Violence begets violence bugged?

[Vittus]

Hey guys!

I'm currently really struggling with getting the Violence begets violence achievement that's awarded for choosing the revenge ending. I've already beaten the game on every difficulty setting, choosing both endings along the way but I somehow never seem to get this one achievement. I've also replayed the last level and the finale multiple times to try to trigger it, but nothing seems to work. Is this some kind of bug? Can anyone help me with this?

P.S. It's also worth noting that I didn't get the achievements for completing the game and doing it on Hard until after I've completed my 2nd playthrough, which was on the true west difficulty.

You need to kill bob bryant in a honorably way in the last duel. If you shoot him before he draws its classed as a dis-honorably kill. If you have then your achievements are screwed somehow.

The achievement just state....

Violence Begets Violence
Kill your lifetime nemesis honorably in a duel

Tried that too, I even waited for him to shoot and then dodged just to make sure, but it still didn't show up. Is there any place to report this? I realise it's not that big of a deal since it's just an achievement, but it would still be nice to get it.

I don't know Vittus, first I did forgiveness then the next day I replayed the level and got violence begets violence.

By the way, you have earned one more achievement than I have. I did two playthoughs and enjoyed playing everytime. Great game.

If you think you earned it, but it is bugged for you, you can try the Steam Achievement Manager.

Update: So I tried it again today and it suddenly worked for some reason. Maybe it had something to do with my internet connection since it was kind of on the fritz for the past 2 days, but regardless, everything's fine now. Thanks for all the advice!

Vittus, you didn't use SAM did you. you were 5 achievements less this morning and now you have all achievements. Please tell me you never

Nah, I just tried it again and it somehow worked, it's a mystery to me too. Afterwards I just played the arcade mode until the end.

I don't really see the point in SAM, it's not like achievements ultimately mean anything.

I see no problem in using it. I never did so myself, but if you met all the requirements for an achievement and it is simply bugged, why bother? You rightfully deserved it. Even if someone uses SAM for whatever else reason, who am I to judge?
