You think you can take me at Satan's Hollow? Go 'head on!

TJO posted:

I've no idea if it's a semi-scripted thing that when you're on foot in the middle of nowhere a huge horde comes rushing at you, or if I just got unlucky, but after emptying every bullet I had into them more just kept on coming, running over that drat hill screaming at me.

It seems like hordes always seem to happen if you're on foot and happen to run into a few stray undead. And I'm pretty sure more come if you fire your gun or something, because they always seem to show up right after I fire the first shot.

Yeah, I've had a couple of moments like that, where I get really cocky and start popping a bunch of undead bastards in the head, only to be face-to-face with a dozen more, and then a dozen more after that until I notice that I'm burning through ammo and have to hoof it out of there.

This basically sums up my experience with UN so far, I can't remember how long I was in blackwater doing the execution shots to a group of zombies, spinning round and then hitting the next lot. It wasn't until my revolver went click that I started to panic as I didn't have the torch at that moment, not far off from it, but I just got the hell out of there as fast as I could with a group of screaming nightmarish beasts wanting my blood.

I've done so much multiplayer since finishing the single player back when it came out, that I had completely forgotten how annoying it is to have to tap X rapidly to run. In multiplayer there's just walk and hold X (on ps3 anyway) to run, and it seems to make a lot more sense. The suspense of knowing zombies could be anywhere ready to eat you has me running a lot more and I worry for my controller's safety.

Do you get the first Treasure Map automatically through the missions/side quests or is it a random encounter?

Also, whens Dead Eye level 2/3 avalible, need to do the challenge where you set fire to 5 and Dead Eye them. (Just got to Armadillo for the first time and my missions are clearing Graveyards for Seth and the Snake Oil)

*edit* Been so long since I played RDR Single that I forgot its RB to target

So I'm guessing the secret location is the catacombs, right? Also, what a fun ending. Not only was it a happy ending, but it gave a happy ending AFTER the original game, kinda sorta.

Truly the way things ought to be. Just a shame you have to let go of your outfits to do so. I never even got to wear the union suit. Still, there are a few more locations like the interiors of buildings and the part of Tall Trees where the last Sasquatch is. Still, I don't see how hard it would have been just to let everybody keep all the suits and have the zombie Marston suit as an option.

Cruising through Tall Trees, trying to get the holy gently caress out of there since ZOMBIE BEARS are currently killing me a lot, and I see a HUGE winged shape in the sky.

I think maybe it's a condor or something, and hit it. It falls, and lands RIGHT in the center of a horde that has to be at least 15 deep.

FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU..... Hey, whats this mythical creature bullshit? HEY! That's War! :haw:

Somehow I killed Famine. Right after I got the prompt that FAMINE IS ALMOST UNKILLIBLE, he falls down the side of a mountain with me on his back. Turns out Almost means "pretty easily killed".

Little hint for those that are kinda slow, like me. When you start clearing out graveyards, shoot the zombies as soon as you light the coffins on fire. For some stupid reason I was lighting them all on fire, and then trying to kill a huge horde. Lots easier to just do em 2 or 3 at a time.

I don't think I noticed her being downsy or anything, but those first few people you meet sure got on my nerves. I realize that seeing dead people walking around chewing on other people is a bit unsettling, but does everyone really need to lose their poo poo at the first sign of zombies? John's got problems too ya know, but he manages to keep it together and get poo poo done.

Yeah, I had the same experience once I realized that all those things flying around weren't just regular birds. I saw one and drew a bead on it, shot it down and realized I not only killed a bat, but I just killed the biggest loving bat I've ever seen.

It's a good thing they're not aggressive.

Oh, and to the people who've beaten the game, can you still gently caress around afterwards or does it just sort of end? I mean, I guess to have a proper resolution you'd need things to go back to normal, but I'd rather have the ability to do a single-player free roam during a zombie apocalypse in the Old West.

Heh, I like all of the people here begging for treasure map advice. It's a spatial puzzle, it's rewarding when you figure it out yourself.

e: Do Zombie Bears appear at a certain time? I've cruised through Tall Trees several times now and never seen anything at all other than quest related creatures. It's a little weird that it feels safer now than it does in vanilla RDR.

Well I think I just screwed myself out of 100% completion. I was riding Death, and had just found Pestilence up in Tall Trees. I break Pestilence, then saved my game in the one slot I was using. I whistled for Death, but Pestilence has been set as my horse now. The only way to get the deeds for the horses is to complete the 5th horse challenge. Which I can't do without Death. Who won't spawn without his deed. :(

Odd. I had the death deed as soon as he was given to me.

Edit: I whistled for a horse and when it came near, the license plate said "death" and there was dice in the mirror

Really? When I was in Tall Trees hunting Sasquatches it was basically, unmount, run run run, swivel left, swivel right, roll dodge, run run run, shoot shoot shoot, die.

Also, best random encounter so far cannibal on the side of the road in a small camp, offering you a seat, chipper as hell, and and gnawing on an arm. Awesome.

I really haven't had a big problem with Zombears. It seems like their living predecessors, they take two of a rifle or shotgun will put them down. In fact, I could be wrong (I haven't had the 5 seconds of safety to fact check), but I think maybe one good shotgun blast in their exposed skulls downs them. Red Eye, of course.

So, to reiterate, I haven't had any problem with zombears...alone.

It's the ammo-draining inclusion of all types of zombies, and ZOMBIE COUGARS, that make Tall Trees no more of a bear-skinning stroll.

I’m not supposed to drink but, I do.
Been waiting for this since it was announced and loving it. Played through about an hour or more of single player and cleared up to the MacFarlane ranch.

Upon entering the ranch to a decent size but scattered horde I spotted the old skinny ranch dog and went a bit closer to him to investigate. He wasn't aggressive but he did appear to be Zombified so I decided to put him down just for good measure. I ended up unloading about 4-5 shotgun rounds into him as he was calmly walking away from me and he didn't go down! A decent size horde 10-15 was approaching me so I left him alone and focused fire on the group instead.

I'll need to head back there to try and put him down again but drat that was shocking to see him take so many direct hits from about 10 feet away lol

ZomBears are seriously frightening when they catch you off guard. Sound track is awesome too.

Does anyone know if the Multiplayer 'Freeroam' Zombie characters are seen by other people without the UN DLC? I was chatting with a random on PSN last night who said they can't see your Zombie character skin if they don't have the pack.

PSN: Trexid if anyone wants to do some Overrun.

I think it does although its tough to confirm because I hadn't touched RDR in months until this DLC. When doing the Sasquatch hunting mission, I felt that I had gone way farther north than I had previously been able to go.

Yeah, I don't ever remember going that far north, either, but I think part of the reason is that you never need to go that far during the regular game. The final part is near the mouth of that river that goes from the top of Tall Trees and empties into the gulf near Blackwater. It's off of any path and it's a bitch to get to and get back from, so most people probably just never ventured into that area.

Yeah. As I was playing last night I was comparing this in my head to a Fallout 3 DLC of the same price. Fallout 3 only added a quest or two at the most with a few new armors and weapons. This adds all of that, does a total conversion of the game world, adds different random encounters, new horses, creatures and game mechanics for the same price. I really, really hope this becomes the new standard for DLC.

Is it just me, or does bad/weird poo poo happen when you kill them? I headshotted one (which is the only way to kill them, it seems), then it was flung straight into the air, and a huge clutch of zombies just appeared in front of me. Or I killed another one and a bunch of zombie wolves spawned along with a shitload of bats.
