DEAD RISING 2 - no BS !OT! of no Bebpos and Rabans

[Himu]

what's the defiler

[Himu]

fireaxe?

[Robo]

Defiler is pretty awesome.  I almost always have one of those and a nail bat, since they're both easy to put together upon leaving the safe house, wreck shit and last a long time.

[iconoclast]

As soon as you leave the safe house, the food stand right in front of you has at least three coffee creamers, which are just as good as orange juice IIRC. I always had that, the Knife Gloves, a Defiler (rarely used it though), and the Spiked Bat. Didn't use too many other weapons more than once or twice.

[Lone]

Yeah, the Coffee Creamer surprised me with it's value.

Gotta see if I can make a Defiler or electric rake, those 2 bosses Sceneman mentioned...blargh

[FatalT]

I had a random guy named Neo1411 or something join my game and we co-op through until almost Case 6. I'm pretty sure he's like level 50 because he raped everything and every psychopath. Good times. I'm level 36 and just unlocked the 3rd (last) speed boost so I'm pretty excited about being able to run mega fast.

[Robo]

Man, the beer helmet really sucks.  Chuck is such a two beer queer; dude is barfing all over the place after a couple sips.

theres a maintenance room next to a save point in the very centre of fortune park. A rake is just outside it and a battery is inside. Very close to the boss.

Also a fire axe is in the safehouse, and a sledgehammer is in the corridor exiting the safehouse to Royal Flush. Easy defiler everytime.

im still on level 6, maybe you should work more like me, having extra money is nice

[Himu]

ahahahahaha

the mailman and slappy feel straight out of DR1

[drew]

this is kind of embarrassing, but i was really high when i first played dr1 and i dont even remember using magazines, i thought you only had to read them on ce to gain their benefit, but it looks like you have to have them in your inventory? what gives?

[demi]

Yeah... they have to be in your inventory

[drew]

lame, maybe ill just stockipile the ones i find into a heap somewhere close to the safehouse

[Stoney Mason]

Played a few hours of the PC version tonight. I enjoyed it. It's still clunky but it seems far less punishing than the first game from what I've run across.

Yeah it sure is. Good thing I don't blow all my money on drugs.

[iconoclast]

Man,

TK kicked my ass. Not sure what the solution to him is. I would guess that I have to throw shit at him and then turn the crank but he just spears me into the wall and beats my ass. Forgot to save too so I have to do all of overtime again. I really love the game because of situations like this.

I am not a fan of gas zombies at all.

There's a crowbar and wrench or something laying around that  you can pick up to smack him with. You can always get two hits on him then roll out of the way as he attacks, then get another two hits, etc. There's also some orange juice you can pick up in the side areas, just jump on top of the cardboard boxes to see what's in them. After he spears you, you just have to hit the QTEs, and then you'll get some free shots on him. I don't even think you take damage while the QTEs are coming up, but I could be wrong about that.

After a while TK will jump down from the rafters, so that's when you can use the crank to lift the girls up. I only did that once though, the rest of the time I went looking for more items in the boxes.

Just got it

[chronovore]

My wife grabbed a copy of this for me while she was on business in the USA. My wife is great.

[Himu]

VIRGIN BOY

[Third]

Yeah, your wife was great. 

[chronovore]

Yeah, your wife was great. 

Not as much fun as I high-fived you when we were both doing your mom though, am I right?

[drew]

Yeah it sure is. Good thing I don't blow all my money on drugs.

at least i dont spend it all on dicks like you do, dickhead

[Third]

Definitely. My mom

[drew]

watching chronovore trying to do a zinger right next to me is sad, you have a lot to learn man

[chronovore]

Drew, are you trying to school me on comebacks? This should be great.

[drew]

see, this is exactly the sort of thing i was talking about

[The Sceneman]

self praise is no praise, drew.

Regardless I cant wait for your next zinger, my 'lil weenus is so hard teehee

[drew]

go get another achievement you xbox addled foreign fag

[Third]

[Himu]

shut the fuck up and discuss dead rising 2

I'm on day 3 and there's not another case until 7 pm. Nice. Lots of time to fuck around.

[chronovore]

self praise is no praise, drew.

Regardless I cant wait for your next zinger, my 'lil weenus is so hard teehee

Bu-bu-bu... but next you'll tell him that self-pleasure is no pleasure, and he may lose his well to live.

OT: Is there a camera in this, or not? If not, where does the game track disturbing stuff like TERROR, DRAMA, and EROTIC?

[Himu]

No cam

And there's no such thing as drama, terror, erotic. 

[Himu]

that's what i'm going to do on my second run.

Does money carry over? I wanna hack every atm until I have max money.

[Himu]

omg

[demi]

Uhhh that patch didnt fix SHIT. My coop partner still gets booted when I save.

[G The Resurrected]

Uhhh that patch didnt fix SHIT. My coop partner still gets booted when I save.

If your the host, you should put all of your saves on a USB drive. The timing out happens when saves are on the HDD. Only the host needs to have their saves on a USB. Then you can both save easily.

[demi]

wat. i dont even have a usb drive. i'll just use a quick 128mb SD card then i guess

[G The Resurrected]

WHAT NO USB DRIVE WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN THE LAST 5 YEARS!
 

Its good to invest in one if anything to back up saves on your computer or install free premium themes.

[demi]

Can I use the flash memory already on my Xbox instead?

[demi]

internal memory works... saved just fine

[G The Resurrected]

I don't know the answer to that one. I know its faster than the HDD so its worth a shot at least.

Just a side bar about the game in coop if for whatever reason you get disconnected before you finish the case you'll have to redo the case. Its fucking annoying as shit. And is why I didn't get the cheevo but the misses did. She was the host and I was the coop partner. I got dc'ed a few times and even being there to turn in the mission didn't matter you have to do it from start to finish.

[demi]

This game is so good. The new mall is extremely disorienting though. I have to get used to it.

I love the lightsaber weapon. I love co-op mode. Well, once we figured out the glitch bullshit with the save.

[FatalT]

Beat the game. Level 50. Time for achievement whorin.

[chronovore]

Just popped this in for the first time today. First impressions: mostly more of the same, but Chuck and duct tape >>>> Frank and camera. Trading the camera for combo weapons may be the best trade-off this generation.

[Himu]

how you get lightsaber demi?

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

I think I pretty much got every survivor on my first playthrough except for a couple of exceptions -

spoiler (click to show/hide)

The two mercs during the facts mission that want you to drop all your weapons before they'll even talk to you.  That was just too fucking annoying so I moved on.

And the psychopath that demands you to direct her show turned on me when I accidently hit her when knocking the zombies that were all over her ass.

[close]

Unless there's some hidden ones around, it was pretty easy to save everyone on the first go.  Definitely much easier than the first game.

[iconoclast]

There are 18 survivors that you don't get phone calls for IIRC. Which is really really stupid.

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

Well then fuck.  I guess I got some more to grab.

[chronovore]

I was wondering about that. My first run, I encountered a woman at the bar just outside the Security Room exit into the mall, and a woman on a newsstand and her cowboy-hat-wearing boyfriend... and I'm thinking "Did I miss a call from Otis, I mean wasserface?"

So there are 18 survivors with no notification, they just have to be discovered? Do you have to be a certain place at a certain time, or is it just whenever you first visit the area? Do they just get eaten if you don't go to help them?

[Sho Nuff]

Does anyone know the name of the mission i have to do to unlock the bathroom shortcut like the first game?

[chronovore]

Does anyone know the name of the mission i have to do to unlock the bathroom shortcut like the first game?

I can't believe they included the bathroom shortcut again. Man, that seemed like such a kludge in the first game, with no specific animation, not even a cutscene.

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

I don't know.  There's just something about this game that doesn't feel right.  I mean it fixes some of the problems of the first Dead Rising but then it ends up making new ones of its own that are a little hard to ignore. 

First of all, the mall is just too freaking big.  I know a bigger area sounds like a good idea but in practice the place is just too unwieldy, even after I became familiar with the layout and gained the shortcut. There's just too much ground to cover and much of it isn't even worth seeing anyway.  It immediately made me appreciate the logical and tight design of the Willamette Mall. 

Secondly, the game hits on too many of the same story beats of the first game, unsuccessfully I might add.  What made sense (and I use that loosely here) in the first game is carbon copied over to this one and it just feels flat and uninspired.  Like Overtime for instance.  In Dead Rising 1 the OT mode was a surprise and having to collect parts to help make a vaccine fit well into the story but here in DR2 we have to collect shit for TK that makes no fucking sense at all.  Again we're just doing it because that's what was done in the first game.

And while the game looks better than Case Zero it still looks a lot worse than the first one.  I realize that it's a different engine and now they're pumping out Maintenance Tunnel level zombie populations all over the place (which I can appreciate) but it isn't very pretty to look at.  Kind of a lame complaint I suppose but DR had some really nice texture work especially when it came to the main characters but here it's just butt ugly.

Lastly, I don't know if it's just me or what but it seems like the psychopath battles occur way too frequently in DR2.  The pacing felt a lot better in DR1 in that department.  I know some people like these things but the only one that I thought was halfway interesting was the one involving the MILF that wanted to you to direct her stage show.  I wish they all were a little more creative like that one.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

i'm glad i'm not the only one who thinks this game looks hideous compared to dead rising 1. the character models are PS2 /xbox 1 worthy.

[Sho Nuff]

Oh my god this is awesome, I had a survivor tagging along with me and I gave him an SMG -- ran into one of the psychos and he totally fucking annihilated him.

Now I have 4 escorts all with SMGs...soooo awesome

lsdfodsflololawwwwl no

DR2 poops all over DR1 and is better in errrrry way.

[demi]

?Just got S ending... Hitler annhilated. DESTROYS Dead Rising 1. This is exactly what as equel should be.

[demi]

Theres ZERO argument. Dead Rising 2 is leagues above DR1. Visually. Gameplayally. Storyally.

Blue Castle / Inafune nailed it. They took DR1 and grew on it. This is a true sequel. I can't wait for Case West.

[The Sceneman]

the game is fantastic. Only downside is the nerfing of the difficulty thus starting over halfway through is pretty much pointless now. Everything else is better than the first game.

TK is how I imagine Himuro in videogame form.

I'm up to case 7 or so, pretty useless considering how long I've had the game. I've been pretty unwell so been playing cabbage games like Liars Dice online in Red Dead mainly

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

TK wanted a bunch of shit to make that gas along with other 'gifts' like the basket and mobile headset. The things he wanted made total sense. He was under the impression that he had Chuck beat, so he had chuck go around like a little bitch ass and get dumb shit in addition to important shit like the pack of queens.

[close]

Also, I disagree with the statement that it looks worse than Dead Rising 2. I think texture-wise they look about the same. Maybe Dead Rising has more motion blur than Dead Rising 2.

I don't want to get into some dark10x bs but....

Go back and put in DR1 and then compare it visually to DR2. Pay particular attention to close ups of the main characters.  DR2 pumps out a shit load more zombies but it does so at a price.  The texture fidelity just isn't there.  IMO DR1 just flat out looks better.

And we'll just agree to disagree about overtime in DR2. I still think TK's fetch and quest felt distinguished mentally-challenged and the mode didn't add anything new gameplay-wise like it did in DR1.
