DEAD RISING

[Himu]

This game is tough! I love it! Best survival horror game of the ever! I actually feel as if I'm trying to survive! 

Please give tips! The guys in the army jeep are fucking tough, escorting folks is annoying ("BYE BABY!! NO!!"), and that goddamn clown is a bastard!

Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter forever!

[Vizzys]

I just ran like a bitch from the guys in that jeep when i first saw them

[demi]

Wow Himuro, sounds like you sure are enjoying next-gen. Next-Gen is home to some of the best games ever.

[Himu]

demi looking at DR's achievements list makes me appreciate your awesome even more

[Smooth Groove]

Give some guns to the people you're protecting.  They get unlimited ammo.  Wait for the guys in the jeep to hit an obstacle, then blast them with a shot gun.  Kill the guy operating the turret first so they can't shoot you anymore.  

[MCD]

400 points - demi.

[brawndolicious]

In the beginning you can't do shit to the guys in the jeep.

Bzzt, wrong

Get the Uzi and Katana and some OJ

[brawndolicious]

I was not leet enough to jump like that.  I'm about to start the game again soon since I only finished a couple hours.  I'll try that.

[Himu]

Got me a couple bottles of wine, the katana, and the submachine gun. LET'S ROCK.

once you kill the clown, you can go back to the spot where he 1st appears for his chainsaw.  it just keeps respawning.

Mother fuckers are DEAD.

There's nothing like driving a jeep with a dead negro hanging out the back!

[Himu]

This is the best 360 game i have played

VANDALISM

[tiesto]

I still haven't played this game very much, only like ran around and killed zombies for a bit... I really should, especially now that I'm done with BOF:DQ. I just remember there's a katana on the second floor of the mall, go to the coffee shop, and jump out of the window onto the awning, that'll help at the beginning stages quite a bit (especially against the first boss).

[Himu]

jesus christ the AI in this is awful. WHEN I SAY FOLLOW ME FOLLOW ME NOT FIGHT A ZOMBIE ARGH

[GilloD]

The secret to Dead Rising is to get all of the books that make the weapons last longer. They stack, so a weapon will last like 9 times as long. That makes those Clown Chainsaws indispensable.

[Smooth Groove]

Yeah, the escort gets annoying after awhile.  It gets even worse when you have to carry one of them while trying to escort several others.  One thing you can do is just move on to the next area when they're close enough to the door.  Even the ones that are being held by zombies will move on if they're close enough.  Also, bring extra food items to replenish their healths and try to give them shotguns since their aims are pretty crappy. 

[Himu]

who's idea was it to have these jeep guys respawn

[The Sceneman]

probably the next 360 game I buy. Probably pick it up with CoD4 to play over live, but I'll naturally be lttp then and none of youse will be playing it no more  :'(

[Himu]

i'm starting to think it's not worth it getting these escorts

[Smooth Groove]

I read in an interview that not even the devs can get 100% on the escort missions.

Drop Lost Planet - the game's just not worth it.  Dead Rising however is all kinds of awesome.  I especially love the story/game twist they throw at you.  Dead Rising went from mearly being a good game to a brilliant one after that.

[demi]

i'm starting to think it's not worth it getting these escorts

The game is like BOF: Dragon Quarter - think about it

You can not do anything so weak... wait until Level 50

I just finished lp, it was awesome.

dead rising is something you have to stick with because of the learning curve imo.

[Smooth Groove]

It was in EGM.  They asked the dev if 100% on escorts is possible and he said probably not.

Okay. So you suggest dong all the escort missions I can, and just do the story for now, and do all the scoops later? Sounds good to me.

You get an ending too even if you fail some missions.  It's actually pretty cool. 

[Rman]

Still my favorite X360 game.  I still have to go back and get the rest of the achievements sans the Saint achievement.

[The Sceneman]

didnt Dead Rising get mixed reviews?

[The Sceneman]

This is the best 360 game i have played

high praise considering how much you love BD  Im looking forward to playing this

[brawndolicious]

didnt Dead Rising get mixed reviews?

there's a demo if you want to see what the combat's like.

[Himu]

I'm on day 3, I've 3 more cases left, and I'm tying up loose ends. I should be able to "beat" it tomorrow, but I'm going to immediately replay it and keep leveling up. Gotta get to max level! Also, I've gotta get at least MOST of the achievements. A lot of them are fun!

Recent adventures in Dead Rising:

I found an underground parking lot, stole a sports car, and I racked up about 2,000 zombie kills in 10 minutes. It. Was. Awesome.

I also found the maintenance key, so now I can travel faster. That's good!

I got caught by the cultists on accident. I thought they were going to kill me, but they kidnapped me. I woke up in some random janitor closet in the mall in nothing but my underwear (wtf did they do to Frank??), I murdered them all! 

[The Sceneman]

 

game sounds amazing! lol at the cultist thing. If the game has ultra corny VA then it wins instantly. Im picking it up this weekend

No achievement for you, can't get caught by them

Haha. No shit? I'll do it all over again when I replay. I haven't been following the achievements list that closely.

Did you pick up the clown saw that I told you about?  It makes a huge difference in boss fights. 

[Himu]

Nope. I missed on that boss fight.

Okay, I'm almost done with Dead Rising's 72 hour mode. I'm on this mission that is extremely tough.

That hispanic guy chases after me in a car.

[close]

I have my own car of course, but it tends to get to become undrivable easy. Haha, I'm stuck.

[Himu]

I got it. 2 more cases!!!

[hyp]

dead rising game of eternity

[Himu]

BEAT THE GAME.

Best 360 game so far, and also THE BEST SURVIVAL HORROR GAME OF THE EVER

the ending

spoiler (click to show/hide)

What a bunch of twists! Didn't expect them to send in soldiers. Damn those guys were tough!

Also, I loved how it threw you for a loop. You thought the copter wasn't going to come, but in the end it did, and the pilot GOT BIT. This game really had some nice twists

[close]

I ended up with 1,134,791 pp at the end of it.

[Smooth Groove]

I haven't played DR in awhile but it sounds like you didn't fulfil the requirements for the extra level and best ending. 

[Himu]

What the fuck? There's still story?

Isabella saved me

[bluemax]

jesus christ the AI in this is awful. WHEN I SAY FOLLOW ME FOLLOW ME NOT FIGHT A ZOMBIE ARGH

Don't use the follow command. Set way points, they work so much better.

Get the mini chainsaws and the books that make them last forever. I never bothered with any other non ranged weapons after that.

[brawndolicious]

I just started this up.  did the helicopter fly-by in the beginning and then saved in the office couch.  when I went down the tunnel in the security room and opened the door, I got a disk read error and decided fuck it it's late.  about what level would 1,000,000 pp get you to?

[Himu]

I HATE these special forces cunts! 

[GilloD]

I skipped almost every single escort. That said, it's worth going back through to see some of the more interesting ones:

spoiler (click to show/hide)

The one where there's a guy and his wife and he's hurt and she's all "Save us!" and he's like "Baby, no, go on ahead". If you give her the gun, they limp together. If you give him the gun he BLOWS HIS HEAD OFF

[close]

Also, supermarket battle is one of the best battles ever. That dude is real scary.

The Supermarket battle was easy the first time I did it. I stood behind a register and just shot at him until he died. I don't think i got hurt at all.

[drew]

Still to this day I've never finished the overtime mode.  Is it worth going back to just for that part?

[The Sceneman]

Just brought a copy a copy of this home

[Himu]

what is overtime mode

[brawndolicious]

isn't that the mode where you go past 3 days (if you get to the chopper in time) and you basically keep leveling up?  I don't know if it means you start over in the beginning of the game or if you're going to stay around and pick up survivors.

[Saint Cornelius]

"Overtime mode" is when you gotta get a whole bunch of supplies and queens and bring them to Isabella so she can make an antidote for you. After you beat that, you unlock "Infinity mode", which is some serious survival action.

[Himu]

Okay, I'm in overtime mode now.

[Robo]

I've had Dead Rising for a while now and whenever I play it I usually die pretty early on, but a good amount of time after a save point.  What I've done in the past is start over to preserve my level, which has resulted in me getting absolutely nowhere. 

With the intent of beating it as fast as possible next time I play, when I die should I: a) start completely over once again and do so until I'm powerful enough to just muscle through the game at a rapid pace without fear of death, or b) start from a save point several hours behind current progress and just gruel through it as efficiently as possible until I eventually reach another save point?  Tell me how to play this silly game.
