Red Dead Redemption

[Twigg4075]

easy way to do it Twigg is to go to Escalera (bottom left of Mexico) and climb onto the roofs and jump across to a the other building which has unlimited cover and they cant ever shoot you. Only thing there is to have plenty of ammo. And if you don't want it to effect your honor or what not, after you get the achievement just shut the game off without saving.

It's still not easy. I used a YouTube video showing a guy using a tall building in Blackwater. The strategy is decent but it takes for-fucking-ever to rack up a $5000 bounty. Noty to mention trying to get an angle on some of the people you are shooting is a bitch. Maybe a building in Escalera would be better, I don't know. All I know is a few times I got up over $1000 and then something stupid would happen. That's easily 20 minutes to a half hour wasted each time. I don't have the patience for that bullshit.

Glad I gamefly'd this.

There are four new expansions coming from Rockstar Games for the hit Western Red Dead Redemption. One of them will bring zombies.
Rockstar outlined the four new paid expansions to Red Dead Redemption today, promising the next one for August and the following downloadable packs in the coming months. The DLC, which will be offered for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, expands the single player and multiplayer aspects of the game.

1) Legends and Killers Pack (Early August 2010, $10)

-New active map locations, characters and more
- 9 new multiplayer map locations — more than doubling the amount of territories in the multiplayer competitive modes
- 8 new multiplayer characters — play as characters from Red Dead Revolver
- Introducing a new projectile weapon: the Tomahawk, with corresponding challenges for single-player and multiplayer gameplay
- New achievements and trophies

2) Liars and Cheats Pack (TBD release date; $10)

- New competitive modes, multiplayer mini-games in Free Roam, and more
- Attack and Defend multiplayer competitive mode and challenges
- New multiplayer horse races, complete with mounted combat
- Play as the heroes and villains of Red Dead Redemption, as well as 8 additional multiplayer characters
- Multiplayer versions of Liars Dice and Poker from the single-player game
- Introducing a new weapon: the Explosive Rifle, with associated challenges available in single-player and multiplayer gameplay
- New achievements and trophies

3) Free Roam Pack (TBD release date; $10)

-Delve deeper into the world of Red Dead Redemption with
new modes, challenges and gang hideouts to discover
-New action areas and defensive placements
-Posse scoring and leaderboards
-New anti-griefing measures in Free Roam (Note from Stephen: Any theories on this, readers?)

4) Undead Nightmare Pack (TBD release date; $10)

- Ghost towns and cemeteries come alive in a West gone horribly wrong
- Brand new single-player adventure, challenges and quests
- 8 new multiplayer zombie characters
- Additional animals unleashed in the world
- New dynamic events and more

Rockstar has not released any screenshots of the new modes, so you'll have to guess what their Red Dead zombies look like. Interesting DLC strategy for this game. Rockstar's last big games, Grand Theft Auto IV, received two massive single-player-centric add-ons released more than a year after the game and offering over a dozen hours of gameplay and story for $20. With Red Dead, Rockstar is creating smaller portions of content and releasing them much closer to release, emphasizing an expansion of multiplayer more than single-player. Both plans were ambitious, showing that Rockstar is serious about post-release support. (But not so serious, folks — zombies!)

[JBregz]

It sounds way cooler in RDR as it is an expansion to single-player as well.

I'm really glad to see Rockstar supporting this game much earlier than GTA IV.

I'm more than a little disappointed to see that out of four add-ons only ONE features additional single player content? I also think $10 a piece is a bit steep.

fair enough, im about the world's toughest DLC critic anyway. i think the only game ive ever bought DLC for is the Rock Band Series. if i were 18 again id probably buy everything to do with RDR but now with a son and a mortgage its a little harder to buy stuff like this.

I have plenty of disposable income and I hardly buy DLC as well. Mostly because I'm a single player guy first and most DLC is multiplayer modes. Unfortunately the slated DLC for this game seems to be following that same mold, which is a shame. I do like the co-op gang hide out stuff but I'm not sure that it's worth $10.

There is so much that they could expand on with the single player yet only ONE of the four packs seems to have some cool single player stuff. And of course it's the pack that comes out last.

What about the...

 

"I know you" stranger? And how about the fact that you finished the game as FUCKING JACK MARSTON?!?

They couldn't expand on that?

Just picked this up from Gamestop for their power hour.

Hope to see it within a week or two.

[Tengo Juego]

$24 dollars is a steal. The $40 worth of DLC wont be such a ripoff, should you choose to buy.

[j.hen]

Bought this game and still havent beat it. I just cant get into it. Probably will trade in for NCAA.

I was seriously considering picking up the 360 version with that sale but every time I checked the site was jacked.

[cf24]
