Dead Rising Demo

[DamnthatDavid]

I finally got to try the demo for this game. God, the cut-scenes are awesome, and the game... damn addictive. I spent a good 20 minutes just shoving coathangers down Zombie's throats.

So much to do, and the demo has only a very VERY small selection of abilities.

I need to get a 360 now. Not just play off my friends.

[the_dudefather]

i hate the 'walk down the wrong way and have to restart the demo again' feature the demo has, but overall its quite fun.

i can see myself renting this when it comes out

[Misdemonar]

there's a katana in the demo.

[Drunkenbrigade]

I'm pretty impressed with it. There are so many different types of weapons, Spitting on the zombies is funny as hell.

My favorite weapons in the demo so far from what I played has got to be the fake plastic light saber & the bowling ball. Zombie bowling rocks.

[Juttin]

Is this a Gamestop/ Wal Mart demo?

Or what?

[Shifty]

xbox live demo

[timrpgland]

I also played the demo over the weekend. I'm undecided on this game. The demo was pretty fun but I can see the game getting boring quickly. This looks like a "rent first" title.

[Supafly345]

Its downloadable now? I was getting sick of watching that damn video over and over.

[ABSeNCe]

State of Emergency with zombies, and next-gen features :/

[timrpgland]

I've played quite a bit of the full game now and I like this game. Finally getting some cool moves. While a lot of people are complaining about the save feature (1 slot, timed events) fighting with its own timed events, I actually find the whole system refreshing.

[timrpgland]

Walking on top of zombies shoulders is fun

[Misdemonar]

there's a katana in the demo.

upstairs in the resturant, if you look over the edge, you'll see those little yellow roof things, a katana is on one of them,

I sorta loled at Jill's Sandwiches,

[the_dudefather]

there are 'jill sandwiches' in the game?

thats me sold

[timrpgland]

Yeah they made a few nods. The full game is actually quite fun if you don't mind the save/event structure.

[MarioRPG]

I want to play it. :/

[timrpgland]

Finished Overtime mode over the weekend and got the A ending. Now I unlocked Infinite mode... Don't even know if I want to touch that. The 360 likes to crash every once in a while and I can see being 10 hours in and it shitting out.

I really enjoy the game though and I don't really want it to be over. I have 28 of the 50 achievements. I guess I can try for some more. Maybe go for Saint, Genocide and Transmissionary. I could have gotten Transmissionary but I missed a couple key survivors I guess. Only ended up saving 29.

Killed 11,000 zombies in that run. I can see how it wouldn't actually be that bad to get the Genocide achievement. If you get into the maintenance tunnels right away you can probably do it rather easily.

[Supafly345]

Christ almighty, this game has brought back the fun in videogames that I haven't felt since I first played GTA(seriously, the first one).

[timrpgland]

It's about damn time Supafly! :(

[Zomboid]

This made me go back and finish the story mode today. Maaaaaan there's a lot of really annoying things that I wish they'd fix :(

[timrpgland]

Can you name some of the things that annoyed you?

I need to go back and finish my "perfect continue" sometime.

[Zomboid]

-OTIS
- I don't have an HDTV so the writing is almost illegible :O
- Insanely stupid fucking AI. Earlier I had 4 people following me, and I swear at one point they were all just running into each other.

I know there's a few more things but I can't remember em right now.

[timrpgland]

haha Otis. You get to have your revenge on him at least.

The AI is rather dumb. The only good thing is that you can point them to go somewhere and just stay there. Hope you knew that.

[Zomboid]

I had no revenge. He escaped in a chopper and left a note.

[noob3]

I played it on a HDTV, so my only complaint is the AI. Like zomboid, I had trouble with the AI following me.

And when they had weapons, never give them weapons! They get pretty much infinite ammo, but they will shoot you/other survivors :/ Usually killing them :/

Fun title to go back & play whenever 8)

[Supafly345]

Thanks for ruining it for me.
But yeah, I tried playing it on my television and I couldn't read jack shit. So I only play it on my parents television now. =/ they hated it at first but now they think its pretty cool!

PS: my parents are old and old people can afford HD

The intelligence of each survivor differes in a remarkably wide range of temperments. I forget which guy, but he just loved to get out there and kept losing tons of life trying to take on cultists with a nailgun. I suppose there are two variables: ability to escape, and willingness to attack. The pussy bitches that have neither fucking drive me up the wall. I had to eventually do a saved stats start just so I oculd have enough stuff to give to all the survivors.

[noob3]

i always just gave them mini chainsaws/uzis/katanas (stuff that respawns)

[timrpgland]

I wish I had a HDTV but I didn't have any trouble playing on my regular TV. One of these days I'll get one, I haven't even played any 360 games on a HDTV.

[Zomboid]

I beat the game and got the A and true ending and unlocked all the modes and shit. I started up a new game and the horrible AI is already pissing me off.

[timrpgland]

I don't know, I think it fits that the AI of survivors is bad... I mean where would the challenge be of saving them if they acted how they should?

[Zomboid]

I don't think they "should" be running into walls and each other or firing at each other when I give them a gun. It's fucking awful. It should be a challenge, yeah, but it shouldn't be almost impossible simply because the people you're leading don't know how to climb over an edge and shit like that.

[Supafly345]

Yeah, that is clearly just bad AI, not just personality differances that were purposeful. Even the most cooperative survivors love to run into walls.

[timrpgland]

I'm not saying that the AI isn't retarded. Maybe I should rephrase my statement into a question then.

What would make it difficult to save survivors if they did everything you wanted them to and didn't act stupid by running into walls/each other and so on? I just think they're stupid kind of on purpose.

[Zomboid]

I still disagree. There can be challenges in games without making it just plain stupid. I also doubt that they made them run into each other on purpose. I'll be trying to get them up on the little area near the air vent and they'll keep running into each other instead of climbing up. Not exactly the best game mechanics ever.

[timrpgland]

I think it's hilarious actually. HURRY UP BASTARDS, YOU'RE WASTING MY TIME!!

[noob3]

The game would be way too easy if the survivors (I keep wanting to call them hostages :lol) were smart. I thought that was part of the challenge, chainsawing a path through hundreds of zombies so you can escort 6-7 dumbasses?

[Supafly345]

Well they could have that cowering thing, or other behaviors that could be possible outside of a videogame. The girls that are constantly crawling on the ground because they are scared and then going into a corner is plausable, but having two guys running infinitely towards eachother on that step right before you enter the vent is fucking stupid.

[noob3]

did anyone ever accidentaly kill the survivors? :0 i did that alot with the microchainsaws :lol man is there any other good horror games on the 360? Is that Condemned game any good? Anyone know?

[the_dudefather]

condemned is supposed to be pretty good, there is a demo on the marketplace

[Zomboid]

Yeah, I beat it a while ago. It's pretty fun and there are a few creepy parts. Only thing is, you gotta play as the ugliest person in the world.

[Supafly345]

Man, their's always a catch :rolleyes

[Supafly345]

I got the Mega Buster guys, it rocks unlimited mode pretty hard.

[Zomboid]

Fuck. I don't have it and I figured I'd get it before you at least.

[Supafly345]

Hell, I got the SAINT acheivement motherfucker
I'm working

[Supafly345]

Hell, I got the SAINT acheivement motherfucker
I'm

[Supafly345]

Hell, I got the SAINT acheivement motherfucker
I'm working on the 14 h

[Zomboid]

Uhh...

[Supafly345]

wtf every time I spaced it posted
Haha, that's an awesome bug to slow the board with.

[Zomboid]

Are we doing a noob/lenor thing here? Or do we have to say "HAHAHA realnamehere, YEAH MORE LIKE HE'S GAY RIGHT? LOL" a buncha times?

[Supafly345]

'twasn't my fault!

[Zomboid]

SO ADAM I WAS REALLY DRUNK LAST NIGHT HOW BOUT YOU? HAV U CAL'D CHUCK YET?

[timrpgland]

Hell, I got the SAINT acheivement motherfucker


Nicely done Supa!

Did you get Transmissionary or whatever? I'll probably never get that one but the continue now will get me most everything else once I do actually play it more. I was too hooked right when it came out.

[Supafly345]

Transmissionary is impossible. 7 day survivor is probably easier.
When do you get your revenge on otis anyway? Were you talking about infinite mode?
And I can't seem to manage getting the "group photo" achievement. It can't be that hard since absolutely everyone else has it already.

[Sam]

I barely have any of them. :tear

[timrpgland]

You guys got me playing again. Put it in last night and played for a bit. I notice I'm not even listed on the PP board. Must have never been online cause I have 5,500,000 pp. Guess it'll record when I beat 72 hour mode again?

Anyway, going through and grabbing achievements I didn't get. Some easy and some more difficult. Shooting for Saint this time as well. So far so good. Already failed Transmissionary again. Yeah, that's nearly impossible.

[Zomboid]

I got the level max achievement. It is very satisfying running up to special forces and doing the disembowel move or any other melee move and having em die right away. The zombie walk was the last thing that I unlocked.

[Supafly345]

I got transmissionary. Staying ahead on your scoops makes it the most possible. Being level 50 and having the mega blaster to tear through bosses in seconeds makes it much easier as well.
Zombie walk is reserved for the last thing you get. I think of it as more of a fun bonus for unlocking lv50 achievement than I do a move. You know, like the police hat.

[the_dudefather]

really have to get around to completing this again, fancy trying to take down a few more psychopaths (spent most of my time saving people the first time around)

[noob3]

am i the only one who got lvl 50 before i even started going through the game?

[timrpgland]

Supafly is destroying the game!

I got Guitar Hero 2 last night for the 360 otherwise I would have been playing this some more. Maybe tonight again.

[Zomboid]

Supafly is rediscovering video games.

[Supafly345]

Holy shit, if you get kent really pissed off with a 3000+ pp erotica photo, he chains your ass to the ceiling!

Also: all acheivements, uh, achieved.

[timrpgland]

Gratz man, that's an achievement!

Too much Guitar Hero 2 for me since picking it up.

[Supafly345]

I FORGOT TO PUT MY I BEFORE E EXCEPT AFTER C

[noob3]

do u die?
