It just kept plopping me into random games - bunch of free-for-alls and one gang v gang. I don't know what the controls are for 360, but on PS3 once you get to Free Roam, hit Select and choose whatever game type you want (free for all, stronghold, overrun, etc)

Okay, I just popped this game in for a start and WOW is it normal for you to be ganged up upon by endless hordes or can you clear out some areas of zombies? I'd better get more crowd-clearing options fast because this is otherwise going to take quite some getting used to after Vanilla Red Dead Redemption.

Unless there's like a small group of 3-5 undead, it's more than likely they'll keep popping up on different sides. You have to get out of there.

If it's town defense or a graveyard, the zombies do stop coming eventually. If you're out in the wilderness and see a small pocket of zombies, they'll respawn pretty steadily. Sometimes you'll see two or three, and if one spots you 20 more will seemingly come out of nowhere. Your best bet when outside of a town is to stay on your horse unless you absolutely need to get off to pick plants or open a chest.

It's best to run and plan ahead when you're first starting out. Start clearing out towns and climbing up to give ammo to the survivors: this limits the amount of zombies you have to kill to clear a town. The cleared town gives you a new weapon to use. The thing to keep in mind about weapons is not to worry about their power but to focus on ones that have a bigger clip. A well-placed bullet from any gun will kill a zombie. And if you run out, use the torch. That's what it's there for.

I'm impressed at just how effectively this game takes a familiar landscape and turns it into something much creepier and more oppressive. Suddenly buildings aren't so much interesting places to explore as they are potential close-range counters with the undead. The wilderness was already kind of spooky due to being so desolate, but at the most you were likely to run into that cannibal camp guy as far as creepy things go. Suddenly off-the-beaten-track exploration seems like less of a great idea when it can be avoided. I also really love the idea of using the same characters and settings to tell a completely different story, in a way not dissimilar to how I love the idea behind the GTA Stories games.

The very first time I had to do that, I wasn't watching where I was and the idiot blasted me twice in the back. And then for fun I went and burned myself to death. Should I finish the regular game before I get into this? I haven't even unlocked anything past the first region so I don't want to go spoil the rest of the map yet.

Saint Sputnik posted:ok coop missions kick rear end, but I can only be shot by the same guy in a free-for-all so many times before I see red Yeah, I was starting to warm up to multiplayer after trying it this weekend, so much so that I was this close to taking advantage of the $20 off a year's subscription to XBox Live Gold. $3 a month is reasonable, but then I realized that the only game I own that has decent multiplayer is Red Dead Redemption... I guess it would've been worth it, but whatever. I have to say though, Undead Overrun is a lot of fun, and it's a good way to rack up levels for Free Roam. Thinking about it now I probably should've done that Black Friday deal, that game mode alone is worth $3 a month at least.

I rented this when it first came out, and now I am interested in picking it up again. I am not interested in the single player campaign as I have already gotten through that, but I would be interested in playing multiplayer with my friend who has the original game, and going through Undead Nightmare. Now that the Undead Nightmare standalone disc is $20 at Best Buy, would it be worth it to pick that up? Would I be able to play with my friend who has the original disc? Is the free-roam the same?

Does it have any of the side missions like the mysterious stranger? And what is the single player freeroam? Are you the dead guy or his son during this? Are there zombies wandering around, or would I be able to hunt normal animals without worrying about undead things? I have tried googling this, but I just get info on the DLC and not the standalone.

There aren't any normal animals left, they've all become zombies that take alot of damage to kill if shot anywhere aside from the head. Regarding your spoiler question, The game veers off from the normal ending, the zombie outbreak happens during your time on the farm with your family, and it doesn't give Ross a chance to kill you.

Actually, we never know. It just goes to 'a few months later' and John comes back to life. Ross could have still killed you, but the finale of Undead Nightmare is still in 1911. Presumably it's in that three years before Abigail dies and his son avenges his death. Come to think of it, that's probably what sent the boy off and killed Abigail: John rising from his grave to run amok!

I hate saying this but you're not going to see this except you have a hacked X-Box and are running a pirated copy of an earlier build of the game. There are a few glitches that legitimately exist. One, you can get into a building in Chuparosa. You can above the railroad tunnel north of Armadillo and explore north of the map and there's a way to rocket into the sky by the jail in MacFarlane's ranch. I have seen all of those.

I swear I once saw someone in Free Roam well south of the southern game border near Rancho Polvo once. I wanted to snipe him but I couldn't find him at all. I have no idea how that person got there, and have had no time to try and glitch like you can at the railroad tunnel.

Pretty disappointed to find out I can't hijack the train or blow it up by shooting the boiler. Hope they find a new conductor. Best thing I ever did in GTA:SA was hijack a train and somehow manager to jacknife it while going in reverse. Turned out they hadn't "weighted" the train so I could push it around the street with just my body.

I want to go to R* SD offices. set up a chair and a TV tray in the middle of the place, hold fork and knife in my hands and pound them rhythmically on the tray going "UN-DEAD-FREE-ROAM-UN-DEAD-FREE-ROAM-UN-DEAD-FREE-ROAM-UN-DEAD-FREE-ROAM-UN-DEAD-FREE-ROAM-UN-DEAD-FREE-ROAM-UN-DEAD-FREE-ROAM-UN-DEAD-FREE-ROAM" until I was thrown out.

When John rises from the grave, the game gives a little bit of text which says something like "Finish John's quest so that he can be laid to rest", if you 100% the game does it have any pay-off like that? Probably not since it would end free roam, but it would be cool if it did. Also isn't it a bit strange that RDR has really polished gunplay with enemies taking cover and whatnot, but then pretty much all of the enemies in Undead Nightmare are melee enemies who's primary attack is just bumrushing the player. Which is why to me it seems that UN didn't really play to RDR's strengths in terms of gameplay, since up close combat is kind of awkward while the awesome gunfights from RDR are almost completely marginalized. Also it would have been cool (IMO) if RDR had DLC like GTA, where you play a different character in the same setting during the same overall story arc but from a different perspective. It could have expanded on Dutch's gang and their motivations a bit since I though that was somewhat underdeveloped in RDR. They could've even had Horde Mode with a shitload of Indians instead of zombies. Not that I'm knocking UN or anything since it was pretty good nonetheless.

RDR works because the open world allows a variety of situations that can either turn good or go horribly bad. The zombies just add another layer to that. It's not as deep as the original, but it's fun because you have to deal with people just charging you and keeping you off balance while you slaughter them. On top of that, the side missions are where the game really shines with various bonuses and the like.

The only thing that really frustrates me in the end is the fact that switching to Casual aiming is really a necessity for me. With ammo being relatively scarce and the unpredictability of undead movements, I find getting headshots a real pain in the rear end. Of course, I'm early in, so all I have is a pistol, repeater, and shotgun, and the torch. Overall, I'm loving the game. I just got it last night. I didn't really care for the basic RDR, but UN is fun, funny, and at the same time tense with zombies charging you. I had RDR on PS3, but with the plethora of issues that I have with PSN and it being completely unfriendly for anything multiplayer, I ended up trading it in. I picked up UN for 360 and I'm loving it, aside, of course, from the level 50 fags that just run around doing nothing but killing random people, glitching, and are just plain nuisances that don't really like playing with multiple players.
