I tried to go to the bathroom, and I hit B, he wouldn't take off his clothes. He just did some movement. I don't know whats wrong here...

But some good news is I got a 3,388 PP picture :D. Instead of taking a picture of that kid taking a picture, I took one of him doing a drop kick on an ass load of zombies.
I know what to do. Go to the security room, go to that place were you can save your game. Behind you are some stairs, go under them, there are some boxes there. Press B and you'll get back to normal clothes.

Thanks alot LEBATO. It worked. I also finally killed the psychos in the jeep.

EDIT: WTF. I killed them! The jeep was destroyed, and I go to complete "Mother's Lament" and they come right back? Ok, I've had it with this game. With crap like this, EGM had every right to give this game an average score of 7.5!

The psychos respawn once or twice...it's a good way to get more PP. After I stole their truck and ran over a few thousand zombies they never came back.

Well, it was definately unexpected for me. I guess I'll just hang out in the park and try to take them out with Uzis and hand guns.

They are pretty stupid though. I have killed them twice already and have passed through the park about 30 times and either I don't see them, I see them really far away--stuck, or I just dodge them. I'm going to try and kill them again and see if they die already. I really don't care since I'm a few cases away from finishing the game.

Escort missions are ridiculous in this game. I killed the giant fat woman holding all those girls hostage. RIDICULOUS trying to keep them following you. RIDICULOUS. Capcom really could've put some thought into this game and made it not only fun but CONVENIENT for missions to be completed.

This game is really going down from an 8, to a 7 for me. Save system, awkward missions, stump dumb NPC AI, too many zombies...no lights at night. The list goes on. I only wish I had caught more of these when I completed the Dead Rising survey.

I agree with you on most of those things (not the score). There's a mission where you can take about 4-5 hostages, I only got to the security room with 1..........do I care? No, why should I care? Seriously, you get frustrated, but I rather laugh seeing them die. After all, that doesn't affect the main story--and to me, that's what matters.

I haven't killed the fat woman nor the clown with the chainsaws, weird.

And if you haven't completed a mission where you have to go under the mall to do *something*, you haven't seen enough zombies. There's A LOT of zombies there and carlito is driving a truck trying to run you over..........seeing as how you can't deal with this stuff, the game might end up being a 6 for you, lol. Anyways, if you haven't gotten there, get the bike and make sure carlito doesn't blow it up, you also should take lots of orange juice and a few shotguns, lol.

With the problems, I'm still enjoying the game and I'm having lots of fun. To me, it's a solid 8.5-9.0, believe that.

I like the game, but its really the little things that bug me. I too am having fun, but I'm just getting the crap annoyed out of me with the side missions. We'll see how this run goes. So far so good. I ransacked Cletus' store and I'm packin 3 Shotguns, 2 Handguns, 2 Hunting Knives, and 1 Sniper rifle. I don't know what can possibly take me down in this game now.

BTW, those occult guys are something else. Raincoats, TNT, green masks?! Sounds like Sesame Street on sweeps week!

Yeah, the game is overall really weird. Two hours before the chopper comes for me. The story.......let's just say is something to look forward to later on in the game. And I didn't know you can completely miss scoop missions (like fighting that fat cop), but now I do, so I know there's something to look forward to when I start a new game. So far I know I missed the clown and the cop. Well, I didn't know many things first time through.

Let me know what you think of anything else you find.

Why should there be lights at night? you're in a zombie infested mall and you're complaining about the lack of adequate lighting?

Good idea on the light saber, but seeing as how there are lights on in the day time and early in the night, you'd think they'd stay on all the time. I don't know how malls work, but I always assumed someone turned the on and off, not auto timed controlled. But who knows. It would've been more convenient if there'd been light, but I've gotten used to it anyway.

I like the lack of lights at night, playing this at night with 5.1 can be pretty creepy when the you can barely see their red beady eyes.....

Uh, I just beat the game a couple of hours ago and the problems just keep on coming up. I still think the game is really good, but it has these noob mistakes.

We all know about the damn font size, AI, and save system, but here are some other annoyances (some made more so because of the ones I just listed).

Escort missions=pain in the ********

Convicts on hummer=pain in the ******* because they keep on respawning

Final boss battle=PITA bceause you have to fight 2 bosses and I had to retry like 10 times.

Some bosses=PITA because they are so harsh at times, they'll hit you once and throw you to the ground, when you are barely getting back up they get you again and again, much like what happens in those glitchty wrestling games.

Modes=PITA. Why can't they explain what a mode does? I have to go and read the gamespot guide to know what the modes I unlock are all about, and even they don't really know how they work completely.

Shooting the special forces guy in the night=PITA. Phaethon, if you thought you had seen it all, there's more to come as far as night time goes.

And lastly, there's no real free roam mode. In the unlimited time mode you lose a square of health every 1.5 minutes which is stupid and not what many of us were looking forward to that. And you might say "just play the 72 hour mode and don't do the missions" NO, it's not that easy. Some areas are locked in the beggining and that also means we'll be fighting the scoop guys (including the annoying convicts), making it not a true freeroam mode. We'll see what capcom does about all this, I don't see how hard it would be to implement a true free roam mode and a bigger font size, what I think are the biggest dissapointments.

I like the game, it takes a little getting used to, and a ton of effort. I was hoping the full game would be more like the demo. I haven't beaten the game yet, I'm going to soon. Just getting tired of some of the problems LEBATO mentioned. I should just worry about the story missions rather than the other ones, but sometimes, I don't want to wait for them occur, so I try something new.

I like games I can just sit down and play whenever. I don't have alot of time. DR is difficult because you not only have to find a savepoint, you've got to get to that save point. Takes time. I don't want to lose my progress, but I gotta rush out the door! So part of the reason I haven't beaten the game yet is because I can't devote the time required to the game. Sucks, but the games so much fun when you get into it.

College doesn't start for 2 weeks for me, so I do have time right now.

@Panzer, I know the font size is fine on HDTV, but you are in the minority who own an HDTV AND play their 360 on it. So it is Capcom's problem, not ours.

Well 360 games were meant to be played on an HDTV to get the most out of them.

Capcom should've test this on an SDTV. It's like the King Kong problem. Where on a normal tv the screen was incredibly dark. Hopefully there will be a patch for you LEBATO.

Yeah, hopefully. There's a lot of people complaining about this in all forums including the capcom forums. Someone from capcom replied and said they were looking into it, we'll see.

are you saying he's in the minority of hdtv owners or xbox 360+ hdtv owners? cuz microsoft said 64% of 360 owners have HDTVs.

that's not a commentary on the text being too fucking small, because it is, even on an hdtv, I'm just saying, if you're playing 360 on an SDTV, you're in the minority.

LINK? I just don't believe it.

And who cares really, they (capcom) need to get it right and test their games on more than 1 TV.

when they talked about the hd dvd add-on.

http://www.videobusiness.com/article/CA6360290.htm...

"He also offered Microsoft research to show there’s high interest levels for HD DVD among Xbox 360 users. He said that 30% of people who want to purchase games already have high-def displays, and 64% of Xbox 360 users already own high-def displays."

sorry, you're among the minority.

LOL there is no way of actually knowing this though, just because MS makes a guess they have no 100% proof that this number is accurate in any way.

Unless of course they can detect peoples settings through XBL and even if they can, then you need to take into account the amount of people who don't use XBL.

so what would provide "actually knowing this"? when you say it's true? I'd assume that microsoft has actually ASKED people what they have, being that they sell the console in question, they have some limited access to its buyers.

They have much more data to go on than you or anyone else does, so tell us jolli, who should we go to to find out how many xbox 360 owners have HDTVs?

you have 0% proof that the number is false, vs. their "no 100% proof" that the number is accurate.


whatever man, I believe whatever jolli says.
