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

Yeah, it's server based. Stopped at 30, and its still there. Hopefully, it'll be smoother getting into games because it's still bugged in and out of menus. But unlocks, titles, level - it's all there.

Don't have my rank, my guns, characters or my horses :(

Perhaps it's just some early live issues.
 
Might be a silly question, but is there a way of taking screenshots without the pause menu popping up?

I'm double tapping the Xbox button to get the record menu up but whenever I do the game goes to the pause menu.
 
Awesome! bought the game digitally back when it leaked (not the complete version) But i have Undead Nightmare now :D
 
I read somewhere that the disc version works better than the digital on X1? Is this true? I wanted to get the digital...but if digital doesn't run well I don't want.

Also, is MP live?

It's not true. If you use a disc, you still download the same file digital owners use to play the game. On XB1, the 360 disc is simply used to authenticate your ownership of the game.

the disc just downloads the game and acts as a check. it's the same thing.
 
This is great news--I just bought the game on Xbox.com so it'll be waiting later. :)

Do we have to manually move the Xbox 360 save over to the Cloud first to utilize that save file on the Xbox One, or is that automatic?

you need to use a 360 to upload your save to the cloud so the xbox one can get it.

I believe the only way is if you have the chatpad that has the dedicated screenshot and record that buttons.
 
I'm inserting the disc and am getting the message that "this game isn't playable here." Is it not available for disc users yet?

You need to force your Xbox to redownload settings file by doing a hard restart (you can do that from menu or holding down power button)
 
Just played it for 2 hours and my god it still holds up.

One thing that's slightly annoying though is this

I get two listings for Red Dead in my achievement list but the one with the OG icon doesn't list any achievements but the undead nightmare one has them all listed. I hope that gets fixed somehow :/
 
How do you tell if the free packs install? Liars and cheats, etc?

I'm not seeing anything about them in the dlc menu.

I believe the screenshot is actually taken as soon as you start tapping the shortcut. Take the shot and test it.

That was a problem on 360/PS3 but on X1 there won't be any difference because the disc is just an authorization key
 
The multiplayer on both consoles was hacked to shit a few year ago. A bomb was inserted that causes NPC corpses to remain on the map indefinitely, which means that even if you do get into a game chances are you won't be able to do anything. Sucks, RDR was the best online experience last gen.

You have got to be kidding me. Convinced three other friends to get the game so we can do some multiplayer. Is Rockstar not gonna fix this?

If you start a private match from the singleplayer it'll work fine. But you can't join multiplayer straight from the main menu. You can attempt to get into an uninfected lobby by starting a private match and then changing to a public lobby and play with other people normally, but it's incredibly rare and if someone joins from an infected lobby it'll infect every lobby they enter.



And no, this infection has been present since 2012.

So... Can they not fix that? Or would it be too expensive?
 
Best way to start multiplayer, especially with friends is to first start a private lobby then invite. I found this will avoid loading screen hangs you get sometimes joining a public lobby.

The original 360 version even had the loading screen problems.

Thanks for the tip. Man, what a terrible hack on one of the best online experiences. This makes me super sad :(

Yeah, that was one of the things I was worried about when they announced BC was coming. A bunch of kids with hacked and jtagged 360s still out there.

MS priority right now seems to be the Xbox One "experience".

Rockstar's priorities are GTA Online content and developing new games.

I don't think Rockstar will fix this.

Excellent, appreciate the replies. Leaving work early today, gonna buy from the X1 store. Looking forward to it.
 
I just can never get into this game. I'm eager to play it and then within 5 minutes I want to quit. Just don't find it to be a good open world game. Too close to GTA4 which I hated.

What a shame. With the resurgence of RDR thanks to BC, I wonder if enough gamers complain about multiplayer, perhaps Rockstar and MS may try to do something about it. Wishful thinking I imagine.

As someone who hates GTA IV and is not a big fan of open world games in general, I found RDR to be the best game in its genre, easily. Not even GTA V comes close, which I found to be a drastic improvement over IV.
 
Feels so good to play this again. The graphics still hold up so well, just give me 1080p 60fps and some good anti-aliasing, call it a remaster, and I'd pluck down full price again.

You're probably the 100th person to make this exact statement. This is bordering on port begging.

Is there anybody that has the elite controller who can recommend a good paddle setup?
 
Highly doubt we'll get a remaster now it's on B/C.
Hopefully a sequel is on the horizon, because playing through again reminds me how much they nailed the atmosphere.
 
The MP being hacked is really disappointing to read :( I had no idea about that and was looking forward to messing around with it tonight.

I'm curious about a good elite setup too. Excited to dive back into this as I never finished it and never touched Undead Nightmare. I remember certain actions on the controller feeling slightly awkward (like trying to chase down and lasso someone) so I'm hoping the elite helps with that.

Glad to hear it looks as good as ever and runs well too!
 
Ugh I have $10 in my MS account but I can't apply it, can I only use it on phone apps or some bs?

You can only use MS credit on digital 360 games if you purchase them directly from an Xbox 360 console. Otherwise, they must be purchased using a valid debit or credit card.

Yes, it's completely ridiculous.
