First I've heard of it. Capture and upload some footage to SkyDrive.

I'll boot it up and see if its still happening. Will get some footage. The game is probably more eerie without zombies...very lonely.
Yup. With the bikers. And most survivors are found in zombie free areas, sometimes pretty large ones, too.
Man, is this really a further departure from the series than something like Dead Rising 2? I totally don't see that. This game feels like what Dead Rising 2 should have been. Like I said in my last post, nothing will ever top the original Dead Rising for me, but it has a lot more going for it from what I've played than the second one. All three of the mainline DR titles still follow a similar fundamental structure/flow. I wouldn't even say this game has implemented those modern "AAA" gaming philosophies, at least not to the extent as other games/series have over the years. The normal story mode does seem a lot more forgiving, but isn't that what the Nightmare difficulty/mode is for? At least there's a more hardcore/challenging mode/difficulty available beyond the "campaign".
I mean, what's so particularly watered down about this game compared to the other ones? I haven't gotten THAT far yet, but from what I could tell this more or less feels like a Dead Rising game to me. I find the Dead Rising 2 features/systems (crafting/building weapons) much more streamlined (which you could say is watered down/simplified), but because of these decisions I find the game MUCH more fun and enjoyable to play. You're saying you haven't been this disappointed since Deus Ex: Invisible War? Invisible War still felt like a Deus Ex game but Dead Rising 3 doesn't feel like Dead Rising? Really? See, I felt that way when I went from the original game to Dead Rising 2. I'm really fascinated that Dead Rising 2 didn't make you already feel that way, hah!
For me, I'm beyond that grieving state/phase where Capcom (or any developer) could produce classics like the original Dead Rising. I'm impressed enough that Capcom Vancouver has captured enough of what I enjoy/value most out of Dead Rising.
dunno if any of you know about this but when you start the Overtime or True ending, the time is frozen and you can literally do all your achievement stuff. as long you don't trigger the cut scene at the roof in ingleton for the next part, there will be no time limit.

Its the part where it tells me to go to the sewers. Not sure if that's a no zombie part but I have access to the entire map. Fairly early on still.
I was reading about disappearing/invisible NPCs and there was a quick fix where you you had to hard reset your Xbox to fix it. Power it off and unplug the machine from the back and then hook it back up and boot it back on.
everything carries over. the weapon creation ones are a pain. only trials left for me at the moment.

I've played this for about 8 or so hours now and I really, really like it. The zombie count is ridiculous, and I really like how they've expanded on combo weapons. Huge step up from DR2, which I already liked a lot.
Made some panoramas:
Awesome. How did you score these? is there an upload app for it or something?
Also to other dude: I'll respond to you fully in time, but essentially my feelings on DR2 was that it featured enough of the DR core that the offsets felt like offsets, and you could thus ignore them, while in DR3 everything seems to super dumbed down with no option out. Nightmare mode is kind of an embarrassing afterthought. I started the game there, and felt like I was playing an afterthought that was added after the initial e3 reveal and rushed to meet the release date. FFS there's no time limits on the main missions thus there's no way to adequately gauge time unless you've played the game before, and even then...
That being said I still like the fact the zeds and the bosses are actually a threat on this mode vs normal where they are essentially nothing more than combo fodder there for you to combo on and such. I just wish they had spent more time actually evaluating it on a first time run vs a hard mode secondary run for experienced players. I admit my last post was a little hyperbolic considering I ran through the last three bosses by standing still and throwing electric lamp shots at them + having to sit around and wait on things to do, but still. I just wish they would have preserved a little bit of that DR1 stuffs where you had to make real choices in real time (due to the save system) on who to save and who to let die. Even since it came out I haven't played a game that has honestly made me think that "oh shit, that dude is going to die unless I save him...but that other dude is also going to die unless I save /him/...so who should I save?". That's what I've always loved about DR1 imo. That feeling of helplessness in accordance with the fun humor allowed for such an encgaging experience, but now it's like: "oh yeah you can really save anyone you want with more than enough time to wreck everyone else so yeah...so what you want". Instead of feeling like I had to save that person, it;s more of an afterthought, you know?
But that's just me. I still like playing the game despite all this and honestly take back the IW complaint, even though it is still a disappointing entry in a series I love oh so much.

My friend did when he joined my game once.
I used a program called MICE. Best to use 2 images as a 3rd one for third person action games can be tricky to pull off.
There's no 100k from scratch one......
It's 200k
:/
I've yet to do it. Only achievement I'm missing is the PP trials. So tedious and boring.
There's the achievement for complete all PP Trials.
You have to do 5k, 10k, 50k, 70k and 200k zombie kills. Each trial is separate, they don't stack. It SUCKSSSS
Made some panoramas:
these are great. awesome. you should try some toward the ends of the final few days when its absolutely packed with bodies. its actually really ridiculous how many zombies fill the streets then.
Just played through that. You have to go in the door in the back BUT it was also a psycho mission. I'm guessing you can't go in until you get the prompt for it.
I was wondering about that too.
you have to advance/progress the story to get updates. if smartglass simply isnt working, try starting the game through the app and then starting the companion

What kind of restart? console restart or game restart?
dude thats great. haha. outside of framerate problems i havent seen anything close to this.
Both?
Definitely restarted the APP. I may have reloaded the game.
Don't remember because I left to do some stuff and came back to the game.

Love this game. I'm at level 50 and do not want it to end. After you complete the game, can you keep playing to level up more? I want to max out all my stats. The Ultimate Grim Reaper is a beast of a weapon!

Co-Op is fun. Getting together is a little different than you are used to with a game that has a lobby system.
But once you two are in the world together its a lot of fun. Vehicles can hold both of you guys so you can just drive around.

Been playing coop with my bro, lots of fun. Little weird to set up, have to join a party then have the main player invite you in.
Only downside is you spawn in with no weapons, little annoying when you get geared up and get kicked due to a connection error. Rejoin the game and all your weapons are gone.
It has been lots of fun, but a tad on the easy side.

Zombie slaying should be on the easy side... makes for awesomeness... In all seriousness though it kinda sucks hearing it is on the easy side. I like stressful coop games at times.

Those Psycho battles are no joke. Maybe easier in coop although I haven't tried it with anyone else.
Awesome, thanks. Will buy my buddy a copy and jump in.
