Here's a newest Undead Nightmare trailer:

http://www.ign.com/videos/2010/10/18/red-dead-redemption-undead-nightmare-the-graveyards

It's just a movie-style trailer. I was hoping for an accompanying article or something detailing gameplay mechanics, but nope. Nothing like that to be found.

I loving love how cheesy and campy that was. I hope there are copious amounts of Living Dead references.

At what point do I make a backup save before the absolute endgame? Do I play up through And You Will Know the Truth and finalsave before the And the Truth Will Set You Free?

e: Disregard, I think I got it. Feel free to respond in case others might want to know v:shobon:v

After beating And The Truth Will Set You Free your next mission marker is "A". Just don't take the "A" mission and you don't begin the end game.

The past week i have been playing Hardcore Gang matches and using expert aiming exclusively. There is nothing in video gaming(aside from the gears2 two piece) that is more satisfying than getting a kill in this game without autoaim.


So which Metatag are people using nowadays? Is anyone down for hardcore matches?

I'm conflicted now about how I should pickup Undead Nightmare. I recently bought and downloaded all the current available DLCs for RDR, but I'm really keen on the idea of the full release hardcopy. Do we know a price range for that yet? I can't really find anything.

That would be kinda neat if they could just verify your PSN/XBL account and what DLC you've paid for (for RDR), and then let you pay a little extra for the disc/whatever DLC you don't have, and then ship you a hardcopy at a reasonable price since you already own xyz of it.

I discovered this recently as well. I'm not the best at it but when I get on a roll it's so satisfying. It's fun getting into a gun fight with someone; strafing, rolling, and dodging their shots before you end up planting a bullet in their skull.

Me and a buddy of mine have been rocking a two man posse lately. It'd be nice to extend that group a bit. Especially after last night when a posse of like 5 interrupted our hideout mission when we were trying to do some Lawbringer challenges. We were wrapping up a no-deaths run of Fort Mercer when this posse rolled up with fire bottles, dynamite and high powered pistols; ruining the no-death run.

Someone was trying to explain to me how it's looked down upon to use high-powered pistols. gently caress that noise, some folks just can't let go of the past. The 1911 is the finest handgun in the history of history.

:clint::hf::) congrats. I just finished another play-through yesterday too, and it was just as great as the first. I'm gonna wrap up this 100% (currently 98.5% - I think I'm missing bounties), and then dig into MP again with all the great new DLC.

It's the age-old "that weapon is too good, only nubs use it" concept. While I can agree with this in certain situations (like the AN94 and M60 in Bad Company 2), I don't necessarily agree with it about RDR, mainly because things like the Mauser and Semi Auto Pistol are fantastic too.

But then all three of those pretty much make the revolvers look like punks so who even knows :shobon:

It's not a 1911, it's a 1903 Hammerless. (or FN1903, they look exactly the same)

I like the high-powered in multiplayer mainly just because it pisses people off so much. It's such a quick kill people don't usually have time to react if you get the drop on them.

Then you can hear an awesome "GOD DAMMIT!" coming through their voice comm.

The High-Powered and the Mauser basically will beat anybody in a duel in multiplayer, you can shoot them hilariously fast.

Actually, since the game takes place in 1912, I just assumed it was the "brand new Army 1911" pistol as the endgame gun. Is it actually spelled out somewhere what the gun is/represents? Seems weird they would pick a more obscure gun instead of a time-appropriate iconic firearm.

It takes place in 1911. After the end, 3 years later, it's 1914. :confused:

So basically Rockstar doesn't even know what pistol they put in the game, therefore it can be whatever we want it to be :colbert:

Unrelated: I can't be the only one that walks into the Armadillo Saloon and intentionally starts loving with those Walton Gang hooligans that are always sitting in the corner table, am I? I've become very fond of going in there with the US Marshall outfit and shoving one or more of them off their chairs, and then walking calmly out to the street. Sometimes they come out for a brawl and we'll throw down, sometimes they come out shootin'.

Either way, when dressed as a US Marshall, I've got the bigger gang :clint:

Before I've had my morning whiskey and cracked some Walton teeth, I usually burst out of my room in Armadillo, and jump off the outside balcony. Once the dust settles, I stand there and look up and down the street for any morning trouble before my whiskey and fight. I'm also checking to see if Johnny Law comes out with a new bounty. If so, I skip the morning whiskey and fight, and I throw in a fat wad of tobacco and head out so I can get the morning jump on those bounty crooks while they've still got their swinging Richards out for their morning piss.

It helps to establish dominance.

haha I've gotten to the point where I know exactly where to jump over the railing outside the Armadillo saloon so that I land on my horse. It's funny how we all have our rituals.

Speaking of the Walton gang table in the corner of the bar, sometimes I'll come out of my room, look over the balcony, and put an explosive round right in the middle of the table, just to get the day started on the right foot.

gently caress it, I say it's a 1911. It certainly isn't hammerless in this pic. You see, I keep bringing it up because it's very important.

Victory for the monkey beast!
I was playing online last night and spent about an hour trying to kill another player with a huge bounty that was held up on the top floor of a building in Chuparosa. The main problem was that it was impossible to get the drop on him and he was probably at level 50, while I'm currently at level 9. How I eventually took him out was by shooting at the door he was behind to open it, which then let me keep shooting before he could react. I landed a headshot and got a whopping 200 xp for killing him, but I guess I really pissed him off because he spent the next half hour following me around the map trying to kill me.

Haha, good for you! Shooting closed doors can be really useful, especially when you use it to prep for a nice stick of dynamite.

Unrelated: The song Deadman's Gun on the Red Dead Redemption OST is such a good song. The calming tone that it's played in belies the real implications of the lyrics, especially once you assume the Stranger mission Remember My Family

>>>Click here for an amazing live version of Deadman's Gun<<<

quote:

Your hand's upon a deadman's gun
And you're looking down the sights
Your heart is worn, and the seams are torn
And they've given you a reason to fight

And you're not gonna take what they've got to give
And you're not gonna let them take your will to live
Because they've taken enough and you've given them all you can give
And luck wont save them tonight
They've given you a reason to fight

And all the storms you've been chasin'
About to rain down tonight
And all the pain you've been facin'
About to come into the light
