[360] Dead Rising

Just got this game (and an Xbox 360) recently, and I have to say, it's pretty fun so far.

I did notice one of those "game freezes up" issue when I was in the area after you leave the "safe" zone, and tried going into the park.

Those stupid thugs on the humvee really pissed me off, because they never gave me much time to aim a shot, and it seems no matter what I did, the bullets always found their way to me. Their taunting certainly didn't help either, and although the music was appropiate, it almost got to the point where I just didn't want to go there anymore because killing them was such a PITA.

Luckily during one run I managed to get them trapped between some trees, and shot the gunner until he died. Then stealing that .50 cal machine gun, I wasted the other two bastards, and man did it feel good using that gun on them after all the pain and trouble I went through (judging from what others have said though, I'm sure there are worse things to come).

I like this game a lot so far. My only real complaint is the fact that the text is horribly small, so it's really hard for me to read (and this is on a 29 inch television) the text. And the comic about the walkie-talkie was hiliarious There were times I'm trying to fight for my life and avoid being zerged by the zombies, when the stupid thing keeps going off and off, and I'm afraid to answer it because I can't attack while listening to that (so I was really cracking up when those zombies attacked him lol).

I hope they make a sequel to this game soon, and I hope they add a mode where you can just bust zombie heads without having to worry about anything (like draining health). There's just something cool about busting zombie heads.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Ah great, something to look forward too lol. Anyway, thanks for the info, after getting beat by them, I would like to pop a few caps in them

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I took the corvette, headed into the maintenance tunnel, took the first right available and ran over whatever I coud then proceeded to get into the truck neary Larry the butcher. Killed all the zombies at that location, swarms of them are there and drove around until I felt it was necessary to head back out and swap with the corvette. Do this and you'll have it in no time.

I tried to beat the game "normally", but Carlito with the sniper rifle kept beating me repeatedly (I didn't know where the gun shack was at the time, and when my brother found it by accident, I didn't feel like fighting a drunken redneck with a shotgun after watching my brother struggle on him). So I did the "run over 53,594 zombies to get the Real Mega Buster" (which I think took me about 4 hours, and then I managed to rack up to about close to 70k kills before I got to the chopper at the end the first time).

Once I had the mega-buster, just about the rest of the game was a joke. Those thugs were so easy to beat that I think I wasted an entire mega buster shooting up their dead corpses for all the trouble they gave me (not to mention all that damn taunting), then used the .50 cal they had and shot them up some more. Boy was that satisfying

Sniper Carlito went down in like 4 hits with it (and since he was running from me, it helped me kill him quicker ), and just about every other boss that allowed me to use that gun died in like 1-6 shots. The megabuster is an example of an "I-win button" (MMORPG term) lol.

Actually, what I found more interesting was killing the clown by the coaster ride, taking his chainsaw, and then grabbing those 3 books which made the chainsaw last pretty much forever (and because it was a "small" weapon, you don't drop it when you get hit like with the regular chainsaw). On top of that, you could grab more if you left the zone and came back (the one with the coaster ride), so I never bothered to get any other melee weapons again (the katana was okay prior to finding this out, but I didn't like it's short lifespan). Bosses also went down in like 3-6 hits with this thing.

Now for that infinite mode...

Most amazing jew boots
