Just got the plat for this, barely killed the 72k in time. Very fun experiences, overall I give it a 8/10, I would consider this a great 'B-game' and I do not mean that in a bad way. Though I do not know if I will be keeping it in the collection for good-
Finished off with 18,700,278 PP, ranked 410~

Bloody hell, that TiR was a bit of a slog - but I got the 'T.K.'s Favourite' achievement after an hour! So lucky the tand Up Zomedy came up two matches in a row! Got 4 ingame hours to get 1k kills for the 72k one, and that's me done.
It must be a good game, because despite 4 playthroughs and countless online matches, I would happily keep on playing again, restarting the game.
Definitely a worthwhile purchase - I hope Blue Castle Games can come up with some good DLC - they do have plenty of options available to them (new mini-games, a new casino, new combos, new psychos - ideally suited to such a modular additions approach!)

Is there a mod for the pc version that can make the menu beeps quieter? I think if i turn down sound fx in the audio menu the dialogue also gets really quiet; but the map and mission menus are always going crazy on PC version (m/kb) and the beeping is looud.

So I know Case West is coming and I don't know the details. The thing is I love the game, but I am already on lvl 50, so why can't they raise the level cap? I was thinking and most likely Case West won't do this, but it would be awesome if the level cap was raised to lets say 65 and new combo weapons and attacks would be added for such levels. Also it should add more survivvors and psychos.
Maybe Case West will do some of his( and I hope it make Frank playable in the normal game too), but I bet it will be a stand alone game like Case Zero. I hope all this or to some degree any of this happens.
I wanna keep playing Dead Rising 2, but not for the new costumes only, but for more thrills or laughs.

I have a feeling there will be new survivors and psychopaths, maybe new weapons too, I also read that the camera is coming back thanks to frank (so you will have to do all the pp stickers and stuff)

Then you have the issue of people playing Co-op with others who haven't got the DLC and everything looking a bit odd, it could still happen, who knows what they have up their sleeve.
No. The important thing about that video is he's using music from Deadly Premonition!duckroll said:Ignoring the new weapons and zombie count, what's more important in that video is that they modded shortcuts to each major area in the game directly into the safehouse! Holy shit!

It's definetly something to do if you enjoy self-harming.
So, do we even know anything about Case West yet? I just got Case Zero, but I still demand more content for this game. The main thing I'm curious about is if it'll be a separate location like Case Zero or if it's gonna be a new campaign takes place at Fortune City. Even though we'd get more out of a new location, I'd love to see them pump a ton more content in the main game to keep things interesting.
Also, I really hope it's only a timed exclusive so the rest of you guys can play it. Fuck exclusive DLC.

No not really fun. They are gratifying when you successfully save them, but they damage easily, walk right into Zombies, and don't really listen when you call. Not to mention the controls feel more imprecise in the original game, so trying to help them really sucks. DR2 maybe goes to far in the other direction, but atleast they weren't aggravating for all the wrong reasons.HK-47 said:
That's pretty cool, I'll have to try it out. I would like to have weapon durability increased proportionally to match the increased amount of zombies, though. Also, you know if this is compatible with GFWL?brain_stew said:

Is there any way to speed up time?
I'm dedicating a playthrough just for Katey's gifts and since the last one doesn't show up until Day 3, it's been a boring time.

Damn I must be doing something wrong in Headache, I thought I was doing quite well but some other guy had like 9000+ points after about 30 seconds. Does it work on a multiplier system or can you just keep hitting the button after a few hats?
Also, good tactic for bounty hunter I found is to completely ignore the jackpot and just position yourself so you can see through the gap in the blockers, then keep blasting those bonus zombies. I always end up miles ahead of 2nd place.
Theater on platinum strip. Useful if you want to thrash out the co-op trophy, too.

Used that mod some more. The saw blade shooter is the new megabuster. I keep it in my back pocket and break it out at the boss fights which are just not fun. The difficulty spike for certain bosses is insane. Great mod overall. It really is allowing me to enjoy the game in a way that is otherwise not possible by giving me a painless approach to those encounters.

Lay the steaks in front of a Column and hide behind it. Then call out to snow flake. It won't always work depending on how snowflake approaches, but there is little risk. You can just run around the column and snowflake won't touch you, or run to a platform. Takes me maybe 5 minutes.Crunched said:
as a massive DR1 fan, I'm not feeling the sequel and stopped play just about after I rescued bebe (the psychotic lounge singer). The snipers showed up. Its the final day I.
I think its:
I'll finish this one day but I didn't really get blown away by the sequel. It feels like its missing something.
I think its:
- the dejavuness,
- the lack of a challenge - in that the survivors are SO robust, and easy to keep alive
- and/or the weaksauce not so pyschotic psychos when compared to game 1.
- the combo weapon focus really takes away from the physical fighting abilities and its completely unneccesary for the most parts in the sequel. When frank got to be able to walk over zombies in game1 as part of his skillset, now that was awesome.

I'd say if anything it's missing a lot of the challenge. Not so much the combat, but because it's really not difficult to do every single thing that can be done in a single run in DR2 (Save everyone, kill all psychos, S rank ending etc). I'll put it down to the bitching of the people who hated the first game that they wouldn't risk it again.Jax said:

Replaying the original finding that the challenge is coming not from actually be difficult in a good way. The controls are very imprecise, I thought they were in 2 as well, but they are frustratingly worse here. Any control changes in the sequel really were improvements. They whole aiming system is so much better in 2. Jumping is also noticeably tighter. Otis phone calls are so annoying and they are always at bad times, and you don't have the option to skip them. Even when a survivor is surrounded by Zombies in 2 it's less fatal when trying to free them. It's silly how easy it is to hit them in 1. Zombies also seem to grab on much easier and at further distances in 1. I'm more likely to kill them an the zombies. At a high level the a psychopaths are pretty damn easy in either game.
While I think a Dead Rising pro would be able to do just about everything survivor, psycho, and plot wise, on the first go in 2, I really can't see anyone else being anything but overwhelmed. You still need to learn the layout of Fortune City and devise strategies accordingly. And you are very limited by the early experience levels too. Chuck is much slower than Frank when compared at their max. Not easy on the first try.
I can see someone preferring all those things in the first game, but they ring more of being frustrating for frustrating's sake, and that just isn't as fun to me. No matter how good the pay off of escorting 8 survivors might be. I can't find a game that enjoyable if I'm frustrated half the time.
DR2 is almost a perfect balance, survivors being too strong is my only criticism gameplay wise. And I don't want to sound like I'm shitting on 1. It's still a great game, just doesn't feel as great now that I know the improvements that could be made. 2 just caters to my preferred style more.

Don't get me wrong, I think DR2 is far superior to DR1 in just about every way that counts... just that I would have preferred it to be a little less easily tamed.
I'm with Mr. Hume on this one, but it would have been cool if they included a 'hardcore'/realism mode where a couple hits from zombies can kill you and you have to eat/drink to stay alive. It would be intense as well and a fun way to keep the game fresh after you've gone through it a few times.

Completely disagree on Bounty Hunter. The best tip is to immediately zoom OUT with the sniper rifle. So you get a wider view. Also know when the Jackpot will start up so you can immediately get a head start. Focus only on baloon zombies. If you play Call of Duty or any FPS, Bounty Hunter is cake.
For Headache, yes, you get more points for more zombies that you have put the blender on. Try to focus on 7 before pushing the button. Toss your dynamite to the other side of the room. If you can get 9, amazing. If you see a Dynamite anywhere, immediately go push the button.
