Was a fix ever released for the freezing that you get when you try to run this on an old PS3? Reading all these awesome stories and not being able to play because the game freezes less than 5 minutes into itself is the most frustrating thing in the world.

This. It's unscripted and epic (in the classical sense) adventures like this that really spitshine an already wonderfully crafted experience.

I had a bounty in Bear Claw Camp and the guy took off down the hill, so I chase him, and before I could lasso him, these wolves come out and start biting his rear end. So I gun the wolves down, but he uses the opportunity to run off again. I call my horse and chase him down the road, and when I get there, a bunch of wolves come out and attack. So I fight off these, and of course, he's way the gently caress up the road again. I chase him down again, and by this time we're practically back up to that hunting cabin. I lasso him, and jump off my horse and another pack of wolves show up, so this time, I just shoot him in the back of the head and take off.

I knew it would be as soon as I heard about it. South(west)ern Gothic, killing zombies in your underwear, zombie bears, and they actually made a full mini-episode out of it instead of just tossing in zombies and ghosts and calling it a day.

I didn't know about this problem. I'm using my roommate's PS3 which he bought around launch time and the game never froze on me once.

Some quick googling brings up that it might have to do with the game data becoming corrupt. It mentions to delete the game data but not your actual save data.

I just realized I'm going to be on a plane flying away from my Xbox the day Undead Nightmare comes out. There is not a :negative: big enough to describe my feelings right now. I was counting on that download to clear the 2400 point mark so I could take advantage of Microsoft's promo this month, if I purchase it remotely from the Marketplace website it should still count, correct?

Lucid Delusion, you should definitely pick up Liars and Cheats if you're into the whole multiplayer thing. The new free roam hideouts are so/so, but the hunting grounds are a lot of fun if you enjoy killing animals (which you should). Although I'm usually opposed to buying skins/outfits, I do enjoy riding around as MacDougal while he shouts "I've a touch of the old jitters!" after planting a tomahawk in the back of someone's head. Also, riding around with the explosive rifle and using deadeye to one-shot people from a distance is incredibly satisfying. I am a man of principle, however; I only PK people who aren't clearing gang hideouts or who get mouthy after I blow them up.

Yeah the bounties can really be a wildcard, which is why they're so fun. The first bounty I ever attempted started at Hangman's Rock, I chased him (offroad) all the way to Rathskeller Fork, finally got him and hauled him back to Armadillo.

Another I did a while later, I was on the outskirts of Chuparosa riding up the hill. One of his buddies takes one last potshot at me, pegs the guy I'm hauling in the head, he falls off the horse and tumbles down the hill landing at the bottom. I killed him and his horse. Son of a bitch cost me $90.

Holy poo poo, when you play John as a vindictive rear end in a top hat in the game, the "greetings" button basically turns into an insult button.

"You look like you come from a close family friend... AN INBRED FAMILY" has to be my favorite. Just because it's so loving... mean. Not only is he insulting the dude, he is making drat sure he knows that it's an insult by explaining it.

Only real :psyduck: moment so far was when I killed all the people in Armadillo (again), and the last son of a bitch standing did that "challenge to a duel" thing. I killed 23 law officers, 12 horses, 2 dogs, something like 25 civilians and most of them WERE ON FIRE from the bullets cheat. I walked through gunfire like it was just a spring rain, and threw dynamite at hookers running from me.

Yet this redneck fucker is gonna be the one to take me down :confused:

This is making me giggle like a loving schoolgirl.

There is only one way to play multiplayer: Eric Morgenson, atop Bonzo, using nothing but the Buffalo Rifle. Be sure to hit the talk button as you ram down people. Somehow screaming 'CHAAARGE!' in the Brian Blessed tradition while doing so is so very, very appropriate.

I'm not passing into Legend. There are many miles to go before Morgenson and Bonzo fade, and it's going to be filled with drunkenness, violence, bloodshed, and possibly trampled women and children.

Well, it took me forever, but I finally got "Redeemed." It's glitched all to hell and gone as far as Social Club is concerned. The site showed me as needing Plata Grande to get my last .1% toward 100, but in the end I did all the others as they popped up and then it gave me Ojo del Diablo instead of Plata Grande. I was really concerned, but decided to go with it, and sure enough when I brought the bounty in I got the Achievement. Jesus was that fun. Now I've gotta get the two new outfits. I can't believe I took a break from this game.

Vis, not sure about b, but regarding a) The horse you have currently is a jerk.

Some horses are worse than others. They're all different. Some'll come straight to you when you whistle, some will run past you, let you get close, and then play keepaway, usually until you get fed up. Most will wander off at least a little once you get off.

I just got around to installing the hunter dlc, and i already had a bunch of the stuff unlocked but needed to kill the jackalope and the cougar with dynamite. So I head to rio bravo and this cougar runs up, i soften him up with two shots, trying to kill him and hoping to blast the revenge cougar, but then he runs off. So oh poo poo, there's this wounded cougar running around that I can no logner see who REALLY hates me now. I'm real edgy and so the first rustle in the grass i see I target with the dynamite in deadeye. Turns out it's the jackalope who I blast to kingdom come! Then 2 seconds later that cougar comes back and I blast him too! I love when things just come together.

edit: then find the revenge cougar laying down licking it's paws, sniped it. Felt secure so i got off the horse to skin the jackalope and cougars, then oh poo poo second revenge cougar! I got him but i'm getting the hell out of here before I end up dead.

Haha! I love this game!

Earlier today, I woke up and decided to rob the bank in Armadillo (again; it's getting robbed like an old lady's trailer). It's night time and I've got my bandana on, crouched by the window. I throw an elbow and unceremoniously bust out the window and jump through. Two minutes later, I'm standing outside with fat pockets all :smug: and taking off my bandana, contemplating where to go next.

And then I hear a dog snarling reeeal close to me.

It's ol' Butch the Armadillo dog, and he's pissed. I wonder what it is? Eh, it's probably just some drunkard roughing up one of the ladies at the saloon. I turn and curiously walk towards where I hear the snarling dog, but it's just around the corner out of sight. As I'm turning the corner, the dog erupts in a flurry of pissed off barking, and two dark shadows dash right past me, knocking aside a metal bucket at my feet. One of them is definitely Butch, chasing what looks liiiike... a rabbit?? Tough to tell in the moonli--wait are those antlers? OH poo poo BUTCH IS CHASING MY JACKALOPE NO BUTCH WHAT'RE YOU DOING DONT KILL IT NOOOOOOO

Two Schofield .45 shots later, and ol Butch is hurt and scared... But alive. Poor bastard didn't know what in tarnation he was staring at, but he drat well knew that furry little antlered bastard wasn't right! I'll leave a note for the doc about giving Butch a look before I leave town. Hopefully the deputies were too drunk to notice the shots, and maybe the bloody, skinned animal twelve feet from Marshall Johnson's jailhouse will help explain a bit.

Who'd have thought? A jackalope running through the center of Armadillo being chased by one very loud and very pissed off old rottweiler at 3AM while I'm standing there on broken glass with my thumb in my rear end and freshly-robbed money falling outta my pockets. Okay. So it wasn't quite the professional grizzled hunter-in-a-tree-stand that I envisioned in my head, but gently caress it. I've got jackalope antlers sticking out of my saddlebags. So it'll do, John.

It'll do.

Jesus...

I played through Chuparosa last night, much like I did Armadillo and Blackwater, meanin I rained hellfire bullets on the damned while blowing up random strangers with dynamite (hey, if the lord doesn't want em dead, he won't let the dynamite blow up... side note, he apparently wants a lotta people dead), and hhhoooolllyyy poo poo.

loving... dead mexicans everywhere. This is like a Lou Dobbs wet dream.

Squads of em would run in (women and men in ponchos, kinda odd) and there would be 6-10 to a squad instead of the usual 4 or so that would show up in Armadillo.

I also felt kinda retarded cause I learned that you can get up to the top of the building that is the sheriffs office. There is a bedroom hidden off in the back, and a ladder that leads up to the top of the tower.

It's not often you can climb on a 3 story rooftop, look down on a city and quote Ozymandias. Everything in that city was dead, nothing was spawning, and I had so many dead people that the corpses were vanishing before they hit the ground. Look upon my works ye mighty, and despair. I am become death, destroyer of worlds, and slayer of rear end in a top hat mexicans who cheat at poker.

The thing that started the whole "gently caress it, kill em all and let god sort of em out" rampage? I was playing poker, and this fucker laid down 4 aces, which is AMAZINGLY hard to do since I had an ace in my hand. I quit the game, and blasted him in both hands and the nuts with my revolver. Everyone went batshit, and about 4 hours later I had wiped out another town.

Mexico may be a shithole, but sometimes it's pretty fun.

Four horses of the Apocalypse confirmed as mythical creatures, each one having a special ability. War can set zombies on fire with its hooves, Pestilence and Famine have infinite stamina, and Death can explode zombie heads.

New weapons include, holy water bombs, zombie bait with an exploding variant, and the Blunderbuss uses zombie parts for ammo.
