dude ..

what ?

WHY ?

I think standing absolutely still after throwing the steak helps. If it's in it's attack-pounce animation then you can't really do anything but if it's just running around what worked for me was clearing out a small corner, throwing the stake and standing absolutely still.

ps, yes this is definitely way easier than DR1, agreed. Especially when I found the glove+claw combo, that thing kills psychopaths fast, it's like a more fragile version of the one-hand saw's from DR1.

Yeah, but it's also if you throw it early enough. You have to basically have it straight in front of it just as it starts charging, but of course if there are objects or zombies in the way it'll sidestep them and then go straight for you and completely ignore the steak.

I found the easiest thing was to load up on steaks and bbq ribs before the fight, then throw them all down on the ground outside the enclosure - pick up the extra steaks in there and add them, then kinda run around and hide inside it. It tends to notice them and eat them before coming to get you that way.

I've been playing Dead Rising 2 for about a week or so now, and overall I am enjoying the game. I like the general idea that pretty much anything in the game can be combined with something else to ensure total zombie mayhem. The game itself is just a good stress reliever in the fact that you can just beat the crap out of a group of zombies and there is blood galore! (Maybe I'm just morbid in that regard ).

Some things that really piss me off in the game is the "real time" for events. I get the idea for having events only last a certain duration, but seriously its like 1 minute equals 4 seconds in actual time. If you measure this out, the exchange rate is terrible. I feel like I have very little time to do anything and that I am always being rushed to either do something for the story, give Katey Zombrex, or save some idiot at the complete opposite side of the complex. I just wish the time was a little more realistic.

I think the psychopaths could be a little bit easier at the start of the game. To me, they all seem to be about the same difficulty level, but you have to be extremely good in the beginning of the game to avoid being hit and dying immediately upon coming across one. Now, at level 24 I really haven't had too many problems with any of them, and why is that? Namely because my health is so much higher and so is my attack power. And it took me a while to realize that they all pretty much have some weakness you have to exploit (For example, the fat piggy man in the wedding chapel goes down for a few seconds if you shoot him in the crouch leaving him open for some melee striking goodness).

It is definitely an awesome game, I just would like to see those few things altered.

the only reason why i even want it is for the voice command. but even for that reason alone isn't worth the price it is now.

Gas zombies. Damn, DAMN gas zombies! How the hell are you supposed to win against them once they have you? I literally cannot move my thumb that fast.

I'm having trouble beating the psychopath in "Chuck the role model". Any ideas?

[Xander Ashford]

Okay, this is more of a question for those of you that know the inner workings of Capcom...

I recently discovered that on the Capcom Store website there was an exact replica of Chuck's Kadoya jacket, and I see that it is sold old. Apparently, it was available for preorder all the month of September and that pretty much guaranteed you a jacket; sadly, I was unaware of this. I also read on another site that the coat was really only available to those who preordered it, and that Capcom only ordered a few extra ones.

I'm a bit curious as to why Capcom would have only ordered a few...Maybe they didn't think something like that at $275 would actually sell. Or maybe the company only agreed to make the preordered amount with a few extras. I'm not sure.

Anyway, my question to you is: Do you think Capcom will reorder these and I will have a chance at getting one or are they done? Capcom seems to still be making a big deal about them on their website, but there is no way to preorder or get notified when the item comes back in. Anyone privy to information on this that I am not?

I really don't feel like searching eBay and finding it for probably $1000 or some other ridiculous amount.

Head to the bar in the casino and use the mixer there with 2X beers (or 2x vodka if around) to make a painkiller. Should help in the fight. Also stay back away from the toilet doors and nearer the entrance to the toilets, and then move in once he jumps over and finishes attacking the air.

[Zombie Fred]

Rombies' advice is the best course of action. One thing I would try is trying to stay around the two concrete blocks in the room around the toilets, so when he trys to do his jump peirce attack at you, you have a big chance of dodging due to being more agile t ododge any upcoming attacks. I think he's probably one of the most hardest bosses in the game.

It looks like the Japanese Capcom store will be getting more in late January 2011.

Ah, thanks for the reply. I also sent an email to Capcom to see if the US site will be getting these again. I would still order it from the Japanese site if I had to, but I would prefer to just get it from the US site...Less shipping and whatnot. Plus, I don't really have experience with ordering things from foreign websites. Obviously they are not the easy to navigate even with web translators.

Another thing that has been bothering me in Dead Rising 2 is the fact that the AI tends to shoot at YOU rather than the actual zombies. For example, I was trying to save the two army dudes in the Silver Strip, and every time I got near them to talk to them, they would shoot me...REPEATEDLY! I tried come at them from different angles, but to no avail they would always turn and shoot at the zombies near me. I succeeded in getting them the second time around, but seriously?

I have to say that with all the gas zombies out, the game is extremely tedious when trying to do some of the bonus things like spraypaint the Zombrex posters.

Still enjoying it though!

^ Umm.... yeah, the two military guys are supposed to shoot you. They actually tell you to drop your weapons or they will shoot because they think you're a threat. Just drop all weapons on the spot, go in and talk to them to get them to join you, then you can run back and pick up all your weapons.

Occasionally the AI does shoot you when targeting a zombie otherwise, but I've noticed they tend to shoot out apologizes when doing so. With the exception of the army guys above, they don't generally target you... you just sometimes get in their way.

Yeah, just call me stupid, but I seriously did NOT pick up on that "DROP YOUR WEAPON! NOW! DROP YOUR WEAPON!" business. I completely tuned it out the first time around and just heard them shouting random words. Meh.

Well, I beat it today...I think the ending could have been done a little better, but whatever. Still good.

I think now I'll play through again for more survivors.
