DR2 Case Zero

[drew]

and the game looks just as annoying as the first game. def passing on this one.

bitches leave

[MyNameIsMethodis]

that taco inbred killed me and the last time I had saved was 2 hours prior, fuck this game 1/10

[iconoclast]

People who suck at games saying a hard game is shit.

Big surprise!

What does Ninja Gaiden 2 have to do with this thread

[Himu]

Lol. G4TV's review's cons list:

The Cons

    * Unforgiving time limit discourages exploration
    * Requires multiple playthroughs to discover and complete all objectives
    * Lack of autosave prior to major events can be frustrating

THESE ARE PROS, DUMMIES.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

DEAD RISING 2

lol same reaction

People who suck at games saying a hard game is shit.

Big surprise!

people who can't succeed at real mens games think running around aimlessly is a fun game and think zombies are actually interesting enemies

BIG SURPRISE

[iconoclast]

You're not supposed to be running around aimlessly... talk to the hillbilly on top of the building and he'll point you to new survivors to rescue.

PS. Do Gemini's quest ASAP.

[drew]

i love the new graphic design steez

[cool breeze]

This game is awesome but I'm surprised by how rough it is.  Dead Rising 1 came out around four years ago and I don't remember it being this choppy.

Is there a drink mix and weapon creation tool yet? I remember hearing in an old E3 demo that flashlight plus something makes a lightsaber.

loading times are also crazy.  People were saying it was because the guy in the video was skipping cutscenes.  Just going to the roof feels like a minute.

[The Sceneman]

lol, fistful and methodis have pooped their baby diapers, just as god intended.

So this is out?! I thought it wasn't coming out for another 20 hours or so?

Lol at the G4TV "cons". That's probably the first time I've seen replayabilty listed as a con!

Cant wait to get home

[Akala]

downroading!

[Bebpo]

Hmmmmmmmmmm

It's not bad, but I'm not loving it either.  The framerate is freaking low when there's a lot of zombies around, the loading is kinda hmmmm, and you move so slooooow at first.  Also too much cutscenes at the start when you just want to get zombie killing.

But beating up zombies with stuff is fun.  And there's lots of stuff to beat them up with.  And even in the Case Zero there's a lot of little places to explore.  Graphics are pretty decent besides the framerate.  I like that they still kept the time urgency of the game and the bathroom saving.

Still on the fence about the lead guy though.  He's so boring compared to "I've covered wars" Frank West.  And no photography is sucky.


Actually thinking about picking this up now.  Might Day 1 it on PC because 60fps >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the framerate in Case Zero.  Hope it's a smooth running port.  Is the PC version going to be GFWL so you get achievements?  Achievements were half the fun in Dead Rising.

[The Sceneman]

cry moar, just go and play a weeaboo srpg if you dont like it

[G The Resurrected]

I've played through Case Zero now twice and it's a lot of fun. As someone who played through Dead Rising and never came back due to the horrible saving, I was happy to see it asking if I wanted to save after certain events but not all!

I was on the fence and didn't want to pay full retail for the game but if its like Case Zero It'll be a must buy for me. I love the electric rake and the chainsaw paddle's.

[Bebpo]

oh cool, it is GFWL.  PC version w/X360 achievements get.

[demi]

Is it GFWL? Sweet will get two 1000s for this game

[Bebpo]

steam page says it requires GFWL

[iconoclast]

Just beat this. Pretty good game aside from all the technical problems. Awful framerate (so bad it was starting to give me a headache), texture pop-in, clipping, etc. Clearly, this is no Framework game. But still, I really liked it. Looks like DR2 will be a worthy successor, so I'll be there day one. Just hope it runs a lot better than this.

Also, the credits were kinda interesting. It looks like Capcom has their own small set of producers and game designers working on the game, so that is very reassuring.

[demi]

It's not running on Framework... never wuz.

[iconoclast]

I know. I wish it was though, because that's pretty much the best engine this generation. Capcom has to learn to share.

Oh, and is it just me or do zombies not grab the survivors any more? Whenever I was escorting someone, not once did they get grabbed by a zombie. I just ran to the safe room and they were always right behind me. Protecting the survivors was part of the fun in the original, so I'm not sure how I feel about that.

[The Sceneman]

One of the main criticisms of the first game was how frustrating a lot of people found the escorting to be, I guess they made it a bit more forgiving

[BobFromPikeCreek]

Are the zombies less aggressive to survivors, or do survivors just avoid them better? Because as much as I loved DR 1, the survivors made some dumb fucking choices. Like diving head first into giant zombie pits instead of following me.

[iconoclast]

The zombies are still aggressive toward the survivors, but it seems like they can fight them off better. I even ran through a whole crowd of zombies with multiple survivors behind me and no one ever got grabbed or anything. Might just be a fluke though; going to play through it one or two more times at least to get the rest of these achievements.

I like that the AI has better pathfinding and it seems like they can protect themselves better, but on the flip side of the coin it seems like the zombies don't pose much of a threat to them, and that's no fun.

[iconoclast]

Just got 200/200 on this.

FYI, the zombies can grab the survivors still, it just almost never happens. One of the survivors was stuck in a crowd of zombies before I got to him, but after he joined my party, I pressed Y a few times, ran off, and he came running over to me in no time. Doesn't seem like protecting the survivors is going to be a big deal, which is kinda lame.

Game is still pretty awesome anyway. Wish I pre-ordered it from newegg the other day when it was $48.

[BobFromPikeCreek]

Oh man I'm raging here. The stupid japanese delay must apply to Korea too. Can't download.

[dark1x]

Man, the graphics engine is so bad.  MT Framework was way ahead even back in 2006 (and now it's not even close).

It's missing all of the standard visual effects you get with an MT Framework game while failing to deliver reasonable performance.  It's just bad.

The PC version might save the game, but I'm not even convinced these guys are going to be able to deliver a competent PC port.

[AdmiralViscen]

He's right. This game is uglier than the last one. Maybe the on-disc one will be better.

[cool breeze]

I don't mind how the game looks.  My issue is just how choppy it gets.  I remember one thing they were talking up was more zombies on screen so that could be slowing it down.  Not like there weren't a bunch of zombies in the first game.

[AdmiralViscen]

Why is the strong attack so fucking easy to trigger? I just want to swing my way through a crowd, I don't need to snap into the same cinematic kill every 2 seconds.

Blame the slanty gremlins for not sharing. Though this looks above MT Framework. Sorry it doesnt have that silly visual blur effect.

[Robo]

Just got 200/200 on this.

How many playthroughs?

[demi]

It only takes between 2-3 good runs to get 200. The achievements aren't hard. You'll be replaying anyway to hit Level 5 for Chuck

[iconoclast]

Yeah, I did it in 2 runs and started another one to quickly get 1000 kills. You can do it in 2 runs though, I didn't look at a guide or anything for my first playthrough.

You could probably get all 12 achievements in one run actually, but you'd have to know where everything is and really haul ass.

[drew]

just got some tramadol, now i can really kick back and zone out on this, like god intended

spoiler (click to show/hide)

i played dead rising when i was home for a week from surgery konked out on vicodin, it was one of the greatest gaming experiences of my life

[close]

[fistfulofmetal]

i had points left over to i bought this. dunno why really. i got until a part where i had to rescue some person and i was clearing the way and she wandered into a pack of zombies and i was trying to attack them and she got hit and defected. so i was like whatevs and started killing them to get away and she then came up behind me and pushed me which..killed me? so now i started over.

Very

[demi]

how many cards are there?

You get a card for each item you make. I'm not sure if constantly making them upgrades from a Scratch to a Combo

[demi]

9 or 10 in the game I believe

- Beer Hat
- Horn
- Boomstick
- Molotov
- Electric Rake
- Drill Bucket
- Nailbat
- Paddlesaw
- IED

[drew]

Very

can I restart but still hold on to my pp, or am I fucked?

[Himu]

AUGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH PUT IT ON PS3 YOU ASS FUCKS

[iconoclast]

Very

can I restart but still hold on to my pp, or am I fucked?

Just wait for it to end and you can restart the story with whatever level you are. Just like the first game.

You might not even need to wait for it to end actually; on the screen where you select which file you want to load, I think you can press X to restart the story. Not sure if you need to beat it first or anything though.

or you can kill yourself, that works too. This is Dead Rising remember, designed to be played a few times. Finished this last night, it was AWESOME. Just need to mop up the last couple of achievements now. I unlocked all the doors without using a guide

[The Sceneman]

AUGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH PUT IT ON PS3 YOU ASS FUCKS

You only have yourself to blame, you know.

[The Sceneman]

But yeah this was such a good idea. A bite sized taster of the pure awesome that is to come. Cannot wait for October 1st Incidentally, it's the day of my 25th birthday   gettin' ooooooold

[The Sceneman]

By the way, Could Frank West climb as good as Chuck Greene? I can't remember.

yeah pretty much, you could jump around and climb awnings and stuff in DR1

[The Sceneman]

how many cards are there?

yeah from what I can tell making a weapon upgrades the cards... I had a Drill Bucket scratch card and made one on a bench. I then had the combo card, and now earn 500PP for kill as opposed to 250.

[Saint Cornelius]

Oh I am so happy to be playing Dead Rising once again

[The Sceneman]

I experienced WAVES AND WAVES of pleasure!

Gameplay is second to none. Graphics are a little rough by today's standards but who cares!

[Saint Cornelius]

The game freezing on me makes me a little less happy though.

[iconoclast]

I read that if you complete a marketplace download while playing it will crash the game. This game is very rough technically; hopefully this won't be an issue when the full game is released.

[The Sceneman]

I'm willing to bet that the final product will have a lot more polish, as it's been in development for so long.

At least I'm hoping thats the case. I can live with the framerate but it should really be a bit smoother, like the first game.

Oh, and ban Himuro

[demi]

as it's been in development for so long.

[The Sceneman]

you laughing at the grammar? Ok, "as the game has been in development for so long". Better?

I'm not sure what you are lol'ing at.

[demi]

I am laughing that you think a game will be polished based on time in the oven

[Robo]

I read that if you complete a marketplace download while playing it will crash the game.

I can personally confirm this.  It reset back to the game's main menu when my Vanquish demo finished.

[chronovore]

FFFUUU... The Japanese delay is even blocking my US account BY LOCATION. I can't buy this right now, thanks to a blanket IP lockout because Capcom doesn't want their island nation to experience the game in English. Or something. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...

[demi]

Finishing Mafia 2 first

[G The Resurrected]

Finishing Mafia 2 first

You getting old man!

The misses beat you at both mafia 2 and case zero. Your usually on top of this shit.
