Let's replay Dead Rising

Yes, you can

Just got Zombie Genocider. Once this 72 hour game is done, I'll have the Mega Buster.

Can you get Zombie Genocider in the survival mode? Is that recommended? I got really close in a story playthrough once, and then ended up needing to finish the story.

[BobFromPikeCreek]

Probably not ideal. It takes about one full in game day of nonstop killing in the maintenance tunnels. You'd have to keep leaving to get food.

How long in actual play time does it take to get those 3-day survivor and 5-day survivor Achievements? I hear to get the latter, you have to pretty much use EVERY bit of food in the entire mall, and be clever about getting the raw pizza and crap together before it rots.

it's 5 and 7 days for the achievement. a day in DR is 2 hours of playtime, so 10 and 14 hours respectively. i plan on trying it someday. a guy i know completed it and said it wasn't that hard. you basically get all 3 food books, get the rest of your inventory full of food and go back to the security room. there you wait til your health's at 1 block, then eat an item. the way he described it you only have to do some surviving for a limited time

i don't think you have to make the most out of the frozen/raw stuff, since there are people who have survived 17 days

Hm... Wow. I'm not sure if I can commit to 10 hours of off-and-on gameplay. That's a full day of tedium, and I bet I'd forget... unless I used a timer. {looks pensive}

Thanks for the corrections!
