Bare knuckle boxing.

[hairymason]

Two questions about this.

1. Has anyone ever beaten a Caliban or a carrion with bare fists? I was too scared to try. I beat all the others that way, except for the bosses. I don't have the patience to fight the bosses that way cause it would involve a lot of dying I presume. I did kill a two-back this way and I would advise against it. It wasn't pretty, but that was also before I read the tips on all of Travis' fighting moves.

2. How did Travis get so damned tough anyway? And don't tell me it's cause he was a trucker. I used to be one. While they do have to be tough mentally to handle the job. They aren't exactly prime physical specimens, and half the tough guys I met over the road, weren't too apt to fight if you called them on their big talk. They can play the quiet man role, but if you were really that passive, you wouldn't have been talkin' tough to begin with.

REVEAL SPOILER

So anyway, I know he had to be an orphan.

That's the best guess I got, unless he was into boxing or something he was into that I overlooked.

There was someone I was chatting with on myspace today that claimed they killed everything but bosses with their fists to get the brawler accolade unlocked. I'm not sure if I believe them, but it should be possible. I bet they got the UFO ending to shorten it up.
I agree with you put about truckers, too, by the way. I know three ex-truck drivers (why doesn't anyone ever stick with that profession? lol.) and they are some of the wimpiest people you could ever meet. One even got a concealed carry license because he talks big all the time and has lots of enemies. Silly people! Always trying to be big and bad.

[hairymason]

I guess you could kill everything with your fists to get the brawler accolade, but I got it when I only killed straightjackets and ariels with my fists, one remnant maybe, but I didn't have to kill any bosses. The gloves you get are primo though! The guy on MySpace is prolly full-o-snot. That's not all neccesary, And I would like to know how he killed the Dad boss without projectiles. Every time I got close I got smacked down like Emmanuel Lewis vs. Triple H.

(why doesn't anyone ever stick with that profession? lol.)

I think noone sticks with that profession because you have to schedule your entire life around it. it doesn't pay well for the hours, since you're always on the road away from home. Almost everyone you deal with is an asshole. There is better pay with time, but it will drain you psychologically. So good luck making it that far. You have to pay for showers, you have to walk to anywhere with a small parking lot, lot lizards will harrass you to the bitter end, and they don't brush between hummers, so I would advise against them. No kitchen in a truck either. Lots of money go to either cooking (long story) or resturants. Everyone on the road believes that an eightythousand pound truck can stop in 2 feet. Aside from that though, it's a great job.

[Wren]

The ending said it all!
Yeah, that's pretty much all the reasons why I could never be a trucker. I'm sorry it didn't work out for you.

I'm sure that dude was full of it. I ran into him again a half hour ago and the birthday, avatar and "real" name on his profile were changed. I'm blocking him. He's obviously a troll. I can't believe I even slightly fell for that!

how to get those gauntlets?? help

[Lilacatz]

@silentfanhill
Oh you're gonna get a visit from a moderator soon. YOU HAVE SPAMMED!!!!
Well the answer is on google, as always, and on any video game website like gamespot.com.
But the answer is quite easy. JUST BEAT THE CRAP OUT OFF ALL MONSTERS WITHOUT USING ANY WEAPON AT ALL.
Or are you having problems unequipping a weapon?

@Hairymason
You can! But is easier while using the moon gauntlets.

REVEAL SPOILER

Even the abstract daddy died with TWO PUNCHES,.faster that the weird Alien gun. Even the Devil falls but it took me a few punches more even with the Gauntlets. The only monster left for me to try is the Piñata mother..

[Ratiocinator]

After 5 minutes dealing with weapons that broke 15 seconds upon using them, I beat the entire game with just my fists. They never broke, never worn down and always got the job done.

[nur_ein_tier]

What Ratio said. I just said, "To hell with these crappy breakable weapons" and just beat the shit out of everything bare-knuckled. It was therapeutic.

No idea how Travis managed to be this tough, though. You'd think your hands would break long before some of those weapons...

[Uhtred]

Agreed. It's not hard at all just a little more strategic thinking required to dodge those pesky monsters.

[Lilacatz]

Update.
I have punched to death ALL monsters including ALL bosses.

[JaneTheNurse]

Here's my advice on how to do this:

1.) Run up to enemy
2.) Hit with fist
3.) ???
4.) PROFIT!!!

[Augophthalmoses]

A fists only run would be pretty interesting. As for punching: it's slow, it takes a while...but for some reason it's always satisfying. I don't know why. It's just kind of funny to walk up to a Lying Figure and start punching the hell out of it.

[NarooN]

His fists were really powerful actually, I remember using them a lot just for the hell of it.

[Lilacatz]

@Verisimilitudo
OMG Daniella!!!

I love using the fists, but only with the gauntlets on.

[Ratiocinator]

I really want to play this game again because I did enjoy it but I only have it for the PS2 and I remember it was way too dark to play, even with the game -and- TV at max brightness. I'm reminiscing on me beating monster-ass with my fists and want to get my fix again.

[Granhunter101]

I thought Travis good at fist fighting because he was a truck driver. I guess my dad is the only tough one.

@Rationcinator: I just had a little chuckle at your payment instructions :

International Bidders:
If you win, do NOT pay for the invoice until I've contacted you.

You have been TOLD! I likes.
