I hate you right now, Peanut.

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

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

tell me how good it is.

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 · 08-09-2006, 10:11 PM

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* · 08-09-2006, 10:18 PM

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 · 08-09-2006, 10:25 PM

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* · 08-09-2006, 10:41 PM

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 · 08-09-2006, 10:44 PM

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* · 08-09-2006, 10:46 PM

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 · 08-09-2006, 10:51 PM

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* · 08-09-2006, 11:01 PM

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 · 08-09-2006, 11:10 PM

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* · 08-09-2006, 11:15 PM

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 · 08-09-2006, 11:22 PM

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 · 08-09-2006, 11:24 PM

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 · 08-09-2006, 11:26 PM

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 · 08-09-2006, 11:28 PM

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

Peanut · 08-09-2006, 11:30 PM

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.

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 · 08-09-2006, 11:40 PM

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

) 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
