I love the way everyone keeps ignoring the fact that RDR Undead Nightmare sucks

Yet everyone is praising the original game

What gives?

I thought that was an expansion.. not an actual game. And I thought that expansion was praised. Even if it wasn't, it doesn't detract from the quality of the original game.

It's the worst game of the year because a blogger said so? It's DLC, and it's got plenty of praise. Definitely one of the best valued DLC's this gen, imo.

Uhh... 1st of all it's aadd-onand NOT a game, even if it's sold seperately (which I am unaware of btw) you would still be missing out on thw main game. And add-ons are going to be shorter than the main game, it's just common sense! I don't know if the OP is joking or being serious, but I enjoyed it and had a pretty fun time with it overall. I guess the OP is just angry becaause he ignorantly assumed an ADD-ON=FULL GAME which as WE (well mostly haha) KNOW IT IS NOT!

Hypothetically speaking:

If "title A" gets a 9.5 and everyone loves it and praise it

but then "Sequel to title A" comes out and is bad and everyone ignores it because it's bad

does that mean "title A" should stopped being praised?

It's still just a minor expansion, which served its purpose... give RDR a halloween touch.

Here in the US too. But I think that's just to instalation disc, you will still need Red Dead Redemption in order to play it.

OK im absolutely itching to get in on this. A few things: 1. Although Nightmare is sold as a standalone disc it is essentially just an expansion pack, that was never intended to be a standalone title. 2. I had alot of fun with it and so did countless other people so maybe we all just have bad taste? 3. Besides the fact that the blogger failed at their attempt to write a "smart" review, they just made themselves look like an idiot. Maybe next time you should actually legitimately research said expansion pack before writing a half assed list of complaints. 4. I had no problem with the controls and liked that the zombies were difficult and strong. I liked the challenge. Maybe you just suck at video games? That is all. Sorry about that lol people like that just piss me off. By the way correct me if I'm wrong but im guessing you wrote this blog? It seems kind of odd that you would post a link to some random persons blog in your thread. Just wonderin

I heard it's more repetitive than Red Dead Redemption campaign/single player/whatevs.,so that's the reason I didn't get it.

Ya it is kind of like Liberty City Stories in relation to GTA IV. It's all the DLC for the game but you don't need the main game to play it.

Given the typical scale and scope of DLC I thought Undead Nightmare was impressive. It added a ton of new content and a fresh take on the existing game. Off hand I can't think of any other piece of DLC that has offered as much game play for the money.

Yeah, I can really tell this guy played through all of RDR and Undead Nightmare when he says the guy's name is John Mercer. If you don't even know his name is actually Marston, my god, you have just failed. Source is not credible at all.

This guy has no idea what he is talking about..... 1.) No variety in zombies and they are dull. Then he turns around and says that the fat zombies don't count. He then later complains about the fast zombies, and the zombie animals, and everything else. Seems like there is variety here, he just doesn't want to count them because this game isn't Left 4 Dead. 2.) Zombies are too fast. This was never really a problem for myself, since the game does have the auto lock feature and this amazing thing called Dead Eye which slows everything down and allows you to pick multiple targets. Also Rockstar adjusted the Dead Eye system so it refills much faster this time around. Again this sounds like someone isn't very good at the game and is just upset by this. 3.) Controls don't work with the game. Again this is a problem I didn't have, if I noticed I was getting overrun I would just simply take off running until I could find a safe place to hide out or get back onto my horse to take off. Once again it sounds like he isn't that good at the game and is simply all bent out of shape about it. 4.) Town saving mechanic is broken. The whole point is that the towns are constantly under attack and no where is truly safe. The idea of having to save a town before you can sleep there makes sense, I know I wouldn't want to bed down for the night in a town that was overrun with the undead. Then he complains about having to help out the towns people by giving them ammo. This isn't something you have to do, I've skipped over them plenty of times and just worried about myself. 5.) Forest NPCs are too imba (unbalanced). So here he complains about the zombie animals... This is after he complains about there being no variety in the zombies.... I myself rather enjoyed having the zombie animals there and it definitely makes the game a very intense experience when cruising through the woods. Here's an idea, use Dead Eye to kill things before they get to you, or just use your zombie horse with near endless stamina to outrun them. 6.) Stop with the zombies! Seems like he is in the minority when it comes to zombies in Red Dead Redemption but I do believe that the industry needs to cut back on zombies and pushing them into everything. 7.) Make an original zombie game that is polished. This was a $10 DLC expansion or a $20 retail disk with all the other DLC for the game. I'm not sure exactly what he was wanting from this but I felt for the price (as did many many more) this expansion delivered in every way. Again this seems like he wasn't that great at the game, got kicked around, his feelings got hurt so he jumped online and complained about it. Cry me a river then run Jon Mercer (It is Marston, it isn't like it was said nearly 1,000 times during the course of the game...) right into it.

I have yet to play Undead Nightmare but all I saw with that blog, aside from control issues, were pathetic complaints. Too often in that review was Undead Nightmare compared to Left 4 Dead. :|

I just... no.

Laughable because they are hilarious... Mercer? Really? Has he even played the game through? His only valid point is his complaint about repetition, although he doesn't explicitly state that's the issue.
