I like playing "How close to your room can you get before falling and passing out". I think my record is getting on the floor that the room is on.

Two things I'm disappointed weren't in the game were train robberies and the ability to pull your weapon when you were drunk. Getting wasted and stumbling out of the bar firing at dogs would be great, and even better if you could get drunk, stumble into someone at a bar and have them challenge you to a drunk quickdraw.

Finally got Undead Redemption and I must say after finished Red Dead a while ago it is so loving cool to come back as John again. The zombies are drat fast too! Really enjoying it! I'm 48% through with 5 hours play. Hoping It does have another 5 hours of play.

I really loved the gang matches and multiplayer in RDR, I thought it had one of the best 3rd person cover shooter mechanics around. I enjoyed it more than Gears tbh. I know ive played a bunch with some of hte goons here, my tag is pbucch. Anyone want to get something going for Wednesday night? maybe a 5v5 or something?

So I'm 70 odd % through Undead Nightmare. I've yet to catch the unicorn and finish the final challenge of 5 kills in 8 seconds with the sniper. Then I think save the rest of the missing people. I can't see that adding up to 100% though...

I had a 2-day gold pass and I tried out RDR multi for the first time, selected "friendly" free roam and people just shot my poor burro from the get go  Is that what people just do on the multiplayer? My poor burro never hurt anyone or anything, except maybe my pride.

Have you done a playthrough of the main game on Hardcore with the HUD / map turned completely off? Then you're not done yet pardner.

Man do i feel like an idiot, I've been playing the RDR and undead nightmare campaigns alternately for the first time. I just started talking to Landon Rickets in the vanilla version and upgraded my dead eye. I just realized i played most of the undead nightmare with out painting my targets. I am not sure if it never mentions it to you, or I wasn't paying enough attention to the tutorial. Though, it seems just slowing down time to get head shots actually drains your dead eye much slower than painting targets.

I don't think they actually cover painting targets with Dead Eye in Undead Nightmare because I don't think they took into consideration that people might be playing it before they got to that point in the vanilla game. Also, for shits and grins I climbed on top of the train engine last night and just rode it around (kind of like a screen saver while I was doing some work). Goddamn the game is beautiful, and once again I was struck by the little details they add, like the train pausing at a switch before going in one direction or another as if it were waiting on the tracks to actually move. Game of the decade.

My favorite little detail is that a "Woo woo~  "-ing harmonica kicks in when there's a train running nearby.

So, I'm replaying on the 360. I have RDR installed and have never had issues with glitches until now. Basically, NPCs are getting stuck in animations. For example, on the first marshal mission, the marshal was just frozen in a shooting position not moving. The carriage I was riding in got stuck on an NPC who was frozen in mid-walk. It's really weird. Anyone have any idea how I might be able to fix this?

Just in case it wasn't known already, RDR is apparently on sale on Xbox Live Games On Demand for $15 in the US. Not too bad of a deal at all from what I can see.

For the sniper kills, the easiest is to go to Jorge's Gap in New Austin but be up top of the gorge and not at ground level. There are shitloads of zombies to plink off. Hell, even missing the one you are aiming for will likely hit another one. The bad side is zombie cougars tend to hang out up there. I think what I did was sit right at the entrance of the Gap zoom in deep into the gap with the snipe rifle and start popping heads working far back to front. Once the zombies start getting their gallop on chasing toward you they bunch up real good for multikills.

OldMemes posted:I thinkning about getting a month's worth of Live, in order to get the online achievements. Any tips or advice for the online mode? There are a bunch of them that fall under the category of "never going to happen" unless you can get a whole group of people to help you. Then there are some that are easy to farm with a co-op buddy in a private game. The online freeroam, for a while at least, was something I found more fun than the main game. Just riding around with a friend doing challenges, hunting animals, and getting into gunfights. We wrote our own narratives through gameplay, and it pissed over any of the stuff Marston got into in the main story. We were gunslingers, and this was our playground, and it was awesome. Yeah, I think I need to play some more multiplayer soon.

Yup, freeroam was good for that. When we were ready to take a break from shooting guys, we'd ride up to either(late game stuff)the cave where you rescue Jack from the bear, or Dutch's cozy little hideout and "hide out" there to shoot the poo poo. Playing cowboys is still fun after all these years.

I'm not sure if it's because my rose-tinted glasses are dusty or what, but thinking back to all of the games I've ever played (mid-80's to current) none of them makes as strong of a case as my favorite than RDR. It's just slathered with atmosphere and looks and feels like a plausible real-world environment; no where does it look like the devs just mailed it in by clone-stamping the same terrain and foliage all over. They also really nailed the lighting -- flat and yellowish in the morning, bright and bloomy in the afternoon and glowy orangish in the evening. It's almost palpable. I've beaten it several times over, but now the itch is back again so I picked up the Game of the Year edition so I can play some Hardcore.

I popped this back in the a couple days ago because I've been rewatching Justified and I got the itch to be a badass gunslinger. I decided to check out the Undead dlc because when it first came out, I thought it was just a couple quests or something trying to cash in on the zombie craze, I didn't realize it was a whole new game. So I started playing that an hour or so ago. I'm about 15 minutes in Doing the Sasquatch quest, I killed my first one and then when I got close to the body I got a message saying a Mythological creature had appeared. I thought it was probably just something stupid since I know there's jackalopes and horned goats and stuff but then I saw a horse run by. I chased after it and finally caught it, tames it, and that's how I got Pestilence at the very beginning of the game. I'm not going to use another horse until I get Famine or War, the infinite stamina is just too useful.

Robnoxious posted:The unicorn spawn is hinky and waity but eventually it does happen. I want to say it tends to happen more at night but it's been awhile since I went looking for it. I got the sniper kills there but in a VERY easy way. Coated the bullets with phosphorus and made about 5/6 shots and got the challenge. Anyone feel that the Django Unchained trailer is heavily influenced by RDR? The first trailer I thought yes but my girlfriend said it's a western they all pretty much look like that. Fair call, then I saw the second trailer where the character intros turned cartoon and red like the loading screen for RDR.
