I had to use a guide to find those ladders, I tried sniping one of them but it was a bit of a pain.

Whoa, is this region locked on Steam?

It has the following disclaimer!

"Notice: Capcom requires that this game will not install or update when connecting from an IP address attributed to Germany."

I'm US military stationed in Germany. Wonder if it will let me buy it.

 

[Tizoc]

As someone who liked DR2 (but HATED the bosses), will I like this as well?
Sorry for asking such a question but with all the games coming out now, this one's not exactly high on my list ^_^;

Germany has some crazy censorship laws and sometimes publishers simply choose to not release a game there rather than change it.

They toned down a lot of the psychopaths and you can beat a lot of them with the Spiked baseball bat. With the new save system I never really felt stuck. Most of the new psychopath battles are pretty easy once you know the pattern (they did change up a few of their patterns).

There were only 2 psychopaths I had problems with while completing the game:

Ted and Snowflake since I was level 1, I'll probably wait for new game+.
Slappy was hard since I didn't have any ranged weapons.

 

[Tizoc]

Thanks, that's a relief, lol. Well will see if I can get it for a good price later this month =)

I have the PS3 version. The engine is definitely a lot more cleaned up than Dead Rising 2. The colors are brighter and the framerate (excluding Uranus Zone) seems more stable. Excluding the initial load (which is the longest) the load times seem slightly better but are still quite long for the amount of data they install (3.95 gigs).

Thanks for the info, wish I could see some screens of this. So the game doesn't look washed out and the game seems more stable? What about screen tearing, it was by far the most annoying thing.

Watched some YouTube vids of the PS3 version and the screen-tearing is still there with a vengeance i'm afraid.

Its hard to tell with youtube as sometimes its not the game that's tearing but the capture equipment used. That said I would not be surprised if it were still an issue, its not like I could honestly expect Blue Castle to take the extra year to optimize the the engine......

 

[B-Dex]

So can someone tell me the difference between just hitting A to start a new game ona cleared story save and pushing X for new game +?

As far as I can tell they both do the same thing. Although if you hit X for new game + it gives a warning saying you keep your levels etc... and just hitting A for new game doesn't but you keep everything anyways.....

 

[SmithnCo]

I have the PS3 version too and this is definitely improved over vanilla DR2. Still noticing screen tearing but I don't think it's as bad.

 

[Digishine]

Bought it yesterday and finished it now.

Meh is the feeling that I got from it.

Grab the watergun from inside the toy store. Shooting him with that will stun him.

So I really want to get this.......I have one big question though, does my save from Dead Rising 2 transfer over to Off The Record?

no. it only check if there dr2 save's if so it unlocks a jacket

Thanks.....that kinda sucks.

Jup indeed. tbh it feels more like an DLC then a game.

I'll take it, if I can play co-op sandbox that is.

Yes u can play it co-op

Sweet. Thanks for all the info man.

Also, did Case West ever come out for PS3? I went to the PS store and did not see it on there....

No those are exclusive on xbox 360 reason is capcom was doing a favor for the original dead rising 1 fan's

Ah yes...I do remember hearing that would be the case for those. Were they any good?

 

[SlasherJPC]

I have a copy on the way. I figured this would be awesome to play through with the improvements in load time and other features since I never completed DR2.

Damn, is the game that short?

 

[B-Dex]

It's just as long as the original. Sandbox mode adds a lot more to do so I'd say overall it's a bit longer.

 

[Digishine]

The first DLC was good I liked it. The Second one cast west I also liked it gives u some hints where it could go with Dead Rising 3

 

[slick7rick]

is this worth getting if i haven't played any dead rising game? i only have the ps3, so i can't play the original (which i hear is the best).

 

[Chinner]

shame you can't play the original because it's brilliant. i'm not sure what version you should choose. OTR's appeal is that it has Frank and the mood of the writing is a bit more darker like the original, but DR2 is still pretty good, although I'm finding OTR way more fun at this point.

[Data West]

I don't regret buying this after playing DR2 just because all the dialogue Frank has is great

'In the closet? this is mah favorite place to be'

Ugh. My least favorite part of DR2.

 

[Chinner]

just use legit poker skills, or get the gambling books so you have good cards all the time. pro poker pro skill.

 

[friskykillface]

haha the poker part was one of the better and easier parts of the game, loved playing B^)

haha fossil man look alike or did he give his likeness and voice to the game? never looked into it.

should have had devil fish

 

[Old Gimlet Eyes]

So my friend and his brother told me the co-op save glitch is still in, can anyone confirm that? If so, for shame Blue Castle, for shame..

 

[Chinner]

i dont if its because of frank and the change of mood or because i'm playing this on PC, but i'm enjoying this like a billion more times than dead rising 2.

 

[Crazymoogle]

Must admit once I found out who the new biker boss was, I was totally sold on the game concept. Still unbelievable this version got greenlit, but hilarious event nonetheless!

 

[Dog Problems]

I don't know if anyone cares but there is a mod to have the entire

If you don't want to be spoiled by items that are in the game don't click the link or look at my spoiler.

 

[Orayn]

Damn, is the game that short?

An individual 3-day cycle doesn't take very long to complete. There are, however, multiple endings and a BUTTLOAD of optional missions along the way. It's definitely not a game that you can fully experience with just one play-through.

 

[Chinner]

there are three days for the main story and each day takes 2 real hours to pass. Factor in cutscenes, and load times the game probably takes about 7 hours to pass. Add in overtime it could be reaching 7-9 hours long.

but thats missing the point, dead rising is about replayability.

 

[Dog Problems]

Yeah, I've played through the other two countless times. There some of the few games where I can immediately start a new playthrough once I've finished it.

 

[BY2K]

Ugh. My least favorite part of DR2.

The NPC are cheating bastards.

 

[MC Safety]

I beat the game today, and enjoyed it thoroughly.

I'm very glad Capcom decided to return Frank West to the fore. Chuck Greene was not a very likeable protagonist, despite being designed wholly to be a sympathetic character.

I'm wondering, though, where can I access the costumes I've unlocked? Is there any gameplay functionality for the costumes?

Costumes are in the safehouse washroom. There's a locker in there with all the goods.

 

[Chinner]

i think if you get all 4 parts of the pyschopath costume you get some kind of ability.

Lockers in the bathroom at the safe house area.

the save glitch thing? what a pain in the ass.

i dont if its because of frank and the change of mood or because i'm playing this on PC, but i'm enjoying this like a billion more times than dead rising 2.

aw, you had to go and say this didnt ya?

who am i kidding, im going to buy it either way.

 

[Jintor]

Man, I liked Chuck a great amount. He didn't say a lot and he was very stoic, but he was still a cool guy.

Even the 360 version is more enjoyable, I think it's mainly because of the noticeably faster load times, especially in and out of the safe room.
