 Episode 29: Wreck of the Serendipity I'm kind of surprised the Serendipity never becomes a gang hideout after this mission.

 seems like a pretty good payout considering Marston's entire job in that stranger mission involved walking a few feet away and saying like two sentences to a dude.

We're close to the home stretch and I really want to wrap this up soon, so I figured I'd try to upload these remaining videos a bit quicker than usual. We'll see how that goes, but here's a video now. Episode 30: At Home With Dutch In today's episode, John and Nastas head to the mountains to search for Dutch van der Linde's hideout. Also, sorry about the pops in my commentary audio - RTX Voice was acting up, it seems. Unfortunately, this audio issue will persist to some degree for a few more episodes because I kept the same settings across multiple recording sessions, but I'll just disable RTX Voice for the last session and that'll hopefully fix it.

 Episode 31: Just Like the Old Days We finally meet up with Dutch face-to-face, and he's still the same as he was back in the day when John left the gang. That is to say he's an insane murderer. And if Dutch seems bad, check out who we have to hang out with after that! In a game chock full of awful people, Professor MacDougal somehow manages to be one of the most loathsome of them all. Naturally, that means we have to protect his life at all costs.

The fact they even offered the option that you can warn the prohibitionist is a surprise to me. Some reprieve in the, by now, trite Rockstar nihilism.

I find Dutch and Nastas having the same voice actor to be really distracting. Though I guess that wasn't a problem for long.

I hadn't realized until pretty late in these videos that RDR II was a prequel, so this is really reconfiguring what I thought was going on in the opening bits (which is all I've played so far). Dutch is still talking basically the same poo poo, though!

 Episode 32: Our Days Are Over It's time for John to finish this Dutch business once and for all and return to his family. Will the agents honor the deal? Let's find out. My audio had some issues with crackling and pops again thanks to RTX Voice trying to process my voice a bit too hard, sorry about that. The next video's commentary is the last time I used RTX Voice, so after that everything should be OK.

The song is actually much better timed if you choose to follow the roads instead of cutting cross-country: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_dBxGThEx8

A turret bossfight feels very very early 00's game design. Also the Rockstar writing is starting to become really grating by now.

It's hard-coded to play when you automatically get on the horse after the cutscene, and if you get off for any reason it's not going to play again.

I was convinced there were two Jose Gonzales tracks in this game, but the sound track only mentions Far Away so I guess the other one was this track by someone who does not in any way sound like Jose Gonzales.

Doc M posted:This one is Jamie Lidell. It's a good track definitely and having just spend 5 minutes down an internet dead end, conflating him with James Lavelle from Unkle, I'll have to check him out to justify the wasted mental energy. As for the game, I think the few moments of sincerity not based around violence that it has are a large part of why it holds such a large place in my gaming headspace. As we've seen from the LP most of the game is spent bouncing between cretins and the manipulative but the grounding towards the start with Bonnie and here with finally meeting your family really push the game up. It could have done with more though, I'm sure  felt they had some deep point with the relentless futility of the sidequests but it's actually been quite exasperating to watch here.

Speaking of John's family, here's another update! Episode 33: The Quiet Life His mission finally complete, John is now free to enjoy life with his loved ones (and Uncle) once more. Of course, as we're swiftly reminded, running a ranch and being a family man isn't always sunshine and rainbows, especially when you're a former outlaw who isn't very good at running a ranch or raising a family. This is the last of the bad audio episodes. RTX Voice is a perfectly fine audio tool but it isn't perfect, and I should've done more testing before I used these settings for recording.

 Episode 34: John Marston and Son (and Uncle) Now that we're getting back into the swing of things at the Marston ranch, John should probably take some time to hang out with his son. Sadly, before we get to that we'll have to spend time with Uncle, but at least that gives us the opportunity to mercilessly dunk on the old goat.

 Episode 36 (FINAL): Violent Hearts In this episode, we hit the postgame to wrap up the last dangling loose end - as well as the LP itself. It's taken entirely too long, but we're done! Finally! Stick around until the end of the credits to find out what we'll be doing next. Here's the last newspaper as well:

That was a pretty neat way to wrap up the story. Dickhead government man getting killed because he created another of the gunmen he was ostensibly ending was a pretty nice comeuppance. I'm sad you didnt take the juvenile route and destroy the moment by shooting him in the dick a bunch.

Am I misremembering that you can let him live (and not just by letting him kill you)? I was sure that on my second play through I decided to not follow the cycle of violenceTM. I wonder if you shoot around him before triggering the cutscene if he goes in to fleeing NPC mode, I have this vague memory of sending him running in to the shallows. That said i also remember him being humanised a lot more than this in this last strangers quest so maybe it's just been a long time and I've mangled the whole thing in my mind. Anyway thanks for the LP Doc M, that was a long ride and good to experience it all again. Hope you don't sound quite so relieved it's over at the end of the next one!

Anyway, considering what I said the next LP is gonna be (for those of you who didn't stick around until the end of the video, it's RDR II because I make very smart life decisions), I'll be quite surprised if we ever reach the end of that one.

It's been several years since I played through RDR but I'm pretty sure I mowed down all of Ross' family before I got to him. unpatched Undead Nightmare?  It is October......Anyways. Thanks for the wonderful LP, I really enjoyed it. I love the story, I love the game, but I really can't bring myself to play through it again and this LP scratched the itch perfectly. I just wish I knew why John's VA insisted on yelling so many of his lines.

oldskool posted:unpatched Undead Nightmare?  and the unicorn  ) but the core gameplay gets really old really fast and the 360 (and especially PS3, which already had serious trouble with the less demanding main game) hardware can't keep up with the zombie hordes and the new graphical effects so it constantly runs at roughly 20 fps on the original system. That is a slight problem when headshots are an absolute must and Dead Eye is limited. Obviously, I can't run it unpatched on the Xbone X because the required download is already the latest version of the game.I could give it a shot on the BoneX to see if it works any better than it did a few years ago on an original Bone. I didn't see any of the weird glitches in Digital Foundry's footage when they tested the DLC on the BoneX, but maybe they just got lucky while recording (I think I actually asked about this in the Youtube comments at the time, but didn't get a reply). edit: I played about an hour of Undead Nightmare on the BoneX and did not encounter the invincible enemy bug (a software bug that causes enemies to become invincible, not an enemy insect that is invincible), although the game did crash when I saved after fast traveling. Crashing to a black screen is what happens when you try to save while the bug is in effect, so maybe I triggered it by fast traveling. e2: As a wise man once said, "ASSSSSSS!"  This is what happens when the bug triggers. Some or all zombies in the game turn into headless gunmen you can't kill. Why couldn't this happen 15 minutes into the first session like the last time I tested the DLC on Xbone?  Welp, off we go to boot up the unpatched version on original hardware then. I'm actually having a surprising amount of fun with this DLC, so maybe I will do it after all if the performance isn't too poo poo on original hardware. Good thing my 360 is hooked up because I just played through NieR on it and haven't unplugged it yet. DMorbid fucked around with this message at 02:49 on Oct 9, 2020 |

It's always really weird to me that YouTube's system ultimately lets random companies just claim ownership of your stuff until you refute it. Like, that's irrefutably somewhere between yours and Rockstar's content, but the onus is on you while these guys would claim whatever bucks and stuff they want from others' work.

I've disputed the claim and expect Youtube to rule in favor of me because it's obvious to anyone with eyes and even a shred of common sense that I didn't steal these fuckers' footage, so hopefully the video gets to go up in a couple of days. I tried to put a modified version up in the meantime, but then they just claimed a different part of the video. Great stuff, nice system you've got there. edit: upon further inspection, it seems the claimant is the one who will make the decision whether or not to uphold the copyright claim, so hopefully they're not complete morons DMorbid fucked around with this message at 05:58 on Oct 12, 2020 |

I had something like this happen a couple years ago when posting a stream from a concert I gave and someone in Poland claimed copyright on the public domain music I was performing. Funny, there was music in the concert that was under copyright but none of those got flagged, some mezzo just seemed to think she owned copyright on songs by Brahms. That was resolved by the next day for me, maybe it will be that way here too? Let's hope so

Okay then, all's well that ends well. The video (well, my reupload of it after I took down the original) has been reinstated after the company released the bullshit copyright claim, so let's try this again. Undead Nightmare Episode 1: Love in the Time of Plague Uncle busting into the Marstons' bedroom in the middle of the night while groaning incoherently, with human blood all over his beard, is probably something that happens on a semi-regular basis.

I love this DLC so much. It's just so over-the-top and dumb, they nailed the B-movie tone perfectly. In the Miscellany in that last newspaper, do we know who the "Handsome man of means" refers to? Most of them are references to in-game characters (Irish, you died as you lived) but I can't pin that one down. inflatablefish fucked around with this message at 19:02 on Oct 13, 2020 |
