o_O

I hate you right now, Peanut.


I won't be able to get the game until tomorrow...


....*&$#^*...

tell me how good it is.

[Peanut]

The zombie killing remains amazingly fun. The game does have it's share of problems though. Mostly, the fact the the entire game is timed is completely ridiculous. Making me choose between 6 different things, all timed, and then punishing me for not completeing something by restarting the game is out of whack. Not to mention parts of the game are nearly impossible to beat on your first try. You have to restart the game from scratch and keep your level and skills and stuff to beat some of it.

If the entire game wasn't timed it would probably be one of the best games in a long time. As it stands, it's an amazing game, great story, tons of fun, but the timed sh*t makes some of it feel tedious. I just leave people to die whenever I see them and continue on with the main missions.

[Peanut]

Man, some of the bosses in Dead Rising make me cry! They're sooo f*cking hard! There's an exploit to all of them though. I found one for most of the ones I've faced so far, but damn is it hard until you find it. I got lucky on one of them. The dude got stuck between two objects and I could take pot shots without getting hurt.

[Spitfire]

I've only face Adam and that one guy in the begining. Adam is sweet...I love the cut scene after you fight him.

I love taking pictures and it's fun. And killing stuff rules...I can't wait ot unlock free roam. I love this game. It's everything I could want and then some.

[Peanut]

I tried to fight him and died on my first play-through. Then I just ignored him on the second one as I was saving the Japanese tourists.

Have you witnessed a feeding scene yet? Wonderfully gruesome.

[Spitfire]

Naw I usually save people or kill them if I get annoyed with them...I'm a bad person haha. I havn't beaten it all the way through yet. Right now I'm at the part where you have to save the Professor.

[Peanut]

Neither have I, but certain parts get way too difficult at low levels and there isn't enough time to just straight up level. I guess you haven't lost out on a Case Mission yet then? If not, you'll see what I mean.

You can start over the game with all your skills and stuff, so I did that and now it's much more managable.

[Spitfire]

No I didn't haha I was a moron and I picked Save and quit then handed it over so my friend could play on his profile. Then I had to restart but I was level 4 so yeah it made things easier. I'm level 9 now. I havn;t failed any cases yet just scoops. Which are hard to get.

And those damn convicts are hard to kill, and their boss music is annoying.

[Peanut]

Yeah, they're really damn annoying.

How many scoops have you hit up so far? I think I've completed about 4 or 5. Only lost one survivor so far, but I've ignored quite a few. I think I'm going to just forget about beating the main caseline and just play through my last day and a half in the mall saving people and killing zombies to get some more levels.

This game really lends itself to replayability. Despite the fact that it can be considered a brawler or a beat-em-up.

[Spitfire]

I've just been doing the main storyline since I restarted so I've just been saving a few people*Who I run into* and then the storyline.

I'm, probly going to play through the rest like this and skip pretty much everything. Doing the bare pretty much. And then after I beat it and unlock the extra modes I'll tackle the other endings.

Doing the cases is enough right now as it is haha

[Peanut]

I agree, but saving people is basically like leveling up. I brought 4 people back at once and got two and half levels out of it.

[Spitfire]

Damn I'll have to keep that in mind.

Right now I'm still trying to kill that stupid guy who looks like Luis from RE 4. I'd use his name but I can't read it because the font is too small.

Edit: Nevermind he got owned

[Peanut]

Carlito. That has to suck that the text is f*cked on anything but HD.

What did you use to take him out? I got him once with a Katana the first time, and then with an SMG the second time. He was a pain in the ass the second time. All I had was a sledge hammer and he just kept running and gunning.

[Kaneda]

I heard this game was good but the timing thing really sucks because you want to just roam around the whole place and you can't or something like that.Also heard the load times are annoying.Man i wanna still play it though.It looks so fun.

[Peanut]

The timing does suck a little, but you can still do whatever you want. You just won't be able to follow the story missions.

I don't find the load times annoying at all though. Sometimes you'll get a couple in a row, simply because the cut scenes load up and then the game loads back, but other than that it's fine. They aren't even long anyways.

[Sliced]

F***ing game ! I'm addicted and now want a friggin 360 !

I'm at my friend's place and we're having a sh*t load of fun with this. Ah man, I think I'm gonna knock him out and play all night ! I find the game a bit hard but man its fun.

The graphics are a bit lame for a 360 game, but they're still pretty good. Man I wish they could make it for the xbox too. That would be awsome, at least I could play without having to knock my friends out :lol:

[Peanut]

I really don't get the complain about the graphics. Maybe it's because I'm playing it in HD, but I think it looks beautiful. The cut-scenes in particular, which are done in real-time, look completely amazing. And the sheer amount of detailed zombie models is just stunning.

They could do this on Xbox, but it would be muddled, and instead of a 1,000 zombies on screen max, you'd get about 30.

[Spitfire]

Handguns both times. I pretty much go to a boss fight...die usually. And then end up stocking up on gun ammo.

Right now I'm on the guy in the supply store with all the power tools. He's freaking hard. I had no ammo just chainsaws and crap.

[Sliced]

Yeah the cut scenes are great, but I dunno, I found better looking games on the 360 than this one. Sure none of those have 1000 zombies on the screen, but I'm pretty sure that the game is not exploiting the 360's limits enough. Well maybe I'm saying this cuz the last game I played was Oblivion... wich does have the best graphics on the 360 yet..

I'm sure that the sequels (they will have to do more of this :evilgrin: ) are gonna be better looking since they'll surely use more of the 360... You know what I mean ?

Anyway, my friend just died... my turn :evilgrin:

[Peanut]

Of course the 360 isn't being pushed to it's maximum potential yet, but damn, man. This game is pushing the boundries of what developers can do with the system at this point in time.

Anyways, I just quit doing the case missions and instead I've started saving people and killing zombies. I went up 6 levels in about an hour. I would have gone up 10+ but 5 of my possible 8 survivors got killed on the way to the security room. I love the survivor death scenes.

Now that I'm level 20+ the night zombies have become completely ruthless. The entire mall is just packed from front to back with them. I knew I had a problem when I had all 4 of the movie theatre survivors die before I got to the warehouse door, which I'm sure you guys know is about 1 minute from the movie theatre.They were just relentless. I ran out of everything but handguns at that point too, which is useless in a large crowd. I ended up Zombie Riding my way to the door and climbing up the shelves in the warehouse so I wouldn't die.

I'm so damn addicted to this game. Just messing around is so awesome. Doing whatever I want. I was tricking on my skateboard not too long ago! :D

[Spitfire]

Those cult memebers hate me -_- Their freaking hard to kill and there's ALOT of them.

[Kaneda]

I saw the main character skateboarding in the commercial......can you do tricks on it?

[Spitfire]

When you find the book that has the tricks in it. There's also books that teach you how to speak other languages like Japanese. So you can save people from other countries.

[Kaneda]

Wow thats pretty cool.Man I wish I had a 360.I'm gonna get a Wii though.Maybe this game will get remade for the Wii?

[Spitfire]

360 exclusive, maybe 2 will be!

Alright so I've been playing all night and heres what I got

Level 24 saved everyone so far, no deaths.

I beat the chick on the motorcycle and I'm at the fat cop who I can easily beat. The chick on the motorcycle is SO annoying I hate her fight.

And I killed the convicts during the scoop and they came back the next day! Wtf...oh well.

So yeah I'm decently far and I havn't not saved anyone yet. We ended up restarting because my friend didn't have enough time to do one of the missions because he did other stuff first.

[Peanut]

Nice. I've got about 5 hours game time left before the helicopter arrives in mine. Level 27.

I found the cultists to be pretty easy. Their leader was a push over thanks to the gun from the back of the convicts car! :D

[Jo Dawn]

My brother has this, and loves it. I love watching him play, too. I love zombie movies!! So I suppose I'll have to start playing it now, too. ;) :)

My sister is the same. She loves to watch me playing too. She's a bit obsessed actually, she bugs me and bugs me, no matter what I'm doing.

[Kid Icarus]

Pop that on the list of games to get when I finally get a 360.

[ThirdMarioBro]

I'll be picking this up for sure.

[Peanut]

Can I just say that I'm really proud of you two!

[The Clerk]

Can I just say that I'm really proud of you two!


i agree!

*drinks more MIke's HardLemonade!*

[Brodie]

I ended up using my Wii fund to buy the 360 and Dead Rising.

Atleast I'll be working at school to get the Wii fund back up...

[Jo269976]

I really want to get this game but alas, i have no money...or a 360 :( Hopefully there will be a Dead Rising 2 which will be out for PS3 or even a port of this one (even though it is a 360 exclusive, Resident Evil 4 was supposed to be a gamecube exclusive and we all know what happened ;)), i've seen Adam The Crazy Clowns death..... one of the top ten best video game deaths ever! :D

[Peanut]

So you're going to spend all that money on a PS3 instead? lolz

[Jo269976]

So you're going to spend all that money on a PS3 instead? lolz

Well i'm sorta getting it for x-mas, i have a lot of PS2 games and hopefully they will work on it, i would get an x-box 360 but i'm used to the PS :D

[Spitfire]

I've beaten the game a few times now. I just need some of the unlockables and I'll have it all. One of the unloackables I need is obtained though surviving 5 and 7 days in Infinite mode...ohhhh boy...

[Peanut]

I've gone through the 72-hour mode twice and I'm about half way through the 3rd time. I haven't played for a couple days though. I think it's time for me to write up a review.

[Jo269976]

Hopefully this will be a good example of how more zombie games like this need to be made!

Also, I started a petition to bring the supposidly X-Box 360 exclusive game Dead Rising to the PS3, it's every zombie fans dream game and should be ported to other consoles but this specific petition is for a PS3 port, i hope everyone will sign it.

http://www.petitiononline.com/Scissors/petition.html

[Peanut]

No. Firstly, online petitions are stupid and never work. Secondly, I'll never support the piece of trash that is the PS3.

[Jo269976]

I'll never support the piece of trash that is the PS3.
How do you know it will be a piece of crap? Nobody has played it and its a few months away from release date, it may be the best games console in the world, it may be bottom of the list but no-one will know until it's released.

[Peanut]

1) It costs $600 US. Which well end up equaling out to about $900+ dollars CDN, not including all possible taxes, any games, or warranty.
2) There isn't a single launch title that has any worth.
3) Sony has no worth while franchises that I can't find on the 360 and Wii.
4) Their HDMI bullsh*t makes sure that I won't be able to display my games in the best possible quality.

I bolded the biggest reasons.

[Jo269976]

What are the launch titles excatly? I'm not arguing just curious cause i've not heard of any of the titles.

[Peanut]

That's just the point. 3 months away from launch and nothing has been confirmed. The only thing I've ever heard of was that stupid mud racing game and perhaps the new Gran Turismo. Not a very good start.

There's rumored to be around 27 playable PS3 games at TGS next month. They're mostly racing games and shotty crap like Genji though. A couple FPS's but the Playstation controller is just terrible for FPS games.

[The Stryker]

Alright, I just got Dead Rising off of reserve but my 360 is off being repaired (Don't ask)

soooooo...did I spend my money on something good?

[Peanut]

I reviewed it in the "Rate the Game" thread.

[Jo269976]

Ok, I've had it! I'm giving into the temptation... I'm saving up for a 360 and Dead Rising! :lol:

[Spitfire]

Temptation will serve you well bud. I always thought Xbox wasn't for me but this 360 I got is one of the best consoles I ever bothered with.

[The Clerk]

this 360 I got is one of the best consoles I ever bothered with.



well... Duh! :D :P ;)

[Jo269976]

Damn currency! i don't have a lot of money so i'll have to wait untill X-mas when 360's go down on price and every Ebay 360 isn't a link to get a "free one", I hate how my brothers friend got his for £13 :x

Oh well, hopefully there will be a cheap one soon and Dead Rising will be lowered in price :D

[Brodie]

I beat Dead Rising, with the A ending, then Overtime. Im currently trying to get the 53,000 kill count
Eff the infinity mode.

[Toonami Tom]

I started playing the Dead Rising demo a few days ago. This is such a fun game! I am suprised it was able to get by with an "M" rating though. I personally would have rated it "AO." The shotgun and the katana are really cool weapons to use on the zombies.:D

AO is for sexual content not some violence.

[Toonami Tom]

Speaking of that, why do they have the "erotic" points for zombie pantyshots and busts(with the camera)? That's really screwed up. I don't think zombies are sexy.:D
