I don't recall ever seeing one. Gaptooth, especially in the west. Found all of mine along the roads. Only time I wish I had a car, so I could be a trailblazer in running them over.

Howard Beale posted:I love the short scene after some missions where Marston stands there and chills for a moment with a cigarette. That's nice atmosphere. Normally I'm against taking control away from the player outside of cutscenes, but this is one exception. I'm always pleased when Marston's smoking for a moment.

The final shot in the single player campaign is such a Hugo Stiglitz moment. Can't get enough of it, despite all the hatred thrown at it.

Stupid_Sexy_Flander posted:during a thunderstorm Rockstar San Diego really nailed the atmosphere all around, but the thunderstorms are one of my favorite parts. Sky slowly darkens, wind picks up both visibly and audibly, then *flash-flash BOOM* followed by the rainfall. The occasional superbright flashes at night are nice as well. Only other environment moment that comes close for me is watching the sunrise from the top of Nekoti Rock. Best view in the game.

Vertigo posted:Great experience overall, loved the game the whole way through. Im at 93% and I can't see myself slogging through the rest just for 100% I didn't either, not right after I finished. All that happens in the last hour or two deflated me to where I liked the game but couldn't imagine completing the rest. But I've come back to the post-endgame save every couple weeks, finishing a few bounties or parts of an outfit until today when I cleared 100%. And I'm one of those guys who still feels empty at the end of GTA IV. There's not much that most need to do in the post-endgame for 100%, and the Red Dead Wiki is a phenomenal resource when coupled with the Social site. I gotta say (BIGASS ENDGAME SPOILERS), Jack grew on me. He's got some great ambient/shootout lines, and he looks badass in the US Marshal outfit. It's easy to get once you have a good horse, good weapons and a good rundown of each hideout. Anyway, there's something about Jack as a Marshal, using the more modern weapons like the High Power Pistol and Pump Action Shotgun that seems right to me. isk fucked around with this message at 23:33 on Jul 19, 2010 |

So I started a new game after this patch and, well, I've never heard the background music play so often, nor did I hear shopkeepers chatter so frequently. I like it better this way, really; I'm just wondering if anyone else has seen the same.

Yep, animals on the ranch tend to be passive. I think I capped 10 cougars in a row after finding their spawn point. They'd just pop up, shuffle in a straight line to the fence while completely ignoring me. Only exception I've seen are wolf packs.

Just had a scary thought, one I'm sure others have had as well. So it looks like we're dealing with Romero zombies here, at least at first. After seeing the undead horse, I started thinking about other zombied animals. Like cougars. I dismissed them as no threat because, hey, you're taking away their main advantage. Then I realized we could see rage zombie cougars. Fffffffffffffffffffff-

Rockstar San Diego did a phenomenal job with the ambience and random events. There's always poo poo to do, the trip's always a little different than last time, and it looks and sounds great the entire time. That and riding a horse has a good feel to it. I went back to Assassin's Creed II the other day and Christ, the horseriding in that game is awful.

I get why AC2's horse controls are basic. They're not important enough to spend a bunch of development time on perfecting, as opposed to RDR where a horse is vital. I'm glad Ubi Montreal focused more on Ezio's movements; they're generally on point. But it's not the horse controls that bother me. It's that the walk is too slow, the trot has little purpose, and the gallop is stiff and jerky. Riding just feels better in RDR. Regardless of the reasons why they are as they are, it's simply hard for me to go back to AC2's riding mechanics.

Or am I just gonna meet people John "knows" that I never met in game, and not ruin anything for myself? You'll ruin a lot by playing UD, and run-ins with survivors won't be nearly as meaningful. I'd play RDR first, all the way through.

jonmitz posted:Is there any wisdom anyone can provide? Beware the revenge cougar and his big brother, the ninja bear. I poo poo you not. Deadeye is an instant reload. It also increases accuracy, very nice for quick headshots with a pistol or repeater (typically less accurate than a rifle outside of Deadeye). Don't be afraid to just ride around and do random stuff in between main story missions. Hunting, bounties, stranger missions. It's usually fun and rewarding. Keep an eye out for roadside ambushes. If a lone woman is standing beside a broken-down carriage, look for the 3-5 bandits hiding nearby. Also, if someone asks you for a ride and just runs up without permission, shoot them in the head before they take your horse. Sometimes folks genuinely ask for help, though.

Sir Spaniard posted:Is there a 'good' one like that for the broken down wagon and lady asking for help? Because I've only ever gotten the bandits hiding behind the wagon. I think I got an escort mission one time. It's been a while, I could be mistaken. Either way I always check behind the carriage and there's usually some violence afterwards. PlasticPaddy posted:How do I do the Landon Ricketts quest in Mexico? And how do I get to that town on the bluff or whatever in the far eastern part of Mexico? Torquemada can be accessed through a path to the northwest (more west than north). You curve around east and south through some ruins as you ascend. In the vanilla campaign, Landon Ricketts should be available as soon as you wrap up the main New Austin missions. Hitch a boat ride with Irish and the LR icon should light up in Chuparosa. In Undead Nightmare, LR should open up again as soon as you get to Mexico. There may not be an icon (only played through it once). He's in Casa Madrugada.

outfit sperg inc Basically I would've been completely content with the collared shirt and tie / vest / neat trousers outfit that was prolific in concept art. Hell, Marston's wearing it on the game cover. I understand why it wasn't in the game (too plain, doesn't stand out against the other characters) and why Marston's standard outfit is as it is (ratty, shows conflict between law and outlaw, the west and civilization, gives you something to progress from) but drat. That's one thing I liked about GTA IV. It's pretty easy to make Niko look decent early on, and it only gets better from there. Outside of the Deadly Assassin outfit (which is largely reuse/recoloring of existing assets) it's a long time before Marston can stop looking like a sweat-stained hooligan (which he largely is, I'm just saying I'd like the option). And even then, the Legend of the West outfit doesn't stand up to the concept art very well. It's why I like postgame. The US Marshals outfit is natty as gently caress. *edit - vvvv - forgot about the Gentleman's suit. It's alright but didn't do it for me.

So I started a new playthrough this week, first time I'd loaded up RDR in months. Now, I've got a 100% playthrough, and in that run it had been a long time since I'd died to a bear or a cougar. Anyway, just after I help Marshall Johnson apprehend Walton and I'm getting all my RDR instincts back, both John and the Kentucky Saddler collapse and start sliding down a hill. I knew the cougar was circling for the finish just as I knew there was nothing I could do to stop it. rear end in a top hat cougars aren't supposed to be in that region, goddamnit.

Darth Brooks posted:Can you tell I played a lot of Call of Duty? I guess. This just seems like smart multitasking to me, so I tried to do it out of habit as much as pubbies would allow. Most are useless and a little confusing, some are bros to the end, but a special few get super territorial about petty poo poo like the tiny cash bonus you get from setting the dynamite. One didn't like that I had set up the explosives before he was able to, expressing his dislike through knife slashes rendered harmless through Friendly Co-Op, so he decided to set up while I was doing so - which, as some of you know, bugs it out so that neither of your bombs will detonate. I waited for him to mount and run off towards the expected gang spawn, and before he could realize something was very wrong, I decided to set up my charge again. He saw what I was doing just after I finished, then attempted to bypass Friendly protection by throwing dynamite in my general direction. Problem was that his aim was poor, his momentum propelled him and his mount into the alcove where his dynamite ended up, and the control of his mount was even worse than his aim. Boom, dead angry pubbie. As I finished up the last of the gang, the angry pubbie voted to not replay the mission, feeling that I had not learned my lesson. Henceforth followed another round of poorly aimed dynamite tosses as I literally rode circles around him, eventually seeing him get stuck behind the same tree that shared his latest dynamite toss. Whoops.

Yeah, tagging a cougar in the leg can help. What I've found is ensuring you're on a flat part of land with no hills to accidentally roll down. From there, dodge the cougar's charge (aim + jump while moving left or right) and chase the gently caress after it. If you can get in a swipe or two with the knife, it may go into retreat mode and you can finish it off. Just be careful of the aforementioned revenge cougar.

Not really. Won't be long before you'll know all the types of random encounters well enough to spot them at a distance and prepare accordingly - which is less complicated than it sounds. Simply have the right weapon ready on the approach, and steer your horse accordingly. In the meantime, Medicine and Deadeye/Tobacco will get you through most of them.
