So, I'm thinking of renting this game and then later buying it, if I think it's fun or not(most likely) but, what DLC should I buy from the gate? barring Undead Nightmare, because I'd like that after I'm done the game.

I got everything but the Legends & Killers pack, because that's all PvP and I'm just no good at that.

downfall posted:I'm on Xbox, so I'm not sure about PS3. There are quite a few people who are just really good... I forgot about Deadeye, I never use it. Always end up dying while I'm trying to find a little green orb or get killed before I have a chance to use it. And I can never find anyone playing hardcore PvP so I just play a lot of casual like a big dumb babby. Found out the hard way, repeatedly, how easy it is to get killed even while behind cover. I used that to my advantage against some top-of-the-leaderboard prick one time by shooting his one exposed hand till he died, that felt pretty good. Other than that I have a real straightforward approach and try not to intentionally abuse the game mechanics, so gently caress anyone who systematically does. Someone mentioned a "lag switch" during a game once, and whatever that is it seemed to have the side effect of making the match take forever to load.

This is gonna sound weird, but after long sessions in the middle of the main story I often felt a pressing urge to take a shower and get a close shave; just from looking at Marston's matted hair and sweaty/muddy clothes for hours. Also the rooms and beds he sleeps in. Meeting Seth didn't help things either.

So, I bought Undead Nightmare on a whim, having finished AC:Brotherhood and hankering for some more gameplay, and it's reminded me how much I loved John over Jack (Just in case). Please God tell me there's now a way to stay with him forever...

Finally beat the storyline and final stranger mission in the base game. Really wish there was more to do after The Final Enemy that Shall Be Destroyed, but I liked how it ended, regardless. Final mission spoiler: Is Ross standing in the crowd that guns down John, or is he unkillable until you find him as Jack?

Got this for Christmas and just started it and... good god, is Bonnie going to start calling me and asking me to hang out? It feels exactly like GTA4 with horses, and I hated GTA4. I was completely confused and disoriented and bored by the ridiculous cut scenes after an hour and gave up. But now I see that it's gotten nothing but praise and stellar reviews. What the gently caress? Does Roman, I mean Bonnie, ever shut up? Do wild animals ever act like wild animals? Does walking into a bank in broad daylight always result in people shooting at me? Am I doing something wrong?

Its a Rockstar game, and the structure of it is almost exactly like GTA. So yea, if you hated GTA, you may not like it. True its gotten a lot of praise, but so did GTA4 and you say you hated that. So maybe you should stop going by what games get the most praise.

Barnabas posted:But then how will I know what to like? Well to use this situation as an example, you say you hated GTA4. Watching a few videos on Youtube or reading a few reviews would be enough to tell you that this game is enough like GTA4 that it probably isn't for you. Go with your own past experience over what the consensus is. It just seems like it was a high risk purchase for someone with your stated gaming preferences. Maybe it should have been a rental instead.

You should probably just go back to playing Peggle (not that there is anything wrong with this) if you don't get and or like RDR.

There's pretty much no way that whatever the next GTA is won't have the myriad of improvements to the formula that came from Red Dead Redemption, The Ballad of Gay Tony, and The Lost and Damned.

See, that's what I was hoping for: it's similar to GTA, but not exactly the same. So I tried it some more. Still not a huge fan, but I might mess around it with some more. And, as I said, it was a Christmas gift, I didn't run out and drop $60 on a game I knew nothing about. But someone else did, so I feel an obligation to not completely hate it.

I was somewhat disappointed with GTA IV, but I feel I should note that RDR is a much better game. The physics aren't wonky, there's a lot of stuff to do besides the missions, and the unlockables are really fun to do. Multiplayer is a little wacky, but the game mechanics of RDR aren't as awful as the original GTA IV. It's also much more fun given the setting. Not to mention the controller setup is miles above the 360 setup for GTA IV.

Just kidding. It has a similar feel to GTA4, as far as gameplay. But as far as story, environment, and characters, it's quite different (and in my opinion better.) If you don't like it, you shouldn't just trudge through a game you hate... Just trade it in at Gamestop or eBay that poo poo.

Yes, Bonnie shuts the hell up. You have to trudge through about half a dozen missions for her and then you really don't have to deal with her much more. If you don't like Bonnie I don't really blame you, but she is essentially the tutorial level. At least do her missions until you get the lasso. Or if you can't wait that long, play freestyle for a while, get used to the controls and kill random people. Encounter and survive a cougar attack or two (or don't). If you can't stand the freeplay, sell the game because it really only is more of the same from that point, and I doubt that the flower picking simulation portion of the game will really draw you in. You are being shot at when entering a bank most likely because you have a weapon drawn. That or you are going into the "restricted" area (through a gated door perhaps?). Unless you are referring to a strange glitch where a wolf is riding on top of a horse the animals always act like animals, which is to say dicks. Animals fall into two categories: Prey - run away from you. Predator - Try to kill you. This is what animals act like.

I finished the game and got 100% completion simultaneously tonight. Is it normal for Jack's mouth not to move when he speaks? I guess I'll start up Undead Nightmare tomorrow.

SaviourX posted:Yo if I grab the DLC disk, all my challenges and outfits and whatever from my other save data will carry over, right? Actually, it's treated as a new game. There's no need for money, you have a few outfits from the original game anyway, and weapons are found again but they're very little use for most of them since a bullet from a Cattleman and a LeMat kill zombies exactly the same way. The only real difference is how many bullets you can use before you reload.

Good to know, but I thought all the DLCs were included, thus the retail version. But I guess social club saves your mp data and all achievements, etc wouldn't matter anyway.

Neither Fordham nor Ross are in the crowd, it's just a bunch of generic Agents. That's part of the symbolism of it - Ross doesn't even care enough about John to be at his execution personally.

I can only think of two major control changes between this and GTA4. The first is a radial weapon menu, which is awesome. The second is moving Accelerate to A (and deceleration to RB), and moving shooting to the left and right triggers while in vehicles (Shooting in GTA4 from a vehicle used the bumpers). This made sense in RDR mainly due to the fact the horses are designed to hold pace while you're aiming. Liberty City has far more hazards while driving than the Wild West, so I don't think that'll cross over to GTA. Also, you'd have to do some fantastic finger stretching to hold A to keep your car moving and aim with the right thumbstick. Hell, even Saints Row had a cruise control option and all I end up doing with that is running into a wall continually while doing drive-bys. Unrelated: gently caress all walkthroughs, when looking for cougars go the the mountain north of Bonnie's ranch. There's a small valley along the wall leading into a snow covered dead end on one side. That valley is cougartown, and the game will stop spawning cougars anywhere else during that hunter challenge just to spite you. I know from experience, as I trawled stillwater for 5 hours, changed to that valley and finished in 20 minutes. Then cougars showed up in stillwater when I was looking for Gordo.

Also, you'd have to do some fantastic finger stretching to hold A to keep your car moving and aim with the right thumbstick. RDR also improved over GTA4's horrible helicopter controls and bland realistic car physics by not having helicopters or cars. Also by virtue of not having cars, they couldn't structure every mission around chasing an invulnerable car until it stopped being invulnerable and then shooting it until it exploded. RDR also had mid-mission checkpoints, so you didn't have to repeatedly spend minutes traveling from one end of the map to the other, listening to one of two variants of recorded dialog, and then failing the mission upon arrival. Regenerating health made it less likely for you to fail the mission in the first place. (Saints Row 2 solved that problem differently, by letting you carry health items.) While Liberty City is a barren empty wasteland, everywhere you go in RDR there is something to do thanks to ambient world events and the various challenges.

Just loaded the True Grit OST onto my Xbox, have taken to turning off RDR's (fantastic) soundtrack and playing that during my online multiplayer travels. Adds a totally different vibe to the whole thing. This game has such a great sense of presence and tension, even in multi-player.

Finally got my Double Bagger achievement last night.  Also - I think I figured out what was wrong with the Chupacabra spawning. I hadn't done any of the Undead Treasure Hunter stuff (not even the first map), so I went off and did all five levels of that. After that the Chupacabra spawned on my first ride through Mexico, then the Unicorn right after that. So it may not spawn if you haven't done some or all of the Treasure Hunter path. Also the only thing more annoying than Jack's stupid phrases when you're galloping are Zombie Marston's horrible growling noises. Jeet christ.

Forgive my ignorance, but how exactly does voice chat work in RDR? I understand that posse members can hear one another, and that you can hear one another when nearby. Can you hear the conversations of other posses? Is there a way to make chat completely private?
