i only played dr1 never touched dr2, but i thought it looked awesome BECAUSE it doesn't look cartoony like the first one did. looked much grittier and darker. but i do hope it has the silly weapons and stuff.

From what they have shown, they are removing a bit of the campy stuff, but that could still be in and we just haven't seen it.

I bought my 360 with DR1. It was a fun unique game at the time. I still power it on from time to time and run around as megaman with a real blaster


If its just another "mature" dudebro game now, 0 fux will be gvn.

not sure what you mean bout campy stuff, but i'm just talkin about being able to chop zombies in half with a kitana blade or get a mega man outfit like exdeath is saying, or throw a barbell at a zombie. i hope it's not just all finding guns and baseball bats to "kill" zombies with.

Dudebro you can call artillery and drone strikes on zombies and dude it has 'nades now! Nuh uh no wai dudebro!

The garden shears and ripping out intestines were hilarious in the original.

So it wasn't a game for you but for many many others it was. This is another one of those instances where a publisher takes an existing IP and stripes out all that made it unique to make it appeal to a larger audience while alienating those who made the IP successful.

The whole charm and fun of Dead Rising games was you doing crazy ass shit. Slapping a megaman/lego head on a zombie taking a picture of it and then killing it with a weedwacker all the while you are wearing a dress.

I own and enjoy both DR games on the PC (I had DR1 when it came out on the 360 as well) and loved them because they weren't your run of the mill fifty shades of brown typical games.

They in all honesty could of made this a totally new IP and imo it would had been accepted a lot better and would of gotten more kudos as well for it. As it stands, you piss off previous fans of the IP to appeal to dudebro and others instead.

There is plenty of room for both types, why do we have to continue to watch existing IPs get massacred to cater to a larger audience. They were already popular enough to make multiple games ffs.

You didn't like the original Dead Rising games because of the over the top crazy fun stuff. Many many other people did. Now they are changing the game to appeal to people like you instead (as evidence by your post saying it looked awesome now)

I dont think he said that, just the art style.

He JUST said he enjoyed that crazy shit in the original and hopes its not all guns and 'nades now because it DOES *look* better.

Looks awesome and is awesome are two different things.

I got the art style and game part mixed up when I was reading it. Stop acting like everyone is out to get you. I made a simple mistake, sorry, jeez.

it's just stupid, you wrote a long ass post trying to prove a point against something i didnt even say. i mean i never said ANYTHING about not liking anything about dr1 at all. i just said that i think the new style looks awesome.

only thing i didn't like about dr1 was the whack ass save system and how it had real time stuff.

and i never said anyone is out to get me, i just said you mad that i'm not hating on x1 and "you" ("us" as someone said in another thread).

I hated disposable weapons. When my first katana found 5 minutes into the game started flashing after 10 hits I was pissed.

Dead Island at least you can keep and repair your favorite weapons forever.

I get that it was necessary to get you to experiment and use everything around you and goof off and that was the point of the game instead of just keeping one weapon and playing hack and slash, but still!

You know, I made a simple mistake getting the two things mixed up. The point of the post stands about the whole existing IP things . That was just a rant as I hate seeing it happen to IP's.

I don't know what you want. I made a mistake and apologized for it and you want to act like a douche about it now.

EDIT:
Since you added this in after I quoted you

and i never said anyone is out to get me, i just said you mad that i'm not hating on x1 and "you" ("us" as someone said in another thread).

You sure act like it people are out to get you so don't play stupid. It is fustrating watching you with the whole X1. You turn around and are like screw MS they are crazy, they you are like I'm buying the X1 75%, 100%, no 80, well maybe 85% sure. Super great, whatever, make up your fucking mind already and stop flip flopping like a fish out of water. You sit there and knock them for some dumb ass policies they you turn around and are like, maybe it wont be so bad if I buy some lube first? You know, just let it happen, it will be over soon.

So much passion for what other people want.

I hope Xdildo fails miserably just to send a strong pro consumer anti DRM message to everybody.

But I'm not going to slit my wrists because someone wants to impale themselves on a M$/EA branded fish hook studded dildo in exchange for a couple free or exclusive peanuts and pay as you go breadcrumbs, by all means. :awe:

I had already conceded to spending next gen with a Wii U and all of 5 games for the next 5-10 years if Sony didn't do exactly what I said they needed to do, and they actually did it which absolutely fucking stunned me.

I'm just happy I don't have to be stuck with only a Wii U now!

so because i want to get an xbox1 to play some games, does that mean that i have to be gung ho happy about all of the policies it has? why do i have to make up my mind right now, just because everyone else on the internet has already decided that the ps4 is the way to go and to hate on the x1 is the way to go? it's probably only frustrating to you because i'm one of the 4 or 5 people on these forums who aren't on sony's dick and kicking ms to the curb.

If Sony did the same thing they would be getting treated just as bad and don't even act like that wouldn't be the case. No one here is all over Sony's dick, sure it looks like it because they are doing the right thing, but that just happens to align with doing the right thing.

Never said you had to make up your mind, but we don't need the updates, you bring it on yourself just as much doing that by bring attention to it.

The truly frustrating part of it is, you at least see they are bending over their customers and yet you still are heavily leaning towards lining up for it still.

It really is battered spouse syndrome

the "their customers" that you are referring to isn't me though. i have internet so i'm not worried bout the 24h connected thing at all. i don't sell games so i'm not worried about that either. i very very rarely buy used games so i don't worry about that either. i don't lend out games or borrow games from people either. the only thing that does suck is the rental thing, but we don't know how that is going to work out yet.

the kinect being forced down our throat also sucks, but again, we don't know everything about that yet either. i mean it really won't be that big of a deal to me if i can use the console and have the kinect sitting in my a/v closet plugged in. sure it will suck that i have to pay for it and not use it, but i'm a console fanboy so i don't mind spending money on it.

these unknowns are why i haven't made up my mind yet. hope that is clear enough for you.

oh, and yes, there are PLENTY of people here on sony's dick.

You're drinking the kool-aid man

For about 6 hours you were like "fvck ms and xbone". You are willing to toss that away because of 1 game. That shows pretty low self esteem. (I'm just screwing with you btw, don't get all butthurt).

LMAO! Somehow that feels about right.

Arrogance fairly radiates from the Xbox people during interviews. Their focus groups must have provided far different reactions or something. They seem confident they are going to kill it. But as it stands now, most people are as likely to buy it, as they would be if you told them they will get cancer from playing it.

That guy is very annoying.
Good, it is not just me then. I don't know if it is the shirt, the hair, the beard, the voice, the bad impression of AVGN or all of it combined, but I could not watch a full minute of that vid. I would have a hell of a time dealing with the fact it is not legal to gut punch him, if I was in that room.
