Must be doing something wrong but I'm having a hard time using the lasso.  I can hit someone just fine, but they usually break free quickly, I've tried holding to the fire button and the aim button but neither seems to keep them in the lasso consistently.

Keep LT down and make sure you're still moving towards them, and Marston will keep reeling it in.  It's kind of hard to describe, but it's easy once you get it.

That must be it, I usually lasso something while doing a drive by, so by the time I hit I'm usually moving away a little bit instead of getting closer.  Need to practice tonight.

Hahaha, I just saved a guy being chased by wolves, and as he is thanking me, he gets run over by a stagecoach and killed

Woot, finally won a game of horseshoes.  I'm loving liar's dice, poker is ok, only played blackjack once but I'm not sure what the ultimate goal was since I was given chips.  I quit while I was even but I don't think I was given any money back.

The only goal in blackjack is to walk away with more chips than you started

Half the missions (especially for the government) were set up as

"Do this"
"NO!"
"We'll kill your wife and son"
"wait, really?"
"Yeah and then you'll go to  jail"
"OK"

Been to busy to play this much lately, still enjoying it though.  My only issue so far is how easy the combat has been.  Marston's aim is so deadly that I can kill dozens of bad guys from a mile away just by clicking the snap-to aiming button.  Does it get any harder?

Turn off the auto aim and it's a lot better

Please tell me there is a mission to bust them out of the jail and then slaughter the ones threatening them :D
