Unskippable: Dead Rising 2: Part 3

[Ashcrexl]

Its only after this episode that I realised it went on for nearly as long as MGS4 did, but I didn't find it tired and boring.
Huh.

they skipped almost all of the action-y cutscenes in Act I. not that i'm defending Kojima's baffling decision to make MGS4 half cutscene. just sayin, they're not all bad.

"...the fun part won't start until you get rid of Chuck's daughter."
Yep, that sums up the entire feel of the game quite nicely.

Funny, but I'm glad you'll be doing something else next week.

I like how Chuck manages to just walk through the zombies without getting attacked but the other people cant seem to. He's even carrying his daughter.

 

[rofl jet]

That gameboy/psp thing manages to last throughout most of the game. I wish my stuff had battery life like that.

She probably brought a charger... oh shi-aaeooeurgh

Paul, by now I think it would be bad if they didn't have a standard procedure for zombie quarantine. I pretty sure everyone's got a standard procedure for zombie quarantine.

Damn, I just got ninja'd. That's exactly what I was thinking during this whole episode. RvB is awesome.

OT: Great episode guys. Minus Metal Gear August, this is your guys first above two-parter. Awesome job.

Damnit, I want some chips...

...Wait, that seems familiar.

 

[Danielle Pepin]

My thoughts when the daughter pulled out the handheld game: "Oh look video games can help the brain to actively delay progression of zombie infections."

 

[Roofstone]

I was pretty much ignoring this game.. But now I wanna play.. Well, I got a few extra coins to spare. Hehe

Its not the cutscenes themselves, I just found their commentry a lot funnier and entertaining.

Bloody Hell, that is Kenny Rogers.

The helplessness of the victims is underscored by Chuck effortlessly weaving through the zombies like it ain't no thang while carrying his child. What was stopping all of these presumably not disabled adults from just jogging a little and being absolutely fine? You don't have to stand still.

First, I love your Avatar....Bill Nye the Science Guy!! I loved that show!

OT: Seriously though, those were some of the slowest zombies I've seen....And I've seen Night of the Living Dead! Why were people having a hard time running away? Good job on the commentary....some very funny lines!

 

[AvsJoe]

Bloody Hell, that is Kenny Rogers.

I hadn't noticed either. Thanks Lrr!

 

[TheSYLOH]

Great Video.

Now are you guys ever going to do a Mass Effect 2 Intro Riff?
As good as the game was that intro deserves to be ripped a new one...
Or at least that's what I feel after being forced to watch it for multiple playthroughs.

"We Don't have any Zombrex, do we, Daddy?"

"Uhhhhh... Well, you see honey, I kinda bet the last few doses in a game of blackjack and sorta lost it all... I totally was going to get more after I saw my bookie, got my knees busted, won this silly contest, and used the rewards to totally save our sorry selves..."

I'm sorry, but in a zombie apocalypse having the anti-zombie meds is pretty high up on the priorities list along with not getting bitten and packing some lethal weapons. What other decisions did the protagonist make in his life?

"Oh, uh, sorry honey... I was totally going to barricade the door but... I saw, like, a butterfly outside and it was really cool!"

 

[TrippingBowser]

Considering if Katey misses a dose of zomberx she will irreversibly become a zombie it might not be a good idea to wait tell the last minute to by it.

 

[Vohn_exel]

This was the funniest of the three Dead Rising 2 vids. I loved Kenny Rogers, although I was thinking of "Mac" from the old Highlander series.

 

[RountreeUSMC]

Edit: Also, pre-exsisting condition? How does that work? Judging from this you get zombiefied pretty much instantly?

Not quite. In the Dead Rising continuity you have approximately an hour before you turn. If you can get a dose of the antidote before then you can keep yourself from turning. In Katey's case, Zombrex 12 Hour formula (Dead Rising: Case Zero) was available and they were in Las Vegas so Chuck probably was able to find some fairly quickly. In Dead Rising 2 Zombrex has been improved to a 24 hour formula but I don't know what the exact window for the very first administration is. The Zombrex (or Ambuzol Vaspilatin) box only says it must be administered "within the hour leading up to your 24 hour interval."

EDIT: Actually I think it may be longer than an hour because I seem to remember some of the survivors having pretty long durations before I absolutely had to give them Zombrex.

Hi, you don't know me but I couldn't help but overhear your catastrophic problem. Fortunately I have come up with a plan whilst you were softly weeping and I by a remarkable coincidence all the tools you need to solve your problem are right here in this room. Now go to this location and do this and problem solved. Don't worry about the kid, I will also provide free childcare whilst I literally watch your back.

CLEARLY THIS IS NOT ANYTHING APPROACHING REALITY.

 

[Arif_Sohaib]

How could they manage to miss the I am Legend reference where guy looks very much like Will Smith is asking everyone to go the shelter?
Great commentary nevertheless.

Paul, by now I think it would be bad if they didn't have a standard procedure for zombie quarantine. I pretty sure everyone's got a standard procedure for zombie quarantine.

Yeah, this is after the first game so I'm sure almost everyone has a standard procedure for zombies now, hence the huge underground bunker they all dive into with the airlock like doors. I loved the zombrex jingle you guys did.

Does anyone know if those catty bitches from the last cutscene get chomped up at all during the game?
