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
