[360] Dead Rising

It looks fun enough, what with the myriad of weapons to choose from. It seems like you can use everything in the environment as a weapon. I even saw him throw fruit and boxes of cereal at the zombies.

I wonder what other kinds of little Capcom easter eggs will be in there, aside from the giant Servbot heads. It'd be awesome if you could get cool weapons like Dante's Alastor/Rebellion/Sparda, the Infinite Launcher from Resident Evil, Megaman's Buster, or even Ryu's Hadoken. I can't wait!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Was it actually announced somewhere that the Mega Buster is a weapon? Because that was only speculation in my post. :/

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I love how it keeps a little counter of how many zombies you kill. High score speed runs comin liek wut.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I just put the game on reserve yesterday, and I'm getting a nifty shirt for it.

Can't wait for next week. And now I'm off to download that demo.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Does anyone else find the giant Servbot in the toy store to be somewhat suspicious? I don't know why, but I get the feeling there's more to it than the top of it's head spinning when you hit it. Maybe in the final build that's where you find the Mega Buster?

I was speaking idiomatically.

My boss gave me today and tomorrow off to make up on the weekend, so I got myself all hyped to play all day today and tomorrow, but I went to EB and they were like "lol it's here tomorrow n00b." And after they kept telling me "It'll be here the 8th! Promise!"

How ya doing, buddy?

I would assume they call you the day before so that you can plan to be there the next day.

At least you got a call though. I got nothing. Yeah, never pre-booking from there again.

FELIPE NO

It's a little frustrating that there's no continue option when you die. But I guess that'd make the game a little too easy. This makes you really panic and be like "Fuck you zombies! Where's a restroom?!" Capcom is making some hard ass games lately, which isn't bad my any means.

My only real gripe about the game is that the text is far too small. I have to sit close to my TV and strain my eyes to read any of it. And I have to agree about the AI being a god damn moron. I tried to save the two Japanese tourists, but they kept trying to punch the zombies to death and got themselves eaten. Protecting people is hard when you can damage them yourself.

And I was hoping the Mega Buster was some sort of unlockable weapon that did lots of damage rather than a children's toy. Best children's toy ever though. I wish I had one as a kid.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

EDIT: Oh shit, it turns out you can get a "Real Mega Buster" if you get the Zombie Genocide achievement by killing 53,594 zombies, as well as the Megaman Boots and "Tights" by getting the Unbreakable and Punisher achievements. I've just made it my personal mission to get all these parts.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Heh... I tried Infinite Mode the moment I unlocked it, thinking it was basically just a zombie killfest with no time limit, so I was thoroughly confused when

Spoiler:

Otis started attacking me with a frying pan and the three snipers were waiting for me outside. And it wasn't until a few minutes before I died that I realized my health was slowly draining and thought, "Oh shit, this is a Survival Mode."

So how did you go about getting Zombie Genocider? I've found that the quickest and easiest way is to

Spoiler:

get in the red car and go into the Maintenance Tunnel, to the top left corner of the map that leads to the supermarket and tear ass until it breaks down, then take the van to the area that leads to Paradise Plaza, get in the white car and make one more trip back to where you get the van for massive damage, then head back outside and get another red car and repeat. Each run should net you at the very least 1,200 kills.

By the time I finished, I still had over a day left to spare.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

There are books littered throughout the mall that increase your abilities drastically. For instance, if you have a Criminal Biography book, your edged weapons like the katana and battle axe will last three times as long. Pair it with an Entertainment and Engineering book and the two Small Chainsaws, and you have a whopping 9x durability for the Chainsaws.

There are also books that increase the number of PP you get from killing zombies and increase the power of healing items.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

No, you have to hold them in your inventory.

I found that move to be pretty useless actually.

Spoiler:

Sure, it looks funny and zombies ignore you when you use it, but it takes too long to activate, you're agonizingly slow when you use it, and if zombies are already coming after you when you activate it, they'll take a whack at you anyway, cancelling the whole thing out. Also, in a timed game like this, you can't afford to be slow.

As for Cletus, he tends to show up around the time of the Medicine Run mission. Just head over there a mission or two before it and he should be there. And he's actually not that hard if you happen to go in unarmed. Just hide behind one of the display cases you can pick up, (I'm partial to the one in the upper right corner of the room.) wait for him to reload and make a mad dash behind the counter and grab one of the shotguns, and a wine or two if you can get it before he throws you back over. Be careful though, because it costs you one life point every time he throws you. Coupled with those shotgun blasts, he can take you out in a matter of moments.

Spoiler:

Maybe they'll have you travel the country in search of all the kids Carlito infected to kill/cure them. GOOD OR EVIL, THE CHOICE IS YOURS. There can be only one Highlander.

You don't have to rescue people, but how else are you gonna pass the time between cases?

If you know his pattern, he's actually pretty easy. The Knee Drop move is quite helpful.
