I think I got the story: Jack makes a deal with the Mysterious Stranger to bring back John. The Stranger grants his wish in return for Jack's soul. But Jack gets greedy and starts asking for Abigail and Uncle. The Stranger curses Jack and starts bringing EVERYBODY back from the dead. John, now given a redemption, now has to right what Jack has set wrong and finally set the boy straight. Armed with Nigel West-Dickens and Seth--two people who would be able to do something along the lines of mysticism that he knows directly--they go off to reverse everything. Unfortunately for John, he's put a lot of people in the ground who want a chunk of him and wish to remain animate if rotting. So Ross, Dutch, Escuella, and various other people are craving for Marston blood and everything living that goes with it. Sure, there's no loving way this would actually work and it's most likely a prequel, but a goon can dream.

Every story theory seems to involve the supernatural. How about "Harold MacDougal: Re-Animator"?

It would be cool and funny if it was everyone that's had West-Dickens' formula gains eternal good health... After they die. Would be a very 'What has science wrought' kind of thing, which, couple with Dickens' wanting only to be rich, is funny to me.

However, here is the only thought to either of the above: What causes the animals to turn to zombies? For Mad Doc Cthulhu, I doubt even Satan himself would reanimate wild beasties, just to cause some poo poo and Sir Spaniard, NWD wouldn't give his elixirs to no drat animal, as they could not pay him fair market value for them. Then again, if some poor sap was swindled and didn't know any better he might pour it out and give it to his dog/horse. Has there been any mention of zombie versions of any of the less dangerous animals (rabbits, coyotes, skunks, and my favorite, birds)?

Or a zombie attacks a wild animal, it dies, comes back. Edit: I can't see it being a story Jack's written, if Abigail's a zombie. Really can't wait to see what they've come up with for the reason. Either way, it'll be a lot of fun. Sir Spaniard fucked around with this message at 05:58 on Oct 7, 2010 |

Tonight's super fun in Free Roam involved taking MacDougal over to Thieves Landing for a coked-up tomahawk rampage. There was good ol' Harold, running around screaming "I JUST WANT TO UNDERSTAND YOU!!" and chopping up everyone he sees. Cocaine is a hilarious mistress.

Has anyone ever seen an animal fight? I was up in Tall Trees and saw a Wolf and Bear fighing each other. I thought the Wolf had chased it off but then the Bear ran back and killed the Wolf with one swipe.  I shot the Bear after that.

I've seen coyotes gathering around dead deer, and wolves chasing them and attacking deer, but never two of the aggressive animals fighting each other.

Yeah, I saw a pack of wolves attacking a bear up there too and I just sat there going  "HOW THE gently caress DO YOU LIKE IT, FUCKER?"The bear killed at least one wolf, but they eventually went over a ridge and I never saw the outcome. I also saw a chinese man crying over a dead body, so I went up to check it out. After a few seconds the guy quietly pulls out a gun, and I tensed but he put it to his skull and blew his own brains out.  I'm not sure why, but that disturbed me more than anything else so far.

I went to shoot the gun out of the guy's hand when I saw one of those last time I played. I was in a bit of a rush to do so, and shot him in the head myself. Lost honour. Even though he was trying to do the same thing.

I'd prefer not to go there at all. Maybe the holy water is got cleansing the zombie bite/scratch she got on her arm.

quote:If you still aren’t compelled by our Weird Western take on Red Dead based on the screens, trailer and info released so far – we hope that the features we reveal in the coming weeks will do so and we would still urge you to give it a try come release day. When you see hordes of the undead moving across the plains, in an open world setting, you will experience something entirely unlike any other zombie game and that feels as much a part of classic American lore as the Wild West itself. We think putting zombies into a world that we, and we hope, you all, know and love really works as you already know the characters and the world - and to see them transformed by the undead horde is a big part of the fun and helps make zombies interesting as a theme. I cannot wait until this comes ooooooooooooooooooooooout.

No bow and arrow, plenty of weapons (the blunderbuss and torch are only two of that), and some other stuff. Yet no word on the new 'area' of the game. And it takes place during the Rancher missions?

Just had a fun happen. Was going after the Dastardly achievement in Hennigan's Stead, laid down the lady on the tracks, train comes along, explodey goodness ensues. Immediately after, a nun comes up and, "after hearing about my goodly deeds," asks for a donation. I gave her the donation, then shot her in the back of the head. I let her keep the money though.

Ah, so it's gonna be an alternate final act. That's what I figured it would be, but not exactly what I had hoped it would be. Still, the idea of hordes of zombies shambling over the desolate landscape just sounds so menacing. Zombie games really don't do menace.

Not worth it if you're not planning on playing multiplayer though. The zombie DLC is singleplayer oriented, with a few things for multi. Zombie skins, probably new weapons. Hopefully a new mount (that's not a legendary). The previous DLC's are pretty much just multiplayer addons though.

I am stupidly happy that they have the zombies as headshot only. Well, headshot, explosive rifle, dynamite, fire bottle, torch, executions, etc, but HOT drat THIS IS GONNA BE AWESOME!!!! Man the wait for this is going to be loving horrible. If I had a job I would make sure to take the day off just to play it on release day. Guess there are good things about being unemployed

If valve is testing the water for some kind of full on zombie openworld game I'm a god drat happy person. Dead Rising is awesome, but I want Grand Theft Zombie. Some people think zombies are played out. They are wrong. Zombies can never be played out.

I think zombies done in retarded ways are totally played out. I don't need any more "OMG WACKY ZOMBIES LOL!" games/movies. I'm done with those. Dead Rising 2 gets a pass cause it kind of started this trend in games. But stuff like this doesn't make me go "ugh zombies again?!?!" at all, because it looks like it's being done well. I would kill for a zombie mod in GTA IV as well, cause gently caress, that would be awesome.

It'd be cool if it knocked em down and maybe stunned them for a moment, but I'm ok with headshots only to stop them entirely.
