I thought it was established, and I forget where I read it, that the zombies were the result of a renegade Native American shaman who had like a cult-type/Pet Semetary type thing going on ?

Still say it should have been Westworld themed  Also I hope to god that after the last of these DLC packs have been released they announce a PC port. Don't make me buy a console Rockstar. I never play them enough to justify the money they cost. C'mon man.

I hope they don't bother with canon and just make it a different kind of game mode you can enter from the start screen. Trying to cram a zombie apocalypse into what is a reasonably historically-accurate game would kind of ruin the fun.

More single player stuff is nice but mainly I just want to go a-zombie huntin' with my posse. Also wouldn't zombie cougars be pretty lethargic and easy to kill? Do animal zombies still want human brains, or just brains from their species, or any brains at all?

That is to say, zombie cougars will be exactly as fast and horrible as regular cougars, except they also won't make any sound and will cause your horse to turn into a zombie and attack you.

One type is the classic wrapped in bandages, arms straight out, shuffling along going "moooaaan" Then there's the "fast zombie" type, such as Half Life 2's and I Am Legend's kind. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCFdpOMiCzs Imagine hearing this at night, in the woods.

Remmiz posted:Speaking of HERBERT MOOOON...if you punch him a couple times so he fights back and pull a gun on him (but don't shoot), he will pull his out and start shooting at you. This triggers the law enforcement to take him down. However, Herbert Moon is built like a tank and will seriously take out every law enforcement officer in Armadillo and still be ready to take on even more. Quite hilarious to watch HERBERT MOON just take hundreds of shots and dole out mass carnage. I tried this today and it was the funniest thing I've seen in the game. After I got Herbert Moon to start shooting me about three cops came into the shop and proceded to open fire on him. About a minute later all the cops were dead and Herbert had about 100 bullets in his torso and 10 in his head (You could see the red spots and everything) and he was still going strong minus two working legs. After a while another cop came in to finish the job. Herbert still managed to take him down but shortly after he started to spaz out and after five minutes of the worm he died. R.I.P Herbert Moon, may you curse the Jews in heaven.

Hogarth Hughes posted:What I'd love to see in an RDR sequel is a game where the main character is an Indian. Would be awesome to be a Sioux or Apache fighting the US Calvary. There is really a lot of room for a great story along those lines, and I'm not aware of any western movies with an Indian lead, which seems pretty dumb. Yeah Dances with Wolves and all but this is about the white man getting in touch with the Noble Savage stereotype. I would like to see everything from their perspective for a change. The only ones I can really think of are Navajo Joe (starring Burt Reynolds) and the TV series Brave Eagle.

You mean they get revenge on the creature that turned them into a zombie? Well certainly it wasn't me, because I shot them all in the head the first time! Edit: vv oh gotcha, that makes sense. One time that happened with a bear so once i killed the revenge bear i just stood there instead of trying to skin it, and sure enough like 14 bears came at me in the span of a few minutes. davebo fucked around with this message at 19:51 on Sep 13, 2010 |

Revenge cougars are when you kill a cougar and then, while you're skinning it or reloading or something, another cougar materializes from nowhere and starts mauling the poo poo out of you from behind in revenge for its fallen brother. You'll sometimes see hilariously long revenge-cougar chains, where you've killed a dozen cougars and every time you turn around there's another one where there wasn't before, and it's charging right at you.

You know, it has been established that the zombie DLC is John only. No jack, taking place in 1911...so its finally a way to have permanent freeroam as John, which is what a lot of us were bitching for. Besides, the zombie world has stuff that the vanilla game won't, so looks like there won't be any reason to NOT just do the zombie game in single player, even after the missions are over.

Yeah see I've never heard of either of these things and can't imagine they were any good based on what I've just read. I think a video game would be a really good environment to deal with this perspective. We also need to be able to shoot arrows from horseback in bullet time, this is important.

You know, for the unfortunate souls who have not exposed themselves to the pure concentrated joy that is RDR.

I just finished this game for the first time today (I know, I'm late to the party) and I literally yelled "YES" at the top of my lungs when the final title card popped up. It was just such a perfect moment, a perfect way to end an incredible Western story. From beginning to end and everywhere in between, this was the most fun I've ever had with a game like this.

I wonder if we'll be able to herd zombie cattle? I suppose you'd drag a hogtied Herbert Moon in front of them. I just figured out that when I use the rolling block rifle, the white ring around the scope strongly hints at the location of my target. If it's glowing I'm spot on. Is this feature usual in games nowadays? I have no idea. bitey fucked around with this message at 03:42 on Sep 14, 2010 |

Whoever it was that first said to bait Herbert Moon into shooting you so the law comes after him, thank you. I just got him and a guy that looks exactly like him but with a fancy vest and hat to go all Unforgiven on Armadillo. I just hid behind a box and watched Herbert and his doppelganger fill every lawman within miles full of lead.

A Quiet American posted:Honestly if it weren't for the Elegant Suit I would've never fulfilled the requirement to clear the poker table at Blackwater. I had no idea how to play Texas Hold 'Em going in, so I spent a little while reading the rules online and kept a few probability tables out in front of me. Then I just cheated like a motherfucker. The AI was pretty dumb though, and could almost always be bluffed unless they had a legitimately strong hand. Don't use probability tables or play like people advise you to play real hold'em. This is Hollywood hold'em, where you should always go for the straight if you have a shot at it, bluff big and play loose. It's so loving fun. Regular hold'em feels like a huge grind in comparison.

Sir Spaniard posted:I can't seem to do it. Here is how you do it 1. Approach a Herbert Moon 2. Engage in fisticuffs, the Herbert Moon will either fight or flee 3. Whatever he's doing, point a gun at him. Even if he's running away from you, you can still point a gun at his back 4. The Herbert Moon will draw his Winchester and proceed to unload on you, find cover 5. Local law enforcement will come and try to neutralize the Herbert Moon 6. Watch as Moon-instincts take over the now-feral Herbert Moon

Man I finally finished the game. Definitely one of the best plots I've seen in that kind of game. Although I was hoping the world would be more different now. It looks like Abigail's tombstone says 1914 so at least 3 years have passed, and Jack looks like he aged more than 3 years so it could be even more... I haven't found a newspaper man yet. But I rode into Blackwater and everything is exactly the same. I was hoping there'd be a couple more cars parked on the side of the street at least or something to show that time had gone by

Sadly they missed out on what could have been the most fun thing to do in the game. (Besides making Herbert Moon go Rambo on Armadillo.)
