Title: Dead Rising is the most excellent, but infuriating title of all-time
Post by: The Fake Shemp on August 30, 2007, 05:39:48 PM: So fun, but - man! - does it require a lot of passes, the save system is evil and I want to eject Otis and his walkie-talkie into the sun!

Post by: Howard Alan Treesong on August 30, 2007, 05:42:00 PM: the save system is awesome! it's people like you who didn't buy Dragon Quarter

Title: Re: Dead Rising is the most excellent, but infuriating title of all-time
Post by: The Fake Shemp on August 30, 2007, 06:02:35 PM: The save system blows - there are no save spots other than Security Room that's secure, and to get there requires strength and hard luck! And what the hell is Dragon Quarter?

Post by: The Fake Shemp on August 30, 2007, 06:04:38 PM: Yeah, but none of them are secure!

Post by: Howard Alan Treesong on August 30, 2007, 06:07:21 PM: Dragon Quarter is only the best RPG on PS2, I guess you wouldn't like it cause it's hard!

re: "secure," Willco is afraid the zombies are going to wander in and del-eat-e his save game when he's not playing.

I'm only like 12 hours in to P3, but it seems possible. P3 has that same mix of "minimalist, yet fun" story/scenario x hard-as-balls battles.

Soundtrack comparisons aren't really fair, though: Sakimoto's best vs. shitty house loops.

You were never going to play it anyway, so I figured I might as well have some fun!

IMO, yes--I think he stretches himself a bit further on DQ, though it's still recognizably his style. VS is pretty darn good and atmospheric, but like half the tracks are just subterranean clanking.

Post by: Saint Cornelius on August 30, 2007, 06:23:08 PM: One of the best 1P games I've played in some time. Willco, get the small chainsaws off the clown, then get the Enginnering, Entertainment & Criminal Biography books and you'll be able to carry the thing for hours.

It is without a doubt the best weapon in the game. It cuts through zombies like butta! It also cuts through the people you're trying to save, so be careful.
