Keeps freezing at Las Hermanas for me, and I need to go here to move on. Fantastic.

Same happened to me. I ended up completing another mission and heading back there afterwards. I'm pretty sure you can read up on it at the R* forums.

 

[Jafku]

Alternatively if nothing else works your gonna have to delete the game data, reinstall it and the dlc

Beat the game and all the challenges. Just need to do all the missing persons to get 100%

Lack of zombie bears? I get swarmed by them just short of Tall Trees.

Seriously! Cougars, check. Wolfs, check. Coyotes, check. Bores, check. Bears? Not a single damn one in all the time I've been playing so far (6/7'ish hours I think). And I've been in and out of tall trees pretty often lately, de-zombifying the settlements there.

 

[BLaZiN PRopHeT]

So yeah, I'm assuming that there's a mission after

John's zombification

but I can't find anything. Anyone found anything?

I wouldn't mind killing Seth.

it seems it might be the end... everyone on every forum is stuck at the same place

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

Game keeps crashing for me in the nunery for some reason.

Edit: Wow, way to go rockstar, seems a bunch of us with the same issue.

 

[Peter303]

The trouble with Rockstar games is I never know if there's been a glitch or if i'm just crap. Armadillo was being overrun so had to go talk to the survivor leader on the roof of the building opposite the saloon. Thing is, there doesn't seem to be anyway of getting up there?
Same for one of the weapon chests on the roof of the building next door, I can't get onto that roof either. wtf?

[GDJustin]

Finally got a chance to dive into this, today. It's as awesome and epic as I was hoping it would be.

The undead enemies give the game a very different feel. In the base game, being patient was a MUST - you had to hide behind cover and pic your shots - no running & gunning. Here, it's te exact opposite. I have found that being stuck to cover is a huge liability. I have just been running around, lining up headshots out in the open.

Also relieved to see that the "saved town" timer appears to be quite long. Being forced to save and re-save areas lest they be lost forever was my #1 concern, but I did several story missions, cleared out several towns, and did some sidequests and the first town I saved is still safe. Excellent!

I dunno what portion of it I got through today... if I had to guess, I would say one third to one half. If I have one complaint, it is that so far it has been too easy. Yeah I've been fucked up by zombie wildlife a couple times, but the actual humanoid enemies are all cake.

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

Yes, multiple people experiencing a freeze at the exact same point in the game points to an Xbox problem, get this crap out of here.

Turned out there was a glitch. I wasn't able to hop over small fences either. After resetting the PS3 and reloading and I was able to climb onto the roofs easily.

 

[TimeLike]

I bought this DLC and cant get past the first part without running out of ammo. How headshot a zombie? It always lines my shots up at the enemies' chests automatically.

Don't be a puss, and change the aiming system to Hard (or expert, forget what it is called). That way there is no awful lock-on.

You are playing on Casual Aim. Even then get a feel for it, you can tilt the RS slightly up to get a headshot. I switched to Casual for post-game stuff to get 100%, and it worked well.

 

[StevePharma]

YOU EAT BABIES ! :lol

Got 100% last week, loved it. One of the best value for money deals right now.

There HAS to be another single player DLC in the works, no way RS San Diego leaves all these assets, which cost a bazillion dollars to make, when the product is still fresh.

Also where is my offcial Undead Nightmare OST release Rockstar? I want that! :lol

 

[Hey You]

Anybody else not able to clear towns playing as

Zombie John

after the main game?

I go into towns that I haven't accessed yet and I can't save them or anything. Only the ones I discovered and cleared out before.

 

[Shinjitsu]

The lock-on works great, like someone already said. Use the lock-on to snap to the target quickly, then tilt the stick up a little. Fast easy headshots that aren't frustrating as hell to pull off on horseback.

 

[Dartastic]

Horseeee stuff.

Spoiler

I'm looking for the remaining 3 horses of the apocalypse, and the unicorn. where can I find them? Can I be on War while searching for the others?

Also, is there any story related goodness that can occur after

[afternoon delight]

Rockstar loves themselves some b-grade zombie movies. :lol This expansion is above and beyond. Really satisfied.

 

[Host Samurai]

I see tons of zombie bears in Tall Trees area

Decided to give this a whirl and take a break from cod, I played the crap out of RDR on release but damn I forgot how great this game looked.

It is definitely among the top 3 best looking games this generation. The art and lighting is on a whole other level.

Edit: If I lose a Special Horse is there ANY way to get him back??

After you beat the challenges with the horses, you get a bond and can summon any of them whenever you want.

 

[LightofRohan]

Just finished up this beauty! Wow what an awesome DLC pack, holy crap. This should have been $20 - last time I'd say that about a DLC I bet. Can't believe there is SO much and it is SO cheap. Provides more entertainment than most $60 games. I can't believe a game like Force Unleashed 2 (plus many others) is charging $60 for an experience that lasts half as long and is more than twice crappier.

Edit: If I lose a Special Horse is there ANY way to get him back??

Yes! The game at times can look just "good" but at other times, when the lighting is just right and you are in a town crammed with detail and the dust/tumbleweeds are blowing in the direction of your flowing duster - it looks like one of those Tech Demo's back in the day of the console announcements.

Alright, I'm convinced that Sharpshooter Rank 5 is complete bullshit.

I'm guessing that's the kill 5 zombies with a sniper rifle under 8 seconds? A hint if nobody said it already - you don't HAVE to use bullets...

 

[crispyben]

I'd like to try this out, but I imported my RDR copy from the UK to France, and the DLC on the French PSN store doesn't mention which serials it is compatible with. Do any of you know if that would work, or if any Euro DLC woks with any Euro game?

Any euro dlc will work. The problem with DLC is only when you have a different region disc than the DLC.

 

[BeeDog]

Actually, I think discs can differ between European countries as well, but this is mostly applicable to Sony-published games. RDR should be alright though.

Thanks for the input, guess I'll give it a try when I get around to it.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

I just started this today. It's been a few months since I finished Red Dead so it's nice to go back!

Overall, I'm a bit torn, though. I love the cutscenes and the general attitude towards yet another instance of zombies appearing in a game. It's a brilliant parody/homage in many instances, and the whole thing just has a really surreal atmosphere to it. With that said, it's still pretty intense to see a handful of people trying to defend their town against a horde of the undead. I'm impressed they got the balance right.

However, the missions are disappointing. I've just got to the point where I'll be

Spoiler

heading to Mexico

and all I've done is help protect towns, cleanse graveyards and go on fetch quests. It's all repetitive and the fact that the towns will get overrun again kill my enthusiasm to do it. I guess it would maybe take away some of the challenge if after a few hours most of the towns were safe, but it just feels pointless to help a town knowing it won't stay safe.

There have been a few cool side quests that make up for that, though, like the one in Tall Trees where you have to kill 6

Spoiler

Sasquatchs

. I giggled like a school girl when I killed the first and that achievement popped up - lovely little reference to San Andreas! Duing that I also stumbled across a campsite where a man was sat

Spoiler

eating another person/zombie and commenting on how it was tasty due to him being a fatty

:lol

So whilst so far it's not up to the standards of the GTA 4 DLC, it's definitely entertaining and quite refreshing to see the tone of the game change so much. I just hope that the missions get more interesting.

Can't wait.

To do Sharpshooter rank 5 is easy:

Just head over to Jorge's Gap... west-southwest of Armadillo. Just stand at the opening to the ravine and spam the trigger. The zombies are so thick there, getting the challenge is cake.

No you don't even have to shoot. Just melee a bunch of zombies = win.

Dude, you are not done. There should be another green/yellow area of investigation in Tall Trees. You have to hunt more than just one. Just keeping hunting it until you see the yellow/green question mark in tall trees. The end of this strange mission is one of the funniest in the game

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

Yeah I realise that but I walked around in that area for about 5 minutes and saw no others. Don't worry - I will be going back for the rest.

It's 800. The dlc bundle is 1600. Look for Undead Nightmare Pack...not UN Collection.

Wow, that ending was abrupt. There has to be a mission of some sort after becoming a zombie, right? I can't find anything. Lame if this is it.

 

[CartridgeBlower]

I borrowed the Undead Nightmare retail copy from my friend and I'm loving it. But I gave it back to him and am now wondering, if I buy it digitally, will my save from the actual hardcopy version of the game work for the downloaded version? Really hoping so...

 

[Jme]

Might seem like a dumb question but whatever... Just picked up RDR on black friday (hasn't been delivered yet)

If I were to get the Disc based Undead Nightmare, would the included DLC (liars and cheats, etc.) transfer over to my vanilla RDR?

I guess, my real question is, what is a better value for the DLC? Disc based Undead, or DLC based, and buy the other DLCs individually?

If you have RDR, the cheapest value would be the Undead Nightmare Collection DLC Pack. $20 for all the paid DLC. Rather than $30 for a separate disc you'll have to switch too.

Just enjoyed Seth's dance with the undead hooker, heavy woman, Moses and fiddler!

But I'd sure like to watch that cutscene again... Is there any way to replay missions in this game like in regular RDR? I went to Stats and I didn't see a Mission option...
