'?

Nah.

Yah.

Fucking this.

I spent ages yesterday trying to get the American Standardbreed, the first time I found one I was ambushed by 10 bandits before I could save and the second time I was double teamed by cougars straight away. I managed to find another after about an hour of random animal hunting and save at a camp before the game fucked me over a third time.

Motherfucking cougars.

Just did that Flowers For a Lady stranger mission. Afterwards I went into the hut and killed Billy because he was a creepy weirdo. Then I walked up to Anabel and her head fell off.

A lot of the Stranger Missions end in weird ways like that. They seem to all be about Marston (you) making judgements and deciding what's right and wrong. That's just my take on it but when you consider a certain enigmatic mission giver who seems to be not-quite-human it's almost undeniable.

Well, there was no choice as part of the mission. It just ended. I put the bandanna on and walked back into his hut and killed him because I didn't like him.

Does it reveal who he is? He comes across as pretty Devil-esque to me.

I just did that mission where you get the gun out of the mine. How long before I get level 3 Dead Eye? I'm getting fed up of the little targeting auto-fire thingies. They weren't there before. I could just shoot stuff at my own pace.
