Bought Dead Rising 2 from Steam sales. Addicting and tons of silly fun, although can get annoying at times, especially during boss fights. Great game nonetheless if you're looking for some mindless fun. Was looking for something to pass the time until Pillars of Eternity comes up, and this definitely hits the mark.
I was thinking today about Dead Rising 2 on Steam. I read the Steam user reviews and they are grumbling badly about Games For Windows Live. Strange because the Steam user reviews of Dead Rising 3 say GFWL has been taken off it.
Either way though, I was curious about DR2 because I have recently bought Dead Island. I have played twenty hours, and while it's lots of fun, there's lots wrong with it. My biggest observation with it is that it has such little ammo, and guns that are all but useless against zombies. If they had made it a zombie-shooter with guns that kill zombies, it would rock. There's plenty of enemies, and they re-spawn in areas previously cleared, within about ten minutes. Therefor there would be no easy ride with effective guns.
Guns make more sense to me in zombie games, because the last thing you want is the blood spattering on you. That is how you get infected, i.e. if you have an open wound, or it gets in your mouth. Plus in any good zombie movie, the first thing they do is head for the gun-shop.
You have to wonder why no-one has recently made a rock solid zombie shooter.
