Dead Rising

[Kotatsu Neko]

Think I may have found a bug - I'm at the helipad at mid-day when I'm due for pickup... the cut scene is triggered of the pilot arriving but he just says I'm not there and the game ends.

Hmmm....

[Bleeders]

Nope, not a bug

->Open Spoiler<-

Did you visit Isabela prior to going to the Helipad?

[NeoStuey]

Aww bugger. Looks like I've still got my achievement glitch then

I wonder if it is the same as when clearing the bowling acheivement, in that only kills that score you prestidge points, are the only ones that count towards you total. If so, it's not really a glitch but a bit unfair on the player not to be clear about what counts to your kill tally.

[Kotatsu Neko]

Nope, not a bug

Did you visit Isabela prior to going to the Helipad?

I tried but I ran out of time so I went back to my last save and just waited at the helipad.

Pretty stupid that the guy says I'm not there waiting for him when I'm stood right there...

[Bleeders]

Oh absolutely, Ending C I think isn't it?

[Kotatsu Neko]

Oh absolutely, Ending C I think isn't it?

Yep, ending C.

I may play through again now Frank is really powered up (level 36 or something like that). Should be able to kill a few more psychos next time around.

Will be my 3rd play through.

[Bleeders]

I've kinda put this to bed now I'm Super Frank Level 50, but I can feel the pull of taking pictures of 10 psychopaths pulling me back in and the ease of how the psychos go down now

->Open Spoiler<-

with ol' Adam's Chainsaw - three or four swipes and they're dead.

The game finally gifted me with the Karate Master Achievement - and I only had to kill 2000 more zombies than I should have

[Emir]

Can't believe I haven't talked about the endings yet (major spoilers again):

->Open Spoiler<-

The True Ending is a bit pants isn't it?

Why couldn't they have at least done a bit more an explained how they got out of there?

Or just left it as a total cliff hanger on top of the tank which would have been much better.

->Open Spoiler<-

I wish they'd just left it as a cliff hanger too. I have to say I absolutely loved the ending for the 72 hours though. I was ever-so-slightly upset when it carried on for the additional 2 days just 'cause I thought it was such a class ending.

Don't you have to do 1000 in a row?

[Spatial]

Apparently, but it didn't unlock for me until I'd done triple that

[NeoStuey]

Just finished unlocking the karate master acheivement. Phew!

My Zombie kill tally was 1396, I made sure not to pick up a single weapon. I had anticipated needing 25% more kills as not every kill would generate PP this was true when I was trying to pull certain moves which sometimes leads to additional zombies getting mown down and killed but not registering PP. Though I was still suprised that I had to kill 146 more than I thought.

I was trying to keep a mental note of whenever I saw PP being scored for a kill.

Still it's done now, time to go for the Saint acheivement again. I nedd to improve my best of 42 survivors.

[Kotatsu Neko]

I finally finished this with the 'true' ending.

Nice game, flawed but very nice. Has that Capcom polish which so few other developers seem able to match.

Thanks Capcom, now where is Resident Evil 5?

[Emir]

Been messing around on this again today. It really is special when you think how extensive this game is and how much detail and thought has been put in by Capcom.

I've been appreciating the finer details today. Been spending some time on all the moves

->Open Spoiler<-

(I hadn't realised you can make Frank seriously dizzy if you use the giant swing skill for too long , or that throwing a metal pole at a zombie has a similar effect to the shower head, causing the blood to stream from the hollow.)

Also, I love how

->Open Spoiler<-

the True Eye cultists refer to you as "it", as if they're something not of this world.

[Oblivion_is_here]

->Open Spoiler<-

Bah, missed out on unlocking infinity mode by getting knocked out by Special Ops
I managed to get Frank Zombified too, oops

GOTY anyone? Quite possibly.

Dont say that till Gears of War and Zelda Twilight princess are out mate... I'm pretty sure one if not both could beat this game (As good as it is)
