Dead Rising

Must be at night time when they appear.....Oh well, twice i've managed to get them stuck behind the same bit......Will be the same tactic

Kainz · 9 Oct 2006 at 22:32

They appear about 3-4 times during the course of the game at day or night times from my experience. Even at lv50 the sods are an irritation.

respawn for me too. I killed all 3 with my sniper rifle and took the jeep for a joyride (which proved they where all dead) and they still appeared when I returned!

Whats the game like at lv50? Is it a breeze just whooping the zombies? Or do you still get munched on a bit?

Horribly easy. I've not legitly died to zombies or physcho's in a long time now.
Because your inventory is so fat, you can hold a good 3-4 books (3xbooks to lengthen adams chainsaw life, and 1x which gives 100% energy from food) and a shedload of weapons. If you ever get surrounded, do the double lairat move, or a quick jump kick to get out of there. Most of my gameplay is via hand to hand combat now because its more fun

Right now I'm doing non survivor related tasks, so if I come across them, I just kill them using my hand to hand moves

Disembowel f t w!

Sounds cool... the thought of having plenty of storage and health just to enjoy going on major killing sprees!

I've only JUST reached level 20, so got miles to go yet... Im now waiting for the chopper to arrive to take me back to civilisation.

only got the game so sorry for stupid question, only on level 8. So if i mess up i keep playing and then restart the entire game i will keep my 'levels' ??

assume it takes a few goes to get level 50 ?

If you die and want to restart, just save and exit and when you start a new game you will still have the level you were at when you died. Thank god.

How do you get the Japanese guys to follow you?

That's the best thing about the game. If you can't save someone, do it the next time round when you're more experienced with the game. You've got freedom to save who you want, when you want.

It took me around 3 re-runs through the game to hit 50, it's easier then it sounds. My first run towards the end of the game took me to lv20...then I used a self discovered exploit if you could call it that (nothing bad) with the special ops which took me to lv30 quite rapidly. Then on my second run I did all the case files+overtime mode which got me lotsa PP, and on my third run I rescued about 40 or so survivors which got me massive amounts of PP taking me rapidly to 50.

In the same bookstore where you find those guys, there'll be a learning/translating japanese book on the floor. Pick that up and chat to them

you mean the guys in the bookstore where you need to have japanese book to understand them? Well if thats the one your on about then its a very easy and short trip as you can use the shortcut in the toilets in wonderland plaza.

Ah yer, just remebered, thats the bit where you fight adam. Beat adam first (getting his chainsaws of course!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!), go back to re-activate the control panel and greg appears. He shows you a shortcut in the toilets. After he has shown it to you, go back to the bookshop (dont go in before you have defeated adam) and take all 3 home - kinda a very easy 3 survivors there for you (although the EASIEST set by far are the 7 you rescue after defeating sean in the cinema, a very short trip to the security room - also get a book that makes survivors more aggressive)

thanks, means absolutely nothing to me though

guess i haven't got that far yet.

Going to have a play around tonight, as from what has been said if i mess up i can re-do it.

Ren.182 · 10 Oct 2006 at 10:42

Thanks, Kainz

tbh this is what I done. I got past the first few case files, and was still struggling abit of saving some people and getting whooped by zombies. So when I died after that I saved and quited. Upon returning the "Continue Game" option will be gone, and you WONT be able to continue on from where you left off.

But I started the game again, done everything I did before and pretty much doubled my level when I got back to the point I bottled it before, was much stronger and found it much easier.

Im only on level 20 now, but when you get to level 50 like Kainz and the others at that stage it must be quite easy... yet I bet still TONS of fun

Snow-Munki · 10 Oct 2006 at 11:13

oh that's another point.

When i do it again:

1.) what happens when i resave the same people again, do i get more points ?

2.) if not, how do i know who i need to save and who i don't ?

tezmo · 10 Oct 2006 at 11:16

stupid question: where does it say what my current level is?

Yep you get the PP again for everyone one you save, no matter if you aved them before

Its on the top left of ya screen, it will say PP [current pp % bar] Lv: xx. The PP bar indicates how much more PP you need til you reach the next level
