Rockstar isn't stupid. There will be separate Landon Ricketts and Herbert Moon packs, which will go for $10 a piece. The only think they'll add is the ability to use a Ricketts/Moon skin and some custom greetings. Everyone will buy them. Everyone.

The way I see it, you need someone to put down zombies in multiplayer. John Marston's good, but Landon Ricketts is the fuckin' zombie killing MAN. I could see packing him as a multiplayer skin with the zombie pack. Herbert Moon too, since in his world the only thing worse than a Jew would be a zombie Jew. well, not Jesus, but you know.

Now, I am actually going to have to think about picking this up, cause the only fun thing added seems to be the explosive rifle and I don't think that works in single player.

Normally I'd complain about how Nigel West Dickens wouldn't really be the sort of person to do all the stuff people do in multiplayer, then I remembered seeing him mow down hordes of pubbies, blowing up buffalo, and knife-fighting bears would be amazing.

He wouldn't do it normally.

But if it meant selling some of his snake oil, he would armwrestle a cougar. So it just adds to his character.

Wait why wouldn't it work in single player? Doesn't the tomahawk work? I thought someone mentioned some herbert moon tale that ended with a tomahawking, so I assumed it did.

Edit:vv Not necessarily, I'll bet it just takes forever to reload or something. It'll probably be like a one-shot kill sniper rifle but with closer range. I wonder if they're going to bother integrating it into the single player in such a way you'd need to earn it, or just let anyone willing to fork over $10 have it regardless of where they are in the story. People who pay $10 probably want to use what they bought right away and Rockstar wouldn't want people having hissy fits over it. And if it is overpowered then it'd just be like paying for a gameshark back in the day.

Yeah the tomahawk works in single player, I don't see any reason why the explosive rifle wouldn't. You'd have to get it near the end of the game though, it looks absurdly powerful. Not that RDR is very hard in the first place.

November is going to have multiplayer being packed with nothing but John Marston and Irish wannabes running around while a countermovement of Rosses snipe them from long distances while screaming 'work ya drat nag.'

Good thing I'll be down with the Harlows and Pig Joshes, trying to get those silly skin-based achievements.

So I hear PSN is going to be on an off tomorrow for maintenance and they're doing the store update tonight instead, so I assume the Liars DLC will be in there? They announced all the trophies and I can't imagine I'll get a single one since I have no intention of playing poker, liar's dice or stronghold, unless enough psn goons are around for a decent match. Spaniard and I tried to do a gang match for the first time ever, and after sitting in the lobby for a while it eventually just made us fight each other. It was quite sad.

Just gimme that explodey rifle and enough cougars in one place at the same time to see how much blast damage it incurs.

The last time I played a gang match or FFA was in June, and you'd often have a hard time finding a game going. People seem mainly interested in riding around in free roam and shooting people in the head while they're trying to gather herbs/grind hideouts.

If there's an option to draw your weapon at anytime during dice or poker you can expect that not one single game will ever be finished. Hell, probably not a single hand.

I've not even really seen that many people in free roam, outside of when davebo/others from this thread have been in the same game (happened once, and I kept dropping anyway :( )

The most I've seen outside of that was 3 people, for about 5 minutes.

The Co-op is definitely the best part of multiplayer, but there's not enough even in there at the moment. 5 areas is far too few.

It definitely depends on the time of day. I got the public enemy achievement by camping on the rooftops in Blackwater when there were one or two other people on, and they usually left trying to find a more populated game. In the early to late (but not late late) evenings it's usually pretty busy, especially on Fridays and Saturdays.

This is on XBL. I can't speak to how many people are on PSN. It's way more fun to hit some guy in the head with your carcano crouching in some bushes and hear "gently caress! Where IS that guy?"

A lot of times when it sticks me in free roam there'll be one or two other people there. Then I tell it to switch free roam servers and it'll stick me right in the middle of an 8 person free for all in blackwater. It's just luck of the draw. There's always going to be some populated servers, it's just a matter of cycling through a bunch until you find them. Also I want more co-op too.

I got the achievement the same way, but I kept getting griefed by players throwing dynamite on the roof. Even my headset-shouted pleas of "Don't tase me, bro!" wouldn't deter them.

Once you get the achievement, the next one is to become public enemy ten times. After that, you need to get it 50 times.

Try getting on the walled roof of the building in Rathskeller Fork. You're against a mountain range, so you can't be attacked from behind. There are not many NPCs in the area, but shooting a dog or a pig (there's a pen by the entrance) will get the ball rolling.

I would be absolutely losing it, like this guy was in the video, if the pack of man/fish/alien/wolves started nibbling on my jacket.

For me it always seemed to bring out a ton of whatever types of creatures were already clearly visible in that area. If I was looking for skunks in a place I had seen skunks before, but all that were around were a deer and a badger, and I put down bait, stepped away and waited, then I'd be blessed with about 7 deer and 5 badgers. Huzzah!

Problem is, if you want a bunch of cougars, and you manage to find one, then you sure as hell can't get off your horse and lay some bait until after you already kill the cougar and the revenge cougar (I love that phrase btw) that's waiting for you to kill the first one. At which point there will no longer be any cougars around and your bait will just attract 20 copies of the coyote you ignored.

Mad Doctor Cthulhu

Cougars always show up in Rio Bravo when it's dusk. Hit the bait then and you'll be swimming in them. Or just to the east of Rathskeller Fork: get off your horse, explore the mountains, and you'll be swarming with them at any time of day.

That werewolf video makes me wonder if this trend of animal humans isn't a trend as it's something related to the Undead Nightmare pack glitching somehow.

EDIT: I know I've been down on cougars for the last twenty pages or so, but let's keep in mind that all cougars at birth are innocent and cute:



And that you shouldn't use the explosive rifle on them because they are living creatures and deserve love.

And...OH MY GOD--



Never mind. Kill them all. They have no reason to live. And light them on fire as well, just to make them know you mean business.

It's probably a lot harder than normal when there are 8 cougars just rubbing up against you and you're making GBS threads your pants, and drunk. Kind of ineffectual cougars for the most part though.
