God forbid someone demands a game runs fast enough to look smooth. It's only the most important thing a game needs to do graphically.

It's relative to what the title is doing. In DR2's case, I think it's mildly justified. I've seen shit run alot worse and it's gotten a pass from our peers (GTAIV anyone?)

Hell, Shadow of the collosus is considered a visual triumph despite is shit framerate.

Like others said, just pick it up on PC then.

i dont think that has anything to do with it. some people dont notice framerate problems as much.

I'm quite sensitive to framerate problems, but I didn't think that the framerate was terrible in Case Zero. Yeah there were framedrops, but it was far from unplayable. Perhaps it's worse if you play at 1080p? I play at 720p.

I will. It just burns me up that I don't get to have my Case 0 progress carry over to the PC version.

I'm not American and I downloaded it, from my experience, they don't lock the games, maps and shit as soon as they upload them, but a couple hours later it's another story.

So I'm not getting the achievement for making a combo weapon, am I doing something wrong?

I made a drill bucket, spiked bat and IED but none gave me the achievement. Is it borked somehow? I quickly googled it and didn't see it coming up as an issue.

I had all nine scratch cards and didn't get the achievement for making everything. But I went back and made some more items and the achievement finally triggered. I'm guessing one of the builds (probably the molotov) didn't take and it took a second try to register with the game.

Give it a shot. If you're not getting the first weapon achievement it may just be a matter of making more until one triggers the event call.

If you buy something at the pawn shop, you get the card, but it doesn't count towards the achievement.

This is a really good walkthrough for those that are having issues:

http://dead-rising.wikia.com/wiki/Dead_Rising_2:_Case_Zero_Walkthrough

Slightly OT: I'm currently watching Zombrex: Dead Rising Sun, and the dubbing is horrid. I need to find it in Japanese and just wing it with my decreasing (don't use it, ya lose it)Japanese langiage skills.
Click to expand...
Dead Rising Sun makes me not want to buy Dead Rising 2. It's literally the worst type of game advertising I have ever seen.

That is completely impossible. Some people just aren't noticing the atrocious framerate, how I honestly don't know its damn near impossible to miss.
Click to expand...

Or some people are genuinely not experiencing the framerate problems? I'm not an idiot. I make no pretense to be some kind of tech expert but I can see when the likes of Alan Wake or Dead Rising 1 tear, or when the framerate in GTA4 or RDR or Fable 2 or Nuts and Bolts drops. The framerate in Case Zero has been really solid for me. It's absolutely nowhere near atrocious.

Same for me, but I keep reading people complaining about the framerate so I assume that the problem doesn't affect everybody.

I had this same issue; did you unlock the game while in the trial? Supposedly this was my problem. I fixed it by deleting the game and moving the save onto my memory card, redownloading and starting a new game, build my nailbat and only then did it unlock.

Ah I did unlock from the trial, that's super annoying because it didn't even save my progress when I did that!

Well I'll have to try that then, thanks for the suggestions everyone.

You can actually check from within the game - pause and look at the notebook to see a list of all of the humans, whether they be psycho, saveable or non-saveable. The first time around, people you haven't met yet show up as "???".

Man, I don't give a fuck about frame rates or anything, I care about murdering countless zombies and this game does it well. Give me infinite paddlesaws and all the zombies I can slaughter and my life would be complete.

so good... can't wait for DR2

Never really pick up on screen tearing or see it as an issue, watching my character run as though he has gone into matrix slow mo everytime more than 10 zombies are on the screen then we have a problem. I don't care if the graphics are subpar, but I expect in this game that I should be able to dodge a zombie attack effectively based off timing, not based off putting a delay in my head for framerate drops. Sorry.

Clear your 360 cache. It helped get rid of the horrible framerate for me.

As far as carrying your file over to Dead Rising 2, the ending you have on your save file doesn't make any difference right? It just carries your XP and combo cards over correct?

And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
Man, why is this only on 360? Torturous.
