Yeah I remember playing that scene for the first time with some friends and almost dying of laughter, holy shit. And don't forget the Cult Leader's awesome exit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hh0FcruDZgY
Watching those videos reminds me how much better the blood effects were in DR1, amongst other things. Blue Castle obviously understands the Dead Rising franchise, they totally nailed the atmosphere and gameplay. Now damn it Capcom let them have the keys to the MT Framework engine for Dead Rising 3!

Never had a 360 or dead rising but a friend of mine did. Back when it came out, he brought his equipment to my place and I watched him play and fell in love. *snicker*
Anyway... recently, I've been craving that experience again and hoped DR2 would provide. I even had a dream that was very DR like that took place at an airport but the random thing was there was an "audio" button and when you pressed it your character made a noise which effected zombies in different ways. For some reason I had Micheal Jackson's "Eee hee" set so my character kept running around doing that at a press of a button. Random.
So I should DR2 then, right?

It's a lot easier if you have
a gun. As soon as he runs off to heal, just shoot him once, that's enough to stop him eating. Then just melee him twice with a decent weapon like spike bat then retreat to avoid his counter attack. The western restaurant next door has plenty of healing items to stock up on, too.

However on my second playtrough all the psychos are going down sooooo easy, and because I'm fast as hell there's a lot of time to spare, there's nothing to do but to kill zombies with the hamsterball, yeeeeaahh
Is anyone else getting a OS incompatibility problem trying to run this game??
Bought the steam version and tried to run in on Win 7 64bit... and it's telling me before it even loads the game (i.e. anytime I try to load the .exe) that this program is incompatible with this version of the OS and that I should try to contact the vendor for a 32 bit or 64bit version of the executable.
I check the properties, it's telling me that the .exe is a 16bit file. WTF?
I think I might need to download a torrent of the iso and see if I can use the .exe in there. Or would anyone be able to kindly upload their steam exe? ... I'll start by redownloading it on steam itself. :\

Relax and think about the reality of the situation. He's fat, dumb, and easily excited. His weapon has a long reach, but only in front of him, and he runs in fixed paths depending on where you are. Use the railings on both side to your advantage, and make him run in circles until he's tired.
There is a HUGE temptation in the fight to rush in and "finish him off" at many times, but do NOT give in to that. If you fuck up and get creamed from the front, he can continue attacking and his combos can either kill you in a single sequence or deplete your health by a TON at the very least.
If all else fails, in the maintenance room to the left of the boss fight (look on the map) has the materials to make a rocket launcher. It helps a ton especially if you can make good distance between him and you, and shoot at him while he is charging at you. Don't get too greedy with the shots, because even though some shots will stun him for a moment, he will keep coming at you. Don't let him catch up.

Fuck. I just beat 2-2, time for Zombrex again. I run around for 2-3 hours (game time), encounter a few psychos and stuff, but find no info on how to gain some. The clock was ticking away and I got anxious.
I buy it in the pawn shop and the SECOND I walk out of the shop with it in my back pocket a quest comes up that results in Zombrex being awarded. Fuckkkk! I had about 45mins of progress so I wasn't going to load my last save.
Oh well, at least I have a Zombrex spare for her next shot, I guess...

Yeah, I'm never going to rack that up. I only got 25k from running around the slot machines a lot. I'm not playing the shitty online mini game for cash. :lolduckroll said:

There is a lot of zombrex out there. I found 3 of them in the world (not counting the ones pyschos or survivors give you) without even looking up walkthroughs or anything.
In other news, the reviews of this game are freaking criminal. Like this pile of nonsense for example that gave it a 4/10. I'm convinced this guy played the first 45 min of the game and quit.

What helped me a lot is when I started making half-circle runs instead of trying to completely outrun him. Like, I'm on one side of the railing and he starts running around it to get to me. While he does that, I run in the opposite direction, and get to the other side of the room, behind the railing. Then instead of continuing to run a full circle around the room, as he comes close, I jump over the railing and run straight across the room and jump over the other railing. If you time it well, his pathfinding will not be able to catch up.

Don't worry about it. Later on in the game there are optional missions which give a ton of money. I would say in a single playthrough it is not unusual to end up with 200k or so. I'll probably be able to rack up over 500k by the time i finish my first replay, since I'm starting the next game with 240k or something like that.

Cheers, guys, I might be able to buy a few fun stuff from the pawn shop now. That flamethrower is so mine...

There are also a lot of missions later that cost money...survivors demanding money to be rescued and stuff. I'd recommend gambling a bit to anyone for that reason. Even just one gambling book + say, 20 min of giant slots is enough that you never have to worry about money again.duckroll said:

Get 3 gambling books, play giant slots. You'll make a million in about 15 minutes, sometimes less.

I had major problems with this guy. Fought him 3-4 times before I abandoned it and figured I would kill him on the second play through.
Get a sniper and a shotgun from near the Atlantica Casino. When he's close range, hit him with the shotgun, when he runs off to eat his damn food to recharge, shoot him with the sniper to stop him. Kill this asshole.

If a survivor tried to charge me for my help they'd get a baseball bat to head. :lol

I'm intrigued now. I can sorta understand "I'm not coming with you unless we find my loved one" but "I don't care that I'm surrounded by flesh eating zombies I want CASH damnit!"? :lol
For all of the annoying and "backwards" design of this game, it still has damn charm, I'll give it that.

Foliorum Viridum said:
I think a lot of the charm -is- because the design is not afraid to be "annoying" simply to incite a reaction from the player. Because a large part of the game is optional, it gives the designers the freedom to come up with some really wicked shit to make the player think twice about being a nice guy. In the end, not everything you do is worth your while in terms of gameplay reward, but some players won't be able to rest easy knowing they deliberately let someone die, or didn't complete every mission, and this conflict of interest is what makes many survivors memorable in both Dead Rising games.
