How did you wind up with so much moolah? It'd take me an age before I could start buying some of the keys to vehicles

Spoilering this just incase other's don't want to see

There are three gambling magazines that you can pick up that improve your luck as it were. If you get all three and play the right slot machine, with enough time and luck - and capital you can make quite a bit of money quite quickly. I made over $1million in around 30 mins - maybe less!

It's the huge pink slot machine in slot ranch casino that you play

You can easily make more than a million in a very short amount of time, the hard part is making sure that you have enough cash up front to get started as the max bet button of $1000 is what you use each time. If you hit the jackpot you get $100,000, i usually save after a every few jackpots & reload if i use too much cash.

That's the machine I use! If you get it right you can make money really easily

->Open Spoiler<-

the books help you get more, more quickly too!

[importaku]

Yup the game expects you to make money this way or it wouldnt have added those

I hate cheap final boss fights.

So I'm at Lv. 31, having no problem thanks to Painkiller and a bunch of shotguns, but oh... wait, I can't use shotguns on him because they do so little damage that it isn't worth wasting ammo. So naturally, you have to go and fight him hand-to-hand, main problem there is that he kicks you over the edge almost all the time resulting you to land in a group of zombies.

Also, yes, I have tried a couple of custom melee weapons and I couldn't land a single hit on him because he grabbed me resulting in the weapon being dropped.

I may just start again. It's not worth it.

Give the Wolverine gloves (boxing gloves + bowie knife) a try. They can't be disarmed and deal out some good damage. An alternative is the spiked gloves (mixed martial arts gloves and nails) if you prefer your big combos.

Thanks for the tips on making loads of wonga. Had no idea it was as simple as that! Do the

Your not going to believe this but your best weapon for that boss is the sledgehammer. Just as you come out the lift, theres a zombie with a sledgehammer wandering round the right hand side near the wall where the entrance to the kitchen area is.

aaaaanyway, you need the kick move which at your level you should have. Hold right trigger & x, you should kick out in front of you & he will double over & be stunned for a few seconds. Use this oppertunity to smash his head in with the sledgehammer. Now just rinse & repeat, be careful not to go wildly swinging the sledgehammer at any other time as he will kick it out your hands.

you still may get kicked off a few times but with those painkillers you should be ok.

As for your other question, Not sure if you can use the

in the ante up case but now you mention it i can't see why not. I wonder if they do work. I'll have to give it a try as

they are meant to increase your winning odds

OMG LOL, so wrong yet i cant stop laughing

[hush]

This game sounds so much fun think i will have to buy it on the way home from work tonight

[Phar]

@importaku , I burst out laughing when I saw that and spilt coffee on my paper work, good job the boss ain't here today and i'm the only one in the office, really should be working

[importaku]

OH SNAP, went into the surfing clothes shop in pallasaides mall. Came across a basket near the door full of banana hammocks lol

Mankini's FTW

Now im in the cutscenes with chuck in nothing but a mankini & groucho marx glasses no way it's even remotely serious now, need some comedy hat to finish it off but haven't found anything suitable (yet)

Oh how i laughed when i put it on & he said "im a big boy now" & "this feels kind of funny"

[hush]

Picked this up on the way home from work not really spent alot of time with it just yet only played it for about half hour its alot of fun

OMG LOL, so wrong yet i cant stop laughing

Back to your pedo cave, you. XD

And the last two bosses aren't that hard. Cheesing the penultimate boss with drop kicks does indeed work wonders, plus the last boss, simply rushing in and beating the crap out of them as fast as possible is surprisingly effective if you've Painkillered beforehand. (Is that vague enough not to need spoilers?)

TK's attacks are easier to dodge, and if he does ram you to the sides, passing the QTE will stagger him for a good amount of time.

Great game overall once you figure out what to do for each fight, and that

->Open Spoiler<-

zombie

at the end was an awful scare tactic. It was a good try though.

Co-op trycicles. Biggest highlight yet.
