72k! \o/

(Was bloody tight)
What time did you finish at, I got it at 7:43 AM on the Fourth Day, I was stressing, but the game doesn't end until 10 AM.

@elrechazao No, I was pretty pissed when I didn't unlock anything in-game. I've gotten over it, but if I would have known the only reward was an Achievement, I wouldn't have done it. :/

So I just hit Day 3 (~1am now) and umm, I don't have any messages? It feels weird not having anything messaged to go do. Are there any things I should be doing? I've probably missed a lot of stuff already. I've done all the message stuff so far and found/killed tiger tamer (but for some reason it didn't count in my psycho kill total, got the "kill 5" achievement after I killed the 6th. So far killed
Cure; Motorbike; Chef; Slappy; Chainsaw; Tigertamer
). Any hidden psychos/survivors on the prowl now?

here's my chuck:

Also how do you guys have so much money? I'm level 30, ~13 hours and I've spent about 100k and that's all I've gotten ($20k of it from an online TIR game).

I wonder if there's something that does get unlocked with the 72k but we just haven't found it yet? Maybe some pre-conditions have to be met first? Because I sure as hell won't do that for 20 measly points.

Yes I will :(
 
What's the easiest way to get the Genocider achievements?

I figure bike magazine and SUV magazine, then driving around the platinum and silver strips, ducking in to a casino when one breaks.

My problem is: Where's a good place to chainsaw up your bike and is it possible to do this before the snipers show up?

Chainsaw can be found on the silver strip where the concert stage is. Its up top on one of the lighting rigs i guess they would be called. Climb onto the speakers to get up there on the back of the stage.

I wouldn't suggest the Bike method, you can't get the durability Mag unless you go underground ( Case 2-2) so that wastes time.

SUV method is the less risky way. Right when the game starts ignore all story and Survivors/Psychos, make a Spiked Bat, and Defiler, maybe grab the 50% health book and Orange Juice, and a couple Skateboards. Then, grab the Durability Mag in Americana Casino, exit to Platinum Strip, hop on the Bike in front of the Arena and go to the SUV.

Just keep at it, resetting the Zombies every 2000-2500 kills. If you are going to save, do it in the middle of the Fortune Park, so you don't waste time running through a Casino to a bathroom.

There is a Chainsaw on the left rafters of the stage on the Silver Strip, jump on the speakers to get to it. I used the Sliceycle (with no Magazine) for about 10K of my kills, but I'm not sure if it helped or hampered.

The Snipers don't really have an effect on the SUV, I never worried about them. It was funny when every so often I would see a Zombie head explode before I ran it over. :lol

Much, much closer. I'd say probably 9:35. I only just made it back to the safe house after.

I wanted to see what happens when Katie turns
 
Doing a bit better at TIR tonight, came first in:

Slicecycles- 4 times
Headache- I was tied pointwise with someone else but it put me as first and him second so not going to complain
Pounds of flesh- hate this game, im rubbish at it but got into a game with people who were even worse
Master shafter- owned them in this one totally, I think I was on 12k points, 1 person had 2k and the other 2 had 0 :lol
Zomboni- just won at this as well

Edit: Just won ball buster

And ramsterball, 2 to go!

- Survivors that carry a suitcase will reward you when you bring them to the safe house, I got 120K by saving two (50k+70k), not sure if there is more of them, haven't started my 2nd run yet
- ATMs, use hackers on ATMs, it gives you 10K each time, the maintenance room near arena (the one that is in a corridor next to the security room, this is around lower left of the map) has everything you need to make hackers (flashlight + computer case), just exit this corridor after you made the hacker and go to the main hall (this is the place where game starts, in the beginning when you escape) and right on the other side in one of the corridors there are two ATMs, bam! repeat!
ATMs can be found in all of the casinos IIRC and there were some in silver strip too.

Re: Overtime,
wasn't the place supposed to get firebombed?

After Chuck makes contact, I'd assume it spread the news and it was called off. But yeah, they never technically addressed that.
 
You know what bothers me about the non-Overtime ending?

Chuck clips Sullivan's torso to the scaffolding. The evidence Sullivan had was in his backpack. Logically, all the evidence went with him, unless it simply fell to the ground, in which case it was probably ruined.

Wait, how come you saved so money survivors but only got 150k PP from saving them? Don't you get ~10-20k per?

Or did you hit max level at some point and stopped getting any PP from saving them?


*edit, nm I'm guessing that's just a bonus amount you get for having that many when you complete it and not a break down of PP earned from saving them.

has capcom or blue castle said anything about a patch for the save bug in the xbox 360 version where it kicks you out in coop? Other than that this game is great.

We haven't heard anything yet, as far as I know, but I played my first online co-op last night and I was able to save several times without player 2 being booted. It was on the HDD and everything.
Maybe I'm just lucky.

Ive save a few times without dropping but then sometimes it does drop. Weird. I've just been playing with my brother both our games are installed to the hard drive. First night every saved kicked me out. Tonight the first save kicked me out but the second time didn't. I was just trying to find out what is causing it so I wouldn't do it if I could help it.

I've heard (in this thread) that saving the USB prevents it because it loads faster than an HDD. I wonder if 360 model has anything to do with it. I'm on an old ass white 360 with a 20gig HDD. Again, I might just be lucky, but I probably saved like 7 or 8 times last night without any booting.

Either way, Capcom needs to fix that shit. It's unacceptable, especially when it affects such an awesome game.

Is there any way to hit the
sniper on the high hiiiiigh ledge besides use a sniper rifle?

My game just crashed for the first time (PC version). Not sure what triggered it, but I can deal with one crash every 13 hours I guess. Luckily I had just saved about 40 seconds prior.
 
Just caved in and double dipped by buying the PC version. I had a 10% off coupon for Impulse, so I decided I just had to play the GOTY in its superior form. I will keep my 360 version for the co-op with my friends, but single player will be PC only. Can't wait to start a new file though and go through the game again.

Is there just an issue with my TV or does this game have some ghosting issues? Like sometimes when I jump I see a trail of Chuck, or it'll happen randomly in action. Much more disorienting than the framerate drops. 360 version.

Pretty awesome so far though, I had my doubts about the game being outsourced and all but it's better than the first one in a lot of ways. I'm on Case 3 and I think I might restart the game but I dunno.
 
Do all the achievements have to be in one playthrough?

I mean stuff like entering every store, trying on all the clothes, etc. Can I spread the clothes around several playthroughs, for example?

Just got the Better With a Friend trophy as well as TK's Favorite- now just have to get a few more, then 72k zombies have to die.

^^ Clothing carries over, as does weapons used.

There are ladders to every single roof access they use. Look around on your map a bit. :D

PC patch just adds a logo to the beginning of the game I believe, perhaps fixes the sound problem that's it.
Aww. I thought that the dimming light was at least partially fixed, but I could be just imagining it. At least it seems to still happen but not get as dark.

I'm not sure how the game could be at fault for that sort of thing. It has to be your TV. Maybe it's just motion blur.

Well after having quite a bit of trouble with the CURE guy, and the groom, I had a great session yesterday. I was a few levels up from before, but still only about 12. A friend of mine told me about painkillers, and I found a nice setup in the slot ranch for those.

Ended up doing the chef, postman, slappy and the groom all in quick succession. Just done katies 2nd zombrex (still first play through) so Overall a really good time. I've got some basic runs setup from the safe house for knife gloves, spiked gloves and that axe/hammer thing, so i'm ready to go exploring further afield.

Finally finished the game with S rank at level 31. The final boss was a total bitch, took me 5 or 6 attempts before I could take him down.

Fantastic game, miles ahead of the first one. I really hope Capcom was serious when they said they want Dead Rising to be their #1 franchise, I think its definitely a possibility with Blue Castle at the helm.

I don't think I can play this game anymore. I think I've put in almost 30 hours at this point. I love this game to death, but man, I need a break. I'm going to wait until they reach the ninja outfit, then I'll hop back in and get the rest of the achievements.

Yeah, it took me several times also, until I figure out his pattern ... he actually was easy you just have to stand your ground and smack him until he run off.

I agree that this game is tons of fun.
 
Is there a way to
save Rebecca Chang in the story, and not get killed by Sullivan? Come one, I have save 3 times that girl to be killed by this idiot.
Also IMO
I would have prefered if they have killed the red head, and I love red heads, but fucking christ if she is and idiot, STOP FUCKING CALLING ME AT THE MOST INCOVINIENT TIMES! I KNOW WHAT TO DO! Worse one was when I was going to fight sullivan, and knew what to do and where to go, but she still called me 3 times to talk about the same things when I was surrounded by special infecteds and the in the sullivan fight... of course I know he is in the top of the yucatan casion, im fighting him right now bitch!, and I you dont get the phone that horible beep is in the backgorund.
So is there a way to kill her and save rebecca instead?

No. You can change the two way radio ringer though.

Gah, found a bug. Right after you beat the final boss and go into overtime, you get the opportunity to save. When you finally take control again you get 60k PP points for the psychopath bonus. But if you exit/die and load that save, you don't get the psychopath bonus :(

This is why I always save again in the toilet right after. Never trust "auto" saves!

I've got a question about a mission during one of the last cases:

Can I give TK the zombrex at once or do I have to wait until they call me back or something like that? It shouldn't matter, but I just wanna make sure.
