Just rented this game. So good.
Within 5 minutes I'd drank 5 shots, jumped off a balcony onto the back of a horse, shot a hooker in the face and rode off into the sunset. Westerns are the way forward.

Yeah, had to give it a go to see, was well surprised when it worked! There's always a horse below the balcony of your apartment in Armadillo, give it a whirl, its proper satisfying.

One thing, I can't seem to break the law without either being killed or being destroyed by about 10 men coming out of nowhere.. Am I just too early in the game to be a real badman yet?

i don't find it that hard to get away from the law, i'd say using dead eyes probably the best thing to do.
that said, the only time i really break the law is when im in mexico and the army are about to execute some rebels.
even after saving them i lose honor

facing the law is generally easier further away from the towns - an easy way to deal with them is race ahead of them, stop, turn around and pick them off as they approach.

Does anyone else constantly feel the need to be totally fucking cinematic with their movements... I've died loads of times because I was trying to make a simple attack look as cool as possible.
This game is terrible for my vanity.... and it's not like there's even anyone watching!

^ absolutely! But it's starting to spill into real life. I sometimes find myself teasing out a snot ball and thinking to myself, I wonder if people realise how good I am at this.

Yeah, all too often. All about expert targeting mode, riding in to battle and getting lucky shots on people. It gets lulzy later in the game, combine moonshine with some repeater that holds 22 rounds, and you can lay off 22 shots in one deadeye sitting, reload, and do 22 more before the moonshine runs out

every man, woman, and child alive needs to get this. It's seriously that great. Even just riding across the desert on your horse can be fun for hours.

It's a good job riding the horses is fun because I'm fucked if I can work the trains out.
Stole from a church last night.

What did people do on the American Appetite mission? Just interested on seeing how sadistic people are.

For a moment, I read that as "Stole a train from a church". Haven't tried stealing a train yet. Don't know if you can but I might have to give it a whirl when I get home.

I definitely haven't worked out how to steal it.
I got on, sat down and the fucking driver just sat there stoking the boiler for AGES... I think you actually have to wait for the timetable.
And it was facing in the wrong direction.
I ended up getting frustrated, unloading my pistol into the driver and then galloping off.... reached my destination in less time than I'd been fucking sat down, too!

Haha. Surely having to sit and wait for the train is taking realism too far. If they do another GTA London, they'll probably make you pay congestion charges or buy an Oyster Card. They could have a mini-game where you have to repeated mash the buttons on the controller to stop from falling asleep and missing your stop.
