I've paid over a hundred dollars for Dead Rising 2!

I've played more of Case Zero on my 360, and I'm waiting to pick up Case West before I go for the 1000. If you wanna see my DR2 stats, check spacetojump's XBL profile, or my Steam. If you really care.

separate PC/console accounts.

EDIT: I realize that doesn't really answer your question. It's because I occasionally play pirated games on my PC that have GFWL and I don't want that to be attached to my console account.

Apparently it's being listed on Amazon as $50 or something.

Not excited about Super Dead Rising 2 at all. But I'll give them the chance to persuade me between now and release.

Now I know why all the creamer and orange juice disappeared from Dead Rising 1, later in the game. BA-DANG!

i like features which cater to my, you know, wanting to actually finish games

All I want out of the new game is for them to fix the bad framerate and the horrible load times in the console versions.

You can finish the game just fine with the original checkpoint system.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #497 on:** April 14, 2011, 05:41:04 PM »

dude if i have to start over from the beginning at any point during a game then i can guarantee i will never finish it

The Sceneman · « **Reply #498 on:** April 14, 2011, 07:22:19 PM »

? you never have to start over in DR2. DR1 on the other hand was very difficult if you didn't start over several times for the your first run-thorugh

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #499 on:** April 14, 2011, 10:56:26 PM »

that's what i meant, i didn't bother with dr2 because i thought it did the same thing

The Sceneman · « **Reply #500 on:** April 14, 2011, 11:27:47 PM »

ah right. Well DR2 is much more forgiving. Survivors can actually look after themselves this time around so it's easy to save a lot of them, and get lots of PP on your first run. You also get given the opportunity to save more often.

but TBH DR1 was designed specifically for multiple playthroughs, and it's understandable that feature put a lot of people off the game.

Ive been thinking about this image alot (becuase let's face it, big tits turn me on). And I was just thinking about how often size discrepancies always happen in cosplay.

Almost always: the nerdy guy is too skinny to dress up as the character they are trying to be, and the nerdy chick is generally too fat! It's funny.

At least these guy's costumes are pretty spot-on.

demi · « **Reply #502 on:** April 14, 2011, 11:56:41 PM »

"From a publisher point of view, it is very profitable. What you’ve got to bear in mind is that the current console business model requires, as with Dead Rising 2, a central disc, off of which you feed – in our case with a prologue, an epilogue and other bits and pieces.
"There’s no doubt smart retailers will be a big part of this business for at least ten to 15 years.
"You can get such reach and coverage by going with both retail and digital, that you cannot afford, in Capcom’s position, to give up with physical distribution.
"I think you can double your revenue through an integrated digital/physical strategy. And the profit you make without physical goods or cost of distribution, is much more. I’ve got a feeling digital distribution will actually come up very, very quickly, as it’s doing, and then start to plateau."

I would really like to know who at Capcom came up with the Case Zero idea, bringing a smaller format version of the main game out. People joked that it's a for-pay demo; that's fair enough, but as an XBLA title it also had the ability to be played in a Trial Version. That makes it an ideal demo, because it's not a rebalanced portion of the main game with tutorial crap which may or may not even be in context. What's more, If you take it as an XBLA title on its own merits, it's a full-blown experience on its own, powered by the same engine and triple-A assets Blue Castle applied to the retail game.

The trick is, if the full game is not entirely compelling, that "taste" may be enough for most consumers. Then you're looking at a retail disc that's just going to sit on the shelf, and fail to generate the initial sales income. I guess I'm saying it will be a performance amplifier: properly marketed and high quality titles will sell more, but lackluster efforts stand to sell even less copies of the retail disc.

Herr Mafflard · « **Reply #505 on:** April 19, 2011, 08:53:57 AM »

I guess you can also add that people who were only ever gonna rent or wait for a price drop for the main retail game may prefer a smaller 2–5 hr experience instead, thus generating revenue the main game may not receive.

I wonder how this model would work with new ip. Without a level of anticipation and familiarity, people may make mistaken assumptions concerning the full retail game having only played the prologue. Of course, it's up to the developers and publishers to frame as much quality content into the taster to ensure people come back for the main event.

chronovore · « **Reply #506 on:** April 19, 2011, 06:46:22 PM »

Ooh, that is a good point. I mean, seriously, there are a lot of people saying "I don't have 60 hours to invest in finishing a game! Good grief, I don't even have 20 hours! Give me something I can finish!"

This model does fit that nicely, though your point about brand new IP is also valid.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #507 on:** April 19, 2011, 11:44:17 PM »

this is so goddamn the best game ever. Busted the cheev for eating all the different food last night

Chronovore let's get Case West once we're done with our co-op playthrough!

chronovore · « **Reply #508 on:** April 20, 2011, 06:59:02 AM »

Got it. I bought it when I was in the USA over New Year's break. Otherwise I'd not be able to download it without using a Japanese account and Japanese XBL Marketplace points... and who knows if the two versions would even work nicely together?

The Sceneman · « **Reply #509 on:** April 26, 2011, 10:34:38 AM »

Fucking great timing, I was gonna get Case West soon and now its half price!

Case Zero for 200pts is ridiculous. No brainer if you don't already have it

why the frog? Cant you get it in Japan?

Anyways I got Case West and it's soooooooo good. It's cool to take Dead Rising to different locations other than malls.

Game is better than SEX

chronovore · « **Reply #512 on:** April 27, 2011, 11:44:08 AM »

Naw, I just don't like things going on sale after I've paid full price -- and haven't even played the game. As I've mentioned, I had to be physically outside of Japan to purchase this, so it required taking my Gamertag to the USA, downloading on a friend's 360 (meaning my DLC is keyed to his machine, so I have to be logged into XBox Live to use it), and transferring it to a USB stick to bring back to Japan with me.

I got like 17 more achievements in this game in the last couple of days. OMG it's awesome.

Now pretty much just gotta do the 50 survivior/notebook run, then run over 72000 zombies for my 1000. Then it's mopping up Case West. And maybe I'll go back to DR1 and get the 5 and 7 day survivor achievements. I really have to prove my Dead Rising fan status.

Dead Rising

bring on Off the Record!

chronovore · « **Reply #517 on:** May 06, 2011, 08:26:28 AM »

No Off the Record for me. Pretty sure by the time I'm done with DR2, Case Zero, and Case West, I will be well-and-truly done with the mechanic for awhile.

I might... go back to try for a few more original Dead Rising 'cheevs, but I'm pretty sure I'll get frustrated with the REAL MAN GAME MECHANICS of helpless survivors who (a) can't negotiate clear paths through zombie hordes, (b) get grabbed repeatedly and cannot free themselves, and (c) literally can't use weapons to save their lives.

chronovore · « **Reply #518 on:** May 13, 2011, 05:24:38 AM »

Sceneman and I just wrapped up the "co-op the final boss" 'cheev from Dead Rising: Case West, and the "all Cases in co-op" for Dead Rising 2.

Sceneman

In his own words, he is "pretty good at videogames."

However, Fortune City has cast me a couple of rough dice rolls; I've recently realized that I lost my chance to finish Ante Up, so no Knight's Helmet this time. The other damned poker game in Atlantica, which I won, cost me the Tape It or Die crew access AND Art Appreciation. Missing these two screwed up filling out my Notebook entries for completion, the last two Survivor Combo Cards, as well as getting the FINAL gift for Katey. That's three Achievements which were "in the bag" except for that damned poker game. I should have followed the guide's advice and just killed them.

In frustration, I went gambling to get the $6M in winnings out of the way, only to lose track of my health and get mauled by the gas zombies after winning over $2M.

So... I'm going to wrap up my current excursion in Fortune City as quickly as possible, restart the game, finish Ante Up and Art Appreciation, and then introduce those three professional poker players to every form of bladed weapon I can find.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #519 on:** September 01, 2011, 09:47:49 AM »

just got 1000/1000, after almost a year of on-and-off play. What an incredible game. Bring on Off the Record!

chronovore · « **Reply #520 on:** September 01, 2011, 10:00:12 AM »

Nice!

How do I get the Notebook complete 'cheev from you?
