One of my favorite little things in this game is jumping over the Armadillo railing onto my horse.

One of my favorite little things in this game is to put in the drunk code and fall down stairs/ off buildings/ down cliffs.

I love drunk code and stumbling around the wilderness :haw:

I turn on my drunk and invincibility code immediately after getting a good jump off a cliff. Good times.

This but the second I see a cougar or bear about to murder my horse/ The second I pilot a chariot a little bit too close to a cliffside

drunk code is best code maybe GTA 5/ RDR 2 will take a hint and let me be drunk where I want when I want and how I want

I bought this game on launch.

I'm only now discovering how little the good people of Thieves Landing care if one of their folk get shoved off a dock into the water, or find a pile of 5 corpses piled up next to them.

Melee Throwing Knives are the best thing. :ese:

Go into Armadillo and the bar there and just start shoving people, eventually someone will draw on you and you'll (I believe) be doing self defense. Alternatively, go to Thieves landing with positive honor and you will have a whole town gunning for you.

I push around Walton's Gang members all the time. As soon as he tries to punch me I put some buckshot into his chest and the law gives no fucks.

You'd think they'd stop showing up after they keep getting shot there, but sure enough every time I walk into the Armadillo saloon there's 4 or 5 of them that I dead-eye headshot before grabbing several drinks and stumbling out as the majestic hero that I am.

Finally managed to bring down a bear with the melee knife today! I tried all sorts of tactics; even hijacked a stage coach to use as a safe haven whilst in bear territory. This backfired when I ended up getting trapped inside the passenger cabin by a pack of really angry bears.

However after alot of dying, I discovered that bears can be lassoed!
This confuses/stuns the bear, and allows you to keep it temporarily in check while you close in with the knife. Remember to soften it up a bit with your weaker weapons before doing this. Happy huntin' :clint:

I really wish there were some way I could get ahold of all the cutscenes in this game, dialogue or otherwise. I guess I could replay the game and record the entire thing, but christ. I have this fantasy of taking all of them and editing them together into a full length movie. I think I'd like to do it with all of Rockstar's games, from GTAIV on. They tell such fantastic stories, it's a shame non-gamers have to miss them.

He was in the ONE part of Mexico I hadn't visited. I was crossing Butter Bridge to finally give up and finish the story when..."A Mystical Creature Has Appeared".

Yayyy! :dance:

Death, on the other hand...I found him in north of the Scratching Post, at midnight...during a loving THUNDERSTORM. Even in Dead Eye I couldn't see the drat horse. gently caress you game.

I settled for receiving him post-game. Would have liked to get all the outfits prior to zombie John. .

Don't wanna rain on your parade, but the director of The Proposition already did this with RDR, it was on TV and everything as part of the promo push for the game.

Yeah, I've seen it. It wasn't really indicative of the game's storyline as a whole, or even the progression of the game's plot within the tiny part it covered.

I just started playing this and it's pretty drat good. Without spoiling much, I just want to know if there is stuff I can miss and never get again, or if there is a point of no return or anything like that. That poo poo is stupid.

Good game though :)

The only thing you need to do as soon as possible and immediately upon gaining the opportunity is the "I Know You" stranger sidequest missions. If you don't, there's an event late in the game which prevents you from going back and doing them.

There's a point of no return (as in, a fairly big thing happens and you can't go back), but you can keep playing anyway. There's only one mission that you can't do after this point, so be sure to finish up the stranger mission "I Know You" before beating the game.

When you get late late into the game and the end of a mission has you coming down a mountain, don't go to to the letter destination on your map right away. Go to a property and make a separate save, then go do that mission.

Ugh. I was playing what I think was the last mission last night (And the last enemy shall be destroyed) and managed to clear the ranch and leave the barn. Then my game froze on the loading screen and my disc began making a horrible noise. I took it out as quickly as I could, but I took it out and saw it had a big scratch in the centre. I try playing it this morning and it won't load.

Is there any kind of disc replacement programme? I have a feeling I was pretty near the end.

Man I played so much RDR last year. Is the zombie DLC worth it for somebody who played the game to hell anyway? It sounds pretty awesome but I did get tired of tramping around the deserts. I normally had most of my fun in the towns, it was so visceral when I decided to throw a six-shooter tantrum at the poker table.

I don't have any suggestions, and I'm sure someone here will, I just really feel bad for you, not being able to play once you reach that point of the game.

I have it, and I love it. I'll play both versions of the game fairly regularly. It really feel likes a slightly different game. There's not quite as much running from place to place (I think, that could be in my head). And there are plenty of new elements that keep the game fresh. Towns are a completely different experience. I recommend it.

Ahhh gently caress I'll buy it. :dance: I'm excited. If Red Dead had a PC release it would probably be my favourite game ever. I don't know why but bodies disappearing when I'm ten feet away and look in the other direction is pretty jarring.

e: There seems to be a dlc collection disk out, do the dlc weapons appear in both Red Dead and Undead if I buy this? On the other hand most of it seems to be multiplayer content, but tomahawks sound like just the kind of thing I'll use forever.

Does Undead Nightmare continue with the slapstick 4th wall breaking humor throughout? Kind of a major departure from the original game, but I think it works for what the expansion is. I've only played for about 10-15 minutes so far but its a hilarious change of pace already. Just kind of jarring from what I've come to expect from these characters.

It's not so much slapstick nor fourth-wall breaking but it's a bit silly, and Marston's got this "Not this poo poo again :doh:" expression/tone to him the whole time. But me, someone who loves shooting zombies and getting payed with bullets, played this to death almost as much as he spent killing critters in Tall Trees. Honestly, the best DLC I've ever bought.

Also love his frustration at coming up empty when he searches most zombies.

I hate to post so quickly, but this is a big help for those who don't know: Before you get the Blunderbuss, which makes use of zombie parts, zombie corpses will turn up "empty"/without loot except for ones with gun belts on them. Up until then, only zombies with ammo on them will have "x"s on the minimap, which is a real damned help. Then you get the blunderbuss and they all have "x"s.

Then you get full up on zombie parts and Marston starts cursing again :rant:

I looked at the rockstar page and they can send me a new copy for a fee, as long as I send the receipt. I'm in England though, so not sure if that works out (its a NY address).

It's a shame really as I spent so much time doing all the challenges and stuff and now I can't even use my legend of the west outfit as I killed boss bear towards the end. I've had a real lovely month though and have been playing this in my free time, so I may just call it a day and pretend the game finished when you left the barn as I don't really want to be reminded of recent events. I like the game though.

Huh. I noticed the Xs but didn't pay much attention to them. My big problem with searching bodies is that the button prompt feels "tighter" than in the standard game, meaning you have to be standing at exactly the right three pixels for the prompt to appear. It seems that way anyway.

It takes a little getting used to, but I recall riding up on my horse to a downed body and getting the timing right for dismounting from a gallop, "landing" on a body, looting and remounting pretty precisely.

EDIT: Whoops, didn't see that you were talking about Nightmare there. I didn't notice any such shrunk area, but it's been a while since I played.
