If you still need the Most Wanted trophy - You can also stand on the way up the stairs in the bar in Armadilla. Enemy mobs only come from the door upstairs from outside or the main door. Same with all players so it's easy to kill when someone is trying to sabotage for you

I luckily got this the 1st time I played. I'm surprised you haven't got it as it should be very common now.

Ive actually only played it online for about 4 hours total, so ill fire it up again and have a go at killing everyone

Anyone tried the new DLC?

Supercow · 28 Aug 2010 at 10:37

Possible spoiler:

I just finished the main game - I think.
I'm not in my farm doing menial boring tasks. IS it worth keeping on doing them - herding cattle and that kinda poop? Is this leading to anything good or is it just Rockstars way to wind you down and get you into doing all the side quests you didnt do while playing the "storyline" ?

You haven't finished the game if you don't do the farm missions, it's not over.

Ah ok, cheers - I'm starting to lose interest though, please tell me it's not much longer, I hate these rubish menial tasks.

Nexus · 28 Aug 2010 at 11:03

It didn't take me long to get through them.

Supercow · 28 Aug 2010 at 11:10

Hmmm, I'm standing around waiting for Jack... just keeps on saying "Your family member is not here right now" but the lad is sat right there. Finding this last bit very tedious.

Twentyone · 28 Aug 2010 at 11:48

Just wait and come back a few ingame hours later

Just compelted the single player

only doing multy like once a week still loved the game Strange ending but gooooooooood

sequal plz

antijoke · 29 Aug 2010 at 14:10

I enjoyed it, I wondered how they would end it, was quiet a surprise. Would welcome a sequel.

Not sure if I want to back to it to grind for more achievements.

Twentyone · 29 Aug 2010 at 14:32

I'm still undecided if I should get the new DLC. I do enjoy MP but if it doesn't add much to the game..
Only need 15 more levels and some smaller single player trophies to get the platinum so the DLC might make things a bit more exciting

I hadn't actually heard much about this game until i saw somebody playing it on their PS3... i may have to get it if it comes down to around £15 sometime soon.

Thing is though, i saw it and immediately thought 'Fable'. Would you recommend this over waiting for Fable III?

Been playing this for the last week on my mate's XBox and have really enjoyed it. I do however remember when it first came out that people thought the PS3 version was not a good graphically as the XBox. Is this still the case as I generally game on the PS3 more?

I think the consensus is if you've got a 360 get it on the 360 if you don't or prefer the PS3 ecosystem get it on the PS3 and don't sweat it.

Got this yesterday and played a bit last night, dont really get what im supposed to do. Did some rabbit and coyote killing with Bonnie to get me started, but then it was the morning and all I got told was to meet a Marshall at some point.

Anyway went into the local Marshall hut or whatever it is, the black bloke runs it with his dog I think and nothing giving, so just went riding off on the horse. Found a signpost that on one angle pointed towards a place called Thieves Reef or something... decided id head that way, so as im on that way I see a bloke screech past on a horse... he stops up the road and comes back toward me, so I nail him with the carbine.

Bad mistake it seems as now im wanted... 3 stars come at me, I assume cops, so I gun them down... next thing I know is there are a load of dogs dragging the dead bodys off so I get on my horse and plough on and dont seem to be wanted, but it said I cant go back to my village as they will hate me.

Anyway not far on I see 2 blokes dicing around on horses, 1 looks like he is about to get robbed and as i get closer 'bang' he got shot, then the other bloke gets off his horse and starts to rummage through the dead man. So thinking im doing a good dead, I get off my horse and shoot the bloke.... wrong, this time 4 stars come after me. I nail each of them... now im some sort of bad man, so think sod it, shot a horse, skinned it... made me feel a bit ill

So turned it off.

I need to have a read about what to actually do!

I almost bought this game today but I ended up putting it back on the shelf instead. I came home later and watched a few trailers for it and it made me think I shoulda bought it now.

Are the missions (if they're called that in this game) repetative (sp?) as it does look like a game that could last quite a while but I couldn't handle doing the same ol' thing time and time again

It's incredibly samey, the annoying thing is so many of the missions have you ride shotgun with somebody or follow them on a horse to a location. That's what makes it a drag at times.

Game has its moments, i played through to the end, I found the last few missions before the shock ending, which BTW was quite good very boring....

But the riding shotgun or following other riders to reach a mission did get a bit samey.. the way he'd chat about anything on the way, lol thankfully you could skip to the place you were heading for some of this...

Good game, worth a play through and if you can find it cheap worth picking up...
