[StrainedEyes]

This still is not up on my west coast PSN. Sony's update schedule is bananas.

 

[Poeman]

I dont have it yet either...I have PSN

Im just getting the zombie pack...Seeing how i spent 10 bucks on liars and dice (GREAT DLC)...I dont play multiplayer shooting with this game. I go on free roam alot.

If there is ever a 5 dollar deal later on ill get the legends pack.

Ill just spend the 10 bucks

 

[LegendaryCaleb]

I'm not terribly far into Undead Nightmare, but so far it's everything I anticipated it was going to be and more. Rockstar really outdid themselves with this DLC, it's literally another entire single-player game, much different from the other. It's also much harder, with weapons and ammo scarce and the enemies a lot tougher.

I've been playing it for the past few hours myself. It's awesome. Unfortunately, RDR's controls are a bit loose for a zombie game if you're thinking in terms of Dead Rising or something like that. I've found hopping onto buildings and shooting zombies from afar to be the best way to deal with them. It's way too easy for them to swarm you or for you to miss and barely hit one or two zombies in a crowd with the torch because of the clunky controls for running around and melee.

How do you unlock the 4 horses?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

You have to find them in the wild and break them. There's also apparently a unicorn somewhere.

When exploring the map, a blue marker on the radar will signify if you are close to these or any other mythical creatures.

* Pestilence is located in Tall Trees, between Manzanita Post and Aurora Basin.
* War is located between Benedict Point, Tumbleweed and Gaptooth Breach and it is also located near thieves landing, and Mescalero.

* Famine Is located between Chuparosa, and Tesoro Azul
* Death is obtained after completing the final mission.

Yea i came across Pestilence but thought it was just a skinny horse and let it go about its way.

This is an amazing expansion. Like others have said, its a brand new game.

 

[Benstamania]

I assume it changes the ending of RDR... or... does it start like you said as a new game?

Yea it basically acts as if that last scene in RDR didnt happen.

 

[Benstamania]

Nice. While I liked the last scene in RDR..... I also kind of hated it.

Yea its pretty cool controlling this character again.

 

[Benstamania]

Yeah, I imagine. J.M. is one of my favorite new video game characters, it's a shame we won't be able to continue on as him in RDR III.

Its a side game...Not related to main storyline

Agreed.

It is 'related', the first character you meet in the DLC remembers you and they discuss things from the main story.

It's just a new what-if scenario. What if instead of John being killed, a zombie plague broke out.

 

[Benstamania]

A zombie plague in that time period would truly be horrifying if you think about it.

yea its an awesome concept. really well execute here in the game.

 

[StrainedEyes]

I've done a like 3 story missions, started a few stranger missions, saved a few towns, and found/tamed War. I hope there is a way to get the deeds to the 4 horses, so you can switch between them whenever you want.

Also, my original horse was zombie-cougar'd to death very quickly, and the zombie horse you get in return handles like ass.

Edit: Someone on the gamefaqs forums says that eventually there is a quest to get 'Blood Pacts" aka the deeds for the horses.

Wonder why they haven't thought of this mixing of genre idea for a movie. Anyway I'm diggin the atmosphere this pack brings, from the almost constant darkness, the music, and the clever changes to the old gameplay as well as some new additions. However, some things I wanted to do in the game were not possible, or simply difficult to perform. The torch proves problematic in combat, especially on horseback. Not being able to burn a hogtied victim with the torch was disappointing, as well as the now missing feature of cutting victims free. I wanted to hogtie people and let zombies munch on them as they scream and I laugh, not possible. I wanted to watch people running away from hordes to get mauled when I didn't help, they just get slapped to death or commit suicide, which is cool but where's my mauling and screaming while I laugh? I can provide the laughing easily.

I have to say, John Marston is not making a good impression on me. The character is written so lame (possibly for a more hysterical approach)

"You guys better calm down 'cause I can see that you're obviously very excited...and stop biting chunks outta people. It's not normal."

It made me laugh but when I think of Rockstar and zombies, I think screaming...not laughing. Sigh...at least it's fun.

 

[LegendaryCaleb]

Loving this so far...its much harder and alot more fun than the one before...the concept is so great...wow

What, in Rockstars history, would make you think they would treat something like this with a serious tone? Have they EVER made a game with a serious tone? GTA sure as hell wasnt. This game had a lot of strange characters. What makes you think they would change up their creative style with this DLC? I mean effing Bigfoot is in this, that doesnt scream serious to me.

Exactly. This is very tongue-in-cheek. Even more so than normal for them, and I think it's because they realize how ridiculous it is that they made this.
