Dead Rising 2 [360/PC/PS3]

Gas Zombies are fucking cancer victims.

Spoiler

Just beat the Army guy and was carrying Rebecca out on the strip back to the safe house when I got surrounded by Gas Zombies. I was making my way through them when I realised I was heading right towards a crashed military vehicle which was wedged up against a wall and there was no way past. I tried my hardest to boot my way through, but I got raped.

Yeah they are cancers mate. The best defence is a good long range weapons to kill them at a distance. The old leaf blower/diamonds combo is always good.

 

[Jonno394]

I didn't save after beating the soldier so I gotta do him again; Knife gloves worked a treat on him so it shouldn't be too much of a pain in the arse.

Think i'm gonna try taking the silly whore through the underground instead of risking the strip again. I would love to use a leaf blower barn, but she has to be carried because otherwise she's gonna get raped on her own, limping along.

barn, what tactic did you use when dealing with

Spoiler

sullivan at the end of the last case file. i went in with just melee and got completely raped

 

[BarnDoor]

Mate what I did was literally go up there with as much guns as I could, the MG is crucial though. Also make sure you have a painkiller with you. If you have 1 MG and 4 of the machine gun type weapon with the 30 bullets you should deal with him mate. Just jump on that crate below the platform where he is standing and gun the bastard. I also found if you do melee him the broom/machete combo works well but tbh its much safer killing him from a distance

 

[Jonno394]

killed him, tried your way but it was taking too long, so retried and used sniper rifle and hid between him and the crate you can climb until he reloaded, then shot him. Only took about 10 bullets to finish him off.

Finished overtime as well and so glad you got to give tk a hiding. Level 30 now, gonna go through and finish off all the psychos, got a crew of 4 following me round all armed with guns or a good melee weapon, so hopefully we'll be unbeatable!

Dead Rising 2: Off The Record, sees Wilamette survivor and hero of Dead Rising®, photojournalist Frank West, take centre stage as players experience a very different interpretation of events in this, a reimagining of the Fortune City outbreak. Forget what took place in Dead Rising® 2, this is Frank's story told as only he can.

This alternate storyline means an all new Dead Rising 2 experience; with Frank facing new missions, new enemies, new combo-weapons with which to defeat them plus a brand new Fortune City attraction to explore. Complimenting the new narrative and action of Dead Rising 2: Off The Record are enhancements to elements such as the save system and the co-op experience to deliver more satisfying gameplay. Dead Rising 2: Off The Record is scheduled for release on PS3™, Xbox 360 and Windows® PCs this autumn.

Bit of a shameless cash-in, but looks fun.

In terms of additional content for a game, it actually sounds quite good. Any idea what they mean by enhancing the co-op mode? Would be great if they made it 4 player instead of just 2 as even though 2 player was fun, it was crying out for a posse of players to go round causing mayhem/running people over with the little girls bike.

There's going to be a sandbox mode for Off The Record, where you don't have to worry about time restrictions. Awesome.

 

[Sho]

I might be interested than.

Looks like there'll be a shit load of GTA style destruction/side missions to go with it, may warrant a purchase.
