Dead Rising Megathread v.2 - Everyone knows Slappy! - Games

[QUOTE=Rusty100;25376964]how is that a double standard, different games work differently, and l4d is a multiplayer game, that's like saying if you die in halo multiplayer, master chief should be dead in the actual game storyline it's not the same thing at all[/QUOTE] theres a setting in torchlight that does that. If you die, your character gets deleted and you have to start from the beginning with a completely new character

[QUOTE=Rusty100;25376993]exchange my example for a game which has a multiplayer where you play as the same character from the storyline the point is, zombie bites are a part of dead rising. you can't say it's assumed you don't get bitten, even if you do, it's guaranteed you will.[/QUOTE] I understand what you're trying to say, but in a game where the story is mostly revealed by cutscenes (such as Dead Rising or GTA or any free roam game most of the time) unless it tells me he's been bitten then I can say he's either infected or immune, but until then I don't think so.

yes, but if it doesn't specify, you can't confirm it OR deny it you have as much ground as I do as far as a real reason goes, both are speculations, although i choose to believe some people are immune, i'm not saying that's a fact, but it makes the most sense.

So Chuck is clearly dead right? I mean, if gameplay is ALWAYS DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO THE STORY then he's clearly been eaten by zombies.

seriously going to say that death counts too? death is the only thing that doesn't count because you have to just try again and not die this time - once again, totally different, and you know.

We having a dick waving contest about the fact Chuck gets chomped on regularly but never turns or needs zombrex? Yeah I had a hard time flat out ignoring that myself. Lazy developers, I don't really buy into this cutscene vs gameplay bullshit. You're inhabiting a world full of zombies for all intensive purposes Chuck is in that world and in that world when zombies bite people, you become infected and turn in a matter of seconds or a matter of hours. That's the bottom line, lazy devs. They did all this and then someone said "Hey, what happens when Frank/Chuck gets bitten?!" "Ahh..fuck it they'll be having so much fun they won't notice" It's a nescessary flaw tbh I can't think of any way of making it realistic without ruining gameplay, accept it. Chuck has godmode.

[QUOTE=gbtygfvyg;25377171]Frank is infected though and he does use Zombrex (well in DR1 he used an experimental version but his immune system was so amazing he wouldn't turn for like 3-4 days.[/QUOTE] So Frank plausibly could have been munched on as much as he liked but was so badass he didn't turn for ages and then took some Zombrex. Okay, at least it's got some plausibility. This doesn't take care of Chucky though..

He had a tolerance, and I'm saying Chuck must have an outright immunity. Only thing that makes sense, other than the overwhelming fact that there just is no explanation.

Simple Chuck is immune. [editline]13th October 2010[/editline] I already said that and you bitched about not having evidence. I'd think him not turning should be evidence enough.

You can be immune to a parasite? (no honestly can you? I've never heard of that) The zombies are all controlled by parasites (don't know how a bite can transfer a parasite but let's just go with that for now) In DR1 the experimental zombrex that you make is explained to stop the growth of the parasite until it wears out, once that happens the parasite will grow as if nothing ever happened (until zombrex or whatever is used again where it'll stop in its tracks and grow normally after it wears off)

Interesting point, I don't think you can be immune to a parasite. I mean what it doesn't like the taste of Chuck's blood? I think it's just an out and out slip up, we can take the easy option and believe Chuck is Immune.. which doesn't make sense or believe the devs didn't give a shit, which makes more sense.. haha!

Wait it's a parasite? I must have missed that. It acts more like a virus though.

[QUOTE=Janus Vesta;25377330]Wait it's a parasite? I must have missed that.

Alternatively part 2 play Dead Rising 1, watch Kent psychopath cutscene (or youtube)

Anyone up for a bit of unserious coop zombie killing? I wanna level up, and need someone to show me some good ways to do so.

In DR1 I only got ending D.

[QUOTE=gbtygfvyg;25377376] Holy crap dude, I got ending A on my first playthrough, always made sure I had a skateboard for quick travel.[/QUOTE] I only had a lend of it. I got to level 20 and barely finished it. The guy started asking for it back the day after he gave it to me.

[QUOTE=Janus Vesta;25377367]In DR1 I only got ending D.[/QUOTE] seriously? might want to rectify that. i got the true ending the first playthrough

[QUOTE=Legend286;25377451]How would I obtain the dynamite, and where would I find a scratch card?[/QUOTE] By memory there's dynamite at the maintenance door leading down to where you first come across the mercs/TK. I haven't gotten too far in the story yet so I dunno other places. Also, anyone know what the combo is for knife gloves? Don't have the card yet. I read that they're good for killing Antoine. I nearly got him first time round with a single nailbat, the fucker did his pounce bullshit on me.

[QUOTE=Legend286;25377451]How would I obtain the dynamite, and where would I find a scratch card?[/QUOTE] Scratch cards are obtained when you make a combo weapon but don't actually have the combo card for it. For example lets say I don't have the knife gloves (bear claws), if I don't have the combo card, "hey let me go take boxing gloves and mix it with a bowie knife" BAM scratch card aquired. I don't know where to obtain the dynamite, I still haven't gotten this game because i'm short on money.

you want to know what the combo is for something called [b]knife[/b] and [b]gloves[/b]? i'll let you guess

I know where to get boxing gloves, but where's the closest place near the safe room to get knives?

In my interpretation Chuck is immune.

Zombies carry em around sometimes.

[QUOTE=BoosLee;25377531]I know where to get boxing gloves, but where's the closest place near the safe room to get knives?[/QUOTE] Get out of the room,go left, there is a knife ontop of the newsletterstand(Yesterday + Tomorrow) just in front of th sports-shop with the gloves.

[QUOTE=BoosLee;25377531]I know where to get boxing gloves, but where's the closest place near the safe room to get knives?[/QUOTE] Just outside the saferoom in Royal Flush Plaza, there's a newspaper stand or whatever. On top of it there's a Bowie Knife. EDIT: Damn ninjas

Also can someone link that 1.1 trainer? I miss freeze time.
