Yeah, this game treats the survivor thing a little differently. In the other games the protagonists were very active in rescuing people and bringing them to a saferoom with the intent of them being rescued. In this game, Nick will help people and bring them to a saferoom sometimes, but that's where his involvement ends. There is no larger plan to rescue people.

Aw and here I was envisioning some mad dash attempt to drive a bus through the chaos of the city to pick people up from every safehouse before the bombs dropped. He might as well be leaving them to the zombies at this rate.

Haha yeah the combo vehicles have the same aesthetic as the combo weapons in that they're supposed to look cobbled together. It goes double for the Junk vehicles. Still, pretty much every combo vehicle has some offensive capability and more durability than the regular vehicles.

If you were trying to have all survivors recorded in the log for the achievement then the Poker Assholes could screw you up due to the 8 survivor limit imposed on the game world, my solution was always to just kill them since they are still recorded in the log even when dead. :v:

It's absolutely easier to do everything in this game. I think I mentioned it in early on, but there are no hidden missions or survivors. The closest thing would be like that one survivor who would stab herself if you don't stop her. But every side mission is given to you by phone call, and they're only given 2 or 3 at a time, and you never really have to worry about running out of time in the main story. So much easier.

Seems to be way chiller yeah, especially if you actually share XP with the DLC, which as far as I can tell had no time limit whatsoever?

Dead Rising 2 is a great game and if it's 66% off I definitely recommend it. I've never played Off the Record, but from what I've read, you should play DR2 first and then play OtR as a weird alternate universe version of the story.

I was fairly certain they had removed the GFWL requirement for DR 2 pretty much the day of the sale (though there's apparently still some issues with the DLC needing it?). Also if you wanted to get DR 3 for marginally cheaper at the moment: http://www.nuuvem.com.br/produto/2340-dead-rising-3-apocalypse-edition

Main problem is that it's still mostly playing the same game twice, which may or may not be a bad thing in this instance. It works best as a companion, but if you only play one the gameplay is significantly enhanced, there's a whole new area, better main character (okay, this one's just preference) and just generally a great ultimate edition of the best Dead Rising.

Off the Record assumes you love Frank West, and you should, because he's the best Dead Rising protagonist as he just does not give a poo poo, he only went to the mall in DR 1 for a story and to get famous, he didn't give a gently caress about saving people until he met Isabella.

And I'm pretty sure he didn't give a gently caress about actually saving people for humanitarian reasons, but for getting interviews and stories from them after getting out.

Both. Other videos have HD options and your earlier videos do as well but this one restricts me to 360p.

Ok, I both can't and won't refute either of these claims. However, I'm going to be the guy who shows up and says in a whiny and nasally voice, "But Dead Rising 2 is canon, and the story matters!"

That being said, yeah Dead Rising 2 with Frank, plus photography and a "selfie" attack, it sounds loving awesome. In fact, I almost wonder if they started making it just for fun and then realized that was probably the game they should have made in the first place.

The most likely culprit is the way youtube processes videos. Youtube starts from lowest quality to highest quality, so you probably tried to watch it as soon as he published it. I just watched it and the 480p and up were available as choices.

Off the Record only exists because fans of the game wanted Frank West and the camera back, and the plot of Off the Record is the same as 2 but it has a few new twists designed specifically to throw off veteran players of 2.

Not to mention the game in general is much harder than 2, having an even greater number of zombies on screen at once and making those rear end in a top hat Looters stronger and spawning in new locations.
