What are you playing?

The 360 version looks bad. Real bad. Giant Bomb said they flat out shouldn't have even released it on consoles because the engine and what they're doing run so shitty on 360. PC for me.

[Abraham Smashington]

I haven't read that anywhere. Oh well, I'll deal with the shortcomings if that means Russ and I can run around like retards in hot dog suits again.

[Abraham Smashington]

Ill grab it on PC during the winter sale for like 15 bucks.

Jumped back in to Dead Rising 2 since it's free right now on the 360. Love the premise of these games, hate the gameplay 99% of the time.

I'll be a bit delayed in the quest for hotdog suit mayhem as I'm in the midst of switching innernet providers.

The quick look shows them doing the running around at crazy speeds on 360, and it looks like a broken game. It just can't move at those speeds. When they do it on PC it's smooth as butter. I want to grab this, but ugh, fucking bills everywhere.

[Abraham Smashington]

well yeah the PC version will run smoother. That's nothing new. I haven't seen one review bitching about it in regards to the console versions though.

Billy only trusts the bomb of enormous proportions. Also I'll be your hotdog huckleberry, IF I'm able to pick the game up for this weekend. Hell I may even revive my Uncle Phil from Saint's III that Ari used to run with me.

I just want to beat people to death with purple dildos.

Dead Rising 2 doesn't seem to be very good so far. Why is this series popular? Because zombies?

Capcom cult. Zombies. Paper thin tie to Dawn of the Dead.

Bitches loving to take photographs.

The ideas are great: sandbox style zombie game set in malls/casinos, use anything in the environment as a weapon, thousands of items, thousands of zombies, RPG xp/leveling system, weapon/costume customization, humor

The execution is garbage: every second of the game is timed to some objective, insta game-ending fails if you dont complete certain objectives in time or chose the wrong time to save, rescuing survivors is a chore, bosses are poorly handled

If they took out all the timed bullshit and just set up more of a GTA style mission approach "go to this place to start the next mission but do whatever the fuck you want until then", I would love the franchise. As it stands, I feel like there's barely any time to fuck around checking out stores and killing zombies with ridiculous weapons when I'm constantly being forced to run from one side of the map to the other in 30 seconds or something will happen that instantly ends the game and forces me to restart from the very beginning. It robs all enjoyment from me

That they took out the most appealing mode of play in the sequel still shakes my Jimbobs.

Survivor was the best thing about DR1. You could build up shitty barricades and subsist however you chose to do so. Other survivors were just human cargo drops. If zomboners wrecked your treefort, you could kick them in the dead daddicks and rebuild. Or just take a car or eight out for a spin and just unleash hell.

Even so, I still had fun with DR2. The story was better than the first, but it also robbed the game of potential funtimes. The start of the grimdark nonsense that looks to be in full swing in the third one started there.

[Captain Russ]

Speaking of zeds, I realized I never finished The Walken Dead. Rectifying that now.

Ben is the worst.
