[360] Dead Rising

I'm almost done with 72 hour mode. I didn't mind starting over numerous times. I only saved about 9 survivors out of all the possible survivors. I didn't defeat all the psychopaths either. I think I'll do that on a new 72 hour mode and do the side stuff and not the main stuff. I currently have Frank at level 35. I can't wait to learn a uber hilarious skill that's funny to watch but very useful as well as long as you have no survivors around. It's only obtained when you reach level 50.

Spoiler:

The skill at level 50 that I'm talking about is the Zombie Walk.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

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.

I found that you can go to Cletus in the beginning when you're making your way to help Brad in the food court but I would only recommend it if you have a lot of weapons and a lot of health items. A SMG and a couple of handguns should do it. When I made my first run in 72 hour mode, I never fought Cletus because I would die every time. So I didn't go to the gunshop until later around the night of Day 2. That's when the 2 dudes and the chick are there. I'm making my second run of 72 hour mode because you don't gain experience in Infinity Mode. So I'm leveling Frank up to 50 before I attempt that. I have Frank at level 38..or is it 39? I don't remember which one but I'm damn well near level 40.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

That would be the true sequel to the game if it has one.:biggrin: Oh, and I did try Infinity Mode. The most I've survived is 32 hours and 45 minutes. I think I'm gonna attempt to do the Zombie Genocider achievement before I attempt Infinity Mode again. I like having Frank run around with only the Mega Man Tights, helmet and bare feet. What's really funny is having him in the Wrestling Boots and Tights. In infinity mode, you can kill Carlito when you're in the Maintenence Tunnel. Just carry a Katana and or a Meat Cleaver, and hack away at him until he runs away then comes back. Do that 3 or 4 times and he coughs up a lotta good items like wine, SMG, and other good stuff.

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

Yup, that helps greatly. There have only been a few times that the game has bugged out on me but that's because I was playing it for a very long period of time without any breaks.

To unlock Overtime Mode, you just need to solve all the cases and reveal all the facts behind the case. Survivors aren't a factor in that one. Cause to unlock Overtime Mode, you need to get the best ending which is to do what I mentioned above. Completing Overtime mode nets you the true ending and unlocks Infinite Mode. Lemme just tell you, the last boss in OT Mode can be a bitch sometimes.

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

What I did was the Jump Kick + Roundhouse kick combo and went back and forth between the two different levels on the tank. Which did work. Took a bit of patience but it was worth it.

I was speaking idiomatically.

If you destory the vehicle (by either running into a lot of zombies in the maintenence tunnel or gunning the vehicle down until you can't get in it) they don't appear as much and they don't appear when you're transporting Isabela, and near the end of the game.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
