So, what's the best multiplayer experience with this game? I've been just doing Quick Matches but I tend to join games with few people and a huge gap in skill (read: I get my rear end handed to me). Is there something in particular that's more fun than the rest?

All of them are fun in different ways, but I usually jump around games or retry until I get a somewhat full game.

Gang matches are my favorite, and it cycles three different game types: Team Deathmatch (most kills = money wins), Grab The Bag (bags of gold spawn randomly, you have to grab them and return them to your team's chest), and Hold Your Own (your basic capture the flag gameplay).

There is a new one called Stronghold that came with one of the DLCs that is basically offense vs. defense with capture points, and it's very fun when you get balanced teams.

Undead Overrun is your basic zombie horde mode, survive waves of zombies while the clock counts down and you get more time with each successful wave survived.

Grand Prix is the horse races. Racing horses, after 5-10 seconds weapons become live and that's when the fun starts. Limited ammo and crap guns, so it's not just slaughtering eachother the whole time.

I love them all.

Because it was a cop-out direct appeal to the little halo call of duty kiddies, whether they realized it or not. You take all three outfits together and let the community vote on them, the DEADLY ASSASSIN GUNSLINGER WITH AN EYEPATCH is going to win the votes by a landslide just by nature of all the MW babies (formerly known as Counter Strike Kiddies back in yesteryear). And all for what? Ooh, Dead Eye Regen, you know, because you can't max Dead Eye in like, less than a handful of manual trigger-pull kills anyways. Whereas all the smart players realized the obvious benefits of economy-based rewards (2x skinning rewards / improved arms dealing) - Deadly Assassin should have been an available challenge outfit from the start as it aesthetically fits in well with the other standard "western" outfits and objectively isn't as unique/beneficial as the Master Hunter and Savvy Merchant. Then let the Hunters and Traders DLC have introduced three full and unique outfits instead of just two. Besides, now the DA outfit is still unavailable to some people just like the War Horse is still unavailable to everyone (don't get me started on this lame preorder monopoly phenomenon).

I'm happy we have the Hunting and Trading DLC now though, for free to boot. I just think the DA outfit was an initial creative cop-out in comparison to the novelty of the other two bonus outfits :words:

The most interesting part of how much trouble people have with the chupacabra is that there's a stat listing how many times you've killed it. Half of these people can't seem to get it to spawn their FIRST time!

Now that you've explained it, I completely agree. I was looking at what you said in a completely different context.

I voted for the Merchant, fyi. As I said earlier in this thread, it was the most unique and would lend it self better to carving out it's own western niche.

I just wear the Hunting outfit all the time. Despite it making me look like a SPHINX member, the doubling of animal skins is worth its weight in gold. You can go to Tall Trees for a fifteen minutes and make two grand easily. Still, I wouldn't mind if the Solomon's Folly hideout, the Deadly Assassin outfit, and the War Horse made their ways to the 360 version of the game. It's not like we're going to get anything else for the game anyway until the inevitable sequel comes out.

Don't worry, it does. As soon as I finished the hunter quests, I went to that magical area in torquemada and BLAM, two mythical creatures.

Also, dynamite can be (uncommonly) found on ammo-zombies, but I'm sure you get it for saving a town. I think a west elizabeth town. But otherwise, go to cemeteries or just random spawn areas (the one at tumbleweed is always a fun spot to drain your ammo at).

I'm fairly certain if you check the quest notes (or whatever it's called in RDR) in the start menu it will tell you almost exactly where you need to go to fulfill the requirements. Undead Nightmare is pretty good at telling you what you need to do in order to finish a mission.

Has anyone run into having unlimited "Undead Ribs"? I have them maxed and for some reason, they will not run out. With them as the only undead parts in my inventory (save for 1 or 2 animal parts), I was able to make about 47 blunderbuss ammo and I am still at max. I haven't unlocked any special outfits, nor the holy relic, but I am a Legendary Treasure Hunter and Sharpshooter, neither of which has a reward which supplies you with infinite ribs (increased ammo/item capacity and two rare weapons). Even though I'm able to hold more items, I certainly did not pick up more than 470 ribs. :psyduck:

Edit: Turns out...I have unlimited everything. I made undead bait without losing flowers, and made boom bait without losing either undead bait or dynamite. When I saved my game it didn't have any special *'s or anything so I'm sure I didn't cheat, and I'm more than sure my endgame save doesn't have this special little feature... and it turns out so does my endgame save. Huh...when do you end up unlocking this, then? Wish I would've known about it sooner. I'm going to chuck a bajillion boom bait in Jorge's Gap.

Fake edit: In the same breath, I just found Death outside of Ridgewood Farm without having to beat the game :woop:

You get unlimited poo poo when you win the game or get 100%, I can't remember which. I think it refills after you retake a town or fight off some zombies.

And how do you 'make' Blunderbuss ammo? I've never known how to do that.

I've done both on my endgame save. The odd thing is that this is a completely new save. Same gamertag. Even then, when I started out, I was able to run out of items by building things.

And you "build" things under the "Kit" section of your inventory, where there's things like "Build Blunderbuss Ammo" and "Build Boom Bait"

Came back to multiplayer after a looong time gone, decided to try friendly free roams so that I wasn't always getting sniped by someone over the horizon while trying to pick herbs or something. While trying to get out of Armadillo, though, I was repeatedly run over, had my horse shot out from under me if I called it, and had one guy light some dynamite and play suicide bomber. Why do people do this?

Awesome. Finally got everything and became the Legend of the Apocalypse without having to beat the game. I'm rather happy! The chupacabra showed up in the exact same place I found it last time: North West of Torquemada. After I slayed him, I went to bed at Casa Madrugada, and went back, and got the unicorn. BAM, both costumes unlocked. They both have puke on them. Plus, I chuckled when I unlocked the Holy Relic. Some good that'll do my endless kit :v:

Now for my final challenge, and I ask everyone who's gotten this far to participate: Finding a Semi-Auto Shotgun outside of the final mission.

An apocalypse most certainly did not stop me. :clint:

I'm sorry I post a lot but I'm all types of pissed now. After trawling around Mexico for god knows how long--and there aren't even that many zombies to kill--I ran into a random encounter where these two zombies were munching on some corpses. After killing them, I noticed a long barreled weapon at their side. Zooming in with my sniper rifle, I realized it was a shotgun, that looked exactly like this. I picked it up and it tells me Shotgun Ammo x2. I look through my weapons, and no semi-auto shotgun. Are you loving making GBS threads me :rant:

Edit: Also, my entire metagame is to find a semi-auto before beating the game. I know it's no big deal but it's frustrating as hell as it's my favorite shotgun. :smith:

When Snake aims a gun in Peace Walker, he's holding it in front of his missing eye.

The only explanation for this is that Big Boss is so good at shooting, he doesn't even have to see his gun to do it.

The only explanation is that Big Boss' gun is actually empty, and he's actually got a Skull Gun hidden behind that eyepatch. Either that or he's firing MIND BULLETS because after all, this is MGS. Crazy is expected.

I guess you just got unlucky or something because I got one very shortly after entering Nuevo Paraiso. I don't even remember exactly what it was a reward for, but rewards are pretty much random anyways. I think it was when I did a rescue mission at El Presidente... your results may vary.

Edit: Presidio, right :doh: I don't remember if it was there exactly, I just recall that being one of my first stops in Mexico. I definitely had it before I did Mexico's graveyard.

Do you mean El Presidio? I did all that in my 100% save, where I ironically missed out on the shotgun during my final mission. Since the missing souls in El Presidio were part of the achievement, I did all six. Still didn't get the shotgun. :(

If there are anymore tales or clues of pre-endgame semi-auto goodness, please let me know. I need clues and votes of confidence here.

Had a blast tonight playing with PSN Goon Darth_Brooks on Friendly Free Roam. I call it 'kidnapping' because the target players have very little control over their character during it, but we were spending the entire time trampling people and jihad-dynamiting them over and over. Hilarious.

The funniest thing is kidnapping people that are within Hunting Grounds, because between Darth and I trampling them, and them being charged/attacked by the animals, it became this vicious cycle of tumbling rear end over head and dying over and over :haw:

UN has only been out for less than a month... I'd hold off before we start pronouncing the future DLC scene dead for this game. After all, Ballad of Gay Tony wasn't announced until almost (if not over?) a year after GTA4 came out. I'd bet Rockstar knows that RDR has quite a bit of (un)life (:haw:) left in it.

Originally there were 5 DLC packs planned, the first of course being the co-op add on that came shortly after release. The others were Legends and Killers, Liars and Cheats, Free Roam, and Undead Nightmare. The free roam stuff just ended up being integrated into Liars and Cheats mainly, and the friendly free roam mode came in an update. So yeah, as with GTA4 the plans are in place long before the game comes out, and I'd say they've stuck to and fulfilled their plan pretty well at this point. I'd like to think they're working on the next big thing now, because as much as I enjoy DLC, I'll enjoy a whole new game even more.

Also what is up with PS3 people not getting mics? My best friend still doesn't have a mic and when we play I keep asking what he wants to do next then realizing he can't speak. I end up just saying "Okay if you want to do a gang hideout, spin your horse around, if you wanna go shoot cougars fire once into the air..." Then he normally just shoots my horse.
