Dead Rising 2 : Case Zero

folan · 06-09-2010 2:02pm

big fan of the first game, im a zombie fan, pure and simple. got this dled last night, planning on a few hours tonight. fingers crossed its the zombie chopper i remember. Though i am tempted to wait and play through DR1 again!

jayteecork · 06-09-2010 2:14pm

Just got the kill 1000 zombies achievement.

Best way is to start a new game and use the trolley that contains the bike to mow them down. Takes maybe 20 mins tops. Think I'll be able to get the full 200/200 which will make it only the second the game I've gotten 100%. (other one was Dash of Destruction lol)

Asmodean · 06-09-2010 5:32pm

Oh nice! gonna try that later on. yeah i only ever got 200 on dash of destruction too.

What about the actual clown???
All the bosses were fairly easy once you were over level 20 or so!! When I first played dead rising it really annoyed me how weak Frank was until he was levelled up a bit, it was great then!

Just redeemed a 2100 point card and went to purchase this and apparently it isn't valid in my "region"
I'm guessing this is because I'm using an Irish xbl account with an UK IP:(

Unless you bought an American card, European cards work in all EU countries.

My friend got this problem as well!

Nope, European card. Doubt I'd even be able to redeem an American card in the first place with a Euro account...
I've had similar problems since I moved over, have been on to MS a few times to get them to change the locality of my account to UK but it doesn't look like that'll ever happen:(

jayteecork · 07-09-2010 8:42am

Just need to spend 100K in the pawn shop and make all the combo weapons for 200/200

Same here. I set up an extra gamertag (silver) and added my MS points to that account. After downloading the game it can be played by all accounts on the console.

Try redeeming from the xbox website , I always have issues with points cards through the xbox itself.

Stylesclash07 · 08-09-2010 10:04pm

I only have to save everyone for 200/200 but has anyone had a problem with the last two that they wont leave the shop

Which 2? The Father Daughter or the 2 girls in the bowling alley?

allanb49 · 09-09-2010 11:51am

Stylesclash07 · 09-09-2010 12:21pm

That all was thinking there would be more :P

The paddle saw is where it's at, after you leave the garage go right accross the street towards the van, there is a house down further, on a ledge on the side there is a paddle (like for rowing a boat) , then go get a chain saw form the hardware place

I replayed it last night and figured out all but one of them on my own (paddle saw damn you!). Key is to just pick up every item that has a blue icon beside it - these are the ones you can combine. Of course, the problem lies with figuring out what goes with what - the airhorn is a particularly random combo

(purple spraypaint and traffic cone)

. The beer hat, though, is awesome.

Take to the rooftops, see what you can find! There's only one of a few items, like the battery.

jayteecork · 10-09-2010 10:35am

Got 200/200 - the paddle chainsaw is cool but it breaks easy.

You really can't go wrong with the baseballbat with nails. Keep it simple.

There is a book in one of the shops that prolongs it's life

allanb49 · 13-09-2010 10:24am

First play through complete, got most of the cheve's only 3 more to get weapons doors survivors

Junco Partner · 14-09-2010 12:07am

got all achievements except 100 grand in pawn shop. having a problem with combo weapon achievement made them all and the message popped up "taste of things to come" or whatever it was called but its not showing up on my achievement screen some dose.:(

Key to getting the 100k is doing the side quest to get the jewels for the girl at the safe house. You don;t have to get it in one play, it stacks. Loot the slots and one arm bandits for extra cash too. One's with cash in front of them are good fro around 7 bets till they stop paying out, once they do smash them up.

The taste of thing to come is for building one weapon not all of them.

Combos are

Spiked Bat - Baseball bat + Box of Nails
Drill Bucket - Drill + Bucket
I.E.D - Propane tank + Box of Nails
Molotov - Newspaper + Whiskey
Air Horn - Traffic Cone + Spray Paint
Beer Hat - Beer + Hard Hat
Boomstick - Shotgun + Pitchfork
Paddle Saw - Chain saw + Paddle
Electric Rake - Leaf Rake + Car Battery

I'd say you either missed

the beer hat or paddle saw.

You have to enter and exit the safe house for his dialogue to change. Those guys appear at 4PM.

That bit might be bugged as they didn't appear for me till after 8pm on one of my first playthroughs.

RobertFoster · 14-09-2010 10:07pm

Wouldn't suprise me if it was bugged. I got to the end credits and

Chuck's motorbike and truck disappeared. Chuck, Katey and the dead guy were all floating in space in the sitting position!

Was it just my machine, or did anyone else think there was a delay between clicking save (or load etc.) and anything actually happening?

Same here, and I thought the load times in general were pretty long.
