Dead Rising 3 latest vid just got me very interested in the game.

So once you complete the story, can you continue picking up the collectables? In a free roam mode?

Ah, yeah I remember that bit. Seems like it may have glitched on you

Yeah

No worries, not like I won't be playing through this again. The companion app is quite buggy, sometimes it won't even work till you restart the game on the Xbox.

Nope, but it does remember everything you picked up, so if you start a new game you'll only have a handful of items left to get. I expect to have all the collectibles by the end of my next playthrough.

The companion app was buggy for me last night, wouldn't recognise I was in the game.

Got to chapter 4 last night, need to plough on through it. Easily the best game available at the moment.

Ah that bugged side mission with the evidence has reset now, hopefully it works this time.

So stumbled across a sex shop, be rude not to get a new outfit.

jamesy505 · 28 Nov 2013 at 14:50

Sure that isnt a mirror?

antijoke · 28 Nov 2013 at 15:21

LOL.

And people say he game is too serious.

Wyrdo · 28 Nov 2013 at 16:22

I took a photo of myself in that outfit as soon as I found it too

Yup, easily my favourite weapon for mass crowds of zombies. Not quite as useful against some bosses as it can be a little slow to swing, so I use the Elemental Staff for that. I always carry one of each, along with Frank's Zombie Slugger, a Heavy Metal, and a gun/crossbow of some kind (plus a combo drink). I'm always well equipped for all situations then

What attributes are people levelling up? I'm not far in still but gone mainly for HP and inventory.

I started with Inventory and Health, with the odd bit of Melee thrown in. I pretty much maxed out Inventory and Health before putting points into the others like Mechanic, Agility or Smarts.

CliffyG · 29 Nov 2013 at 13:47

I did put a point into melee but was unsure if melee was fists only.

Nope, it'll help with weapon damage and weapon durability as well

Health (maxed out) and mechanic (max mechanic out and vehicles are indestructible), now health is fully maxed I'm going for melee.

You can only get the indestructable vehicles bit when you hit level 50, and you put another 4 points into Mechanic. If you're only after that particular benefit I'd upgrade that much later on.

I want it max level so when I hit 50 (only 20 levels to go, and still on chapter 5) I can get indestructible cars right away.
