Who cares about n64 mist? At least there's not military shooting at you all over the place while you try to score items.

But yeah the quest in DR2 makes no sense.

I beat the game, final boss was dumb.

Sullivan should have been the final boss not TK. TK should have been the ending to the main game, Sulivan the final boss. Oh well.

Eh, I'm with iconoclast. Sweet ass game but I'd rather replay up to the mist over and over then the mist -> end.

Post-mist:

-no psychos to fight outside story bosses left
-no survivors to save besides the two military losers
-game looks ugly
-can't take your time and fuck around having fun because gas guys are always in your face

I don't think the game is "bad" after the mist. But once that part hits I just want to rush through the remaining plot and finish it to start fresh in the fun part of the game again.

Cindi Mayweather · « **Reply #422 on:** October 13, 2010, 10:54:01 PM »

Why are no psychos to fight a bad thing? You act like the boss fights are a good thing in this game? I liked only one boss fight in terms of gameplay, Virgin Boy.

There's so little of the game left once the mist appears that I don't even see why it's an issue.

Bebpo · « **Reply #423 on:** October 13, 2010, 10:55:07 PM »

In both DR games they are a fun distraction between saving survivors and fucking around. I think their intro cutscenes can be a bit long, but that's why you skip them in replays and they are fun.

Cindi Mayweather · « **Reply #424 on:** October 13, 2010, 10:56:56 PM »

I'm talking about in terms of design. I thought they all sucked and were bad boss fights. Usually they were stand there and wail on the dude and they rarely displayed interesting patterns. The system just isn't made for one on one fights, so it amazes the frequency of boss fights in DR2. I thought DR1 had better boss fights (grocery store owner, the hunter). That isn't to say that the boss fights weren't mostly shit in DR1 either, but I thought the better boss fights made were great about using the environment to the max rather than hacking and slashing away.

Not to mention that the black survivors were ghetto people with ghetto names.

Oh, man. I'm having trouble with a particular stage of Psychos.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

Amber and Crystal are kicking my ass. Surprisingly, it isn't satisfying or enjoyable to be dominated by twins. :fapfail

[close]

The only time I get close to finishing is with Pain Killer juice. That will half the damage taken for a full minute, which seems like a sure bet for any Psycho battling. So I need to school myself on the fine art of blending! But I don't have much time on the clock before this particular fight starts.

It looks like I need to ditch most of my inventory, belt out some Quickstep juices, use one to haul ass to the mission start point, and have another couple for the fight.

Oh, and I finally got the shortcut; it's a bit dubious that a young lady knows a shortcut that leads to the Men's Restroom. I suspect some gloryhole action in her past. If I restart, I'll bet that it goes away and I'll have to reinitiate it. Anyone know for sure?

iconoclast · « **Reply #434 on:** October 14, 2010, 05:29:16 AM »

You'll probably lose the shortcut if you restart, until you rescue her again. I haven't done a second run yet though so I'm not completely sure.

As for that psycho battle, there's an area along the side that is loaded with cocktails and beer and whatnot. What I did was just stay there, damage them when they ran toward me, then drank some beer when they left. There was puke all over the place by the time I beat them, but it got the job done.

T'anks, Mojo. I will hit you up if I see you online.

Iconoclast, the problem with alky-hol is that it doesn't even add health if you're already puking. At least, that's what happened to me.

I'm going to start from a slightly earlier save point, see if I can't make up the time problem and use it to mix some juicy juices.

Wine+Wine = puking
(Wine+Wine) * Blender = Quickstep.

chronovore · « **Reply #443 on:** October 14, 2010, 06:47:06 PM »

I got up a little earlier than the rest of the fam, gave it another shot and made it through that Psycho encounter. With Quickstep, it's a lot easier. Unfortunately, the blender in the Food Court is surrounded by crap, and it seems very difficult to get Chuck to align with it. I wasted a LOT of time trying to get stuff IN the blender and fighting off the incoming zombie crowd. $:-\$

Then I found the Yucatan has its own bar, loaded with beer everywhere. EVERYWHERE. 2 beers in a blender is a Quickstep, so I'm going to try it again soon. Also figured out a better route, using the shortcut.

Just hanging out on EB, waiting for my family to head out for school and work. Any luck, I'll be on again in an hour.

Thanks for trying to step up, Mojovo-vo-vonio. Too bad we couldn't get you into my session. Next time we might try getting me into yours. I've successfully hosted Sho Nuff, and you've co-op played DR2 before, so there has to be some kind of solution.

The beer and wine in the Yucatan bar, with it's unobstructed blender, provided a mess of health to take into that boss fight. WOOOOOT. I was running around like a speed freak on Quicksteps. Would have enjoyed a Pain Killer, but Quickstep actually made it possible to just run and evade incoming attacks. The boss logic worked to its disadvantage, because it kept pursuing my rapidly retreating ass while I unloaded a shotgun into it. Pretty satisfying, and I had enough time to save the Survivor this way.

This game rocks.

I can't tell which is more boring. DR1 Genocider or DR2. I guess DR1 since you're in the same tunnels.

I spent a couple years dreading that 'cheev. Going through the zombies manually in the park and mall, I never seemed to kill that many. It seemed impossible. I convinced myself I didn't want it, and then finally someone here started a DR1 run; maybe they posted a link to the guide for that 'cheev or something, but I decided to give it a shot.

It's not so much boring as numbing, and immersion-destroying. After a couple of initial accidents, I was able to drive the guide's course by rote, and gauge my car's state when I'd been hitting too many gas-tank-pushing zombies. But the massive amount of experience for killing the zombies means it's actually the first thing newbie players should do if they want to level up completely before doing any missions. It breaks the game.

In DR2, it seems like the way to do it is the same: get a car, kill as many as you can in an area, force an area reload to respawn the car, lather, rinse, repeat... but there aren't any cars available, are there? The SUV and the convertible are both locked.

chronovore · « **Reply #455 on:** October 17, 2010, 07:32:35 PM »

Yeah, but you don't have 2M at the beginning of the game, that's all I'm saying. There doesn't seem to be a game-breaking method in DR2.

I know some people intentionally play a game with weaker weapons, or without using a spell that makes things too powerful, but if there's a legitimate hole in the design that can be used to my advantage, I'm hard-pressed not to use it, even if it makes the experience less compelling.

demi · « **Reply #456 on:** October 17, 2010, 07:33:05 PM »

It's not hard to get 2M at the beginning of the game. When you buy the key, you keep it. So just restart the story.

By beginning of the game, I mean when the player is new to it, their Frank/Chuck is Level 1. I don't know of a way to start with $2M and get the key, unless you're talking about TIR (which you hate) or having a co-op partner join, gift cash, quit, repeat, ad nauseum. I just mean that Frank can start, ignore the missions, do the Genocider two-step, and the player can max out levels, inventory, moves, etc. without ever USING them, then restart the story --with the Real Mega Buster, no less-- and play the game as a completely overpowered Frank and never experience the slow growth of the character over multiple replays, which is the point of the much-maligned Save system.

In DR2, there's no way for a first-time Chuck to do that, and it's a good thing.

Are you saying there's an easy way to start with $2M?

Nit-picking my current favorite game: My least favorite Survivor so far: hot blonde in lingerie in the hotel lobby, hiding in the foliage near the elevators.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

"I'm almost naked! Please get naked too, so I can not feel so alone!" OK, this would be pretty hot in real life, or even if I was just having a good dream... but... OK, where is the "Remove Clothes" control? Start Menu>Stats>... Where do I... wait, huh?

Her: "You're going to need to traipse over to the men's store, so there is underwear to change into."

Me: "OH, FFS. I'm in clothes, why can't I just remove them? I've got this OTHER Survivor already with me who is unwilling to hold a gun or accept healing items, and you want me to drag him somewhere else?"

And the blonde is no time on her mission initiate clock. God damnit.

Me: "OK, let's go!"
Her: "What are you waiting for?"
Me: "Yeah, that's what I'm asking you!"
Her: "What are you waiting for?"
Me: "Yeah, great, let's go!"

*runs to nearest exit*

Me: "Where the hell is the blonde?" At this point, while the Survivors don't respond, I picture this as an uncomfortable silence. They're looking at each other, at the floor, at the approaching zombies, anywhere but at me. "She joined, right? She's with us? Why is her icon still back at the elevators?"

*runs back to the elevators*

Her: "Can you carry me? The floor is cold."

I had to re-do the mission "One Hit Wonder" three times, total. I don't know what is with the mission arrow, but it had me wander out into the Platinum Strip instead of moving from Slot Ranch into the initial mall area; there's an open archway linking them, saves time and distance -- the 2nd attempt I made, one of four Survivors, Juan, was apparently playing "Lucky Pierre" to a train of vomiting zombies. I actually made it all the way back to the entrance to the Security Room, and two vomiters were there, so I started throwing punches to get them gone while the Survivors moved ahead... ONLY TO HAVE JUAN DIE FROM A PUNCH. Jesus.

How can I know if I've got enough survivors for the 50-survivor 'cheev? How can I know if I'm missing someone?

I guess I mean more along the lines of "how can I know if I've missed someone critical already?" -- There are a limited number of survivors available at any given time in the game, and I think I've already missed the Psycho with Snowflake. If he was holding any hostages, I've missed them.
