There are probably better ways to spend I wasn't going to get this pack, and I wasn't planning on the liars and cheats pack, until today when I read there are new gang hideouts and hunting grounds. Does anyone know if there will be any new wildlife or just new places to kill wildlife. One time I was in the Tall Trees area and I swear about 15-20 bears came at me in the span of 3 minutes and it was freaking awesome. It wasn't the hideout area where you kill that super bear either, just walking around in the forest. I'm so bad I cheese that hideout area like crazy, standing on a wall and just picking off bears. I'm shameful.

I don't really get all this cougar talk. I think I maybe got jumped by a cougar 4 times playing to 100% in single player. Maybe it's because I'm normally on the move but even when I was looking around for flowers and crap I wouldn't see them very often. If I want to shoot a cougar I have to go to Tanner's Reach and shoot a dozen of them.

More single player stuff is nice but mainly I just want to go a-zombie huntin' with my posse. Also wouldn't zombie cougars be pretty lethargic and easy to kill? Do animal zombies still want human brains, or just brains from their species, or any brains at all?

Mad Doctor Cthulhu posted:If memory serves, the DLC coming out soon has seven new hideouts to play with. I'm guessing a lot of the stuff that's designed but not used will probably come into play there. How does this DLC work anyway? I know people who bought the tomahawk can chop me up with it, so that content exists in freeroam even though I never downloaded it myself. If I buy this pack which I have no interest in aside from those new hideouts, and i'm riding around freeroam with a few friends in my posse and stumble on to one of the hideouts, does everyone then get to play with me, or will there be a bunch of dudes shooting at me that no one else sees? I mean, they're not gonna start separating the people who have dlc from the people who don't have it are they? That would suck horribly.

I was just doing some single player cougar-hunting tonight, feeling pretty good about all the cougars I was murdering. Then just when I figured I had killed them all, and my dead horse would almost be ready to spawn again if i whistled... a cougar came rushing up and pushed me off a cliff. Seriously, it didn't get me bad enough to kill, but my injured body slid about 2/3 of the way down this cliff until eventually i just hit a rock that did me in. I reloaded a save and went back to murder them all again but only 2 showed up. I felt really unsatisfied. Edit: Also jsut watched the trailer for the new DLC. I didn't think 7 hideouts and 4 hunting grounds would be worth $10 because I don't care about online poker and the new team game mode, but that shot near the end of someone blowing up a cougar with the explosive rifle? Yeah I'll get  out of this.

I really want to putz around in single player... just with more other human beings. Thanks for posting that video spaniard, I hadn't seen that.

Edit:vv Not necessarily, I'll bet it just takes forever to reload or something. It'll probably be like a one-shot kill sniper rifle but with closer range. I wonder if they're going to bother integrating it into the single player in such a way you'd need to earn it, or just let anyone willing to fork over $10 have it regardless of where they are in the story. People who pay $10 probably want to use what they bought right away and Rockstar wouldn't want people having hissy fits over it. And if it is overpowered then it'd just be like paying for a gameshark back in the day. davebo fucked around with this message at 07:59 on Sep 20, 2010 |

So I hear PSN is going to be on an off tomorrow for maintenance and they're doing the store update tonight instead, so I assume the Liars DLC will be in there? They announced all the trophies and I can't imagine I'll get a single one since I have no intention of playing poker, liar's dice or stronghold, unless enough psn goons are around for a decent match. Spaniard and I tried to do a gang match for the first time ever, and after sitting in the lobby for a while it eventually just made us fight each other. It was quite sad. Just gimme that explodey rifle and enough cougars in one place at the same time to see how much blast damage it incurs.

Cbouncerrun posted:I don't know about anyone else, but unless I was hunting for coyotes/wolves, I found bait to be pretty useless. Maybe I just didn't wait long enough? For me it always seemed to bring out a ton of whatever types of creatures were already clearly visible in that area. If I was looking for skunks in a place I had seen skunks before, but all that were around were a deer and a badger, and I put down bait, stepped away and waited, then I'd be blessed with about 7 deer and 5 badgers. Huzzah! Problem is, if you want a bunch of cougars, and you manage to find one, then you sure as hell can't get off your horse and lay some bait until after you already kill the cougar and the revenge cougar (I love that phrase btw) that's waiting for you to kill the first one. At which point there will no longer be any cougars around and your bait will just attract 20 copies of the coyote you ignored.

Edit: ^^ Well you're right in that there's not a huge goon presence and we go around griefing pubbies or anything. But why don't you lasso up 3 more of us and play some co-op missions? It's good fun.Mad Doctor Cthulhu posted:I have no idea, nobody wants to play yet. There are 4 new hunting grounds. I thought it would be the same 4 animals but they ditched bears (boo) in favor of bobcats in Mexico. For anyone looking to go straight for the cougars, they're the ones in the northwest by rathskeller fork. Spaniard and I happened to start in the northeast and since the great plains was boars, I figured the cougars would definitely be the one by rio bravo, but that was wolves. I figured bears would have to be northwest since they certainly wouldn't be in mexico, but alas they snubbed the bears entirely. I can't believe I actually earn xp now for sniping animals. I'd do this for free forever. Double-edit: vv I was only in single player for a minute last night, but it didn't show up under any weapons I had, and I went to the Armadillo gun store and it wasn't in there. It doesn't show up in multiplayer loadout either when you spawn. I had to win one of the new dlc gang matches for it to appear in a box afterwards. In multi it makes sense because the griefing possibilities are endless, but I can't imagine why we shouldn't be able to use it in single player, short of them not wanting to bother testing it. davebo fucked around with this message at 23:57 on Sep 21, 2010 |

Mad Doctor Cthulhu posted:They dropped bears for boars, but the worst part is that the Mexican bobcats are INSANE. They come at you in groups of four to six and they just tear your poo poo up without stop. I died more than when I was cleaning out Scarf's family in Silent Stead. With an explosive rifle. What do you mean they dropped bears for boars? In the multiplayer before this dlc there were 4 hunting locations right? Cougars in tall trees, bears in tall trees, boars in that field by the river and wolves in barranca or something? We had boars before and we got boars again in great plains. Bobcats are the new ones, and I agree they're mean as hell. Once they killed my horse I just jumped up on a rock because I'm a big old sissy sniper.

I played the whole single player game getting max honor, then when I was done I killed a ton of people getting bounties for trophies or something, then saved it. I guess that's why it was $15k. I only have 18k so maybe I'll work my honor back up if it'll save me 10k. But more likely I'll just make a save in Blackwater and rebuy the gun and full ammo each time I want to putz around single player. I want to keep the money around just in case the zombie pack adds something in there I might need it for.

Well this is fun, my friend went to change characters after we both hit level 50, and when he left the character select area, he spawned in freeroam in the same area. It's that area north of Blackwater above the ridge. It has the torches still there but no wagons and tents with people on them or the mounts. We've been exploring the area and even when i fell in the river it spawned me back up here. There are fun glitches like hills with no clipping so you walk through them, holes in the ground where to fall and respawn back on land, and a bunch of rocks that when you walk over them they make a splashing sound like you're walking in water. Edit: just sent some ps3 invites if people wanna check it out

I lingered on 50 for about an hour before I realized you can't actually ride Bonzo around on a free mode server or every rear end in a top hat with a gun will just chase after you trying to murder you and steal it.

I mean what good is getting the Weed Wacker title unless you actually select it and show it to everyone. The problem is you can only ever use one title are a time, but EVERYONE can see that you're not 3rd Legendary level by now and you really should be. With double-xp weekend over you're just going to have to play twice as much to catch up! This game has really opened my eyes to the whole carrot on a stick mmo poopsocking mentality. I understand both the feeling of accomplishment from completing tasks, and also the completely arbitrary uselessness of "have a higher number show before your name, hurr" It was the easiest thing in the world for me to not give a poo poo about, until they went and threw it in the GTA engine.

Sir Spaniard posted:Yeah, I'm hoping that the white area at the top of the in-game map that's empty gets used for something eventually. Seems big for something they're not using. I mentioned this recently but an error caused my friend to spawn in the area across the river north of the great plains, and we explored the area. They've got trees and the whole area is huge and mapped out, but there are tons of glitches and it's not really a playable area as it's full of huge cliffs that are a pain to get around. Glitches like walking over rocks that make water splashing noises, and lord help you if you actually walk off the edge of the map by accident. To use that area they would basically have to update the game world and I don't know if that can be done in a specific location or would require everyone to redownload the entire world which seems unlikely. I think it's a lot more likely the zombie stuff will occur in the areas we know but maybe somewhere we're not really sick of yet. Or maybe just the entire loving world will be chock full of so many zombies that our only option will be to ride trains full of ammo around the level until we've sniped every single one in the head. I hope this is what happens. davebo fucked around with this message at 18:33 on Sep 30, 2010 |

I said come in! posted:I was thinking about this last night actually, and i'm not sure how the controls would really work on a keyboard and mouse. I just don't see the horse controls being very good. The game would certainly look beautiful on really high end PC hardware though. This would be like the definitive PC game to show off your rig. I think the controls would be better than the gta4 port, because unlike previous gta's the cars had analog acceleration, so when you lost that going to pc it really sucks. The acceleration for the horses is just tapping a button so it would be just fine on a keyboard. Just a left and right steer while you can whip the mouse around aiming. I always buy gta games on playstations then have to rebuy them to fully enjoy them whenever they come to PC. I told myself I wouldn't do that with RDR but you know what... I probably would. And yeah they didn't say gta4 was coming to pc so they could sell more console units, then announced the pc version later on, but I feel like the PC version only came like 8 months later, so I'm guessing we would have heard something if they were porting it. Maybe next year they'll come out with some PC edition that includes all the DLC, I dunno.

I normally just sort of hum the beat in my head so I know when to tap it, but is that pretty much what everyone does? There's no actual benefit to tapping it a bunch of times any faster than that specific rhythm, right?

So I head to rio bravo and this cougar runs up, i soften him up with two shots, trying to kill him and hoping to blast the revenge cougar, but then he runs off. So oh poo poo, there's this wounded cougar running around that I can no logner see who REALLY hates me now. I'm real edgy and so the first rustle in the grass i see I target with the dynamite in deadeye. Turns out it's the jackalope who I blast to kingdom come! Then 2 seconds later that cougar comes back and I blast him too! I love when things just come together. edit: then find the revenge cougar laying down licking it's paws, sniped it. Felt secure so i got off the horse to skin the jackalope and cougars, then oh poo poo second revenge cougar! I got him but i'm getting the hell out of here before I end up dead. davebo fucked around with this message at 06:06 on Oct 14, 2010 |

Can anyone explain to me the Press Start screen at the beginning, that then proceeds to the game letting you choose between online and single player? There is no other option but to proceed to the online/single selection, so why do we even need to press start? Just one of those dumb things that I never understood but maybe there's a reason I'm not seeing.

Yeah I am on PS3, but GTA4 went the opposite direction. It forces you to load single player right off the bat, then from there you go through the hoops to get to multiplayer. There must be a reason they didn't go with the logical solution of just choosing between online/single, but I can't imagine what it is.
