Dead Rising

[sj33]

Near the end now,

->Open Spoiler<-

the army guys have arrived to clear up the mess

, I've been caught once, got out of the handcuffs... what do I do now? Just wait until it's time for the chopper?

[Jebus]

If you mean after you got out...then yeah unless there's a casefile open you have that time to pretty much enjoy the areas, get achievements etc.

Unfortunately

->Open Spoiler<-

because you got captured you won't get the best ending

but then that's just another reason to playthrough the game again.

I'm on my third playthrough and finding the achievements a little annoying to get...some of them are right near the end, so if you cock it up, it's either reload or play again. The ones which require you to have 8 people in your party look to be so unbelievabley hateful I don't know if I'll ever get them.

...and I've STILL not bothered getting the bowling ball one, it'll be easy I'll just pop to the tunnels.

Can anyone tell me how to get the bike achievement, I've tried where you get it in the north plaza but I damn well can't do it! Also, where is the gun shop pyscho, 3rd time through, onto day 2 and still not had the call...or do you have to find it?

Thanks for telling me, only got captured about 20 mins ago, I'll reload my save.

[Jebus]

Also, if you got

->Open Spoiler<-

captured by the cultists, same applies

.

Personally, I got ending A (best) on 1st play through and ending B second time around, I actually preferred ending B!

Regarding the PP tags, without using a FAQ how would you ever know they were there...? Is there some clue or something...I found one in paradise plaza (the waterpistol/toy head thing combo).

[spagmasterswift]

Yeah they don't always respond - It's either once a day or something like that but they don't simply respawn when you leave the area !

It's amazing - Those jeep guys struck fear into me the first few times I played (after them obliterating me with that gun and running over me) - Once you restart with beefy Frank (Lv 16+) you can really get stuck into them Very liberating.

Man I'd love it if they respawn faster - you could trash the jeep and nick the Big Gun, take it into the Mall for some serious religious re-eduction on the Cultists, then pop back outside with it to take out the respawned jeep again.

They did such a good job or keeping things tough, something this sprawling could have easily fallen prey to cheap explotiaionary tactics - except for the triple booked mini-chainsaws which are CHEEEEEEEEP but awesome

Shame Capcom didn't include a rating system on the boses as two slashes with the saws and its all over - would have been more interesting if you got a better score for taking out a Psycho with a potplant...

Working through the final case with a Level 40 Frank and its just so much fun now. Game of the year for me

[Gubbins]

What ending do you get if you get caughty by the cultists? How would it be any different? Can someone tell me what happens.

[MonkeyWrench]

Is there an ending for the cultists? I thought you just got caught and

->Open Spoiler<-

have to escape in just your undies

.

[Spatial]

That's about it.

There's no specific ending for the cultists, but if you don't free yourself from the

->Open Spoiler<-

Special Op's

you get a bland GAME OVER screen - it's an ending of sorts

[sj33]

Okay guys, how the holy heck do you even DAMAGE the guy at the end

->Open Spoiler<-

after the tank bit

?!

[Emir]

. I know he's a

->Open Spoiler<-

real cheap boss, but if you stand on the lower part of the tank and wait for Brock to jump down to you, he becomes vulnerable, and after a good kick in the head he'll jump back up to the higher platform. Just repeat this attack and you shouldn't get harmed

Hehe. I quoteth myself.

[Spatial]

As I posted waaaaaay back:

Some people reckon the Double Lariat works but:

->Open Spoiler<-

Wait 'till he's on up the upper part of the tank and then getting Frank on the lower part, standing near the step up. As Brock comes within range, quickly move back slightly and then run towards him, doing a running jump kick at him. Nine times out of ten you'll hit him and then just have to drop back down to the lower part of the tank and repeat it all over again.

That way he can't grab you and it'll chip away at his health (shouldn't take too long either)

[sj33]

BEAT HIM! Using your method mate (the double lariat one just didn't work for me).

Came right down to the LAST punch too, one more hit and I would have been dead. Not felt such satisfaction in a while.

[Gubbins]

Pity about the ****e ending you get then, eh?

[spagmasterswift]

Quick question -

I've finished the first set of Case files and the

->Open Spoiler<-

Special Forces

have turned up. Been shooting them in the store room to level up Frank but it seems like a lot of time for just hanging around for the chopper - should I be doing something important? There is no case file or time line on my watch screen?

Got two hours till evac I think - if the chopper comes at 12:00...

[sj33]

I was stuck there too - it basically is free roam, finish off any Scoops left (I had none), get achievements, whatever. I ended up getting bored and sitting in the hideout with the machine left on =/

Just don't get captured by the forces if you want the proper ending.
