Re: Red Dead Redemption

I never got around to finishing RDR, but did pick up the DLC since it was on sale. Should I finish the main game before trying Undead Nightmare, or are they completely separate?

Finish the main game first...

Seconded.

By the way, I came across some interesting players over the weekend in Free Roam. Yesterday, some level 50 teenager was getting ticked off at all of the "noobs" getting on Free Roam this past weekend and shooting at him. He used a lot of colorful metaphors, especially for me, at level 42 right now, after I started shooting at him with apparently a gun that sucked because he wouldn't die. I was cracking up when he called me a noob.

Thanks. I figured it might either have spoilers or come into the timeline after the main story, so I just wanted to make sure.

I've gone "prestige" once, and leveled back up to 50 last weekend. This was before they added the "friendly free roam", so trying to do hideouts and getting picked off by kiddies was a pain in the ***. While taking some of the fun out of multiplayer, friendly free roam made leveling up easier.

You know, I saw that option but had no idea what it was and never tried it. I guess I should just do that sometime. I'd much rather do the hideouts and stuff either alone or just team up with some people that aren't nuts. It was crazy how you'd be trying to finish off a hideout and some guy would come out of nowhere, blast you a bunch of times and finish the hideout off himself. I know it's the "Wild West" to a degree but come on. Last night I ended up getting into a mindless battle in Armadillo that accomplished absolutely no goals for anyone. It was basically a "free for all." It actually was kind of fun but good Lord some people have some anger issues from the stuff they were saying. LOL

I don't know why, but this made me laugh my arse off...maybe because it distills the essence of the entire online experience down to 2 sentences. Mindless battle that accomplishes no goals for anyone. Yup, that's my RDR online experience to date (and frankly, my online shooter experience in general).

Agreed. I think that these open world "Free Roams" need to give you more to do rather than just drive, or ride, around aimlessly. It basically forces you to just walk up and start popping people. If the developers were to give people the ability to run shops/bars/become part of the marshals while roaming I think that might alleviate some of the aimlessness of online free roam.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

You can hunt animals and pick flowers, as well as play poker or liars' dice.

Yes, that is true. There are a lot of challenges to accomplish. The picking flowers thing was rather tedious. Whatever you do, don't try and pick flowers on a hardcore free roam session. You're just asking to get popped by someone riding me. Happened to me a few times. But I eventually got all of those stupid flowers picked!

Re: Red Dead Redemption

Is there a new glitch going out where people can't be killed in an online free roam? I've ran into a few people doing it. You can shoot them all you want and it will show the blood and everything, but there is no hit marker and they will never die no matter what. I know it's not a connection issue or I'm bad because all of the people have sat there saying, "You can't kill me, hahaha.."

Re: Red Dead Redemption

^^^ are you sure you did not log into the friendly free roam?

they added it a couple months ago... no killing other than NPCs in the world (challenges and such)

Now that you mention it, I'm wondering the same thing. That whiny teen I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that got ticked when I was shooting at him was hit by my sniper rifle at least 4 times in the head (blood and everything) but he never went down.
