Dead Rising thread

that seems right

I'm in overtime mode now

>no greg
Ouch

>missed Greg

You literally the missed the only survivor in the game actually worth saving.

>Been enjoying DR1, felt like replaying Dead Rising 2
>Get it from Steam, install, and start it up
>No native windowed mode
>Option to enable controller is greyed out, online guides all say you have to install separate programs just to use a controller
>Try using one and game now just crashes on launch
What the fuck

what makes him so special? i got his shortcut but he died on the way back since i was running out of time
also
Mindy is the best

Pc master race

Oh well, if you got the shortcut then never mind.

Still pretty embarrassing though.

I updated the drivers on my controller and it worked fine without any seperate apps or programs. But you can use a mic if you do that. I usually join xbox parties with some friends since it works better than Steam chat plus we have a few friends who were stupid enough to buy a Xbone so they can join in. So if you are similar then remember you wont be able to chat. If you aren't a normie then its perfect for you.

I know right? I mean the only reason I was doing it on Steam is because a friend gifted it so I can stream it for them, but failure to support simple shit like that irks me something fierce.

Janet has the best sweater puppies.

Which controller are you using? I'm using an Xbox One wired but apparently the bone controller is the most problematic with DR2 from what I've been reading.

It takes 20 minutes for your bar to drain from full, so alt tab and set an alarm for 18 minutes after you eat something
Always have all 3 food books and cook all raw meat/uncooked pizza you get before they can spoil, its just about finding safe spots to sit and eat all the food you collect from psychos that spawn from time to time

Xbox One wired too man.
I'll try to have a go next Saturday thanks man.

I'll be playing DR2 in the mean time, I dont have 14 hours in the work week.

>Still pretty embarrassing though.
how? he's a idiot and i literally got there with less than 5 in game minutes before the medicine case expired

Fug

Tried updating drivers for it as well but the damn option just remains greyed out DISABLED in DR2's options menu. Guess I'm gonna be relearning this game on keyboard and mouse.

One piece of advice, don't tab out when you aren't in an actual safe spot, even if its just for a minute, them damn zombies can catch you a lot quicker than you think

About an hour away irl from getting 7 day survivor.
AMA

Here's a protip from a decade ago...

build a fort with props if you can't fund safe high ground and USE CASH REGISTERS

Cash registers make a loud ka ching sound when they break, which will let you know "o fug zomboni is attacking my fort"

That way you don't get your face munched on with 3 HP bars left and die 10 hours in

Did you fight motorcycle Isabella and ride the motorcycle around

Or spit on zombie Jessie?

How did you let him die? I literally don't even try to rescue any survivors at all but Greg still managed to follow me back to the security room so I let him live anyway.

Jesus christ.
The final boss in off the record in co-op on the ps4 is buggy as hell.

I have the real mega buster so Isabella on the bike was easy. She spawns in Al Fresca Plaza so I couldn't take it any where.
I pretty much followed this and did my own thing strategywiki.org/wiki/Dead_Rising/Infinity_Mode

> the bone controller

Dunno if this'll help, but uninstall the controller drivers, and install the 360 controller drivers? AFAIK that should let your controller work anyway and then X-input will be automatically used by DR2 and should find your controller that way.

Have you ever used one of those water flossers? I'm considering getting one, but I want to get opinions that aren't from dogshit Amazon reviews.

wrong thread?

You can drive it on the treadmill

>AMA
l ol

like 50hrs left and 25k more kills to go bois

Does anyone else remember the rumor that there was gonna be DLC stores you could download for the unfinished areas in North Plaza? Or am I just crazy.

That does seem like the kind of thing people would make up back in 2006.

i want to say that the area added in OTR was intended to be DLC originally, but either plans expanded beyond the scope of a then-allowable download or the tsunami queered things up

what do you do during 7 day survivir what's it about?
i have never done it

It's an achievement for surviving 7 days in Infinity mode, you get it after you complete Overtime mode (which in turn is unlocked by getting the "best" default ending), and it's practically a completely different mode where you fight most of the psychopaths in the game and even some survivors. The reason it's got some notoriety is that your health is constantly draining, so you have to constantly be finding food and can't just AFK the entire time.

>OBJECTIVE: Survive

>your health is constantly draining
what do you mean? how does it drain and how often?

one block of health drains every 100 seconds so you have to keep looking for food

Wouldn't that take around 7 hours in real life?

Fourteen.

7 day survivor is American Extreme mode for Dead Rising, you've gotta eat a whole Pizza every 4 in game hours or you'll starve to death
Lose 1 block of health every 1m40s continually, food doesn't respawn at all and all free food sites are disabled

>one block of health drains every 100 seconds so you have to keep looking for food
seems really hard and annoying

a in game day is 2 hours real time.
To get the 7 day survivor achievement, you need to survive for 14 hours irl

oh so one in game hour is 10 real minutes?

I just completed my first run, and Overtime too. I restarted once before the first case was finished though. I wasn't very nice to the survivors.

well I need about 50 more minutes and I'm done.

>Lose 1 block of health every 1m40s continually, food doesn't respawn at all and all free food sites are disabled
damn that sounds afwul any reward for doing it?

I can't remember correctly, but I think it's an outfit.

Funnily enough, the more useful unlock, the Laser Sword, is for 5 day survivor.

couldn't you just sit at one of things that has unlimited orange juice or pies?

you get a Lazer Sword and Arthur's Boxers from Ghosts n Goblins
Food is limited and doesn't respawn

Infinity mode disables/limits all unlimited food areas. The Grocery Store is completely closed and once you take out all of the food from the spawns, you're pretty much limited to the food that the survivors/psychopaths drop.

You mean other then being fucking megaman?

foods dont respawn
least not right away

I'm retarded and can't figure out how to get most survivors across even Paradise Plaza.

well can you at least save in that mode or no?

nope, system needs to be on the entire time

Noooope.

All one go, either one sitting or pause breaks.

are you supposed to dedicate a whole 72 hour playthrough to get the genocide trophy?

Yes

Nope, they're disabled and you can't even enter Seons food store.
Oddly enough that also prevents you entirely from using the maintenance tunnel to get to the North Plaza

mostly yes

Is the original game better than its sequels? I've played 2 and 3 and by god that was boring. What makes the first one so special?

Atmosphere, better protagonist, no combo weapons that trivialize the game from square one.

There are the mini-chainsaws but that's pretty much actively trying to cheat when you use them, and they also take up 4 spaces for essentially 1 weapon.

What the fuck is this guys problem?

He's lonely.

>he fell for the timed game meme
I love this episode

>got the genocide achievement
>killed my self and quitted the game
>you must get an ending to unlock the weapon in game, quitting doesn't count

>garbage ai
>garbage plot
>good gameplay

hmm

You keep cutting him off, asshole

>garbage ai ---
>garbage plot -
>good gameplay +++
>frank west +++++++
verdict: ++++++
hmmm

Most weapons are actually useful and the mall is way better designed.

Also the plot and themes are way more focused and explicitly anti-American.

I feel like I'm playing OTR the wrong way. I played 2 way back in the day and didn't struggle, but it seems this time whenever I fight a psychopath I tend to get my ass kicked. I end up beating them by throwing shit at them like a fucking slapstick movie.

Also, does the game crash for anyone else when you bring more than two survivors into the Platinum Strip? Lost a good 2 hours of progress there

FUCK FUCK FUCK my game crashed after I got 5k more kills since my last save

>>he fell for the timed game meme
>I love this episode
kill yourself

>weeaboo was the one who fell for it
How am I not surprised

It's like pottery

It has a amazing plot and great ai

Dead Rising 1 is amazing
Dead Rising 2 is damn good
Dead Rising 2 Off the Record is amazing
Dead Rising Chop Till You Drop is an abortion
Dead Rising 3 isn't very good

The quality of life changes that DR:OtR brought were just too good. I do wish that the whole series kept the same save system though. I hate that 2 introduced stagger save slots.

>>weeaboo was the one who fell for it
>How am I not surprised

stop using buzzwords and kill yourself if your over 18

How far would Dead Rising 4 shoot itself up in the ranking if it ended up pulling a MGS2 and secretly it was a movie set like it was rumored, and 1/4 of the way through the game you go back to old Frank.

>How far would Dead Rising 4 shoot itself up in the ranking if it ended up pulling a MGS2 and secretly it was a movie set like it was rumored, and 1/4 of the way through the game you go back to old Frank.
that would be hilarious and make it the second best game in the serias
to bad it would will never happen

Nice Reaction image desu

ty

I finally fucking did it

gratz user

how long is a 7 day playthrough?

Thanks man, I kept praying it won't crash...
Thank Based God

14 hours, I feel so relieved right now

I just had my first crash trying to do the genocide :|

I think I'll try again tomorrow

Since it was so damn cheap I bought two copies of Dead Rising 2 Off the Record, how is the coop? Can someone start from scratch with a friend and finish the game?

...

just... dont use the stagger saves....

I can't snipe those helicopter pilots.

There's 2 pilots, and I shoot each one in the center of the head multiple times, but they don't do anything.

so to get the mega blaster after you get all the kills you just have to wait at the helipad at the end right?

yup

I'M GOING FOR IT

;_;

Six didn't deserve to go out like that

4 spaces gives you "27" minichainsaws. its broken as shit

Just finished Dead Rising 2 for the first time ever after 100% DR1, didn't get hooked like I did with DR1 so I don't particularly feel like replaying it, should I still at least go for DR2's Saint or go straight into Dead Rising 3?

Well i just beat the normal game and got the true overtime ending what should i do now?
what's overtime and infinity mode?

>Not taking TWO mini-chainsaws
At least if you're going to go that route go all the way.

>tfw no free time to go for 7 day survivor

Dead Rising 2 is way way way better than 3 but do whatever you want

How the fuck did you not get Saint on your first DR2 playthrough if you're at all capable of doing it in DR1?

All the survivors have a bajillion hitpoints and walk through zombie mobs like bulldozers. And there's like 75 of them.

I was fucking around not doing side-scoops is an acceptable answer

>>tfw no free time to go for 7 day survivor
feels good being a neet

Achievements actually mean something when you have to work for them.

>All the survivors have a bajillion hitpoints and walk through zombie mobs like bulldozers. And there's like 75 of them.
>I was fucking around not doing side-scoops is an acceptable answer
holy shit really? it's been forever since i played dead rising 2

Mainly Chuck being abysmally slow and me wandering about a bit to get comfortable with the layout of the map and get some money. Also psychopaths kicking my ass because even the knife gloves don't come close to the fuckhuge damage weapons you can get in DR1.

feels bad being a neet

I'm burned out on DR1 for now

Wilemett is so much better than dead rising 2s map

>Mainly Chuck being abysmally slow
is he really that slow?
i need to know before i get the game and end up hating it

>tfw i had a recording of me blindly throwing a queen down the maintenance tunnel and getting exactly to 53,594 with it
>tfw crashed during that recording so the file corrupted

>feels bad being a neet
need to find some more things to do senpai

That it is, lets hope DR4 doesn't ruin it.

aim for the rotor

Does this game have a NG+? Turns out I'm gonna have to miss the clown and the grocery store boss battles so I don't miss some super short main mission time window with the security office....

q u i c k s t e p

new players are intended to NG+ multiple times before getting good game-clears. restart whenever, and focus on gitting gud. eventually you'll

Chuck is really fucking slow in DR2, even the speed boosts from leveling will barely give you Frank's speed after he levels up speed once, I guess it was to encourage the use of

>q u i c k s t e p
yeah but is he as fast as frank without it?

in OTR there are "race" type challenges in sandbox mode which all essentially boil down to
Bronze - Bad Player
Silver - Good Player
Gold - Player using Quickstep

I'm surprised this isn't posted more often.

Reminder the timer in Dead Rising is never paused outside of the last sequence in Overtime and starts immediately. If you idle with Carlito until the fourth day without moving, you will receive a cutscene where he slits your throat and Brad, Otis, and Jessie fleeing the town on foot. Brad doesn't make it and the other two are picked up by the military.

cool

fuck i don't remember that
i don't think i can even play dead rising 2 anymore it sounds like shit after reading all of this

is there a video?
i can't find one please post it if you have it

You don't fool me

so the guy was lieing?

Did Dead rising take any inspiration from dawn of the dead?

That's some mega weak bait.

THIS IS FUN

I AM ENJOYING MY TIME REVISITING THIS GAME

Yes, and the copyright holders of DotD came after Dead Rising with a lawsuit. They lost but they put a sticker on the... PAL cover, I think.

A while down the line a fan asked Romero to sign his copy of Dead Rising and, talking to him, found out Romero had no idea this had happened, or that DR existed, and thought the idea of a DotD video game sounded fucking rad.

Romero's alright.

With the Sniper Rifle? This is pretty difficult.

Dead Rising 1 is better than Dawn of the Dead

shoot it with the RMB once or twice. when it flies toward you just throw a bunch of blasts where its going to be in a few seconds. ezpz

GIT
GUD

Did you ever think the plot of Dead Rising was fucking retarded with the zombie wasps and get freaked the fuck out knowing such wasps DO exist

holy shit i just now realized that
which version of the movie should i watch?

>zombie wasps exist
No sir we certainly don't exist.
The closest thing to those zombie wasps are the ones that lay eggs in caterpillars/spiders and that doesn't zombify the bug.

>didn't get BILL

The plot of Dead Rising is 10/10

there are wasps that zombify cockroaches to become their slaves

>we

>No sir we certainly don't exist.
>The closest thing to those zombie wasps are the ones that lay eggs in caterpillars/spiders and that doesn't zombify the bug
they keep moving on to bigger things i heard they have started turning small animals into zombies
they will get to humans eventually

Thats the game though, all those fucking speedbumps are what make it interesting, at least to me, in later games when they are more competent the game goes smoother, and theres less unpredictability to situations and hurdles to jump, it just become routine.

They're two completely different mediums.

dead rising is better than down with the sickness (jazz redux)

literally the only thing similar is that there are fucking zombies in a mall
that's the best place for them not there fault someone made a movie about zombies in a mall first

>They're two completely different mediums.
still comparable

Only really by personal enjoyment, which is pretty subjective.

Zombies in a mall, over the top gore, a message about consumerism, bleak endings.

Which is your favorite part of the map in dead rising?
it's definitely the North Plaza for me

>bleak endings.
the ending for Dawn of the Dead was way way way worse

I haven't played DR in years.

What was the deal with the wasps again?

If you want to deeper, the "happy" ending for both of them feels completely tacked on and fake.

Day one Paradise plaza is quite nice, and I think Al Fresca gets too much hate, it has a respawning Uzi that is easy to find and get, (unlike other weapons), the gym is surprisingly safe, has a great view and near some nice weapons (dumbbels and chainsaw)

Frank is a great protagonist.

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEELL

Jumping from DR1 to DR2, the most jarring difference is the cutscenes. There aren't anymore unnecessarily long pauses and strange gesturing and it loses a lot of the adorably campy charm.

I felt like Dead Rising did it better

>we

Do I get anything special if I manage to get everyone killed?

The smug satisfaction of knowing that the AI got what it deserved for being so shitty.

...you're aware the 2004 Dawn of the Dead is a remake of a superior 1979 horror classic, right?

You're not THAT fucking underage, are you?

Is it possible to get Otis killed?

homie I'm pretty sure that guy is being insincere with you

who /oldmanfrank/ here?

At least once you survive for 5 days in infinite mode the sword shows up without having to end the game so you can use it for your last two days.

Didn't they weld the security room door shut? How'd all these zombies get in?

This is why I like the 7 day survivor trophy so much. It requires dedication, determination and a lot of skill too (every time you lose a block of health to a zombie or psychopath that's 20 minutes off your time). Anyone that has the trophy is a real nigga.

One day I will too

the military broke it in
but still how would a zombie be able to get in a locked door?

I am tired of these muthafucking zombies;
I this muthafucking mall!

Run to the stairs you dumb muthafucker!

I love that the PS4 takes screenshots when you earn trophies.

nice new assets Capcom

Why did they ruin franks waifu?

I have the old Dead Rising 2.
Should I bother with the re-release?

You can murder him in infinity mode but apart from that, no

Not only is it a new model, it's even a new texture that just looks similar.

answers.com/Q/How_did_frank_west_in_deadrising_get_infected?#slide=1
Goes into some good details

Shes like a grown woman wearing children's clothes.

>capcom

There's blatantly reused assets that all the games share. Chalk it up to just generic video game corner cutting.

>took away the tassels

Wow, not only did they reuse it, they also made it less fun in the process.

I also tried going back to play DR2.. i regret it. It was boring as fuck i just couldn't enjoy it

It seems I have quite some free time before doing "The last resort", what could I do in the meantime?
>27 hours and 39 minutes until chopper arrives

I guess I am going to the Wonderland plaza for those guys, and check out the blender.

Fine, Capcom Vancouver then. happy?

I'm never happy

There are story missions up until around 14 hours before the chopper shows up, so you might as well do them and then alt-tab for an hour while you sit next to Isabella just to talk to her at 10 and then go to the helipad so you can get a really bad series of fetch quests and the real ending.

They always do it
fuck sulivan

Why would anyone ever be happy when discussing DR4?

You'll get outfits/achievements if you
>kill enough soldiers
>fight the helicopter
>spend an entire machine gun magazine without missing a shot (it might be the smg but I'm pretty sure it's the one the soldiers use)

it looks and runs a lot better
wait for when it goes on sale
and get dead rising 1

This is true.

are you trying to upset me user

I'm not really surprised or upset, I'm just sad that companies will still immediately date their games in this fashion.

I'm so glad I read up that you actually had to finish the game first

I'm excited for dead rising 4.

>the profile pictures at the bottom
What even is twitter

Should I go to the gun store to get something or can I fetch it from soldiers?

It's aesthetic

Is OTR just a bad port? In the Strip and Uranus Zone I get huge fps drops for no reason. It's not even the zombies that cause the lag either.

It upsets me to
fuck the faggot that kills off all of the qts

DR2/OTR might be better gameplay experiences, but their porting is garbo because they were done by a worse dev team with significantly less focus on what amounts to only Microsoft hardware unlike DR1.

It's something to do with the lighting or some particle shit, I think.

...

>I'm excited for dead rising 4
you have terrible taste

Frank West really is a ladies' man. Look at the amount of tits in those profile pics at the bottom.
One seems to actually be naked.

the only reason why chuck is slow is due to you having to buy the dlc which grants faster movement speed
That shit pissed me right off

>What even is twitter
i never learned how to use twitter
i seriously don't even know what to do on it

People nowadays mostly use it to get mad at politics. It's where Cred Forums and Tumblr go to have their slapfights.

>the only reason why chuck is slow is due to you having to buy the dlc which grants faster movement speed
are you fucking serious? that's retarded

It doesn't bother me that much as everywhere else is pretty smooth but it would be nice to fix it. I doubt that it's possible though.

The game runs fine for me everywhere except the cutscenes, which have horrible stuttering. It's certainly a weird one. I get that they're in-engine and not prerendered, but why 3 people talking in a room is more taxing than roomfuls of zombies and action going on is beyond me.

ITT: Characters that didn't deserve it

What is the best way to get cash? I've just been whacking slot machines for an hour and have just over $600,000. Is there a faster way?

Post 'em anons

...

Does it at least make him as fast as maxed out frank?

retirement funds, dipshit.

I think getting books and gambling at that big machine. That's what I remember doing.

Yes.. Its called dead rising 2 skills pack there ae some that are fucking awesome like the ninja skill makes you almost invisible to zombies.. etc and the sports pack.. stops you from getting sick from alcohol and a 3x speed boost. FOR $3.99
deadrising.wikia.com/wiki/Sports_Skills_Pack

yes

I believe the best way is to gather up all the gambling magazines then play the big pink slot machine in the Slot Ranch Casino.

Also combine a computer with a flashlight to get a Money Hacker which makes slot machines drop more money when you zap them.

Thanks!

>Yes.. Its called dead rising 2 skills pack there ae some that are fucking awesome like the ninja skill makes you almost invisible to zombies.. etc and the sports pack.. stops you from getting sick from alcohol and a 3x speed boost. FOR $3.99
>deadrising.wikia.com/wiki/Sports_Skills_Pack
that's fucking bullshit that shit should be unlockable

>3x speed boost
does that make him faster than frank?
it seems like a lot

I would imagine so.. I never bought the skills packs :/
Well at least is off the record you can collect them

I am doing bomb collector, Carlito ran me over but he got stuck with the carts, I dont have any firearm can I take him down or should I?

Chuck Green is underrated he is great

You can melee him if you hit him through the driver's side window. Technically, it's canon that you do since otherwise you're missing out on a cutscene that gets a follow-up when you finish the mission.

better than the guy from 3 who's name I can't even remember

latino man

>bombs me
>frees himself
>1 HP block remaining
>still 4 bombs to go
Could it be any worse?
>get a call that Kindell is riling up the survivors
Could it get any worse?

Whiny little bitch man.

Nick the Spic if I don't google it.

Are you using a car to get around the tunnels? The motorcycle in the parking lot outside should easily last you long enough to get 3 of the bombs and then you can go get a fresh one so that it doesn't break down and leave you stranded. Carlito tends to get hung up like the convicts a lot.

>Listen to Cred Forums
>Play Off the record
>Every weapon feels like garbage comparred to DR1
>Weapon swings are slow and barely move you forward
I dont get this, i thought this was supposed to be the second best dead rising game

Why did Frank turn into such an asshole after DR1? At least during the time before he seemed to mellow out in Case West.

That's just how 2 & OTR feel.

Regular weapons are fairly gimped so that you're forced to use the NEW AND IMPROVED COMBO CARDS HAHA HOW WACKY AMIRITE GUYS?! What weapons now lack in speed they tend to make up for in sheer AoE potential.

because Frank West's meme status overshadowed what the character actually represented in the original game

>i thought this was supposed to be the second best dead rising game
It is. DR1 is just on a whole different level.

Use emergency exists to get around, dont walk around on foot in the tunnels
>pick up maintenance key
>use bike to get 1-2 bombs, use emergency exits to reach the rest of the bombs by traversing the mall instead of the tunnels when the bike is destroyed
Each stairwell leads directly to each bomb, problem youll have is that Carlito will often be barrelling down the tunnel towards you as soon as you step into the tunnel.

I got the tunnel key and infact intend to get a car, like a fool I followed the path that the game recommended which did not place me around any car.

What's this shit about remakes for DR2 and OTR?
Or is that a console thing?

They re-released Dr2 and OTR for xbox one
Its not a remake, its not an HD improved textures

Its just the same game but on the xbox one digital library

Use the map for traversing the tunnels because everything looks the same and you'll just get lost. Make sure that you don't push your vehicle too hard because they do all break after a certain number of zombie hits, but they also respawn when you reenter an area just like everything else in the game.

>Look up the leaderboards for infinity mode on PS4
>Top is 16 days

Why would you do that to yourself

Aww.
I was hoping they'd do something about the wack shmaky lighting in DR2

I assumed it was because he was infected but also got stupid fucking rich until it started going downhill.

It was basically any combination of fame and popularity going to his head. Him being self-centered doesn't make a lot of sense to me since I always try to save everyone I can, but I can see how you can read it the other way.

>I've covered whores you know

Chuck and Frank are an 11/10 duo, but Frank alone is better than Chuck alone, even if I did like his dad one liners.

How do you go downhill from being filthy rich

Seriously?

I don't know if it's technically canon since I've never been able to play Case West, but before OTR, it showed how he just declined in popularity and lost his show, and Zombrex was stupidly expensive.

>cover wars
>get rich
>spend all the money without covering more wars to compensate
>public forgets about you entirely just like they did the Willamette incident because lel consumerism

At first I thought the game was too hard.
But then I killed the clown and everything became too easy.

Post your OTR Franks!

Personally, I'm a fan of the default suit and the dino mask. OTR Frank is clearly able to handle himself after getting through Overtime mode, but time has snapped and manifests as a dinosaur mask. He's competent, but there is clearly something wrong with the man.

>Holding the toy book, carpenter book, and then sharp weapons book with clown chainsaw

BTFO

>Avoided the clown because I was too low and remember it being difficult
>lose like 4 survivors because time ran out
>no more mini chainsaw for that playthrough
Mannequin torso is better

Mannequin torso just feels so less cheaty, and you can actually focus on using other weapons than JUST the chainsaw.

...

Its more a case of
>its right beside the elevator so theres a constant supply of them, could give a shit if Im over using it because Ill get 2 as soon as I return to HQ
>give them freely to survivors and they can wipe the floor with zombies
I want to do a run with no melee weapon, sounds more frustrating than its worth though.

At max throwing, gems are pretty effective.

Is Chuck still blamed for the outbreak in Fortune City in Off the Record or is the main story changed to just replace all instances of Chuck with Frank instead?

...

10/10

Chuck is a popular guy who was big enough to get his own type of show in the OTR universe but ends up losing Katie and going insane because of it. Beat for beat though, the story is just with Frank instead of Chuck.

Dead Rising 1 is the greatest thing in zombie media ever

Look up what Lindsey Lohan looks like now.

Should I get Dead Rising 2 or Off the Record?

faggot guy

Off the Record is strictly a better version of 2.

Get a friend that has a 360 and play case west with him

It's certainly way up there but I don't think it beats Day of the Dead. Just shy of George Romero's best. Maybe on par with Lucio Fulci's better movies.

Because canadian faggots decided to make him that way

I was only level 7 when I killed him.
He got me the first time, but I went back and kicked his ass by stunlocking him and swiping at him with a knife

>Chuck and Frank are an 11/10 duo, but Frank alone is better than Chuck alone, even if I did like his dad one liners.
100% agreed user

>tfw you will never hang out with friends in the mall

Its such a fucking top tier place

I've not played Dead Rising since launch so it's faded from my memory, but I played through Off The Record recently and enjoyed it.

Would DR feel like a step backwards? What are the differences, mechanically, tonally or otherwise?

>BTFO
how exactly?
kill yourself you autist

Not really. Dead Rising's mall is more compact, game mechanics are simpler, it's the formula you experienced in 2 down to its raw essentials.

You'll probably enjoy it just as much if you don't mind the dumb AI.

DR is considered the best of all the games. That said, the AI in DR is fucking retarded, its a game mechanic in itself to try and get them to cooperate with what you are trying to do, at least it makes situations more dynamic and unpredictable.

So PS4 or PC?

only thing better about off the record is that Frank gets to save Rebbeca

back to where you came from

I have to disagree but oh well

Whatever you are confident in will run it better.

Gameplay-wise it's a lot more simple and the AI is leagues worse than in 2, but the game really shines in having memorable fights, characters, and that certain feel to it. The cutscenes waver on the border of poorly made and unintentionally hilarious to give it a beautiful campy feel and there isn't as much to feel overwhelmed by as there is in 2. You should give it a go, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was too much of a step backward for you.

>Its such a fucking top tier place
why hasn't that mall been created in real life?

Well fuck, my PC for sure but how bad/good is the PS4 port?

Im getting 50fps on the pc on a gtx 970

Very expensive plus the design of it is probably patented

>Would DR feel like a step backwards?
no it will feel like about 100 steps forward

...

>Would DR feel like a step backwards?
If anything it's the other way around. Apart from the survivor AI, OTR & 2 poorly imitate all the mechanics and features of DR1. Everything just feels off.

>Very expensive plus the design of it is probably patented
somone needs to make a kickstarter

Malls are a dying thing in America. Many hundreds of them are shutting down, and no new mall has been built in America since 2006.

I'd be more than willing to bet that it's fine. The game is 10 years old.

I was getting a smooth 60 on my 770 and ages old i5 CPU.

The ps4 port is amazing get it for ps4

>Dead Rising is a now a historical game

>Malls are a dying thing in America. Many hundreds of them are shutting down, and no new mall has been built in America since 2006.
what are you talking about?

wait a minute are you serious why?

Its good, stable framerate and good resolution. I have both versions, wanted to support the only good game in the series, seems indistinguishable to me. Either way youll want to play it with a controller, M+Kb controls arent great.

in infinity mode do you only have 1 life or what?

The point of a mall was to be able to buy all kinds of shit in a single place. Now online shopping and cheap/fast shipping has eliminated nearly any need for such a place.

PS4 it is. I like my recliner chair

...

Nigga, the internet and rise of the digital age. Kids don't go to malls to hang out anymore and all the potentially exotic things you could get from malls that you couldn't get from a local megamart can just be ordered at a fraction of the price. Malls were mainly about the experience rather than the actual shopping. That and department stores banding together.

Places like Walmart and Amazon has killed them for the most part.

7 Day Survivor is going to be infinitely harder on a console. On PC, you've got the power of Alt-Tabbing.

The zombies in DR2 are a scam. Watch how they get spawned into a crowd and just wander away in all directions. In DR1 they moved as one and shuffled around in swarms.

True but doesn't the game pause when you're at the home menu or it's suspended?

some user never watched the last third of Behind the Music

this makes me so fucking mad malls are so comfy i hate this

>I like my recliner chair
>not having your pc also hooked up to a flatscreen with wireless mouse and keyboard

Yeah but m+kb is awkward as fuck in a recliner

Fair enough. Back in the day, 7 Day Survivor was rough because the original 360s would actually start overheating if you left them on for too long, and 14 hours minimum for a cheevo was pushing it already.

Do you have to beat 7 day survivor in 1 setting or what? are you not able to quit or pause the game?

Thank you
the ai in dead rising 1 is way better

You can pause by letting it linger on the menu, but there's no saving. This means that you're looking at staying alive for 14 hours straight real time at the minimum. Also health's ticking down and food doesn't respawn.

>m+kb
what?

>food doesn't respawn.
how is there even enough to survive that long then?

So is it true that Frank West covered wars?

I regret selling my 360 so much
i had so many great memories

mouse + keyboard. How the fuck can you not figure that out?

Psychopaths and survivors all still spawn and are hostile to you, but they all also drop food. Basically it's just a game of planning out what food to eat when and minimizing the outside sources of damage. Honestly, with the proper guide, boredom is going to get you before anything else, hence, alt-tab.

...

Not really it's pretty comfy when you get used to it

Now that Dead Rising Remastered is out, I never have to get a 360 and it was the one game that tempted me to buy a 360 for years. Just rebuild your collection for other platforms.

>mouse + keyboard. How the fuck can you not figure that out?
never seen it shortened before

you must be new here

...

I just miss the memories of playing dead rising and Blue dragon all the time those and gta 4 are what is used to play

>alt-tab.
what does that do? wouldn't your hp still drain?

The only zombie attack I'm ever hit by, please nurf female zombies.

You might be a bit too young/naive for Cred Forums, buddy.

Playing OTR on PC, I don't remember having this much difficulty keeping survivors alive.

>I kill everything in our path
>Survivor still manages to find a zombie to grab him

>I kill nothing in our path and just run through them all
>Survivor gets swarmed and gang raped

>I give the survivor a broadsword
>Never uses it, just gets killed

>I give the survivor a shotgun
>Never uses it, just gets killed

>I find a safe place to give the survivor some orange juice
>Restores a tiny amount of HP

>Survivor gets grabbed
>Can't free him without hitting him too, for massive damage

Did they patch the AI and make it worse? DR2 never felt this bad.

i never come to Cred Forums first time i'v been here in months
i came back for dead rising

It does, but it isn't alarmingly fast. About 1 health block a minute. So for foods that heal you for your max health, you have to wait ~20 minutes to get their full effect. You're looking at killing a lot of time.

>You might be a bit too young/naive for Cred Forums, buddy.
>Cred Forums
>not a edgy normalfag teenager site

you could be Brad

*1 heath block every 2 minutes, my bad. 1 min 40 sec to be exact.

Holy shit I started playing OTR with my friend in co-op and it became so much funner. would recommend

I haven't sleep in 2 days fuck off

I wish he didn't die he was a badass

The 7 day survivor isn't that important, man

A decent co-op/multiplayer mode can turn even the most mediocre game into a decently fun time.

>friend

Just started. Everytime I melee a zombie, it hitches for a second.

Also what is the difference between arcade and classic aiming?

He literally did nothing wrong.

>rcade and classic aiming?
classic aiming is how it was on the original 360 you aim with the left stick
arcade you aim with the right stick
i'm not sure which i prefere

You can't save, your health goes down over time, and food doesn't respawn

>He literally did nothing wrong.
>murdering and eating people
>nothing wrong

The hitching is intended. It's called hit stopping and it's there to make each hit feel like there's weight behind it. It's kind of an odd design choice, but at least it wasn't just sloppy coding.

>You can't save, your health goes down over time, and food doesn't respawn

Damn. Don't remember it being there on the xbox version but I played that at release so long ago. I guess I'll get used to it.

Damn it the threads dying

WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE

I think it's mostly used on blunt weapons. Bladed stuff like the katana and the mini chainsaws don't have it.

>drink a spitfire right before the tank fight
>effect remains into the boss fight
>kill Brock with death loogies

If not there already then 360 emulation will be good for you to play Blue Dragon again in no time my friend

Jesus lurk before you post

Do I need to do anything other than talk to Isabella at 10AM for the true ending? Next step is just showing up for helicopter ride, right? I completely forgot.

Do I have 2 free hours to kill grinding soldiers and bees?

That's it. Her dialogue will change and that's how you know you're set for Overtime.

>the katana
anyone else here hate the katana?
Machete master race

Cool, thanks. I'm set to get best ending, level 50 and most survivors on my first playthrough in 10 years.

>If not there already then 360 emulation will be good for you to play Blue Dragon again in no time my friend
thanks user

Katana is so easy to get at every point in the game. Especially when you're stocking up on OJ. It was my go to weapon until I discovered mini-chainsaw+books.

Meat Cleaver is the best bladed weapon. Such a shame that it's one of the last ones you get.

No idea if you're still here, but watch both the 1978 and 2004 versions. Apart from having people trying to survive a zombie apocalypse in a mall, the movies are very different. Both are solid movies in their own right.

Snyder should stick to campy horror and not try to direct above his own weight. The pseudo-intellectualism he injects in superheroes is so dull.

Thank you user

this fight is gnarly, and I don't use that word lightly

got a texas chainsaw massacre vibe

it only has one attack and it's vertical and it feels slow
it should at least have a horizontal attack

The really strange gesturing and overly long pauses still give me a tickle every time.

>superheroes

>got a texas chainsaw massacre vibe
so did i

Yeah, he's developed his own style or whatever too much. Dawn of the Dead doesn't really feel like a Snyder movie outside of the little slow-mo bits here and there and it's much better for it.

>someone kickstarts the Willamette mall

RIP Paul, you were just a sperg out of your element.

Worst part is the options aren't even in the main menu.

What the fuck is that all about?

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who threw the fire exstinguisher at Paul on accident.

Post your fucking face when mirrored sunnies actually have real time reflections

Its some cubemap thing they used. Its noticeable on cars. Which it switches between areas sometimes flickering between 2 or more areas.

he was pretty cool in off the record though

>DR2
>DR2 OTR
>Case West
>Case Zero

What the fuck was going on with DR2? I just finished DR1 for the first time and I was curious as to where to go next, how did some of this not get ported over when it serves as a prologue and epilogue?

Does DR1 have a New Game Plus? Am I going to get fucked in the ass by not playing it perfectly my first time? If my stats don't carry over I am going to freak out.

There is a NG+. You keep all your stats.

Would someone just cosplay frank west,and do dumb shit? would someone eventually kill eachother,if its just Cred Forums anons?

Just waiting 12 hours for the chopper to arrive

When does this cunt phone you for overtime mode?

im growing tired of disembowelling umbrella soldiers

she doesnt

you have to know when to do it :)

The game actually fully expects you to get your ass handed to you on your first playthrough.

I fucked up with the timing on one mission

i restarted and i was still the same level.

you should all do "girl hunting" as soon as it appears

Dead Rising is meant to be played through multiple times

How's the third game? Does it have any story?

OTR is a non-canon story where Frank West makes an appearance at Paradise Mall.

Case Zero and Case West are the canon side-stories for the original DR2, where you play as Chuck.

>3rd game
dont bother, you play as a complete fucking faggot

>Frank is all whoa that'd some shit which is understandable seeing as this was the first big out break
>Chuck doesn't seem to give a fuck
>Nick who grew up with zombies cries like a little bitch at the sight of them

Nick feels like the type of character that would have panicked, run into a horde of zombies and died.

I dont know why but its like they are WAY weaker on the PC version. I had no problem on the 360 and would just run to doors and wait for the survivors to arrive. They get caught and die in seconds to even a single zombie. I just saved who was smart enough and let the stupid ones die.

>Have to fight psychos to get the big healing items.

It gets smashed down by the military, in overtime mode its actually open like it was right at the start of the game

What is best DR1 mask?

> Servbot
> Horsehead
> Bear Head

fuck that boss fight

wait you can drive in DR1?

Im stuck on that mission fucking motorcycle chick

I really hope I don't run out of time like I did on medicine run

yeah you need to do that mission soon as possible, that big ass timer counts for the next part aswell

grab a shotgun or a sword from the shop near the boss fight.

>still no case west on PC

What the fuck is happening on the cover
I never understood what's going on here. Is he jumping out of a worm hole?

Any word on a save importer like for Dragons Dogma? I only ever beat it once and got the best ending so I never bothered playing it again, but I would love to do a NG+ on PC with my old save.

last time i played it was 10 years ago

i got it the remaster and i finished it in 2 days, overtime and everything with level 45

get going user, dont be lazy its easy.

dang, they could of atleast went for a system like in FE where you can "bookmark it" but it deletes after reloading

So I read that Dead Rising 2 and 3 both have jump scares, does the first one have any? I can't handle this shit, please no bully.

Just play it again, it doesn't take long at all.

>heather and sister

I just let that bitch die after she leaves her sister

I always assumed it was him bursting out of the horde like when you have to make a save and he pushes them all away, and the lighting was just for a e s t h e t i c s

one or two, its not even that bad you weak fuck

dead rising 2 OTR jump scare is great, dont be a BABY

2's jumpscares are just dead zombies that grab you with a scarechord.

Dead Rising 1 has no jump scares and 2 has very few, none of which are scary at all

I'm still playing through 2 for the first time but I'll probably just do a new playthrough when I get it then.

hockey mask
git gud

I'd rather play as Frank than the other guy so OTR is appealing to me, but as I'm now invested in the overall story I'm concerned about OTR being non-canon. That said, I'm on PC so I won't even get to see Case West unless I hunt down a 360.

What do?

>That big ass timer counts for the next part aswell
>I discovered this was a thing during the bomb run part and was dicking around the whole time

>I'm concerned about OTR being non-canon
fuck canon

I had a moment of retardation and didn't think to use the extinguisher, so I threw milk and OJ at him till he died

Is there a way to skip the intro bits?
I'm fucking sick of having to re-do everything up untill back-up for brad

Those come standard in OTR, you unlock them by finding parts around the map.

Another reason why OTR is objectively superior.

>i found the disqus.TXT twitter account

HOLY SHIT that place is a goldmine

neet bux

>Frank's a hardened reporter, so he's well-braced for even zombies
>Chuck has more important things to worry about, and he's tired of everything
>Nick has a childhood trauma

That's my guess; I only played 1, 2, and OTR

So, is Justified about Carlito?

uhhh

>wanting to use a controller

Your fault, m8.

World record is 18 days, or 34 hours.

Use ds4 for windows and a wired connection

bluetooth fucked up my game.

Just completed it. Brock was much easier than i remembered. actually i remember him smashing my ass when i was a kid doing that fight

Whats that in real time

34 hours I think

34 hours of continuous game play.

Thats fucking right off it

youtube.com/watch?v=2P-QjMDduBE

One day in game is 2 hours real time, so the guy had to play for 36 hours real time.

Fucking hell. I really want to try this at some point but have other obligations. I miss being a NEET sometimes. This is an achievement that is actually worth some merit.

>that filename
God FFIX is such a shitty game

>tfw Case West would have been a better Overtime mode than the one we got in DR2

So does anyone remember their first reaction to ending A?
I remember on my first playthrough getting it and screaming "this can't be it...Jesus fuck this can't be it"

Than Overtime mode came along.

Bear.
youtu.be/FBCjs3Q38Yo

Overtime mode was a letdown. Just a collectathon with no risk except for SF soldiers that you can cheese with manso and added tedium by looking for queens. Nectars help, but it takes a while for the ffect to wear off so you can drink another ome.

My first reaction was about 4 hours ago, and I was absolutely gutted. Thought I'd missed something to cause it and also devastated that Frank was just giving in.

The last boss fight was fucking shit

Ok, I honestly really love this game and I know the pc port has reawakened interest but there is a board for continuous threads about the same game.

Just make a /vg/ thread already.

This game is surprisingly somber.

Dead Rising 1 had that good balance of seriousness versus silliness that the later games just couldn't match.

Maybe's a Japanese thing.

wait is the gun shop the one with the chainsaw boss

if so i am fucked

if all you have left to do in OT is get queens then they should be spawning with insane frequency in all areas. sometimes the maintenance tunnel horde near north plaza contains 6 or 7 of them, so I wouldn't really call that tedium.

saints row 1 is the only reason Im tempted to get a xbox

sr1 port when

The story itself is told completely seriously, while side activities can be fairly silly
A game that had a similar thing going was Saint Row 2, the story missions in that were 100% serious all the damn time while it was fun times in the activities.
It's not a jap thing, it's a good game design thing.

>Dead Rising thread
>still no guru
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

You can put the PS4 on rest mode and it won't interrupt the game, how is that harder

chainsaw boss? Adam

I dunno what you mean but the gin shop is in North plaza and is the most norther shop

there is a single, thin corridor heading to it

I thought Carlos was a dick the first time I fought him, but the more I found out about him the more I sympathised with him. Especially since I was escorting around guys like Ronald who constantly bitched about being hungry.

>intentionally triggering ptsd
I mean, once you get the hang of them they're a walk in the park, but that first encounter is literal rape

dont think i have ever beaten the machete man without the 50 cal turret. Best theme too

Different development, if im not mistaken
>"were making a sequel, lets look at what people liked about the first for inspiration"
>look at the first game and all they see is silly shit like funny costumes and buckets on zombies heads, not the actual atmosphere and story of the game
>think that what people like is he off the wall silly shit, so they amp that shit to 11
I dont want a Dragons Dogma 2 simply because Capcom ALWAYS does this, its like a fucking joke at this point. They see one aspect of the game people liked and just make the whole game around that, but games are the sum of their parts and dont work like that.

>grab shotgun from the entrance plaza fiasco
>kill carlito with katana
>kill convicts with shotgun
>kill cletus/adam with lmg
only way to do it

Capcom has been ruining their series for the past 12 years

Im glad shadow of rome never had a sequel . Probably would have been a fucking stealth only game

>kill adam with lmg
>not a sledge

Sledge is ez mode.
Wait till he does a spin, give him a smack. Rinse and repeat untill everyone is done clowning around

>unlock megabuster
>just blast them every time you see them
I don't know if it's the easy way or the dumb way.

Cletus isnt there for the first few hours of the game

I grabbed all the guns before the cunt re-spawned

>wait until he does a spin
how about shoot him until he dies

what the fuck was his problem?

Gran daughter died and he kicked clean off

Doing the 7 day survivor, stocked up on food and health books. Wish me luck!

>wasting ammo on chip damage while he blocks

He had to carry that weight.

no it involved 1 minute clicking sam.exe to get all cheevos

if you get even one shot through his block he gets knocked down, giving you plenty enough time to chunk his health down

for me he's usually dead before he jumps over the space rider track

if ANY other game has the same AI it would be shat on endlessly, but in DR its just fine, its bullshit

mad man

sort-of-bad pathfinding***

the ai is GOAT, if you don't know the difference ur casul

>garbage plot
Are you real, its B movie as fuck

i love it

are these games worth getting on PC? looks fun enough

I think the reason for that is because in zombie movies and other stuff most of the people are massive retards that run off all the time, panic, or in some other way cause all the "good guys" endless trouble and often get them killed.
In Dead Risings sense it actually made it seem more like an authentic zombie experience as retarded as that may sound.
This too, it fits so well with a lot of old and new zombie movies

I found it kind of weird how super adept the survivors were in dr2/otr, it practically took the gameplay away from escorting them back to the safehouse

>A mall was built in my town in 2008
>It was and still is an extremely popular spot to hang out in and buy clothes at
>The fucking anchor store is a Barnes & Noble

You ain't my boy.

I just made it to 6 days 9 hour in infinity mode and died. kill me

What killed you?

Best area to grind in OTR?
