Yeah must be ranked otherwise it doesn't count, I wrote down which games I had beaten (you must finish slicecycles and save for it to register that you have won whichever games) the second I won at headhunter the trophy came up so I just quit.
Also if your tied with someone it still classes it that you won the game.
I was terrible when I started playing TIR a few days ago, now I win nearly every match without fail, so there's hope for everyone!

Is that the new animation from the Psycho pack?
What bonus does the Psycho pack give? I have the ninja pack so when im doing my survivor run today im going to use 1 bit of the ninja outfit and one part of the psycho outfit for both abilities.

It depends, they have a shorter range, seem a bit slower, and it looked like they did less damage, but they do have a great combo. I really couldn't use the MMA gloves on psychopaths, the knife gloves were just far more efficient. I liked the MMA gloves better for zombies though.
I'm hoping they release the costume packs in a discount bundle, it's the only way I'll get them. Can't wait for Case: West.

Knife gloves are still my fave. Boxing gloves from the shop next to the safe room exit and a knife from any appropriately equipped zombie. Job done... and those things carve through psychos like butter.

OVERTIME mode
Not the final battle, that was awesome. The rest of it should've been fleshed out more.
IMO, they should've kept the
underground lab and whole gas plot for overtime

I have to agree things tailed off quite dramatically towards the end. The penultimate boss is a horrible slog that's only there as a nod to what was one of the worst bits of the first game, and the final boss is equally annoying with its sudden changing of the rules and distant save point.
Overtime was a lot more interesting in the first game as it presented a completely new way of playing the game and new rules to survive, but in DR2 it just seemed an artificial attempt at stretching things out a bit longer so the tedious "this game better be 15 hours long!!" crowd get their non-fun money's worth. As has already been said the final fetch quest seemed completely inexplicable (
) and the game sadly sort of wheezes to an exhausted halt compared to the triumphant way it begins.

the photo is apparently of TK, so I assume he's covering his tracks and removing anything damaging to him, but even then it's never mentioned again and some of items are just peculiar - why a microphone/headset!?
Any noob advice? Barely played DR1, so this is pretty much all new to me. I started last night and got through the 1-4 case file and saved a few survivors. I'm only at level 5 at this point, and I'm starting to realize that I'm probably going through too fast without grinding enough. Should I bail on Katey and the case files? Can I still effectively 'beat the game' and just get a crappy ending this way? Anyways, I'm open to all kinds of advice.
Edit: Do I always have to carry a magazine to get it's perks? Or can I read it and drop it?

You can completely ignore all objectives, and still play the 72 hours out. In fact, I would recommend your first playthrough you ignore the case files and just keep giving Katey Zombrex, use the time to learn the map and rescue survivors.
Magazines need to be in your inventory to get their bonus, so until you get more space, the only one I would recommend keeping is the Leadership magazine.

You're not playing it wrong, you're just looking at it the wrong way. In most games you can experience all of the content available in a single playthrough. You can't do that with Dead Rising, so Dead Rising "the game" isn't about a single playthrough. Once you free yourself of a single playthrough mindset and set specific goals for each playthrough it becomes a lot more fun.

As people have already said, try playing it how is most fun for you. I'd personally say concentrate on the the case missions, and consider everything else secondary. If you can save people or kill psychos, great, if you can't, ignore them. If you're really finding it that hard then it might be worth starting again and just exploring and messing around for a couple of hours. Then you can just kill yourself and start a "proper" run with the added levels and knowledge. You don't have to play through to the end that way - but you certainly can if you're enjoying it. There's no right or wrong.

Man Capcom really fucked up the wireless 360 controller on the PC version. And from their emails, it sounds like they won't even try to fix it. Bravo.

So it seems no one plays TIR. :lol
I've been searching for a game for the past 10m or so with no luck.

Get the program and the pre-set .ini file. You might need a specific version. I don't remember which it was, but it was mentioned on the steam forum. Create the file using the program in the DR2 directory, and then open up both .ini files, pasting the button setups from the original .ini file into the one you just made. Should work fine.leng jai said:

I followed these instructions and got it to work just fine. The guide button doesn't work but not a big deal IMO.

Just after the start of the game when i save Chuck' s girl and take her off the place, when it starts loading it always freezes. Tried 4 times, nothing changed. What might be the problem? Anyone had the same problem? Also disc has no scratches or anything and its a promo disc. I have to start making the review and this shit happens just at the start of the game

Yep, struggled to find games when I was looking, the only time there are people on is when all the americans are on (which is after midnight in the UK)
So I don't ever pimp my site, but we did a podcast interview with the senior producer of DR2 earlier this week and I thought it turned out really well.
If you're interested
He dropped a few bombs which were pretty awesome. Here's my favorite: (I'll spoiler it in case people want to hear the producer describe it)

The coffee is the truth. Throughout the game, Chuck has a cup of coffee in cutscenes that he often brings to his mouth, but never actually has a chance to drink. The truth is close, but just out of reach. It's not until you're almost at the end that Chuck actually takes a gulp. It's a little thing, but I thought it was really interesting. You don't see this sort of literary technique in games very often.
Also
They initially had zombies pushing zombies in wheelchairs, but it was cut because it implied some sort of human relationship. So great!

Would be interesting to see a female protagonist, though I think Capcom loves their boob shots too much for this to happen (the Chang cutscenes were shameless :lol)

On my third playthrough, I'm finally at 6-1 of the case files. So far they've been pretty easy since I'm over level 40. It's almost impossible to die if I carry a couple healing items. I might need a break once I finish this playthrough since I've played this game almost every night for the last two weeks.
It's not often that I get so hooked on a game, well done Blue Castle.

Speaking of technique and symbolism-- (just my opinion)
Sullivan seems to portray Odin/Yahweh somewhat with his overtones of what is the greater good. He stands on a man made platform and when he attempts an exit it is going up. TK on the other hand would be the Loki/Satan character (that cattle prong and smile is what made me start thinking of this... and his fight involves trying to lower others into a 'pit' of zombies, also when he is defeated he falls himself-
