hey guys, anyone know if Dead rising 2 has gone on sale early anywhere??

Gunmonkey · 23-09-2010 4:19pm

Have heard of some people who know people that work in gamestores playing it, doubt they are selling it just yet.

Whats the big rush? Its only like a week till it comes out, why do people HAVE to have games early. Had a friend who threw a gigantic hissy-fit because GAME wouldnt sell Mafia 2 the day before since they didnt have the retail codes, I was standing there thinking "WTF is wrong with you, its just a game you will be buying tomorrow??"

Let's stay on topic.
You can either help OP, or ignore thread.

It's out tomorrow.

Inclined to agree with you but I do tend to try and get games as early as possible (edit: legally :P) myself for games I'm really excited about.

Went up to the Square as soon as I read your post. Was going to get the game next week, but a free Zombieland blu-ray was too good an offer to miss.

Just back from HMV in the Square, was about 10 blu-ray behind counter when I left.
Don't know how many zombie figures are there, they were in a box.

Clover · 24-09-2010 12:12pm

The zombieland blu-ray is a great bonus , such a good film.

I could probably get the answer to this question more quickly by visiting gamestop or ign but what the hell ! Boards.ie is free and is for asking questions so here goes

It went on sale today.

jmx009 · 24-09-2010 1:53pm

Strange According to gamespot and IGN the game is coming out on 28th. Could be that europe has a earlier release date. Its always nice when we get stuff earlier than the yanks !

Micky Dolenz · 26-09-2010 5:35pm

Just picked it up, should pass away the next few hours nicely, oh I do love these Zombie killing Sundays

Grumpypants · 26-09-2010 6:57pm

Had a 9 euro voucher from buying F1 so i got DR2, zombieland blu ray little zombie figure for 36 euro cant complain. Except that the game is pretty poor but i had played the first one so i was prepared for that.

Why oh why cant games developers make a single good zombie game without messing it up.

Grayditch · 26-09-2010 7:53pm

I didn't like the first one. I bought this hoping it would be different. It's not, but for some reason I like it now.

ollie1 · 26-09-2010 8:07pm

Just bought the game today and the loading times are really annoying me but otherwise its a alright game.

Star Bingo · 26-09-2010 10:54pm

big mistake buying this one lol.. did it really merit the special edition(s) treatment? nah. not nearly a major release. should carry an under 15s cert - guess i'll trade it for fifa at the weekend

tonydude · 26-09-2010 11:40pm

hope its not that bad im expecting it in the post tomorrow, i played the first one and trying to save the survivors really annoyed me, so much so i got rid of it

Star Bingo · 27-09-2010 1:26am

lots of that bro =( and a lot of patience, required. valid concept but for me the sh*tty build ain't worth it

AnCapaillMor · 27-09-2010 8:12am

Nice game but the whole time thing is killing me. good concept but applied in an annoying way. Never thought i'd miss autosave so much.

NotorietyH · 27-09-2010 9:02am

I'm really enjoying it anyway. They've fine-tuned the more frustrating aspects of the first game and made them less frustrating. There's much more save points around the place, and I for one always liked the time aspect. Creates a great sense of tension.

The combo weapons are fun and the co-op seems really solid. All in all I love it. It's pure Dead Rising, and that's a good thing in my eyes.

Yeah, I really like it. some random guy jumped into my game and kicked some undead ass which helped a lot.

No you don't have to stand there for 2 hours, you can wander outside for a while and kill nearby zombies to level up. Sounds like it's you making it difficult for yourself to like the game.

Also Left 4 Dead rocks. I don't understand where it's been stated that all zombies have to be slow and lumbering. God forbid someone tries a different treatment or variation on the concept. Left 4 Dead as a game is outstanding. If it was werewolves not zombies or infected that you were facing in Left 4 Dead would you still call it a bad game?

In terms of the shambling, slow-moving zombies, Dead Rising captures it perfectly if you ask me and the first was basically Dawn of the Dead the game. Capturing the tone and sometime sense of monotony in mowing down endless zombies, only for you to be killed by a horde of them when you leave your guard down for a moment. What I love about Dead Rising is that you can be attacking one group of zombies oblivious to the fact that a crowd of zombies have slowly formed behind you and you're about to be overwhelmed. It's that slow tension in contrast to the constant, edgy tension of Left 4 Dead.
