Re: Dead Rising 2: Vegas Zombies!

I think it makes far more sense in this game than it did the last, narratively. I mean, she's your daughter, not just some piece of tail.

Looking at the menu screen, the population of Still Creek is 753. That should have been the achievement amount, not 1,000.

Maxed out to level 5 in the first run and I'm really bummed that I didn't get a Speed increase. That's the worst part of starting a Dead Rising game - how slow you are.

Re: Dead Rising 2: Vegas Zombies!

Anybody purposefully (or otherwise) go for the bad endings?

Like a shithead, I stood right in front of Katey looking at my watch until 8pm hit without giving her the Zombrex.
Spoiler:
Total cop-out ending but I felt the spoiler was still necessary. Rating: F


The I reloaded, gave her the Zombrex and waited until the military showed up without fixing the bike all the way.
Spoiler:
They take Katey away while restraining you until you take a rifle butt to the back of the skull. Rating: D


I need to try fixing the bike, but failing to run. It's probably the same as above, with maybe a slightly higher rating.

Re: Dead Rising 2: Vegas Zombies!

I cracked up when I got the F ending today while wearing the beer cap. Totally ruins the drama...

Re: Dead Rising 2: Vegas Zombies!

Just finished a run through of Case Zero. Thoroughly enjoyed it, and I know I didn't explore nearly as much as I could have (never found the guy on top of the roof's daughter), so I'll probably run it again. Although I am already maxed at 5.

Without spilling location details (time related):

Spoiler:
I couldn't get her to activate until after 7pm, if that helps. It also leaves you with less than an hour to deal with the situation and get back to Katey with the Zombrex.

Actually, what I did was hung out at the gas station until 7. I gave her the Zombrex at 7:01, killed the psycho and then went to talk to Bob and get everything squared away with him and Darcie.


This is only the second game I've gotten all the achievements on, the other being Enchanted Arms

For me, it's just that free Doritos game.

'Dead Rising 2: Case West' epilogue revealed, Xbox 360 exclusive

Capcom just announced at TGS that the Dead Rising 2: Case Zero prologue sold over 500,000 copies in under 2 weeks, with that knowledge one can understand why they'd do an epilogue: Dead Rising 2: Case West.

Keiji Inafune revealed the DLC will take place after the events of Dead Rising 2 and feature Frank West (of the original Dead Rising) working with latest protaganist Chuck Greene. Inafune concluded, "Apologies to PS3 fans, but this too will be an Xbox 360 exclusive." We'll update as we learn more.

Re: Dead Rising 2: Vegas Zombies!

Sounds like 2015's Dead Rising 3 will have some sort of multiplayer mode

Re: Dead Rising 2: Vegas Zombies!

Here is the debut trailer for Case West. It seems like it may spoil the end of Dead Rising 2 but I am not really sure.

Spoiler:
Chuck says he was framed for the zombie outbreak. I have never heard that before, so I don't know if that is how DR2 ends or not.

Nah, it'll only be $5. But if you want to pick up weapons, that will cost an extra $10.

I just got case:zero last night - and to you people who didn't immediately notice the workbench right beside the nails/bat that you just picked up. I say.

Re: Dead Rising 2: Vegas Zombies!

It seems that the "Kill 1000 Zombies" achievement has to be done in one playthrough, because I know I've killed more that that. Is the same true for the "Spend $100,000" achievement -- because I'm not sure that's possible.

Re: Dead Rising 2: Vegas Zombies!

Yeah, Kill 1000 zombies is in a single playthrough. However spend $100,000 is across all playthroughs.

Yeah, combining weapons is across all playthroughs as well.

Re: Dead Rising 2: Vegas Zombies!

I guess the Frank West spoiler is out of the bag. I wonder if the epilog is on the disc and they just ended up charging for it because they know we'll buy it.

Calling Gamestop tomorrow and canceling my pre-order for DR2 for the PS3.

Seriously, all this stuff exclusive for X-Box AND they still won't port over DR1?

Honestly, not worth giving them my money. If I do by DR2, its gonna be a used copy.

The DLCs will most likely eventually come to the PS3 in the inevitable "Game of the Year" edition.

If they do, might possibly get it then.

But at this time, not gonna worry about it.

I think I'm with you on this one. I'm feeling pretty shafted and I didn't know about that whole time limit aspect. Maybe I'll pick it up down the line when it's cheap...
