Great story, good twist on history...but borrrrring!

I realized after finishing this what I didn't like about Dead Rising. It stresses me out when I can't get everything done in time, even when it's impossible to do so.

That's why I always focused on just a few things each playthrough in Dead Rising. Then it's not stressful at all.

A single play for saving all survivors, another for the calls from Otis, another for doing all the case files, etc.

...and then I feel guilty when people die. I want to be SuperSasha.

It's not impossible it just requires better knowledge of the map and good time management. I'm playing the original again and all its doing is strengthening....

I know what you mean. At some point I wish there was more time to just run around and safe fuck the story line.

...my belief that the sequel will be truly magnificent. I will agree that it isn't for everyone. At least you got a cheap taste and can make an informed decision on DR2.

Funny you should say that. The achievement "Frank the Pimp" is actually easier if you kill a majority of the survivors.

I didn't dislike Case Zero, not at all. I really think that it's done well, and will be a great game, but not for me.

I still have the original, but couldn't remember why I didn't want to replay it. It's because the idea of replays is in direct opposition to the idea of an apocalypse.

And I think the one for calls for Otis is too. It's been a while.. But the game has a simple formula for how many cases you can have, and killing people ends the case.

I mean, I really like apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic media, film, books, etc. But the thing is that it's so final, and how the people act is so important.

A game where you have to replay feels wrong, but it's an opinion. I'm sure others like the idea of taking that scenario and letting you choose your own way.

Dead Rising was never supposed to be a serious, emotional game ... it's about trying different things. Embrace replays and Dead Rising is an easy 2000 TA game.

(But I guess, in that sense, take away the achievements and let me just play it. This is one game where I think achievements hurt the premise.)

How I would like to play this.... again you fail me Microsoft!

You can always save "Saint" for last like I did. Then you'll end the game on a high note (sort of, you won't get the best ending. Getting the best ending and all ...

survivors saved is impossible IIRC. In that way it is realistic - you can't win at everything).

Couldn't disagree more. I never would have tried a ton of the stuff in DR if it weren't for achievements.

Dead Rising gets better as you play it more. The PP levelling system adds massive replayability and as you level up the game becomes easier and more fun/less tense.

This game seems to be a hotbed of discussion right now. I LOVE DEAD RISING! I'm actually waiting in Carlito's Hideout right now waiting for Overtime Mode!!!

RIGHT NOW!

Dead Rising defiently needed to grow on me, but I can't deny my love of the game anymore. I really felt they improved zombie and survivor AI. I also like the Home Alone..

from the Genesis feel. I love the combo weapons.

There's no such thing as "an easy 2000TA game." Unless you meant DR is one of the easier games with that value. But heck, X-Blades takes vastly less time.

Not liking Case Zero probably puts you in the minority, but fuck it, who cares?

If you had another person join I'd be jealous. I waited in the god damn lobby for nearly 3 hours.

Got lucky... Bogeygolf messaged me out of the blue and asked if I wanted it. Start, click. :-D

Lucky! I got so bored ;-;

I have that game. I could have helped :P

Ahh Alpha Site, good times

You woulda picked this up during Endure.

Thanks to ODST'S beyond awesome servers, I got to play Alpha Site like 10 times more than anyone should ever have to

Oh fuck I forgot about that. Sasha I have to warn you, I can only handle so many disconnects before I will say "fuck it" during Endure runs.

I disconnected on the final wave, you'll probably think im lieing but me and A Wise Soldier seriously did. \:

Ive also have been disconnected on the final wave. I was so happy I smashed a controller.

I've noticed on Bungie.net that there have been a lot of people with that problem. Too many people trying the same thing? Doesn't matter, looks like MS's fault.

And Alpha, I'm the same way. We were actually testing the waters for an Endure run (EPIC fail) then just decided to play through a full Firefight to 200k.

I DCed about 8-12 times before finally getting Endure. You only seem to DC when you're about to get the achievement, typically.

Oh well, makes it even more rewarding when you finally get it. Especially when you do it without losing a single life.. xD

Never disconnected, we had some lagg spikes though...

Maybe it's just where I live, but Live has been sloooooooooooooooooooooooooooow lately. Regular PC stuff is fine (Netflix streaming, etc.) but Live has been cranky.

That was fast

Good job!

Sooooooooooo much win going on with this game, for five dollars this better be the top selling XBLA of all time

I can't find your status to comment on it, either way, you're welcome! :-p

Session for the day Reach comes out. With any luck, most of the hardcore 3 players will be on Reach MP instead. Great time to hit ranked playlists!

Use the language trick, then no worries about Halo players

That works to a point, but this is going to be a special circumstance as well. Might as well hit it if possible.

That never works, cuz everyone thinks the same way. Like GTA4 got BUSIER when Modern Warfare 2 came out

Yeah, but that was a different title. This is the same brand... all the fanboys are going to skip 3 for a day while they bust through their Legendary campaigns and MP.

good thinking, i think it has a great chance of working. worth a shot.

If you do use the language trick make sure everyone involved is only 5 ranks from you instead of 10. Ive done this a couple of times so if you have a question ask away.

NOW WE PLAY!

Unlike the other, this was a completion. :-D Is there anyway to make these green instead of pink?

You are stuck with the Deadly Pink Mist!

hahaha... I posted about it in the wishlist.

Why not white or grey or yellow? pink is too close to red...

White would be odd to work on this site, but Grey would be okay. And Yellow just gives the wrong impression.......

Pink is the normal color for someone earning an achievement that you don't have. So yeah, why pink? I figure green is better, unless it's a fail.

Oh, I posted that Reach Day session we talked about.

I hope this doesn't end up my 50th completion... was more painful than expected.

I think you're safe, you are currently sitting at 49.

I just thought I was at 49. Bad news... I guess 50 will be Ice Age. I want to finish it before I return it. Grrr.

:-p

have fun with one of the egg roll challanges, UBER annoying.

I think I decided fuck it. I want to play real games. Ice Age can go the way of the dodo.

And fuck my % on that game. Fun is greater than grind.

YES! Totally... I say this as I keep trying to get Wedding Crasher........

For some reason, I had WAY more problems with the Scrat side scrolling challenges than the Egg Roll ones
