Red Dead Redemption |BC OT| Backwards in the Saddle Again

I think I'm in board to grab this gem.

But to those saying they got Undead Nightmare but never bought it..

Bought Vanilla disc
Bought Vanilla package

Managed game?

Or is everyone high and forgot they bought it?

Why do I want to buy a Xbone even though I still have my 360 hooked up and game disc at the ready?

You are not alone. I was mainly an Xbox gamer until this gen and still have my stuff. The performance bump for RDR is very appealing and coupled with the Xbones exclusives and price cut its only a matter of time that I'll grab one.
 
the game runs well I had some slowdowns in one of the cities, the antialiasing used is superb.

When I try and purchase it through my X1 I keep getting a browser popup telling me I found a glitch in the system.

Same thing here. I've been trying to buy it all night but no luck. Ended up watching a movie instead. Shame because I had some time free this evening to dive into this game.
 
Made a new game again and played for an hour. The game is still so, so good. This was Rockstar at the absolute top of their game. Graphically it still holds up really well too.

I forgot how many glitches are in the game. Nothing game breaking, but there's some Bethesda style bugs they never fixed. Quite comical.
 
Grand Theft Auto is one of my favorite gaming franchises of all time but I never got a chance to play RDR back on the 360 days, I got the digital game with all the DLC on a Xbox Live sale not too long ago I can't wait to play this game for the first time
 
Is there a way to disable the golden guns?

The info I found pertaining to turning it off via options/config doesn't work for me (it's not listed in there).

hold down LB + RB + left on d-pad + Y + B for a few seconds. you have to do this every time you load the game though =/
 
Best R* game.

I can not wait until they announce the new Red Dead.

Yeah it was really bad for awhile. I stopped playing it because there were people that could freeze your Xbox if you ran into them.

Apparently it got even worse and Rockstar never addressed it since 2014. RDR Reddit seems to have this explanation on what happened:
The Problem
Most of the multiplayer servers are hacked rendering public free roam unplayable. This has been happening for both 360 and PS3 since 2014. Xbox One new comers (or old vets) are just finding out since it still uses the last gen servers. Same servers, same bugs and glitches. Anyways, there currently exists a mod called ride-able zombie mod (you bring a zombie from Undead Overrun and use it as a mount) that spreads throughout the online public servers like a virus because it's a glitch combined with a mod. This mod can be identified as an undying NPC glitched on the ground. Us regular folk see the glitch (it in it's human form as glitched NPC) but not zombie because we're not modded. When shot the glitched NPC will give off a normal amount of XP points but since it can't die the xp score keeps going and going infinitely essentially leveling you up. Doing this will cause the glitched NPC to multiply and eventually cause tremendous lag/slowdown, overloading the server causing a variety of problems including, Invisible players, Infinite loading screens, and Console freezing.

The Bigger Problem
Those ignorant of what the mod is will likely shoot the NPC's for the free XP, completely unaware of the damage they are causing to the game. They will also become infected with the mod behaving sort of like a "nest" for the glitched NPC's, carrying them wherever they go in their games cache, reproducing them and causing the previously stated problems. Even if you avoid shooting the glitched NPC's you will still carry them with you if you either come into contact with a "nest" player or spawn in area heavily infected with them like McFarlanes Ranch.
SWITCHING LOBBIES DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM! YOU WILL ONLY SPREAD THE VIRUS EVEN MORE!

The solution
There is no solution. Rockstar support has made no official comment for a 2nd patch since July 2014. NOT A WORD EVER SINCE! Anyone with a jailbroken console can get mods for RDR and run around freezing other player's consoles. I wish i was joking but i'm not. Remember that when RDR released it was a hilariously buggy game. That's because the game's Rage engine is very messy resulting in lots of glitches. So, the modding community have found multiple ways to abuse the errors in the game's internal code causing it to freeze the console and other game destroying mods like the ride-able zombie mod.

Basically public lobbies are fucked. Avoid them. Private lobbies might be ok?

As I said before, Xbox One killer app rigth there. I'm always on Sony side because reasons and I'm buying an used Xbone to play this. It's one of the true greatest hits of my gaming life.

As someone who is disappointed with the PS3 version of Red Dead Redemption, how is a six-year old multiplatform game a killer app for a current gen console? If that is the case, I think it speaks volumes about quality of selection for the Xbox One.

I would totally get it and play the shit out of it if I had an Xbox One though :p

Because as it stands right now you could call it an exclusive to the Xbox One.

Cause I don't see the PS4 getting native backwards compatible that and most people who bought a PS4 were Xbox users so being able to play their previous catalog is a huge plus.
 
Shitty time for all my shit to have burned up in a fire. Recently moved. In the process of moving, the moving company's warehouse caught on fire and ALL of my videogame shit was lost. I've been waiting for this since BC was announced.
 
I didn't have a credit card so I had to go into my 360 and use an app to make my account more secure and give them another email for verification.
Finally able to buy it! I probably could of entered my credit card to save me the hassle but in sure it's worth it!!
I'm a Virgin to RDR
I'm excited.

So can I just delete the DLC to get rid of the golden guns? Should I?

Per Rockstar:
Question: How can I turn off Story Mode Golden Guns in Red Dead Redemption?

Answer: The method for turning off Golden Guns depends on whether you have the DLC download or the Social Club unlock version.

Downloadable Content (DLC) Golden Guns: You can enable and disable these Story Mode Golden Guns in the in-game Pause Menu under Options->Config.

Social Club Unlock Golden Guns: This Story Mode unlock was recently applied to all players in the 6/19/14 Red Dead Redemption Title Update, and applies only to the Cattleman Revolver and Repeater Carbine. You can disable these gold textures by entering the following codes:

Note: All codes can be performed while in Story Mode gameplay, by holding all listed buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds. It is normal that the weapon wheel may appear and your character may move while holding these buttons.

Note: Turning off Golden Guns does not save to your Story Mode file, so the code would need to be used each time the Story Mode file is loaded.

Turn Off Golden Guns on Xbox 360: Hold all of the following for 5 seconds: RB + LB + D-pad Left + B + Y
Turn Off Golden Guns on PS3: Hold all of the following for 5 seconds: R1 + L1 + left button (D-pad) + Circle button + Triangle button
Turn On Golden Guns on Xbox 360: Hold all of the following for 5 seconds: RB + LB + D-pad Left + A + X
Turn On Golden Guns on PS3: Hold all of the following for 5 seconds: R1 + L1 + left button (D-pad) + Cross button + Square button

Yeah....so I had NO IDEA the game had "Jackalopes" LOL.

I beat this game thoroughly (not counting Undead Nightmare) when it first came out...and had no clue these were in it.

2 hours into my first playthrough on Xbox One and....

giphy.gif

(slowed down)

I was thinking "Are those antlers?!!"

The first time I actually caught the Jackalope was last year and it was by the pure chance of me just wanting to kill a random bunny. Didn't even realize it until the trophy popped up.

I was out just skinning things, thought the same thing.

Edit* I'd like to recommend Hell on Wheels on Netflix to those who haven't seen it. I've been watching it and it's perfect companion between playing this and other things.

I'm not seeing anything in the pause menu.

I couldn't get the codes to work in the config menu either. I had to do it during gameplay. I just pulled my gun out so I could see if it changed. I held all the buttons at the same time for about 5 seconds and the guns changed back to normal.
 
So, yeah, this is my first time playing RDR. What the fuck is up with this A-button bullshit? I'm only at the first save point and I'm already sick of the A button for run/horse speed. Horrible control method...

Shit. Reading comprehension fail.

Sadly you'll need to do the code every time you load up and play the story. =/

It's a Rockstar game. Hitting A or X to sprint has been in all their open world 3D games. lol
 
Got chills when the beginning cutscene started. Goddamn what a game. It looks so beautiful, probably because of the AA and the fact that I have only played the fugly PS3 version.

Supposed to rain a lot tomorrow...good. I know where I'll be.
 
This was always one of my favorite games ever, and loading this up it just reminded me why. Rockstar have never made a game that matches the greatness they achieved here. The graphics look amazing for last gen.

The only thing I don't remember is how laggy the camera is in this. John moves pretty well, but the camera is a bitch to get moving.

Doesn't matter. The vanilla version is only like 7.5 gigs.

After RDR they made Max Payne 3 and GTA V. Those are pretty different games, but yeah RDR's story was never even touched. I kinda doubt Houser can do it again with the third entry. Not counting LA Noire here as that was really just published and tweaked by R*.
 
Can't believe a 6 year old game can still look this good . Rockstar are wizards .

Spent an hour last night trying to find my first treasure map , I love that it doesnt just give you a waypoint and you actually have to find it yourself.

Its my first time playing the game today, but I spotted a system link option in the story mode pause menu, you can try that... Not sure if X1 emulates system link?
Click to expand...
Yeah saw that too, I need to mess with it some more. Anyone know how it normally works? Do you have to manually add people or are they automatically put into free roam if both select system link?
 
Loaded it up today before work and noticed some of my dlc packs were missing. I assumed they'd be recognized as digital purchases, or should I upload the files to the cloud?
