Dead Rising

I just rented Dead Rising, and it's pretty interesting. I know the game is two years old, but I've never played it. I remember it sitting at Blockbuster and me just walking past it for over a year. The graphics are nice, still nice after two years, the voice acting is ok, but the controls are a little wonky. Dead Rising suffers from the Resident Evil syndrome where you have to stop to aim your weapon, so while you're trying to headshot a dude, another one comes strolling up behind you and takes you out. The game isn't easy, I've died more then a few times. I remember reading how escorting survivors was a pain, and it really is. Nothing like having the dude following just stand there stuck on a door while zombies slaughter you.
The only boss fight I did was the first Carlito one, but I've already read about the story. The save system is starting to grate on my nerves, but I'll keep on going. I wish there was an true unlimited mode where you could just run around the whole mall trying to save as many survivors as you can for as long as you can. From what I've read and heard about on these forums, Capcom missed a lot of opportunities.

One of these days...
Did I say something wrong in my post? Trust me, I don't want to start any controversy; I'm enjoying the game. There's just something cool about breaking into a fitness shop at one health, grabbing some dumb bells and then fighting your way to the food shop.
Rinse and repeat.
I found guns to be useful only for bosses, so I would keep one or two around all the time (easier when you have more inventory), but the real fun is murdering hordes of zombies with chainsaws, axes, gumball machines, etc. My favorite weapon is the Fire Ax, which was pretty hard for me to find (I think in one of the hardware stores), but it's so gleefully gory that it was worth it.
Man, well...... so... .you mama beeyatch.
The correct way to kill zombies...
...is with love.

Actually it is with a skateboard.
Isn't this a core feature of the game? You just continue after blowing a story mission and you can keep playing/rescuing until the helicopter arrives.
猿も木から落ちる
correct. But it involves playing the game through to the end a couple times.... which isn't so bad really.

I tried to like it but in the end I just threw my hands up in the air and said "Fuck it." As I just wasn't having fun anymore. If I'd paid full price for this I would have been pretty pissed.

It's still not a "true unlimited". There's that mode where you starve to death, and the normal story mode that is limited to 3 days.
Phew, thought we were actually going to make it passed the first page without something like this.

I haven't played in some time so I don't remember where to find it, but isn't there a book that triples the life of edge-based weapons? After you pick up one of those, once you kill the (boss spoiler)
Oh, I love fun, in fact had the game let me have fun I would have enjoyed it considerably, however they insist on harrassing me evey few seconds telling me to do things I might do if I feel like it and if I have the audacity to get hit they call back chewing me out for being rude.
I would also have had fun if after making progress I could save the game before running into pack of psychos/zombies who tear me apart making me go back and redo all the hard work I'd just put in.
I'd also have had fun if I could chose when to start a mission instead of having to either A) rush about trying to get to an allocated location in time for the mission start or face having to reload the game, or
I can forgive most of the other things but these three ruined the game for me. All I want is to be able to have fun exploring the mall, killing zombies and taking missions on when I'm good and ready. Not having to worry about cocking up the story and having to start the game from scratch because I fail one mission or save at a bad time meaning I can't reach the mission start in time.

Triple booking the small chainsaws removes 95% of the 'fear' you may experience being surrounded by zombies.
And I think you find the book you're thinking of (for edged weapons anyway) or at least one of them in Bachman's in the first area.

So... Metal Gear.
You're playing it wrong. :P Save the story stuff til you know the layout and all that, until then just wail on zombies.

I still have to play this game. Rented it when it came out and I had a 27" SDTV, couldn't read the text so I put it off until I had a better display. Enter 47" HDTV, Dead Rising doesn't show up in local stores anymore. :_(
