Dead Rising 2 & Case Zero: Wheelchair Zombie Drive-bys in an Elvis Suit.

[Psychotic]

The only achievements I'm missing are the $100,000 one, and the "make a combo weapon" one. Hilariously, I have the "make all combo weapons" achievement, but not the one that requires you to make just one. My game is bugged, unfortunately.

Chainsaw paddles ruins the entire planet, but I think my current favourite weapon has to be the broadsword.

[Madame Adequate]

I jumped off a rooftop, broadsword in hand, and absentmindedly hit attack in mid-air, not expecting anything to happen.

Something did happen.

My face:



Now I do little else except leap off high places screaming FREEEEDDOOOOOMMMMM

[Levian]

Co-op sounds very interesting. I'll definitely pick up this game even if I was disappointed with the first game, or rather the crappy wii version.

The only achievements I'm missing are the $100,000 one, and the "make a combo weapon" one.

For the 100,000 buck one beat up all the ATM machines and cash registers and pick up the money (they're in almost all the stores and in the casino and movie theater). Also when you find handbags, throw them against the wall; they may contain some money as well. Money carries over from playthrough to playthrough.

Then just spend the money.

So far the only thing I have learned from Case Zero is that Chuck is a very bad father, in my game he ran around tooling zombies in various manners dressed in a diner lady skirt and black cowboy hat, had a few beers, killed some more zombies, spraypainted rude words onto the side of buildings, abused a few more zombies, then strolled into the gas station long after the sun had set in his now completely blood splattered diner dress, his hat at a jaunty angle, picked up some bags of snacks and went and stood in front of his daughter happily eating away and checking his watch until the clock struck Eight. What an asshole he is.

He also seems to quite like throwing canisters of acetyne into packs of zombies, shooting said canister with sniper rifle and ducking into buildings to watch the hilarity that ensues. Not to mention being quite fond of leaving frying pans on stoves until they turn red and burning what used to be faces off of ex-military men. I find this man to be quite disagreeable.

[Madame Adequate]

Got all the achievements now. Finding that darned battery, man!

I also made sure Chuck was wearing a Moose's head in as many cutscenes as possible. I just love running around the place charging through zombies with it.

Cheers fella, just got it.

I spent my money on six drill buckets to max out my inventory (and the rest on zombrex) and it was the best money I ever spent. Got as many drill buckets going at a time as I could and I think the heavens themselves wept at how beautiful it was.

[Polnareff]

You did a great thing as Drill Buckets as well as the Electric Rake (leaf rake + car battery, rakes are in hardware store, battery is on a dumpster in an alley across from the hardware store) are probably the two best ways to boost your PP. I got Chuck to level 5 in just under 2 hours doing that.

I've been wondering why they let you buy Zombrex in the pawn shop, for a couple reasons:

1. The game is timed and after 8:00-9:00 PM it ends automatically depending on what you're doing; in other words it's not like you can give her more than one shot of Zombrex anyway; when you do it forces you through to the next part of the game, where you fight the boss, and depending on how THAT goes you get an ending.

2. *slight spoiler* you can get it from the ambulance for free before the bike mission, in fact the game FORCES you to get it before you can progress the story

Maybe it's just there for the money achievement. I never got the chance to find out if it carried over, but for the reasons above it doesn't really matter anyways. Could be there for the full game too.

[Psychotic]

It's for Sharon.

[Madame Adequate]

Yeah, Sharon needs some before she'll come with you.

Carrying Sharon was not nearly as bad as carrying people in the first one, too. Also helped that Tia and Whassname stayed close and used their weapons sensibly.

[xXsarahXx]

Yeah I think this is something that I need to pick up ASAP. Will update you with my opinion tommorrow

[Polnareff]

Well that explains it, Sharon and a couple other survivors were ones I didn't get to save yet.

And yeah, the survivors in DR2:C0 seem to be a LOT smarter and don't take damage quite so quickly compared to the lame survivors in DR1. Hell even Dick, an old man, was able to fend off some zombies while I was escorting him to the pawnshop.

Oh and I forgot to mention another way to get some nice money. Save Gemini and Fausto. Gemini will give you like 15,000 bucks, and she'll give you more if you get her gems back after she's in the safe house (they're near the roadblock).

[Carnage-]

Case Zero was sort of fun, but it had almost no replayability whatsoever...it was super annoying when you:

> Loaded every time you used the Safe House
> Looking for different components for that combo weapon achievement
> Having bike parts respawn at their original location after you drop them in the Safe House
> Looking at Chuck's horribly rendered hair and hands
> Not having too much to explore
> Climbing up dumpsters and other random things

I know its just an Arcade game, but if this is any indication of things to come, I'm not looking forward to the experience I'll be getting with the $73 I dropped on the full game.

[Psychotic]

Fallen back into old ways. In the first game I got to level 50, got bored of being a hero and eventually became the greatest psychopath in the game. Humans became the only real sport, zombies were just obstacles between murders. I'd kill them in relevant ways, too. Like I'd rescue those girls from Jo, only to tase them to death myself. Or Floyd, I'd throw him out of that junk shop he loved so much. Pamela and Heather was my favourite. I would bring whatever one was stuck in that trench full of zombies and throw her into the safety of the toy store, then hurl her sister out to replace her.

And now the Survivor slaughter begins again. Can't tell you how much fun it is to club Bob off the roof, or piss Sharon off enough so that she limps out into the horde after me.

All while cheerfully whistling 99 luftballons.

Yeah, Sharon needs some before she'll come with you.

Carrying Sharon was not nearly as bad as carrying people in the first one, too.

Carrying people in the first one was awesome. Zombies couldn't touch you.

Looking at Chuck's horribly rendered hair and hands

No, I am sorry, of all your criticisms, this is the one I have to oppose. You give the man a cowboy hat or mohican, or you are not playing the game properly, sir.

[Madame Adequate]

I let Sharon limp around injured while me, Tia, Nikki, Archie, and Jason tooled around slaughtering Gs by the dozen. Then I took them to safety and did not save her. It amused me quite a bit!
