Aiming at the hand or even the arm should be enough to disarm your opponent.

Every time I try I screw up and die, it makes me sad. So I just blow people's heads off now, it's easier!

That certainly works too, of course!

Finally got out of Mexico. And was forcefully reminded that I'm back in a land where cougars exist. I'm getting better with them though.

I still enjoy it a lot but even so this game carries on a bit too long for its own good. Not so much in the main story, but the minor flaws every game has are accumulating to a point where they become notably annoying. I don't think I can bring myself to go out of my way to save one more lynch mob victim or fend off the 50th ambush with a helpless woman as bait (to Rockstar's credit, they keep introducing new random events even now, which helps).

Also I've been trying for Spurred to Victory as best as I could and made sure to look the other way when I so much as saw a hitching post and then I rode into Chuparosa and saved and I guess during those six hours my horse caught terminal horse cancer offscreen, keeled over and was shipped to Barnum's Salami & Glue Manufacture within the minute, so after saving I found myself with a brand new one. That settled that matter. Can't have been more than one mission away, either.

Spurred to VIctory seem's like a goofy choice for a Achievement/Trophy. Consider I've had my horse killed by cougars and wolves when just standing around. I even got off my horse during a fight once and it walked in the middle of it and got shot to death. So yeah, I didn't even try for that stupid one.

Hysterically enough, I got Spurred to Victory without even trying. I got attached to the fast golden Kentucky horse you get from the rancher chick, so much so that I restarted the game from my most recent save every time it died.
I even somehow managed to call that lovely horse into Mexico (despite the fact that it wasn't on the raft with Irish and I.)

Then I randomly got the "Spurred to Victory" achievement. Heh, nice.

(Of course if my PS3 has truly bugged out I may have to replay the entire game all over again...)

You don't need to restart it if the horse dies, the deed for the horses never disappear and are reusable so everytime it died I just reused my deed.

Right, but y'see, I don't even own the deed. I'm too cheap to spend money on that. I just happen to own the same damned horse I got from whats-her-name way back in that early story mission. Whenever it's died, I've restarted the game to ensure its continued existence.

Horse deaths so far:

1. cougar
2. cougar
3. cougar
4. total existence failure while John was asleep
5. when I whistled, spawned on a steep rock above a narrow cliff path I was walking along and tumbled down the rock and over the cliff right in front of me trying to reach me

krogothwolf · 05-31-2010, 05:38 PM

Haha, I got you a better one, My horse spawned 20 feet above me and fell on my head killing John! Plus the cougars, I hate cougars.
