I HATE HORSESHOES!
Hey, anyone have any idea why I can't buy the US Army scrap at the tailor? Its the last thing I need to get that outfit.

You have to beat the storyline first.

Around the area where you met the guy to get flowers for.

You gotta finish the game, ya know get the credits and stuff. Then it's available. I wore it for five minutes and decided I didn't like it

Six. I was sure I could go back and kill all of them, but my ex gf told me that there is no way John survives.

There is no way

I was playing Free Roam last night, taking on Fort Mercer by myself, then two kids with green names came in, I figure that means they were in the same posse, and they just started blasting me!!

One of the kids had his headset on so I could hear him talking to his buddy, and it just befuddled me why they'd start killing me instead of the bad guys.

It's why I hate multiplayer. Little kids being douchebags.

Do what I do - as soon as you enter Free Roam, press the Select button and choose the option at the top of the list: Online Private Mode. It's Free Roam but without anyone else bothering you, unless you invite them directly. So much easier doing the gang hideouts without the 12-year old mouth-breathers shooting you for kicks.

Thanks. I'l go have a look around.

I HATE HORSESHOES! Its so f'n random. The controls don't do squat. I can close my eyes and do just as well. I want that damn Horseshoes and Handgrenades trophy but I can't take it anymore.

It's actually quite easy once you understand how the game works. First thing you have to do is aim. Hold down the aim button and line up your horseshoe so that the post is between the two ends of the shoe.

Setting the power and angle is very much like the analog swing on the Tiger Woods games. Just pull the analog stick back all the way, then push it forward and hit the button just as the marker hits that line in the middle of the angle meter. You should hit the post, if not get a ringer, pretty much every time.

Still waiting on a PC version of this. Hopefully it's better optimized than GTAIV.

Oh cool, thanks. I'll try that.

What???? I played it for like 2 hours the other day and couldn't even hit the post. I know how to do it generally, but its certainly not as easy as you say. And I do hit the release at the right time. I'm pretty good at getting it on or near the line. Still it only comes a shoe or more away most of the time.

I can only speak for myself but it really was easy, just make sure you aim and also control the speed of the release.

No offense, but you're obviously not doing it correctly. Remember that the back-forward motion with the analog stick should be one smooth, continuous motion. In other words, don't just hold the stick back for a second or two before pushing forward; it has to be one smooth swinging motion. All the way back, then immediately forward and hit the button as soon as the line hits the middle mark. Think Wii bowling.
