- A retrospective in-depth critique and analysis of Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare.
This video follows on from the in-depth review I made on Red Dead Redemption and if you haven’t seen that, I’d recommend watching that first as a lot of the points I’m going to make here will be referring to things I talked about in that video. But I thought it might be fun to take a look at this DLC and examine what changes they made from the main game, for better or worse and how my thoughts on this might differ from those on Red Dead.

Hope you enjoyed this video, let me know what you thought in the comments and be sure to follow me on Twitter! @thinreaper
The "surf song" is actually a horrorbilly song - it's basically rockabilly with horror themes, sometimes with a country bend. I guess it was included to add to the 50s B-movie feel of the expansion.
It's cheesiest thing ever. That's why I love it.
The whole point is to be cheesy
All I know is when that song kicked in, riding fast and heading to Escalera to confront Reyes.... It was unexpectedly random and AWESOME.
I enjoyed the addition of the Sasquatch. It would've been cool to explore Tall Trees and see them in the main game.
You eat baby's
@@COOLMCDEN "Berries- we eat BERRIES!"
Lol ummm hmmm didn’t gta 5 do that too only shittier cuz turns out it’s just a dude
I liked the name of the Achievement.
You cant eat me, I’m Herbert Moon!
Also I have a theory about the grave yard bosses
I think they’re the most “evil” kind of people and therefore retain their minds since they must be such monsters they don’t really need to be made mindless, like the girl at black water said how bad her uncle was and also all the boss’ undead talk in a demonic voice like demons, and I don’t know about you but a talking undead seems freaking weird even for this game, there has to be a bigger picture otherwise we would hear other undead speak every now and then, also the character designs kinda scream evil too... I’ll be back on that in a minute when I do more research
Alma Horlick seems pretty evil to me even if she is undead now, I can’t make out what she says exactly if you could comment on what she says it would really help
Spirit Walker She says “this was supposed to be my perfect day!” She also said the same thing in her side quest in the regular version of RDR
My opinion [its just my opinion before watching the video just saying] is that it was a 4 stars game
Gameplay. Gameplay is amazing considering I played this game in 2018 and I love it however the head disappearing glitch is annoying so if the head glitch was removed the gameplay would be top notch
Story. The story isn’t as good as the original however it doesn’t disappoint as it sends you all across the map to benefit others more than your self which is a big point of undead nightmare that people need to work together to survive
Main character. I found John way better in this dlc than the original game he’s way more serious about this and he’s not afraid to pull the trigger on a fello human in order to stop the end of the world
Towns. The towns mean something in this game they act as safe zones more than just places to stock up on goods
And that’s my main review for now if it wasn’t for the glitch with the zombies this game may have been one of my favourites, and that’s saying something when you play fallout
Spirit Walker I’ll be more serious if I died once too
This in depth reviews are some of my favourite videos. I immensely enjoy then. Great work! And as a late subscriber, it will be a joy to go back through previous episodes of this meaty series.
Seems like people in the comments just didn't like this game because they weren't good at it lol
@Broccoli no
@Broccoli fuck you got me 😔😂
@Broccoli wtf dude is a good added many good things
@@serenseitcean2051 nope there are major glitches in this game.they'll never fix it just completely bugged
mario gonzalez nope.
I absolutely loved RDR 1, and after completing that I was excited as hell to jump into Undead Nightmare! I bought both games in the combo pack for the Xbox 360 around a year & a half ago (I finally got back into gaming after an 8 year hiatus), so not only did I get them for a fantastic price but I also had access to plenty of information online where I learned the Xbox One version of Undead Nightmare was basically unplayable. That said, the 360 version was plenty buggy even after making all the tweaks to optimize its performance.
I played it for a few hours before moving on to another game. I liked some things about it, but overall I just couldn't maintain interest. Saving the towns just felt like Rockstar operating at 50% effort & just refined a few things with the gang territory feature from San Andreas and made that the majority of gameplay. I tried to.stick it out a bit longer, but I rode my horse through a train tunnel and somehow caused the game to crash & took that as a sign of it being time to move on. I'm currently playing RDR2 now and LOVE it!
Great video!!!
I LOVE this expansion. But I'm lost at the moment. I've cleansed every town, and I can't find any more missions to do. I'm just riding around forever, not knowing where to go. I haven't even got to Mexico yet.
U need to find the plants still i think
Find the plants
I could never play Undead Nightmare for very long, played in short bursts, as I never felt safe anywhere and got stressed out way too easily. Maybe if I got one of those legendary steeds like you did, in particular death, I would have had an easier time.
I had that feeling too when I was younger but now it feels like a walk in the park now
Same^ 👍
@@SurferCaliSoca lol I was barely 10 when I beat this you guys are softies!
Thank you, I really enjoy your videos!
If you want to do another Western-Horror game, I'd suggest Capcom's "Darkwatch", where you, an outlaw turned vamperic vampire hunter, are recruited by the group known as Darkwatch, and you're sent out to battle western-themed vampires, and other undead monsters. There's even a "Morality" system, which, depending on the amount of Good or Evil choices you do can determine if you get Good Powers, or Evil Powers. Then there's all the cool weapons - your average six-shooter is a child's toy compared to its counterpart, which holds 24 shots, and things get crazier from there.
Throwback af
They should have put a bunch of zombies during the song.
You mean “who do you voodoo bitch”
I liked everything about this game except the quest with picking flowers and the one with finding a retcher. I even liked the travel to Escalera song! I still play this game for fun, I love messing around with survivors and undead:) Overall, It's my favourite dlc ever, I like it more than the base game. Oh yeah, let's not ignore the fact that this game used to scare me sooooo much! I was younger at that time.
watchin in 2019 cuz rdr2 leaks about undead nightmare 2
I'm enjoying this channel a lot. Binging on all your videos right now. lol
Best zombie game ever...just might be for the challenge of the headshot alone. Thanks for this review I had written this game off ebcseu I keep getting glitch where the zombies are invisible but not there clothes, not sure but I'm guessing it goes away?
Definitely not the best zombie game ever
I love this game, but how tf did no one say anything about the glitches like everyone but you becomes headless, or zombies turning back into humans in an instant. has that not happened to anyone else?
A couple of people have mentioned this DLC being very buggy/glitchy, but I can honestly say I didn't experience any bugs during my playthrough! What did you play on? I was on Xbox 360.
thinreaper I'm on Ps3, yeah I've been getting sick of the glitches this used to be all I played. I'm giving it a shot now with no patches, seeing if that'll fix it
thinreaper so far it's doing better. I'm actually able to tame the horses, I tried earlier and it would let me on as long as I'm holding down aim, but it'd fling me off as soon as I let go.
@@thinreaper I do have Xbox 360 and Xbox one backwards compatible on the one but it's still doing the same damn thing with the glitches
I am playing the Xbox 360 game on Xbox One. I rarely encounter this glitch now, I used to see it everytime.
I almost didnt watch cuz you had no views or subs but i waa blown away! Excellent review!
pretty good in depth review, I have to agree with most of the points you have made... I might check other ones in the future
nice Video just what i was looking for👌
is this the xb one version? looks pretty nice
Thanks man! All the footage was recorded running on an Xbox 360.
Bob Rolf xbox 360 games are compatible for xbox one buddy :]
If a town becomes lost and you resave it do residents ever return?
I just watched the red dead redemption base game review and immediately subscribed
They should have made a similar game for RDR2 but a Cowboys vs Aliens version, would have been a perfect fit. Also, there should have been a multiplayer free roam for UN
The only issue I had with Undead Nightmare (which seems to be an issue a lot of people have lately too) is that it's buggy as hell. There's a really annoying glitch where randomly every NPC and zombie will have invisible heads and sometimes even their arms. At first I thought it was just a visual bug but whenever I tried cleansing a town with the glitch, the zombies wouldn't stop spawning. they would spawn indefinitely and the town cleansing meter wouldn't rise no matter how many zombies I killed. Same would happen with cleansing graveyards. They'd just keep spawning and it sucks because it renders the game unbeatable, especially the final mission in the tomb where they just keep spawning. It's extremely annoying as I just got the Game of the Year Edition after it was on sale for $10 and there seems to be no fix other than deleting a patch, which means no playing online.
Bro it's not surf music, it's psychobilly, a genre of music closely tied with themes like zombies and 50s-60s horror movies
i would like to see you do a in depth review on the walking dead after the last ep for se3 comes out
I doubt I would do an in-depth review of those games because I don't think I would be able to find enough interesting stuff to say about the gameplay/art direction etc but perhaps a story critique might be a good idea! I've only played the first season so I need to play the newer ones but when I get round to that I might do something like that, thanks for the suggestion!
I'll be real with you, I enjoyed it even more than a main game...
I like you’re video bud
But I don’t understand the critic behind some missions
Like: you’re hating that there is so much action (shooting etc) but you’re also hating that there is not enough action in some other missions directly after the action missions
You know what I mean?
Man I wish RDR2 had some single player dlc like this.
Yeah, since GTA V it seems like Rockstar's new strategy is to focus all their efforts on growing and expanding the Online mode. I guess that's a much bigger return on their investment.
@@thinreaper God i despite this new "only focus on online stuff" attitude these game makers have nowadays its really quite depressing.
@@midnight347 agreed!!
I have all the DLC for Red Dead Redemption for the Xbox 360 I play Undead Nightmare from time to time but it's really rare I'm just really not a big fan of it I don't hate it I just play the normal campaign and not the what if situation with the zombies but maybe it's just me zombies are kind of overused in my opinion
Have you ever thought about the game being broken in undead nightmare it sucks it has major glitches
If only it was on PC. Needs remaster
this DLC sucks - it's a great DLC but all the glitches killed it
Personally, I couldn't stand this expansion at all, which is more a fault of how I played the game the the quality of the expansion itself. Because headshotting was just a flick of the joystick away when auto-aiming was turned on in the base game, I turned it off and played the entire game without just fine. But undead nightmare just doesn't play well at all like that, enemies are way too mobile to make hitting their heads any reliable and it was just a frustrating pain to play, the kind that makes me yearn for a mouse and keyboard.
I could have turned on the auto aiming again, that would have helped tremendously I suppose, but when I play a shooter, I want to have to aim myself. That seems like the point of the genre. So I just hated my time with Undead Nightmare.
God forbid I actually have a challenge in my game
Could only play it with the infinite ammo cheat on.
Fuck this game, its going nowhere, so I just used to blow away hundreds of Zombies at the Fort. Great fun!!
It was easier to do close quarters combat, because you'll whack them in the face before executing them
Its definitely flawed. Being a kid I didn't realize how boring this dlc got during the west dilkens missions and the nuns.
Does this have anything to do with the main story?
This DLC was better than the whole Mexico section in the base game.
Cause: *L U M B A G O*
do gtav please!
Don't get me wrong this is a great game by the looks of it but there are some major problems people had in this game and it's a huge big glitches and Buggs
Have to be honest; I didn't experience any glitches when I played the game, either the first time upon release or when I replayed it years later for this review. If I had experienced them I would have mentioned them, but it's obvious lots of players are having problems. It's a shame as Rockstar obviously won't be patching the game now after all these years.
Review GTA iv and GTA v man your bids are awesome, just subscribed
Best console DLC ever made!
Cap, witcher 3 blood and wine is the best
Tomahawk melee attacks break this game lmao
I won t give ammo to anyone. I will keep them all for my self
First time I played undead nightmare I killed every survivor I found for ammo😂😂
please review GTA V
John Marston >>>>Your mom
Just facts,not an opinion
Sadly, this game is fucked up now.

Also I never understood what I was suppose to do, I went to a town and after I killed the zombies I didn't even know what I was suppose to do because I ran out of ammo and honestly I just did;t even understand the game or what it is was asking me, and if you hadn't made this video I would nave have even thought the game has a point or that it's even playable...yeah that kinda sounds weird but if I did that how many other people basically just tossed the game aside and said well I guess this game sucks or something?
You Suck at survival horror games
You're definitely the minority
Do GTA 5
What a horrible game/dlc this was. It felt unfinished. it is a game where you need to climb roofs and traverse obstacles on the ground to get away from zombies. And it is bugged like hell. Too many times i found myself jumping like a moron while i was torn away by zombs. The story is as lazy and hollow as RDR. They let the worst caracters live, like the snake oil salesman and Seth. Nothing new. Unaffected by hype and propaganda score; 2/10
squick1842 why did you click on the video if you don't like it
Gee this guy doesn’t know what a good video game is.
Your right it looked good but played like a piece of shit.
@@carsonsmith1732 I used to love the game but until then they'll never fix the headless people and the coot mission level like I played as much long for like 2 hours on one mission nothing counted the zombies that's why it is rated to a 2 /10
@@mjag2834 I agree like I said there are major problems that rockstar tried to fix but they couldn't fix the bugged glitches and the headless people
