Is that phone thing that Nick is using supposed to have a camera? It's starting to get annoying how the dude calling you can seem to see everything enough to give quests but not enough to stop making you go from Point R to point F but then it turns out that you need to go to points K, V, E to get the stuff. Is it that much of a pain to tell us 'Oh hey the evidence moved, I see one of the zombies carrying it is over by the bank, head over there.

I really like phone dudes acting it's very... naturalistic I guess. I'm not sure what the real term for it would be but it feels less like acting and more what a weird burnout dude would actually say.

Jamie (That is the douchebag's name right?) is the least enjoyable character in the DR series I've seen so far. Even down to the way he speaks make me picture a greasy pompous rear end in a top hat that I'd never do a favor for, let alone favors that involve zombies. Even when Otis was constantly calling Frank at the worst times imaginable, he was still a polite guy about it and trying to help out.

Agreed, though, Jamie... Jamie is like The Dude, from Big Lebowski, with absolutely no redeeming or entertaining qualities at all, or plot support to make him less annoying or enjoyable.

Man, a whole bunch of Jamie haters up in here. I mean, when he does his whole "hey you should do this thing for me, run along now" it's pretty dickish for sure. Other than that I've always found him kind of endearing. Maybe it's because the game takes itself a little seriously and then you get a phone call that says "Some weird chick doing spooky stuff in the graveyard. Peace."

Jamie is a realistic character in a series known for endless caricature. I'm sure most people know a Jamie and it says a lot if the sorta annoying but friendly dude is what really evokes such loathing in you dweebs.

Just once, I'd like a Zombie game where the Military wasn't evil and the government wasn't behind the outbreak, every single Zombie game has to have some grand conspiracy behind it, I know the Walking Dead, for example has the outbreak just randomly happen, out of the blue one day, it wasn't some super bioweapon being released by evil politicians or rogue Generals or something, so I think anyway. My point is, I'd just like more Zombie games like this, where the powers in charge aren't evil or corrupt for once.

"Extremely dangerous, my rear end"? Really? I think that's one of the only things you CAN tell about Nick. "Do not let this man out of your sight, should be considered armed and extremely dangerous at all times. If the subject is given any respite and any resources he will attack with surprisingly effective homebrew weapons. Human death toll from this one man is in the hundreds, zombie death toll is in the thousands. Even when wearing only a banana hammock he can take dozens of anti-personnel rifle rounds to the chest without dying, and he has demonstrated a capacity to operate on little to no sleep over a seven day period. DO NOT underestimate him, not matter what he is brandishing or wearing." Deceitful Penguin posted:Wow, didn't think they'd have the balls for that! I was sure they were gonna find her in the tent with the others and be all surprised and give our hero a chance to be more awkward and lame. I was certainly expecting some way for Nick to save the day there, I was pretty surprised they went full RE4 on us.

So for whoever was saying that chipping seemed too good to be true? It is! Basically every zombie outbreak has been planned by Phenotrans because they need queens to make Zombrex. Who cares if they kill a few hundred million people, they've got money to make. Chipping isn't to keep the infected contained and tracked, it's so they have an unwitting zombie outbreak at their beck and call. People who self inject would know when they run out and probably take measures when they do.

Not really all that surprising when you think about how much power Umbrella Corp tends to wield. When you consider the scope of their projects it's hard to think of them as having anything less than governmental level power.

That's not strictly speaking quite true. Resident Evil 3 hinted that the US Government had ties to Umbrella and the FBC is a government commission who were the main villains of Resident Evil Revelations and the National Security Advisor to the President is one of the main villains in Resident Evil 6. But it seems to be certain factions within the government rather than the entire government being in on it in Resident Evil's case.

I kind of like how if Red can be trusted (which I'm still iffy on) he actually did get the fuel. Like his inevitable betrayal is still looming, but at least he got the fuel.

 This is your notification that the Dead Rising stuff is a Daily Deal on Steam today! I've never played the PC versions, but I'm sure they're ok? Mr. Fortitude posted:That's not strictly speaking quite true.

But it seems to be certain factions within the government rather than the entire government being in on it in Resident Evil's case. I've always been under the impression that the US and other major governments were funding Umbrella's research, so while the outbreaks were never really conspiracy driven, the existence of the various bioweapons was partly their fault. But then again trying to state facts in the Resident Evil universe is enough to make you go crazy, inject yourself with T/G/Progenitor virus, and grow extra limbs and a glowing weak spot.

DR 2 and off the Record are fine and hell, if you want a great sandbox zombie game, off the record is definitely worth the price-tag. I don't know if 3 is still a super glitchy mess; but at least they have all the DLC packaged with, so there is that.

In Dead Rising 2, the miltary weren't the bad guys, and actually came to save everyone. It, um...didn't go well. Thanks for this LP - I wanted to play Dead Rising 3, since I really liked the others, but I'm not buying an XBone, and I don't have a good enough PC to run it. So at least I get to experience it through this thread.

So did Red park the Fuel Car into the storage unit, and then the King Zombie lifted the grate and got in? Like, what exactly is the sequence of events? Or was it that Red parked the car, and there happened to be a few bodies in there, and in between the time it took him to lock the grate and for Nick to unlock it, one of the corpses mutated? Also, judging by that "claw his own skin off" comment by Rhonda, I'm pretty sure we're either gonna find mutated Diego, or he's gonna turn in front of us, causing us to Old Yeller him, but not before Nick does his usual "oh poo poo" face. Though to be fair, those King Zombies are pretty nasty to look at.

King zombie probably got stuck under/on the car or something on the way. Diego didn't look that stable even without taking zombies into account, he's probably gonna get old yellered either way

It's interesting how this game reverses cutscene competency. In most games the characters can pull off stunts in cutscenes they never could in gameplay. In this game Nick becomes a passive and helpless observer whenever a cutscene starts.

This is the most random tidbit I can think of responding to, but the "bring guns to a foot race" discussion near the start of the last video made me think you guys were talking about the MST3k episode "Mitchell" which actually had that joke, sort of. A bunch of drug dealer goons are literally chasing Joe Don Baker down through a Californian suburb taking shots at him with revolvers that look like track pistols and Joel and the 'bots question the scene by asking "isn't it against the rules to shoot someone in a footrace?"

Hardly unusual in games, see Mass Effect 3 where Cutscene Kai Leng chumps Shepard on a few occasions or when Adam Jenson in Deus Ex turned into a strangely passive idiot when he confronted Zhao Yun Ru, allowing her to effortlessly escape him.

Welp, allow me to be that guy that pauses the video to tell you about the Marines. The short of it is that they were a part of the Navy long ago. Because the navy would sail up to some coastal combat zone, own the waters around the area, and then go 'uh now what? Where are those army guys to go get on land?' and it was a pain in the rear end. So the navy drafted up a section to handle amphibious landings so they could sail in, control the coast and then land troops on the ground with out having to wait for the army to show up. Eventually the Marines became their own branch as the importance and scale of amphibious landings increased. Kind of like how the Air Force used to be a part of the Army until it was realized how important air power was as the technology developed. However in the marines case as technology developed their roll actually shrank, as it became less and less feasible to make amphibious assaults on defended landing sights. You just need to remember the beaches of Normandy to remember why we don't do that any more, and that was 70 years ago.
