Now you think it's low tier because of some other reason?

I've only just seen them, but the little cut scene execution kills are dope.

I'm trying to eliminate everyone at Poker in Armadillo atm for the Outfit. I figured out an easy way by cheating and getting caught to empty the table down to one guy, but I still fucked it up.

After that I busted out, and shot everyone in the head hoping that would 'eliminate' them. It didn't.

Execution style kills? Is that like when you are REALLY close and shove the pistol to their chest and shoot?

Just got to Blackwater on the weekend. Best game in ages.

Trying to do Five Finger Fillet at Torquemada just about made me ragequit!

Time to enter high stakes poker at Blackwater in my Gentleman's Attire ;D

Also who else thinks Liars Dice is awesome!

Still toolin' around Mexico.

Got the deed to the Kentucky Saddler - apparently best horse.

Also got the Bolt action rifle - which is pretty awesome.

Having fun doing the treasure hunting and survival challenges, although I think I have to head up to the north-east part of the game before I can continue...

Don't really care about the side-game things tbh... although I got a ringer in horseshoes in my first game...

Yeah I got to a point in challeneges where I have to kill 3 bear with 1 shot each and I need boar tusks for a challenge as well.

The only Stranger quest I have in Mexico left needs Beaver skins so it all pointed to me finally having to leave Mexico.

Still haven't touched multiplayer yet because me and Richard never seem to be on at the same time at the moment.

That five finger is awesome!!!  Make the easy money of that as soon as you know the pattern.  Was doing that shit in no time while reading on the forums :D

high stakes poker in blackwater is pretty beast. hoping it was stupid with like a $1000 buy in, but $250 is okay.

got my trophy for winning 2000+ chips in one hand of poker so im happy :)

Just remember that it is a easy pattern and you'll get that one easy.  Don't forget to bet the highest amount too.  I played this mini game over a period of 30mins when I made it to the last guy and knew what buttons to press so I could do it without thinking and racked up the monies fast.  Didn't even watch the game while I was doing it.

First guy (depending where your at) is : a,b,a,b,a,b,a,b,a,b,a/ X,O,X,O,X,O,X,O,X,O,X
Stupid thing with this is you have to go slow when your doing it.

Second guy changes up a bit : a,b,a,y,a,b,a,y,a/ X,O,X,^,X,O,X,^,X

the third & last guy is a,b,a,y,a,x,a,b,a,y/ X,O,X,^,X,[],X,O,^
and then repeat pattern as many times they ask for.

Okay gringo :)

EDIT: Updated for PS3 guys

Poker takes to long for me on this game.  Even when you skip to your turn it still takes to long!

Liers Dice is fun though :)

The game is pretty damn simple once you learn the art of auto target+lift aim up a little bit=AUTOHEADSHOTO!

You can take out an army without taking a hit once you master that technique.

It's not by any means a challenging game. I think the only times I've died were when I accidentally stumbled into a random encounter when there are three guys already firing at me while I'm trying to work out what's going on. And even then I think if you just went instantly into deadeye it'd be simpo

Post by: stereomonkey on June 17, 2010, 11:12:09 PM
Yup, but still heaps of fun :)
