Dead Rising - General Discussion

[Rancid Cheese]

Are the Skill Packs worth picking up? I'm torn between them and the previously pre-order-only-exclusive content for Red Dead (The War Horse/Gold Campaign Guns/Fast Dead-Eye-Regen outfit) . . .

[Rombie]

DR2 Skills = They're only good if you've got lots of hours still to sink into the game or lots of Co-Op to play (keep in mind that anyone who co-ops has to patch their game also with the free co-op Skills patches off the PSN/XBL as well which allows co-op with people who have the skins - why this is I don't know, it was a pain in the ass at first until I realised). If you've already finished everything in DR2 then I'd suggest not getting them.

Off the record will feature a sandbox mode.

Players can explore the casinos, restaurants, malls and new Uranus Zone that comprise Fortune City without the obstacle of time. Challenges placed throughout the city offer players the chance to earn additional cash for use in the pawn shops and vending machines around Fortune City. Ranging from collection style challenges to vehicle-based challenges to zombie massacre challenges; the higher the rank of the player, the more cash they win.

That makes me want to buy it. I enjoyed DR2, but the time constraints pissed me off no end. The original game was worse, mostly because for some reason text was unreadable for me, it was absolutely goddamn tiny.

^ Were you playing on a SD TV? That might be the problem.

On another note im finding hard to give a damn about DR2:OTR since its not canon.

And im still pissed Capcom hasnt released Case West and Zero on PS3 >

Buy an Xbox, go multiplatform.

I've noticed everything shown seems to be in the new area they've added, but honestly how big can it be? I get the feeling it'll be the size of one of the large casinos or maybe on slightly bigger, which still isn't big, the rest of the game just a copy and paste with new cutscenes.

I played DR2 to full completion, even did the 72k kills, this will be a rent for me.

I remember helping Jills Boob with the trophies for DR2. Those trophies for that game fucking suck. Their all ridiculous. I did enjoy playing with him though, but the game itself isn't that great.

[Dracarys]

Aside from 72k kills and win in each TIR (since cannot pick events) I didn't have isues with the trophies. If you think ahead you can rescue every single survivor and do all story and zombrex events in one playthrough.

Play the first one and we'll talk about trophies/achievements that suck.

Getting all Otis calls AND saving all survivors was fucking hardcore.

The only games that interest me are both L4D's and DR1 I dont know if I should.

One cousin of mine brought a 360 to my house and i could never get it to connect to the internet and i tried for an hour but since im not paying for online I guess it doesnt matter.

Maybe I will buy one when they hit 99 bucks.

[Rombie]

To me adding Case West as a bonus in this makes sense, because the original idea of this version of DR2 was supposed to be a Director's Cut which they then flipped into this alternate universe thing. But considering the link between both of these is West it would make sense. Not likely to happen though.

If they go cheaper, then you should really consider getting one. DON'T BUY A USED 360 (or any console, in my experience ): That's a no-no.
Pay to play online sucks, but there are some great titles on 360 that are worth getting a console. Dead Rising 1 was one of those games (it was my first 360 game if memory serves me well). But I buy anything (good) with zombies LOL.

I would difinitely buy this is Case Zero and/or Case West was added (or even if download vouchers were included). I know both of these are "XBOX exclusives," but that hasn't stopped Capcom before from cross-platforming exclusive material. They've done it with entire games...Resident Evil 4...Nintendo to Sony.

I am NOT buying an XBOX, but have always been highly interested in the Case material.

I really have little interest in this "Off the Record" edition. I mean, I just really can't see it being that different than the original Dead Rising 2. I think this will be a "wait-until-it's-around-$20" purchase. Capcom and this constant releasing and rereleasing of the pretty much the same game is becoming extremely hackneyed. Though, the sandbox mode does sound interesting.
