1)If a bounty gets away, do you get a chance to get him later? (like will his bounty poster ever be displayed again?

I don’t know, but it shouldn’t matter. There are an infinite number of bounties available.

2. How do you guys handle the hooker (and others) who call for help, but only steal your horse? I tried having my gun ready to shoot her off the horse when she pulled me off it, but the game didn’t really let me as it kind of went to a cut-scene where I watched the bitch ride away on my horse.

I never experienced any problems like that. I always pulled my gun and killed the horse thief.

3. Who do you help when you hear gunshots or yelling? Sometimes I get there too late. Sometimes I kill the wrong person.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t do anything, generally, so I often just pass by.

So a few questions for you people who have more experience with this game.
1)If a bounty gets away, do you get a chance to get him later? (like will his bounty poster ever be displayed again?
2) How do you guys handle the hooker (and others) who call for help, but only steal your horse? I tried having my gun ready to shoot her off the horse when she pulled me off it, but the game didn’t really let me as it kind of went to a cut-scene where I watched the bitch ride away on my horse.
3) Who do you help when you hear gunshots or yelling? Sometimes I get there too late. Sometimes I kill the wrong person.

1: I don’t know if you get that particular one again, but you’ll get other bounties.

2: With a rifle equiped, you can shoot them off the horse. The cut-scene moment doesn’t las that long and you can still take a handful of shots at the jacker.
3: Press right bumper, look around for the blue dot. Try using dead eye give yourself some time to determine who’s hostile when you see them. Or remember that when there are several persons figthing 1 person, the group is usually hostile while the 1 person is friendly. With the huge exeption of lawmen running after a fugitive.

Careful here. Pointing your gun at a lawman is itself a crime.

As I found out, even aiming your lasso at a lawman can get you in trouble.

2. just hit up on the dpad to whistle for your horse, it’ll toss the horse thief off. You can then let them run away (without a horse) or shoot them, but you lose honor for shooting them

3. usually if it’s two guys chasing one guy, the two guys are lawmen. But often it’s easiest to just walk up and see who starts shooting at you, then dead eye and kill all the red dots

Arrrgggghhhh! In an effort to finish playing before Justified came on TV, I accidentally pressed the X button on my controller and missed a cut scene I wanted to see…

I chased Dutch through a cave. At the end of that scene what happens? I pressed X and all I saw was the message that I should go home and see my wife and kid.

No one got back to you, Enright, so I’ll give it a shot:

I can’t remember all the details of the chase and the showdown, but essentially, you end up at a cliffs edge facing down Dutch. He’s pretty much spent and he rambles on nihilistically about the evils of man, and how we’re not so different, you and I and all that. Then as John is basically trying to talk him down from the ledge he pulls a Greg Louganis and half-gainers into the chasm. Deader than Elvis.

[Enright3]

Regarding the ending after the credits roll…

I don’t mind playing as Jack so much, but his high pitched voice is driving me nuts. Why couldn’t they have just used John’s voice, or another man’s deeper voice?

I’ve been quite enjoying it. I’ve finished up single player* and started on multiplayer. It’s actually the first time I’ve played a multiplayer PS3 game (and the first time I’ve played on-line since… oh, about 2005 or so.) I’ve been quite liking the multiplayer, even if it is very much in need of a patch.

Multiplayer will get some needed attention next month.
