Dude DLC has gotten all kinds of a shit rap around these forums or anywhere with the abuse from EA or Bethesda, so if I bring up DLC in this game and somebody goes OMG Zombie Armor lolololo! what am I supposed to think? Where exactly was the sarcasm apparent where I could see that you were just kidding and didn't honestly think DLC would be retarded in the game and that Capcom wouldn't just totally miss the opportunity for things I mentioned and just nickel and dime us on things like the Action Frank Underoo Pack and matching Elton John Sunglass Kit DLC?

Dude seriously ease up.
3 other people got the idea and even played on it by adding a "monacle". The idea of the joke is there is alot of useless downloads out there - namingly the horse armor pack which was 2-400 points and practically only there for novelty purposes. Also this forum has a weird obsession with 1800s- late 1800s style "I say old bean" "Pip pip cheerio" top hats and suits/ walking sticks and monacles.
Just ease up and go have a cup of tea or something.
Edit - Yes the "tea" part was a continuation of the joke.

The ironic thing is that my initial reply with the "Wow you have no fucking vision" was sarcastic and not angry and then I explained what I meant by DLC.

A dodgy save system and annoying timed events really can't hold down a game where you can run over zombies with a lawn mower while wearing a pretty sun dress.

Oh man you can't save any time you want this game is terrible.
I KNOWS.
It's like, nothing to do with the games timed system or gameplay decisions. All games should be as easy and simple as possible. There should never be any challenge to a game ever. Challenge is bad.
I actually beat the game with just the jump kick and zombie walk because I couldn't read the instructions for the cool stuff like double lariat and disembowel.
A friend went through 7-day survivor a few weeks ago. He started at 4pm and ended at 6 a.m.
My personal favorite moment was when I woke up at 5:30- just in time to see he had fallen asleep. Frank's last health bar was almost diminished, so I screamed in his face.
Had I not randomly woken up, it would have been the most embarrassing failure I can think of.
I own this game but have a stack of other games to play and am leaving it for last simply because of the text being impossible to read. Man, just thinking about the tiny microscopic lettering pisses me off.

Jesus Christ, you two. Way to blow shit entirely out of fucking proportion.
It's so hip to claim that anyone who hates a game you love simply sucks at the game. No fucking way does the game have some deal-breaking flaws that some of us can't overlook. The game is absolutely fucking perfect, everyone who hates it just sucks.
</dripping sarcasm>
"Lullz i are so gud at teh game u just sux" is not a compelling argument.
Primus' comment was fair, though. While DR might have artifically-imposed stress through the save system, gamers are so used to being able to take liberties with quicksave and reloads that Dead Rising was panned unfairly. The save system is not deal-breaking, it's a game mechanic. It's poorly thought-out, but it is part of the game's atmosphere.
I'm sure all of us in the Dead Rising thread are aware of that, though.

One of the flaws in question is not that you can't save any time you want. What pissed me off is that the game never told me how to save other than those couches that you find in the beginning. I never had any idea that bathrooms were save points. By the time I found out, I didn't care enough to play the game anymore, because I'd played through the beginning so many times.
I played through the story on my first playthrough, using the forced saves and couch, and only used the bathrooms once. Even that once wasn't necessary.
I think people also come at it from a weird perspective. The completionist in all gamers tries to save six people at once and gets frustrated because they can't. My progression through the game was 'save people when you have time, otherwise, fuck 'em' and I enjoyed it all the more for it.

I got the true ending first time through as well. I followed the same approach, I read about the amount of survivors you had to save and the difficulty involved and deemed it unworthy of the effort. If I came across a survivor I did everything I could to save them as I'd feel bad otherwise but I wasn't running around at certain times to find them if I had other stuff to do.
Not to mention that despite the fact that the game has like 6 different endings, everyone seems to think that if they can't get Ending A the very first time then the game itself sucks.
Judging by how the game is set up, I'm fairly certain the developers didn't intend for people to get Ending A on their first try. That's why the game only last 6 hours and carries over your level and everything.
While love the mechanics and gameplay I hate the forced time limit.... they never sit well with me, and because of it I may unfairly dismiss a game because I dont like being rushed. The few exceptions have been all the mario bros games and persona 3 but only because I didnt feel rushed in those games.
But I like the suggestion of just saying Fuck you time limit and just chilling out killing zombies and saving people if they are close by while I am on blood soaked massacre through the mall.
Dead Rising 2 whenever that is coming needs to be more free more sandboxy. That said some mofo needs to make a GTA4 mod where all the civilians are zombies.
I dunno. I'm the kind of person that if I have TOO much freedom, I get bored very easily. GTAIV? I played it for maybe a total of 3 hours, and haven't turned it on yet (and I just went through Condemned 2) since then. It's just too fucking open. I like having SOMETHING constricting on me.
I think I got ending B the first time because I got captured and couldn't make it back to Isabela in time. I don't think I've ever completed overtime mode.

DR2 needs an isolated area of some sort, not a mall again but a controllable structure that you stay inside believably and a barricade system. Seriously, if I could take my character to any building and lock it down, find alternate access points and stock up on food to slowly wait out the zombie assault I would buy a new console for that.

I thought i would love it too. It had all the right things. Zombies, malls, sychronized swimming. It just never clicked. I'm dead to me.

And thank you for adding to the conversation.
In other news, hopefully a sequel will be announced at E3.

I'm willing to be a bit more reasonable than that.
Anyone who doesn't like this game lets a few issues get in the way of the core, raw fun.
Pretty dress is pretty.
Now, did you really pick this up or are you shilling again? Be honest!

No really i did. But maybe i wasnt in the right mood you know? hell, lets give this game another shot.
