With this coming out soon, i thought i'd get this going and see what everyones thoughts before and after release are?

niallon · 21-09-2010 12:25am

I'm expecting another Assassin's Creed 2 situation, take all the good of the first game and fix/remove the excrutiatingly annoying bits and you have yourself a cracker of a game!

corcaigh07 · 21-09-2010 12:58am

thebostoncrab · 21-09-2010 1:35am

The save system, it seems, is not one of them.

Zombies again is always good.

Unfortunately, due to some stupid spending this month, itll be a while till i gets cash for a new game.

So next month, a long marathon gaming session.

Horray

I wasn't mad about Case Zero. I might give it another try, but not until the new year.

FIFA 11
Castlevania: Lord of Shadow
Fallout: New Vegas
Fable 3
The Force Unleashed II
Smackdown Vs Raw 2011
Call of Duty Black Ops
Assassins Creed: Brotherhood *****

They all take precedence over DR2. Lot of games between now and the end of the year, and I'm not even counting the ones like Harry Potter, Medal of Honor, Saw 2, Front Misson and True Crime that I have a slight interest in depending on reviews!

I liked the save system once I got used to it. It's what makes the game so unique. Can't understand why everyone was asking them to get rid of all the features that made Dead Rising so different in the first place. Yeah it was frustrating at first but it really added to the game once you got used to it.

If you got rid of the save system you'd get rid of any tension, as it was if you got yourself in trouble surrounded by zombies you'd really do all you could to survive because your last save had been 45 minutes ago :P

humanji · 21-09-2010 11:06am

I quite enjoyed Case Zero. The paddle saw thing was hilarious. So I'm kind of looking forwards to DR2. It's not on the top of my want list, but it's definitely something I'll pick up.

Can't understand how you think the save system hasn't changed. There is now four save slots instead of one. And there is more places to save in each area.

djkeogh · 21-09-2010 12:08pm

I started off hating the original Dead Rising game as the save system was hard to get my head around. Once I levelled up and got used to the system I loved. Having played Case Zero I loved it again so I'm thinking DR2 is gonna be a first day purchase.

Cheeky!

In all seriousness though, those are games I want to play. The likes of Cars etc are the ****e for the yearly challenge!

djkeogh · 22-09-2010 11:13am

put my preorder in for this on Gamesnash yesterday so I'll have to try make some time to dig into it over the weekend. Now to find something for the wife and kid to do that doesn't involve me.

I hope so because Case Zero still had a few bits that were pissing me off. I cannot wait for this game (barring bad reviews).

Mr. K · 22-09-2010 8:38pm

I got 200 from Case Zero during the weekend, so I'm set for 2. Really looking forward to it!

Was wondering the same, hmv have been good lately with stuff with the game like points or a dvd / blueray so could see them doing a zombie related freebie with it perhaps, all I know is I'll be shopping around tomorrow.

Clover · 23-09-2010 11:25am

Have it pre-ordered in hmv for €44.99 with the zombie figure and zombieland on blu-ray , going to use the €5 gift card I got when I picked up reach in hmv . so it should cost me €39:99 .

That's a great deal. And Zombieland is an excellent flick. Is the zombie figure of decent size/material?

The dolly is 30cm I believe.

djkeogh · 23-09-2010 2:15pm

sweet deal alright. Ya can't beat a good Zombie figure either. Really looking forward to getting stuck into this tomorrow.

joker87 · 23-09-2010 3:37pm

Clover · 23-09-2010 3:51pm

Not so far , hmv rang me yesterday to tell me that my order was ready in store for me but that I could not buy it until friday.

Couldn't agree with this, loving my first play through and already looking forward to my second.

The first was a better game overall though, better story and better characters.

i think id rather carve my face off than play through it again

really didnt like it at all, but the joys of video games mean that plenty of people will love it

dazftw · 23-09-2010 9:15pm

Actually can't wait to get this tomorrow. Im working tomorrow night but going get up early to play it. I think I played through case zero 4 times
