Well, time for a confession: Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare is one of the few games that has elluded a review. I'll say, right off the bat, that the game is entertaining, at least. It has a good story, good graphics, wide cast of characters and a solid BGM track and voice cast. So why can't I give it a rating? Easy...the gameplay. Unlike many scores that use cumulative points to deliver a verdict, for video games I give my thoughts and weigh scores by how much the negative aspects interfered with my enjoyment of the game itself. RDR has ALOT of them despite being average to great everywhere else. So here's a list of the top 10 things I found that pissed me off about Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare in order from the least annoying to most. #10: Running Zombies This is more of a pet peeve in general about Zombies. Many films and video games depict zombies to be similar to the "infected" from 28 Days Later. Usually, Zombies arise from the dead and can convert the living to their ranks, while infected are living humans who are infected with a virus and are extremely angry. The typ in UN are actual zombies, yet they run. The major problem I have with this though is due to another problem I'll address later. #9: Water Hazards Now, this may be one of my most hated aspects of the game, where simply being waist deep in water kills you. Not only is that bullshit, but due to another certain problem, the DEATH-BY-LIQUID is often unavoidable. #8: Collection Missions This is a legitamate complaint. I spent HOURS on the collection missions just trying to find TWO THINGS!!! It's bad enough that they make the items in question hard as shit to find, but that you can be raped by zombie hordes, or even worse, wolves, all while bending over to pick up some fucking plant. #7: Action Animations An extention of #8, the action animations in this game take for fucking ever to complete and leave you open to attacks. Everything from picking something up to searching a body to putting someone on your horse. All of it is a chore to do and simply wastes too much time. #6: Reliance on Dead Eye Mode This game places great importance on shooting a foe in the head. Unfortunately, due to the really shitty targetting system (aka a single white dot on the screen that disappears in the background easily), the player is forced to use Dead Eye Mode, which pretty much breaks the game in your favor. It slows down time so you can take a shot, and every time you kill an enemy outside of DE mode, it goes up. This will become your best friend, since not only do you have to get only head-shots in UN, you have to hit a running target most of the time. Some zombies also run as fast as you do on foot, or even worse, the animal zombies that run faster than you on foot and can kill your horse. #5: Death of Horses I don't know if this extends to the main game, but until I got the blood pacts of the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse, if they died I didn't get them back and would have to search again. The worst part was that I accidentally shot one of my horses and lost it because I was shooting at a zombie. That should NEVER happen. Period. #4: Your Allies Blow and Can Shoot You I was just recently trying to bring a woman back to a town for a Missing Souls mission and I suddenly died on my horse. No zombies were around me. So, it's safe to assume my allies shot my sorry ass simply because I was in the way. On other occasions, my allies shot at zombies, but only because they were safely on horseback or on a roof. Otherwise, they can't run or find cover, they just stand there. In other words...they're dumber than DW grunts. #3: The Targetting System Compounded by the fact that you can only kill enemies via head-shot, the targetting system has to be one of the worst things about this game. It's so small that it's virtually invisible when targetting at a distance. It's even worse when you have a moving zombie. Having to keep up using the invisible mark is a chore and frivolous. #2: Restart and Revive The game gives you two options. One is to restart at the last checkpoint and the other is to restart at the nearest town with your current status in tact. Most of the time the game gives you the option to select. However, several times during gameplay it overrides the selection and says "FUCK YOU! You're starting over from the last checkpoint!" which eliminates any progress you made. #1: Poor/Stiff Controls Every control blows. From your character to your horse, it's all rigid and stiff or simply awkward. The simple act of slowing down and coming to a stop is the most tedious in the game, as more than once have I tried to stop my horse only for the fucking piece of shit to keep rushing until I either fell off a cliff or in to a river. Even turning is a fucking chore, especially on a horse since it not only takes forever to do, but in a fight with zombies or other creatures, having to turn can spell death for you or prolong the fight to ungodly lengths. Honestly! This game got a 10/10 on IGN! With movement controls like this, any other game would have been given a 5 or a 6 by those cock mongering morons! Now for a final complaint beyond the top 10...this is so horrendous that it still pisses me off. #0: Many of the problems are fixed after you beat the game... Are you fucking kidding me? I went though the whole game just to get the problems FIXED?! My horses can now be revived, no more collection missions, no real care if the game is reset....NOTHING!!!! WHAT THE FUCK?!!! You couldn't just do some of this before?! You couldn't throw in extra perks that actually matter? REALLY?! FUCK THIS GAME!!!!! |
