Two general observations:

1) I helped a sheriff round up some escaped convicts earlier, in one of those random events. I killed the first and hogtied the other and brought him back to the sheriff alive. He told me they were real doers of misdeeds, thanked me, and then coldly shot him with a pistol before limping off! I've done this before but never has he shot him.

2) I notice the place with the big oil wells is called Plainview. I'm assuming this is a nod to Daniel Plainview, Daniel Day-Lewis' character in There Will Be Blood.

Has anyone watched a movie, yet? The one I watched was hilarious.

It was about a salesman selling dodgy medicines. One side effect was for a guy to shit out his tape worm, then proceed to dry hump a tree. Followed by a girl (suffering from toothache) who hallucinates and as a result chops up her mother.

Did the same this morning (except I knifed the second guy)! I was hoping I'd get extra for bringing one back alive... certainly didn't see it coming!

I must admit being brought up on Morricone the soundtrack isn't particularly great. It just lacks something that takes away a vital component of the game for me.

However, I am now streaming across my Morricone Western collection while playing the game. Words can't begin to describe how much this adds to the overall theme of the game.

How much of the game have you guys completed so far? I've done 23.4% of the game so far, according to the Stats section, which is in main menu.

And are you guys being good/bad guys? I'm being a good guy, helping out strangers whenever I can :happy:.

Once I've played through this, I may start a new game and play it as a badman :ninja:.

Loving it so far!

Ive played 50 odd %. Just unlocked the third section of the map.

Its weird seeing a car in this game lol.

I'm currently just at 10.6%, with a total playing time of 4 hours 33 minutes. Thought I would have completed a touch more and certainly believed I'd have hit around the 7 hour mark - pleasantly surprising really.

Jonny - I know what you mean about the soundtrack, while it's alright, it is exactly that; "alright". I'll always be in love with Dean Martin and Ricky Nelson's "My Rifle, My Pony & Me", I'm currently playing the album of the same name from time to time when I trot about the West. 'Tis beautiful, what it all should be about.

What has got me baffled so far is the Treasure Hunt and the map more specifically, the first piece of treasure apparently being in New Austin, yet we have a tree and a rock as a reference, this will be difficult I can see. :lol:

The first treasure map is easy mate. Just keep looking at the treasure map and look on your map. The bit i found the hardest was actually finding the treasure at the location.

The soundtrack is a little average but that can be rectified, the tone and the environmental sounds are phenomenal. I've thoroughly enjoyed the single player thus far but my penchant for bullets before questions had not done great things for my honour or keeping me out of trouble with the law. I'm facing a $1000+ bounty at the minute.

Has anyone received their code to redeem the additional content for pre-ordering?

Yeah, I pre-ordered mine with Amazon and got an e-mail with the code on the day I received the game. It says the additional content is "Golden Guns" but I've no idea where it works.

Downloadable content from the main menu (triangle I think, before choosing single player or multiplayer), choose to enter a code and enter it there.

I mean I have no idea where the Golden Guns come into play in the game; I've already installed the content.

The golden guns are supposed to appear in the single player I thought but I haven't even received my code. I might email them.
 
Loving the single player at the moment, only done the first 5 missions or so, but just spent four hours today riding round and exploring.

Been hunting like a mad man, taking down deer, bucks, cougars and coyotes whenever I get the chance. Got around $700 now, so money ain't a problem for me at the mo!!

Oh, and the "flowers for a lady" stranger mission has one of the strangest endings I have ever seen, try knocking the suitcase off the shelf at the end and see how the old girl likes it......lol

I really dont know how im going to get the $10,000 money achievement. Ive currently got $2500 and its taken me ages to collect that much. I havent bought anything extra (horses/guns etc) and i usually loot all dead people. I really cant see me making $10,000 unless i sit at the poker table in blackwater (has the highest betting) and win which takes quite a long time to win $500 a game.

Ive been riding round doing all the gang hideout missions, earning money but its still going to take for ever.

I did pay for a taxi to get from blackwater (top right of map) to Noscala (SP?/Bottom left of map) and it was going to be $26 but the game charged me $136 so when the journey was over i blew that motherfuckers head off and got my money back :D

I do love the randomness of this game.
 
LE version buyers, take a closer look at your guns, when you pull them out for combat, they are gold, thats how they come into play.

Just started the bounty hunting missions, crippled the guy, threw him on my horse then he got killed by his gang members!! Reloaded save lol.
