October 2021 Playthrough - Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare

[Disposed Hero]

Oh man, I hope not. I'm playing on Xbox One. After uninstalling the game and reinserting the disc, it asked if I wanted to install the update and I clicked cancel. I think it was just installing the game from the disc after that. I haven't had the chance to play it since but I'll probably see how it goes tonight.

[GrayGhost81]

Man, let me know how it goes. I'd be nervous to lose my save as well.

[Disposed Hero]

Haha, I was worried about that too, but I checked and it still loaded my old save.

So I played for a while last night and can confirm that the headless NPCs are still a problem. I'm not sure if the game is using the latest patch or not, but I wouldn't be surprised if it installed it without me knowing about it. Fortunately the glitch didn't cause any problems for me this time in terms of mission progression like it has in the past.

[GrayGhost81]

Damn, that sucks. I forgot to mention that I cannot hard save. It just crashes every time. Beware. I have to rely on auto-saves.

I think I'm more than halfway done with the game so I'm just going to roll with it.

[Mr_Stubbes]

That’s weird y’all are having that issue. I wonder if it has to do exclusively with the XBOne port, because I played the PS3 version with no issue.

I was going to participate, but for the life of me, I can't find this game. I honestly thought I had it, but apparently I don't. Anyway, I hope everyone's having a good play-through.

Shaggy, is that you? Did you check your parents' house?

Haha, I could never find an option for a hard save, so I've just been relying on auto saves the entire time. In hindsight, I'm guessing you hard save at a safe house?

I've looked into it, and apparently all versions of the GOTY edition have this problem, but I think it's more prevalent on Xbox for whatever reason. If you're playing the vanilla RDR with Undead Nightmare as DLC on any console, you should be fine.

LOL, my parents would have called me YEARS ago, to come get my gaming crap out of their house

So I finished Undead Nightmare over the weekend. I almost quit playing it at one point because the game kept glitching during the clearing of the Sepulcro graveyard for Mother Superior Blues. I didn't realize how close I was to the end of the game at that point so I'm glad I stuck it out.

I really enjoyed it overall. As much as I enjoyed RDR back in the day, these types of games have come a long way over the last 10 years, and the mechanics felt kinda clunky and dated by today's standards. I would probably go as far as to call RDR 2 the best open-world game of this type, and it's really spoiled me on the genre. Although I was really put off by the mechanics at first, I was able to adjust after spending some time with it, and came away really enjoying it in the end. This has been on my backlog for a long time, so I'm glad I finally got around to finishing this one.
