Ha. Seriously, first time I hopped onto the train, I tossed a stick of dynamite down the smoke stack... I was really hoping for a catastrophic explosion :(

So what did happen? Did people just freak and run?

Spitshine posted:

Hahaha. That's exactly how I envision the conversation going, too.

I wish they'd at least implement it and tie it in with some sort of challenge, like players can hold out Wanted on it while lawmen try to overtake them on horseback like in SP Mexico.


..If not all the other awesome poo poo that Scarf said :cheers:

That would be awesome. It could be a little chaos challenge of its own: train robber. I don't see why it couldn't randomly spawn as well ala a stagecoach robbery.

I was messing around with Herbert Moon earlier. I fired a few shots in the air and ran him out of town. By the time we got to the cliffs outside Armadillo I "accidently" shot him in the spine. After about five minutes of trying to crawl back to Armadillo he shouted "I'M HERBERT MOOOOOOOOOONNNNN!.... AND THIS.... IS MY....SHOP" and then he died.

Goddammit Moon, you may be an anti-semite but you know how to make a man depressed. :(

Didn't stop me from going back to Armadillo and shooting everyone though. :clint:

I don't chase Herbert Moon. I drag the motherfucker. Just to teach him how hurtful bigotry can be. I see it as justice.

Just leveled up to 50, mainly by "hunting" cougars in a private session. Really cheesy. I don't particularly feel like doing the whole thing over again five times, so I guess I'm done with the game until Tuesday...

Same here. I've been tempted to toss it in and get the legendary achievement, but I figure that'll be what I do when the sequel comes out and I just stop giving a gently caress. Red Dead Wikia shows what I'm missing and it turns out not to be very much. Bonzo seems like a lot of fun, but it's meh. Playing Poker online has its upsides but most of the achievements I've gotten in MP are either luck, skill, or timewasting that I don't want to bother with.

Roll on Undead Nightmare!

Did it still take a while to explode? I would think the 'by a fire source' would cause an instant explosion. The game is realistic enough to have NPC go ouch when dynamite hits them before it explodes, so I dunno.

The new X-Box.com is kinda wacky, I tried searching your name so I could shoot you a message and it instantly sent a Friend Request instead. In any case, I should be on at some point tonight to play around in Free Roam a bit and practice expert aim some more. Doing hideouts has been good for that, as well as getting XP to level up. Fort Mercer gives so much XP.

Neat. Maybe they finally upped the number of friends we can have now. I doubt it but I'll hit you up next time I'm home.

I'll probably be heading home when UN drops on PSN (aus here), but I'll definitely be getting it the moment I see it on there. I have noticed I've been getting the releases later here than in the US, by a little. Took about a day and a half to get the new outfit pack. Can't wait to fire RDR up again. Hopefully it'll tide me over until GT5 finally comes out.

I don't understand why I'm not seeing Undead Nightmare ads for the standalone disk everywhere in stores and online. I haven't even found an entry on the sites where I normally pre-order games like play.com or bol.com (I'm in The Netherlands). Well, I just hope there will be enough supply of those disks on release day so I can grab one at a store. I suspect since a lot of people will just be downloading the DLC I will be fine. I don't have the other DLC's yet so I will choose the disk instead.

I was grinding out exp last night in Pike's Basin and I threw a stick of dynamite at a guy. Apparently it bonked him on the head and killed him because I got +10 exp before the thing even blew up.

I just noticed the Borderlands GOTY pack came out half a month ago and I finally saw it on shelves last night. Maybe Rockstar is putting it out silently so they can shock people into buying it in time for Halloween and the holiday season?

There was also one who didn't like the aiming mode, despite the fact you can spend 2 seconds just setting it to expert aiming in the options menu. That'd be like me complaining that Rock Band has an easy mode. People who can't play on hard simply shouldn't be allowed to enjoy the same game as me. But also they shouldn't have added pro mode to RB3 because people better than me shouldn't have fun either. As much as I have shitloads of fun playing games with goons and even goon meets in real life, there are some serious oddballs here.

RawDawg_ is the coolest person i've met on RDR by the way, if you are having apprehensions about playing with some eager but strange young goon. He is also ALWAYS playing RDR. While everyone else is playing the new hotness, he sticks to his guns and continues to play RDR.

I'm currently playing the new hotness (Fallout), but I want to play a bit of the DLC's I still haven't played before the new DLC hits. So i'll be devoting Sunday evening to this.

Anybody have any insight as to why I can't join Jacada today? Everytime I try to accept his invite, it says I don't have "the appropriate download content" to join him, but I have all the DLC to date. I was under the impression you weren't backwards-limited by DLC in RDR?

I just had the most obnoxious poker table of eight year olds ever. They were definitely under 10yo, loud, obnoxious, and all friends (judging by how they chatted with each other). Call me juvenile, but there was probably little in recent RDR MP memory that gave me a better feeling than busting all five of them out consecutively after being lambasted with prepubescent poo poo talk for the last twenty minutes in Free Roam against them :colbert:

even though they clearly didn't know how to play

That wasn't a real fight. The bear wasn't being aggressive and obviously figured out why the cougar was freaking out. That's why it took off. If it really wanted to, it would be really loving with that cougar instead of taking a few blows to the head and then deciding to run. The bear really didn't have a kid in the fight. Brave cougar, however.

And that cub is so cute.
