Red Dead Redemption

well i did just start... i expect you build up a store over time yeah. plus i'm shooting a lot.

by the time i got to mcfarlane's farm i ran out and had to run around & use the torch, but now i've got plenty (goes quick though, i've left people to die on the roadside because i don't want to spare the ammo).

I find it helps if you kill all the humans after you're done helping them, as well. Hot tip: when you win the shooting competitions that spawn randomly, if you shoot the guy after he gives you your winnings you get twice the ammo. (It's a morally ambiguous universe, guys)

I usually just carry the torch as the primary weapon until there are more than 3-4 zombos. Then, its deadeye repeater rifle time. Fuckers stand NO chance.

You do get to collect more ammo the longer you play. Shooting is really moved back to option #2 because of the lack of large amounts of available ammo. The torch executions can be pretty effective if you're quick about them.

I just realized (by consulting a wiki) that the animal species I'm missing in the single player campaign of the main game is a DUCK. What fucking ducks? Where is a duck?

ducks are in the very very very end of the game iirc

i can't believe i keep 'forgetting' to get this zombie mod. hopefully this weekend.

ducks are at the lake

horses of the apocalypse!! fuckin a!!

this doesn't sound very ambiguous, really

ha apocalypse horses. How do i get them back? i'm now left with a fucking undead horse which is shit to drive.

this is pretty good though, the head shot restriction makes this one a lot tougher. dead eye is almost essential now.

you know what makes it a lot less tough is http://i.ytimg.com/vi/F4JJdRIaACw/hqdefault.jpg

so slow to reload though

also wtf

ha, was walking along the raised train track, at the far north, thought i was pretty much safe from any roaming zombies but then a bolter slowly rose upwards throught the track. a bug but it looked quite frightening.

through obv

downloaded this, played it for five minutes, got frustrated because I've been playing Assassin's Creed 2 so I've forgotten all the RDR controls and I kept opening up the weapon wheel instead of swinging the torch

finished this yesterday. i mean, i can still go save and re-save towns, but probably won't. by the end i definitely had more ammo + cool weapons than i knew what to do with.

Sasquatches wtf. Seriously bummed me out.

I do not understand why they put something like that in a game and don't give you a choice about your actions. What does it benefit to lay a bummer like that on you right at the start of the game?

watched darksydephil's playthrough of the Undead game, funny as always but the fucker used Casual aiming which meant every auto aim was an instant head shot. this game is sooo different when you have to manually aim, for the better.

yeah i only realised that right at the end of the game proper. changed it for the zombies, now i'm manual for life (or undeath).

saw that one coming, i mean every other sidequest in RDR is the setup for a sad trombone joke (the dude picking flowers for his dead wife, the flying machine guy, etc.). but yeah, i felt for that sasquatch and gave some serious thought as to whether it would be more humane to kill him or not. :/

I liked how right towards the end you got a few mundane farm related missions again, herding cattle and such.

Yeah, I beat Dutch and that corny song came on and the caption "Ride home to see your family." lit up. I was all, here we go, and then, scaring crows from the silo and shooting wolves.

I welcomed the real end as long as it meant I wouldn't have to follow Rufus around no mo'.

Anyway, last 2010 resolution completed.

I just returned to this. I was an idiot for quitting when I did cause man, I love that cattle-herding shit. I went back and played that part over and over til I got all 15 home. BUT DID I GET SOME KIND OF SPECIAL CUT-SCENE, DID I FUCK. ARRRRRRGH.

I released my anger on some goddamn motherfucking crows. Then I fucked the hell out of my computer wife. I assume.

Kiiiiinda figure things are about to go a little skew-whifff

revisited this also. really enjoying it again, somehow glad that i stopped playing it back when it start to feel tedious. Now its fresh again, and still have new plot parts to see.

I managed to kill the rare 'Jackalope', wondered what the fuck it was at first.

and i fucking hate Horseshoes game

Should go back to the zombie game I guess.

That too

played liar's dice irl the other night, now i want to go back and play it in RDR since i totally did not get it at the time.

is this liars dice?

everyone rolls dice
you guess/bet how many instances of a certain number have appeared, in total around the table
people raise etc on your guess (or make new guesses? dunno)
you lose a dice if you're wrong
lose completely if you lose all the dice
that's it!

allllmost bought a new system so I'd be able to play this just 'cause I'd loved Revolver so much

^^^ actually between Sony being dicks and their PSN problems, 360 reliability, and the Wii having no games that I want to play, my wallet is glad that I sat out this console generation.

yup that's liar's dice. the only part i didn't get was that if someone bets that there are four of something (say twos) on the table, you have to raise and say that there are five twos or six threes (or higher). i don't know, i'm sure i skipped the tutorials and pressed random buttons.

you should totally do it

my wallet is glad that I sat out this console generation.

your wallet may be glad but this console generation is the best one i remember between fallout, bioshock, mass effect...

getting into a 'generation' on the late side is great, cos you have a ton of games to get to at used prices. i think i bought a ps2 right about when the 360 was coming out!

Yeah I nearly re-bought a PS2 instead of buying a PS3. Still kind of wish I had. I think I'd rather play Okami or FFXII than anything I've played on the PS3 (with the exception of Fallout 3).

I, uh, bought a PSP slim two weeks ago. Does that count?

finally got this yesterday. rules.

I'm playing this now. It's fun and all but after playing so much arkham asylum, I'm disappointed this guy can't do batman moves.

This so needs to be on PC, just for mods

and so's I can play it

this isn't on pc? i'm amazed

Finally finished this today. HATED all the stupid ranching stuff at the end, but the last shootout is fun. Playing through undead now. It's hard.

yeah undead is a lot harder, but its incredibly easy if you have full auto aim on. i think you can have it on an auto aim that just targets the body, which is acceptable as only head shots win here.

I just started this, again. It crashed on my old PS3 and that ultimately led to the console dying so I was a bit wary about putting the same disc into the new one. Seems to be ok so far - I pissed around shooting rabbits and coyotes with Bonnie then she dropped me in town with no fucking money to do anything and told me to take the stage home. Turns out you need money for the stage so I got pissed off and stole it then ended up having to shoot and kill four guys who chased after me.

I'm doing it wrong, aren't I?

not really

hahaha

I'd like to play through again being a straight up criminal bad ass.

so i just got to the Jose Gonzalez part. fucking awesome.
