I'll admit to not being too savvy with the XB1 store and interface as a whole, but I got on last night to look for this and the regular version was $30. Looks like Amazon or Gamestop is the preferable option at this point.

I bought mine through Xbox.com store and it was 7.99 - since I already purchased it I can't see what the price is. I think the $30 one is the GOTY edition which is the base game and Undead Nightmare along with all the random bits of clothing DLC and such

I remember downloading the Deadly Assassin outfit with the eye-patch way back when - my Marston went full on Rooster Cogburn after the ambush at the beginning

Definitely get that outfit as soon as you can.  The Dead Eye benefit is huge.

Also, all you people who love Liar's Dice astound me. That game blows my mind. Melraz gets a huge kick out of playing it with me because it's round after round of me going "How the FUCK did you know what I had?????" Y'all can keep that confusing ass calculus test of a game - I'll stick with Texas Hold 'Em.

Yeah, I think melraz must've told me about that at least 50 times.  I kinda want to play just to see that.

I just ordered the GOTY edition on Amazon for $25. I'm 95 years old and still prefer physical media.

I'm looking forward to playing through the story again. Did it twice on PS3, and I don't think there's a single video game moment as powerful as that song that hits when you ride to Mexico for the first time.

I look forward to seeing you insane asylum escapees online. Now we just need Robert to figure out how to strap dynamite to a horse's nose and gallop it up someone's ass.

Audio from at least two deleted stranger missions is online

So rusty at riding a horse. 

Went in multiplayer and never saw another person.

Just got back home from being out of town and popped this in to relive a little singleplayer. 7GB install? To quote a wise man named Bluto Blutarsky, 'HO-LY SHITH!"

I think I could figure out how to build a time machine and go to the actual 1800s wild west before this sumbitch finishes.

[odessasteps]

I just keep riding around picking flowers and killing animals. If i happen to run into a random or stranger event, i do them, like the religious chick dying out in the desert.

So what's the consensus on where Undead Nightmare falls in the storyline?  Some say it happens between the "Marsden is home with his family" segment of the main story and the mission where he dies.  But that can't be correct because I remember that Uncle dies in both stories in different ways.  There's something similar with Nastas as well, right?

I was always of the opinion that it's all a dream, hence the "nightmare" in the name.

Apologizes for posting spoilers for a 5+ year old game.

Dick, some of us have a pile of shame...this is in my pile of shame.

Lol

I made it off the train, out to the ranch, shot some coyotes.  So im as far as I was on the 360 now

[RUkered]

Got on to play with a buddy of mine last night. Took us nine years to figure out how to invite each other into our rooms. For those who may not know, hit select and start at the same time to bring up the 360 menu.

[odessasteps]

Beat a guy playing heads up poker. I mostly had crap for 25 hands, with us jockeying back and forth. 

And then i got 2 Queens and he went all in before the flop with nothing. I ended up winning with 2 pair. 

[Technico Support]

Just finished the game.  Just as awesome as it was the first time.  I got a little verklempt when the splash screen for the final mission came up, knowing what was coming.

[odessasteps]

Had my first death by cougar.

i was trying to do the achievement of killing wolves with my knife and it was dusk near twin rocks and im killing the wolves and then one moves in really fast from the rear and then i realize its a cougar. And while i was trying to pull out my revolver, it killed me.

welcome back to the game for real now.

The best way to get that achievement is to wound the wolf with a gunshot first.  Cougars work the same way but a wounded cougar will run and then you just feel like an idiot chasing a hurt cougar across the map with your knife.

[odessasteps]

I had just shot a bunch of them and then realized i needed that achievement so i hopped off myhorse and ran around for a minute or teo until the new ones spawned. 

[Tromatagon]

I just used the knife like a fucking man

[Jiji]

It's the only way. 20 minute bear and cougar chases are part of what make this game great imo.

[RUkered]

I haven't gotten around to trying that stuff again. When I did it on PS3, I think it's the closest a video game has ever come to inducing a panic attack.

I can't remember the name of it right now, but I know I did the cougar knife challenge at some cabin where they seemed to spawn a lot. Nothing like standing in there hearing those damn screams and seeing them slink past the windows.

[odessasteps]

Last 3 times i tried to do multiplayer, i could not get through.

Just about ready to cross into Mexico (aka Monument Valley) in story mode.

Finally got around to starting this. Might have made a mistake starting on Hardcore. So far I've shot some rabbits; let a bunch of coyotes run off with Bonnie's chickens (but she seemed to think I was a good shot anyway); finished the race with her on my third attempt - didn't come close to winning, but at least I didn't die or fall too far behind and have the mission cancelled; encountered two guys in a fist fight on the side of the road and accidentally trampled one with my horse; shot some outlaws with the marshal; and made some easy money playing poker in Armadillo. Game seems alright.
