I'm gonna a see if I can either buy or rent this tonight. I've really wanted it for a while now.

[Kor Qel Droma]

Hey Bok how did you make out against

those three convicts in the jeep?

They owned me pretty bad.

[Bokishi]

Haven't beaten them yet. I rescued the chic tho.

[Bokishi]

w00t bump

[Kor Qel Droma]

I'll have to admit that there was a wicked huge smile across my face as I mowed over scores of zombies in the car park.

 

Did you experiment at all with the nectar, Bok?

[Bokishi]

That's going to be my method for killing 55k of them and unlocking the real megaman gun. Remember, psychopaths die with one shot from that thing!

[Kor Qel Droma]

When I took out the trio of pychopaths I can confess that I took the cowards way out and jumped off of a zombies head onto the roof of some structure in the park after they became stuck underneath it. Then it was a turkey shoot.

 

I was pissed, however that I couldn't unwedge the jeep they had from underneath.

 

Was it just me or is that car park pretty damn infested in the evenings? It's like zombie soup!

[Pop]

This is a difficult game, but it was always fun. Even when you realized that you're doing the same thing over and over again, you still want to play it.

 

I was skeptical at first, but this game really exceeded my expectations. Capcom's got another legacy to cultivate.

[Kor Qel Droma]

Hey! Those gorram pyschopaths respawn! And I'm really starting to dislike Carlito, what with his sniper rifle and whatnot.

[Pop]

In a nutshell, I beat the game by losing (in fact, there are several endings depending on how you play the game) I don't know how anyone would be able to win the first time around.

 

You really have to save as many people as possible your first game, level up around 15, and then when you inevitably run out of time, you start the game again at level 15. Beat Adam the clown, get his chainsaws and the blade, hardware and survival books (the chainsaws last x33 times as long, and they respawn) and save the guy he was harrassing, and you'll get an invaluable inter-bathroom shortcut. The chainsaws will beat anything, if you're fast enough.

 

Once you get the shortcut, you can manage to avoid the psychos in the truck altogether.

[Kor Qel Droma]

This 'invaluable bathroom shortcut' is different from the maitenace key, isn't it?

 

As for levelling up, I seem to be running a fine balance between saving the survivors and progressing the story. I saved Sophie, one half of the Japanese duo, and the two guys in the clothing shop.

 

My last playthrough I pretty much carried that lady with the broken leg right as the day two mission was starting. Then I had a run in with Carlito...

[Pop]

Yeah, it's different. If you save the guy Adam the Clown is holding captive, he'll open a two-way shortcut from paradise plaza to wonderland plaza. You jump onto the women's bathroom counter and use an "invisible door" It only works if you save the dude, though. It's hella nifty for getting from the south/east end of the plaza to the north/west end. It really does cut back on travel time considerably, and you can bring people through it. I must have saved over 10 people that way.

[Qazplm]

Were can i find Adam the clown? And wich books are agument the chain saw blades and where do i find them?

[Pop]

Adam the clown is in wonderland plaza, which is the western part of the mall. The spaceship ride that rolls around is out of control, and if you try and turn it off he'll show up. I went at him with a hunting knife, which is a common weapon a lot of zombies hold. It's fast enough that he can't defend himself when he recoils from a hit. I was able to just hit him once and then slice him to death while he was sitting there. That works for quite a few of the psychos, actually.

 

In the paradise plaza (just outside the warehouse on the East end) there are 2 bookstores. One of them is small, and it has a hardware book. There's a larger bookstore that has a blade book, which you can also use. The third book (survival) you have to earn by beating the Hatchet Man vietnam psycho at the north end of the mall. Really, the 2 books should keep you pretty much set, but having all 3 makes you unstoppable.

If they do, we should be in for some great screenshots...

[Pop]

no no, think of the mods. If they make it moddable. I keep thinking how a SPECIAL-esque perk system could spice things up.

[christ101]

clowns are scary

[Bokishi]

I like when the clown dies; what a psycho LOL

[Krookie]

I haven't really done much with the story so far. I'm only level 5 at the moment, which means I get destroyed by Carlito everytime I try to take him on.

 

The parking lot/garage is a lot of fun.

[Qazplm]

Krookie once you hit 50 it all gets a lot easier.

[Krookie]

o rly?
