Cool, I'm glad you still can get more skill points. Does level 50 get you close?
My buddy and I just continued on, we ran into plenty of chainsaws. We just made sure to keep one and brought it back to the person that gave us the side mission.
I am SO happy this game's campaign is co-op!
I have a quick question I need some help with:
When I started the game and left the first garage (after the chubby chick starts to fix the TV), I got a phone call from the mystery dude talking about the strong boxes and how he would send me the codes once I had cleared the safe houses associated with each strong box. I played for about 5 more minutes then restarted the chapter, once I restarted I never got that same phone call and the safe house mission the guy had told me about where the strong box was located was not active anymore...... have I lost the ability to open the strong boxes now? All of the strong boxes are still locked, even the ones in front of the safe houses I have cleared. I just killed the second? boss, biker dude. Do I need to restart the hole game in order to have the mystery dude give me the strong box codes?

I maxed everything but the weapon-type-combo thingies at the top. I saved the points for when I hit 50 to then use on those skills that unlock.
I could be wrong but that may just be the smartglass stuff. If you were doing that, try loading it up again. I only remember getting those missions from the companion app.
Interesting, I was messing around with the companion app when I got that call.
I am just wondering when and how the lock boxes get unlocked..... seems like if the safehouse has been cleared they should be available.
Once you've done a bunch of missions for him, he'll unlock the boxes as well as stashes around the city.
Anyone know what the different endings are?
I got ending 'S', which sounds like it's good, but not sure what the criteria entailed.
Awesome, thanks for the info..... I will keep my current game active then and just try and do some more side missions to get those boxes open.

Man, all day longI think about playing this and when I get home, I just can't find the time to play for more than 20 - 30minutes at a time.
It's just depressing. I want to play more, I need to play more, but I just don't have the time...

So how does co-op work? When you join someones game you play as Dick... but does he have his own moves? Do you level him up and take that experience with you back to your game? How does it work guys?

Not sure about moves, but you do take back any progression to your own game. Also worth noting that any missions/chapters you complete with your friend will be completed in your own game when you return. So if you've just started, but finished chapter 2 with a friend, you'll have the option to skip chapter 2 in your own game...

So I'm guessing Dick has his own level up points to use as well and they just perhaps mirror Nicks when you move back to single player and take the states with you? Sound about right? I'm and with you here, haven't had alot of time to play this.

Is there any sort of statistics page to see how long you've been playing and the like?
Really fun game. There is so much content it's hilarious. I didn't even know there was such a thing as timed achievements until I checked my app. They need to tell people about these things! Only thing I wish is that there was a little better explanation or at least documentation on how to do stuff. Tutorials that tell you how to do stuff right in the middle of action are really tough. That's a really small issue though.
On the game's brightness, did anyone else have to crank it several notches up during the test? I'm wondering if it's my TV or just the game but I couldn't make out the image until I was a couple away from the brightest edge.

Just got my copy of DR3 today from Amazon. Buying an Xbone just to play this really, no system yet as I'm waiting for Amazon to restock since I get 3% back and no tax from Amazon. =[ Btw, wtf the disc is on the wrong side of the case!

Yeah I want to know the answer to this too. It's advancing for me also, what happens when it gets to the end of the 6 days on normal mode?? Do you get to do a restart+?
Well should we play this game in 720p or 1080p? Because the clear UI is only in 1080p. I also did some comparisons with the gamma:
I decided to go the extra mile of doing different gammas from 6 to 10:
6:
7:
8:
9:
10:
Yeah I noticed the exact same thing.
maybe the capture device you run the signal through messes things up? no idea how you could solve this other than what I wrote. With the brightness that high you lose image quality as other stuff get's blown out, typical black crush problem - normally solved for not using full rgb and calibrating your tv.
But these shots are RGB Limited, though I think my capture card isn't the greatest, it's why I'm getting a new one soon.
I'll try with my Elgato tomorrow, have not hooked it up yet.

The pictures I posted in earlier here were from the Elgato and as far as I know default settings.

Do it. It's the most fun I've had with a game in a long, long time.
You have an Elgato? Sweet.

Just beat the game on nightmare mode and the Mega Man X costume isn't in my closet :/
Isn't it a weapon?
Chance Hale
Member
You're right, woo! Xbuster in my inventory. So I suppose I now have to beat the game in story mode to get the actual costume? That's kind of bullshit.

I thought you get Mega man suit on normal and the megabuster from nightmare.

Wonder if I can just replay chapter 8 via chapter select to get it
Chance Hale

The megabuster is absurdly powerful. Just went from level 39 to 50 via combos in 2 minutes. Hilarious.

For people like me who played on Nightmare mode only, completing the last chapter via story mode chapter select will get you the Mega Man X costume.
I was on two slots of health and had to run through hordes of zombies during night time. I fought my way through it with a shitty axe and made it barely out of it after geting grabbed two times. Then Nick said "Let's not do this again" - I was awestruck because the game said what I thought. Also I laughed my ass off afterwards. I love this game.

Continue on with the main story.
I like that he actually kind of talks to himself. I put on an S&M outfit and he said something along the lines of, "Well, that didn't work out."
I guess that's what I get for dicking around for too long and forgetting what the mission was. Thanks.

I microwave steaks.
Made a clip show of all the glitches I've encountered so far. Upload studio is so nice. BTW the last clip shows the gluttony character so spoiler alert if you care.
Getting farther in the story and I'm surprised that

They're actually tying together a lot of Dead Rising 1's plotpoints. It was pretty awesome to see Frank West and Chuck Greene statues in the museum. Oh and god damn does Isabella look different.

Ok the Chinese guy with the epic weapon had me laughing pretty hard that was hilarious. The comedy in this game is spot on.
