zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..........

3 AM to noon? Try 10 PM to 7 AM, you pussy.

Those the hours of your new job?

Yeah. Sadly. But 9.15/Hour is better then the 0.00/Hour I've been making the last 6 months, so I have to deal. XD

I hear ya bro. Obamanator will be gone pretty soon.

^ Dunno if that will make any difference, but it can't hurt.

I bet the achievements will still be there after the storm...maybe you should take cover or evacuate instead of playing video games?

South Carolina won't get TOO much of it, unless it takes a sharp left. Besides, I'll be at work while the worst is here.

I was in North Carolina about a month ago. Glad I'm back home where my power's safe :-D

Earl's gonna rock you like a hurricane.

Looks like Earl completely whiffed here in SC.

Your power isn't safe if you live in the US. I'm surprised the west coast doesn't lose power when the east coast gets a hurricane.

lol Off to a shaky start.

Once I realized I was playing DR1, only with sand, I figured I'd spend my first playthrough exploring the town and finding stuff before trying to save everyone.

I meant the misspelling of "perfect", but whatevs. I need to do my run as well. I've got a save point right after rescuing the pawn shop owner for clean up.

Like DR1, this game is all about knowing where teh phat lootz is. Paddlesaw magazine = hot zombie death.

And hot zombie death = win.

Yup. Add in a beer helmet and some spiked baseball bats and you are an invincible zombie killing tank.

the reason is the lack of microsoft points on my account. wanna buy some for me?

Hey, it's Mister Don't-complain-about-the-gold-membership-price-increase-just-skip-lunch-for-two-days! Suggestion: skip lunch for ONE day! XD

yes but i'm not complaining about it :)

My name is Classy (well, it really isn't but how cool would it be if it was?!) and I support this message.

Seriously the best 400 M$P I ever spent. Before this, I woulda said the best 400 was for half of the General Knoxx DLC.

So agree, it's weird to pay 5 bucks and have more fun than I've had on like 3/4ths of the games I've paid $60 for this year

I'm not oblivious to the fact that this is a way for Capcom to charge for a demo of sorts, but at least it's ORIGINAL content, very fairly priced, and just fun. Very fun.

Not a shot against Capcom. Quite the opposite. The Street Fighter crew hit gold with the whole "prequel" idea.

this looks good indeed, thx for the tip. I never played Dead Rising. Would this game spoil anything?

Case Zero? No. From what I can tell, you could completely skip DR1 and never know the difference, though you'd be missing one of 360's best.

with some of the best achievements to boot...

*nods* Even the spelling errors were classic. I'm still not sure I got the "ture ending". =D

This game is 100% more fun when you find the dress and woman's hat for your character. He even wears them in the cutscenes!

Case 0 is brilliant fun with replayability (it is a little short overall though), its' a bargain at 400MSP. Dead Rising is still the best game on 360 in my eyes....

....just be prepared for strange controls and an awkward save system.

That status seems familiar..... ;)

"dress and woman's hat" ain't my attire of choice. i walked around dressed as megaman. hoping there's a protoman outfit in DR2 since it was hinted at in case zero

There was a megaman outfit in Case 0?

Originally, I had the dress and the black cowboy hat but I swapped it for the ladies' hat. Sexy!

no the megaman outfit was in DR1.

I found a Protoman Cutout! :D

It's probably one of the best values on XBLA at 400 points.

=O I was gonna put that as my status! Oh well, I'm doing it anyway. =P

LOL, cool I'm a trend-setter. ;) And yeah, at 400MSP it's a steal.

Between the shouts-outs from you, Alpha, and about ten others, I gotta get it.

It's totally worth it. Did you ever play the original?

Good thing the original kicked ass anyway. =P

Except Otis.

Which part did you like best about DR? The annoying save mechanic, the convicts in the jeep, the rapidly degrading weapons or the hopeless survivor AI?

Otis was old and confused.

My favorite part was the unreadable text that was my impetus to buy an HDTV. Especially how it was combined with a lack of voice acting so you HAD to read the text.

The jeep convicts were easy to take care off. Ranged weapon or wait till they get stuck, and get int close for the kill. Degrading weapons encourages variety, nevermind

that you can stack books to have weapons that last forever. Survivor AI sucks, is much better in Case Zero. DR1 was awesome, DR2 looks to be even better.

Never got the deal with the save mechanic. It adds to the challenge. Once you know all the tricks Dead Rising is an easy game.

All zombies and psychos bowed down before the triple-booked Small Chainsaw and Real Mega Buster.

^ You basically need that, a health book or two and some wine. Then you proceed to utterly dominate everything in the game.

^ Just like real life! =D

Yeah, nothing wrong with a little challenge in a game. You had to be careful about saving. Plus, wacking someone with a mall bench or a mannequin torso was awesome

Honestly my only real big complaint in the original was the survivor AI. The save system could've been better & Otis got annoying but I could live with those.

I just get cranky when a game company takes an awesome idea like "zombies in a mall" and makes a meh game out of it. Honestly, DR should have been more like L4D.

I dunno, "meh" isn't the word I'd use to describe DR1. "Frustrating", "stupid achievements", "weird controls", etc, sure, but not "meh". Story was cool in it too.

http://www.gamerankings.com/xbox360/928326-dead-rising/index.html Just because you didn't like it Dr. Cheese doesn't make it meh.

And there's a mall in L4D2. So shush. =D

Oh come on all the cool kids use Metacritic: http://www.metacritic.com/game/xbox-360/dead-rising :)

Honestly DR is one of those polarizing games on the 360, pretty much it's in your top 10 or you border on hating it.

I definitely border on hating it. But I do realize that my opinion is just that, an opinion. I like a lot of weird games that other people hate. Yay for diversity.

Gamerankings is a sister site of Metacritic, without all the clutter of shit I don't care about. So =P.

LOL, well SOOOOOOOOOOOOOORYYYYYYYYYYY! :p

Alright, everyone can have their opinion and what not ... but stupid achievements? I think DR1 has the best achievement list ever. Very fun/creative.

Agreed, I loved DR's achievements. The 7-day survival one sucked due to crashes, but that wasn't bad achievement design, just poor quality control. :P

Actually I *hated* many of the DR achievements. 5/7 day survivor assumed you had no life, transmissionary was a major PITA, and rescue everyone sucked beacuse of poor AI.

I agree with Saint. But everything else was tons of fun to me. And 14 hours isn't that bad, you can just pause it and leave it till later, like I did.

Call me crazy, but I enjoyed damn near every second of Dead Rising.

Yes you can pause it, but you need to leave your 360 running for a minimum of 14 hours straight. With pauses you can add several hours on top of that. Stupid achievement.

And Alpha, we all already knew you were crazy a loooooooooooooong time ago. ;)

Crazy with POWER! XD

congrats!!!

Especially considering I still have 3 cities and the drum tour to do.

its hanging on for grim death on mine! such a great game!

finish lost planet. then you can bump it off

RB will be getting some more play from me too. With Reach coming out soon, I'll drop GF down to 1 at a time...that'll mean more RB time too.

Yeah, that's right. I need to put about 2 hours aside to finish Lost Planet.

Lost Planet: EC, Sasha? Or Colonies?

or LP2?

It'd take more then 2 hours for even Sasha to finish Lost Planet 2

Hell, I'll finish LP, Colonies, AND LP2 in 2 hours. :-D

There's Sasha for you! n_n

yeah then you can do it for the rest of us peons.

Yeah right. Do your own damn LP cheeves!

If the ratio is higher than 1.000000000001, Sasha can't hang. OHHHHHH, SNAP!

burn. fyi i am doing my own lp cheeves. gonna finish it before you do. but it'll take me more than 2 hours

Hey! My ratio is 1.43! That means that out of all the achievements out there, on average my achievements have been earned by less than half of those playing.

actually doesn't it mean the 57% have earned you ach's? 2.00-1.43=..57 (57%)

No. The ratio is the square root of [gamers played]/[gamers won]. So if half have it, the ratio is sqrt(2/1) = ~1.414. It's actually *possible* to have a ratio over 2.
