I tried out multiplayer for the first time since getting the game a few months ago. Got invited to join a posse, warped to the leader, he killed me 6 times while I was supposedly helping him with a gang hideout, and I quit. I went right back to finishing up my 100% on singleplayer. I guess I regret getting the multiplayer DLC now.

That was a pretty great session. Sorry SirSpaniard and Darth_Brooks; I wasn't in a place where my PS3 could connect to the internet, so I couldn't respond to your friend requests right away. Also explains why I was asking so many questions about the DLC, too. Don't have to worry about that any more, though.

I woke up at 5am this morning because I couldn't sleep so fired up RDR and hopped into advanced co-op with two pubbies. Cut to an hour and a half later, the three of us gold medal all advance co-op challenges and I'm two achievements better and a level up because of it. MP is a crap shoot, like all games.

Holy poo poo multiplayer Liar's Dice is awesome. Also, for the 'win a full table with max blinds' achievement - what's the maximum blind? Every game I've played in so far has included four idiots who go all in on the first hand, bust out and then generally fishy play among the survivors. Which makes for good money but I have no idea what the max blind is that I need to hit.

Anyone wanna organize some kind of game trade so I can get the new (and maybe old too) DLC? I've got some decent PSN games you could download in exchange. IF you're interested hit me up a PM.Scarf posted:My headset is f'd up. Any recommendations for a relatively cheap but worthwhile replacement?

Well this is fun, my friend went to change characters after we both hit level 50, and when he left the character select area, he spawned in freeroam in the same area. It's that area north of Blackwater above the ridge. It has the torches still there but no wagons and tents with people on them or the mounts. We've been exploring the area and even when i fell in the river it spawned me back up here. There are fun glitches like hills with no clipping so you walk through them, holes in the ground where to fall and respawn back on land, and a bunch of rocks that when you walk over them they make a splashing sound like you're walking in water. Edit: just sent some ps3 invites if people wanna check it out

Just finished the single player story. Probably one of the best endings to a game in a long while; wraps up the story neatly while leaving room for a sequel. I really enjoyed the game as a whole. I wonder if we'll be able to play the zombie DLC as Jack? I know a lot of people don't like him as a character, but I find him a neat opposite to his father.

Yeah, it annoyed me how blatant it was with what was basically in game advertising saying 'want this? buy it!'. It wouldn't have bothered me too much, had it not happened before it was even on the PSN store. It was sitting there, rubbing in the fact I didn't have it, and couldn't buy it yet. (quit rubbing it in, jerks.   )

I just picked this up again, and to make it a little different I'm playing without the mini-map in the corner. It's crazy how much more immersive it is like this. There's loads of little things, like how I'm learning trails and landmarks to find my way around without checking the map every 30 seconds. Listening to the horse and getting a feel for how hard you can push it instead of just watching the little bar, sticking behind cover and keeping a constant eye out for where enemies are during a firefight. I was about to go do the Pike's Basin mission with the Marshal when a storm came in. I straight away thought hold up, it'll be hard to see the bandits in this weather, better just rest until it passes. Plus having no hud on screen just makes the game look great.

It's one of the old first-gen ones with the bulky connection thingy. I went out and picked up a Turtle Beach X11 headset recently. I really like it, but on the downside you look equal parts Russian cosmonaut/biggest nerd who ever lived while wearing it. I think I got it for like $45 on Amazon, but the price appears to have gone up to $52. I spent a ton of time this weekend grinding Pike's Basin and still didn't get past the first prestige.  edit: grammars A Quiet American fucked around with this message at 15:22 on Sep 27, 2010 |

A Quiet American posted:I picked up my Xbox in 2007 and had the headset die quite recently. The problem I had was that the connection near the puck was messed up, so I could transmit fine but could only hear people intermittently. No matter how I moved the wire or taped it up I couldn't seem to get a solid connection. For the record, we could hear your mic transmitting sounds from your TV, but we weren't sure if you were talking. Oh weird. Yeah, it would transmit because I tested it with a voice-message to a friend. Hmm, I guess for the time being I can just tell it to do playback through my TV and I can still talk while playing.

I was on all weekend though taking advantage of the double XP, mostly playing the co-op missions because that's still the most fun multiplayer RDR for me. The double XP was great, too. Got from 45 to 50 finally, and then went Legendary and got all the way back up to 26.

Yeah this was a lot of fun although it got a bit poopsocky after a while. I think I started the weekend at 37 and made it past 50 back to 19 legendary. I lingered on 50 for about an hour before I realized you can't actually ride Bonzo around on a free mode server or every rear end in a top hat with a gun will just chase after you trying to murder you and steal it. Seemed like a lot of the PS3 people had the DLC though, and I enjoyed playing as Nigel West Dickens. davebo fucked around with this message at 16:17 on Sep 27, 2010 |

I require more double XP weekends. There's bound to be one after they release Undead Nightmare, but if they don't do at least a couple more I will never have a zonkey to call my own.

I didn't reset after I hit 50 because I didn't want to completely redo some of the challenges I haven't finished yet, mainly killing 25 public enemies (so close!) and traveling 150 miles on horseback. Which means there better be some drat double XP weekends later on!

I got from level 24 to 44 just killing cougars. It felt pretty cheap, though, and it sure was a grind. I'm not sure I can stand to level up to 50 without the double XP, and I sure as hell can't do this repeatedly to get the zonkey.

The thing about the travel 300 miles on horseback (that's the one I'm missing, not 150 miles) is that I'd literally have to traverse the map about 20 times to complete it with no purpose other than getting that stupid title. And yet I still held off hitting Legend. Maybe I should just stop chasing titles and just play for experience and worry about the challenges later, I dunno. I'm still waiting for them to add an achievement for 5x Legend and loving with my OCD even more.

The problem is you can only ever use one title are a time, but EVERYONE can see that you're not 3rd Legendary level by now and you really should be.

I understand both the feeling of accomplishment from completing tasks, and also the completely arbitrary uselessness of "have a higher number show before your name, hurr" It was the easiest thing in the world for me to not give a poo poo about, until they went and threw it in the GTA engine.

On top of that, they put it in my absolute favorite setting, which is Old West / cowboys. I was just thinking last night that I would not mind a cattle herding side job. A lot of people didn't like those missions, but it was relaxing for me and I would never stop playing the game if they put one in.
