It felt a little bit more technical than god of war.  like combos really mattered.

Conan is a great GoW clone.
It felt a little bit more technical than god of war.  like combos really mattered.
Combos and weapon choices all matter. It's a serious tactical brawler, and I'm having a real love/hate relationship with it. Mostly love.

There are some sequences that are, well, hard on the Hard difficulty: I just finished the dragon sequence. 6 stage boss battle? Holy mackerel. And it's a well-designed boss except it's virtually impossible to differentiate between its normal multiple-hit strike and the unblockable. Or it may be that environmental hazards cause continuous blocking to fail. All I know is sometimes I blocked every single attack, and other times Conan took an assful of giant serpent even though I was blocking and suddenly the block was broken by its attack.

Mostly very good stuff, and it seems like Nihillistic S/W was in love with the source material.

Ah, I'm glad for this Conan love in. I bought it for 15 bucks and never regretted it. Still have a few more achievements left in it though.
What's not to love? The game has topless maidens in it as collectibles.

This thread inspired me to try and finally beat the game and my last save was on November 22 2006, so this was the first time I played the game on a HDTV.

...wow.

I had the same reaction on my just-finished replay for the Mega Buster/Zombie Genocider. I played on an SDTV and couldn't read anything. Now I'm all :boggle

just got the Saint achievement!  :D

only need Frank the Pimp and 7 day survivor now (well, I need Tour Guide and 5 day survivor also but those are pack-in deals)

Interestingly, I unlocked the Jason mask at the end of my Saint playthrough? I guess it just checks for what cheevos you have unlocked when you get an ending, it doesnt matter what playthrough you got them.

so youre going to try Saint again? Do it man, prove youve got the chops!

Here are a few things that might help:
-I used the guide iconoclast posted, but there are quite a few errors in regards to Otis call/scoop times. This guide here:http://www.gamefaqs.com/xbox360/928326-dead-rising/faqs/44422 is 100% correct, and serves as a good checklist for the Transmissionary cheev. I used the guides in conjunction with each other.

- If a scoop doesnt call in at the said time, chances are you have a group of survivors with you (or some to rescue), as there can only be a total of 8 in the mall at any one time. For example: Above the Law didnt call in at Noon on 20th, becuase that scoop has 4 survivors and I already had a few with me. I thought I was FUBAR'ed, but I took my current group back to the security room, then upon returning to the Warehouse Otis called with the scoop at 1.20pm. Im not sure how long you have until they cut off for good, though.

-Also the guide that icono posted assumes you are superman in terms of speed, so you will have to use a bit of initiative sometimes and juggle the objectives accordingly, depeding on where you are in the mall. There were times when the FAQ said to take survivors back to the security room, and go back and get someone else. Chances are you can often pick up more survivors on the way and save time on backtracking.

Lastly, good luck! Save when youre doing well, but not too often so you dont save yourslef into a hole. If youve wasted a bit of time due to the distinguished mentally-challenged AI (happens a lot), reload your save, so you can optimise your time. Its a tough cheev, but totally do-able, and really stisfying.

I'm about to finish Zombie Genocider (all I'm focusing on in my first playthrough).  IIRC, you have to be where the top of the elevator to the warehouse is at the 72 hour mark to get your mega buster right?

yeah, I finally got it.  I think I'll go fort the transmissionary now and some photography ones.  doing saint at the same time sounds too hard.  Transmissionary alone would get you Ending A and unlock Overtime Mode right?

alright biches

I got 960/1000 now. "only" need 5 and 7 day survivor cheevs for my 1000. Apparently these arent hard at all if you have the mega buster, but I need to commit to an entire saturday to get them.... hmm.

Iconoclast, could you fill me in on how you prepared for this run? i.e what FAQ is best? There are a lot of resources on the web about infinity mode.

I just used this tool and went for it, didn't bother reading any FAQs. http://hoddans.com/tool/drsurvival/

Just kill most/all the psycopaths and survivors when they spawn, because they will drop food for you. Once the sniper family spawns in the park, go grab the car in front of the underground area and run them all over. They drop TONS of food you can live off of for a long time. Beyond that, everything else is pretty straight forward; someone spawns, kill them, grab their food and find a safe area to camp for a while. And of course, make sure you grab the three survival books before you eat anything.

Keep in mind that there's a glitch that will crash your game if you enter the food court between certain hours on day 3 or 4. Can't remember exactly when, but that tool has a warning for it when it's approaching.

I should note that my opinion hasn't changed since the OP.  The gameplay videos look dreadfully lifeless and boring and nothing like what made DR1 awesome.

I have zero faith that this will be a better Capcom outsource than Dark Void (which as much as I've tried to enjoy, is shit)

what is the deal with that prequel game? it seems like a short XBLA game only on the 360.  I'm thinking I might buy that, and depending on how that turns out, get DR2.

That's pretty much the deal...

ok then

I was confused that it might just be DLC for DR2

Meh. Chuck looks like he fell out of MX vs ATV Unleashed or something. Yawn.

Frank was interesting.

I'm not completely down on the game though, I'm going to buy Case Zero and go from there. But I'm not really looking forward to it.

Agree that Chuck looks boring.

Try to look constipated even more, faggo.

I'm not jazzed about the game either. I'm purely interested based on the fact it's Dead Rising. My interest in the game will rise when I get impressions from people who liked Dead Rising for the same reason I liked it: tight mission design and emphasis on planning and structure and survival, more so than another boring 3d beat-em-up. The people want a beat-em-up though, they're easy to spot and just as to easy to ignore.

I feel the same way about that I do about Crackdown 2.  I want it because I liked the first game, but everything I see just makes it look exactly like the first game.  Like both games were surprise hits and they didn't know how to go from there.  I would feel the same way of Demon's Souls 2 was announced and it was just more of the first game.  It's not that I don't want them, it's just hard to get that excited for something that looks similar to the games I have at home.  I'll end up buying both and liking them, probably.

actually, what the new Red Faction game is doing is cool to be more than more RFG.

aside from chuck not being half as awesome as frank everything else i've seen of the game looks great. what i need to know now is how the mission structure is going to be (hopefully you can fail by taking too long just like the first).

regardless if they get it all right i will probably still buy simply because of zombie co-op killing.

:bow co-op :bow2

edit: just watched the stage demo on the last page and it's so good to know that the 72hr time limit is still in.

Dead Rising: Case Zero is going to set you back 400 Microsoft Points on Aug. 31, 2010. On top of that, Dead Rising Executive Producer Keihi Inafune announced that the experience points and costumes you earn in Case Zero will carry over to Dead Rising 2.

As to the low price, Inafune says they could've sold the game for 800 Microsoft Points but decided against it so that everyone could get their hands on the title. He says the company is making zero dollars off the game.
