The upcoming "Hunting and Trading Outfits Pack", which were the contenders for the pre-order costume, is set for a release in October 12th for free will also include a new animal species, a Jackalope.

Awesome!

Just won 4 free for all matches in a row in multiplayer.

I also just realized i have 58 achievements in the game.

I'm about to jump back into this game. Finally got the PS3 back, so I'm about to be back on the hunt. The DLC packs look interesting. Not sure if you get to use the skins in free-roam, but even if not it could be fun.

I got this game for my birthday last week, and have been playing it ever since. I get the sense I've barely scratched the surface of the story, but already I'm immersed in this world. It's so addictive. What a great game.

I wouldn't go that far, but it's certainly one of the best. The story itself is simplistic and common among westerns, but the way it's told is so compelling.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

It's the storytelling, it's just fantastic storytelling. The story just unfolds before you as you journey through it, so nothing's felt force fed. No rushed exposition, either.

I even think the non-main story philosophical conversations with NPC's on the trip to a destination were nicely done.

 

[Rezzo]

Any release date for the Undead Nightmare yet?

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

I don't know...but I'm expecting it to hit, at the latest, by Halloween.

I understand how multiplayer is but this is a little too much for me.

As mentioned in our previous Asked & Answered, the next title update will feature a new "Friendly" version of Multiplayer Free Roam where player-vs-player killing is disabled.

Here's a quick shot of how you'll be able to jump into any version of Free Roam you want (Normal, Hardcore and Friendly), from the Multiplayer Menu:

The entire cast was fantastically well drawn, all very interesting and entertaining, even if nearly all of them were complete scumbags. You get wrapped up in the story, it's pretty brilliant.

 

[Erzengel]

Rockstar tells a pretty good story. I got hooked with GTA IV after I quickly gave up on Vice City and San Andreas after I beat GTA III.

The story just drags you in.

Course I'm always partial to Bioware's stories.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Agreed. I think Bioware might be one step ahead of Rockstar as storytellers, but even then it's a different style and not about being better.

One thing does stand out with Rockstar, even compared to Bioware, in storytelling. Rockstar, as a whole, somehow manages to more often than not pull the charm and the humanity out of the most ruthless, violent, scumbags that are always in they're stories. Characters that if done by any other company would be unlikable, and just outright hated through and through, but they manage to hit the right notes and give them they're due.

Just read this up on Kotaku. No release date announced, yet...but again, I would imagine it'd be ready by Halloween. It's too good a window to miss.

And I just got wise to the info that the DLC will also add-on to the single player w/ Marston. I thought it was going to be a Multiplayer-only DLC.

Rockstar needs to take a crack at Kratos then. Never have i hated a lead character so much as i did with him. As a player, iv never wanted to see the main character fail as much as i did with him.

But yea i agree with you. Rockstar has a way of taking these what would be horrible characters and making them likable some how. I think of Brucie from GTA IV. Never would of thought that i would of liked that character.

thats bc Rockstar games dont take themselves seriously for the most part. The GTA games are filled with humor and the protagonists, even though they are doing horrible things, are put in comedic situations. That stuff would not work with Kratos or GoW at all.

Nothing would work for Kratos. He's just a horrible character.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

I got to play the undead nightmare at the NYCC. HOLY S***, it was amazing!

He is but that defins the character. Trust me, in GoW3, I was rooting against him as I played him and hope the next game after GoS has a new protagonist. I think it might be his briother and lets just hope he isnt as much of a *****ebag
