There's one that lets you hardlock some one's PS3. No idea how to do it, but a guy on my friends list does it all the time, he wont tell me how though. I think it involves Dead Eye though.

There seems to be some sort of rapid fire glitch. I killed like 16 people in a row with deadeye and had one of the best Grab The Bag matches of my life so naturally the whole server claimed I was using it. I had never seen it, but then later that night on a Capture The Bag on Hennigan's Stead I saw a guy that was using it, at least I think so. It sort of looks like deadeye, they shoot really fast, but you can tell it's not dead eye because there is a slight pause between shots. They had the poo poo repeater carbine but were popping it off like it was a double action revolver. God I hate people that ruin poo poo... edit: sometimes you play a game so much and it's so familiar you become jaded...then you join a game and spawn here:

I just borrowed RDR from my brother since I've been meaning to play it for a while and I love revisionist and spaghetti Westerns so this game rocks. My favorite aspect is just riding through the desert with the Morricone-esque soundtrack playing - reminds me of the opening credits of High Plains Drifter. I just finished the Fort Mercer mission so I've gotta go to Mexico whenever I feel like doing that. Just caught one of the Bollard Twins bounties alive and took him back to MacFarlane's ranch. Talk about an epic movie-like scenario - I almost bought the farm after I got cornered against some cliffs by the guys who pursue you after you capture or kill a bounty. Killed all of them except for one guy who got knocked off his horse, so I lassoed him and dragged him behind my horse for a while until he died, then I got chased by about 3-4 more groups of guys since I ended up taking the long way back around the cliffs to the ranch from Brittlebrush Trawl. Killed them or shot their horses from under them and made it back to the ranch safely. Probably old news by now but I found it helps slow down the auto-respawn of bounty pursuers if you just shoot the horses and leave the riders alive. Helped a bit with this one - I was damned if I was gonna die after all that effort. Plus I can't get enough of using the sawed-off double-barrel shotgun to double-tap people while using Deadeye. Guaranteed to put 'em down if you're close enough. Encryptic fucked around with this message at 18:38 on Jul 8, 2011 |

Be sure to time it so you start the Mexico mission at dusk, don't get off your horse (or do anything else) once you're on the other side and the music starts, and take the slow trail along the river. I didn't know you could slow spawning of pursuers like that. Usually try to keep the horses alive. Always feel silly when I just missed a cougar and gave my own horse 2 barrels instead. Cougar breakfast.

The only problem I have with the RDR gameworld is that there's roads loving everywhere. There's barely any actual wilderness except for in, like, Tall Trees. I think it probably would've been cooler just with roads between the towns but Rockstar tried pretty hard to make the game accessible (fast travelling from camp - really?) so whatever.

Do you just not get to go there until you finish Mexico or is there something else I should have done that would unlock it?

It's the whole GTA thing of stopping you going to areas until you unlock them with conveniently disabled bridges. You're right, you get to go there after Mexico.

Do you just not get to go there until you finish Mexico or is there something else I should have done that would unlock it? You can kinda glitch it. This was a glitch that was in the unpatched game, patched out, then brought back in for some reason. If you go directly north from the MacFarlane ranch, then over some train tracks, you'll come to a waterfall. Should be on your right. Go behind the trees and along the cliffs and you'll get the prompt you're in Tall Trees at the top of your screen. Now, go back to the ranch and get a bounty. Go to the spot where you got the Tall Trees prompt and let yourself get arrested. You'll be taken to the jail in Blackwater, free to get yourself the American Standardbred, tomahawks, everything up north. Well, assuming you have the lasso you can get the horse  To get back down south you can haul rear end across down the trail into Thieves Landing and if you hold to the left side of the bridge and jump, you can clear the gap but just barely.No way to get in to Mexico early, though.

Thanks for the replies, folks. I'm not that dead set on getting over the river to Tall Trees just yet - I got plenty of random stuff to do now that I'm in Mexico. I got there yesterday and promptly drygulched a couple of locals for no reason, killed some local wildlife and met the glider guy already. I'll be sorely disappointed if I don't manage to piss off half the country and drive every species to near-extinction by the time I finish that portion of the game.

I haven't really followed this thread, and so I apologise if this has been hashed over many times already. At 221 pages it's too late to do anything other than join in at the end. So anyway, I need some advice as concerns online/multiplayer. I finished the main story several months back, and while I'm extremely underwhelmed by the game I do love the setting and want to immerse myself in it some more. I just picked up the Undead Nightmare pack from XBLA as it went on sale again. But the multiplayer. I tried it once, and I found it just wretchedly horrible. Now either I was doing it wrong, or it really does just suck hairy balls. Obviously it benefits me more if you can just tell me that I wasn't getting into it the right way. I remember spawning (eventually) into a place where I just got shot repeatedly by pubbies who had no interest in anything other than running and gunning, which the game engine isn't designed for. Then I tried some shootout thing and they all seemed to have awesome weapons while I had only a shotgun I stumbled across. Despite spending a frustrating hour at it, I'm willing to go back in with an open mind and try and find the good times. If there are good times to be had. What would you guys recommend I do to start? Is there a right way to do RDR multi? Thanks in advance.

Sounds like a good way to induce tears. It really doesn't help that when starting up multiplayer for the first time there were what seemed like a million different options to choose from, none of which were explained. I honestly didn't know what the difference between hardcore and the others was. Seriously, should I be choosing a free roam, jumping straight into a gunfight? Maybe I'm being thick about it but it really doesn't seem intuitive at all.

Hardcore gets rid of auto aim and you dont show up on the map unless you are doing certain things. Normal has auto aim and you show up on the map at all times. Friendly has no PvP, but that doesn't mean you can't grief people by trampling them over and over again!

I just beat it for the first time. Unfortunately my experience suffered from people being hinty jerks where they're like "Ohhh you're not gonna BELIEVE the ending!!" or "You're gonna be pissed!" so I pretty much figured John was gonna die. drat though John. You had 20 sticks of dynamite man! Throw the dynamite through the hole in the door! It's lame man! Games make you an unstoppable killing machine capable of killing not only everyone in the United States army but also the United States and then they shove you into a cutscene where you get capped like an idiot. I was hoping the moral dilemma at the end would be something along the lines of GTA4. Specifically, "Save Niles West Dickens" or "Save Everyone Else." Anyone who wouldn't go with the former is an idiot. This game's been out for forever but aight. That DICK! fucked around with this message at 23:08 on Jul 20, 2011 |

I'm really enjoying Undead Nightmare so far. Healthy sense of self-parody, and it's like the entire thing is one long apology written specifically to address the annoyances I had with the main story. It's taking all the irritating minor characters that I found loathsome and is feeding them to zombies. Totally worth every penny. Good times.

So I'm thinking I'll do another game with the minimap disabled, apparently that's pretty cool. Anything else that can make the game better a second time around? I turned off auto-aim early on in my first game, that poo poo is for pussies.

No ressurecting horses! It's pretty cool to get into a gun fight, fall off a cliff with your horse then stumble through the vegatation looking for a wild horse to break or a passerby to horse-jack. Honestly I think the whole unlimited horses thing was a pretty stupid decision.

So I just picked up the game last week and beat it today. God drat was that game amazing. Its been a while since I enjoyed a story that much. I just wish I had known John was going to die. I would have much rather roamed around getting all the legend of the west poo poo as john rather than jack. But drat that was one hell of a game. I figured during one of the hunting missions that John would come back and the ranch would be on fire or some poo poo, I had no idea it would unfold the way it did. Oh and I think I enjoyed Deadman's Gun, the song that plays during the credits, more than Far Away. I literally just stared at my TV for a good 5 minutes after I beat that sucker. So epic.

So I have the main game, and bought the Undead Nightmare package of DLC. My mate, who sold his main game disc, just got Undead Nightmare disc version. Does that include all the multiplayer? We'd like to have a bit of a pootle around online together, I'm just wondering if we'll be limited too much.

I just have two quick questions because I just started undead nightmare and it's hard to avoid spoilers: is there any time sensitive reason to clear out a town, like if Blackwater is under attack and I don't give a poo poo because there's nothing important there right now? and #2, is there any actual reason to give the survivors my ammo?

You can leave the whole world to rot if you want, but it'll be harder to clear them out, and clearing towns out is how you get new weapons. Giving the survivors ammo will instantly fill up one bubble on the meter; shooting zombies will do the same thing, but it'll take longer and use up more ammo, basically.

A couple of days ago I was hit by a huge urge to replay RDR again. Pity I'll be away from my 360 for the next few weeks.  How is the multiplayer faring? I was playing GTA's with some friends before I left, it seems to be still good. Is RDR the same or is it a ghost town?
