Anyone got the PC version yet? Just need confirmation that its not a bad port so I can green light my purchase tomorrow morning.

The PC version isn't out until next week I'm afraid.

My pre-order got cancelled

Kainz · 23 Sep 2010 at 21:30

^Oh noes! What happened?

Psymonkee · 23 Sep 2010 at 21:47

New retailer, taking orders for a lot of hot pre-orders (inc. Halo which shipped ok).

Website wasn't fully launched so they took orders via PayPal. Now their account is suspended for 6 months whilst PayPal audit it :/

Refunds on the way however.

Been a successful ebay shop up until now as well from what I can gather

Kainz · 23 Sep 2010 at 22:16

ack! So you going to buy it in the shops tomorrows I assume?

Psymonkee · 23 Sep 2010 at 22:19

If we stock it at work I will.

If not I'll cry instead

R0B75 · 23 Sep 2010 at 22:27

Still indecided on whether to get this tomorrow. Enjoyed the first one and also enjoyed Case Zero but neither were great games IMO. Hmm decisions....

FeFiDoh · 23 Sep 2010 at 22:37

Same here, was getting it from the same place. Really bloody annoying! Guess I'll pick it up on the high street tomorrow.

Im finding this so hard, i suck

HAz · 24 Sep 2010 at 00:41

Saving is doing my head in too!!!!!!

HAz · 24 Sep 2010 at 01:33

Well ive overwritten the saves and i dont have enough time to finish some case, so its impossible to do now. Think i will give up and sell this.
Great game but to hard and awkward.

That's the whole point of the save/time system - you cannot do every case in a single sitting. It is what the hardcore kids couldn't understand about DR1 so they slagged it off. You should stick to it, one lost case isn't all that and if it's your daughter related, then start over again as your character levels over anyway.

You've got to prioritise what cases you do and make sacrifices. For example I saved Chad (old geezer with the shottie) but haven't the time to save his daughter who is lost in the mall.

Dead Rising had one slot only, and that made the game real hard as you had to plan and prioritise cases on every single gaming session. None of this quick saving every 5mins lark. It was done on purpose by Capcom.

On another note, flipping hell the zombies are fast! Even the daylight zombies can be a pain. Case Zero day/night zombies were well slow. I like!

so if you cant do all the missions in one sitting when you restart, do the missions you have done, remain done?

antijoke · 24 Sep 2010 at 06:56

No, they must be done again, but your level remains the same.

Oh right, i could see that getting old pretty rapidly

antijoke · 24 Sep 2010 at 07:11

You'd be surprised, I managed multiple play throughs of Dr1, you will also complete other missions you weren't able to first time round.

Rambo89 · 24 Sep 2010 at 07:22

Might pick this up today for PS3 since my PC versions been delayed til the 1st now.

blueshift · 24 Sep 2010 at 07:35

If you didn't like the first I doubt you'll like this one if I'm honest.
