my Dead Rising 2 came today, but it's not the deluxe edition I ordered, and in order to get the deluxe, I have to wait for it to arrive, then send this copy back. Meaning I have to sit and look at a sealed copy of the game until middle of next week. Luckily, the girl I talked to put rush processing and one day shipping on my replacement set, so it should be here quickly

I know it doesn't give me as much PP as the combo weapons, but I find myself using the Shotgun as much as possible. It's an awesome weapon to use when you're trying to escort people back to the safe house, it's a real space-opener.
My favorite weapons so far are the shotgun and the lightsaber. I really get a kick out of the lightsaber.
I'm steadily working my way through my first playthrough, I'm having a lot of fun. The part where you had to drop onto the train killed me, though, I just couldn't get the controls right and it felt like a miracle when I finally landed.
Overall it's been a very, very fun experience so far. It's not a perfect game, the aiming system seems erratic and I always seem to accidentally hit my partners, but for the most part it's a pretty epic time waster.

i am also enjoying the lightsa-- er- lazer sword immensely. i especially like how the color of the beam changes everytime you take it out.
also, the dyna-meat is great for bulding PP - it's basically a hunk of meat and dynamite - so when you throw the dynamite a crowd of zombies goes right to it like bait. pretty awesome.
the holy and infernal arms are pretty awesome too (nails or gasoline combined w/ practice sword -found backstage @ slot ranch

I'm really liking the psychopaths in this game. I just got done beating Slappy, it was a pretty wild fight.

It's just gems and a flashlight. all combo weapons in DR2 are made with just duct tape, though. and he said torch.. Flashlight at least makes sense

I honestly think it's kinda hilarious in a tongue-in-cheek way that all it takes is some duct tape to make these awesome weapons. I also like how one drill + one bucket = three drills in a bucket, or how one chainsaw + one kayak paddle = two chainsaws with one attached to each end of the paddle.
It's goofy, but in a good way.

I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt, nails + bat w/ duct tape does NOT work. I've tried to do it, not because of Dead Rising, but my own reasons.. it falls apart really quickly and isn't battle ready at all.

Finally finished the game, and I got the S rank ending.
The game has a lot of flaws but it has a lot of things to make up for those flaws, hopefully with the third iteration of the game they can fix some things to make it even better than this one.
Can't wait for Case West to come out.

I WOULD have had my game this morning, if UPS hadn't showed up at 9 AM. Target said it was to arrive Wednesday or Thursday, and I didn't even know UPS ran today, since the mail doesn't. More confusingly, the non-deluxe edition Target error sent me last week came by post office, so I didn't even know it was coming by UPS.
I'll hopefully have pictures of all my Zombrex edition stuff tomorrow

ok, so i'm nearly done with my 2nd time through and i gotta say, i think it might be too easy.
the map, though it looks bigger, is much easier to get around. there are many more entrances to the plazas (whre in DR1 there were only 3 doors to the outside, 4 if you count underground tunnel up to the parking lot) there are at least 7 in dead rising 2 - and most of the buildings connect much like in DR 1 - and also, much like 1, there is a "shortcut" you're shown by a survivor and in DR2 it's just TOO convenient.
also, i've got 13hrs left and so far i've gotten all survivors and killed all psychopaths with NO trouble whatsoever. i started this playthrough at level 34, i have not had to "buy" one zombrex dose, so the money part has been almost inconsequential (though, i know some survivors require some monetary motivation to accept my help). i also have not died once and the only achievements i have left to get are the "kill copious amounts of zombies 10, 53 and 70,000, kill 1000 barehanded, kill 1000 with motorcycle, kill with all ranged, novelty etc. weapons - all of which i will get in 1 playthrough, my 3rd.
i don't want to ruin the game for those who haven't played it. if you liked Dead Rising 1, you'll still like 2, but if you hated Dead Rising 1 because it was "too hard", you might like this one more.
okay, now i will admit, i have used a "survivor list" i found online to get them all, but it's been CAKE getting them all. in Dead Rising 1, it was a struggle with detailed lists to get everyone, but it was possible. also, the "overtime" mode in DR1 was longer and better (that's what she said) in Dead Rising 1, 2's just seemed to go by in a matter of minutes.
i don't know, maybe it's just because i was looking forward to it for so long that nothing could have lead up to my expectations... i just hope Case West is longer than Case Zero, and maybe Dead Rising 3 will take place in a City or Town instead of another series of malls?

For someone who came into DR2 with absolutely no expectations and little-to-no knowledge of the game, I have to say that it broke my addiction to Civ 5, which was a not-insubstantial feat.
However, I'm definitely looking at it through rose-colored glasses. I got it on the PC, and since I really don't care all that much about achievements, I ended up getting a trainer for the game. Now I can basically stroll about and do whatever I want at my leisure. Without the time constraints I consider it an amazing game, but that's only because I personally hate time constraints.
I think it's a solid game through and through and I look forward to getting more involved with this series.

some people take playing Terror is Reality online WAY too seriously. I see it as a fun little mini game to earn some extra cash for my in game character. I earned my jacket from it on the second game and the achievements on the second and third games. So it's not playing towards rewards. So what logical reason does someone have to need to score 200,000 points in one game? Not overall, in one round. This is someone who spends all their time playing games and is probably 10 years old..
I've made some cool combo weapons so far. Portable mower was pretty much win. I make the light sabers whenever I get the chance. Always have knife gloves in my inventory. I've played online with a couple of people and seen parts of the story, but it seems everyone that I play online with just wants to run around and do random things. I'm only to 2-1 in my own story mode. I spent 2 days just exploring the levels. I accidentally wandered into the wedding chapel, with low health and no good weapons, and couldn't get back out before I was killed, and since my last save was like 2 hours (real time) before, I opted to just end my exploring there.

I agree with the Terror Is Reality. I let the opening run, and went to get something to drink, came back and was getting cussed out by a 10 year old for not being ready. Then at the end, the kid didn't even know math. It was like 20,000 to 16,000 and he said he beat me by 20,000

I wish there was a way to silence the opening video for TIR too. The first time, it was awesome. The second time, it was neat. The tenth or so time, it's ing annoying. And it can't be skipped or silenced at all. It over rides all music. I do really like TIR though. As long as you aren't playing with 1337 gamers that feel the need to "pwn" people, it can be really fun. I just really wish Xbox had some sort of filter for mature rated games so the people that are playing it meet the age requirements. It absolutely kills me to be playing Left 4 Dead or now Dead Rising and be getting screamed at by a 10 year old for "not doing things right".

I finished it up today, got the best ending obviously (as I stated before I just wanted to have fun and since I had the PC version I got myself a trainer). It was a thoroughly entertaining experience, I had some really good times with this game. Spoilers: I can't ing believe they killed off Chang, though. She was one of my favorite characters, and my favorite love interest (it's the giant boobs). Just all kinds of sass and sexay, and then she gets killed in a split second and doesn't even get one of those tragic long-winded death scenes. SUCKS!Overall, I'll be keeping this one on my hard drive for quite some time. There's always DLC to look forward to and additional playthroughs just to go around slaughtering everything.
